Where should the story begin? According to common sense, the introduction should start with the techniques, the Magic Sects, and the Sorcerers. However, during this period, Xiaopang has already gained a rough understanding through Lin Qingshuang and ng Ya, though the details remain unclear.
So let’s start with the story of ng Ya, sothing Xiaopang is more interested in.
ntioning ng Ya inevitably brings up Peng Xian. Xiaopang is acquainted with Peng Xian but doesn’t know that Boss Peng is a Tier Two Angler of the Xingshen Sect, one of the Seven Great Magic Sects, and it was he who deceived ng Ya.
Peng Xian tricked ng Ya into coming to Qi Yuan to do work for him, with the aim of finding the Hidden Moth. Thus, it’s necessary to introduce what the Hidden Moth is all about.
He Kao couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity because the Hidden Moth back then was none other than Huang Xiaopang himself, and many things were done by Huang Xiaopang himself. Now, He Kao has to recount these stories to him as if he were unaware of it all.
Huang Xiaopang has a rather carefree mindset, or one could say he is quite adaptable. Even if he is internally shocked repeatedly, he doesn’t shout or make a fuss on the spot; instead, he deeply sympathizes with ng Ya’s ordeal.
As it turns out, ng Ya was not the domineering CEO archetype, and taking over Jinxing dia was actually under the guidance of He Kao, with the help of Yao Shaolan.
Lawyer Yao, whom Xiaopang also knows, he had dinner with her and Old Qian. He never thought she would be a Tier Two Broker of the Qi Observation Sect. Even more bizarre is that Qian Guran is her senior brother, already a Tier Four Governnt Official, his cultivation even surpassing that of Lin Qingshuang!
He Kao decided to tell Xiaopang all this because once Xiaopang formally acknowledges Lin Qingshuang as his ntor, sooner or later, he would learn about these events anyway. He might even question why He Kao kept it from him for so long.
He Kao might as well co clean before Xiaopang finds out by himself; now seems like the perfect ti.
Xiaopang said He Kao didn’t understand him, to which He Kao replied that Xiaopang didn’t understand cultivation.
According to He Kao’s analysis, Xiaopang is currently facing the trial of Entry Level. His body has completely recovered, feeling healthier than ever before, but his sensitivity to external stimuli has also been heightened.
Simple abstinence cannot truly resolve the issue; what’s more important is the state of mind, which Xiaopang must handle himself. After saying this, He Kao left a bottle of Elixir for Xiaopang, which is the Essence Nourishing Pill.
This Elixir was also entrusted by Lin Qingshuang to He Kao last year. He Kao took it before entering the cultivation level, but only consud one pill, leaving eleven pills now.
The thod for consuming the Essence Nourishing Pill is to take one pill with at least a seven-day interval before taking the next. Its spiritual effect is to assist with Foundation Establishnt before entering the sect.
During the period of taking the pills, strict abstinence is required... even self-abstinence is not allowed.
With the Elixir handed to Xiaopang and the explanations given, it’s up to Xiaopang to decide when to take it. He Kao only advised adjusting his ntal and physical state before taking it.
According to He Kao, Xiaopang should take the Essence Nourishing Pill whenever he feels ready.
He could see clearly that the spiritual effect of the pills was not the most important thing for Xiaopang. The true mystery lies in the process where Xiaopang feels ready to proceed.
Of course, he couldn’t disclose this to Xiaopang. This is also considered a personalized advancent ritual.
Xiaopang looked at the ceramic bottle in front of him, remaining silent for a long ti. Perhaps the influx of information was too overwhelming, leaving him sowhat unresponsive... finally, he raised his head and said, "Brother, thank you for telling all this, but I still have one question."
He Kao: "What’s your question?"
Xiaopang: "You introduced Elder Lin, ng Ya, Old Qian, and Lawyer Yao, they are all disciples of various Magic Sects. But what about you! Which Magic Sect are you a disciple of? When did you get a ntor, and what is your cultivation level now?"
He Kao coughed a bit and said, "My situation is quite special and sowhat inconvenient to disclose. If you consult Old Qian or Elder Lin, they will explain to you, but this will have to wait until you are officially in the sect."
Xiaopang’s eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice, "Do you have a hidden identity and secret mission?"
Those who often play gas would understand these concepts, and He Kao nodded in response, "That’s more or less how it is. There are things I can’t disclose, but as long as you trust , that’s enough."
