Hunger-Resistant and Filling

It's very filling!

Logically speaking, any cultivator who lives in a place with abundant spiritual energy can possess the ability to Grain Avoidance as long as their Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now that Lin Fan has reached the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, it is naturally easy for him to Grain Avoidance.

However, the ability to Grain Avoidance is not, strictly speaking, a 'passive ability,' but an active one!

It is not that having this level of cultivation means one can stop eating, nor does it mean that after reaching this level, digestive functions will gradually deteriorate or even disappear.

These abilities still exist, and they will be many times more powerful than those of ordinary people!

How is Grain Avoidance accomplished?

After the Foundation Establishment Stage, cultivators have laid a solid foundation and are about to begin truly "entering the inner sanctum." At this point, their bodily functions can actively block out sensations such as hunger.

But simply blocking hunger isn't enough; what if someone starves to death without realizing it?

Therefore, while blocking the feeling of hunger, it is also necessary to absorb spiritual energy through the body and convert some of the spiritual energy into what the body needs.

This is why one needs to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage and in an environment rich in spiritual energy.

If there is no spiritual energy around, even if one has the Foundation Establishment Stage, without spiritual energy to absorb, one can only continuously convert the True Essence in one's body into what the body needs.

What if too much transformation leads to insufficient True Essence?

Starve!

Even cultivators would gradually starve to death under such circumstances.

Therefore, Grain Avoidance, as an energy-saving practice, is an 'active skill' rather than a 'passive skill'.

Since he was going to try the Spirit Rice, Lin Fan naturally turned off the active skill of Grain Avoidance before eating it.

After all, if you're going to 'evaluate' Spirit Rice, what's the point of blocking out related information?

In this way, the feeling of hunger will follow.

But after eating the Spirit Rice and carefully experiencing it, he suddenly discovered that, without realizing it, his hunger had completely disappeared.

And it's definitely not an illusion, nor is it the feeling of being 'overly hungry'.

It gives you a feeling of fullness!

That's quite astonishing.

Feeling full?!

I only ate six grains of rice. How could Spirit Rice have such an effect?

He murmured slightly, and upon looking inside, he could clearly see that his stomach was digesting that pitiful amount of rice.

But the digestion was slow, as if it were difficult to digest.

It's filling!?

Is this a special effect of this Spirit Rice? He was puzzled, yet also somewhat curious.

Of course, if he used his own methods to digest it, this amount of Spirit Rice would be easily finished in no time, and he would definitely not feel full.

But there's no need for that now.

The purpose was to verify the efficacy of the Spirit Rice, and you're forcing it to be digested?

You're insane!

At the same time, he looked up at the five Human Path who were deep in thought and asked, "When was the last time you ate?"

"Midday to late afternoon, I suppose."

"It's about time for dinner."

After realizing that this 'big shot' was actually a complete scumbag at heart, they became a little more relaxed.

Although still reserved, it was far less exaggerated than before.

"Oh? So now, are you hungry?"

They are only at the Qi Refining Stage.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely be hungry! Because cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage cannot Grain Avoidance, nor can they actively block out their hunger. In fact, due to their cultivation, they digest food faster than ordinary people and get hungry faster.

It was almost evening, so naturally I was hungry.

"Forehead..."

The five people were taken aback, and after sensing it for a moment, they all showed expressions of surprise.

"That's strange!"

"I was so focused on my headache and the after-effects of the medicine that I didn't notice that the feeling of hunger had actually subsided a lot?"

"That seems to be the case, but that's strange."

"A bowl of water... well, a bowl of rice porridge, can give us a slight feeling of fullness? That's really strange!"

"Is Spirit Rice really that scary?"

They were all puzzled.

At this moment, my body can't lie; I'm really not hungry, and you could even say I can hardly feel any hunger.

Of course, I was definitely not full.

The feeling of being starving had completely disappeared. At first, they were all preoccupied with how to write their post-meal reflections, so none of them noticed anything amiss.

Therefore, after being reminded by Lin Fan, they were all startled after experiencing it.

"It's basic procedure, don't panic. After all, it's Spirit Rice, so it's normal for it to keep you feeling a little hungry."

Lin Fan, however, confirmed his guess.

It's very filling!

Absolutely filling!

Otherwise, given their physiques refined Qi Refining Stage, let alone a bowl of rice porridge diluted like that, even eating a large bowl of white rice would not make them feel hungry.

I could eat three or five bowls of rice, and maybe a little more meat.

But now they can stop feeling hungry just by drinking some water.

Isn't this because Spirit Rice has a strong effect of 'filling the stomach'?

"You can start writing, and remember to pay attention to how you feel. Tell me when you get hungry."

"Okay, Mister Lin."

The five men dared not hesitate and immediately agreed.

"Okay, keep writing." Lin Fan nodded with a smile.

The five people. "..."

