"Auntie, does our sect's canteen only have steamed buns, and no other dishes?"

Shen Rugo quickly took the plate, but asked the aunt with a smile on her face.

How can we possibly eat just steamed buns? As long as there are vegetables, even if they're a bit pricey, I'll take it.

"Other dishes?"

The aunt looked at Shen Rugo strangely.

"It's just some stir-fried dishes, like stir-fried pork, stir-fried beef, or some vegetables, like stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried spinach, and stir-fried lettuce!"

Shen Rugo quickly explained.

"Pork, beef, which are you allowed to eat?"

The aunt's eyes widened even more.

"Those dishes are inedible; the cafeteria never makes them?"

Shen Rugo's eyes widened as well.

It seems that pork and beef do exist in this world.

"You little brat, are you saying you didn't come here to cultivate immortality? Don't you cultivators don't eat those things? Even if you did, you'd have to eat spirit beast meat?"

The aunt finally understood that what Shen Rugo wanted were the dishes of the secular world.

However, a prestigious cultivation sect would naturally not have such dishes.

"Eat spirit beast meat, spirit beast meat is fine too!"

Shen Rugo immediately smacked her lips.

I imagine the meat of that spirit beast must taste even more delicious; I really want to try it.

"You little brat, spirit beast meat is very expensive, and our restaurant doesn't have it."

The aunt waved her hand, seemingly a little dissatisfied with Shen Rugo's constant fuss over food.

Ok!

Shen Rugo sighed, picked up three steamed buns, found a random spot, and buried her head in her food.

That bite really surprised her.

The steamed buns still taste like steamed buns, but now they have a subtle fragrance.

Is that spiritual energy?

Shen Rugo instantly understood.

It turns out that these steamed buns are not ordinary steamed buns; they are made with flour containing spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to cultivators.

She now finally understood why that aunt was a little disappointed in her.

Shen Rugo's stomach kept rumbling, and she quickly finished off all three steamed buns.

I thought about how I lived on the mountaintop and the canteen was far away.

When she gets busy, and doesn't know when she'll be able to come back for the next meal, she simply packs it up and takes it home.

"Auntie, could you give me a few more steamed buns?"

"Three steamed buns weren't enough to fill you up?"

The aunt looked at Shen Rugo strangely.

"I'm full. I'm packing up for the next meal and the one after that. I'm probably too busy to come down!"

Shen Rugo quickly explained.

"Each person gets three steamed buns per meal. If you want to take some home, you have to deduct the six steamed buns for the next two meals first."

The woman nodded.

“Okay!” Shen Rugo handed over her outer disciple token.

Everyone did this upon entering the program.

Just like a university student ID card, the token represents everything about her, including various points, and is valid throughout the entire sect.

"This Shen Rugo, it's been so long since I've seen her. Has she been cultivating all this time, without even time to eat? And she even took away the steamed buns for the next two meals?"

When the others saw Shen Rugo's small stature and her hurried departure carrying six steamed buns, they began to whisper among themselves.

"It seems she's really delusional, wanting to break through to the third level of Qi Refining within three months and defeat Senior Brother Zhang Shiduo!"

"A person with a miscellaneous five spiritual roots defeating Senior Brother Zhang? That's a joke! Haven't you heard? Senior Brother Zhang has already drawn in Qi and will reach the first level of Qi Refining today!"

"Senior Brother Zhang actually guided Qi into his body for a whole day and night, and he can reach the first level of Qi Refining today?"

"of course!"

"A genius, truly a genius. Eighty-eight superior-grade single spiritual roots, worthy of worship!"

"I dare say that among our generation, Senior Brother Zhang is the most powerful. He will definitely become a personal disciple of some peak master in a year, and might even be favored by the sect leader and taken in as his personal disciple!"

"That Shen Rugo actually dares to dream of defeating Senior Brother Zhang. Even if he had eighteen steamed buns, it wouldn't be enough!"

“Cultivation talent is innate, not something that can be changed through hard work. I dare say that in three months, Shen Rugo will be lucky to reach the first level of Qi Refining; she won't even be worthy of carrying Senior Brother Zhang's shoes!”

……

Soon, the cafeteria erupted in discussion again, filled with disdain for Shen Rugo's retreating figure.

"The pressure is immense, the pressure is immense!"

"I didn't expect Zhang Shiduo to be so powerful. He managed to draw Qi into his body for a whole day and night and even reached the first level!"

Shen Rugo naturally heard what these people were saying and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, mixed feelings).

I haven't even figured out how to cultivate yet, and others have already guided Qi into their bodies.

The cultivation journey is not yet complete; comrades, we still need to work hard!

Shen Rugo quickened her pace!

Time is money, time is everything.

"Oh no! Junior Sister Shen Rugo is back! We need to hide!"

"Didn't she go out to eat? Why is she back so soon? Is she going to study those mysterious runes again?"

Ye Xinghe and Xiao Qiushui sensed Shen Rugo's presence and quickly slipped out of Shen Rugo's room to continue hiding.

Soon, Shen Rugo's figure came into their view.

“When Junior Sister Shen Rugo went out, she was actually wearing the glass dress that Fourth Brother gave her.”

"Didn't you see the shoes she was wearing? They're top-grade spiritual treasures. No need to ask, only the fourth brother among us could afford to give them away."

"It's good to be rich and powerful, but I'll save all the good stuff for my junior sister from now on. She'll definitely be better than the fourth brother!"

……

Ye Xinghe and Xiao Qiushui quickly noticed Shen Rugo's skirt and shoes, and the two became jealous.

It felt like Chen Tianba had taken away something she liked.

"No, someone has been in my room!"

After entering the room, Shen Rugo immediately noticed that the draft paper had been altered.

She has an exceptional memory; when she left, the arrangement of every item in the room was imprinted in her mind.

It was obvious that someone had been here and had touched her draft paper.

"Who is this? Why did they come into my room and go through my draft papers?"

Shen Rugo picked up the paper on the table and looked around.

"Junior Sister Shen Rugo is indeed extraordinary. One of us is a Golden Core cultivator, and the other is in the late Foundation Establishment stage. We didn't leave any trace, yet she detected us immediately!"

"No wonder the third brother's eyes lit up and he talked non-stop when he mentioned Junior Sister Shen Rugo!"

Ye Xinghe and Xiao Qiushui were immediately shocked.

When they left the room, Ye Xinghe even cast a cleansing spell to eliminate their presence.

"I wonder which senior brother has come to visit his junior sister? Please come out and greet him!"

Shen Rugo looked at it in confusion, then suddenly spoke loudly.

Moreover, her gaze seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally drifting toward the place where the two were hiding.

"Could it be that our junior sister has discovered our hiding place?"

"Although the place is small, I cast an invisibility spell on this hiding place, yet she was still able to see it?"

Ye Xinghe and Xiao Qiushui exchanged a glance, their faces filled with shock.

It's terrifying that a mere mortal who isn't even at the Qi Refining stage could figure out where they were hiding.

"Haha, senior brother, I see you! Stop hiding, come out! I'm so grateful that you took the initiative to come and see your junior sister. I'm so touched, so touched!"

Just as the two were in shock, they suddenly heard Shen Rugo burst into laughter.

"She really found us?"

The two looked at each other again, their eyes filled with admiration.

Then, the two figures appeared directly.

"Greetings, senior brothers! Since you're here, please come and sit in my room. I'll treat you to a good meal!"

Shen Rugo never expected that her casual bluff would actually trick two people into revealing her true identity.

Moreover, these two were just as good-looking as Lu Haoran and Chen Tianba, which immediately made her eyes light up and she shouted repeatedly!