Xiaopang lifted a full mug of beer and said, "If I can’t trust you, who else can I trust? I have to thank you. You truly thought of when good things ca your way. Only today did I find out that ng Ya was also introduced by you to co find ...
No need to say more, it’s all in the drink. I toast to you with this glass!" He gulped down the large mug of beer, patted his stomach, and let out two belches.
He Kao asked, "What about taking the Essence Nourishing Pill, next month or next week?"
Xiaopang: "How do I take this Elixir?"
He Kao: "You swallow it normally, and it’ll lt in your mouth... it’s not like you haven’t had Peiyuan Pill before."
Xiaopang: "Will it conflict with drinking?"
He Kao: "It’s not like it’s ceftriaxone, no conflict! But you should also drink less, preferably not at all. The so-called lustful tribulation isn’t just about that kind of desire..."
Before he could finish, Xiaopang opened the ceramic bottle, poured out an Essence Nourishing Pill, and popped it in his mouth, leaning back in the chair, half-closing his eyes as if savoring sothing.
He Kao was dumbfounded and, after a mont of shock, asked, "Was it so reckless... or bold?"
Without even lifting his eyelids, Huang Xiaopang said, "What’s there to hesitate about with sothing this good? If one isn’t enough, aren’t there still ten more? With you watching over , I feel even more at ease.
Eat your hotpot, don’t disturb ... Master Fatty is going to take advantage of the power of the dicine to start cultivating!"
He Kao watched Huang Si, amazed, as he actually took the pill and began cultivating right there in the hotpot restaurant. But then he thought, this seems to be Xiaopang’s way of handling things all along.
Huang Si’s temperant, unlike He Kao’s, is straightforward in all things except perhaps in romance. He doesn’t have too many scruples, unlike He Kao, who pays attention to many little details.
Taking the pill right in front of He Kao was not only a show of absolute trust but actually a good choice because with He Kao present to "protect the cultivation," any issues could be addressed imdiately. It might seem reckless but is actually quite prudent.
Just like Xiaopang said himself, if one doesn’t work, aren’t there still ten more?
More importantly, Xiaopang did not hesitate, nor did he think about going to foot massage parlors for a few more days and then considering the pills after having fun... When would he ever feel ready?
At least in Xiaopang’s eyes, pursuing the entry-level cultivation was much more important than going for a few extra foot massages. Once cultivation bears fruit, wouldn’t everything else feel even more enjoyable, Xiaopang wouldn’t hesitate.
Fortunately, this place was a 24-hour establishnt, so He Kao ordered a few more dishes and sat there quietly eating hotpot, filling Master Fatty’s cultivation Dao Field with the atmosphere of human life.
After nearly another hour passed, Xiaopang finally slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath, curiously surveying the surrounding environnt, mainly the other people in the hotpot restaurant.
He Kao asked, "How is it? Do you feel any different?"
Just as Huang Xiaopang was about to speak, he suddenly sneezed loudly and frowned, "The hotpot sll is too pungent!"
He Kao: "You’ve just broken through the Tier One Cultivation; your senses are heightened beyond that of ordinary people. You need to stabilize and adapt. The environnt here is no longer suitable for you; you need to learn to control your abilities sooner rather than later.
As for how to proceed, I’m not a Sorcerer of the Observing Body Sect. You should consult Elder Lin Qingshuang. You have her contact information, right? Report your breakthrough to her tomorrow.
Make sure not to let slip anything over these next few days, and don’t forget to thank her for her guidance. Most importantly, to request to beco her disciple!"
He Kao felt very emotional; the so-called wondrous opportunities are mystical, and that’s where the wonder lies. Before heading to the foot massage parlor to find Xiaopang tonight, he never imagined he could personally witness Xiaopang becoming a Tier One Diagnoser of the Observing Body Sect.
If He Kao himself were also a Tier One Sorcerer of the Observing Body Sect, he might have had the chance to naturally advance to a Tier Two Acupuncturist.
Because Huang Si’s entry into the sect was due to He Kao’s critical advice at a crucial mont, this demonstrates his keen and accurate observation of Xiaopang’s cultivation state, while also signifying that his cultivation realm has reached a certain level.

PS: Warm congratulations to Huang Xiaopang for entering the cultivation level!
