What everyone knew

The Luoling Sect was vast.

Amid its sprawling mountain ranges stood thirty-six peaks that housed the sect's principal buildings, collectively known as the Luoling Sect's Thirty-Six Peaks.

Beyond those, hundreds of other peaks within the endless mountain ranges had also been developed by the Luoling Sect to varying degrees.

The Luoling Sect's Thirty-Six Peaks had more than four hundred thousand Inner Disciples in total.

The number of mortal servants working for the sect was more than ten times that of its Inner Disciples.

The cultivation sects of the Kunwu Continent all seemed enormous. Their populations even rivaled those of certain mortal countries or dynasties.

Many of the Luoling Sect's lesser peaks also held settlements where mortals lived and raised families, much like the towns and villages of mortal dynasties.

At that moment, Chen Yan and Su Yuanzhen were in a town on a lesser peak west of the Luoling Sect's Main Peak.

They sat together at a food stall, with all sorts of dishes covering the table before them.

Chen Yan wolfed down his food opposite Su Yuanzhen, while Su Yuanzhen sat calmly without taking a single bite.

For now, Chen Yan still needed to play the part of a Body Tempering Realm cultivator.

Only Body Tempering Realm cultivators needed to consume large amounts of energy through food every day to sustain themselves.

Once an Immortal Cultivator broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, true qi formed within their meridians and could largely replace their need for food. Thus, Qi Condensation Realm cultivators only needed to eat occasionally.

As for Martial Spring Realm cultivators, their Martial Springs produced true qi constantly, flowing without end like streams. They could even dispense with food entirely.

Once an Immortal Cultivator reached the Martial Spring Realm, food was, at most, a hobby. Nothing more.
