Chu Feng: Little Fatty, You're Already a Mature Boy

"The Taotie Physique, this is one of the three Great Dao Taotie Physique!"

Elder Bing's tone was slightly excited. Even though she had seen many grand occasions, she could not hide her excitement upon seeing such a rare physique, which was a sight to behold in a thousand years.

"No wonder Junior Brother can eat so much; he's awakened the Taotie Physique! How enviable!!!"

Cao Youqian's eyes were practically overflowing with envy.

Hearing their praise, Wang Baole chuckled and scratched his head, "Thank you for the compliments, Elder Bing and Second Senior Brother, but I'm not as amazing as you make me out to be."

Elder Bing turned his gaze to Chu Feng, and seeing his calm expression, he remarked, "Chief Chu truly has a discerning eye, able to find such a promising talent among the vast sea of people."

Chu Feng shook his head. "No, there really isn't. Little Fatty was sent to me after being selected from various departments."

???

Elder Bing was filled with question marks and almost blurted out, "Are those people who selected people blind?"

The Taotie Physique is a Dao Body on par with the Longevity Physique and the Chaos Physique. Once cultivated to perfection, it is no different from Immortal Physique.

Although it is very difficult to cultivate these three Dao Bodies to perfection, cultivators who possess these three Dao Bodies can all begin with Nirvana and become a Saint without any pressure, provided they do not die prematurely.

Are those guys getting cocky, or are they seeing things?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Chu Feng recounted the story of how the Little Fatty had come to Dao-Seeking Token a master with the Inquiry Token.

After listening, Bing Yan Elder Bing exclaimed, "I admire Chief Chu's luck."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "It's probably because I love to laugh."

"Oh?"

Elder Bing stared blankly at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Chu Feng explained, "After all, boys who smile a lot are usually lucky."

Elder Bing: "..."

After teasing Elder Bing, Chu Feng turned his attention to Wang Baole.

"Little Fatty."

"Disciple is here."

Wang Baole stepped forward excitedly. He never dreamed that one day he could make his master the envy of others.

He thought to himself: I must cultivate diligently and strive to become a man like my senior brother as soon as possible.

At that time, I will not only bring glory to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, but I will also be able to return to the Wang Clan openly and legitimately and change my surname back!

Chu Feng said unhurriedly, "Little Fatty, you're a mature young man now. You need to learn to be self-reliant. From now on, besides the cultivation resources the academy provides, you'll have to earn the rest yourself."

Wang Baole nodded. "Master, rest assured, I understand the principle that cultivation requires competition. In the future, I will rely on my cooking skills to obtain enough cultivation resources."

"That's not enough."

Chu Feng paused for a moment and said, "If you want to walk the path of a strong person, in addition to excellent cooking skills, practical experience is indispensable."

Each of your three senior brothers and sisters has experienced countless bloody battles.

Now that you've entered the Dao Foundation Realm, it's time to prepare to descend the mountain for training.

Upon hearing the word "experience," Wang Baole showed no fear whatsoever, but asked with a hint of excitement, "Master, do you know of any places with lots of food?"

"The Mist Marsh can fulfill all your requests, but before you descend the mountain to gain experience, you must master a sword technique."

Chu Feng's expression turned serious as he spoke, a look he had never shown in public before.

Wang Baole scratched his head and whispered, "But Master, every sword technique in the inheritance you gave me is too profound and unfathomable. This disciple cannot comprehend it in a short time."

Chu Feng said with a stern face, "You've been practicing Taiji Fist for so long and haven't improved at all!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baole scratched his head awkwardly, looking completely at a loss.

Elder Bing looked on with curiosity, since Taiji Fist and Taiji Sword differ by only one character, but they are both techniques of the same origin and have similarities.

Chu Feng continued, "As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest. Every cultivation method progresses from easy to difficult. A cultivation method may seem very complicated, but its core, once simplified, is based on very common and easy-to-understand principles."

Let me take the Brocade Characters and Hollow Window Saber Technique as an example.

Its founder derived this knife technique from paper cutting, using the method of carving characters to present the technique of picking characters with a knife.

To put it simply, the core of this knife technique is the carving technique used in our cooking.

If you can hone your carving skills to a level of unparalleled mastery, reaching what Brocade Characters and Hollow Window said—being able to carve words on soft surfaces—you will naturally have grasped the essence of this carving technique.

After hearing this, everyone had an expression of sudden realization.

Elder Bing bowed slightly. "Hearing Chief Chu's words is worth ten years of my cultivation."

"Elder Bing, you flatter me. These are principles that everyone knows, but many people are simply unwilling to try them."

After Chu Feng finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Wang Baole.

"Little Fatty, tell me your thoughts and experiences."

Wang Baole said, "What Master said is to help me build a foundation. As long as I can master any one of the techniques of slicing, dicing, chopping, splitting, slapping, or carving, I can then learn more advanced knife skills."

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. Once you've mastered one of your knife skills to perfection, that's the day you can go down the mountain for training."

"Your disciple will remember your teachings."

After Wang Baole finished speaking, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Chu Feng waved his hand. "Alright, everyone go and rest."

"Promise."

After everyone responded, they all left.

Chu Feng returned to his room. Elder Bing watched his departing figure and thought to himself: If only I had been bolder just now, I could have asked Chief Chu for guidance on Taiji Sword.

The next day.

Wang Baole got up early as usual to practice his boxing. Afterward, he went to the kitchen, looked at the pile of ingredients, and pondered which knife skill he should start with.

In the end, he chose carving, mainly because he had enjoyed carving floral designs before and had the basic skills.

However, practicing with food would be too wasteful; I'll use wood first.

He walked to the woodpile, picked out a piece of firewood, and began practicing with a wood-chopping knife. Soon, Wang Baole became completely absorbed in his practice.

Glug, glug.

In less than an hour, Wang Baole felt a surge of hunger.

He stopped what he was doing and muttered to himself, "I feel like I'm getting hungry faster than before. Luckily, I made a lot of dumplings yesterday. I'll eat some first."

After wolfing down his food, Wang Baole felt refreshed and continued carving.

He found that once he was full, his whole demeanor changed; his hands seemed more dexterous than before.

What was once a clumsy machete became no different from an ordinary kitchen knife in his hands, and his control over the knife skills became increasingly proficient.

Is this what cultivation feels like? It's amazing! I, Wang Baole, have fallen in love with cultivation!

Since Wang Baole found joy in cultivation, he has become even more diligent than before, but the food consumption rate of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute has also accelerated.

The food that was supposed to last a month was gone in just seven days.

Looking at the almost empty kitchen, Chu Feng realized that he was still too young and had underestimated the consumption of the Taotie Physique.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Raising a Taotie is really not easy. If this continues, before this kid masters his own swordsmanship, my wallet will be empty first. I need to go and stock up on some more goods."

After saying that, Chu Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, "Daqian, come with me, let's hunt monsters!"
