Kitchen staff member of the seven rivers sect, Ye Gui Feng with a cultivation base of Qi Condensation level has no hope of becoming a true immortal in a world of talent beats all. Working painstaking in the kitchen of the sect without a single spirit stone to show for his efforts he eventually meets a legendary demonic cultivator, Xie Mo Xin who guides him onto the path of demonic arts
The world of cultivàtion is vast and is always a
road filled with endless bloodbaths. Throughout
time immemorial countless experts have tread
this blood stained road and left behind their "Legends and legacies. Something shared by those who stand at the far top of the summit is that, regardless of their background, they will always have to start at the far bottom. Of course, not every person is born with the same amount of resources and talent. For those born with insufficient resources, the first thought would be to join a sect and prove one's worth to acquire the limited resources.
The Seven Rivers Sect is one of the four sects of Míng Rì Guó (Country of the Bright Sun). Out of the four sects that make up the defense of this land against the demonic sects, the Seven Rivers Sect is the most open-minded."
"Regarding recruitment, the Seven Rivers Sect has the most strongest promotion requirements. However, there is no discrimination against one's talent, and practically any mortal may join and be promoted as their cultivation base increases. It doesn't matter if one's background is prominent or not. Since every single person must always start from the bottom, this is considered a very fair system in the eyes of many who aspire to cultivate towards immortality.
Currently standing at the foot of the Seven Rivers Sect's first mountain is a boy by the name of Jiu Gui Feng. He is dressed in a set of plain robes. Before Jiu Gui Feng stands an elder from the sect."
"Describing him, he wears a Daoist robe with a flying Spirit Beast emblem behind his back. The raven-haired boy had just finished making a breakthrough yesterday in his cultivation and is now seeking promotion.
'Ahem...' The outer sect disciple makes an awkward expression as he forces himself to smile while averting his eyes to the side before speaking. 'Congratulations on reaching the 5th level of Qi Condensation.'
Jiu Gui Feng can't help but stare at the senior disciple in front of him with a blank expression "'0.5th level of Qi Condensation?' Honestly, I never knew such a level of cultivation even existed. I don't know if I should say you're lucky or unlucky for being the first to acquire such a cultivation base." The senior disciple seemed amazed by the discovery.
Perhaps, in the entire cultivation world, Jiu Gui Feng was the only individual to have ever reached such a level. In a way, this could be considered a talent in being exceptionally untalented.
Jiu Gui Feng's thoughts exploded in frustration:
"What the hell does that mean?! No way! I'm unlucky! You piece of...! 0.5th?! What the hell is this?! Even the weakest person in a xianxia novel would never have such a pathetic level of cultivation, no matter how talentless they are!!! The senior disciple gave the boy a pitying look while patting his shoulder. "I know this might be harsh, but until you reach the appropriate levels, you'll have to continue working in the sect's kitchen." He handed Ye Gui Feng his identity medal back.
Ye Gui Feng continued to look blankly at the senior disciple, who coughed while making his departure using a flying sword that took him towards the peak of the distant mountain.
_Sigh_ Ye Gui Feng sighed miserably as he walked to the kitchen area of the sect with a hunched back.
"It took me a total of three years to make a breakthrough into the 0.5th level of Qi Condensation. This may as well be just slightly above a mortal.
Inwardly, Ye Gui Feng curses about this mistreatment by the gods. As someone born in the 21st century of modern times but died to be reincarnated into this ancient world, shouldn't he be blessed with cheat-like talent that makes him the envy of others, like in the web novels he had often read?
When he had first discovered the existence of immortals in this world, Ye Gui Feng had hyped himself up while shouting, "This is the reason behind why I was born in these times!"
Thinking back to how bright his eyes were at the time, Ye Gui Feng can't help but laugh in ridicule at his naive mindset from a few years back.
"Oh, you're back."
"How'd it go?"
"He's back, and with that look, so nothing good happened."
Eyes gazed upon the sight of Ye Gui Feng's miserable return. Many of them were already at the first level of Qi Condensation. To move out of this place, they would have to have reached at least the third level.
"Alright, enough moping around. Get back to work."
"One of these days, you'll definitely become one of the strongest cultivators in the world!"
"That's the spirit. You'll get there eventually."
Taking in the encouraging words of his seniors, the boy mustered up his fighting spirit and began his daily job in the kitchen to prepare meals for the outer sect disciples
The hours of work soon drew to a close as the kitchen staff began their daily cleaning before preparing to close up shop.
Out of the entirety of the sect, the kitchen had the strongest bonds in teamwork, mainly due to how there were many chances to interact with their fellow peers.
"Alright, put out the fire."
"Shall I go prepare the hot waters for a bath?"
"Yeah, do that."
"Jiu Gui Feng, go get some water from the river with a few others.
"Get in."
There was no proper bathing area within this sect for those working outside. Mostly, everyone could only choose to create a makeshift bathtub out of used materials. For the kitchen staff, the bathing area was quite spacious, as everyone had poured their strength into making one.
"Ah, this is nice. If such days can continue, I'd be quite satisfied."
"Ahaha, definitely."
"But it's too bad tomorrow I'm going for my promotion.
As the others congratulate the person getting promoted, Ye Gui Feng begrudgingly curses at them inwardly.
"Ye Gui Feng, you must catch up quickly."
"Of course, of course..."
Although meant as a joke, it nonetheless hurts his pride, and Ye Gui Feng swears to get back at them.

"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.
