"You ate the spirit fish that the sect leader had raised for a thousand years?!"

He said the fish looked so familiar. Oh no, he was worried he'd get scolded for being an accomplice.

Mingyue was intently shaving the fish bones. "No wonder the meat was a bit tough."

Zhuji:......

That's a spirit fish!

A thousand years have passed, and the sect leader has devoted a great deal of effort to it. It was as precious as his own child, and it's all gone just like that?

Then you turn around and complain that other people's meat is too old. Why don't you just fly to the moon?

"Wouldn't the sect leader be furious?"

Zhu Ji muttered to himself, "This fish is neither good nor bad. If it's not grilled... I've already grilled it."

The sect leader was in high spirits after accepting a disciple and was about to introduce his precious spirit fish to his disciples when he discovered that the Tianyao Spirit Pool was empty.

No, where's his fish?!

The enraged sect leader immediately launched a thorough investigation, which led him to Mingyue. He stormed to Qingyue Peak and saw the spirit fish that Zhu Ji was roasting.

His fingertips trembled with rage, his face as black as ink, and he nearly choked on his breath, stammering, "You you you you you—"

His fish was eaten!

"Don't be angry, sit down and talk it out."

"Master Mingyue, give me an explanation!"

He will absolutely not let this go; he'll do anything, except this!

He raised it for a thousand years, developing deep feelings for it, and then it was eaten! How could he possibly accept that?

"You raise these spirit fish precisely so you can break through to the Great God realm and become a Venerable One, right?"

In this world, spiritual power is divided into Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Lesser Deity, Middle Deity, Greater Deity, Venerable One, Mahayana Stage, and Immortal Position.

The sect leader's spiritual power had remained stagnant for a thousand years, no matter how much he cultivated or took pills—he almost resorted to unorthodox methods—his cultivation level simply did not improve at all.

He raised the spirit fish for this reason, hoping to break through to become a Venerable during his next closed-door cultivation. Otherwise, his lifespan would end sooner or later.

"Do you have a solution?"

The sect leader calmed down, and his voice became more composed.

Mingyue ate the fish with a smile in front of the sect leader, saying, "Yes, there is."

The sect leader's face lit up with joy, but he glanced at the fish corpse again, cleared his throat, and continued with a stern expression, "What method?"

"God-Breaking Pill."

"I've taken this pill countless times, and it's completely useless to me!" The sect leader's voice was laced with anger. "Master Mingyue, don't take advantage of your strength to play with others."

How do you know I'm not playing a trick on you if you haven't even eaten?

Mingyue's tone was serious. The sect leader hesitated before taking the jade bottle and pouring out the God-Breaking Pill inside. "Your pill... divine runes! You actually managed to refine a God-Breaking Pill with divine runes!"

Ordinary Divine Breaking Pills were ineffective against him, but this Divine Breaking Pill had golden divine patterns running through its walls. Could this be the legendary divine-quality pill?

"I practiced a little bit, enough to buy these fish of yours, right?"

"That's enough, that's enough. If you want more, I'll have someone bring some over later!"

Zhu Ji watched as the sect leader's expression changed, and he was speechless. Had he been just as rude as he was just now?

"Then find someone with good cooking skills to send over."

With a cook, she wouldn't have to chase after Zhu Ji every day, since such a flamboyant man would damage her aloof image.

If Zhu Ji knew that he was kicked out of the circle by Ming Yue because he was too flashy, would he regret not dressing properly?

"Absolutely no problem, I'll arrange it right now!"

The sect leader left Qingyue Peak with a beaming smile that never faded. "Give the order to find a top-notch chef and send him to Qingyue Peak."
