Gu Qing Shan looked seriously at the War God UI.

He was really curious about what kind of Secret Art would Shifu herself consider to be decent.

The lines of glowing text began to appear.

[Secret Art: Life Seeker, your attacks can reach the enemy when they are within 10 feet of you]

[Notice: This Secret Art can only be activated within a 10-feet range of an enemy]

[Notice: This Secret Art can be used together with other Secret Arts]

[In 10 feet, I seek out your life and extinguish it]

[To practice this Secret Art, you need 2000 Soul Points]

Gu Qing Shan almost forgot to breathe.

Flying swords are a thing, but if flying swords couldn’t end the battle, it would fall to the hands of the sword cultivator personally using his swords in close combat.

Against a sword cultivator, no matter what profession they were facing, the thing to fear the most had and always will be entering the sword cultivator’s close combat range.

And this Secret Art, [Life Seeker] extended that range to 10 feet.

——-while they were still 10 feet away, a sword cultivator’s attack could directly hit the enemy as if they were closeby.

It can easily catch an enemy off-guard and kill them in the blink of an eye.

Taking your life from 10 feet away.

“No wonder this Secret Art is called [Life Seeker]”

“It can be performed with other Secret Arts, which means I will be able to perform [Swallow Returns] from 10 feet away…”

“No wonder even Shifu felt impressed by this Secret Art…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He closed his eyes and spent the 2000 Soul Points without hesitation to learn [Life Seeker].

A warm flow came from the jade tag into his arm, flowing up to his body and into his Thought Sea, turning into countless deep understanding of the sword technique and imprinting them deeply into Gu Qing Shan’s body.

A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes.

He casually took the Chao Yin sword in hand and looked at the wall not too far from where he stood.

After some consideration, Gu Qing Shan lightly swung it.

Khiii——

A loud screech came from the wall.

As if something sharp had just scraped against it.

Gu Qing Shan stood up, leapt and turned into a blurred shadow as he swung his sword across the entire hall.

He wasn’t close to the wall at any point, but whenever he swung his sword, a new mark would be left there.

A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan put his sword away.

“Hah, learning this one Secret Art easily triumphs over learning dozen several others” he silently sighed.

Gu Qing Shan returned to his cushion and sat back down.

He glanced at the War God UI.

After learning the Blade, Bow, Sword techniques in a row, he had used quite a bit of Soul Points, so only about 70,000 remained.

There’s still enough Soul Points.

So Gu Qing Shan took out a few more jade tags to select a few spells that suited him.

The art of spells included using spirit energy directly as well as manipulating formations as a medium, in total consisting of the Elements: Metal-Wood-Water-Fire-Earth, Wind-Lightning-Light-Dark-Sound.

Gu Qing Shan was originally a Lightning-element cultivator, but now he can bypass the limit of sword techniques and directly practice Lightning-elemental spells.

——-of course, even if he had a lot of Soul Points, it wasn’t a good idea to waste it and learn everything.

Gu Qing Shan himself didn’t want to focus much on the art of spells either, partly because he wasn’t interested in them.

He only needed a few spells that stood out to prepare for any situation.

He spent a bit of time learning the spells.

Which was followed by a few martial arts.

To increase the power of his Divine Skill [Skyfall], he needed to become a Martial Arts expert up to a certain level.

The increase of his Martial Arts expertise would also increase a cultivator’s constitution, which was beneficial for sword cultivators.

When his Martial Art expertise reached a certain level, Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards another Divine Skill.

Martial Secret Art, [Unbreakable Mountain Range]!

…

The night slowly faded.

Dawn arrived.

Gu Qing Shan was squatting by the stream behind the mountain as he washed a large metal pot.

He needed to prepare the sect’s breakfast for today.

After preparing the kitchen utensils, Gu Qing Shan began to think about what he would make today.

Shifu said that she didn’t need to eat, but if I gave her a bowl of spirit herb-infused porridge, she wouldn’t turn it down.

The white goose said it wanted to eat some spicy noodles this morning.

Hm… yup, not contradictory at all.

Xiuxiu shouldn’t eat too much for breakfast, so a Dragon’s Tear Flower salad, as well as a cup of spirit tea that improves the soul vessel, will do.

