Chapter 40 Around the Hot Pot
The disciples of Qianqiu Pavilion were divided into five pots.
The meat slices were put into the pot, cooked, dipped in sauce, and then An Yiru put them into her mouth and chewed them.
It was very fresh slices of monster meat, cut into thin slices, and put into the gurgling red soup. It was cooked in just a few breaths, and then coated with a salty, fresh and refreshing sauce. The taste was layered, one layer of freshness, one layer of salty and sweetness, and one layer of spiciness that made people swallow their saliva.
With every bite, you can feel the growth of your cultivation. That feeling, as if money is falling from the sky, is really addictive.
An Yiru ate so much that her eyes were about to squint.
Sui Yan added more food to her plate while apologizing to her: "I'm sorry for scaring you."
An Yiru squinted her eyes and shed tears.
When she was captured by Sui Yan before, she thought she would face the same fate as when she was captured by Buxu Sect.
Fortunately, the cultivators of Lingxiao Sect are pretty nice.
Not only did they not force her to treat her injuries, they also shared delicious food with them.
Not only did he give it to them, but after An Yiru finished eating, she looked around and saw an acquaintance.
It was Yun Chi Gua from Danyun Palace. He was also feasting here, but he didn’t eat hot pot, he had barbecue.
At Danyun Palace, there are restaurants serving barbecue, hotpot, and desserts. They have all kinds of dishes.
Probably because there aren't that many pots, it's said that the two food cultivators of Lingxiao Sect are best at making hot pot. The weapon cultivators of Lingxiao Sect are already rushing to make new pots, but it's really not easy to eat and refine weapons at the same time.
I finally made five new pots and gave them all as an apology.
Yun Chigua looked at An Yiru with a very subtle look.
However, he also felt that An Yiru's current situation was very delicate.
Before entering the secret realm, An Yiru was not as tall and strong as he is now. If it weren't for the fact that cultivators can identify people by their breath, he almost wouldn't have recognized that this was An Yiru.
When he looked back, he also found that the disciples of Qianqiu Pavilion had grown up to look like the elders in their sect.
I don’t know what they experienced in the secret place, but I feel like there must be an interesting story hidden in it.
Yun Chigua grabbed a handful of skewers and went over to ask An Yiru about the situation.
An Yiru grabbed the skewers that Yun Chigua brought and started talking about the past.
"You know what we, the alchemists, have never learned to fight. The sect leader lied to us, saying that we were entering the secret realm just to collect herbs. We really thought we were here to collect herbs, so we came in with the herb bag on our backs. But do you know what we encountered? Next to every spiritual herb there was a companion demon beast. Some even had more than one, a family of three. The grade of those demon beasts was just as high as what I'm eating now! So high! We don't know any combat techniques, so we, the alchemists, can only fight those demon beasts in hand-to-hand combat. Do you know what hand-to-hand combat is? Damn! If you laugh again, I won't tell you!"
Yun Chigua straightened his expression and said, "Go ahead and tell me. I won't laugh anymore."
"You better be."
An Yiru glared at him.
Not to mention, she looks so burly and strong now that she can really intimidate people when she glares at them. Yun Chigua feels completely different when she glares at him now than before.
Not only did he straighten his expression, he also straightened his sitting posture. An Yiru was satisfied and then told him what had happened before.
"Then later on, we were alchemy practitioners after all, and we knew the human body's tendons and bones very well. We took a lot of medicine, grew a lot of muscles, and were able to fight them. The monsters couldn't take medicine when they were beaten, so we could use medicine to wear them down. Gradually, the monsters in the secret realm no longer posed much of a threat to us, so we started to heal illnesses and save people in the secret realm. We saved many, many people - what are you laughing at?"
"Cough, I cough."
"oh."
What made him so confident that he dared to pretend to cough in front of Dan Xiu?
An Yiru ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls and ignored him.
Xie Xuan suddenly came over and asked, "Do you still have that pill that makes you grow a lot of muscle?"
She really needs this thing.
Aren't sword cultivators training their muscles from morning till night? She hadn't expected that taking pills could actually build muscle. If she could get a pill like that, wouldn't she be able to save a lot of time training her muscles and focus on honing her swordsmanship?
"Yes."
"Can you give me some? I'll trade this with you."
Xie Xuan grabbed out a handful of lightning-inducing talismans.
An Yiru waved her hands repeatedly: "No need to change it, I'll give it to you."
She was still eating the delicious food made by Lingxiao Sect, so there was no reason for her to take other people's things.
They still had quite a few of these pills left, so Xie Xuan took one to test the effect. Perhaps because she already had a lot of muscles, the effect was not obvious after she took it.
But it did have some effect. After Xie Xuan calmed down, he could still feel that his muscles were tighter.
Eating more would probably have a much greater effect. Xie Xuan turned the medicine bottle over and poured the medicine into his palm, then grabbed a handful of pills and was about to put them into his mouth.
An Yiru panicked: "That's not how you take pills! Shut up!"
Xie Xuan's mouth was suddenly covered by Sui Yan.
Sui Yan put the pills back into the bottle for her, handed the bottle back to her, and then sat down to listen to An Yiru's speech.
