After finishing her cultivation, Su Qing habitually rubbed her stomach. She felt a little hungry and missed the delicious food in the sect's canteen. She also felt a little tired and missed the sect's hot springs.
"Junior Sister Su Qing!" Han Chen couldn't contain himself any longer when he saw Su Qing emerge from seclusion. Ignoring Xuan Qingye's murderous glare, he shouted.
Su Qing then raised her eyelids and saw that Han Chen and Yu Kui were blocked outside by a line of ice.
"Junior Sister, we just caught a second-tier demon beast, the Golden Horned Sheep, on our way here. Shall we roast a whole lamb later?" Yu Kui looked at Su Qing with a smile.
Su Qing's eyes lit up immediately. She walked over to Han Chen and Yu Kui and said, "There are golden horned sheep here! That's great. I'm hungry, so you guys start a campfire and I'll take care of the golden horned sheep."
Xuan Qingye's expression was somewhat cold; he felt isolated by these people.
Why didn't he think of the fact that Su Qing would need to eat after finishing her cultivation? No wonder Su Qing seemed a little weak after finishing her cultivation before; it turned out she was hungry.
Xuan Qingye no longer rationally considers the fact that the Foundation Establishment stage is already capable of abstaining from grains.
Outside, Wen Yutian of the Wuji Sect saw Yu Kui take out a spirit beast cage, release a useless golden horned sheep from it, and then watch as Su Qing skillfully slaughtered the golden horned sheep.
"Aren't Foundation Establishment cultivators supposed to abstain from grains? Yet they're still indulging in their gluttony." Wen Yutian sneered. "I've heard that your Xuanling Sect even has a sect canteen for outer disciples? How laughable! Instead of focusing on cultivation, they're indulging in pleasure. These disciples will likely never amount to anything in the future."
The sect leader of Xuanling Sect, who had been fantasizing about the beautiful vision of his senior brothers and sisters, snorted coldly upon hearing Wen Yutian's words, saying, "What's wrong with spiritual food? It can also improve cultivation by regulating your breathing after consumption! How can something like Bigu Pills compare to the effects of spiritual food? Of course, your Wuji Sect has always been ruthless, and our Xuanling Sect is naturally no match for you."
Wen Yutian's face turned ugly, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Hopeless."
By this time, Su Qing had already skinned the golden horned sheep. The sheep's body was covered in marinade, and the aroma wafted into her nose.
Su Qing still felt regretful; why hadn't she encountered Senior Brother Lan along the way?
At this moment, Senior Brother Lan, who was mixed in with Feng Yao and Bei Ming's team, sneezed again. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "Why do I keep sneezing after entering the Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map?"
Could it be that since I came in, I haven't cooked, and without the stimulation of cumin and salt, I'm having an allergic reaction?
Thinking of this, Senior Brother Lan quickly took out the olfactory bottle containing seasonings and took a deep sniff. Ah, this smell is still the strongest.
This sheep is really fat. Su Qing gave the Golden Horned Sheep a full-body SPA treatment.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Qing actually took out the alchemy furnace again. But instead of refining pills, she lit a campfire inside the giant alchemy furnace!
Everyone who saw this was stunned. Good heavens, what is she doing?
"What a waste!" Wen Yutian's lips trembled with anger. This was the Xuanyuan Spirit Gathering Furnace!
The sect leader glanced at her and scoffed, "Hmph, she's just jealous."
Su Qing used her spiritual power to support the golden horned sheep and roasted it in the alchemy furnace, occasionally throwing in some fragrant spiritual herbs. The roasted whole sheep smelled even better than the alchemy itself.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, you are my idol!"
"An alchemist re-enters the workforce as the team's soul: a barbecue chef."
"I want to buy an alchemy furnace too, so I can go out and hunt some wild game, roast it and eat it comfortably."
"Will the medicinal effects still be present if this herb is sprinkled on it?"
...
Su Qing had no idea that her method of roasting meat had caused such a stir outside, nor did she know that her method of roasting meat in her alchemy furnace would later become a skill that every disciple of the Xuanling Sect knew.
Therefore, all Xuanling Sect disciples, regardless of whether they were alchemists or not, carried an alchemy furnace in their storage space, just so they could roast meat on the road.
Seeing that Han Chen and Yu Kui were both injured but were still stubbornly refusing to utter a sound, Su Qing guessed that the two of them did not have any healing pills but were too embarrassed to ask. So, she tossed each of them a small medicine jar.
"Senior Brother Han Chen, Senior Brother Yu Kui, I have some Purple Spirit Pills here, mixed with some purple raspberry flavor. Try them and see how they taste," Su Qing said.
The Purple Spirit Pill, a fourth-grade elixir, is an excellent medicine that can not only replenish spiritual energy but also heal injuries.
“This, this Purple Spirit Pill…” Yu Kui held the small medicine jar, her eyes slightly red.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, this is a fourth-grade pill." Han Chen frowned as well.
Just as the two were moved, they saw Xuan Qingye take out an identical medicine jar, take out a pill, put it directly into her mouth, and then another...
"It tastes pretty good, don't you guys want to try it?"
Xuan Qingye's actions left Yu Kui and Han Chen with mixed feelings. A fourth-grade pill, she was treating it like candy.
The two originally thought that a few grade three healing pills would be enough, but they never expected that Junior Sister Su Qing would always reach heights beyond their imagination!
The two stopped being coy and sat cross-legged around the alchemy furnace, taking the Purple Spirit Pill to begin healing.
An hour later, the two opened their eyes and saw Su Qing open the alchemy furnace and take out the golden horned sheep, whose skin had been roasted to a golden brown and crispy.
"Come on, this tastes amazing!" Su Qing tore off a thigh and handed it to Xuan Qingye, then tore off another thigh and handed it to Yu Kui.
As for Han Chen, he tore off a large piece from his chest and started gnawing on it.
Su Qing tore off the sheep's head and tossed it into the air.
"Since you're here, why not give it a try?"
Um?
Everyone looked up and saw an eagle swooping down from the sky and snatching the sheep's head away.
"What is that?"
"Let's use a spirit clone," Su Qing said.
What?
The Xuanling Sect leader was truly on the verge of losing his guard this time.
Spirit, can't you have any integrity?!
Su Qing killed the golden koi fish, and now the spirit of the artifact is doing this for a roasted sheep's head...
In the dense forest, the eagle devoured the roasted sheep's head in a few bites, but the spirit in the artifact sneered inwardly, "Don't think you can bribe me with a roasted sheep's head. Once you enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, I'll make it ten times harder for you to pass through!"
However, the roasted sheep's head tasted really good.
No, no, even if it tastes good, it won't work. Entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will increase the difficulty a hundredfold!
While the artifact spirit was struggling with its dilemma, Su Qing and the other three had already eaten and drunk their fill and were sitting cross-legged, beginning to practice their internal energy.
They were already at the Foundation Establishment stage. All they needed to do was circulate their cultivation techniques, and the food in their internal organs would instantly transform into spiritual energy to nourish their entire bodies. Not only the golden horned sheep, but also the spiritual herbs that Su Qing had put in, were roasted in the alchemy furnace, making them rich in spiritual energy. This meal was equivalent to three hours of cultivation. After finishing their cultivation, they all felt refreshed and invigorated.
Tomorrow, we will enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Su Qing's eyes were so bright that even the eagle perched in the tree was momentarily stunned.
