Aboard the spiritual flagship of the Starfall Mountain sect, Han De was feeling intense delight and intense worry at the sa ti. He was delighted because the stead buns he was eating right now were the best things he had ever eaten, ever. And he was deeply worried, because the person who made these buns was the woman his mother brought him.
The immortal chef with white hair and pink eyes was nad ng Xue. Han Des mother had put her aboard the flagship even before Han De and his disciples. Long Xiu was one step ahead of her son and didnt give him a chance to respond.
I cant believe it, this is just a normal stead bun, how can it taste so good? Yesterdays dishes cant even co close to these simple-looking buns.
Shit, this woman 100% has so siblings or love interests that will ask for revenge down the line.
Han De was afraid to dig deeper into this womans background. It was an affair that involved his mother, which ant that the best-case scenario for his sanity was getting stonewalled by her.
[Stead Bun]
[A Stead Bun made with extrely low-quality spiritual ingredients.]
Yes, yes, you are the best, everything else is the worst. I get it you chuuni demon.
The Systems description was exactly as Han De had expected. He couldnt even roll his eyes at it anymore.
This way, when soone cos for her, I can alleviate so of the problems by pointing towards the good treatnt she received. Mother will also be ecstatic with taking care of her, and will leave the issue alone for the ti being. Two birds with one stone.
Han De took another small bite out of his stead bun. Not because he was minding his table manners, but because he genuinely wanted to savor them for as long as possible. Across the table, his disciples were also doing the sa thing, but for a different reason. All three were eating the buns with exceptionally refined movents.
Yesterday, it was hard for Han De to enjoy the al to the fullest. His three disciples seed to have entered an unspoken contest of table manners. Ning Bi was the youngest, but it seems her parents had drilled court etiquette deep into her soul. Once she saw the effortless elegance of Jin Shu, she beca incredibly graceful as if soone flipped a switch inside her.
At first, Han De thought Yao Qing would be beyond such matters, but he realized how foolish that thought was after a single glance. Next to her, Ning Bi and Jin Shu looked like children playing house. Thankfully, Han De was aiming to beco a Hidden Expert, he could ignore these matters entirely. Despite that, he ended up eating yesterdays red braised at incredibly slowly due to status checking every bite.
Right now, Yao Qing was barely paying attention to the stead buns. Her movents were on autopilot while she was thinking about yesterday's events. She thought she was going insane back then, but after many hours the initial shock wore off. She was still a ss inside, but at least now she was a functioning ss.
How can anyone still have the Divine Phoenix bloodline?! Didnt they say the last Divine Phoenix died along with the primordial era?! Even a speck of its blood would be impossible to hide! And why is that horrifying bloodline called Lifebringer?!
Upon hearing the description of her power, Jin Shu, with the permission of her master, imdiately tried it on the spot. The blade of grass she touched suddenly blood a purple flower with 32 uneven petals and started secreting drops of pink fluid. According to their master, those drops of pink and viscous liquid were mostly made of sugar.
Another blade of grass Jin Shu touched started emitting a chiming sound along with a faint white glow. Their master imdiately sealed the newly created spiritual herb into a box with a strange expression.
If the initial power is this potent, what would happen if she awakens it...
Yao Qing didnt want to think about it. She steered her thoughts to her own bloodline. The Indomitable Tyrant. Its ability allowed her to bend all lightning to her will. When she asked what type of lightning she could control, her master only repeated himself. All Lightning.
She tentatively asked her master again about the aning of All Lightning, but her master looked her right in the eye, and slowly repeated himself. All. Lightning.
None of it makes any sense. Even the awakening requirents don't make any sense. Flas of the previous cycle? A seed of the previous cycle? What could they even be?!
Maybe these things had different nas in the current era, but she couldnt go to the Grand Path Library and do so in-depth research with her current cultivation. She suspected that even if she had her previous cultivation, the librarians would just laugh at her face. She couldnt alert them either.
Her own requirent also had her stumped. She had to absorb a Heavenly Tribulation lightning strike that was beyond her wildest imaginations. She had seen a lot and lived through a lot, her imagination was rather strong compared to others, but her master reiterated before she could even ask for clarification. Far, far beyond your wildest imaginations or dreams. Far beyond anything in written history. Far beyond the pitiful confines of the immortal minds. When she stared blankly, her master chuckled. When you are ready, I will help you.
Yao Qing returned to reality. She looked at her oblivious sisters, she looked at her master who was leisurely eating the simple stead bun with great delight. This was her life now. This was the new normal. Her pride in her previous life was aningless. It was only holding her back in this one. Yao Qing felt her mind instantly beca lighter. She knew that this was the beginning of her new path.
Han De finished the last bite. He wished he could just order a few thousand of these stead buns and store them. So Hidden Experts would excessively drink and beco Drunk Experts. Their alcoholic behavior would beco an integral part of their image. Perhaps Han De could beco a Stead Bun Expert. He could take out a stead bun at random and eat it.
...
Han De decided not to beco a Fat Expert. He didnt have any childhood MC friends, so his survival rate would be way too low if he suddenly beca fat.
A spiritual sense interrupted his thoughts. He accepted the conversation request.
Little De! Look what I found while walking around!
Han De cut off the conversation with Old Peng after hearing his mothers voice. He had a deep impression of Xiao Lan, the lady that kept talking and talking and talking once she was stressed. She had caused him a lot of trouble, but the cultivation idiot had hurt her previously, so he decided that they were fair and square. Hearing and rembering her na was an annoyance to Han De.
