Once he had recovered sufficiently, he returned to roasting chicken. In Ye Xiruo's view, roasting chicken and alchemy were similar in principle; both required precise control of the heat. Of course, the skill level involved differed. However, the training of mental energy was the same. When mental energy was completely depleted, and then he meditated to recover, his mental energy would increase slightly. Although not by much, it was already quite surprising, as the growth and cultivation of mental energy were inherently difficult.
Some alchemists may not be able to increase their spiritual power much in their entire lives. Adding roasted chicken can also help them practice the Fire Control Technique. Her Fire Control Technique has been stuck at the second level for a long time. She needs an opportunity to break through, but Qinglian Tian must not be exposed. She is currently using a wisp of the child fire separated from Brother Xiu Qi's Ice Heart Flame. She may not be able to control it well when refining pills, but it is enough for roasting chicken.
The chefs in the main kitchen, who had initially looked utterly bewildered, gained a new understanding of their profession after witnessing Ye Xiruo's earnest and almost reverent approach to roasting the chicken. They realized that being a chef was such a noble profession; otherwise, why would the young master use his precious alchemy cauldron to roast chicken? In some ways, chefs were no less skilled than alchemists; on the continent, master-level spiritual chefs were even more sought after than alchemists. After all, not every alchemist was a prodigy like the young master, producing flawless pills free of toxins.
Ye Xiruo herself never expected that these seemingly honest chefs would have such wild imaginations. She was just roasting chicken, yet they connected it to so many things. It's hard to say whether this was an unintentional outcome or not, but those chefs who saw Ye Xiruo roasting chicken later became famous spirit chefs on the continent, and were also die-hard fans of Ye Xiruo.
"What? You dare to slander our young master? I'm going to make you some kind of culinary disaster."
"The young master is naturally the best; you are far inferior."
"What the young master said is all correct."
Of course, that's a story for later. Right now, the chefs in the main kitchen are full of enthusiasm and energy.
"Who says chefs aren't noble? Look, even the young master is roasting chicken himself."
When Zhang Quan returned in the evening, Ye Xiruo handed over the remaining matters to him, instructing him to arrange everything properly and keep an eye on those with ulterior motives, lest they cause trouble. These spiritual foods were all prepared for the eldest brother; anyone foolish enough to try and cause trouble should be killed.
Not long after Ye Xiruo returned to Ye Ruo Palace that evening, Zishu rushed over.
"Senior Brother, how have you been?"
Zishu rubbed his fingers together, a little embarrassed. "I came here specifically to thank Junior Sister." Then he rummaged through his spatial ring and pulled out several bottles of pills. "These are pills that Xiu Qiyu can use. Please accept them, Junior Sister."
Ye Xiruo smiled faintly: "If Brother Xiuqi knew how much you care about him, he would be very touched."
"Who cares about him? I'd rather he be trapped in some secret realm for a thousand or eight hundred years and never come out!" Oops, he accidentally blurted out his true feelings. What a straightforward boy.
Ye Xiruo looked at Zishu with a half-smile: "Senior Brother, I know you're the most hypocritical one. Actually, you still care about Brother Xiuqi very much."
"Uh." Zishu sighed, realizing that his junior sister had been brainwashed by Xiu Qiyu. He genuinely wanted that scumbag Xiu Qiyu to stay away from his junior sister, the further away the better.
"Is there still no news about my master?"
"Yes, he disappeared after the victory celebration banquet. He's probably in seclusion!"
"Senior Brother, I hope you will successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage this time."
"Is that even a question? I could achieve the Nascent Soul stage by doing nothing and lying in bed for a few years."
hehe
Ye Xiruo was suddenly humiliated, her face covered in blood. So what if he has an ethereal body? So what if he can break through without cultivation? And he's still showing off like this. Senior Brother is truly a master at drawing hatred.
The key question is, does your master know how arrogant you are?
Ye Xiruo glanced at Zishu with a wistful look: "If I had known, I shouldn't have prepared so much food for you."
"No, no, no, junior sister, it's not much at all. Of course, the more food the better. I don't want to take any fasting pills!"
"I've already given instructions to Zhang Quan. The main kitchen will allocate a large number of people to prepare food for you these next few days. Don't forget to pay the spirit stones."
Zishu waved his hand dismissively: "Yesterday I went to the Pill King Auction House and auctioned off a few Rank 9 pills for 50,000 high-grade spirit stones."
The tone and expression made it seem as if he were talking about five low-grade spirit stones. Ye Xiruo took a deep breath to avoid getting her blood pressure rising from Zishu's anger.
"If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it probably won't be enough!" he said with certainty.
"Have you forgotten that we both receive monthly allowances?"
Okay, I really did forget about that.
"Junior Sister, after I leave, you must cultivate diligently. If your strength is insufficient for the Hundred Sects Competition two years from now, then give up. Our Pill King Hall doesn't need to be in the limelight all the time, do you understand?"
This is quite a lot of information. It means that the Pill King Palace might choose some cannon fodder, or perhaps that's not quite right. In short, it means that people with weak strength will participate in the Hundred Sects Competition. Rankings and such are irrelevant, and rewards will be forfeited.
The Pill King Palace has already made a name for itself in the Heavenly Ranking Competition, attracting considerable attention. If its performance in the Hundred Sects Grand Competition continues to be dazzling, certain forces and individuals will likely become impatient and want to take action against the Pill King Palace.
After all, the wealth of the Danwang Palace is known throughout the world.
Master probably already had this in mind! Keep a low profile, conserve your energy, and temporarily avoid confrontation. Once you've accumulated enough strength to be fearless of any force, you won't have to suffer this humiliation anymore.
"I understand, thank you, senior brother."
"All the sacrifices we make now will be taken back from them, tenfold, sooner or later." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zishu's round eyes.
"I understand. In the next few years, I will choose a place to cultivate in seclusion and improve my strength."
Zishu patted Ye Xiruo's head. With her junior sister's talent, she would stand at the pinnacle of this continent in at most twenty years.
I really want to see what it was like back then. Ye Xiruo felt a little uneasy under Zishu's overly eager gaze.
"Senior Brother, you..."
"I'm fine? It's getting late, Junior Sister, you should get some rest!" Then she turned and ran off.
Haha, the senior brother who's easily embarrassed is actually quite cute.
