Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment

Chapter 87 The Falsely Accused Little Cultivator 16

Ji Ci is now truly famous in the Qingyun Sect. People no longer treat him as a useful tool to improve their cultivation, but respect him from the bottom of their hearts. They no longer look down on him as they did before, for being captured by demonic cultivators and forced to work as a servant for half a year, which caused him to develop inner demons.

Some people knew that he had gotten lucky to become Yuewu's disciple. Although Yuewu's reputation wasn't good before, she was still a direct disciple, and the resources under her command were something that ordinary disciples like them couldn't access.

Those who witnessed Ji Ci's performance this time have changed their opinion of him. He remained calm and composed in the face of a stronger opponent, and his flexible response showed that he was not the useless and cowardly good-for-nothing he was rumored to be.

Xiao He, who always targeted Ji Ci, was surprised to see Ji Ci's every move on the stage. He didn't say anything disrespectful, but remained stunned until Ji Ci finished the match. He then left the scene without saying a word.

In short, although the plot has deviated somewhat, the key events are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

The male lead also successfully made his grand entrance.

What followed was the triumphant comeback of the chosen one. Whenever Ji Ci took the stage, the support and denial were evenly split. Those who supported it believed that Ling Shan had made a breakthrough by waving his hand at the immortal sect, while those who denied it believed that cultivation still depended on oneself, and that no matter how powerful Ling Shan was, he could not compare to himself.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, he always manages to turn the tide in critical moments and win the game in unexpected ways.

Besides being amazed by the effects of Ji Ci's spiritual food, the disciples almost left to rely on someone else, not for any particular reason, but simply because it smelled so good.

After special training, Ji Ci can even cook in a large iron wok while dodging attacks. With the help of spiritual fire, he can control the heat at will and is not afraid of burning the pot.

During the days of the competition, Yuewu was arguably the most enthusiastic among them. Even though she didn't participate in the competition, she still showed up every time, just because she was craving Ji Ci's food.

While Ji Ci was competing, she waited below the arena. Once Ji Ci finished cooking, she would plate Yue Wu's food first. Yue Wu would keep one portion for herself, and the rest would be sold on the spot, allowing the curious and hungry disciples to rush to buy them. The spirit stones earned would be split equally between Ji Ci, Xuan Shen, and her. This idea was actually Xuan Shen's. He truly deserved to be called the strategist of Qingyun, as he had many clever ways to make money.

There are always curious disciples. The three of them made a small fortune in this competition, which made the sword cultivator disciples extremely envious. Why didn't they think of such a way to earn spirit stones?

Today, Yuewu handed over the task of selling snacks entirely to Xuanshen. Carrying her own portion, she walked towards the high platform. Such a grand competition required someone to maintain order. The elders were usually very busy with their duties, so a rule was set that each person would sit and guard the platform for one day.

And today happens to be Xuandu.

Yuewu happily approached her master, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, with a beaming smile, carrying a large bowl of fried noodles.

"Master, hehe, would you like to try some together?"

She was furious when she thought of Xuan Du's tragic death in the story. According to the original plot, Xuan Du's death was only a year away.

She felt a pang of heartache. Alas, her beloved master was framed by the despicable Han Ziyan and the demon race. She wished Han Ziyan would die!

She decided that she should still treat her master well, since he would need to contribute a lot in the future battles, and she should eat more to bring him good fortune.

Xuan Du wanted to refuse, but when he saw the little girl in front of him holding the bowl with bright eyes and a very cute expression, he was tempted to stop.

He paused for a moment, then responded gently.

Yuewu happily took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks. These were spiritual artifacts that she had specially commissioned to be made. They were made with the finest spiritual ore, and the emerald green, crystal-clear jade was very beautiful. Magic plates were engraved on the bottom of the bowls and the tops of the chopsticks. Although they looked like ordinary jade porcelain bowls, they were actually quite extraordinary.

The special spiritual ore makes it difficult to break, and with the addition of a special ritual plate, the bowl also has a special function.

It is engraved with a space plate, similar to a storage bag. It looks small but can actually hold a lot, and it also has the function of keeping things warm and fresh.

This way, when someone invites you to dinner, you can take out this bowl and shyly say that you don't eat much, just a small bowl is enough, thus maintaining a polite and ladylike image without running out of food.

At Yuewu's insistence, he also had a flying magic disc carved, which has a built-in tracking function. When he encounters someone cooking something delicious but forgetting to bring a bowl, he can summon it to fly over by itself. It's fun, practical, and highly personalized.

It was just tough on that weapon-crafting disciple. He watched as Yuewu took out top-quality spirit ore and high-grade array stones, and he was so excited that he thought he could make a big splash. He asked Yuewu about her requirements and was determined to make a spirit weapon that would satisfy the customer.

Upon hearing Yuewu's reply, he froze on the spot. Huh? Did he hear wrong?

Afraid of misunderstanding, she asked again, "Junior Sister Qilian, what did you say you wanted to refine? I might have misheard, hehe."

Moon Mist said decisively, "You heard me right. I want to make two sets of bowls and chopsticks that can hold a lot and can fly and follow you. Can you make them?"

