Chapter 12 The boar is pregnant. Who did it?
Lin Du landed at the area behind the dining hall's kitchen.
There aren't that many disciples in each generation of the Wushang Sect, so even if they have different masters, they are mostly arranged according to the time of their admission and age.
Mo Lin is the eldest senior brother among the 100th generation of disciples, and the second senior sister, Xia Tianwu, is the white-robed female cultivator who accompanied the sect leader to welcome Lin Du that day. She is cold and aloof, steady and unworldly.
Of course, that's just the surface.
This second senior sister among the younger generation had a single fire spiritual root and possessed a strange fire in her body. She studied under Jiang Liang, the only alchemy practitioner of the previous generation of the Supreme Sect. However, because she had not yet fully adapted to the strange fire, she blew up several palaces and kitchens in the sect within just one year.
And it was because of this unique fire that she became pregnant after being deceived. The scumbag had a caesarean section to take the baby away and used it as medicine for his beloved who was poisoned by a cold.
Mo Lin had already flown to the roof familiarly and started repairing the hole.
Xia Tianwu met Lin Du's hesitant look, his face still cold, and only the words he spoke were a little weak, "Junior Master... I just want to make you a pot of donkey-hide gelatin cake to replenish your qi and blood."
"Junior Master, now that we're here, why don't you try it?" Xia Tianwu pointed behind him.
Lin Du looked in the direction she pointed. A large hole was blown open in the wall. Through the charred hole, he could see the pitch-black pot without a lid and in pieces. The bottom of the pot was covered with a layer of black, unknown sticky substance, which glowed strangely in the dusk.
Really... burnt cake.
Lin Du was silent for a moment, "I understand, but I think this burnt cake is really..."
The cold beauty's eyes dimmed, revealing a pitiful and aggrieved look. No matter who saw it, they would feel guilty.
It’s a pity that Lin Du has a bad heart.
Xia Tian is a genius in refining elixirs. Others refine elixirs to save lives, but she refines elixirs to kill people.
As long as you don't follow the recipe and use your own tricks, most of the things you refine will be mines, some of which have biological and chemical attack capabilities.
In at least some sense, it is also a kind of genius.
As for the thing cooked with the strange fire, whether it can be eaten is another matter. For others, it may just be a slight side effect. But for someone with ice spiritual roots like Lin Du, if the fire poison enters her heart, it will kill her directly.
She gave a serious suggestion, "Although this burnt cake may not look very tasty, I think its viscosity and glueiness can be used to build bricks for your senior brother's wall."
Mo Lin jumped down from the roof, his voice still cheerful, "Junior sister, the roof is fixed, what should we do with these remaining things?"
Xia Tian sighed, lowered his eyebrows and said, "It can't be wasted, just feed it to the pigs."
Mo Lin's eyes moved, and he vaguely realized something, "Junior sister, the boar in the zoo is pregnant, it's not you who did it, right?"
Xia Tian looked at his senior brother innocently, "Ah? Senior brother, how could I possibly…"
Mo Lin knew she had misunderstood. "I mean, you fed the waste elixir to the pig and made the boar pregnant?"
Xia Tian avoided his gaze guiltily, "These are rare and good medicinal herbs. We can't waste them. They will just be fed to pigs."
"What a talent! Isn't the legendary pregnancy pill out now? Can it be used on men?"
Lin Du hugged his arms and touched his chin, watching the excitement, then turned to meet Ni Jinxuan's trembling eyes.
The new disciples behind her lined up in a row, their eyes revealing the same sense of despair after the dream filter was shattered.
When Xia Tianwu heard what Lin Du said, his eyes lit up. He threw his things away, clutched a notebook in his hand, and ran to the alchemy room, leaving a mess on the ground.
Just at this moment, gurgling sounds were heard one after another.
The four young men looked at their eldest senior brother in unison.
The longing eyes were filled with "Brother, I'm hungry, I want food."
On weekdays, the elders take turns to cook and take care of the sect's businesses, including the fertile fields, animal farms, and subordinate shops. They, the younger ones, only need to eat their meals obediently and help out occasionally.
