The women who were playing cards and mahjong couldn't help but turn their heads to look when they smelled the aroma of the barbecue.
"Hey, the meat skewers in Junior Brother Gao's hand look like they're made from a fourth-tier demonic beast!"
Qin Mi said with some surprise.
The Eastern Wilderness is the domain of the human race, and since humans have lived there for many years, they naturally do not allow the existence of overly powerful demonic beasts.
Therefore, fourth-tier demonic beasts are quite rare in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Yes, Senior Sister Qin, all the skewers are made from fourth-tier demon beast meat, and the taste is absolutely fantastic!"
Yin Yutong replied with a smile, "My junior brother and I made a lot of kebabs yesterday. After we finish playing cards, we'll grill them ourselves. If you really can't resist the craving, I'll have my junior brother bring them over for you to try!"
"Great! I've never eaten the meat of a fourth-tier demon beast before!"
At this moment, Hua Xiyu said happily.
As the aroma of grilled skewers wafted over, the women became somewhat indifferent.
Fortunately, it didn't take long.
Gao Yan then divided the grilled skewers into several plates and brought them over for them to try.
"Wow, this is delicious!"
Hua Xiyu, the youngest and with the lowest cultivation level, was not so reserved. After taking a bite of the kebab, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's absolutely delicious!"
Qin Mi nodded slightly, seemingly nonchalant, but her movements while eating skewers were no slower than anyone else's.
A short while later.
They ate every last skewer on every table.
They looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed!
"I never imagined that one day we would be tempted by the desire for food!" Li Jincheng said in self-reflection.
"Since you're afraid of temptation, then don't eat it!"
Meng Ruyan joked.
"It's too late, I've already been tempted. I'll reflect on my actions after I finish eating!"
"Then what you just said was nonsense, wasn't it?" Qin Mi said jokingly.
"Most of what a person says in their life is nonsense!" Li Jincheng said thoughtfully.
"hehe!"
Meng Ruyan sneered.
"hehe!"
Qin Mi sneered.
"Hehe, I won! I drew the winning tile myself!"
Just then, Yin Yutong, who had just drawn a mahjong tile, looked at the three women with a smile.
"Ugh, this is boring, let's go get some barbecue!" Li Jincheng pushed the mahjong tiles away.
“That’s right, let’s go barbecue first, and play later!” Meng Ruyan added.
"Yutong, we can't play together either, let's go barbecue together!" Qin Mi smiled at Yin Yutong.
Yin Yutong, however, secretly curled her lip and muttered to herself, "Is it really that big of a deal? It's just a three-point hand!"
Time flew by, and it was already evening.
Gao Yan and Yin Yutong personally escorted the Jurchens down the mountain.
Everyone was very satisfied with today's gathering.
There was no discussion of principles or exchange of ideas; they only talked about eating, drinking, and having fun.
At the end of the day, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Moreover, the meat of a fourth-tier monster is really delicious.
Seeing that the women were craving meat, Gao Yan was not stingy and prepared 500 catties for each of them to take back as a return gift.
After all, they brought gifts for Yin Yutong.
"Ruyan, did you have fun today?"
On the way back, Qin Mi flew at a leisurely pace, walking side by side with Meng Ruyan.
"I'm quite happy. It feels more interesting than the philosophical discussions we organize!"
"Let's do it this way from now on. Didn't Junior Brother Gao say that cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest?"
"I think you're just craving it!"
Meng Ruyan joked.
"Aren't you tempted?!"
...
Over the next two months, Qin Mi, Meng Ruyan, and Li Jincheng frequently visited Lingyue Peak.
Every time, the three girls would drag Yin Yutong to play mahjong with them.
Gao Yan, on the other hand, had to provide them with barbecue skewers.
Gao Yan is also good-tempered and doesn't feel tired at all.
Of course, the target customers have to be beautiful women.
If someone else were to do it, see if they would be willing to do it.
That's right, Gao Yan is just that realistic.
That day.
Qin Mi and his two companions came to play cards together again.
Gao Yan first prepared tea for them, then set up the barbecue grill and started grilling skewers.
"Junior Sister Yutong, have you heard that the Xiahou family is going to hold a Great Dao Celebration recently?" Qin Mi suddenly asked.
"At the Great Dao Celebration, who from the Xiahou family has broken through to the Dao Integration Realm again?"
Yin Yutong was taken aback, then asked with a curious look.
"bump!"
Qin Mi picked up the eight of bamboo that Yin Yutong had discarded, then took out two more eights of bamboo and put them together. With a smile, he discarded a nine of bamboo and said, "It's Senior Xiahou Jing. He has been in seclusion for over three hundred years. Everyone thought he had most likely failed, but he succeeded!"
“The Xiahou family has gained a new Dao Integration Realm expert, and the next sect leader will most likely be Senior Brother Xiahou Jian. The Xiahou family is going to prosper!” Meng Ruyan followed up.
“Not only is the sect leader from the Xiahou family, but I reckon one of the deputy sect leaders is also from the Xiahou family!” Qin Mi said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true!"
Li Jincheng suddenly blurted out, "With the Xiahou family making such a big splash, would the other four families be willing to accept it? If Senior Xiahou Jing hadn't advanced to the Dao Integration stage, the other four families might have tolerated Xiahou Jian and Xiahou Meng monopolizing power in their sects. But now, it's probably not so easy!"
Upon hearing this, both Qin Mi and Meng Ruyan showed thoughtful expressions.
That's true.
The Xiahou family's power is so great that it will indeed arouse the suspicion of the other four families.
“In that case, Xiahou Meng might not even get the position of elder in the end!” Qin Mi said in a deep voice.
"It shouldn't be that bad. Saintess Xiahou is already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and she will definitely advance to the Divine Transformation stage in the future. Even if she fails to compete for the Saintess position, securing an elder's position should be a piece of cake!"
