Chapter 1992: Thoughts on Training

On the arena, the Heavenly Family ancestor seized Tianlin's ear, his face twisted with fury, spittle flying as he shouted angrily.

"You little brat, speaking without thinking, don't just keep babbling all day..."

I didn't say anything.

I heard it all, you haven't said anything yet?

Could such words even be spoken? When he initially agreed to join forces with Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family ancestor never intended to kill Zuo Xing and his son.

Everyone in the Immortal Realm knows how deeply Zuo Xing dotes on his son.

If today Zuo Jue were killed here, no one knows what Zuo Xing would do after losing his son.

A being at the same realm as oneself, alone and without any worries, poses a threat beyond imagination.

Who would foolishly provoke such a great emperor for no reason and bring trouble to the family?

But can such words be said openly? Does the Cooking King Immortal City not care about face?

Although everyone knows it in their hearts, some things simply cannot be spoken outright, yet this family idiot has not the slightest clue.

After being thoroughly disciplined by his own ancestor, Tianlin finally looked aggrieved; meanwhile, Huang Lao returned to Ye Zhangqing's side, smiling as he asked.

Unsatisfied?

"Not really unsatisfied; there will be plenty of opportunities. One day, as long as you can hold back his father, I can kill him."

"And that day won't be far off."

Ye Zhangqing said with a gleam in his eyes; hearing this, Huang Lao looked at him with satisfaction—this was the reaction he had imagined Ye Zhangqing should have.

"If this attempt fails, there will be a next time. If one can kill him once, one can kill him twice; without that confidence, one is not worthy to guard his Dao."

After a commotion from Tianlin and his grandfather, Bai Yuan and the other two appeared at the right moment.

Naturally, they first thanked the Heavenly Family ancestor and Tianlin; of course, everyone knows how sincere those words are—just enough to save face.

The Heavenly Family ancestor responded with a smile and a nod, as if nothing had happened.

Afterward, nobody lingered long; they soon dispersed, though they all returned to Ye Zhangqing's cave dwelling.

Tianlin had originally come to find Ye Zhangqing; the Heavenly Family ancestor surely followed him, and Bai Yuan's trio also tagged along.

No matter what, Tianlin did help this time.

Although they failed to kill Zuo Jue, Ye Zhangqing kept his word and still brought back his head.

"Here, take it as a ball to kick."

"Senior brother, did you really kill Zuo Jue?"

On the bed, watching Ye Zhangqing toss a head over, Wu Zhong asked with a look of horror.

This really is Zuo Jue's head.

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing replied truthfully.

"No, I only destroyed his physical body; his soul was preserved—he's lucky."

Even so, Wu Zhong remained shocked—how ruthless this senior brother is! Zuo Xing would surely go mad.

After a few words of reassurance, telling Wu Zhong not to worry, for even if something happened, only the city lord, Huang Lao and the others would bear it—nothing would fall on Wu Zhong's head.

Let Wu Zhong rest and heal; meanwhile, Bai Yuan personally acted to remove the lingering spiritual power and legal force from Wu Zhong's severed limbs.

Not long after, the severed limbs regrew, though his body remained weak, his vital energy damaged, needing time to recuperate.

But this is no big deal.

That evening, a feast was inevitable; Tianlin and the Heavenly Family ancestor tasted Ye Zhangqing's cooking for the first time.

Their reaction was naturally one of utter astonishment; even the Heavenly Family ancestor spoke with a look of surprise.

"You wouldn't value this kid so highly just because of that, would you, Cooking King Immortal City?"

"Get lost."

Huang Lao swore without giving any face; Ye Zhangqing's culinary skill is indeed astonishing, but it's far from being his only talent.

After all, young monsters are not judged by cooking; ultimately, it's their combat power that matters.

The Heavenly Family ancestor's remark was also a joke, but he absolutely approves of Ye Zhangqing's cooking.

Meanwhile, he secretly sighed, thinking this youth's potential is limitless.

After the meal, everyone felt thoroughly satisfied, especially Tianlin, who still seemed unsatisfied, and he said to Ye Zhangqing beside him.

"If you have this skill, why didn't you say so earlier? Had we known at the Ancient Dragon battlefield, we would have eaten it first."

Bai Yuan and his group left first; Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family ancestor also went somewhere unknown; Tianlin stayed in the cave dwelling, leaving only the two of them in the courtyard.

Hearing Tianlin's words, Ye Zhangqing replied absentmindedly.

"There will be plenty of chances; are you afraid you won't get to eat?"

"That's true."

"What are you thinking about? You look absentminded."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing not respond, Tianlin casually asked.

"I want to go out for some training; my cultivation is still too low."

It was just a casual question, but Ye Zhangqing's answer stunned Tianlin—he never expected him to have such an idea.

However, regarding cultivation, he agrees.

Ye Zhangqing's combat ability is fine—he's not weaker than the three of them—but his cultivation is really too low.

What Tianlin doesn't know is that the training Ye Zhangqing spoke of is not what he imagined.

He simply wants to go out to cook.

As for why not stay in the Cooking King Immortal City, it's simple: he fears exposing the system's existence.

According to Ye Zhangqing's plan, over the next period he will frantically raise his cultivation and gather good reviews.

Such a breakthrough speed would be exaggerated; if continued long-term, staying in the Cooking King Immortal City would inevitably lead to discovery.

After all, Ye Zhangqing does not Xiūliàn, ah.

Tianlin didn't know these; he just asked curiously.

"The Cooking King Immortal City's Xiūliàn resources for you aren't enough? No need, your combat strength isn't bad either; as long as you have sufficient Xiūliàn resources, it's the same wherever you are."

Tianlin himself grew up this way too; after all, their talent is right here; as long as there are sufficient Xiūliàn resources, they can quickly improve.

As for training, it's more about temperament, combat experience, and willpower.

Its relation to cultivation realm is not substantial.

So Tianlin doesn't understand why Ye Zhangqing suddenly thought of going out for training.

But regarding this, Ye Zhangqing merely said mysteriously.

"Because only between life and death can there be great opportunity, ah."

Huh???

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's mysterious appearance, Tianlin was stunned; these words sounded quite reasonable, ah.

Only between life and death can there be great opportunity.

He silently murmured it, and his heart was instantly moved by these words.

However, Ye Zhangqing ignored him; this time for training, Ye Zhangqing plans to go alone.

After all, it's precisely to avoid exposing the system; if he brought others, it would be meaningless.

Even Huang Lao, Ye Zhangqing doesn't plan to bring; just Bai Yuan and the others would definitely not agree.

After all, to the Cooking King Immortal City, Ye Zhangqing is now the treasure among treasures; there absolutely cannot be any mishap.
