Zhao Qiansun was a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and just an ordinary outer sect disciple in his sect. He was "fortunate" to be selected to join the large army attacking Jinxiu City. However, he was not responsible for fighting but for cooking. His selection was due to his excellent culinary skills, which were highly praised by important figures.
Logically speaking, these cultivators had already reached the stage where they did not need to eat daily. But with the army marching out and the need to drink heavily before battle, how could they go without dishes to accompany their wine? Thus, Zhao Qiansun was summoned.
Zhao Qiansun's name was quite interesting. It was said that his father's surname was Zhao, his mother's surname was Qian, and he had a godfather whose surname was Sun. Thus, not long after his birth when it was time to name him, his father, on a whim, decided on this name for him.
