You Ask Dao Sect Have Gone Too Far!

After becoming the acting Sect Master, Yun Zhi visited the other four major immortal sects as usual, bringing a special gift—she told everyone that the Silent Daoist was in seclusion and that she was now in charge of the Ask Dao Sect.

The four major immortal sects were overjoyed when they heard this news; they were finally free from dealing with lunatics.

Moreover, Yun Zhi becoming the acting Sect Master means that she will not participate in the disciples' activities.

The Five Great Immortal Sects would hold disciple activities from time to time, allowing their disciples to explore ancient ruins and grottoes. However, since Yun Zhi's sudden appearance, there has been no need to hold such activities anymore, which has put the other four immortal sects in a very awkward position—it would be better to just give the rewards to Yun Zhi directly, which would also save time.

Upon seeing Shangguan Yu, whom he had been longing for, the Second Elder's eyes widened in amazement.

Although Shangguan Yu had rejected the Second Elder, he still couldn't forget the pure and beautiful Shangguan Yu.

Seeing the Second Elder staring intently at Shangguan Yu, Qiu Jin'an stepped forward, blocking the Second Elder's view, his face ashen. "When does the competition begin?"

The Grand Elder said, "According to the plan, we'll hold the opening ceremony and have a meal first, and then the competition will begin."

"That's quite organized," Qiu Jin thought with relief. "As expected of Yun Zhi's arrangement, it's much better than that bastard, the Silent Daoist."

The last time I visited the Ask Dao Sect, the Silent Daoist immediately put his arm around my neck and said, "Brother, come on, I'll take you to a brothel for some fun, it's on me."

Qiu Jinan immediately pushed the Silent Daoist aside.

Is this something that can be said face to face?! Shangguan Yu is still watching me!

"Huh? Where's that kid who knew about High Antiquity civilizations?"

Qiu Jin'an also wanted to discuss some High Antiquity secrets with Lu Yang, such as how the last powerful being who achieved the power of words died, and whether Ying Tianxian was named so because of an exceptionally fine day when he was born...

The elder explained, "He went to cook."

"Oh." Qiu Jinan didn't think much of it.

On the stage, disciples of the Ask Dao Sect and the Five Elements Sect stood together, watching the high-ranking officials speak.

They soon fell asleep.

The Grand Elder read from the prepared speech written by Lu Yang on the stage, "In order to implement the policy of the Five Great Immortal Sects working together, promote friendly exchanges between the Ask Dao Sect and the Five Elements Sect, and encourage the entire sect to deeply understand the friendship of the Five Great Immortal Sects, lay a solid foundation, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, I would like to make five points regarding the theme of this exchange meeting."

"First, implementing the policy of the Five Great Immortal Sects working together is both a historical necessity and a practical necessity. With the arrival of the High Antiquity era and the resurrection of ancient cultivators, facing the severe situation in the Central Continent and various uncertain and unpredictable risks and challenges, the Five Great Immortal Sects should, and must, unite as one..."

Qiu Jinan was shocked. Although he had expected the speech to be very different from the last one, he did not expect the difference to be this big.

Last time, the Silent Daoist only said two sentences: "Welcome to the Five Elements Sect. Everyone is free to do as they please."

When it was Qiu Jin'an's turn to speak, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "In this bright and sunny season of renewal, the Five Elements Sect is honored to visit the Ask Dao Sect and witness the most advanced ideas and theories in the cultivation world, which has been very inspiring..."

After the two rounds of speeches by the leaders, a sparse ovation rang out from the audience, which, in the words of the Eighth Elder, was like "not being able to urinate."

On the stage, the leaders from both sides shook hands.

"Sect Master Qiu, I look forward to your guidance during this exchange activity."

"Elder, you jest. Ask Dao Sect, show mercy!"

The Grand Elder and Qiu Jin'an wore kind smiles, and no one could tell that they were secretly communicating with each other using their Divine Sense.

