Nine Saints Sect, Holy Son Hall, Back Garden.
Gao Yan was lying on a chair, sunbathing.
At this moment, Qin Xiangxue personally brought over a bowl of soup that was as clear as white water.
"Your Highness, this is an eight-treasure soup that the new cook spent three days simmering. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"
"Yeah?"
Gao Yan sat up, took the soup bowl and took a sip. His eyes lit up immediately. He had previously concealed his identity and drunk a lot of soup in the top restaurants in the major cities of Zhongzhou.
But in terms of taste, it's quite different from the soup in front of me!
So, after quickly finishing the bowl of soup, he said with satisfaction, "Xiangxue, where did you find this cook? Her soup-making skills are absolutely amazing!"
Qin Xiangxue is the head steward of the Holy Son Palace. Knowing that her master Gao Yan enjoys food, she naturally pays more attention to this aspect.
She chuckled and said, “Your Highness, it’s quite a coincidence. A few days ago, I went to the True Inheritance Hall on business and suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. So I followed the scent and found a newly initiated female True Inheritance disciple cooking. After testing her, I found that her cooking skills were excellent, especially her soup-making skills. So, after getting her permission, I brought her back to the Holy Son’s Palace!”
"Well done!"
He praised her highly, then tossed Qin Xiangxue a bottle of pills meant for Nascent Soul cultivators, before asking, "What's her name, and what's her cultivation level?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
After accepting the pill, Qin Xiangxue first expressed her gratitude before introducing the person: "The other party is called Liu Qinxian. She joined our Nine Saints Sect a few months ago. She has an ordinary physique, but she possesses a fire spirit root and has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"She broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage not long after joining the sect. Did she have any cultivation before joining the sect?" Gao Yan asked.
Qin Xiangxue nodded: "That's right. She was originally the direct descendant of a Golden Core Immortal Cultivation family in the territory of the Xuanming Sect. Later, the Xuanming Sect was destroyed, and the territory where her family was located also became our territory. She joined our Nine Saints Sect when we opened our mountain gates. Because her family originally served the Xuanming Sect, no elder has accepted her as a disciple yet!"
"I see!"
Gao Yan suddenly realized that although the other party had an ordinary physique, she had a single spiritual root. Such talent should have been directly accepted as a disciple by the true elders, but because her family had served the Xuanming Sect, she naturally had to be examined!
Otherwise, the disciples of the true elders wouldn't come to be his cook!
The next moment, Gao Yan said, "In that case, reward her with a bottle of spirit pills and two thousand low-grade spirit stones, and she will be in charge of preparing dinner tonight!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go and convey your message immediately!"
Qin Xiangxue took the bowl and left. A short while later, she arrived at a palace that had been transformed into a kitchen.
"Sister Xiangxue, you're back! How was the soup, Your Highness?"
A young girl in a blue dress came forward, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Qin Xiangxue smiled and nodded: "Congratulations, Qin Fairy! His Highness praised your Eight Treasure Soup and has put you in charge of tonight's meals. Oh, and this is His Highness's reward for you!"
As she spoke, Qin Xiangxue took out a bottle of Human Spirit Pills and two thousand low-grade spirit stones!
"Wow, Your Highness is so generous!"
Liu Qinxian was pleasantly surprised. She was quite surprised that she was rewarded with a bottle of Human Spirit Pill and two thousand low-grade spirit stones for just making a bowl of soup.
"His Highness is always generous. As long as you improve your cooking skills, you will receive even more rewards if His Highness is satisfied!"
Qin Xiangxue reminded her.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiangxue, I will definitely work hard to improve my cooking skills!" Liu Qinxian quickly assured her, and at the same time, expressed her gratitude to Qin Xiangxue.
It has to be said.
Liu Qinxian indeed possesses a talent for cooking that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Having been at the Holy Son Palace for just over a month, her culinary skills are already on par with those of the top chefs in the Central Plains. Moreover, her soup-making skills have also improved significantly.
So Gao Yan had to drink a bowl of soup she made every day.
Gao Yan, having no shortage of elixirs and spirit stones, was naturally generous with his rewards.
Therefore, Liu Qinxian received many rewards over the course of the month.
This made her work even harder to improve her cooking skills!
That day.
Liu Qinxian is in the kitchen researching a new dish.
Suddenly, someone came to inform her that her friend had come to her door and asked if she wanted to see her!
A short while later.
Liu Qinxian saw a handsome young man dressed in the uniform of an inner disciple outside the Holy Son Hall.
"Ye Ming, how did you find your way here?"
Liu Qinxian asked, somewhat puzzled.
She and Ye Ming were both admitted to the Nine Saints Sect in the same batch. However, she had a single spiritual root and became a true disciple directly, while Ye Ming had three spiritual roots and only became an outer disciple.
However, he was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining when he joined the Nine Saints Sect.
Unexpectedly, after several months, he also reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Qin Xian, I heard you've become Gao Yan's cook?"
Ye Ming asked in a deep voice, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Ye Ming, you cannot address the Holy Son by his name!" Liu Qinxian's expression darkened slightly.
"So what? A name is just for calling someone. If he targets me just because I called his name, then he's just petty!"
Ye Ming said dismissively.
"Fine, I don't want to argue with you. Just tell me, what do you want from me?" Liu Qinxian was getting impatient. The Ye family and the Liu family were old friends. Although Ye Ming only had three spiritual roots, he was the only son of the Ye family patriarch.
In addition, the head of the Ye family and her father were sworn brothers, so they were betrothed when they were young. However, she did not like Ye Ming, but she dared not disobey her father's orders.
