Before long, a reply from Su Qingyu arrived.

"My past titles are meaningless. Let’s not bring them up."

"What is it?"

Judging by her tone, it was clear Su Qingyu no longer had any attachment to her former title as the Biyou Palace Master.

She had no intention of rallying her old followers within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect to relive her former glory.

She had witnessed the boundless power of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, and she was now surrounded by countless prodigies. It was no surprise that Su Qingyu’s perspective had changed.

"Palace Master, I’m over at the Taian Mountain Dining Hall, and I’ve run into a bit of trouble..."

Seeing how much Su Qingyu had changed, Zou Feng gave up the idea of making small talk and got straight to the point.

"Trouble? Do you really think I’m in any position to solve your problems now?"

"But if you need some poison for your training, I haven’t washed my feet yet today. The toxins should be enough for you to practice your Poison Skill for three days."

"But you’ll have to come find me on Celestial Bright Mountain yourself!" Su Qingyu replied in quick succession.

’Why is it that whenever I ask for help, she immediately assumes I want to... lick them?’

Zou Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose, unable to stop himself from recalling his time in Biyou Palace. Su Qingyu’s highest reward for her subordinates had been to offer them her toxic feet.

"That’s not it... I was wondering, Palace Master, are you interested in earning some Immortal Fate?"

The reason he was asking to borrow Immortal Fate from Su Qingyu was that she possessed the Calamity Body, a constitution on par with natural Spirit and Flesh.

After joining the Outer Sect, she was exempt from manual labor. She only needed to focus on her Cultivation, and her benefits were much better than those of an ordinary Outer Disciple.

But for cultivators who aspired to immortality, the amount of Immortal Fate an Outer Disciple received was still just a drop in the bucket.

"My Monthly Allowance is only eight points of Immortal Fate. I can’t afford any decent resources with that. Of course I won’t pass up an opportunity to earn more."

"But let me be clear. If you’re planning on being my pimp and finding me clients, you can forget it..."

It was no wonder Su Qingyu had such concerns.

Her looks were still top-tier, even within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

Most importantly, she had the Calamity Body. The toxins she produced were addictive. If she were to truly let loose, she would undoubtedly be in high demand.

"Palace Master, what kind of person do you take me for..."

’As expected of an Evil Cultivator. Her mind always goes straight to the gutter.’

After a brief mental complaint, Zou Feng quickly explained his money-making plan to Su Qingyu.

After hearing him out, Su Qingyu was silent for a moment before asking, "How certain are you?"

"One hundred percent!"

"That confident?"

"I really can’t think of a single reason why I would lose..."

"Alright. I trust you. Wait a moment."

They were both people of action. Naturally, Su Qingyu wasn’t one to be indecisive or hesitant.

In less time than it takes to eat a meal, Zou Feng’s Token vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that one hundred points of Immortal Fate had been transferred to his account.

Su Qingyu definitely couldn’t have come up with one hundred points of Immortal Fate on her own right now.

However, the True Qi Realm masters from Biyou Palace who hadn’t perished in the Glazed Immortal Palace had all come to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

Although they were all just Outer Disciples now, they had all brought some valuables with them that could be pawned or sold within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.

In fact, Zou Feng also had things he could sell.

If he were willing to sell an extremely rare, mutated Gu Insect like Xiaolv, someone would definitely be willing to purchase it with Immortal Fate.

But Xiaolv was practically his pet, after all. Besides, it might prove even more useful in the future, so selling it was out of the question.

In short, with Su Qingyu’s influence, it wasn’t difficult to have her old Biyou Palace subordinates pool their funds and invest in Zou Feng. Raising one hundred points of Immortal Fate was actually quite manageable. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Of course, this was accomplished so quickly not just because of Su Qingyu’s influence over her former followers. Zou Feng’s own impressive performance back at the Glazed Immortal Palace had already earned their trust.

They all felt this venture had potential.

"Thank you, Palace Master. Barring any surprises, you can expect good news from me tomorrow!"

"If you pull this off, you can lick the poison from wherever you want. Your call!"

"..."

Not knowing how to reply, Zou Feng simply pretended he hadn’t seen it and put the Token away.

He then found himself marveling at how convenient the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s Token was. ’It really is like a smartphone from my past life.’

’But on second thought,’ he mused, ’we’re talking about Immortal Cultivation. A Spiritual Artifact with these functions should be standard issue in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. There’s nothing strange about it.’

’If anything is strange, it’s that Celestial Dao Cauldron hanging over our heads, monitoring everything. The more I think about it, the more terrifying it is...’

When his break was over, Zou Feng returned to the back of the kitchen and got back to work.

Providing food for all the Outer Disciples on Taian Mountain was an unimaginable amount of work.

The kitchen helpers, in particular, were busy almost all day long.

At that intensity, there was simply no time for Cultivation.

However, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect wasn’t so unreasonable as to completely disregard its disciples’ need for Cultivation.

Helpers in the Dining Hall worked for a full day, but then they got the entire next day off.

It was a rotating shift system.

Becoming a Head Chef was an even better deal. You could basically work one day and get two days off.

Even on their workdays, they spent most of their time just directing and supervising the apprentice chefs under them.

This explained why Yang Haoyu never seemed busy and even had free time to chase women.

Zou Feng’s first day on the job was especially exhausting, not least because he was also dealing with workplace bullying.

But he didn’t lash out. He silently added the Dining Hall Steward, Wu Cong, and the few other kitchen helpers who were clearly targeting and ostracizing him to his little black book.

It wasn’t until it was completely dark that Zou Feng finished his work and returned to Courtyard Nine.

Since he was handling Spiritual Food, which was inherently difficult, Zou Feng felt a weariness he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

As he dragged his exhausted body back to Courtyard Nine, the other Outer Disciples living there all stared at him with mocking eyes.
