On Qinglan Star, there is a dojo that occupies a quarter of the planet's size, where almost all of the planet's resources are concentrated.
Several burly men were kneeling on one knee, talking to a young man who looked very young but exuded an air of authority.
"Master, I failed to protect you properly. The young master was killed in the cultivation world."
The young man glanced indifferently at the burly man, his narrow eyes flashing red light.
"The young master is dead, so why have you all returned unharmed?"
The burly man looked blank, seemingly oblivious to the danger in the young man's words.
"They told us to return and report to our master before they spared our lives."
"Smack!"
The young man snorted angrily and struck out with his palm, turning all the burly men in front of him into dust.
"This is outrageous! They killed my only son, Liu Chengfeng, and now they dare to come and notify me in broad daylight? Are they trying to ride on my neck and shit on me? You crude and remote planet, I'm going to go and meet you right now, and show you who you absolutely cannot mess with."
On this day, all the sects on Qinglan Star mobilized, and all the high-level combat forces of the sects came out in full force, boarding the spaceship prepared by Liu Chengfeng and flying towards the cultivation world.

Ye Feng was unaware that a crisis was approaching; he was still in the kitchen of the mountain retreat preparing the fourth and final dish.
It's called a dish, but it's also a staple food, because the fourth and final dish he's going to make is dumplings, lotus root and beef dumplings.
Beef is a bit tougher and has a stronger gamey smell than pork, but that doesn't stop it from being a delicious ingredient for fillings. However, there are many details to pay attention to when making it, otherwise the dumplings will be both gamey and tough.
The kitchen helpers also loved dumplings, and they all gathered around Ye Feng, waiting for him to explain the ins and outs of making dumpling fillings.
Ye Feng first took out a large handful of Sichuan peppercorns and put them in a basin, then added scallions and ginger, and finally poured in boiling water.
"This is done to obtain peppercorn, scallion, and ginger water. After the water cools down naturally, it is poured into the minced meat in a 5:1 ratio. This not only enhances the aroma and removes the fishy smell, but also makes the originally tough beef more juicy."
Then he took out a large piece of beef and a small piece of butter and said, "The ground beef must be 3 parts fat and 7 parts lean. The beef should be soaked in water before mincing to draw out all the blood. Of course, you can also use spiritual power to draw out the blood from the beef, provided that your spiritual power control level is high enough to draw out the blood without damaging the structure of the beef itself."
As he spoke, Ye Feng had already gathered his spiritual power to force out the blood from the beef.
"No matter what kind of meat it is, blood is a major source of its fishy smell. As long as the blood is removed properly, the dish is halfway to success."
"If you only eat the meat in the ground beef, the taste will be a bit worse. I personally don't really like eating pure meatballs. The ratio of meat to vegetables should be 7:3. If you prefer a more vegetarian option, you can keep the ratio at 6:4."
Ye Feng took out lotus root, carrot, and onion and said, "Lotus root can add a certain crispness to the meat filling, while onion, scallion, and carrot will enhance the flavor of the beef. This combination is a very effective filling."
As he spoke, he also made his own meat filling. By the time he finished speaking, Ye Feng had already prepared the filling.
"The meat filling looks unappetizing if it's too pale, so we add some dark soy sauce for color. After mixing, we need to stir it with chopsticks until it becomes sticky. Then comes the making of the dumpling wrappers. If the filling determines the lower limit of the dumpling, then the wrapper determines the upper limit. A soft, limp wrapper is not good, and a wrapper that's too hard is also no good. It must have a texture that you can clearly feel is thick, a little bit chewy, but definitely not soft."
As he spoke, Ye Feng began making dumpling wrappers again. Each disciple also had a basin in their hand, making their own wrappers in sync with Ye Feng. Ye Feng always let them participate in these hands-on tasks, and then let them eat what they had made themselves when the dumplings were cooked.
It must be said that these disciples are very talented in making dumplings. Not only do they make dumpling wrappers very well, but they also put a lot of effort into making them. Since they make them for themselves, each of them makes dumplings in a unique and creative way.
Zhaoxing sculpted many small animals, such as the faces of mice, puppies, and kittens. Qingyou sculpted a bunch of small flying swords, and after finishing them, she imitated Ye Feng's control of the Great Bread Sword Formation, making his flying sword formation revolve around him, giving off a very impressive "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" vibe. Ningyue sculpted small snowflakes, which suited her cool and aloof temperament quite well.
Although Qi Ye was very adventurous, he always followed Ye Feng's lead when it came to making food. He firmly believed that his junior uncle did it this way because it was the best way to make it taste good, so he shaped it into the same small ingot shape as Ye Feng.
Like Qi Ye, Jue Ming was always ostracized when eating dumplings. Everyone felt that he should be expelled from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for his dumpling-eating skills.
After shaping the dumplings, everyone started cooking them. Ye Feng had already taught them how to cook dumplings, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore. Before long, everyone had finished cooking their dumplings, and it was time for everyone to show off their unique skills.
Zhao Xing and Qing You were relatively normal; both of them took out a small dish of vinegar to dip their food in. Ning Yue had a stronger palate and added a clove of garlic to her dish. Qi Ye, on the other hand, used a dipping sauce of vinegar, chili oil, and wasabi, which shocked the other kitchen helpers.
"My goodness, Senior Brother Qiye is eating dumplings with wasabi?!"
"How could anyone eat that? It's unimaginable."
"I think that little bit of chili oil is already a lethal dose. Add horseradish, how can you even taste the dumplings?"
"I have one question that I'm curious about right now."
"What's the problem?"
"Even with Senior Brother Qiye in this state, none of the senior brothers and sisters have said anything about expelling him from our Shushan clan. Just how much does Senior Brother Jueming eat to incur such wrath from heaven and man?"
"Hiss... Now that you mention it, I'm also curious about how Senior Brother Jueming eats it."
Qi Ye glared at them from the side and said, "I advise you to give up this curiosity. I bet after you see it, you'll all want to beat him up, but what if you can't beat him and he teaches you a lesson?"
The disciples exchanged glances and agreed that Senior Brother Qiye made sense. However, their curiosity was like a persistent tickle, causing them to steal glances at Jueming, who had his back to them. In the end, they couldn't resist their strong curiosity and exchanged a look before slowly walking towards Jueming.
The group craned their necks over Jueming's shoulder and were dumbfounded when they saw how he was eating. They just stared at him blankly, giving up on thinking.
This immediately piqued the curiosity of the other kitchen helpers, who were all wondering how Senior Brother Jueming could eat dumplings in a way that left these people dumbfounded.
Ye Feng slapped himself in the face to force himself not to look at Jue Ming. He was afraid that if he saw her, he would slap her in the face, and Jue Ming couldn't withstand his slap.
