Bai Ge trained in the Gravity Chamber until noon. Under the suppression of dozens of times normal gravity, even with physical strength comparable to a Soul Elder enhanced by Soul Power and in Martial Soul Possession, he was drenched in sweat.
After taking a bath, Bai Ge prepared another lavish meal. The main course was still large, nutrient-rich cuts of Spirit Beast Meat, accompanied by ordinary meats such as chicken, duck, fish, along with vegetables and fruit.
After eating, Bai Ge cultivated the Jade Brightness Skill for a while that afternoon, then practiced martial techniques. By evening, after dinner, he began preparing Medicinal Paste for training in the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield.
After completing his Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield training, it was already nighttime. Bai Ge continued cultivating the Jade Brightness Skill for a while before finally going to sleep.
The next day, early morning.
Bai Ge got up early as usual, but not long after he began cultivating, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.
It probably wasn't Sister Malena...
Malena always entered directly through the connecting door in the courtyard. So who could it be?
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Bai Ge rose to his feet and called out as he headed toward the courtyard gate.
When he arrived at the gate and pushed it open, he found the Grandmaster, Tang San, and a middle-aged man Bai Ge did not know, wearing a pair of Black-Rimmed Crystal Glasses.
"Teacher, Tang San, you're back. Come in quickly."
Seeing the Grandmaster and Tang San, Bai Ge hurriedly invited them inside.
"Bai Ge, sorry to disturb you. Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Flender, and also the dean of Shrek Academy, the academy you will be attending."
Rather than immediately responding to Bai Ge's warm welcome, the Grandmaster introduced the middle-aged man beside him.
"Dean Flender, hello. My name is Bai Ge. I am Teacher's disciple."
Upon hearing the Grandmaster's introduction, Bai Ge hurriedly smiled and bowed to Flender.
"No need for formalities. You're Bai Ge, right? Your teacher said you're already a level 35 Soul Elder. Can you let me see?"
Flender waved his hand. He did not care much about Bai Ge's politeness, but he was extremely curious about Bai Ge's cultivation.
The moment Bai Ge heard that, he guessed the reason. Flender had probably already been shocked by Tang San's cultivation, but after hearing from the Grandmaster that he had another disciple with even higher cultivation than Tang San, he found it hard to believe.
Bai Ge did not explain. Instead, he directly summoned his Martial Soul, the Cloud-Soaring Vine. As one yellow and two purple Spirit Rings rose from beneath his feet, Flender's glasses nearly fell off.
"Xiao Gang, I thought Tang San was already freakish enough. I never expected you to have an even more freakish disciple..."
Flender leaned close to the Grandmaster's ear and whispered.
"There's much more you haven't expected. My disciple is not only highly talented, he is also exceptionally skilled at making money. Noble Hall, the restaurant he opened in partnership with someone else, is the most famous restaurant in Nuoding City. It holds a full eighty percent of Nuoding City's dining-out market, and now it has even opened restaurants in other cities."
The Grandmaster smiled at Flender's words.
"So your disciple should be quite wealthy?"
Flender's eyes immediately lit up at that.
"Don't think too much about it. Bai Ge is only working with someone else. Although he can earn money, he cannot interfere with the restaurant's actual operations."
Before Flender could speak, the Grandmaster had already guessed what he wanted to say.
"Ah?!"
Flender looked somewhat dejected.
"Don't worry. Although Bai Ge cannot invest heavily in Shrek Academy, sponsoring a few thousand or even ten thousand Gold Soul Coins should still be possible."
Seeing Flender's disappointment, the Grandmaster felt a little embarrassed as well.
After all, Flender had traveled a great distance to help Tang San hunt for a Spirit Ring. It would have been rather awkward to let him return empty-handed.
"Alas, even a few thousand Gold Soul Coins are just a drop in the bucket!"
Flender sighed.
"My disciple is not from some wealthy great clan. Though he is clever enough to earn quite a bit of money, he needs to cultivate too! As far as I know, he eats an entire Spirit Beast every day. He spends no fewer than a hundred Gold Soul Coins daily."
The Grandmaster said.
"Still, earning money is only one of my disciple's strengths. What he is truly best at is cooking."
As if recalling something, the Grandmaster smiled.
"Cooking?"
Flender was rather puzzled. Cooking was just cooking. What was so impressive about that?
"Not ordinary cooking. Somehow, my disciple learned extraordinarily advanced culinary skills and knowledge of medicinal ingredients. By combining the properties of medicinal herbs with cooking, he can make excellent Medicinal Cuisine. It can not only increase a Soul Master's cultivation to a certain extent, but also improve the Soul Master's cultivation speed."
Apparently guessing Flender's confusion, the Grandmaster added.
"No way?"
Flender was somewhat astonished. It was simply too unbelievable!
"Are you surprised? I was just as surprised when I first learned of it. But you'll understand after trying it. My disciple is now a celebrity in Nuoding City. Whether it is Nuoding City's City Lord, my old friend at Nuoding Academy, or the people from Spirit Hall, every one of them hopes my disciple will make them more Medicinal Cuisine. However, due to the ingredients, the Medicinal Cuisine my disciple currently makes only works on Soul Masters below Level 40. It is of little use to Soul Masters above Level 40, especially for a Spirit Sage like you."
The Grandmaster smiled at Flender.
"But if you try it, you can still experience something from it."
"It's enough if it works on Soul Masters below Level 40!"
Thinking of the students at Shrek Academy, Flender looked at Bai Ge as though he were some peerless treasure.
