Chapter 745 (1/2)

Breakthrough (2)

“You don’t need to know much to teach! I give recommendations to Xiaoyan all the time, doesn’t mean I can cook better!” Ye Lang blurted in response.

What Ye Lang meant was something all of them already knew. Ye Lang had always been the most avid at giving Zhen Xiaoyan suggestions on new dishes, and that arguably counted as coaching her on cooking, but if he were to do it himself they all knew he most likely would fail terribly.

Even though Ye Lang’s cooking was okay, that was all there was!

Naturally, implied into context, just because Ye Lang was coaching her on her culinary skills, Zhen Xiaoyan was still far superior.

A person who teaches doesn’t have to know much, a person who knows much doesn’t mean they’re good at teaching. It was a simple logic, but was it really what Ye Lang was?

The answer to that, only Ye Lang knew.

“With Xiaoyan it’s undeniable. But these are two different things. In terms of cultivation, is that really so?” Ye Zhiqing calmly rebuked his logic. Cooking and martial arts or magic were clearly a couple of different fields.

Under such circumstances, most people would be baffled by his answer but would restrain themselves from further questioning, naturally assuming that he was just a good teacher. But that would not apply to Ye Zhiqing, as she would characteristically cut to the chase.

“It’s true! I have not achieved Tian level! don’t forget, I’m just a zero-attribute good-for-nothing,” Ye Lang chuckled.

“……”

Zero-attribute was a fact about him that everyone seemed to have forgotten by now, owing to the fact that it hardly dented his capabilities, not to mention his superior alchemy skills.

Good-for-nothing? If he was then there was hardly anyone out there that wasn’t.

Giving it some thought, Ye Zhiqing seemed satisfied with his answer. She felt that Ye Lang understandably would have a hard time achieving Tian level anyway, not to mention he had already admitted that he had not.

She also chose to believe that Ye Lang would not lie about it, especially in front of Ye Lanyu and the rest.

What everyone seemed to neglect however, was that Ye Lang might not have achieved Tian level cultivation, but that didn’t mean he was incapable of going head to head with a Tian level cultivator!

That was one of the biggest traits that distinguished him from everyone else, and one of his lesser known sides.

As someone who had yet achieved Tian level, he thought it was nothing but a label set by the mainland. That naturally did not apply to Ye Lang and was borderline cynical in attempting to measure his capabilities with such.

Nevertheless, the topic ended right then as they all began feasting on their meals, enjoyed a little chat after, and headed back to their individual rooms for a good nights’ rest.

As for Ye Zhiqing, she presumably had already achieved breakthrough a few days ago, and exactly because of that, they were certain that their time was just around the corner.

The same day, Ye Lang stared blankly at the unrefined wooden structure that had begun to resemble a boat. He figured that if he implanted an alchemy tool that he had recently created, it would work like icing on a cake.

This was a groundbreaking creation of a boat, one that would change the tides of history. One that was a miracle in itself!

Naturally, to create a miracle would require an immense amount of time, which was what Ye Lang was willing to give. After all, it had been seven to eight months since the project began, and yet until now the boat was still only halfway from completion.