Damn it!

They could barely contain themselves and were practically cursing. Who wanted to write this garbage? It's awful!!!

The next day, early morning.

They returned to the experimental field, found the Old Man, and handed over Lin Fan's "post-meal reflections".

As for what they wrote...

I don't know, and I dare not ask!

They did write it down and gave it to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan didn't let them bring it back to give to the Old Man...

It's awful!

They could almost all guess that this time... they were definitely being used as pawns again.

"Call!"

The Old Man was so excited that he didn't sleep a wink all night. It's just that his physical condition is many times younger and healthier than before, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have made it this far.

Seeing Lin Fan's "post-meal review" now makes me both nervous and excited.

Open the envelope and take out the 'letter'...

Okay, it's just a page torn from a regular notebook.

There were a few lines of text written on it.

"I felt a reduction in my symptoms after eating Spirit Rice!"

Upon seeing the top line, the Old Man was both amused and exasperated. "He's making it all so formal..."

"That's fine, that's fine too."

He then calmed down.

"Based on my experience after eating it, I can draw several conclusions."

First, Spirit Rice) is safe to consume and is non-toxic.

The Old Man's lips twitched.

Non-toxic?

My God, he put one hand to his forehead.

"I completely forgot to do this test, thank goodness..."

"Empirical thinking can be deadly. I must be more cautious in the future and never be so reckless again."

The rice that the Old Man researched was never poisonous.

So naturally, he wouldn't think in that direction; he just wanted Lin Fan to try it and give his opinion.

But now I'm suddenly shocked and realize it!

Before, it was all ordinary rice, but now? It's Spirit Rice!

While it's called "Spirit Rice," in scientific terms, it's actually a 'mutated individual' or 'evolution'.

Who knows if this mutated individual is poisonous?!

"Secondly, it contains a relatively abundant amount of spiritual energy, which is beneficial to both ordinary people and cultivators after consumption!"

"The benefits to ordinary people are longevity and Strengthening the Body. For cultivators, it can increase cultivation speed to a certain extent and speed up recovery after consumption."

"Third, it tastes extremely delicious and can be easily eaten without any other dishes."

Fourth, it's filling!

"Based on our feedback, an average person should be able to stay full for at least three days after eating a small bowl of this!"

"Qi Refining Stage cultivator can survive for about two hours without feeling hungry just by drinking a little diluted rice porridge. If he eats a small bowl of Spirit Rice, he should be able to stay full for a whole day."

"That's all my feedback after eating it!"

Upon seeing this, the Old Man was all smiles and very excited.

"Good!"

"Hurrah!"

He couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, that's great!"

"It's even better than I expected! I thought the yield of this Spirit Rice would decrease by about 40%, but I didn't expect that if we take into account its satiety effect, the yield should have increased instead of decreased!"

"Furthermore, if we could find some other varieties of Spirit Rice and crossbreed them, we might be able to combine the characteristics of multiple Spirit Rice varieties!"

"Now, the most important issue is to confirm whether the rice grains produced by this Spirit Rice can be cultivated as seeds!"

"Call..."

He was excited for a moment, then forced himself to calm down before saying, "Be careful, everyone."

The crowd was puzzled and looked at him.

"The Spirit Rice was actually close to ripe yesterday, or rather, it was already ripe! I'm waiting for it to be fully ripe, but it will be at most tomorrow."

"Therefore, this period is actually the most dangerous."

"There's a high chance that all sorts of creatures will come to steal it..."

At this moment, a few Resident Happiness Living Department who were guarding the Spirit Rice area spoke up, "Old Man, you were right."

"Since last night, a lot of miscellaneous animals have appeared and tried to get close, but we scared them away. They don't dare to come any closer."

"That's right, I even counted them. There were at least seventeen or eighteen snakes, and I don't know how many frogs, mice, birds, etc."

"So don't worry, Old Man. Even if we don't sleep or rest, we'll definitely keep an eye on them. There are quite a few animals, but we're cultivators after all, so nothing will happen to us!"

"Let's be careful."

The Old Man gave his instructions.

"Yes, you can rest assured."

The Old Man nodded. "Alright, I'll go and explore the other areas carefully, and see if I can get lucky and find a few more Spirit Rice."

"We'll go with you."

A group of his old subordinates, who had arrived this morning, rolled up their trousers and joined the Old Man in searching the fields...

The fields seemed to have returned to tranquility.

The guys from the Resident Happiness Living Department stood around Spirit Rice, their aura radiating outwards, easily intimidating the snakes, insects, and rodents, keeping them away.

Animals have a stronger instinct for danger than humans.

In the Qi Refining Stage, although one is still a complete novice among cultivators, one has already begun to complete the 'leap' of life level.

Moreover, they were actively radiating their aura, so ordinary snakes, insects, and rodents naturally dared not approach them.
