Mu Hanyan glanced at Ling Baobao in surprise. She hadn't expected Ling Baobao to refuse so quickly. You know, for a swordsman, the most terrifying thing is being stuck in a bottleneck, unable to break through. If they can't find the right opportunity, they might struggle to make any progress for decades. As long as they could get a chance, they wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, even five or eight years, let alone three.
Even though Ling Baobao was a weapon refiner, the same principle applied to him. Unable to use the hand gestures freely, he was even more miserable than a swordsman stuck at a bottleneck. Mu Cheng and the others were also surprised. They had expected him to be overwhelmed with tears of gratitude towards Mu Hanyan, but he showed no appreciation at all.
"What important matter do you have?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"Eat! I heard that the fried stinky tofu in Sishui City is the best, and the snow-capped camel hump in Dongluo City is a heavenly delicacy. There's also the hand-shredded whole lamb in Mobei City and the hundred-poultry banquet in Tianling Peak. They're all world-class delicacies. I haven't tried them all yet, so why should I waste my time here?" Ling Baobao counted on his fingers and listed them all.
Mu Hanyan wiped his forehead. The important thing he was talking about was actually eating. For the sake of eating, he could even put aside the art of refining weapons. Why didn't he realize that this guy was a big foodie before?
Beside them, Wu Qiyun and Yan Yuchu also shook their heads secretly. Growing up in a wealthy family, eating good food was certainly no big deal for them. However, swordsmen were focused on their training and did not indulge in food. To them, giving up comprehending the hand seals and neglecting their training just for food was simply unreasonable.
"Is eating really that important to you?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"It's not very important actually, but my mother once said that if you don't try all the delicacies in the world, it will be a great regret in your life. Although I don't like to eat very much, my mother's words can never be wrong." When mentioning his mother, Ling Baobao's face was full of respect.
Mu Hanyan finally understood that it wasn't Ling Baobao who was the foodie, but his mother.
"My third master also said that even if we travel thousands of miles and taste thousands of delicious foods, we must never waste our time." Ling Baobao added.
"That saying seems to be: travel ten thousand miles and read ten thousand books." Wu Qiyun corrected weakly.
"Oh? Is that what you say? But that's what my third master taught me. Could he have remembered it wrong again? And my second master, fourth master, fifth master, second uncle, and seventh ancestor all said the same thing. If you want to achieve deep cultivation, you must first fill your stomach. If you don't even pay attention to your meals, how can you possibly pay attention to your cultivation?" Ling Baobao thought about it and didn't care whether his third master's words were right or not. He said excitedly.
Mu Hanyan and the others were all confused. It turned out that not only his mother was a foodie, but all his masters and his entire family were foodies.
"Okay, I won't force you." Facing a guy who would throw aside his cultivation bottleneck just for food, Mu Hanyan was speechless.
Ling Baobao didn't owe her anything, and she had no reason to force him to stay. As for the alchemist's problem, she should go back and find another solution.
"Then I'll leave first. Can you give me these raw stones so I can try them again?" Ling Baobao asked.
"Take it, take as much as you want," Mu Hanyan said generously. The chance of refining the raw stone into meteoric gold was too small, so it was not worth much. If he could really refine meteoric gold, it would be his luck.
