I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Xiao Jie, hurry and bring out all the delicious food. I want to give Xu Yan a very warm welcome!"

Ming Yu commanded joyfully.

"Yes, Sister Ming!"

Xiao Jie scurried off.

"Xu Yan, come, stay with me here. I will take good care of you!"

Ming Yu led Xu Yan into the loft.

The loft, carved out of beautiful jade, was pleasing to the eye, yet seemed a bit monotonous.

However, Xu Yan didn't mind; he wasn't here to admire the scenery.

Soon after sitting down, Xiao Jie returned with things in hand, placing them on the table one by one.

Xu Yan was stunned.

Was this what Ming Yu considered delicious food?

While the foods differed in appearance, they all seemed to be made of jade, just that they possessed more Spiritual Charm than ordinary jade and some contained special Principles within.

"This is my favorite. Xu Yan, you should try it."

Ming Yu picked up a jade in the shape of a small bird and placed it on Xu Yan's plate, eagerly anticipating Xu Yan's praise of its deliciousness.

"How am I supposed to eat this?"

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

He tossed the Jade Bird into his mouth as if he had eaten it, but in reality, he used the Domain Dao Rule to transfer it into the Prime Tortoise Carapace's minor Domain.

"How does it taste? Is it good?"

Ming Yu asked excitedly.

"This is the first time I've eaten such a unique and special food. It's excellent!"

Xu Yan said with a smile.

"I knew it, you would definitely like it."

Ming Yu was overjoyed.

Xu Yan diverted part of his attention to the minor Domain within the Prime Tortoise Carapace, where the "food" he had eaten was melting, as if being digested.

Ming Yu also began to eat. She picked up a Jade Bird, took a bite, and her eyes squinted in delight, clearly savoring it.

Xu Yan's mouth twitched. After arriving in Yu Ting, he found the place increasingly strange.

Under Ming Yu's hospitable insistence, the "delicacies" on the table were quickly finished. Ming Yu ate with great pleasure, and Xu Yan also pretended to be satisfied, claiming it was the first time in his life that he had eaten such particular and delicious food.

Within the minor Domain of the Prime Tortoise Carapace, the eaten "food" was dissolving, slowly turning into a clump of Spiritual Charm, floating up as if wanting to merge into the Domain's Principles.

Xu Yan didn't let this clump of Spiritual Charm merge into the Principles of the Prime Tortoise Carapace's minor Domain. Instead, he isolated it, analyzing whether this clump of charm would cause an invasive situation if merged into the Domain's Principles.

"This seems to be some sort of Principle, a Principle formed from Spiritual Charm which can make up for certain aspects or enhance others, but the regularity and operational state of this Principle differs greatly from what I've known thus far."

Xu Yan sensed the Spiritual Charm that the "food" had melted into and concluded it was some sort of Principle, but his understanding of its laws was very different.

Whether it was Taicang Martial Arts Principles or those belonging to the Masters of the minor Domains or the Imperishable Temple Principles, this was completely different.

After all, once cultivation reaches this level, even though the refined Principles are different, there are still commonalities, but the Principles of these "foods" were greatly distinct.

It was as if these were not Principles for self-cultivation but a different form of Principles that exist within oneself.

Gradually, Xu Yan released the contained Principles of the Spiritual Charm into the minor Domain of the Prime Tortoise Carapace.

"The Principles of the Prime Tortoise Carapace have been supplemented somewhat; they're just like food, which becomes one's own upon digestion."

Xu Yan was astonished.

Immediately, he allowed the entire clump of Spiritual Charm to merge into the Principles of the Prime Tortoise Carapace, making them marginally closer to Perfection.

The Prime Tortoise had fallen, and although the carapace remained, and its minor Domain didn't collapse, the Principles of the Prime Tortoise had suffered damage. Therefore, the Principles of the Prime Tortoise Carapace were somewhat lacking.

After digesting the "food," however, it could replenish the missing Principles.

After the meal, Ming Yu took Xu Yan for a walk in her yard, introducing him to her little garden, and arranged a place for him to stay.

"Ming Yu, I wonder if I could meet the three elders of Yu Ting?"

After staying a day in Ming Yu's yard, Xu Yan asked.

"The three Masters seem to be away. Once they return, I will ask for you."

Ming Yu shook her head.

"Then, thank you."

Xu Yan felt somewhat disappointed. He was very curious about the three masters of Yu Ting, wondering what kind of beings they were, how strong they really were.

They must be stronger than Taicang from back then if they could make the Unchanging Divine Master take them so seriously.

"Is this type of bamboo grown in Yu Ting?"

Xu Yan inquired, taking out the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo.

One of his reasons for coming was to see if the Master of the Qing Ling Realm was in Yu Ting.

"I'll ask someone where the bamboo grows." Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Ming Yu thought about it and said, "Xiao Jie, take good care of Xu Yan. I'll go and see where the bamboo is."

After instructing Xiao Jie, Ming Yu left to look for the bamboo.

"Brother Xu Yan."

It seemed she was very happy to have a guest in the little courtyard, a new friend.

"Xiao Jie, how about I teach you about Formations?"

Xu Yan proposed after some thought.

"Formation? What is that?"

Xiao Jie asked curiously.

Xu Yan took out an Array Plate and activated the Formation. Flashes of wind and thunder as well as layers of dense fog appeared.
