Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 481 - 447

Half an hour later, Chen Ping quietly returned home.

Chen Xu did not return home with him. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In the middle of the night, everyone at home was already asleep. His return at this time would be more of a shock than a surprise.

It would be better to stay outside for a while and return home the next day after dawn.

Chen Ping originally wanted to persuade him, but Chen Xu said, "Elder brother, if you are worried that I have nowhere to go at night and will have to sleep outdoors, there is no need for that.

I have already embarked on the path of cultivation and have the convenient methods of a Cultivator."

After saying this, he pointed to a patch of empty ground nearby.

Immediately, a small exquisite wooden house flew out from his hand, and after landing, it grew larger against the wind, transforming into a three-room house.

It had green tiles and white walls, and sculpted window frames. The size of the house was no different from a normal dwelling.

At a glance, this house seemed as though it naturally belonged there.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Chen Ping would have never thought that this house was transformed from a tiny wooden house as small as a palm.

He stared at it in amazement for a long while, then gently exhaled a breath.

The Immortal Path in the Mortal World has indeed become as vast as the heavens and the abyss.

Chen Ping should have been astonished and praised it, yet unaccountably he felt a heaviness in his heart.

He hurriedly swept away the strange feeling in his heart, showing a smile, he said:

"Immortal methods are beyond my imagination. Second brother, your world is truly magnificent.

If that’s the case, then I won’t hold you back."

After that, the two brothers parted ways, no need to mention it any further.

Chen Xu found a piece of empty land on the back mountain to place his portable wooden house again.

This item was acquired at the Hundred Battles Ruins in Bailiu City, along with many practical items from the Xuantian Star Realm.

Both Ah Shi and Wei Yuan were curious.

Wei Yuan was relatively composed, while Ah Shi immediately cheered, like a small cannonball leaping down from Chen Xu’s shoulder, rushing into the wooden house quickly.

The three-room house had one main room and two smaller rooms.

Inside, there were tables, chairs, beds, and bedding, simple yet not crude.

Ah Shi observed everything with great curiosity, darting left and right inside the house, then cheering:

"Scholar, is this our home from now on?"

Wei Yuan also couldn’t resist taking a look around the house, turning to watch Chen Xu, waiting for his answer.

Chen Xu laughed and said, "This is just a portable dwelling inscribed with a Mustard Seed Array, convenient, but calling it home..."

He paused; he was going to say that the small house can’t really be considered a home.

After all, it’s fragile and easily damaged.

But seeing the expectant eyes of the two Little Demons, Chen Xu’s heart was slightly moved, and he shifted to say:

"But calling it home is not impossible either.

After all, the path of cultivation is long and slow, where isn’t home?

The point isn’t the location of the house, but having family by your side.

Ah Shi, Ah Yuan, with you here, this is home."

These words were so touching, the Little Mouse leaped over suddenly, jumping onto a table, its eyes round and wide, saying:

"Scholar, you deceive demons! Always saying such pleasant words.

What does it mean by with us here, it’s home?

If you really cared about us that much, why did you disappear without a trace before?"

By this point, its eyes were already brimming with tears.

It had wanted to hold back, but truly couldn’t.

The Little Mouse pouted, trying not to cry out loud.

It couldn’t be this spineless!

Yet it didn’t realize that its teary-eyed look was even more heart-wrenching than actually crying.

Even with a heart like stone, Chen Xu might not withstand it.

Moreover, Chen Xu indeed cared for them deeply, with guilt lying in the depths of his heart.

"Ah Shi." Chen Xu wanted to reach out to comfort it, then turning his head, he saw Wei Yuan standing on the windowsill beside the desk, carrying a bookcase.

The Hedgehog was much more stable than the Little Mouse, stoic, with not a tear in sight.

However, when it stood on the windowsill, its body slightly tense, looking up at Chen Xu, that unsaid reproach seemed more powerful than the Little Mouse’s vocal complaints.

Now what could he do, unable to soothe even one, and now there were two?

What else could Chen Xu possibly do?

He could only release one, two, three...

In the end, as many as twelve bronze puppet lamps flapped their differently shaped wings, flying in circles around Ah Shi and Wei Yuan.

A hideous and shameless flying dog lamp controlled by Chen Xu, sometimes flying in front of the Little Mouse, seemingly begging for forgiveness with folded hands.

Then flying to the Little Mouse’s feet, turning over showing its wrinkled belly.

Some small lamps flew so fast, emitting a whirring sound as if pleading in the wind.

Finally, a similarly ugly flying cat demon lamp fell at the Little Mouse’s feet, rolling over beside its furry little mouse claws.

The Little Mouse could no longer hold back, "Chi Chi" burst into laughter.

With that laugh, the previously tense atmosphere immediately broke.

Including Wei Yuan, upon whose bookcase perched a beautiful dragonfly lamp, its soft light gently illuminating the little hedgehog’s profile, conveying a spiritual warmth.

Wei Yuan could no longer keep a stern face, it squinted its eyes, sighed, and smiled.

What else could they do?

As long as Mr. Chen returns safely.

Afterwards, Chen Xu briefly explained to the two Little Demons the reasons for his sudden disappearance.

Though he did not elaborate on the matter of the mural, he only roughly explained that it was due to his overwhelming merit, causing him to "ascend" to another mysterious world—

Originally, Chen Xu intended to clarify the existence of the Xuantian Star Realm, but for some reason, just as he was about to reveal related words, he was suddenly seized by a frenzied sense of unease.

This terrifying feeling of unease carried a strong ominous premonition.

As Chen Xu had cultivated up to now, he dared not underestimate his own premonitions and senses.

He immediately changed the related explanation with vague and ambiguous terms, and that terrifying feeling finally slowly eased.

In the Nine Continents World inside the mural, he couldn’t mention the Xuantian Star Realm directly?

Feeling doubtful, Chen Xu guessed that there must still be some mysterious connection between these two worlds that he couldn’t comprehend currently.

This secret might be another treasure he must conquer on his path to higher heights.

In the Xuantian Star Realm, the Golden Core is nothing, the Nascent Soul is not the peak, transformation to the divine is only partway...

Even the star-returning ancestor of the tribulation-transcending period would call themselves a Little Cultivator, so what does the true pinnacle look like?

Chen Xu recalled the "whisper of the wind" he obtained from slaying a demon.

Could this "whisper of the wind" possibly solve some of the universe’s secrets?

Chen Xu restrained the impulse to immediately listen, first catching up with the two Little Demons.

Of course, he also promised that he would never again leave without saying goodbye.

Afterwards, Chen Xu took out many gifts he brought for the two Little Demons.

The Little Mouse was startled, cheering, and had already forgotten its previous anger.

"Storage Backpack? Is this for me? But I have the Shejun Ruins... However, this backpack is really beautiful, somewhat similar to the hedgehog’s bookcase.

I like it, even if it’s extra, I still want it!"

"Hedgehog, your satchel looks nice too, the Scholar is really thoughtful, also considering the inconvenience of your bookcase for retrieving things."
