You Told Me to Work in the Kitchen, but I'm Studying Heavenly Flames

Xu Shuping studied history and literature, but after entering the workforce, he could only become an ordinary corporate drudge. He never imagined he would one day transmigrate into a cook at Daomo Academy, whose daily chores were chopping wood and tending the fire.

The head chef of the kitchen berated him: "Pay? Getting into the academy is an incredible stroke of luck! The techniques they teach you are worth a fortune outside. If you can't master them, whose fault is that? Why can everyone else learn them, but you can't?"

Xu Shuping suddenly understood. His boss was working hard to cultivate him, and he resolved to turn over a new leaf.

Take this wood-chopping technique, for example. It was actually a peerless cultivation method that made the complex simple.

It might only let him chop wood for now, but once he mastered it, he would surely be able to chop people like firewood.

And this fire-controlling technique might well be the foundation for refining divine pills.

It might only let him control fire for now, but once he mastered it, it would surely be a revamped version of the Burning Mantra.

What? He couldn't master it? Enough said. It was definitely his own fault, surely his comprehension wasn't good enough.

No problem. Diligence makes up for a lack of talent. He would work hard, immediately writing a thirty-thousand-character analysis of a three-hundred-character cultivation method.

While the head chef smugly congratulated himself on tricking a good-for-nothing into working for free, a true immortal quietly rose to prominence.
