Chapter 1749: Indeed, rotten wood cannot be carved

Please see the Fifth Elder.

From this Guo family person, Ye Zhangqing learned that the middle-aged man before him was the Guo family's Fifth Elder.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder spoke softly.

He will be entrusted to you from now on; just follow the clan's rules.

After glancing at Ye Zhangqing, this Guo family person nodded in agreement.

This Guo family person is the one who has been teaching Ye Zhangqing cultivation; he will help Ye Zhangqing break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm as soon as possible.

Of course, whether he ultimately succeeds still depends on Ye Zhangqing himself.

If Ye Zhangqing himself seeks death and goes against orders, there's nothing that can be done.

After giving a few brief instructions, Elder Wu had this Guo family person take Ye Zhangqing out of the hall.

Leaving the hall, the Guo family person walked and said to Ye Zhangqing.

I am Guo Yong; before the Immortal Realm opens, I will wholeheartedly assist your cultivation, and the Guo family will provide all the resources you need for cultivation.

However, how hard you work is your own affair; if you can't even climb a wall, then whoever dies in the Immortal Realm will be yourself.

Junior understands.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing nodded in agreement; seeing this, Guo Yong lightly nodded as well—so far Ye Zhangqing's performance has been acceptable.

There wasn't any obvious resentment; previously some people from the lower realm, after learning these things, although they didn't dare speak openly, their hearts were full of opposition.

Afterward, their attitude toward cultivation was also deliberately lazy.

And such people, in Guo Yong's eyes, are outright idiots.

Without other options, not striving in cultivation to gain a bit more chance to survive, and being angry at the Guo family here—what else could that be but stupidity?

Life is your own; what impact does your cultivation or lack thereof have on the Guo family?

Using one's own life to express dissatisfaction—such childish behavior, isn't it just inviting ridicule?

Ye Zhangqing, however, didn't give that impression; he seems to have figured things out.

Bringing Ye Zhangqing back to the courtyard where he stayed yesterday, Guo Yong directly said.

Before the Immortal Realm opens, this is your residence; as for cultivation, I will take you there when the time comes, and you can also collect resources yourself—the clan has made all arrangements.

Finally, I remind you once more: life is your own; if you don't want to die, you must exert yourself fully to improve, only then do you have more chances to survive.

After giving a few remarks, Guo Yong then took Ye Zhangqing around the Guo family grounds.

He also clearly told Ye Zhangqing about places that are off-limits, warning him not to rashly rush in.

If one ends up dying confused inside, there's no one to blame.

Moreover, Guo Yong also took Ye Zhangqing to various cultivation sites; before the secret realm opens, Ye Zhangqing can come whenever he wishes, without restriction.

Furthermore, cultivation resources can be collected personally from the Guo family's treasury, with a daily quota.

After a brief introduction, the two returned to the small courtyard, and Guo Yong left with a remark.

Cultivate well; if you have any questions, ask me, but ultimately you must rely on yourself.

The Immortal Realm possesses many treasures you lower-realm folks have never seen, which greatly aid cultivation; make good use of these treasures, and they will greatly help your advancement.

Guo Yong naturally cannot watch Ye Zhangqing constantly, as he has always said: life is your own; if you seek death, no one can stop you.

Having said that, seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Guo Yong turned and left.

Only Ye Zhangqing remained; after learning the Guo family's intentions, his heart actually relaxed.

At least knowing what the Guo family wants puts his mind at ease.

As for the danger of the Immortal Realm, does he still have a choice?

First, try this Immortal Realm's immortal pill and immortal fruit.

Just now, when he and Guo Yong went together to the treasury, Ye Zhangqing casually took the first batch of cultivation resources.

Regarding the Immortal Realm's pills and spirit fruits, Ye Zhangqing is still taking them for the first time and doesn't know how effective they are.

It seems he swallowed a pill; according to Guo Yong, this pill is specially intended for Great Emperor cultivators.

The effect is excellent; at least in the lower realm, no pill can compare to it.

As the immortal pill entered his stomach, Ye Zhangqing indeed felt a pure power spreading within his body.

This medicinal effect is indeed far superior to the pills of Zhu Tian Wan Jie; even Emperor-level pills cannot compare.

It truly lives up to the name of immortal pill.

However, after Ye Zhangqing refined one, his eyes showed little delight; instead he shook his head and said.

It's a bit slow.

What Ye Zhangqing means by slow is compared to the system.

He has a system; as long as he has enough Good Review Points, he can directly raise his cultivation without any bottleneck.

And the speed of improvement from this immortal pill certainly cannot match the system.

Compared to refining this immortal pill, it seems cooking a few dishes for it would be faster.

Having activated cheats, naturally there's no interest in cultivating step by step; a cheat-filled life needs no explanation.

So, after trying one immortal pill, Ye Zhangqing's interest has also greatly diminished.

Moreover, with time pressing, the system is definitely the first choice.

Let's figure out how to set up a canteen.

It's still more worthwhile to earn Good Review Points; through the system, Ye Zhangqing is confident he can raise his cultivation to the Emperor Sovereign Realm before the Immortal Realm opens.

The next day, when Guo Yong arrived, Ye Zhangqing told him his idea.

How was yesterday's cultivation? If you have any questions about the cultivation methods I taught, feel free to ask me.

What? You want to set up a kitchen? To provide meals for my Guo family's people? Are you sick?

Originally I was asking about Ye Zhangqing's cultivation progress, whether there were any problems.

But when he heard that Ye Zhangqing actually wanted to set up a kitchen, Guo Yong was stunned.

What the hell, is his brain waterlogged? You're about to enter the Immortal Realm any moment—why aren't you thinking about desperately practicing Xiūliàn instead of messing with these things?

"I know you're a Spirit Chef, but look at the situation—is it good? Now is the time to be doing this."

"Huh??? You say cooking can boost your cultivation?"

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's serious face, Guo Yong was completely bewildered—what nonsense that cooking can boost your cultivation; you think I'm an idiot?

However, just as Guo Yong said yesterday, if you're looking for death yourself, then no one can save you.

And in his view, Ye Zhangqing right now is exactly like that.

Yesterday I still thought this kid was not bad, knew his priorities, and also understood that since some things have no choice, you should exert all your effort to stay alive, not gamble with your life.

But looking at him now, this kid is simply outrageous compared to others.

Damn, he actually wants to cook.

After advising him a few times to no avail, Guo Yong darkened his face and directly said.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved, do as you please; this little courtyard is yours to use, but I remind you, when the Immortal Realm opens, you must enter whether you like it or not."

"As for any thought of escaping, feel free to give it a try."
