Chapter 14
Little Chu, that little foodie, has brought back wild game from outside again.
"Look, senior sister, huge crabs!" Xiao Chu returned carrying two crabs the size of wooden buckets, excitedly saying, "Senior sister, let's have a seafood feast today!"
Jiang Liuya came out of the house and looked at Xiao Chu's excited expression. She shook her head helplessly and said, "You were missing for two days just to catch crabs at the beach?"
"That's not entirely true..."
Song Chu scratched his head and chuckled.
As she spoke, she took two more jars out of the large basket on her back.
Jiang Liuya curiously leaned over to take a look.
"There are also prawns, octopus..." Song Chu said as he opened the jar.
Goodness, it was stuffed full of seafood, and they were all still jumping around.
Hearing the commotion, Li Yuan rushed over, his eyes lighting up instantly. He exclaimed happily, "I love these too! Xiao Chu, next time you go to the beach, call me along!"
"Hehe, Liu Ya, you're going to have to work hard again." Li Yuan turned to look at Jiang Liu Ya with a fawning smile on his face.
Jiang Liuya glared at them, feigning anger, and said, "You two, come and help me!"
Another day as the cook. What can I do? She's the best cook.
The other two only know how to eat.
It seems that being too capable isn't always a good thing.
In the kitchen, the three of them got busy. Jiang Liuya skillfully processed various seafood with smooth and effortless movements, while Song Chu and Li Yuan clumsily helped from the side, sometimes adding too much salt and sometimes spilling water everywhere, making Jiang Liuya both amused and exasperated.
Despite this, the kitchen was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Soon, a table full of seafood was prepared.
On the dining table, various seafood dishes looked tempting, emitting a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.
Song Chu and Li Yuan couldn't wait any longer and began to feast.
With his mouth full, Song Chu mumbled, "If I can't eat the delicious food my senior sister makes, even if I ascend to heaven right now, it will be utterly boring."
Li Yuan also joked, "Willow bud, oh Willow bud, if our Imperial Pill Sect were to switch to the culinary arts, our reputation would be established."
Jiang Liuya smiled wryly and rolled her eyes at the two of them.
She prepared a bowl of seafood soup in advance, carefully placed it in a food box, and prepared to send it to the immortal master.
In her heart, the immortal master was her benefactor, who could give her a lot of guidance.
The immortal master should prefer lighter food, and this seafood soup looks just right.
Before leaving, she also took a small plate of osmanthus cake that she had made that morning.
Li Yuan and Song Chu were enjoying their meal so much that they didn't even notice Jiang Liuya leaving.
A moment later.
While enjoying his meal, Song Chu looked up and asked in confusion, "Where's Senior Sister?"
Li Yuan didn't take it seriously: "She seems to have gone out just now."
Knocking on the door, Jiang Liuya brought over a food box.
"Master, this is a seafood soup I just made. Please try it." She gently put down the food box, took out a large soup bowl, and the steaming hot soup inside filled the air with the fresh aroma of seafood.
"My junior sister caught some seafood today. I tried some, and it was quite fresh and delicious. I wonder if it suits your taste?" Jiang Liuya tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, looking like a child waiting for praise.
Danxi usually only uses some fasting pills, and she has never eaten this kind of seafood before.
It was undoubtedly unfamiliar and novel to him.
He slowly picked up the spoon, took a sip, and nodded, saying, "Not bad."
Seeing a large pair of tongs in the soup, I was a little curious, so I scooped it up and asked doubtfully, "Can I eat this?"
He looked like a child exploring an unknown world.
So even immortal masters have such an innocent and amusing side. Jiang Liuya, feeling mischievous, decided to tease him.
With a smile on her lips and a sincere expression, she said, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Danxi did not hesitate at all, and put the pliers into her mouth and took a small bite.
The next second, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He said, "So hard."
"Hahaha, Immortal Master, you're so funny." Jiang Liuya couldn't help but laugh out loud, her clear laughter echoing in the air.
She never expected that this aloof and elegant immortal master would have such a cute and funny side.
Danxi was actually more interested in the plate of pastries than the seafood.
The dish of osmanthus cakes emitted a faint fragrance of osmanthus.
He tried a piece, and found it to be soft and chewy, sweet but not cloying. He genuinely praised it, saying, "This is delicious."
It turned out that the immortal master preferred this kind of sweet and light dessert, and Jiang Liuya secretly made a note of it.
"Today, I saw an older female cultivator in the courtyard. She must be your master," Danxi asked softly, tilting her head slightly with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Jiang Liuya nodded gently, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and said, "In the Imperial Pill Sect, besides the three of us, there is only Master."
Then, she shook her head helplessly, her voice tinged with sadness, "After Master was injured, his consciousness was damaged, and he can no longer communicate normally."
"Was her injury caused by a soul-capturing spell or something similar?" Danxi pressed.
Jiang Liuya nodded again to confirm, her voice trembling slightly: "Master's injury was caused by a member of the Soul-Seizing Sect using the Soul-Seizing Technique..."
Three years ago, Master Yuhe Zhenren led the three of them, his fellow disciples, into the Xihua Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm of Cherishing Flowers is a safe and peaceful place where many precious and rare herbs and plants grow.
Jiang Liuya inadvertently discovered a hidden cave.
On the stone wall of the cave, they unexpectedly found a very rare spiritual herb.
"Master, what kind of spiritual herb is this? I've never seen it before." Jiang Liuya ran excitedly to her master, her eyes full of curiosity.
Yuhe Zhenren walked over quickly, and when she saw the spiritual herb, she couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the Wall Marrow Profound Grass! There is such a rare spiritual herb here!" Her voice was filled with undisguised excitement.
In the cultivation world, the Wall Marrow Mystic Grass is an extremely precious spiritual plant, possessing the miraculous effects of enhancing cultivation and stabilizing the soul.
“This spiritual herb is so strange. When it was on the rock wall, it clearly didn’t have any spiritual energy and seemed to be just an ordinary herb. But as soon as I picked it, it…” Jiang Liuya said, her eyes widening as she curiously examined the spiritual herb.
The moment the Bone Marrow Connecting Herb came into her hands, its spiritual energy surged into the sky, spreading outwards like a surging tide.
This powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly attracted an uninvited guest—a disciple of the Soul-Seizing Sect.
A hideous, evil cultivator suddenly appeared before them, his eyes gleaming with greed.
"Hand over the spirit herb, or I'll kill you all!" the evil cultivator said viciously, the magical artifact in his hand gleaming with a sinister light.
Master Yuhe stood in front of his disciples, coldly staring at the evil cultivator, and said, "Don't even think about it! This spiritual herb was obtained by my disciple, why should I hand it over to you?"
The evil cultivator wanted to kill and steal the treasure, so he fought with Master Yuhe.
At first, Jade and True Person had the upper hand. She possessed both fire and earth spiritual roots, making her stronger in both defense and offense, which made the evil cultivator somewhat unable to cope.
Unexpectedly, that evil cultivator had a companion.
The companion, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly used a dark magic while Yu He Zhenren was attacking with all his might, and a black aura shot towards Yu He Zhenren.
Although the master used all his strength to kill the two, he was also affected by the Soul Devouring Sect's Soul Devouring Technique, which damaged his mind and turned him into a mentally impaired person.
Whenever she recalls that scene, her heart is filled with regret and self-blame.
She often wondered if she hadn't picked that spiritual herb, would she have avoided attracting the Soul-Seizing Sect, and would her master have been spared from injury?
Jiang Liuya secretly vowed to find a way to heal her master and restore his former glory.
"So, you want a celestial-grade elixir to help your master regain his senses."