"Qiu Jin'an, go back to your Five Elements Sect! The Ask Dao Sect doesn't welcome you. Look at your hypocritical face! Have you forgotten how we, the Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect, beat you up back then?"

"Nine people against one of me? Your Ask Dao Sect has no shame! Do you think I wanted to come to your Ask Dao Sect, a gathering place for a bunch of demons and monsters? Just wait and see how I vanquish these demons and monsters and spread the news of my victory throughout the cultivation world!"

In reality, the two of them smiled sincerely.

"Sect Master Qiu, shall we go eat?"

"Haha, I've long heard that the food at the Ask Dao Sect is exceptional; I must see it for myself today."

As the group walked to the canteen, Qiu Jin'an saw some disciples using fried dough sticks to hammer nails, making a clanging sound and sending sparks flying.

A disciple threw a freshly made pancake into the air, and it instantly grew larger, blotting out the sun.

Upon seeing a disciple making egg drop soup, the silver pot instantly turned black and gradually melted away, during which the egg drop soup condensed into a single drop of green liquid.

In a sense, it was truly an eye-opening experience.

The Ask Dao Sect wouldn't make me eat this kind of thing, would they?

Qiu Jinan felt uneasy, believing he hadn't committed such a heinous crime.

Finally, the group arrived at an extremely luxurious restaurant. From afar, they could smell the enticing aroma, and what was presented to Qiu Jinan was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

"It seems I misunderstood the Ask Dao Sect." Qiu Jin'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The immortal fairy wore a white apron and a tall hat, looking quite dignified.

She introduced each of the foods one by one, "The stuffed tofu is made from the finest elephant shin meat from the glacier, and the tofu is made using the morning dew that condenses on the herbs in the medicinal garden. I combined the two using High Antiquity Secret Method, resulting in an amazing effect."

The immortal fairy wanted to see the diners' reactions. "Want to try it?"

Qiu Jinan lifted the lid off the plate, and a golden light shot into the sky, blinding him. He heard celestial music playing incessantly.

Qiu Jinan turned his head and saw a group of people playing music next to him.

What are they doing?

"The performance creates atmosphere," the Immortal Fairy explained.

Qiu Jinan didn't think much of it. He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of tofu, and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw wisps of smoke rising from the part of the chopsticks that touched the tofu, which then quickly melted.

With a soft thud, the tofu fell back down.

Qiu Jinan blinked, thinking he was hallucinating.

The Immortal Fairy reminded her from the side, "Eat quickly, or the stuffed tofu will burn through the plate and the table."

Qiu Jinan resisted the urge to flip the table and tried other dishes instead.

He lifted the lid of a small teacup, which contained milky white fish soup. Two green leafy vegetables floated on top of the soup, making it look even more delicious.

The Immortal Fairy explained, "Our sect's Taihu Lake has a type of fish called the Azure Water Fish, a High Antiquity remnant. This fish must be cooked immediately after leaving the lake; it will spoil if left for more than three hours. I caught it from Taihu Lake this morning and carefully cooked it to preserve the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent possible. Please try it."

Then Qiu Jinan saw a small green fish swimming around in the fish soup, even leaping out of the soup and jumping back in, creating ripples in the soup. A drop of fish soup even splashed onto Qiu Jinan's face.

"... Isn't this fish a bit too lively?"

Qiu Jinan once again resisted the urge to overturn the table.

The Immortal Fairy said, "The fish you see is not a living creature. It is a fish spirit that I created using the skeleton of the Azure Water Fish and High Antiquity techniques. If you poke it with a spoon, it will open automatically."

Qiu Jinan carefully poked it with a spoon, and the small green fish indeed dissolved and melted into the fish soup, making the white fish soup even more delicious.

"I had misunderstood him," Qiu Jinan thought to himself.

He took a small sip, then spat it out. "It's so salty! How much salt did you put in?!"

The Immortal Fairy thought seriously for a moment, "Twenty seconds."

Qiu Jin'an slammed his fist on the table, stood up abruptly, and roared, "You Ask Dao Sect are going too far!"
