Chapter 20



But having said that, the master also has his favorite snacks. I wonder how delicious this longan pickled in sea salt is...

Ranran can eat it, but she still can't imagine what it tastes like.

This book is obviously the personal property of our former master, hidden here and never discovered.

Ran Ran felt that if she took it out and put it on her body, once her master found out, she would be crushed to dust immediately.

So she looked at it for a while, then reluctantly put it back, planning to read the masterpiece again when she had the chance.

Because the chapter about food in the "Playing Guide" was very much to Ranran's liking, she memorized a few recipes and tried to make them.

In particular, there is a kind of wine called "Mitianxian", which is said to be so sweet that it makes people not want to ascend to heaven.

Ran Ran was a little curious, so he looked for rice grains for brewing wine, and then bought red yeast rice wine jars and other things, and tried to brew some. Although brewing this wine is complicated and requires controlling the temperature and humidity, Ran Ran mastered the trick after failing a few times.

Her parents run a snack stand in the town. Ran Ran thought that if she brewed some and let her mother sell it, if she could make more money, her parents wouldn't have to work so hard.

Of course, she also made some dried longan with sea salt, but after trying a few times, the taste was not good. She then tried adding some honey and finally managed to suppress the astringent taste of the sea salt.

That day, after the little tiger finished eating two chickens, he jumped into Xue Ranran's arms contentedly. The man and the tiger slumped in the rocking chair, and soon, they fell into drowsiness.

When Su Yishui finally came out of seclusion and walked to the little disciple's yard, he saw a girl holding a cat under the swaying branches, with her face soft and fragrant.

Su Yishui walked silently with his long legs to the chair. The little tiger looked up at him vigilantly, then flicked its tail and ran away.

In her sleepy state, Ranran felt her face itchy. When she opened her eyes slightly, she realized that her mentor was driving over.

She quickly got up and said in a daze, "Master, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Su Yishui was still dressed in plain clothes. He reached out to pick up the fallen leaves on her head and asked, "Shouldn't you be meditating in the thatched cottage at this time?"

After hearing the master's question, Ran Ran realized that she had been caught being lazy. She said hesitantly, "We're going to have duck and mushroom buns tonight, so I came back a little earlier to prepare the ingredients..."

Su Yishui said calmly: "Do you think that now that you are healthy, you don't need to do homework?"

Ran Ran quickly shook the wave drum and waved his hands, saying, "Disciple dare not, but... Disciple really does not have the physique of an immortal cultivator, so I thought of memorizing the pill pharmacopoeia first, and then practice other things, so as to avoid making mistakes next time I refine the pill..."

In the end, she felt that it was shameful to be lazy and lie, so she might as well tell the truth about her lack of progress and avoid wasting her master's time.

So she gritted her teeth and said honestly, "My mother said that I only need to cultivate to strengthen my body, and I don't need to really cultivate immortality... In the future, I will still come down the mountain to serve my parents."

Su Yiping asked calmly, "So, your ambition is the same. You only want to live for a few decades, get married and have children in the future, and repeat the life of your parents?"

Ran Ran thought that this was what most people wanted, wasn't it? Even though it sounded a bit bland and boring, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, she felt that her master's words were a bit harsh, so she decided to add some more far-reaching ambitions: "Of course, I also want to make more money for my parents and build them a bigger house."

Su Yishui still looked at her straight and said, "Then you must find a rich man to marry in the future. If you marry a prince, it will be your wish come true."

Ranran felt that she was not so lucky, but after hearing what her master said, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

Su Yishui seemed too lazy to watch the shy smile of the girl, and said with a straight face: "Since you have entered my school, how can you not have the ambition to make progress? If you continue to be so lazy, you can pack up and leave immediately."

Ran Ran quickly admitted her mistake in a low voice.

She is different from other disciples. If she is expelled from the sect and the strange disease recurs, she will have no way out.

Su Yishui nodded and asked Ranran to make him a cup of tea.

When Ranran entered the house to make tea, she suddenly glanced at the honey jar, which contained dried longan that she had pickled according to the "Playing Sutra". So she grabbed a handful and put it in the plate, and sent it out on a tray with the tea.

The master was obviously here to cause trouble today, so she had to appease him.

Unexpectedly, when the master saw the dried longan with fine salt grains on the plate, he said nothing, but asked in a low and cold voice: "Where did this come from?"

Ran Ran didn't dare to mention the rebellious "Playing Sutra", so he whispered: "I've eaten it before, so I tried to make it. Master, do you want to try it?"

After Su Yishui drank the tea in one gulp, he didn't even touch the dried longan, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Ran Ran put the dried longan into her mouth somewhat dejectedly, and a salty-sweet taste spread across her tongue... This thing actually wasn't very delicious.

Although Master Mu has been reborn, she must not know that her former ferocious disciple has changed his taste. The dried fruits that can reduce one's anger by a little bit are no longer effective.

On the next morning, while Ranran was cooking, she heard from her second uncle who was helping in the kitchen the reason why there were people coming down the mountain in the past two days.

It turned out that the Ginseng Fruit Mu Qingge finally decided to become a disciple of the Jiuhua Sect.

