Start the pot, boil the water, and cook!
Zhuang Zhou really cracked the exotic beast egg on the edge of the iron pot, the shell shattered, and the yolk and egg white spilled into the pot. Such a precious exotic beast egg was turned into egg drop soup by Zhuang Zhou with a flick of his hand.
Hearing the sound of the shell breaking.
The Elder of Transmission clutched his chest, as if he heard the sound of his own heart breaking!
"This prodigal, this beast, this beast!"
The Elder of Transmission was trembling with anger.
He had seen wastefulness before, but never to this extent!
That was an exotic beast egg, which, if hatched and properly nurtured, could at least grow to the Golden Core Realm!
Exotic beasts have extraordinary talents, with cultivation potential even better than most humans!
Before reaching the Golden Core Realm, their path is almost smooth, with no bottlenecks or obstacles as long as resources are sufficient and time is invested!
"Let's add some Spirit Valley, hmm, a drop of Heavenly Dew, and a century-old ginseng from Beichen's Mustard Seed Ring, a great tonic, let's stew it all together!"
Zhuang Zhou smacked his lips, adding various precious herbs into the pot.
In no time, spiritual energy surged, and the soup in the pot presented a mirage of will-o'-the-wisp.
"If I had met you later, I might have raised you, but now I'm penniless and can't even support myself, so I have to stew you into soup!"
Zhuang Zhou mumbled to himself while cooking the soup.
In this Secret Realm, danger lurked everywhere, and strengthening oneself was fundamental.
Otherwise, possessing a treasure would only bring disaster.
This exotic beast egg in his hands was actually a source of trouble!
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the medicinal egg drop soup was ready.
Zhuang Zhou scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and the taste was just right!
Rich spiritual energy surged into every part of his body, and it felt as if a flame was burning inside him.
Both the century-old ginseng and the exotic beast egg were great tonics, with the Heavenly Dew balancing yin and yang.
Zhuang Zhou's cultivation advanced, with True Qi continuously flowing into his Three Dantian Centers.
A happy smile appeared on Zhuang Zhou's face!
However, the happier Zhuang Zhou looked, the more it pained the Elder of Transmission to watch.
Soon, Zhuang Zhou finished the entire pot of medicinal egg drop soup.
With a boom!
Zhuang Zhou's cultivation broke through to the fifth layer of the Body Refining Realm!
A pot of medicinal egg drop soup was worth months of hard cultivation!
A faint metallic sheen even flowed over Zhuang Zhou's skin, and his pores opened, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy permeating the world like countless baby mouths!
"Extravagant!"
"Prodigal!"
The Elder of Transmission stomped his foot.
A dignified exotic beast egg, used to make soup, and Zhuang Zhou only broke through from the fourth to the fifth layer of the Body Refining Realm, this couldn't even be described as wasteful!
"Just one small realm breakthrough?"

Lin Xuerou couldn't help but frown!
With such precious herbs and rich spiritual energy, given Zhuang Zhou's shallow cultivation, he should have at least crossed two small realms to be reasonable!
Could it be...
A terrifying guess rose in Lin Xuerou's heart.
But she remained calm, suppressing the thought.
Patting his slightly bulging belly, Zhuang Zhou was very satisfied!
Each of his breakthroughs required ten times the resources of others!
For this medicinal soup to raise him one small realm was already quite remarkable!
"Why do I feel like I'm being watched?!"
With his realm elevated, Zhuang Zhou's understanding of the Divine Path reached a new level, and his senses became sharper, allowing him to perceive some imperceptible things.
"Could it be that the Northern Heaven Academy can monitor everything happening in the Secret Realm at all times?"
"Yes, I heard in my past life that some magical artifacts can oversee all things. If Northern Heaven Academy wants to truly understand each student's performance in the Secret Realm, they would definitely arrange for such artifacts to monitor in real-time! In that case, I can't expose too many of my methods, like the Heaven-Earth Altar, which would bring immediate disaster if revealed!"
Zhuang Zhou made a silent decision in his heart.
A faint killing intent drifted in.
Like autumn leaves falling, cold and desolate!
Zhuang Zhou had a sudden premonition, his hairs standing on end, sensing the approach of danger.
A narrow long sword suddenly stabbed from behind, aiming straight for his neck!
Zhuang Zhou's figure dissipated.
Shifting shadows!
In the next moment, Zhuang Zhou appeared several meters away.
Where he had just stood, a black-clothed person appeared, not highly cultivated, only at the sixth layer of the Body Refining Realm, but with a restrained aura and silent movements!
An assassin!
Zhuang Zhou held his breath.
He could feel the dangerous aura emanating from the other person.
"An assassin from Misty Rain Pavilion, I didn't expect the Sovereign of Grand Yong to value me so highly, actually disguising an assassin from Misty Rain Pavilion as a noble scion to infiltrate the Northern Heaven Academy's entrance test team!"
A mocking smile appeared on Zhuang Zhou's lips.
"The Sovereign of Grand Yong's governance is mediocre, but he's quite adept at eliminating meritorious officials!"
"Taking money to eliminate disasters for others! Someone paid me to kill you, I won't concern myself with your grudges and feuds!"
The assassin was cold.
Despite being just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, Zhuang Zhou could sense a seasoned and efficient air about him.
"Shattered in the misty rain of the mortal world, a lost soul in the Yellow Springs! Just how much enmity does this Zhuang Zhou have, to have a Beast Tamer trying to kill him as soon as he entered the Secret Realm, and now even an assassin from Misty Rain Pavilion is making a move!"
The Elder of Transmission was shocked, his body trembling, eyes flashing with a sharp light.
Misty Rain Pavilion and Yellow Springs Pavilion were the two major assassin organizations in the Ling Tian Realm, with branches everywhere!
Previously, Beichen wanted to kill Zhuang Zhou, and he couldn't intervene, as it was their personal grudge.
But for Misty Rain Pavilion to take a task and come into their Northern Heaven Academy's Secret Realm, they needed an explanation!
"Don't intervene, Zhuang Zhou should be able to handle this assassin himself!"
Lin Xuerou stopped the Elder of Transmission, preventing him from taking action.
Her gaze was gentle yet firm.
The Elder of Transmission had no choice but to relent!
At this moment, the assassin from Misty Rain Pavilion made his move, his body like catkins, moving with the wind, stabbing a sword towards Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou sneered.
"Dare to be arrogant with just the sixth layer of the Body Refining Realm?"
Zhuang Zhou feared absolute power suppression, not opponents with combat skills.
In his past life, he had experienced countless battles over a century, honing his combat awareness and skills to perfection, unmatched by ordinary assassins.
Zhuang Zhou sidestepped, and the assassin's narrow sword missed!
Zhuang Zhou punched forward, directly shattering the assassin's head with a single blow!
"Subtlety! This is body movement subtlety!"
The Elder of Transmission exclaimed in surprise.
Zhuang Zhou's dodge just now was very particular!
He used the smallest movement to create an opportunity for counterattack.
Only someone who had mastered the details of the body to the extreme could achieve this!
Body movement subtlety, even some experts in the Profound Connection Realm found it difficult to achieve!
Yet Zhuang Zhou succeeded, no wonder the Elder of Transmission was surprised!
