Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment

Yuewu looked at Jici and asked for his opinion. Jici pondered for a moment and then agreed. Even if he had resolved his inner conflict and planned to become a spirit chef again, he would no longer entrust his life to others. He wanted to firmly grasp his own destiny, and practicing swordsmanship was also of utmost importance.

"Disciple Ji Ci will certainly not fail his master's orders," he said, standing with his hands raised and bowing to her, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

Han Ziyan noticed his change but didn't care. Why should a Foundation Establishment Level 6 disciple like him be afraid of a disciple who hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment? Ji Ci didn't even have the chance to compete with him on the same stage.

Moreover, his true cultivation level is much higher than that; he's determined to secure a spot in the Sword Tomb.

Then Han Ziyan went to the school to cultivate as usual, and occasionally went to the bounty platform to take on missions. He got along well with the senior brothers and sisters in the sect and learned a lot of little secrets from them. Although most of them were gossip, he still got an important piece of information.

"Senior Brother Wang, is there really a breach on the West Mountain side?"

Wang Chun gave a cautious shushing, signaling him to be careful. He then leaned closer and whispered, "I'm only telling you this because I consider you a friend. Don't tell anyone else, or we'll all be in trouble if the elders find out."

Only after Han Ziyan repeatedly assured him did he continue, "The area over West Mountain is where the miscellaneous disciples live, and few people usually pay attention to it. Newly initiated disciples are required to cultivate within the sect and are not allowed to leave the mountain. However, there was one disciple who couldn't forget his past life. When he was in the mortal realm, he learned the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, found a direction, secretly dug a hole, and crawled out. Surprisingly, it worked without triggering the formation. Although this disciple didn't make any progress later because he was attached to his past life, he eventually left the sect."

Wang Chun chuckled, "But this cave is a real bargain for us. Usually, the elders are too strict with us, so we brothers sneak down the mountain for a stroll and have a great time, haha."

As he spoke, Wang Chun enthusiastically pulled his newly made brother to show him their secret exit. Han Ziyan pretended to decline for a while, but since they were brothers, they all followed. Once he knew about this cave entrance, it would be easier for the demon army to infiltrate. He figured it wouldn't be long before the demons conquered human territory.

Those high and mighty immortals could never have imagined that their smooth progress would be due to a small opening revealed by Qingkong, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

He couldn't help but smile broadly when he thought about the future.

He followed Wang Chun all the way, secretly taking notes as he went. He noticed that the area around the Great Palace was becoming increasingly desolate and rarely noticed by anyone. He was even more satisfied, as this would allow him to take advantage of the situation and catch them off guard.

When he saw the outer perimeter of the sect, with wild bushes growing all around the corners, he felt something was off and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

Where is the entrance to this hole?

Wang Chun promptly dispelled her doubts, stepped forward, pried open the concealing bushes to reveal the hidden entrance, and looked back at Han Ziyan, as if to say, "Right, brother, I wasn't bragging."

Han Ziyan froze, unsure of what to say in front of the small hole. Wasn't this a dog hole?

He quickly suppressed his emotions. It's alright. Even a dog hole will do. The demon army can still squeeze in if they push their way through.

The main advantage is that entering from here won't trigger any formations, and the location is secluded and easy to avoid detection.

It's okay if it's a little small, it won't affect anything, and I'm also glad that it wasn't him who climbed through the dog hole.

Thinking that next year will be the once-in-a-decade Qionghuang Secret Realm, I made up my mind that I still need to find a way to continue the plan I have set.

After Wang Chun finished his demonstration, he happily buried the cave entrance again and began to talk non-stop, explaining the origin of the cave entrance, his thoughts on the sect's grand competition, and the impact of cultivation on the world. He almost shed tears when he got to the point of being emotional.

Han Ziyan casually agreed, while secretly thinking that he would take advantage of a mission in a few days to secretly pass the message to the demon race.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and the grass behind them rustled. Then, a white, fluffy head popped out. Looking at the small hole in the corner of the wall, the white tiger rolled its eyes. It thought it could catch the two sneaking around, but it didn't expect to only find a hole that it had dug when it went down the mountain to hunt for food.

This is so disappointing for Tiger!

But the clever little tiger wouldn't give up; it firmly believed that there must be something wrong with the person who had this strange feeling about them.

Compared to Han Ziyan's carefree attitude, Ji Ci worked very hard. After being enlightened by Yue Wu, he entered a meditative state that very day.

The blockages that had been accumulating in my meridians for years were released, my state of mind improved, and my stagnant state of mind began to loosen.

Instead of being overjoyed, he patiently focused on comprehending the essence of Qi. After seven days and seven nights, he successfully reached the peak of Qi Refining. He was just one breakthrough away from entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He didn't just blindly cultivate; he also decided to pick up the spirit kitchen again and continue to study it.

Yuewu sat to one side, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen. She took a deep breath and finally understood why someone would become possessed and kidnap Ji Ci to cook. His cooking was truly delicious.

It can be said to have a good color, aroma and taste.

The unique aroma of chives becomes fragrant after cooking, and the addition of a light egg mixture further balances the original strong flavor of the chives.

Yuewu eagerly awaited Ji Ci to bring the food to her, her mouth watering uncontrollably. Since arriving in this world, she hadn't had much good food. Their cultivation emphasized abandoning all distracting thoughts, and few cultivators cared much about their appetites. Although Qingyun had a kitchen, it was for newly initiated disciples who hadn't yet practiced fasting. It was just to prevent them from starving to death in the sect, so the food wasn't very good; the main goal was simply to make it edible.

Ji Ci was just trying it out today, trying to find the feeling of cooking before. The dishes she made were simple home-style dishes, but these were not ordinary dishes. They were specially processed spiritual dishes. Although they had little spiritual energy, they still had the effect of nourishing spiritual energy.

His main focus now is on cultivation and dietary supplements. Even if he can't become a top newcomer like Han Ziyan, he will still be one of the best.

Moon Mist, already drooling with desire, couldn't think that far ahead. Her mind was focused on the food in front of her. Slurping, she savored the Eight Treasure Duck. It was delicious, with tender meat and a slightly chewy skin that added to the richness of the flavor. The glutinous rice at the bottom, mixed with other ingredients, was coated with the oil that seeped out of the duck while steaming, making it fragrant, sweet, and infused with the aroma of duck. It was incredibly delicious.

It seems she underestimated Ji Ci; he's clearly a culinary genius descended to earth.

The dish "Ants Climbing a Tree" is served piping hot. The vermicelli is short and thin but elastic. Compared to the previous version, Ji Ci added a small amount of chili peppers to make the dish more vibrant in color. A layer of bright green scallions sprinkled on top makes the dish look like a painting.

Delicious and fragrant, soft and tender, it is the most appetizing of these dishes. The spicy flavor makes Yuewu nostalgic. She thinks of the days when she ate spicy strips in the small world. Ah, how nostalgic.

Perhaps I could mention it to Ji Ci; you could ask 66 for the recipe. At that point, you wouldn't care about the points, since she's nurturing the greatest chef of our time.
