Just as I was thinking this, the system suddenly spoke.

"Now, here's the mission: A cook who can't save the dying and the wounded is not a good cook.

"Host, please learn how to make Biqing porridge (semi-finished product).

"Reward: Issued upon completion of the mission."

Lu Xianyun immediately smiled. This system was quite user-friendly and considerate! Now she was beginning to doubt whether the system's initial promise of humane destruction if the mission wasn't completed was meant to scare her.

"But system, why is this a semi-finished product? Why don't you give me the recipe for the finished product?"

"Because the host material is incomplete."

Lu Xianyun heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in the system's words.

She felt like the system was just about to say, "We didn't even want to give you this recipe! If it weren't for your urgent situation, we'd make an exception for you, and you wouldn't even be able to learn this!"

Lu Xianyun also knew that he should quit while he was ahead, so he said nothing and hurried to the kitchen.

Although he thought it was just a bowl of porridge and shouldn't be difficult, Lu Xianyun still took the initiative to enter the virtual kitchen.

I looked at the recipe and it was a little different from what I had imagined. It wasn't just a matter of throwing petals into the porridge.

The petals need to be picked, ground to extract the juice, then filtered finely and only the juice is poured into the porridge.

The time to pour it into the porridge is also important. It must be when the rice grains have become soft but have not yet completely bloomed.

Only by pouring in the Biqing flower juice at this time can the juice be cooked into the rice grains and combined with the spiritual rice to exert more powerful power.

When Lu Xianyun saw this request, he was glad that he had entered the virtual kitchen first.

The most difficult thing to master is the timing of pouring the Biqing flower juice. She needs to practice several times.

Fortunately, the time in the virtual kitchen is long, so it doesn’t matter even if you cook porridge a few more times.

Finally, Lu Xianyun successfully made it in the virtual kitchen.

She couldn't help but ask again, "System, this Biqing Flower is only effective for those below the Jindan stage. Qiu Jichen has become like this, will this porridge still have any effect on her?"

"The host's younger brother was also a golden elixir, and you saved him with just the knot soup."

Lu Xianyun heard the contempt in the system's tone again.

She should stop talking and go out to make a bowl of porridge.

When Lu Xianyun went out with the cooked porridge, Qiu Jichen's companions rushed towards Lu Xianyun with spirit stones.

Lu Xianyun was stunned.

Suddenly she realized something and looked over the counter.

Sure enough, there was another sign there.

Biqing porridge: five low-grade spirit stones.

Wow, this price is quite affordable! This Biqing flower was found next to the nest of the Bicai Qingfeng chicken, so even the prices are similar.

The spirit stone was stuffed into Lu Xianyun's arms, and they hurriedly carried the porridge to feed the people. This made Lu Xianyun feel a little embarrassed, as he felt that she was taking advantage of the situation.

In fact, she really didn't know there was an extra sign on it!

Qiu Jichen was having trouble swallowing, and it was very hard for him to drink a bowl of porridge. However, it was obvious that Qiu Jichen knew that everyone was helping him, and he was drinking it desperately.

However, drinking slowly also has its advantages. With each sip, the porridge would immediately turn into spiritual energy to repair Qiu Jichen's body. This meant that they could see the effect with every sip.

While others were feeding porridge, Lu Xianyun turned around and started talking to Lu Muyun.

"What happened outside just now? What's the situation now?"

Lu Muyun said: "Someone has surrounded the entire Bell and Drum City with a formation. This formation can absorb people's spiritual energy and then use it to attack others."

"Who did you attack?"

She knew everything else, but this was the key point.

"They attacked Liu Qianmo, the guy who was quite powerful in the Golden Tomb. Originally, Qiu Jichen had nothing to do with it, but he insisted on joining in the fun. Now, the formation has started to attack him too."

Liu Qianmo is here?

After Lu Muyun said this, Lu Xianyun became even more certain that this might really be Liu Qianmo's disaster.

It’s just that Qiu Jichen doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the original novel! This is the male protagonist’s own calamity.

So now not only has the location changed, but even the characters have changed?

"What happened next?" Lu Xianyun continued to ask. She wanted to see if the later part matched the original.

"Originally, this formation was difficult to break. Then a woman arrived and attacked from the outside, but several people appeared to stop her. She then cast a large spell that enveloped the entire city, affecting those who were casting the spell in secret.

"Liu Qianmo and I, one in the open and one in the dark, took the opportunity to break the formation. But the woman seemed to have exhausted her spiritual power and was captured by those who controlled the formation. Liu Qianmo chased after her, probably to rescue her."

When Lu Xianyun heard this, he realized that except for the two variables of Qiu Jichen and his younger brother, everything else was similar to the original.

"By the way, did you see clearly who set up the formation?" Lu Xianyun asked again.

"I can't see clearly." Lu Muyun shook his head. "We were still in the formation at the time. It was pitch black and we couldn't see the situation outside clearly. It was good enough that we could see clearly whether it was a man or a woman."

It would be fine if he couldn't see clearly. Lu Xianyun asked this question just to confirm some guesses in his mind.

Before the incident in Bell and Drum City, An Tong came to inform them and asked them to leave quickly. To be honest, she didn't believe An Tong's words, saying that she had received the news in advance.
