"Junior Sister, it's no longer safe here. We need to continue breaking the formation."
"Senior brother, how is your internal energy recovery going?"
"It's alright." Zishu sat down and continued his deduction. Ye Xiruo held the spiked club with both hands. Although her expression was relatively calm, she was very nervous inside.
This was her first real battle, and it was a battle she fought alone, not about victory or defeat, but about life and death.
Without the threat of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, groups of wild beasts began to surround them. A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiruo's eyes, and a green light flickered beneath her feet, instantly bringing her to the front of the demon beasts. With a light flick of her spiked club, three demon beasts were killed instantly, and another was seriously injured.
This weapon may not be good for showing off, but its combat effectiveness is off the charts, quite impressive. However, Ye Xiruo could already imagine the expression on Xiu Qi's face when he saw the spiked club.
The battle lasted for half an hour. Ye Xiruo was covered in blood, some of her own and some of the monsters'. The ground was littered with the corpses of monsters. Some had been killed by having their heads blown off, some had been smashed into pieces, and some were lucky enough to have their bodies intact. These were the result of Ye Xiruo using her mental power to crush them.
After drinking a bottle of spiritual water and treating her wounds casually, Ye Xiruo's smile became even brighter. She was determined not to become a burden to Brother Xiu Qi.
"Little Yezi, you killed all of these people." Zishu looked like he had been overwhelmed with shock, which made Ye Xiruo feel a little uneasy.
"Is there a problem, Senior Brother?"
"No, I just want to say that you are incredibly talented, Junior Sister."
"These monsters aren't high-level, but their numbers look rather frightening." Corpses everywhere, huh.
"Are you injured? Are you alright?"
"It was a minor injury, and it's already been treated. Should we continue trying to break through the formation?"
"Unfortunately, this time we've encountered a maze formation, but I've already found the core of the formation, so I can just smash it."
"If Brother Xiu Qi were here, the two of you working together would definitely be able to sweep away this damned formation."
“I can manage on my own.” Zishu took out his Supreme Essence and threw it viciously to a certain spot. Ye Xiruo hesitated for a moment, then took out her Green Essence: “If that’s not enough, there’s more here.”
Only Zishu would use the alchemy cauldron on the alchemy cauldron list as a hidden weapon. Zishu pulled Ye Xiruo aside and began to impart his experience: "Junior Sister, besides refining pills, this alchemy cauldron can also be used to cook hot pot."
If Ye Xi were to rub her forehead, her master would surely be furious.
"This is also excellent for using as a weapon to ambush others. Just imagine, a small pill cauldron is thrown at someone inconspicuously, and when it gets close, it turns into a giant cauldron. What an effect that would be."
Ye Xiruo felt it was such a rip-off just thinking about it.
"Also, these cauldrons have good defensive capabilities. If you can't beat them, you can use them as turtle shells and hide inside."
Ye Xiruo was already bewildered by the wind. Senior Brother, are you aware of Master's wit?
"Junior sister, I've practiced these many times, there's absolutely no problem with them."
"Um, if we have time, we can cook hot pot together."
The path ahead quickly became clear. Zishu reached out and summoned Taishang back, and continued walking forward.
Yingxun, trapped in the illusion array, also looked extremely pale. It turned out that the moment she stepped into the illusion array, she was bewildered and thought that Zishu and Yexi Ruo were following behind her. However, she watched helplessly as they turned into phantoms in front of her, and only then did she realize that they had already separated.
Moreover, the illusion array blocked the communication talisman, making it impossible to contact Zishu. After a while, before he could even leave the illusion array, he unexpectedly encountered Zishu and Ye Xiruo. However, both of them were severely injured and on the verge of death. Yingxun felt everything go black before his eyes; it was all over.
"Hold on!" They quickly grabbed some healing pills, but Ye Xiruo stopped breathing. Then Zishu attacked her, and she realized it was another illusion array.
The illusion array wasn't like this before. Who tampered with it, and who was it targeting? This is just an illusion array, yet it has such great destructive power. If it were a killing array, Yingxun felt a chill run down his spine.
Now all we can do is pray that Zishu and Yexi are safe and sound, and that those unreliable elders can repair the formation as soon as possible.
The elders were indeed not idle; they were currently discussing how to resolve this abnormal state.
"The formation is broken; we can't operate it at all now."
"Then let it stop completely."
"You mean we should all go together and smash the formation to pieces?"
"idiot."
"The complexity and value of this political and legal system are obvious to everyone, even without my strong opposition. If it is destroyed, you know the consequences." If the restriction cannot be repaired in three to five years, the safety of the Everlasting Wood and the Library cannot be guaranteed.
"Let's try to extract the spirit stone first. Without energy, I think the array's power will be reduced to about one-third."
"That's so clever."
Zishu and Ye Xiruo were eating at the moment. After breaking through the first maze, they stepped into another one. This time, Yingxun and Ye Xiruo were too lazy to break through it. Anyway, mazes weren't killing formations, and with their senior brother, a Nascent Soul cultivator, around, the danger level had practically dropped.
"Senior Brother, what would you like to eat today?"
"chicken."
It's really simple and straightforward. If Ye Xiruo is going to make two beggar's chickens and one mushroom stewed chicken, then...
The ingredients and seasonings were all readily available, and the pots were from Greenery and Taishang, which should be about the same quality.
If you clean the chicken thoroughly, soak it in the prepared seasoning for fifteen minutes, then stuff it with shiitake mushrooms, onions, mushrooms, diced eggplant, etc., wrap it in a layer of lotus leaves, cover it with a thick layer of mud, place it directly in the greenery, ignite the flames, and start heating. After fifteen minutes, it will be done.
The mushroom and chicken stew from the senior brother's side was also wafting out an enticing aroma; I have to say the meat and seasonings provided by the kitchen were a huge help.
Zishu took out the jade table (Jingli's favorite piece), took out a bowl, and ladled two bowls of mushroom stewed chicken for himself and Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo used a dagger to break open the mud, and the lotus leaves inside had turned yellowish-black. After opening them, a rich and tempting fragrance instantly wafted out, and Zishu's eyes lit up instantly.
"I didn't realize that Junior Sister was so capable."
"No, these are not difficult at all, Senior Brother, please give them a try."
Ye Xiruo cracked open the remaining beggar's chicken, took a gentle bite, and the familiar taste was truly touching. A sip of the chicken soup followed, and it was a true delight.
"Delicious." The chickens here are three times the size of those in their previous life, and Ye Xiruo and Zishu began a frenzied feast.
"This beggar's chicken, junior sister, could you teach me how to make it?" Zishu said, looking like he wanted more.
"no problem."