But today it happened to be the turn of Xia Tianwu's master Jiang Liang. Jiang Liang was refining the elixir and couldn't leave, so he ordered his disciples to cook some rice and stew some soup first.
This is the current situation.
Mo Lin put down his things helplessly and said, "You guys go to the dining hall to meditate for a while. I'll cook right away."
Lin Du swam in the icy water for a long time today and was really hungry. "Let me help. Let's cook some food."
She was an orphan and had lived to the age of thirteen so naturally she had the ability to survive. Mo Lin didn't doubt why she could cook.
When the adults are away, the kids are in charge.
Just as she picked up a handful of leeks and was about to start cutting them, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly started to ring in her mind.
[According to the plot, Mo Lin will bring back his destined fate when he goes down the mountain for training this summer.]
Lin Du paused in her movements. These days, she was thrown into the water every day, and when she came out of the water, she stayed on the ice to practice breathing and cultivation. Every day, she wanted to shake her head to see if water had entered her brain and drowned her system, otherwise why didn't this guy speak for a long time.
It's already the end of March, and summer is almost here.
She glanced at Mo Lin, who was squatting down and concentrating on plucking Ling Chien's hair. "Should I go with him?"
It is indeed the Taoist choice for Fengchu Realm Dayuanman to go down the mountain to see the world in order to build the foundation, but Lin Du is not an ordinary disciple. She originally has no father and no mother. She has been struggling in the world for the past thirteen years and has already experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. In addition, her health is not good, so Yan Ye has no intention of asking her to go out.
[It is recommended that the host solve the problem from the source and let Mo Lin avoid the bad luck, so that he can get new medicinal materials for treatment as soon as possible. ]
“What is the reward after solving the problem?”
[One Heavenly Heart Lotus, which can be used to repair the host's heart]
“What if it’s 50% complete?”
[Because the main plot is about the redemption of the love-brained protagonist, there are medicinal pills as rewards for each plot point completed. However, once the plot deepens and the protagonist's emotions develop, it is very likely that the mission will not be completed and the key medicinal materials needed for your body will not be obtained, so I suggest that you cut the Gordian knot quickly. ]
"Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
Lin Du pressed his bright white knuckles on the juicy green leeks, his eyes were gentle, and he held the kitchen knife in one hand and cut the leeks one by one.
System: ...This damn sense of immersion.
Lin Du clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed like he said everything.
Of course, you have to cut the leeks slowly and in sections.
"The food tastes better when it's cooked." Lin Du lowered his eyes, "You want me to get rid of Mo Lin's affinity and prevent them from having any contact. I don't think that's a good idea."
[I think... Host, you just want to take advantage of me]
Lin Du casually threw the pork belly into the pot, making a sizzling sound.
"Other people's systems have to follow the plot. Are there no butterfly effects and plot inertia in this world?"
Even if the first time is cut off, according to the plot inertia, the protagonist and Pianyuan may meet in other ways. It is better to follow the plot, and she will wait and see how things develop, and then take action when the time is right.
From what she had seen these days, she had not noticed the high-sounding description of the Supreme Sect in the plot. The three love-brains were just innocent teenagers. There was no sign of future suffering. They were all living people.
The system's words are more about the regret for these talented people who abandoned the Tao because of love, lost their talents, and fell into the mortal world. It is eager to cut off these fates and pull these people back to their original life trajectory.
If she is a tool used by heaven to correct fate, then what about the original Lin Du? If the plot has already played out a tragic ending, is there really no price to pay for her intervention and change?
[I don’t understand, honey. This is my first time as a system, so I have to give it a try.]
Lin Du picked up a spatula, suspecting that this system must have originated from Taobao customer service.
The pork belly was stir-fried until it released oil, making a sizzling sound and gradually turned into a golden color. A handful of green leeks were put into the pot, and a cloud of white mist and green smoke burst out.
The skinny boy was holding a spatula, and the little girl in pink, who had come up from behind him out of nowhere, came up in time with a plate.
"Master Junior, the plate."