Seeing his strange expression, Yuewu became worried. Was this not going to work?

The weapon-crafting disciple shook his head, overwhelmed with mixed feelings. It wasn't that he was stumped; he could make this bowl even with his eyes half-closed. But he was, after all, a third-grade weapon crafter, and yet he was paid a hefty sum just to make a bowl, and then suddenly he pulled out such a precious material.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had fallen behind the development around him because he spent all his time in the weapon-refining room.

However, for the sake of twenty spirit stones, he gave in. It was just two sets of tableware.

Watch him put on a grand show, polishing and shaping, forging and tempering, engraving a constant-temperature magic plate, adding flight formations, positioning and tracking magic plates, and so on. Even if it's just a bowl, he will satisfy his employer.

Xuan Du took the full jade porcelain bowl. It was clear that the bowl was not made of ordinary material. He didn't say anything, but he was thinking that he still had alchemical stones and other materials that he had collected in his storeroom in the early years, which he could give to Yue Wu.

Moon Mist divided the fried noodles, one bowl for Master and one big bowl for her, hehe.

I couldn't wait to take a bite, and exclaimed "Wow!" The stir-fry over high heat gave it a wonderful wok hei (wok aroma). I picked up a spoonful that was still steaming hot. I inhaled the mouthwatering aroma and, without caring that it was hot, I ate it in one bite. Even though it was so hot that I was panting for breath, I didn't spit it out. Mmm, it's so delicious!

Unlike the previous dishes, which were more homely and cozy, the stir-fried noodles are noticeably more rustic and heartwarming, making for a delightful and satisfying meal.

The rice noodles are chewy and smooth, with each strand distinct, refreshing yet not bouncy. They are topped with eggs, cabbage, and shredded carrots, and their bright green and golden-yellow colors are very appealing, making them very appetizing.

Add some of Ji Ci's homemade chili sauce, and it becomes a bright red and glossy color, paired with a generous amount of chopped green onions, creating a striking contrast.

Xuan Du, who had been fasting for many years, was tempted by the smell. He had an indifferent attitude towards food; he would eat if it was available, but would not force himself to eat if it wasn't.

He took a small bite, his eyes lit up, and he realized that the taste was really good, easily ranking among the top three best he had ever eaten.

But he was, after all, a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, and his knowledge far exceeded that of these disciples. As he felt the changes in his body, his indifferent expression softened somewhat. He had heard about the abilities of the disciples his little apprentice had taken in a few days earlier, but he hadn't experienced it firsthand until he, as a spirit chef, had some skills himself.

His early years of training and his desire to fight a great battle five hundred years ago left him with hidden injuries that had not fully healed for a long time. However, since they were not serious, he stopped paying attention to them.

The moment he took his first bite, a warm sensation spread from his limbs to his entire body, as if he were being soaked in hot water, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

He concealed all his emotions, met Yuewu's expectant gaze, and gave a knowing "Not bad, very good."

With a smile in her eyes, she knew that it was no easy feat to receive such praise from her aloof master, and she felt a surge of pride. This achievement was made under her guidance, and she deserved a great deal of credit.

The man had an exceptionally handsome appearance, surrounded by a radiant glow, and possessed an elegant and refined demeanor, setting him apart from others and always making him the most outstanding person in the crowd.

He ate politely, taking each bite slowly, a faint smile playing on his lips. It was unclear whether it was for the bowl of fried noodles or for someone else.

Looking at her beautiful master, Yuewu secretly made up her mind that she must protect her master and not let her fall into the trap of the demon race.

Thinking of Han Ziyan, the demon spy hidden beside her, she was unusually lost in thought while enjoying the delicious food. Why did a perfectly healthy demon have to come all this way to be a spy?

The original owner treated him so well, yet he still framed him, imprisoned him, and tortured him. He was truly shameless, Yuewu thought indignantly.

It's better to deal with him as soon as possible. Fortunately, there's only a year left before the secret realm opens, which is just a blink of an eye for cultivators. She can't slack off, though; she needs to work hard to improve her cultivation, as she still has to protect her master.

Xuan Du noticed the faint gaze that his little apprentice was giving him, and wondered what was going on with that look of sympathy, pity, and a hint of affection in her eyes.

He vaguely sensed Yuewu's concern for him, but he didn't expose it. It was normal for a disciple to care about his master, and he didn't want to embarrass his little disciple.

After finishing his fried noodles, Ji Ci's match was over. He won again without a doubt. His movement skills were more agile and proficient than in the first match, and his fighting methods were more diverse.

He used a variety of methods in quick succession, making it difficult for his disciples to resist. Others also noticed Ji Ci's progress, and besides being shocked by how quickly he had improved, they mostly just watched him in silence.

No, buddy, I'm treating them like monsters to level up.

That's right, Ji Ci's main purpose in participating in this competition was to hone her skills and gain more practical experience.

The disciples who fought against him undoubtedly became his practice stones.

He made the right choice by participating in this competition. He gained fame, tested the efficacy of the dishes, improved himself, and even made a fortune.

It makes people both envious and jealous. ...(* ̄0 ̄)ノ
