Shen Yizhi: "Ah? How could your master--" Before she could finish her words, she had already realized that Shen Xing must have said something good for her in front of his master.
Shen Xing sold out his master without hesitation, and told her how he had persuaded him before, and then reminded her: "My master likes wine and food the most. It just so happens that the wine you brew and the food you cook are very much to his taste. In addition, you have a rare healing spirit root, so my master almost agrees to accept you as his disciple, but he still needs to meet you.
"Don't be nervous when you get in front of him. My master is very easy to get along with. When he accepts you as his disciple, you will be a disciple of the sect and eligible to participate in the secret realm assessment. With your strength, you will definitely be successfully selected. Then we can enter the secret realm together."
Shen Yizi was touched. Even though Xiao Xingxing didn't recognize her, he still cared about her so much. She even had the urge to take off her disguise and tell him her true identity.
But when she thought of Xiao Lizhu, her mind calmed down again.
This is Xiao Lizhu's territory. Once her identity is exposed, she might kill her.
In the world of immortal cultivation where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong, what does it matter if you kill a few low-level cultivators? When they arrived at Hulu Peak, Shen Xing pulled Shen Yizhi off the flying sword and strode towards Xuan Chong Zhenren who was lying on the boulder.
When Xuan Chong Zhenren's drunken eyes looked over, Shen Yizhi couldn't help but get nervous. What if he saw through her disguise? This guy was a Yuanying Great Power.
"Are you the Mo Qing that Xiaoxing was talking about?"
Shen Yizhi nodded quickly, "Yes, senior."
Xuan Chong took a sip of wine and pointed to the back mountain, "Go to the back mountain and catch some fish to grill. If they are grilled well, I will fulfill Xiaoxing's wish and accept you as my apprentice."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Shen Xing was about to follow, but was stopped by Xuan Chong, "This is the teacher's assessment of her, why are you following? Stay here and be quiet."
Shen Xing said carelessly: "Come on, you just want to eat grilled fish, I know you well."
But in the end he didn't follow him, but built a fire on the spot so that Mo Qing could grill later.
Shen Yizi went to the back mountain and carefully caught a few fish from the lake, always being alert to any danger that might suddenly arise. But the lake remained calm until she left with the grilled fish.
Was she overthinking? Did Master Xuan Chong really just ask her to catch fish, rather than taking the opportunity to test her?
After returning home, Shen Yizi processed several fishes neatly, roasting some that needed to be roasted and stewing some that needed to be stewed, and soon a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Master Xuan Chong took a taste, paused for a moment, and then started to eat with relish. Almost all the fish went into his stomach, and Shen Xing only grabbed one.
After eating the grilled fish, drink a bowl of fresh fish soup, which is very delicious.
Master Xuan Chong picked his teeth in a very unpresentable manner and announced casually: "Mo Qing, from now on you will be my second disciple. There are no rules in my Hulu Peak. You can choose a place to open a cave by yourself."
Shen Yizhi was overjoyed: "Yes, Master!"
Xuan Chong asked casually, "What are we having for dinner?"
"How about eating jar meat tonight? Put big chunks of meat and pickled mustard greens in a jar and simmer them slowly over a low fire. Jar meat is the best to go with rice. Add some light side dishes and cook a pot of fish ball soup. What do you think?"
Xuan Chong was already full, but after hearing her description, he felt hungry again. However, he had to be reserved in front of his new disciple.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. It's pretty good." Xuan Chong turned over slowly, and soon he began to snore loudly.
Shen Xing took Shen Yizhi around Hulu Peak and picked a good spot for her with a wide view and great scenery. "You can open your cave here."
"good."
Shen Xing rolled up his sleeves and started working. Shen Yizhi wanted to help, but he refused, "No, just step aside, I'll do it."
Facts have proved that as a gold-type mutant, digging holes in mountains is a simple task for Shen Xing, and Shen Yizhi can only help him.
According to her request, Shen Xing carved out a cave with three bedrooms and a living room for her. The living room is right at the entrance, with an area of 50 to 60 square meters. Anyway, the entire mountain belongs to their lineage, so there is no need to save space.
There are three stone chambers and a bedroom, which is also a place for meditation and practice. It is connected to a large bathroom with a circular pool in it. You can put some hot water in it and lie in it. It will be so comfortable.
One studio is used for reading, making elixirs, etc., and the last room is the kitchen.
As a disciple who was accepted because of his outstanding cooking skills, Shen Yizi felt that he should not forget his roots and should continue to study cooking so that his master could eat happily every day.
Besides, she herself likes to study food.
We have decided to book these rooms for now. If they are not enough in the future, we can always expand them.
The cave has been carved out, and the next step is to decorate it.
Shen Yizi took out furniture, beddings and other daily necessities from his storage bag and put them on the table. If he didn't have any, he would just buy them in the mall. Anyway, these daily necessities were very cheap.
In just one afternoon, a warm and comfortable cave was set up.
Shen Yizhi and Shen Xing looked at each other, and both felt a sense of accomplishment.
When Shen Yizhi saw that it was getting late, she quickly started cooking in the newly decorated kitchen, with Shen Xing helping her.
She was afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, so she made a pot of beef bone soup. After eating the meat, she could use the soup as a base for dipping vegetables.
Xuan Chong smelled the fragrance that was wafting out and felt itchy, so he simply walked into Shen Yizi's cave with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yizhi was serving beef bone soup when he saw his master coming. He hurriedly invited him to sit on the sofa, poured him tea, and brought him some fruit. "Master, please sit for a while. I'll cook two more dishes."
Xuan Chong nodded modestly, "Well, go ahead. I just came to take a look."
Shen Yizi smiled secretly, but didn't expose him and went back to the kitchen to busy himself.
While frying the last dish of stir-fried pork, she used the communication talisman to send a message to Gu Xueting: "Brother Gu, I have taken Xuan Chong as my master and have now settled down in Hulu Peak. I have cooked a lot of dishes tonight and want to celebrate. Would you like to come and eat with us?"
Soon, she received his reply: "No need."
These two simple and cold words, an attitude that keeps people at a distance, are really... difficult to deal with.
When will she be able to marry a handsome man? Thinking about herself disguised as a man, she felt that this was still a long way off.
