Jessica happily makes her signature dish, Chowder. She just boils all ingredients like Milk, Shrimp, Vegetables, and a big red Chilli pepper that is very ominous. The spicy and sweet meal makes her happy and well fed. Zhang Jiao is currently cultivating. He is absorbing the untainted qi around the air. This increases his cultivation base significantly due to the quality of the qi.
"Hey Jiao. Have a meal." Jessica said as she hands out a bowl of Chowder. Zhang Jiao said, "I have no need of eating. The Food Pill is enough for my hunger." Jessica pities him, which is actually shocking to Zhang Jiao. "Just one spoonful. I promise you will like it." said Jessica hopefully to convince Zhang Jiao. He is hesitant but he humbles Jessica and holds the bowl.
"This is a strange Mortal Food. It contains... wait... This soup... This elixirs... What abomination is this?!" said Zhang Jiao while in a state of shock. He is shocked about the fact that most of the ingredients used in this Chowder are all elixirs that are commonly used in alchemy. Zhang Jiao looks at Jessica with disbelief. "That Mortal is shameless." he commented with disgust.
He couldn't afford to eat the Chowder. Ungrateful. Jessica is very speechless. "I'm sorry..." she said weakly. This turned awkward for the both of them. Zhang Jiao continues to cultivate and Jessica, checks the system about her stats and skills.
Moments later, Zhang Jiao breaks the silence. "Who are you really?" he asked. "What's up with you?" replied Jessica. "You have the ability to use the elements to your advantage without qi. You also know how to find secret realms and how to unlock them. And let's talk about your actions. As I can see, you smile like demons do, whenever you fight, recklessly and brutally. Am I right to assume that you are not human?" he said out loud.
Never such thought crossed in Jessica's mind. But thinking about it, Zhang Jiao's last sentence rings true. She is truly enjoying every moment for the sake of getting stronger. "Does anyone remind you that you're a genius, Jiang?" she asked sarcastically. "Yes, I am." he answered proudly.
"There is this one show I always watch while I was a child. It is simply about a fantasy about magic and kingdoms. I used to believe that I can have them and get rid of all evil around the world. How wrong I was when it was not real. Until this happened. I can use magic. It was really messed up when I remember how I obtained it." she said based on her childhood.
Zhang Jiao is interested in "Magic". The power that Jessica can use. He asks for it. Jessica does not really understand how magic works but she knows the basic concept of it. She explains that magic is used to control the force of nature through the manipulation of the mana in the air. People who can see the blue floating orbs can absorb mana to their channel which is usually found in the stomach and manipulate it with a medium. Jessica uses her own body as an example of a medium.
Zhang Jiao has the grasp of Jessica's common knowledge of magic. Using this and comparing it with cultivation, Zhang Jiao gets an enlightenment. He tries to manipulate his qi to form a flame. Another is a ball of water, a gust of wind, a luminous light, a black hole. This makes Jessica scream.
"How in the world is that possible?!" she asked loudly. "You're body is indeed a Mortal's, but I see that you have the talent to ascend to the heavens. Be proud of it, Mortal." said Zhang Jiao as he playfully experiments his version of "Magic". "But I want to be a Mage, not to be a Cultivator." said Jessica. During enlightenment, Zhang Jiao is ready for the trial of the heavens, in order to breakthrough to a higher realm.