Qing Rou and Wan Er didn’t want anything in particular, so porridge or noodles the same as Shifu will be fine.

Xiao Lou——–

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a flame talisman came by.

He received and infused it with spirit energy.

Xie Dao Ling’s voice came from the talisman: “Make a few more delicious dishes today, we are having two guests”

We are having guests?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

Shifu was a prideful person, so if she sent a communication talisman specifically to tell him to ‘make a few more delicious dishes’, Gu Qing Shan would have to try his best.

And so, he made a total of 16 side dishes; cooked a large pot of spirit porridge; made some hand-stretched noodles; simmered a pot of prepared herbs and bone broth, then carefully made his own mix of soy sauce? to use with the noodles.

——when the broth is mixed with the soy sauce and turned a few times with chopsticks, the fragrance of noodles would fill the entire Bai Hua hall!

At this point, breakfast had been prepared for the entirety of the Bai Hua sect.

Qing Rou and Wan Er, who were standing by, had been waiting for a while.

They watched as Gu Qing Shan got busy making a grand breakfast for the sect dish by dish.

While smiling brightly the entire time.

They helped Gu Qing Shan plate the spirit cooking and carried it all into Bai Hua hall.

The members of Bai Hua sect had all gathered.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised to see two familiar faces.

Ning Yue Chan and Leng Tian Xing.

So they were the so-called ‘guests’.

Ning Yue Chan glanced at Gu Qing Shan to see the pot of porridge he was carrying and asked in surprise: “I thought the one responsible for cooking in your sect was Qin Xiao Lou”

“Xiao Lou had been busy breaking through recently, so I’m in charge of making food for now” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He arranged the dishes on the table before coming to shake Leng Tian Xing’s hand.

“Long time no see”

“It really has been”

They both laughed refreshingly.

Their bond was made in the blood and fires of battle, so it wouldn’t disappear just from not seeing each other.

“Very well, enjoy your breakfast before you all reminiscent” Bai Hua Fairy declared.

Everyone quieted down and quickly took their seats.

Normally, during the meals of Bai Hua sect, everyone would casually chat and eat at the same time.

But if there were outsiders, the disciples of Bai Hua sect would need to maintain courtesy, so it was better that they said nothing.

This was a general rule for big sects. Normally, Bai Hua Fairy doesn’t care, but when there were guests here, she was at least concerned with upholding her basic image and pride.

Everyone enjoyed their breakfast in silence.

Sure enough, Bai Hua Fairy only ate a bowl of spirit porridge.

The white goose ate two whole bowls of noodles, then proceeded to happily gnaw on a seasoned duck’s neck.

Qin Xiao Lou tasted each of the 16 snacks with a look of fancy and interest.

——if it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t talk today, he would’ve focused entirely on discussing these dishes with Gu Qing Shan.

Xiuxiu ate her regular soul vessel enhancement diet with a sour face, but once she finished, Gu Qing Shan gave her a small bowl of noodles and some desserts.

Xiuxiu smiled as she ate.

Qing Rou ate very slowly with perfect etiquette, and Wan Er was the same.

While eating, Leng Tian Xing sneakily gave Gu Qing Shan a thumbs up.

“Your skills in cooking are great”

He sent his voice.

“Eat more then” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Ning Yue Chan occasionally sneaked a glance at Gu Qing Shan.

She tried every dish at least once, each time appearing more and more surprised.

As the Saintess of her sect, she grew up with ample knowledge and understanding of good spirit cooking.

These dishes were already top standard, even Qin Xiao Lou couldn’t have done much better.

Ning Yue Chan couldn’t help but silently send her voice: “Who would’ve thought you were also quite the cooking expert as well”

Gu Qing Shan smirked proudly: “Of course, my cooking skills are renowned across many worlds, normal people couldn’t possibly eat it even if they wanted to” historical

Ning Yue Chan looked at him and couldn’t help but commented: “That’s right, whoever gets to marry you will definitely eat well”

“…”

Gu Qing Shan silently decided that he was going to find an opportunity to teach this girl a lesson.
