I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Jian Yuntong seemed to understand, and took her leave with Chi Man.

Then, Li Hao looked at Tie Ge meaningfully.

He didn't say anything, just patted his big body.

All I can say is that children will eventually grow up.

Another two weeks later.

All eight spots have been decided. As expected, apart from Ye Fan, a rogue cultivator, all the other spots have been sold to major powers.

The four top powers of Fengjue Continent each occupy one, and two medicine towers were purchased, one of which was prepared for Xiaowei.

If Ye Fan is eliminated, only one will remain.

It's fair to say that the number of spots was extremely limited this time.

In short, it's time to set off.

At the summit of Broken Cloud Peak, eight warriors about to enter the ruins, along with their companions and parents, gathered here.

"This time it's different. Before, I told them to beat you up, so it didn't matter. Now that you're in there, if anyone dares to lay a hand on you, beat them to death, understand?"

"No matter who you kill, your young master will cover for it."

Before leaving, Li Hao helped Xiao Wei tidy her clothes while giving her some instructions.

The sound wasn't loud, but those present were no pushovers, so they naturally heard it and looked over with complicated expressions.

"Senior," Yuan Ye leaned closer and whispered, "the timing is perfect. Don't you think we should let Miss Xiao Wei go?"

Li Hao nodded and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, you can take this."

Li Hao took out a small glass water tank with shimmering inscriptions on its surface and an Ender Pearl floating inside.

This is the same thing that was given to the Eldar Queen before. Once activated, it can pull Li Hao to her side using the effect of the Ender Pearl.

Li Hao called this thing a summoner.

Use it when you need to, don't overdo it.

Xiao Wei took it and casually put it into her storage ring.

"I understand, don't worry, young master."

After a final hug, Li Hao allowed Xiao Wei and the other seven to stand in the center of the formation.

Seeing that everything was ready, Yuan Ye waved his hand, and the people beside the formation immediately activated it, and the entire formation suddenly lit up.

Under the influence of the formation, the eight people transformed into beams of light and shot straight into the sky.

They pierced through the clouds and flew into the depths of the sky.

In the distance in that direction, one can still see a broken continent floating in space.

That's the destination.

"They will be back in seven days, senior. Although separation is painful, it is all for a better reunion. Don't be too sad."

Seeing that Li Hao didn't seem to be in a very good mood, Yuan Ye spoke up to comfort him.

Li Hao was indeed a little reluctant, after all, Xiao Wei had never traveled far since she was born, so it was inevitable.

"Now all we have to do is wait, right? Okay."

"Coincidentally, I have a somewhat immature idea."

"How about we hold a culinary competition?"

This topic seemed a bit too far-fetched, leaving Yuan Ye somewhat puzzled: "Why the sudden urge to hold a culinary competition?"

What else could it be? After the spirit puppet was burned, it became difficult to even get a decent meal.

Go back to town to eat; it's like opening a blind box—the taste depends entirely on luck.

Although Li Hao could buy another spirit puppet from the Medicine Tower, he really didn't want to use that thing anymore.

Why not choose someone with excellent cooking skills and let Xiaowei learn how to cook, or she can learn on her own?

Even in the wilderness, we won't have to go hungry anymore.

"I just want to eat something good. Do you think this is feasible?"

Yuan Ye thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "It's definitely feasible, but the investment will probably be quite large."

"You should know that some top-tier dishes use incredibly expensive ingredients. It's unreasonable for us to have contestants bring their own ingredients when we're hosting a culinary competition, is it?"

For the sake of fairness, they must provide the same ingredients.

"If you just want a good meal, why go through all the trouble of holding a culinary competition? I can just find you a chef."

"I wouldn't dare say my cooking skills are the best in the human world, but they are definitely among the top."

Yuan Ye's words make sense, but Li Hao still wants to learn.

"I'm not just talking about eating, I'm also thinking about teaching myself or Xiaowei."

Yuan Ye then understood and said, "So you want to learn cooking? That's easy!"

"There is a second-rate sect in Zhongyan Continent called the Fire Control Sect. It is full of gourmets who love to study cooking."

"If the seniors were here, they would definitely have a lot in common with them."

The Fire Control Sect itself is not very strong; in fact, it ranks at the bottom among second-rate forces.

But they are indeed very skilled. The various dishes they research are not only delicious, but also have many other benefits. To some extent, they can replace some of the elixirs.

"Hmm, that sounds interesting." Li Hao nodded, then asked, "Where is Zhongyan Continent?"

Yuan Ye said, "Just head east from our Fengjue Continent, and you'll find it."

Li Hao nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad... Let's go back first, and you can tell me in detail."

As the two were talking, they prepared to go down the mountain. While they were chatting, Jian Yuntong quietly moved closer to Tie Ge.

"Hey buddy, you're just sitting here doing nothing anyway, why don't you come sit with me for a bit?"

Tie Ge glanced at Li Hao's retreating figure, unsure whether he should agree or not.

But before Tie Ge could speak, Li Hao said proactively, "If you want to stay, then stay. It'll also keep an eye on the sky."

A half-hearted refusal is the same as not refusing at all; Brother Tie's hesitation indicates that he meant it.

Leaving aside whether Jian Yuntong's taste was unusual or if she had ulterior motives, let's just talk about this matter.

This is a good thing.

The seven emotions and six desires are human nature and the underlying characteristics of human life.

It's not like I'm practicing the ruthless path; there's no harm in experiencing it.

"Then I'll stay."

Tie Ge responded, and Li Hao waved without turning his head, chatting with Yuan Ye as they descended the mountain.

……

Inside the ruins of the fallen god.

This continent originally belonged to Fengjue Continent, but it was separated from the continent during the great battle of the four Martial Gods and now floats in the vast starry sky.

Yet, due to gravity, it hasn't completely disappeared, making it like an unconventional moon.

However, compared to the moon, which returns to its closest point once a day, this continent only returns to its closest point every ten years.

It was at this moment that Feng Juezhou was able to use the formation to send people in.

At this moment, as the eight beams of light descended, the light faded, revealing the true forms of the eight people.

All I could see was yellow sand, devoid of any life.

"Xiaowei, let's team up."

Chi Man took the initiative to approach Xiao Wei, and the two set off immediately.

After all, the eight of them are still in competition with each other.

"Brother Pei, let's go too." Xia Tianhua called to another man and quickly left the group.

Just by looking at the direction, it highly overlaps with Xiaowei and the others.

"Old man, which way do we go?" Ye Fan asked in his mind.

"Let's go to the left and take a detour, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Without uttering a word, Ye Fan immediately activated his spiritual power and flew away from the starting point.
