Tao Bao protested, "If I hadn't communicated with the Divine Tree, you wouldn't have had anything to eat! And you even stole my tea! That's too much!"
"Hehe, keep going. Are you throwing a tantrum again? Well, you can continue reciting the talismans when you're done throwing a tantrum. You can drink your immortal tea properly after you can draw ten talismans!"
In the end, Tao Bao, with a pained baby face, went to the desk to recite her lessons.
Even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She had to obey Big Peach Sister's discipline. Due to the ancient bloodline suppression, she couldn't beat Zhu Yi and could only obey.
Zhu Yi picked up the jade spirit communication device, but couldn't send any messages at all. She wondered how Xue Shan and Wei Wei were doing. They should also have tea and immortal fruits prepared by the Bodhi Divine Tree, right?
"Oh, Sister Peach, you don't need to worry about your little friends. The Bodhi Tree is very thorough in its work and won't mistreat them. As long as they are willing to cultivate diligently and meet the requirements of the Tree, it will naturally release them!"
"That's true. This divine tree seems to be a very good-tempered immortal. He shouldn't make things difficult for us junior disciples in the cultivation world." Zhu Yi was still a little worried. Not being able to contact her friends made her somewhat uneasy.
Xue Shan was not very comfortable at the moment. She was all alone in the huge green palace. On the crystal wall opposite her, there were several large characters: "Those who are not at the Golden Core stage are not allowed to leave. They must devote themselves to cultivation."
The days of cultivating alone were very dull, and every now and then some little monsters would suddenly appear and bully her.
"Hehe!" Xue Shan's scalp tingled. Oh no, those little monkeys are here again!
Each time, they would either pull her hair or pester her to spar. This time, the monkeys left her with bruises and swelling on her face before they finally stopped.
The palace is rich in spiritual energy, making it a good place for cultivation.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Xue Shan engaged in a battle of wits with the monkeys while simultaneously focusing on mastering the Hehuan Sword and the Divine Bond of Fate.
As for Wei Weiwei, she felt even more upset at this moment.
Zhu Yi and Xue Shan were both used to being alone since childhood, while Wei Weiwei preferred to follow behind the crowd; days without company were quite difficult for her.
In the Bodhi Mirror, after recovering from her injuries a few days ago, she cried for several days in distress. Then she started practicing archery in the training room. She aimed the Fire Bow at the target and hit it on the first try. She was a little dissatisfied and tried shooting two or three arrows.
Wei Weiwei imagined the exhilarating feeling of hitting several enemy targets in one go, and her fear lessened.
When she got tired of practicing archery, she would start drawing talismans and teaching herself alchemy. She only had one book on alchemy, which Zhu Yi had given her as an introduction. She studied it very carefully, but she couldn't stand the damp atmosphere in the Azure Palace. She often needed to consume a lot of fire spirit energy to dispel the dampness.
Each time, she would work up a sweat and exhaust her spiritual energy, then eat a spiritual fruit to replenish it and quickly recover. Weiwei felt her meridians being repeatedly cleansed. Although she was only at the Qi Refining stage, she could feel that the spiritual energy in her body was purer than before.
In the spirit realm, under the Bodhi tree, Hongjian watched with satisfaction as the little girls devoted themselves to cultivation.
That unreliable Bodhi Tree got drunk on its own Daughter's Red wine and hid inside its own body to sober up, making Hongjian worried. Every day, she would prepare some fruit and tea to visit the little ones.
She was usually aloof, but these past few days, watching the little girls diligently practicing, she felt quite accomplished.
"Not bad, little girl, your cultivation is indeed very promising. You've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage in just a few days." Hongjian was delighted and poured herself a cup of Daughter's Red wine. She drank the strong liquor down in one gulp, but felt like something was missing in her mouth.
It would be even better if there were some delicious treats. I never knew it felt so good to raise some small pets or take on a few apprentices.
It's wonderful to see them go from being completely clueless and knowing nothing to gradually improving through practice.
Suddenly, the Goddess of Red Paper's eyes lit up. What was this little girl doing?
Why isn't she cultivating anymore? What is she roasting?
A goddess from the spirit world, she does not eat human grains and does not understand the joy of human barbecue.
In the azure palace of Bodhi Mirror, after eating fruit for several days in a row, Zhu Yi felt a strong craving for meat. Today, she planned to have a barbecue with Xiao Taobao.
"Sister! Can I eat this too?" Little Peach's eyes lit up as she stared longingly at the roast chicken in Zhu Yi's hand, unconsciously swallowing her saliva.
It smells so good! The golden-brown meat is sizzling with oil, and the aroma of the chicken is accompanied by the spiciness of the dipping sauce. It's Xiao Tao Bao's first time trying human barbecue, and she suddenly feels that her previous meals at Xian Tao Secret Realm Restaurant were really boring.
"Stop drooling!" Zhu Yi thought it was a bit funny that Little Peach Treasure, who was clearly a tree, was acting like a gluttonous cat.
"I just reheated the chicken I had roasted before. Look, the chicken fat has melted, it tastes much better than when it's cold!"
Zhu Yi broke off a chicken leg for Xiao Taobao and brushed it with a light layer of red chili sauce: "You're a country bumpkin, you can't eat too much spicy food."
Even through the image in the Bodhi Mirror, the Goddess of Red Paper thought the little peach tree's gluttonous eating was pathetic. For some inexplicable reason, she made a hand seal and used the Bodhi Mirror to retrieve half a roasted chicken and a plate of sauce. Following the example of how Zhu Yi had brushed sauce onto the little peach tree, she brushed a layer of sauce onto herself as well.
"Mmm!" Hongjian took a bite of the hot chicken wing root. The fresh, spicy and fragrant chicken meat was tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of saltiness and a light spiciness. It made you want to take another bite.
Red Paper's lips were red with a little bit of barbecue sauce left on them. Bodhi Tree, smelling the aroma of chicken, sat up in shock from his death throes. Seeing Red Paper sneaking a bite, he didn't stand on ceremony and snatched the chicken leg that Red Paper had just brushed with sauce and was about to eat. He devoured it in a few bites, patted his stomach, and sighed, "No wonder that scoundrel Yu Jing lingers in the mortal world and doesn't want to come back! Human cultivators really do eat well!"
"You shameless bastard! You stole my roast chicken!" Hongjian was a little unhappy; she hadn't had enough yet!
The Bodhi Tree wiped its mouth, its face full of disdain: "You stole this half chicken, how could mine be considered stealing?"
He was a little drunk and not fully sober: "If we're talking about stealing, I'm not the one who stole it. You're the one who stole it. I... hiccup! At most, I'm just sharing the loot."
Hongjian was a little embarrassed by her aloof demeanor: "Ahem, indeed, as a goddess, stealing half a roast chicken from a little girl in the cultivation world is not honorable and would be unseemly."
She looked uncomfortably at the image in the Bodhi Mirror, feeling a little guilty as she circled the small dining table looking for roast chicken.
The little girl looked confused and asked if the little peach tree behind her had been stealing peaches while she wasn't looking.
The little peach tree was happily eating when she heard that someone else hadn't eaten. She looked aggrieved and kept saying that she only ate what Zhu Yi had given her and didn't eat any more...
Hongjian touched her stomach guiltily, wondering if she had acted a little dishonestly.
