After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Jiang Ning, having enjoyed a free meal, readily took on the task of clearing the dishes. Jiang Nan, standing nearby, also volunteered to help, since it wouldn't be appropriate for the sect's young master to sit idly by while he was doing so.

The two quickly finished cleaning up the dishes. Jiang Ning turned around and saw Ye Lan seemingly pondering his cultivation level. The man was facing a pot of scallions planted by the kitchen chef. Yes, that's right, he was using his wood-type spiritual power on a pot of scallions, even trying to weave them into a small defensive net.

"You must learn to control their shapes with your divine sense."

After Ye Lan failed for the second time, Jiang Ning couldn't help but speak up, "Look like this, think of what you want to control in your divine sense, and then use your spiritual power to control it."

As he spoke, he reached out in front of Ye Lan and wove the scallions into a small, dense defensive net, without damaging the plants' original appearance when he turned them back to their original state.

"Amazing!"

Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that only large and long vines could be used to make defensive nets, but she never expected that Jiang Ning could make them with such small plants.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but find it amusing to see Ye Lan's bright eyes. He didn't mean to mock him; Jiang Ning knew that outer disciples didn't learn as much as inner disciples, and they certainly didn't learn this kind of technique as well. Ye Lan had already done quite well to enter the inner sect on his own. However, no one dislikes being admired, which is why he felt happy and wanted to laugh.

Seeing how much Ye Lan enjoyed cultivation, Jiang Ning offered to provide him with individual cultivation guidance.

He had been saved by Ye Lan last time, and he still hadn't figured out a good way to repay her. He had offered Ye Lan high-grade spirit stones, but Ye Lan refused. Their sect would teach him cultivation techniques, and now that he saw how ambitious Ye Lan was, he finally thought of a way to return the favor.

On the other hand, Ye Lan seemed to be pondering his suggestion.

He refused the spirit stones because he felt that the original owner of the body had saved him, and he would feel guilty accepting them. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist using them all. However, the guidance he received was tempting. With his modern mindset, he could not accept the fact that he had spiritual power, and he was also a little overwhelmed by the new cultivation techniques he learned every day.

With Jiang Ning's guidance, he could cultivate much faster and improve his cultivation level. Then wouldn't he be able to travel everywhere?

Furthermore, if the original owner could travel back in time, these cultivation levels would not disappear, which is also a way to restore the original owner's emotions.

Ye Lan still asked Jiang Ning to give him two days to think it over.

Unfortunately, Ye Lan found out that this was an N-directional cultivation harem novel. Because of his sexual orientation, he usually reads novels where the male lead is the dominant one. Although he hadn't read many chapters, he knew from the synopsis that the male lead would meet many people during his travels later on. They were all very outstanding and beautiful, and they would all fall in love with the male lead, Jiang Ning. As expected, Jiang Ning reached the pinnacle of his life and became an even more awesome being than his father.

Ye Lan hadn't finished reading the book before, so she didn't know where the plot would go next. She only knew that Jiang Ning would go on a journey and start a harem.

In this world, love is free, any relationship can be recognized, and same-sex couples can also become partners.

Ye Lan wasn't afraid of Jiang Ning taking a liking to him or him taking a liking to Jiang Ning. Ye Lan looked similar to his previous self in this world. Although the original owner of this body was more refined than him, there were no ugly cultivators in this spiritually rich cultivation world, so he would be considered ordinary in a crowd.

Based on his previous twenty-three years of life, Ye Lan considers himself a "number one" type. He usually likes very handsome men. Although the male lead is very handsome, his handsomeness is too aggressive. Ye Lan likes soft and cute beauties. However, Ye Lan's personality is relatively introverted, and people in his original world are not very accepting of same-sex relationships, which has led to him never having been in a relationship.

As for why Ye Lan became gay, it's probably because she was abandoned by her parents when she was young, and then she saw the cafeteria lady arguing with the chef uncle like a shrew in the orphanage. She suffered trauma from this when she was young.

I heard that the woman was very beautiful when she was young, and many people even pursued her. She eventually chose a chef who was poor but had a sweet tongue and knew how to flatter people. However, after experiencing the hardships of daily life, she has now become this middle-aged woman.

Thinking of this, Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh. All the love and affection in the world eventually comes down to the mundane and noisy.

He lacked the ability and courage to give a girl a beautiful love and family, and he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't turn from a beautiful young woman into a shrew like an old lady. He was also afraid that he might have the gene for abandoning people, and if she ended up like his parents, that would be a real sin.

Ye Lan was adopted by his master when he was twelve years old. He went to school and learned to cook at the same time. In addition to diligently learning cooking skills, his hobby was reading novels. One day, he accidentally read a BL novel under the guise of cultivation and began to yearn for this kind of love. No children, two people are together regardless of worldly opinions, overcome all difficulties and grow old happily. How wonderful is that?

He was, after all, a romantic.

Ye Lan took two days to consider because she was afraid that Jiang Ning would discover that she was different from people in this world, and she was also afraid that she would feel awkward if Jiang Ning started building his harem. What if she fell for one of his harem members? After all, the harem members in the synopsis were all very beautiful.

During these two days, Ye Lan continued his cultivation as usual, while Jiang Ning and Jiang Nan would look for him every mealtime. Jiang Nan was there to freeload meals, and since that day, he had been paying for the ingredients every day. Jiang Ning, on the other hand, would come to see when he needed guidance.

Of the three, Jiang Ning didn't study the techniques with them together; it was somewhat similar to the advanced and intermediate classes in modern times.

It's not that the sects have different levels, but rather that those who come from the outer sect have to work extra hard in their first year to memorize all the knowledge. Therefore, they need to learn more basic things in their daily training courses so that they won't fall behind when they start training together in the second year.

During actual combat training, everyone would train together, so the two of them would often come to find Ye Lan after training.
