God of Cuisine Reborn: I Became Invincible by Cooking

Chapter 38 – He Lu

The casting and learning of spells require spiritual power as a foundation.

So, although higher-level spells are more powerful, with Ye Changqing's current cultivation level at the Qi Perception Realm, even if he were given high-level spells, he wouldn't be able to learn them, let alone cast them.

Learning lower-level spells first is not only more practical but also helps lay a solid foundation.

Ye Changqing nodded in agreement, understanding the logic. He knew he had to start with basic spells, and the Yellow Rank spells Hongzun mentioned were already considered high-level for him at this stage.

The ranks of spells, from low to high, are Basic, Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven, with each rank further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.

This time, Ye Changqing planned to practice basic spells.

"Good that you understand, kid."

After giving him the token, Hongzun left. Although Lu Youyou and Liu Shuang expressed their desire to accompany Ye Changqing, he declined.

Choosing a few spells wasn't a big deal; he could handle it alone.

After breakfast, Ye Changqing rode Xiao Bai to the main peak.

The main peak was vast, larger than the other Thirty-Six Peaks, but it had no disciples. Instead, all the power institutions of the Dao Yi Sect were established there.

For example, the Enforcement Hall, Mission Hall, Spell Hall, Pill Hall, Divine Weapon Hall, and so on.

Each hall had a chief elder in charge, whose status was equivalent to a Peak Master.

Because of this, although the main peak had no disciples, it was bustling every day.

Many disciples came to take on tasks, learn spells, and exchange pills, all heading to the main peak.

Along the way, because he was riding Xiao Bai, Ye Changqing attracted a lot of attention from the disciples.

"Wow, who is that? Riding an Immortal Crane?"

"Look closely, that's a Red-Crested Immortal Crane."

Xiao Bai was indeed too eye-catching, and Ye Changqing felt embarrassed from all the stares as he made his way to the Spell Hall.

Outside the Spell Hall, there were stewards guarding it. Generally, disciples needed to exchange sect points to learn spells.

However, with Hongzun's token, Ye Changqing didn't need to do that.

"A disciple from Divine Sword Peak?"

The steward was surprised when he saw the token Ye Changqing handed over. This kid's identity wasn't simple, but why was he wearing the clothes of a menial disciple?

And...

"Isn't he the one who was riding the Red-Crested Immortal Crane just now?"

"Yes, that's him. But why is he wearing a menial disciple's clothes?"

"I get it."

"What do you get?"

"This is called 'playing the pig to eat the tiger.' There's a saying in the mundane world that means someone with a powerful background pretends to be ordinary."

"Is there such a saying?"

"Of course, I just came back from Yan Feng Country. People from big families love to play this way."

"I see."

The surrounding disciples wildly speculated, unable to imagine how a menial disciple could own a Red-Crested Immortal Crane, so they all concluded that Ye Changqing's identity must be extraordinary.

Listening to the discussions around him, Ye Changqing's mouth twitched. Damn it, the more they talked, the more ridiculous it got, even the steward's gaze had changed.

"With a Peak Master's token, you can freely enter and exit the Spell Hall, but remember, spells cannot be privately transmitted."

"Understood."

"Go on in."

Successfully entering the Spell Hall, Ye Changqing found it divided into six floors. The first floor housed basic spells, the second floor Yellow Rank spells, the third floor Profound Rank spells, and so on.

As for the sixth floor, it stored spells beyond the Heaven Rank, representing the foundation of the Dao Yi Sect, and even with a Peak Master's token, entry was not allowed.

However, Ye Changqing didn't plan to go higher; his goal was to select a few basic spells.

The first floor was the largest and had the most spells, with rows of neatly arranged bookshelves holding tens of thousands of spells.

He planned to choose one offensive spell, one agility spell, and one defensive spell.

After some selection, Ye Changqing finally settled on Shadow Blade, Seven Star Steps, and Spirit Wall.

For the offensive spell, Ye Changqing chose a blade technique, as being a chef, he was already skilled with knives—a kitchen knife is still a knife.

As for Seven Star Steps, it was an agility spell for short-range movement, extremely useful in combat. For traveling, he had Xiao Bai, so he didn't lack that kind of agility.

The Spirit Wall defensive spell was somewhat special, divided into five levels. If cultivated to the fifth level, its rank would reach the upper grade of Heaven Rank, extremely powerful.

However, it was very difficult to cultivate, and the Dao Yi Sect had split it into five parts, corresponding to different ranks.

Due to its difficulty, not many disciples in the Dao Yi Sect practiced Spirit Wall.

But for Ye Changqing, this was not a concern at all. With the system, there was no such thing as difficulty.

After selecting the techniques, Ye Changqing registered with the steward and received copies, but he had to return them within a month.

In the following days, Ye Changqing's life became extremely regular. Apart from three meals a day, all he did was cultivate.

With the system's help, Ye Changqing's progress was terrifyingly fast.

After lunch, with nothing to do, Ye Changqing lay in the courtyard, looking at his personal panel. His cultivation level was just a bit away from breaking through to the Meridian Surge Realm.

The Mind-Illumination Technique was perfected, and both Shadow Blade and Seven Star Steps were mastered. The only challenging one was Spirit Wall, which was indeed much harder to cultivate than Shadow Blade and Seven Star Steps, but with the system, it wasn't a problem.

Ye Changqing was very satisfied with his current life, living peacefully without any danger, and having an abundance of cultivation resources was just perfect.

Just as Ye Changqing was content with his situation, a beautiful figure walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Sorry, meal time is over."

Sensing someone approaching, Ye Changqing spoke without looking up, but the next second, a female voice responded.

"Ye Changqing, it's been over a year since we last met, and you've become even more useless, which only strengthens my resolve."

Hearing this, Ye Changqing looked up in confusion, seeing a pretty young girl with a disdainful expression, clearly showing her contempt for him.

Seeing the girl, a person flashed in Ye Changqing's mind, and he blurted out.

"He Lu?"

He knew this girl, and in some ways, they were quite familiar. After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and they had a marriage contract since childhood, making her his fiancée.

He cursed inwardly, wondering how he had forgotten about this. If he hadn't seen her in person, Ye Changqing wouldn't have remembered he knew such a person.
