Li Jun was cast out of his family after his father's death. Bullied by his cousins and robbed by his uncle, his upbringing was less than pleasant. Despite that, Li Jun tried his best to live a quiet life; he kept to himself and worked hard to earn a living.

However, fate dealt a cruel blow when a vicious attack left him unable to work again. Li Jun fell into despair. It was only through the selfless sacrifice of his devoted mother that a glimmer of redemption emerged as she sold off her final sliver of wealth to afford him a chance at a better life.

Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious silver ring, seemingly tossed from the hands of celestials, descended from the heavens. Upon receiving the celestial gift, Li Jun's life took a surprising turn.

As the layers of deceit peeled away, Li Jun found himself thrust into a web of lies that began to unravel before him. Compelled to untangle the enigmatic circumstances surrounding his father's demise and the orchestrated misfortunes that befell him, Li Jun strode on through the world of cultivation as the heavens trembled at his feet. He had seen a whisper of despair and vowed to never glance upon it again.

The Black Star Monarch

The knee high field of grass waved as the passing breeze forced it to submit beneath it. Li Jun waited, resting his back against the stone bricked well. He hadn't agreed on a time or place to meet with Sun Yang. However, he figured that he would show up at their previous meeting spot eventually.

He didn't wait long until he heard footsteps forcing their way through the thick grass and branches snapping as they pushed away wild-growing branches from the thorny bushes.

He heard a hushed whisper before catching sight of three disciples in light blue robes as they revealed themselves with weapons drawn.

"What are you doing here?" One of the outer court disciples stepped forward and pointed his sword toward Li Jun.

"Waiting for your boss." He said.

A talented chef.
