The Meal-Serving Disciple's unwilling shout startled everyone.

The Meal-Serving Disciple, red-faced and neck bulging with anger, raised his ladle, ready to strike Chen Xun!

"What do you think you're doing?"

Qian Laifu's eyes narrowed as he quickly stopped the Meal-Serving Disciple.

The Meal-Serving Disciple froze, casting a resentful glance at Chen Xun, his hand dropping weakly.

Qian Laifu glanced coldly at the disciples responsible for breakfast in the dining hall and said, "Hmph, for today's incident, each of you will have three contribution points deducted to teach you a lesson!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

The faces of the dining hall disciples turned pale, feeling numb.

"Hehehe, I ate it."

Chen Xun suddenly scratched his head and said.

Instantly, countless disciples' eyes focused on Chen Xun, their gazes flickering.

The Meal-Serving Disciple was overjoyed and shouted, "Steward, steward, did you hear that? Chen Xun admitted he ate it!"

The Meal-Serving Disciple looked at Chen Xun, his gaze softening, indicating that Chen Xun had a conscience.

Qian Laifu turned around, gave Chen Xun a suspicious look, and then said, "Chen Xun, you're kind-hearted. These disciples tried to frame you, yet you still defend them... But I, as the steward, won't believe you. You claim you ate the food meant for hundreds of disciples? That's nonsense."

Many Servant Disciples nodded, looking at Chen Xun with gentler eyes. Although Chen Xun seemed a bit off, he was a good person.

"This, this, this..."

The Meal-Serving Disciple suddenly looked dejected.

To be honest, even he didn't believe Chen Xun could eat that much. It felt like a dream—how did all that food just disappear?

...

However, this misunderstanding was soon cleared up during lunch.

Because Chen Xun could really eat!

The Servant Disciples watched in amazement as Chen Xun devoured food like a storm, consuming the portions of dozens of disciples by himself. Even at the end, the disciples noticed Chen Xun's lingering appetite.

If there had been more food, Chen Xun probably could have eaten even more...

The disciples watched Chen Xun's stomach with trepidation, wondering how someone could eat so much without their belly bulging. It was puzzling—where did all that food go? It didn't make sense!

The disciples responsible for breakfast immediately burst into tears upon learning the truth and hurried to find Qian Laifu. Qian Laifu was stunned for a moment upon hearing the truth and returned the deducted contribution points to those disciples.

Qian Laifu even specifically instructed the dining hall to prepare more food for each meal in the future.

And so, the Servant Disciples all knew that there was a crazy mortal at Mid-Mountain who could eat a lot.

...

In the following days, Chen Xun repeated the same routine every day: eating in the dining hall, sleeping in the thatched hut, and sweeping the mountain paths. It was quite leisurely.

Many Servant Disciples were actually quite envious of Chen Xun. Eating and sleeping without a care in the world seemed like a wonderful thing.

During this time, news of the upcoming Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony spread throughout the Dao Heaven Sect. The disciples of Servants' Peak also heard about it. It was said that the new disciple joining the sect had a Heavenly Gold Spirit Root!

This shocked and amazed the Servant Disciples.

When they joined the sect, they were assigned to Servants' Peak. Those with better luck might break through their realms and eventually advance to the outer sect, but those with bad luck who couldn't break through would have to leave the sect after some years.

Look at others—joining the sect as a Purple-Robed Disciple right from the start.

People really can't be compared to one another.

To the disciples of Servants' Peak, a Purple-Robed Disciple was like the moon, while they were just frogs in a well. Being able to catch a glimpse from afar was already an honor.

But honestly, they didn't even have the chance to catch a glimpse.

The Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony was not something Servant Disciples could attend.

...

Time flew by, and the day of the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony arrived.

Today, the Dao Heaven Sect was unusually lively, a stark contrast to its usual solemnity.

Each peak was adorned with a giant colorful flag, fluttering in the wind.

Meanwhile, streams of light streaked across the sky, entering the Immortal Mountain where the Dao Heaven Sect was located. These were sect forces arriving with invitation letters to offer their congratulations.

Logically, a disciple with a Heavenly Spirit Root should be kept under wraps. After all, as the saying goes, a genius who can't grow healthily is no different from a waste.

But a prominent sect like the Dao Heaven Sect, one of the top sects in Northern Profound, had no such concerns.

A major sect wouldn't hide its genius disciples; instead, it would widely announce them.

Firstly, to enhance the sect's prestige.

Secondly, to make the disciple feel the sect's attention from the bottom of their heart.

After submitting their invitation letters at the mountain gate, many sect forces were led by Dao Heaven Sect disciples towards Heaven Profound Peak.

The invitation letters clearly stated that the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony would take place at the Martial Arena on Heaven Profound Peak.

During this time, many disciples from Human Profound Peak and Earth Profound Peak were also fortunate enough to ascend Heaven Profound Peak to witness the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony.

Today, everyone in the Dao Heaven Sect was busy, except for Servants' Peak, which was under a ban. During the ceremony, no Servant Disciples were allowed to descend the mountain.

The lowly and bottom-tier status of Servant Disciples was evident.

...

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!...

A series of deep and solemn bell tolls rang out from Heaven Profound Peak, reaching Servants' Peak, causing countless Servant Disciples to look in that direction. Although they couldn't see anything, they understood that the Purple Robe Conferment Ceremony was about to begin.

"So envious, being promoted to Purple Robe is like ascending to the heavens in one step. When will we, the ants, ever rise?"

"I only know that instead of lamenting here, you should spend that time working hard on your cultivation. Otherwise, there's no hope for you to rise."

"......"

"Forget about Purple Robe; joining Human Profound Peak is a dream I can't reach in my lifetime. Sigh."

"Hahaha, you all are thinking too far ahead. For now, let's focus on getting out of Mid-Mountain first."

"The conferment ceremony must be grand and magnificent, but unfortunately, we don't have the chance to witness it."

The Servant Disciples lamented in place, feeling melancholic and unable to suppress their disappointment.

The four youths who had come together from Celestial Clarity City, including Yu Zheng, also had complex expressions in their eyes.

"Hmph! Are you all so idle?"

At this moment, Qian Laifu appeared, his big belly protruding as he scolded in a low voice.

"Uh."

The disciples were startled, bowed slightly, and then scattered to do their own tasks.

"Hmph."

Qian Laifu was displeased because he was stuck at Servants' Peak, watching over the Servant Disciples. He also wanted to go and see the ceremony.

Most importantly, it was Heaven Profound Peak—Qian Laifu had never been up there in his life.

"Sigh."

Qian Laifu sighed, remembering something, and couldn't help but look towards the west.

He recalled Xu Yang saying that Chen Xun was Zhao Ting's friend. It was a pity, he thought, because although not many days had passed, Zhao Ting had probably already forgotten about Chen Xun.