Jiuhua is the most powerful and prestigious of the three major sects. Mu Qingge made this choice, and the other two major sects had nothing to say.

As Mu Qingge's new master, Zhenren Kaiyuan was very presentable. The first thing he did was to send Wei Fang to escort Mu Qingge to Xishan and personally ask for her magic weapon and mount.

However, because the Suyi River had been closed before, the letter asking for the items could not be delivered. Wei Fang and his men could not enter the mountain, so they could only place the greeting card on the stone in front of the West Mountain Gate.

When Su Yishui came out of retreat, Yu Tong presented the post to his master.

The Yu siblings were very disdainful of the Jiuhua Sect's eagerness to inherit the entire Xishan for Mu Qingge.

Putting aside the grudges between Su Yishui and Mu Qingge, Mu Qingge once said in front of the Xishan disciples that Lingxi Palace would be inherited by Su Yishui in the future.

During the past twenty years, the master and his servants have been managing and taking care of this place.

Although Mu Qingge has been reincarnated, she is no longer the Palace Master of Lingxi Palace after she was entrusted to the care of her father. Now that she has come back to ask for things, it is inevitable that she will be suspected of going back on her word.

Su Yishui did not comment and asked Xue Ranran and the others to send down the little tiger, some large and small magical weapons, and a long sword that was shining with golden light and decorated with gems.

Ranran has been feeding the little white tiger these days, and has developed some affection for it. Thinking that she won't be able to see it again in the future, she feels a little reluctant to let it go.

So on the way down the mountain, she held the little tiger in her arms, put her hands close to its furry ears, and whispered something about not being allowed to catch mice to eat in the future, not being too picky about food if no one was around to pluck the chickens for it, and not forgetting to wipe its paws with a wet rag after eating.

Qiu Xier watched anxiously from the side, afraid that the junior sister would be too talkative and annoy the Gengjin divine beast, which might bite off her head in one bite.

But if you don't know, the white tiger beast really looks like a kitten. It lay obediently in Xue Ranran's arms, occasionally licking her face with its tongue.

When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Ran Ran discovered that Mu Qingge had also come. It seemed that she was treated very well in Jiuhua Sect, surrounded by a group of disciples, and she did not look like a prisoner under house arrest, but rather like a pampered guest.

Bai Baishan whispered beside her, "It is said that our former master is good at currying favor with the powerful. She supported the current emperor to ascend the throne and made great contributions. So even though she violated the taboos of immortal cultivation and almost caused a disaster by secretly entering the demon world, she is a first-class noble in the imperial palace!"

When he said this, the second senior brother's words were filled with undisguised envy. After all, not everyone can ascend to heaven through cultivation, but once you are favored and powerful, you can immediately obtain glory and comfort.

I think the reason why Master Mu is so successful in Jiuhua Sect is that there must be someone supporting her from behind.

It seems that Mu Qingge, who has lived a new life, is not completely defeated and can definitely start again!

There were even a few familiar-looking people around her.

Ran Ran recognized that those people seemed to be the ones who had come to Xishan to seek medical treatment before but were badly rejected. They seemed to be... servants of Prime Minister Lin. And the tall, thin, white-faced scholar following them, could he be the son of Prime Minister Lin who came to seek medical treatment before?

Seeing the tall and thin Master Lin with a respectful look on his face, calling Mu Qingge "Master" all the time, it seemed that Mu Qingge, who had just fallen into the familiar position, had quickly accepted a powerful disciple as his companion, and was quickly adapting to everything twenty years later...

However, when Mu Qingge saw that the people who delivered the things were Su Yishui's disciples, not Su Yishui himself, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

Ran Ran and the others knew that this person was their former master, the previous owner of Xishan, so even though she was not on good terms with Wei Fang and other Jiuhua disciples, they did not say anything to provoke her and just gave her the things in a proper manner.

Other things were fine, but when it came to the Gengjin White Tiger, as soon as Mu Qingge reached out his hand, the tiger suddenly became furious and yelled "Ah-oo" at Mu Qingge viciously.

It was clearly the body of a kitten, but its mouth suddenly grew bigger and its roar was deafening, really catching people off guard.

The Jiuhua Sect's people couldn't help but retreat one after another. Mu Qingge seemed to be forcing himself not to retreat. He just looked at the Gengjin White Tiger with a forced smile, and said with a little regret: "Back then, I made a soul oath with this tiger, and it became my mount. Now it seems that the soul oath was broken when my soul was disrupted 20 years ago. It was originally a wild spirit beast, it should be free. Now it doesn't want to follow me, and I won't force it..."

After hearing this, the little tiger ignored the crowd, swung its tail, turned around and went into the forest to catch a chicken to eat.

Others were fine. Ranran was very happy to hear this. It seemed that she would be able to snuggle with the little tiger in the yard and bask in the sun in the future.

Although Mu Qingge didn't want his previous mount, he accepted all the others without hesitation. Especially the golden sword, he looked very important to it. It is said that this sword was specially made by the current emperor for Mu Xianchang, and it is very valuable.

However, she looked at the things that the West Mountain disciples had taken down and asked softly, "Why is there no Nine Revolutions Black Iron Pill Furnace?"
