The last memory of Black Fiend Mountain was the graceful appearance of Master Yujing, who waved his hand and everyone returned safely to their nest.
All the words I wanted to say shattered in that moment.
"Jinbao, is my existence just to be your cook?" Zhu Yi pouted. She hadn't yet recovered from the afterglow of her past life's dream, and she still hadn't integrated all the useful information from her past life's story!
Despite complaining, Zhu Yi didn't hesitate at all. She got up quickly and, while her memory was still fresh, began writing furiously at the small table by the window.
Write down the cause and effect of everything in your past life, and polish a few key parts.
Jinbao, drooling and a little impatient, waited.
The girl, with eyes as bright as peach blossoms, had an idea for how to rebuild the Brahma Lamp!
The lampshade of the Brahma Lamp was jointly crafted from Heavenly Water Divine Jade, Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade, and the refined iron candlestick from before the Buddha. There should be no divine jade from the Spirit Realm in the cultivation world, but she could try to use extremely high-grade spiritual jade from the cultivation world to repair the cracks in the Brahma Lamp.
As for the candle flame, in his previous life's dream, Jiang Lin traveled through the spirit world with that wisp of candle flame. Every time he helped someone and encountered some blessed old people, he would ask the old people for a candle wick that he had personally made.
Each time the fiery red spirit ate a wick carrying the old man's blessing, the candlelight became brighter.
Zhu Yi pondered, "That lamp wick must have carried the old man's blessings and wishes, otherwise how could it be so powerful?"
Zhu Yi recovered quickly from the injury. After resting, she took Jin Bao to the kitchen to grill fish for Zhao Cai.
Zhu Yi was very generous. Considering that her elusive master was also in Taoshan this time, Zhu Yi cooked a whole pot of various kinds of roasted meat, including five-spice, cumin, spicy, hot and spicy, and honey-glazed meats.
Jinbao, watching from the side, clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Woof! Junior Sister, I want porridge, seafood porridge!"
"Since I'm in a good mood, let's make some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup."
Zhu Yi thought that Jinbao would run to the main kitchen to buy some fresh hens, pork bones, mushrooms and the like. But Jinbao took out his jade pendant and shouted, and soon a pretty young girl from the main kitchen came to knock on the door of Zhu Yi's Peach Blossom Cottage carrying a large basket.
The young girl was a little nervous. This wasn't the first time she had done this kind of errand-running work. However, she had heard that Senior Sister Zhu Yi was very fierce. Senior Sister Lan Xiang of the Fu Sect was punished by being sent to the Cliff of Contemplation for half a year because she offended her!
Zhu Yi felt a little awkward, so she leaned over and joked with the girl, "Are you nervous? Want a small barbecue?"
Honey-glazed roasted meat with a fresh, sweet flavor is truly a soothing balm for a tense mood.
Since girls are afraid of gaining weight from eating meat, Zhu Yi thoughtfully brought two skewers of grilled mushrooms.
"Thank...thank you, Senior Sister Zhu." The little girl puffed out her cheeks, her mouth greasy from eating.
Zhu Yi gave her another skewer of grilled chicken skin. The little girl ate it happily and muttered, "Senior Sister Zhu, you're not as fierce as the rumors say."
Zhu Yi: "..."
Jinbao: "You didn't see her angrily setting the fire." Jinbao didn't dare say this, because if it did, there would be no seafood porridge. As a dog with status, it still understood this much.
Very good, it seems that Shen Hanfang did a good job in crisis public relations. How did she, a homebody who never leaves the house, end up with such a bad reputation and look so fierce?
After eating and drinking her fill, the little girl had another glass of cold soda from Zhu Yi. When she looked at Zhu Yi again, her eyes lit up.
"Then I'll be going now. Can I add my junior sister on the Jade Spirit Link?" the girl asked tentatively, her nervousness evident in the little fingers she was secretly fidgeting with.
"Okay, I'll do any errands for you if I ever need anything." Zhu Yi was very generous. In the cultivation world where food delivery and takeout didn't exist, she had finally found a little girl who could run errands in the kitchen, so of course she had to take advantage of it.
"My name is Fangrui. My mother helps the head chef prepare vegetables in the sect's main kitchen. Junior Brother Jinbao often asks me to bring him food so I can earn more spirit stones to supplement the family income."
The little girl's eyes sparkled like stars, and Zhu Yi asked curiously, "Little Fangrui, do you really need spirit stones?"
The little girl with the double buns was only ten years old? She looked half a head younger than Zhu Yi. She seemed a little unhappy when the topic came up, and pursed her lips: "My father is sick, and my mother and I need to earn a lot of spirit stones to buy medicine for him. We used to live in Anyuan Town, but after my father got sick, we couldn't earn many spirit stones..."
Zhu Yi understood immediately, and a flood of emotions welled up in her heart. She said with a touch of sadness, "No matter where you are, things related to people's basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are never trivial matters."
"So how did you manage to get this job in the sect's kitchen?"
When this was mentioned, Xiao Fangrui's eyes lit up. "We have to thank Jinbao for this! He used to go down the mountain to play often and would always bring some poor people to the sect to find a decent job."
After seeing Xiao Fangrui off, Zhu Yi called Jinbao and, carrying a large basket of delicious food, rushed to the neighboring Sour Peach Peak to pay respects to their master and visit Zhaocai.
When the Imperial Mirror Master saw Zhu Yi and Jinbao arrive in such a flamboyant manner with their dog, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't you have a jade food box?"
Zhu Yi was speechless. Could she say that she didn't use the jade food box in order to show her master how difficult it was for her to do all this?
"Hmph, so you're a little fox after all. I thought you were a well-behaved person." Master Yujing pursed his eyes, giving off a look that said, "I know, you just want to play the innocent card."
"I suddenly realized that my master has seen through my little fox tail." Zhu Yi's utterly dejected look amused Yu Jing.
The little fox clasped its hands together, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, your disciple has brought many delicious foods for you to try."
Smiling broadly, Yu Jing didn't stand on ceremony, commenting on the taste as she ate.
Zhu Yi finally understood: she could finally see why Zhao Cai and Jin Bao were always so greedy and sleepy. Goodness, what master, what pet!
After waiting for a long time, Master Yujing still showed no sign of finishing his meal.
Zhu Yi was getting restless. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't bear to interrupt Master Yujing's enjoyment of eating.
"Zhaocai is fine. It needs to go into seclusion to re-integrate its soul, so you don't need to worry about it."
Thankfully, with Master's words, Zhu Yi felt much more at ease.
Yu Jing changed the subject, looking at Zhu Yi with more seriousness: "Fusing souls is not difficult. What is difficult is that Zhao Cai needs a catalyst for cultivation. This substance is the Buddhist fire of the spirit world, which we cultivators do not have."
"Buddha's Fire? I have it!" Zhu Yi's eyes lit up, truly happy that she could help Zhao Cai.
"Your Buddhist lamp is broken and needs to be repaired before it can release true Buddhist fire." Master Yujing leaned against the bamboo couch, looking at Zhu Yi with a smile.
Zhu Yi felt as if she had been tricked by her own master? But she had no evidence?