An Yiru told them some common knowledge about elixirs.
You cannot take too many pills. Most cultivators know this. All medicines are poisonous. Taking too many pills is not much different from taking poison. The difference is that poison usually has an antidote, but pills have no antidote.
However, elixirs usually won't be very toxic even if taken in excess, just like the elixir in Xie Xuan's hand. It will also be toxic if taken in excess. An Yiru doesn't know what the specific consequences will be, as no one has tried it yet, but the consequences should probably not be particularly serious.
And that’s not all. Unlike medicines in the mortal world, many elixirs contain elixir poison.
When an ordinary medicinal herb is upgraded to a spiritual medicine in the wild, it will have basic emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and has the possibility of transforming into a demon. However, if it is picked by a cultivator, this possibility will be interrupted. The resentment of the spiritual medicine will flow into the elixir, forming elixir poison. If the cultivator accumulates too much elixir poison in his body, it may even cause damage to his spiritual roots.
Therefore, the pills sold by Qianqiu Pavilion are usually divided into different qualities from low to high. The highest quality ones are non-toxic pills made from the spiritual herbs grown in Qianqiu Pavilion's own medicine fields, while the low quality ones are made by mixing the herbs collected from others with some of their own.
Once, a supplier gave Qianqiu Pavilion a magical herb that could run away. Qianqiu Pavilion has only dared to offer it until now. It is unknown how toxic this magical herb will be when it is refined.
"Can I go to Qianqiu Pavilion to see this magical medicine?"
Xie Xuan was very interested in this.
How does the elixir of life move? Does it use its extensive root system? Does it split its roots into two and use them to walk like a human? Or does it simply wrap itself up in its roots and roll onto the road?
It could also be flapping its leaves and jumping around. Xie Xuan found it very interesting when he thought about it.
When An Yiru was explaining this common sense, many people gathered around. When they heard Xie Xuan ask this, they also looked at An Yiru with anticipation.
An Yiru nodded in agreement: "Of course, I will take you to see it after we get out of the secret realm."
Yun Chigua touched his nose.
An Yiru, the senior sister of Qianqiu Pavilion, had just arrived here not long ago, but she had already become friends with the disciples of Lingxiao Sect, making it seem that he, the senior brother of Danyun Palace, had no social skills.
He also had to attract the attention of the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.
However, as a traditional sect of Dharma practitioners, Danyun Palace does not have as interesting stories as Qianqiu Pavilion. They just enter the sect normally, participate in the competition normally, try to please the disciples in charge normally, compete with each other for family background, cultivation and resources within the sect normally, climb up normally, and everything goes on normally.
The only abnormal thing is probably that their managing elders have changed many times in the past ten years, and now they no longer have to please the managing disciples like before.
In fact, there is something very abnormal, but the disciples of Lingxiao Sect may not be interested in this matter, so Yun Chigua is not in a position to say it out loud.
The leader of Lingxiao Sect was once the owner of Yuechu Tower in Danyun Palace. When she stayed in Danyun Palace, she also taught some disciples of Danyun Palace how to practice. He was one of these disciples of Danyun Palace.
There should be no disciple of Lingxiao Sect who has not received guidance from the sect master. After all, there are so few of them. Before entering the secret realm, many sects had received the news and avoided Lingxiao Sect as much as possible in the secret realm. The disciples of Lingxiao Sect are more valued by their teachers than the direct disciples of other sects, and they are not people they can afford to offend.
Of course, apart from him, he is the eldest brother and the face of Danyun Palace after all, so he can still afford to offend the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.
However, in front of such a disciple of Lingxiao Sect, there was nothing to say about the advice given to him by the owner of Yuechu Tower in the past.
Yun Chigua was a little envious.
He just followed An Yiru and said, "You are also welcome to come to Danyun Palace to play."
After all, he is also a very normal senior brother, who can use his influence to have the disciples of Lingxiao Sect included in the list of distinguished guests of Danyun Palace.
Qiu Lu, who was boiling meat rolls, heard him say this and asked curiously, "Are the caves in Danyun Palace also built on the clouds?"
Danyun Palace sounds very much like a sect that lives in the clouds.
The disciples of Lingxiao Sect were all very curious about this question. They themselves lived in the clouds and could see the clouds rolling under their feet when they went out. Normally, they had to take a flying boat to see them.
When Qiu Lu was out there subduing demons and monsters, she had visited some other sects. Many of these sects looked just like Taoist temples built by mortals. Later, she met some friends from aristocratic families. When she visited their homes, she had never seen a sect like Lingxiao Sect that liked to build caves in the clouds.
Could it be that the Lingxiao Sect is the only one in the world of cultivation that likes to do this? They're all cultivators, so why do they all prefer to stay on the ground?
Qiu Lu once suspected whether there was some kind of geomantic energy on the ground that could increase the cultivator's cultivation speed after contact. It was not until she discovered that her teacher was extremely powerful and that if the teacher said there was no geomantic energy, then it really did not exist that she stopped doubting.
But it's really strange that Lingxiao Sect is the only sect that likes Shangtian.
