Chapter 8: Immortal-level skills are only suitable for cooking?

"Enlightenment Tea!?"

Leng Yanran couldn't help but marvel at the tea tree with such an extraordinary effect. If even enlightenment could be achieved so easily, what else couldn't her Master do?

"In response to Master, while I was in the state of enlightenment just now, I figured out all my doubts. However, the value of this Enlightenment Tea is so precious that I feel unworthy of it," Leng Yanran replied humbly.

Without time to be surprised, Leng Yanran quickly responded to her Master's words.

"That's good. As for the Enlightenment Tea's preciousness, now that you’ve become my disciple, what use would I have for it?" Chen Daoxuan chuckled and then took a sip of the tea.

However, as he drank it, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why couldn't he enter the state of enlightenment? Besides its delicious taste and rich aftertaste, the Enlightenment Tea seemed to have no other mystical effects!

But in Leng Yanran's eyes, this made her respect her Master even more. Such a precious Enlightenment Tea, yet he seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Could it be that even the Enlightenment Tea wasn't up to his taste!?

This divine treasure, if placed outside, would likely make even the top cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Realm fight to the death for it!

"Master, I have a few more questions I'd like to ask for your guidance," Leng Yanran said, suddenly shaking off her previous thoughts and looking at her Master again.

With a slight nod from her Master, she continued, "May I ask Master about the grade of the Chaos Devil Art you bestowed upon me? Could it be a legendary Immortal-grade technique?"

During her practice of the Chaos Devil Art, she had this speculation. In the current world, martial techniques were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, each with upper, middle, lower, and extreme levels.

Even the highest-grade known to her was only the Heaven-grade middle and lower levels, even in the Holy Lands of cultivation.

As for her original family's technique, it was a Earth-grade lower-level technique, which had made her the number one genius in the Moro Kingdom.

However, when she practiced the Chaos Devil Art, she could distinctly feel that this technique couldn't be compared to any Heaven-grade technique. It was highly likely that it was a legendary Immortal-grade technique!

"Immortal-grade?"

"That's not it," Chen Daoxuan was momentarily stunned, then shook his head to deny her assumption.

Leng Yanran sighed inwardly; it seemed she had thought too much. How could there be an Immortal-grade technique in this world, and how could she learn it?

Perhaps it was a top-notch Heaven-grade technique instead!

"The Chaos Devil Art is a mythical-level technique, a Heavenly technique that can't even compare to thousands of the so-called Immortal-grade techniques," he explained, dismissing her misconception.

Chen Daoxuan continued to explain to her in his own way. Although he wasn't sure how much stronger a mythical-level technique was compared to an Immortal-grade one, it was definitely not on the same level!

"Mythical, mythical-level... and Immortal-grade techniques are only fit for cooking?" For a moment, Leng Yanran's eyes widened, her ruby lips slightly parted, feeling like her entire worldview had collapsed!

If Immortal-grade techniques were only fit for cooking, then the Heaven-grade techniques in major Holy Lands would be considered suitable for restroom use? As for her family's inherited Earth-grade technique, it would only be good enough for cleaning up filth? Can you believe it!?

"I... I understand! Master, your great kindness and grace, I have no way to repay!"

After Leng Yanran realized the implications, she immediately kowtowed to her Master in deep gratitude.

In her heart, Leng Yanran had already decided that whatever demands her Master made of her, she would accept them without hesitation. Even giving up her life wouldn't be too much!

A technique surpassing Immortal-grade was worth far more than her life!

"Get up. There's no need to kneel all the time. I don't care about those formalities," Chen Daoxuan said helplessly as he assisted her back to her feet, quickly averting his gaze when he saw her kneeling.

After standing up, Leng Yanran thought of something and asked, "By the way, Master, I noticed the words 'Tian Dao' (Heavenly Dao) written on the great hall. Is that the name of our sect?"

"This... That's right. Our sect is called Heavenly Dao Sect," Chen Daoxuan was momentarily perplexed.

He had never considered what name his sect should have. After all, before accepting disciples, he was all alone! But hearing Leng Yanran's words, he casually agreed to the name Heavenly Dao Sect, which sounded quite imposing.

"Heavenly Dao Sect, it truly befits the name of Master's sect, named after the Heavenly Way!"

Leng Yanran took a deep breath, determined to make Heavenly Dao Sect's reputation resound throughout the world, to let her Master know that her dedication wasn't in vain!

Afterward, at her Master's request, Leng Yanran finished the Enlightenment Tea in her cup and once again entered the state of enlightenment.

This time of enlightenment lasted a full day. When Leng Yanran woke up, she found that her cultivation had already reached the Second Heaven of the Profound Realm.

Upon Chen Daoxuan's inspection, he discovered that her foundation was extremely stable, without any hidden dangers. As a result, Chen Daoxuan gained 100 years of cultivation and 100 exchange points.

"Thank you, Master!"

Leng Yanran slowly opened her eyes, looking at her Master with great respect. In less than two days after becoming his disciple, she had transformed from her original Fourth Heaven of the Sky Realm to her current Second Heaven of the Profound Realm.

She even had a feeling that with the strength of the Second Heaven of the Profound Realm, she might be able to challenge enemies beyond her level, even crossing great realms!

Having this thought, Leng Yanran hesitated, unsure whether she should speak to her Master about it.

"Just speak your mind," Chen Daoxuan noticed her hesitation and immediately asked. As for the 100 years of cultivation, the system had already automatically absorbed it, and now he had reached the Third Heaven of the Qi Condensation Realm, leaving him unsure whether to be happy or annoyed…

"Master, I was being pursued and haven't returned home yet. Normally, my family should send someone to investigate," Leng Yanran explained. "But there has been no movement from them, so I suspect my family might be facing some trouble. I want to go back and check on them…

"If Master is not pleased with this, then I won't go back!" Leng Yanran cautiously watched her Master's expression. If he showed any sign of dissatisfaction, she would apologize.

After all, even in worldly cultivation sects, disciples usually reduced contact with their families in pursuit of the Dao. As for her Master, who was like a transcendent being from the world beyond, he might not even need any worldly connections!

"I see. Are you confident?" Chen Daoxuan heard her words and didn't show any displeasure. He just asked in a serious tone.
