Rong Zi swallowed the jerky in her mouth and glanced up at the two of them.
"Can't you tell? Rebuilding the sect, huh? Do you plan to live in a cave forever? Is that a place fit for a human?"
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui: "..."
Who was it that said yesterday that the cave was surrounded by a babbling brook, lush vegetation, and fragrant flowers, a truly beautiful place where you could go out and stargaze if you couldn't sleep?
In just one night, that place has become a place no human being can live in?
Yun Jing frowned. "Master, rebuilding the sect will probably require a lot of spirit stones, right?"
After all, their sect had been reduced to nothing but ruins.
It's called renovation, but it's really just rebuilding a new one.
"Don't worry, your master is quite wealthy now~" Rong Zi said, taking a leisurely sip of her honey tea.
While in the Monster Forest, Rong Zi collected many monster corpses.
She basically turned everything edible into jerky or various meat snacks.
As for the inedible ones, she sold them all on the way back. Although the income was not as much as that of the three Crimson Flame Fruits, she still made quite a bit of spirit stones.
In other words, she's rich now.
Yun Jing and Gu Xiaochui were both somewhat surprised to see her so relaxed.
Building a sect is extremely expensive.
Rong Zi is usually so greedy and never spends any money, but I never expected that he would be willing to take out so many spirit stones all at once.
Rong Zi seemed to suddenly remember something, and got up from the rattan chair. She looked at Yun Jing and said, "By the way, I have something to talk to you about. Now that you're awake, come with me."
Yun Jing was a little confused, but he followed after her.
Rong Zi led him through many twists and turns until they finally arrived at a small-looking spiritual spring.
It's called a spiritual spring, but the spiritual energy inside doesn't seem to be very concentrated.
It was as if it had been completely drained by something...
However, Yun Jing's attention was not on the spiritual spring at this moment, but on the large pot set up next to it.
He paused, and the scene of Rong Zi stewing him in this pot in the Monster Forest flashed through his mind.
Yun Jing hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the pot and asked in a low voice, "Master, what... is this for?"
Rong Zi raised an eyebrow. "You went in there once before, I thought you were already used to it."
Understanding the meaning behind her words, Yun Jing subconsciously took a step back.
“Master, I am already in the Qi Refining stage, so I no longer need to take Body Tempering Pills.”
"Don't worry, you won't be allowed to eat anything this time."
"So what do you want to do..."
Rong Zi waved to him, "Sit in first, and listen to me. Just do whatever I tell you to do."
Yun Jing's expression was somewhat conflicted. "Can't we just use a different bathtub?"
The thought of how many bizarre and monstrous beasts had been stewed in this pot sent chills down his spine.
Rong Zi scolded, "Did I forget? Besides, buying a bathtub doesn't cost money, does it? It wasn't easy for me to raise you two disciples. You should be more considerate of me in everything. In matters like this, it's best to save money wherever possible."
Yun Jing: "..."
Didn't she just say she was a little rich woman?
Gu Xiaochui followed.
He looked at Yun Jing, then at the pot, completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Seeing that Yun Jing hesitated for a moment, then walked to the pot and climbed in with practiced ease, the expression on his face instantly cracked.
After Yun Jing sat down in the pot, Rong Zi took out a bucket and began scooping water from the nearby spiritual spring and adding it to the pot.
That look was exactly like what she did before she always stewed meat...
Gu Xiaochui rushed forward in a panic, grabbed the bucket from Rong Zi's hand, and said with an incredulous expression, "You...you...even if you're greedy, there's so much jerky you can eat, how could you...how could you..."
Rong Zi: "..."
Has this guy's brain run away from home again?
Rong Zi immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head.
"What are you thinking? Your master doesn't eat people!"
Gu Xiaochui winced in pain, "Then what's wrong with you...?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Rong Zi thought for a moment, then shoved the bucket in his hand into his. "Here, add water to the pot."
Gu Xiaochui was stunned, "This..."
Rong Zi nudged him, "Go quickly."
"Okay." Gu Xiaochui obediently carried the bucket and added water to the pot.
As the water in the pot gradually rose above Yun Jing's body, he unconsciously swallowed.
Yun Jing: "..."
Why are you swallowing your saliva when you're just adding water?
He's a human being, you really can't eat him!
Seeing that the water had been added enough, Rong Zi told Gu Xiaochui to stop, then took the egg out of the Hongmeng Ring, placed it in her palm, and asked it a question.
What's the next step?
Egg replied, "Just pour a little Five Thunder Liquid in and let him absorb it."
Rong Zi was taken aback. "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Are you sure a person can absorb this thing directly?"
She has already checked.
Five Thunder Liquid is the essence formed from heavenly thunder, and its thunder attribute is extremely pure.
The so-called heavenly lightning is the tribulation lightning experienced by cultivators in the tribulation stage when they ascend to immortality.
After a tribulation, a trace of heavenly lightning essence may occasionally remain at the place where a cultivator undergoes the tribulation.
If this essence of heavenly lightning were used by weapon cultivators for refining weapons, it would be fine, but if it were directly absorbed by people, no one knows what the consequences would be.
Dandan explained, "With Yun Jing's spiritual roots and talents, as long as it's not excessive, absorbing a little bit will be entirely beneficial to him."
"This Five Thunder Liquid is considered the purest essence of thunder in the world, and it dissipates very easily. Therefore, after being used by many cultivators in refining artifacts, it actually only leaves behind a little bit of thunder essence. The rest of the thunder essence dissipates during the refining process. This is why artifacts with Five Thunder Liquid added have no thunder attribute attack ability at all."
"Using it for weapon crafting is a complete waste of its potential."
Rong Zi's eyes sparkled as she asked expectantly, "Then can I absorb it too?"
She possesses a chaotic spiritual root.
Spiritual power and essence of any attribute are beneficial to her.
Egg didn't deny it, but replied, "You can absorb all of what he left over."
"Alright, let's get started."
Rong Zi placed the egg on his shoulder, then took out the Five Thunder Liquid and went to the pot.
She looked at Yun Jing sitting in the pot, raised an eyebrow and said, "You heard everything just now, right? After absorbing this Five Thunder Liquid, your cultivation might improve again. Then you won't be afraid of not being able to beat Gu Xiaochui, will you?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jing immediately perked up.
"Master, you can go ahead and fall, I'm ready."
Three months from now, he must defeat Gu Xiaochui and defend his position as the senior disciple!
Gu Xiaochui: "..."
He's still here...
