Chapter 385 Forget about teaching alchemy, come and learn to cook!
Dugu Junli stared at Jiang He for a long time. He had watched the entire academy competition, and it was highly likely that the child's decision was irreversible.
Hearing Jiang He's firm words, Dugu Junli began to hesitate. He had never joined a sect and had always struggled on his own to get to where he was now. It was precisely because he had no sect that he had made many enemies while training outside. Back when he was cultivating, everyone could step on him.
Dugu Junli, in a fit of anger, gradually increased his cultivation and beat up all those who had looked down on him, and killed all those who had tried to kill him. When he was young, he didn't understand human relationships and never thought about having children or relatives, let alone taking on disciples. Therefore, Dugu Junli was ruthless and never hesitated to strike.
He had offended many people, many of whom had died. Most of his later enemies were their disciples, none of whom could defeat him. Therefore, Dugu Junli believed that as long as he was strong enough, none of that mattered.
And now...
Dugu Junli fell silent, a rare occurrence. His taking Jiang He in meant that Jiang He would have to face the disciples of his enemies, whose individual cultivation levels were far higher than Jiang He's. Relying on his age, they might do something shameless.
Jiang He was quick-witted. She stared intently at Dugu Junli, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Master? You've changed your mind?"
Jiang He's tone was flat, but the words she spoke were anything but:
"Or are you scared? Don't you believe me?"
Jiang He only blamed herself for a momentary lapse in judgment when she filled out the wrong college application, but she had no regrets after entering Wanjue Academy.
Cultivation is a long and solitary process, and the resources of the Myriad Absolutes Academy are enough to allow her to quickly advance to the next stage.
Perhaps Jiang He's words spurred Dugu Junli on, because he immediately agreed.
Normally, Dugu Junli is fearless, and his disciple is right, there's nothing to be afraid of.
His enemies had disciples, and now he had one too. Dugu Junli was confident that, given Jiang He's cultivation speed, she would advance rapidly without his guidance.
The two of them performed the apprenticeship ceremony in a harmonious and pleasant manner.
There is no such thing as a master being allowed to take on only one disciple, nor is there a rule that a disciple can only have one master.
Jiang He received the apprenticeship gift from Dugu Junli, her eyes shining.
Dugu Junli: "I obtained this staff by chance from a blessed land secret realm. I heard it is a spiritual artifact that can form a contract. However, I have never seen the artifact spirit of this staff in all these years. You can study it later."
All types of magic staffs include the basic five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as special elements such as lightning, ice, wind, and poison, and are suitable for the nine spiritual roots.
Heaven and earth, yin and yang, are divided into the five elements.
The cycle of heaven and earth is based on earth, which remains steadfast and unmoving.
The mountains on the ground produce gold, and the gold summons thunder from the sky;
Thunder brings rain and water, and water freezes into ice.
After the snow and ice fall, trees grow; the shape of the wood is said to symbolize growth and development, while rotten wood, once fallen, becomes poisonous.
Poisonous decay ignites all things, and the fire rises upward, fueled by the wind.
The wind stirs the clouds and dust, and the soil, over thousands of years, forms mountains.
Thus, earth gives rise to metal, metal gives rise to thunder, thunder gives rise to water, water gives rise to ice, ice gives rise to wood, wood gives rise to poison, poison gives rise to fire, fire gives rise to wind, and wind gives rise to earth.
The nine elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and poison cycle together.
Currently, Jiang He's ninth spiritual root is still unknown.
The eight spiritual roots are a good match for this staff.
After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Dugu Junli finally remembered what he had come for. Now that Jiang He was one of his own, Dugu Junli showed no hesitation.
"Danxiu Academy is still short of one teacher. If you are interested, I will register you now and you will be available next semester."
"Danxiu Academy?"
"The younger generation surpasses the older generation, and each wave is more powerful than the last. He's already an advanced alchemist at eighteen. No wonder he's master and disciple with Bei Mingzi."
Upon hearing this, Jiang He scratched her head awkwardly. She had passed the seventh level of the Alchemy Tower not by using high-grade pills, but by using spiritual food. It couldn't be considered cheating, but compared to a proper alchemist, Jiang He lacked confidence. After thinking for a moment, she decided to refuse.
Jiang He felt that she was not yet qualified to be a teacher.
"Our Wanjue teachers' annual salary is a bit low, only 100,000 spirit stones, but now that the money has been approved, I'll ask the finance department to raise salaries. Don't worry about the money; I can go out and work to supplement your income..."
Upon hearing the mention of tens of thousands of spirit stones, Jiang He's radar went off like crazy:
"Master, when do I go through the onboarding process, and where will I be onboarding?"
"There's no rush. The documents should be approved next semester. You can start working with Qi Xun today."
Dugu Junli said he wasn't in a hurry, but seeing Jiang He's straightforwardness, he was secretly overjoyed. The advanced alchemist was his disciple, and on the very first day, she was already sharing his burdens so well. Who wouldn't say that this disciple was well-behaved?
If he didn't have hundreds of times more enemies than Bei Mingzi, Dugu Junli would have been showing off long ago.
After hearing this, Jiang He acted with full force, followed Qi Xun out the door, turned right, and completed the onboarding procedures in one minute.
Regardless of whether she was a teacher or not, Jiang He was willing to abandon her fine virtues in front of the spirit stone.
Being a teacher is not important at all. What's important is that once she joins the company, plus the StarNet benefits, she gets double the seven insurances and two funds, and the extra money she pays can be refunded to her account.
As her thoughts returned to their source, Jiang He passed through the central square.
Compared to money, her future seemed shrouded in mist.
If I were to die after five years of life, I would really want to leave something behind.
Jiang He is emotionally detached. She hasn't been in this world for long, but when she calms down, the images of many people always float into her mind.
Jiang He had seen the spiritual plants in Bei Mingzi's hands.
Snow lotus—a life-extending substance.
She can't even protect herself now, so how can she protect others?
Being powerless and all alone is excellent.
But if she were to stand atop that high mountain...
He gained power and influence.
Jiang He frowned, not wanting to be someone else's pawn; only by becoming the player could she have the right to make a decision.
The Xiaoyao Sect has fallen on hard times, and rebuilding it requires both wealth and power.
From the very beginning, she transformed into mahogany and began planning.
Money and reputation points, whether it's the initial journey to the secret realm or the later regular updates in the StarNet shop.
Jiang He didn't know which loyal cultivators had joined the shop since the prices of the spiritual food hadn't been raised, but he was certain that these people would always be a stable source of customers.
Even a commoner can become a true talent, though there are still some minor flaws. The restaurant where Jiang He staked his sword cultivation career earned him a lot of reputation points.
Right now, Jiang He has a more stable way to accumulate reputation points.
To be a teacher.
In this way, they can cultivate their own power.
Jiang He does not easily accept apprentices, but she can pass on what she has learned to others.
The monopoly of resources in the cultivation world has long existed.
Jiang He didn't want to go along with the corrupt practices; on the contrary, creating an opening was the best solution.
Teaching alchemy...
China boasts countless delicacies, with its eight major cuisines boasting a long history and world-renowned status. These traditions deserve to be passed down; otherwise, it would be a great pity if these treasures were buried when the Chinese culinary tradition ends.
