The bookstore lost a courtesan from the Imperial Music Bureau, while the Heartless Sect gained a charming and eloquent Liu Rushi.
It's a pity.
She didn't seem very happy or joyful.
"Senior brother, where are we going?" The world was vast. Liu Rushi had no relatives left.
With a flick of his finger, Ye Tian plunged his longsword into the not-so-clear lake water, revealing a plump and delicious silver carp. The small river flowed along the banks, its surface murky with the passage of time.
One silver carp was certainly not enough, so Ye Tian took out his longsword and stabbed a crucian carp that was swaying back and forth.
"Is the fire ready?" Ye Tian asked.
"The temperature is about right." Chu Feng gathered a pile of firewood and hay he had picked from the trees. Then, on a higher spot, he used three thick branches to build a makeshift barbecue grill.
The raging flames and the gurgling sound of water create quite a picturesque scene.
"We need a pot. Silver carp and crucian carp can't be grilled. Without seasonings, we'll miss out on the natural freshness of the fish. They have to be boiled, so a pot is essential," Ye Tian emphasized.
Chu Feng said coldly, "I don't have a pot."
Ye Tian looked at Liu Rushi, who was looking puzzled and waiting for his answer, and asked, "Did you bring a pot?"
Seeing this, Liu Rushi knew that Ye Tian was not listening to her at all. She could only sit down in a small space, feeling like crying, and shook her head, saying, "No."
Why.
There were no pots or pans.
"Then you're in for a treat." Chu Feng and Liu Rushi hadn't brought any pots, so they'd have to use a cauldron.
When Li Chunfeng took out the cauldron that day, the world paled in comparison, and all the light of everything seemed to be absorbed into its interior.
But……
There's no pot available, but this one is just the right size to be used as one. It's perfect for cooking fish.
Ye Tian took it out.
In an instant.
The world lost its color, and even the shimmering water suddenly went dark.
Only the cauldron held in Ye Tian's hand shimmered with divine light. It seemed to gather all the light of the world into it, creating a dense and radiant divine glow.
This scene caught Chu Feng's eye, but he wasn't the type to be constantly surprised. He merely furrowed his brow slightly before returning to his original posture and squatting down.
Liu Rushi parted her red lips slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across her incredibly smooth and delicate face. But it was just a fleeting look, and she said nothing more, seemingly uninterested.
Indeed, she had experienced too much in a single day, and no matter how magical a cauldron was, it held no appeal for her.
Ye Tian's strong desire to show off disappeared. One of these two people was a clueless fool who didn't understand social etiquette, and the other was an extremely frustrated idiot.
They're just mindless and grumpy.
Alright, I wanted to share something with these two, but I couldn't find any joy in it. All Ye Tian could do was cook a pot of fish in this cauldron.
Ye Tian discovered this when he used the cauldron. If he deliberately channeled spiritual energy into it, giving it a signal not to emit light, and didn't use its full power, it wouldn't cause the world to lose its color, nor would it become dim and lifeless.
So, this cauldron can actually be kept low-key.
So refreshing!
When the senior Li Chunfeng left, he not only gave him this treasure-like magic cauldron, but also a batch of excellent pills, which were indeed quite useful.
Speaking of which, the silver carp and crucian carp cooked in this cauldron are truly delicious, with incredibly smooth flesh. The aroma is irresistible.
Being able to eat this kind of fish in a prefecture nearly a hundred miles away from the book city is already a luxury. Of course, people of their cultivation level don't need to eat; they only eat for the sake of satisfying their appetites.
After finishing this meal.
Liu Rushi asked the same question again, "Senior brother, where are we going?"
"After this meal, you still don't understand?" Ye Tian said, feigning profundity.
Liu Rushi remained silent for a long while before asking in confusion, "Senior brother, are you trying to teach me that we should be like fish in this water, free to go wherever we want in this vast world?"
Ye Tian shook his head and earnestly lectured her, "No. I'm just telling you that we'll go wherever there's good food."
Liu Rushi remained silent for a while.
“You definitely can’t go back to the city now. Wu Yi just died. The city is definitely investigating. Originally, there were only the two of us on this hunt, but because of this, I made an exception and brought you along,” Ye Tian explained patiently.
This trip certainly wasn't just a simple sightseeing trip. The members of the Ruthless Sect were all diligently cultivating within the sect. Even though Ye Tian didn't cultivate, he still had to do something for them.
Not far from the Book City lies the Book Fragrance County, another place teeming with monsters. And where monsters roam, rare and precious herbs often abound.
Ye Tian wanted to refine a large batch of medicine. He didn't need to tell Kong Chan about the herbs required; Ye Tian knew that the bookstore could never gather enough herbs for such a batch.
Therefore, Ye Tian came to Shuxiang County, lingering in the majestic mountains inhabited by many demonic beasts. Defeating these ferocious beasts and plundering their elixirs and demonic marrow was the fastest and most direct way for the Wuqing Sect to succeed.
Chu Feng and Liu Rushi are the strongest people in the Ruthless Sect, besides Ye Tian and many guest elders.
Therefore, Ye Tiancai did not let them cultivate in hardship within the Ruthless Sect, but instead sent them here to seek opportunities, where they could also assist him.
"That's about enough. We need to hurry and head deeper into the mountains. We must reach the heart of the mountains before nightfall," Ye Tian instructed after finishing his meal and resting for a while.