Who the hell is Xin Qiang?
While he was thinking that, a stupidly gorgeous woman that was previously behind his mother, took a step to the side and revealed herself. It was impossible to forget this woman that once eyed his disciple. A frown imdiately appeared on Han Des face. He had once specifically threatened her to not get close to Ning Bi.
Damn, did you think those Transcendent freaks were just for show? F#$%! What the hell is wrong with this Blazing Sun family?!
The frown in Han Des face was getting deeper. Xin Qiang averted her gaze by looking down. Long Xiu interrupted before anyone could say anything.
I see you rember her well. Thats good! It seems she had an interesting ti. You should take the ti and listen to her! I arranged so nearby quarters for her to stay. Little ladies, co, lets leave your master and his guests alone!
Long Xiu gestured to Ning Bi and others to follow her with a smile. Han De imdiately interrupted her in panic.
Wait! They will not go anywhere, especially Ning Bi!
His mother looked at Han De and his disciples in confusion. Han De interrupted her once he realized gears had started turning in her head. It wasnt good to let her get carried away in a situation like this.
Seeing Han De look at Xin Qiang with a corner of his eye, his mother thought about it for a while. Then she nodded. Han De suppressed his sigh of relief.
Xin Qiang watched the mother and son co into an agreent. She decided this was the best ti for her and deeply bowed.
Elder Han De, please allow to apologize for my previous behavior. I was foolish, and deserve punishnt. Please accept my humble gifts. I hope the Xin family and the Starfall Mountain sect can continue their partnership.
Upon hearing Xin Qiangs words, Long Xiu stared at her son. Didnt her son once adamantly denied making a deal with the Blazing Sun family? She had asked him over and over again but he refused to admit it! Back then, she had questioned Ning Bi and determined she wasnt a mber of the Blazing Sun family. Was there soone else? Did her son really lie to her?!
Han De could feel the gaze of his mother at his back. Xin Qiang claiming that they had a previous partnership was beyond his expectations. This damn Blazing Sun family was way too troubleso. What kind of person would lie about sothing like that?!
What partnership? As I recall, my only dealing with your family was warning you not to get close to my disciple. A warning that you have spectacularly ignored
Long Xiu's gaze turned odd. Xin Qiang looked at Han De blankly. Wu Fu, the white-haired walking encyclopedia that everyone ignored, had an odd look. After a mont his eyes started shining brightly as he was thinking about the strange turn of events.
So that was the case. This isnt a denial of the previous efforts, Long Xiu wouldnt be surprised otherwise. His disciples reaction is also consistent. Their relationship wasnt just damaged, but they had no relationship at all.
Xin Qiang already knew her objective wouldnt be achieved so easily. She grabbed the scroll case she hid under her robes before she sealed her cultivation.
Elder Han De, these are the locations and the properties of the weak points, before and after the disturbance. The validity of these weak points can be confird by Elder Wu Fu, the chief advisor of the Sun Empire.
She glanced at Wu Fu that was smiling at her and continued by taking out a jade-slip case.
I also acquired a scripture that Im sure you would be very interested in.
Treebeard appeared out of nowhere and prevented Xin Qiang from getting close to Han De. He took the scroll case and the jade-slip case and brought them to his young master.
Han De could barely keep his face from reflecting the imnse joy he was feeling. This was a mont that he has been looking forward to for a long ti! A genuine face slapping opportunity! As soon as his hands touched the jade-slip case, he checked it with the system.

Shit, 39? I was going to look for the standard divination scripture but kept forgetting about it. This is pretty good timing!
The sects standard divination scripture was probably Extrely Weak and probably cost around 1 or 2 points according to his estimates. This was the second most expensive thod he had seen, the first one being the Cosmic Destruction Scripture of Ning Bi.
Han De learned it without hesitation. It wasnt every day he would see a Very Weak thod. Aside from the Blazing Sun Scripture, he hadnt seen a single one in the sect Archives. At this point, Han De would even learn a bottom cleansing scripture if the System deed it Very Weak.

Now, it was face slapping ti. In a mont, he was going to sneer and throw the jade-slip case away and claim that he already knew the thod. Once she denied the possibility, he was going to demonstrate his knowledge by citing the most obscure parts of the scripture in an incredibly dry fashion. It was two birds with one stone!
Xin Qiang spoke with confidence while Han De was calculating the precise timing.
I found this scripture in an ancient tomb. It is a very rare light elent divination scripture.
*Crack*
The jade-slip case in Han Des hands cracked, then it turned to dust, then into nothingness. If he had blinked, he wouldve missed it.
Long Xius aura started leaking. Han De looked up and saw the fury in his mothers eyes. His mothers mind moved in mysterious ways. Just from that one sentence alone, there couldve been dozens of things that mightve pissed her off. Han De went through his ntal checklist to quickly figure out the reason.
There were several hits, but the most likely culprit was divination, which was why he thought his assessnt was wrong. How could it be sothing simple like that?
The cultivation idiot never paid attention to divination, and considered it a parlor trick at best. His mother, father, and even grandfather never cared for it as well. In fact, there was not a single person that practiced divination in the entire Han family. There was even a mory of his father almost killing a master of another sect for trying to divine the cultivation idiots fate. That was the only mory of his father almost losing control. The cultivation idiot never saw or heard of that sect again.
Wait, hold up. This is a bit too much of a coincidence. Sh*t! Why didnt I notice this before?!
