If they weren't mistaken, what Ye Xiruo was holding was a pill cauldron! Wasn't that the lifeblood of an alchemist? If an ordinary person even touched it, wouldn't the alchemist risk their life?

Now, this precious alchemy cauldron is being used by Ye Xiruo as an oven to bake cakes, and it seems she's even using her precious spiritual energy. This world is too fantastical; this can't be real.

If Ye Xiruo were like this, where would he find even a trace of the nobility of a master alchemist? He's just too down-to-earth, isn't he?

“Junior Sister is a spirit chef, you are in luck today,” Zishu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ye."

Ye Xiruo activated her Fire Control Technique, using her mental power to control the meat patties within the greenery. Five minutes later, one after another, large, golden, translucent meat patties flew out of the greenery and landed on the cutting board. They looked enticing and smelled delicious.

Everyone couldn't help but sniff; the smell was simply intoxicating.

The expressions of the Tai brothers, Tai Yanli and Tai Yanheng, were priceless. The young master of the Pill King Palace was actually a spirit chef, so talented! They really envied Xiu Qiyu.

Chi Yi and the others, who had been forced to mine for several years, were practically drooling. Since becoming miners, they had never eaten a hot meal, and having a fasting pill was already a blessing.

If Ye Xiruo and the others were indeed their lucky stars, perhaps the poison in their bodies could really be cured? Chi Yi and the others felt a little more hopeful.

"They're ready to eat, enjoy them while they're hot." One pancake per person might not be enough, so Xiu Qiyu's fingertips flashed with sword light, and all the pancakes were divided in half, making forty pieces, just enough for each person to have half a pancake.

As soon as it was opened, the meat filling mixed with scallions, ginger, and garlic released a rich aroma, and everyone couldn't help but take a big bite.

The outer dough, made with spiritual water and spiritual eggs, is incredibly crispy and chewy. When mixed with the meat filling inside, it's absolutely delicious.

Ye Xiruo lifted the lid of the soup pot, added chopped green onions, star anise, fennel, salt and other seasonings, turned down the heat and continued to simmer.

"Little Leaf, come and try the pancakes you made."

Xiu Qiyu, holding a pancake, appeared behind Ye Xiruo without anyone noticing.

Ye Xiruo took a bite from Xiu Qiyu's hand and said, "This meat is not bad. It has a mixed texture of pork and rabbit meat."

"It's because of your good cooking skills."

"You eat first, I'll finish making the rest of the pancakes."

"Okay, then have another bite."

"Okay, have one more bite."

Everyone was busy eating meat pies and didn't notice the two of them showing affection.

The six chefs over there had already prepared all the meat patties, greased them, and arranged them neatly on the cutting board.

This group of chefs with obsessive-compulsive disorder is actually quite adorable.

Ye Xiruo continued baking the cakes, baking three batches in a row until all the cakes were cooked.

"Little Yezi, come and rest for a while." Xiu Qiyu felt sorry for her.

"I'm fine, Brother Xiu Qi."

The pancake was bigger than Ye Xiruo's face. Ye Xiruo took a pancake and started eating.

It's been so long since I've had a proper meal. This bite is so incredibly touching.

If even Ye Xiruo is like this, let alone the unfortunate cultivators like Chi Yi. This cake is really delicious. After eating it, a small amount of spiritual energy will be absorbed and refined directly along the meridians.

A spirit chef! It really is a spirit chef; the way these people look at Ye Xiruo is completely different now.

"Little Yezi, this is truly the best meat pie I've ever eaten in my life, really!" Hua Rong swore to the heavens.

"That's too hypocritical. Everyone knows that Young Master Hua grew up eating delicacies from land and sea."

"I'm so tired of this. This simple meat pie is better than any of those delicacies."

"It must be because you're hungry. Right now, you'd probably think even a cornbread would taste delicious."

"Little Leaf, you don't believe me? I'm telling the truth."

Zishu couldn't stop eating: "Junior Sister, it's really delicious."

"Perhaps the meat itself is just good. I'm happy that you like it."

Both Princes Tai Yanheng and Tai Yanli nodded: "Hua Rong is right, it really is delicious."

"Night Alchemist, you are absolutely amazing."

"Thank you all for coming. There's still soup in the pot; we should be able to drink it now."

On the second day of their arrival in Mo City, this simple meal left everyone feeling satisfied and touched.

Even though the pork rib soup didn't have many side dishes, it was still snapped up by everyone.

Xiu Qiyu returned with two bowls of soup, her face cold.

"Little Leaf, try it."

"good."

Ye Liusha was still cultivating, so Ye Xiruo asked Hua Rong to take the two meat pies back to Ye Liusha to eat when he woke up.

After eating, Ye Xiruo felt sleepy and wanted to lie down and take a good nap, but Xiu Qiyu stopped her.

"Little Yezi, you've used up a lot of energy today. Now you need to recover quickly, as you have two more assessments tomorrow. These are related to spirit crystals, spirit crystals."

"Ah, right, spirit crystals."

Ye Xiruo was instantly wide awake. She got up, swallowed a few Nourishing Spirit Pills, and began to meditate to restore her mental energy.

The same goes for Zishu and Yingxun. Tomorrow's test is important for all three of them.

Those who had eaten the meat pie had a bit more confidence in life. Perhaps surviving wasn't as difficult as they had imagined? Let's go out and see what happens tomorrow; there's bound to be a way.

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Ye Xiruo and the others went to Youranju. This time, as soon as they arrived at the door, they were warmly invited in by the waiters.

"Four distinguished guests, this way please."

Thank you.

This time, they arrived at the third floor without any hindrance, the place where they had tested yesterday.

Old Wang and Old Ge arrived with solemn expressions, but upon seeing the dead body, they immediately broke into wide smiles.

"My three young friends have finally arrived."

Ye Xiruo nodded: "We are all people of integrity, and naturally we would not break our promise without a reason."

"Young friend Ye is indeed a man of character. I wonder if the three of you are all prepared for the upcoming test?"

"Ready, ready to start anytime."

"Then, please follow me."

Ye Xiruo and the others were led into another room, which contained four tables and chairs. A sense of foreboding flashed through Ye Xiruo's mind—could this be an exam?

This is the Azure Continent, not the Taiyan Continent. Who knows if the pills and elixirs they're familiar with will have changed their names, or if a cat will just meow. Or maybe some kind of mutation will occur?

Oh no, this is really the end.

Ye Xiruo and the others exchanged glances, and they all saw the word "despair" on each other's faces. They had planned everything, but they never expected that there would be an exam.

"Don't worry, the three of you. The second round of the exam will have a total of twenty questions and two hours of practice. It will mainly test your basic skills, so there shouldn't be any problems."
