Chapter 4 The First Rule of Cultivation: Do not get entangled in karma; if you kill someone, scatter their ashes!



The next morning, Gu Xuan lay in a chair.

Suddenly, an enticing aroma of food wafted into my nostrils.

He suddenly woke up, sat up like a carp leaping out of its shell, and sniffed hard.

Soon, his gaze settled on the kitchen.

That enticing aroma.

It came from there!

At this moment, he saw Fang Li come out carrying a plate with three dishes and a soup on it.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

The aroma of the food wafted over to Gu Xuan, making him swallow hard again.

He's usually too lazy to cook.

They usually go to the palaces of ordinary people to freeload food and drinks.

Or simply don't eat it.

After all, with his cultivation level, he had already achieved the state of abstaining from grains.

I never expected that after taking on an apprentice, someone would actually cook for me.

These days aren't so bad!

When Fang Li saw that Gu Xuan had woken up, she quickly came over with the dishes in her hands.

"Master, you're awake?"

"This is the breakfast I made. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"

"If the taste is acceptable, I will make it for you every day from now on."

As he spoke, he respectfully placed the three dishes and one soup on the bamboo-woven tea table in front of Gu Xuan.

"Haha, good disciple!"

Gu Xuan laughed heartily with satisfaction, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

The moment it entered his mouth, his eyes lit up!

This taste...

Waaah, it reminded him of his mother's cooking!

Since his transmigration, he had not tasted his mother's cooking for a long time.

Alas, I wonder how my mother is doing now?

Thinking of this.

Gu Xuan channeled his grief into his appetite and buried himself in his food.

......

About an incense stick later.

The three dishes and one soup were almost all gone.

After a satisfying meal, Gu Xuan patted his belly contentedly and leaned back in his chair.

He rinsed his mouth with tea brewed from the finest Enlightenment Tea.

"My disciple, this dish is excellent. From now on, you will be in charge of preparing all three meals a day."

"Yes, Master."

Fang Li smiled broadly upon hearing this.

The chef's love for his cooking made him very happy.

Even if it takes him a lifetime, he would be happy to do it.

Gu Xuan looked at Fang Li, who was overjoyed and acted like a 300-pound child, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This kid is so happy to be a chef!

They're probably being sold out, and they'll even help the seller count the money.

No, I must make him know the cruelty of the cultivation world!

After a short while, Gu Xuan's expression turned serious, and he began to admonish Fang Li.

They were told that the cultivation world is extremely cruel, a place where the strong prey on the weak, and that the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction.

The first principle of cultivating immortality: Do not get entangled in karma; if you kill someone, scatter their ashes.

He plans things carefully before acting, remains as steady as an old dog when still, and when he does act, he causes a great stir. After acting, he leaves quietly and never easily steps into danger.

Keep your true strength hidden; never reveal your true abilities. Always remain calm and collected.

Never blindly trust the goodwill of others without reason; they may have ulterior motives or malicious intentions.

Finally, and this is the most important point.

Never, ever go looking for trouble!

........

Gu Xuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said in a deep voice, "Disciple, do you understand?"

"I understand, disciple."

"very good."

At that moment, he glanced at the leftover food on the coffee table, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Oh, by the way, disciple, where did you get these dishes?"

"Master, it's in that vegetable garden south of Medicine King Valley." Fang Li blurted out without thinking.

"Hmm? That vegetable patch to the south?!"

Gu Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I didn't grow any vegetables in Medicine King Valley, so there's only one possibility...

Damn, aren't those some top-grade spiritual herbs of the fifth or sixth rank planted by the Danfeng Peak Master?

It’s over!

If that old bastard Yunlan knew that my apprentice had eaten the top-grade spiritual herbs he used to refine medicine, he would be furious.

Wouldn't that be...?

Damn it, I just praised Fang Li yesterday for not causing trouble.

I've gotten myself into a big mess today.

However, one is bound to be obliged by those who offer food and gifts, and the apprentice Fang Li meant well.

Pshaw, it's just a top-grade spiritual herb of the fifth or sixth rank.

fine!

At worst, I can sleep less and make up for it by refining more rank 7 or higher pills for that old man Yunlan.

Think of this.

Gu Xuan didn't care at all.

Just then, he suddenly saw that Fang Li's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the late stage of the ninth level of the Physical Body Realm.

Tsk, no wonder it's a good thing the system gave me.

With his talent and physique improved, coupled with external help and Fang Li's diligence, he achieved his goal.

Your cultivation level will increase in no time, without you having to worry about it at all!

Winning the Rookie of the Year award three months from now seems like no problem.

"Disciple, not bad. You broke through to the late stage of the ninth level of the Physical Body Realm overnight, just one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm."

"Heaven rewards diligence; God will not let down those who work hard. Keep up the good work."

"Without what Master gave me, I absolutely could not have reached this level in one night."

"From this day forward, I will not worship Heaven and Earth, nor will I respect ghosts and gods. I will only worship my parents and respect my master!" Fang Li solemnly bowed to Gu Xuan again, his tone extremely sincere.

"It's good that you have the intention."

Gu Xuanxu raised his hand and helped Fang Li up.

He then poured him a cup of tea and said, "This is Enlightenment Tea. Drinking it may give you a deeper understanding of your cultivation techniques."

"Thank you, Master Xie."

Fang Li cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and accepted the tea with both hands.

Then, he drank it all in one gulp!

Gu Xuan was taken aback.

Good grief, do you think you're drinking plain water?
