The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Upon receiving this answer, a hint of doubt flashed in Shi Qi's eyes.

"Grandpa, does a wooden sword need a scabbard?"

"A wooden sword is still a sword, and since it is a sword, it naturally needs a scabbard."

"Besides, it's a wooden sword your master gave you. If you take it out and use it carelessly, wouldn't it be a great pity if it got damaged?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi thought for a moment and said, "Old man, you're right. I'll make a scabbard another day."

"No need to wait for another day, I'll give you a sword sheath instead."

"I happen to have a good piece of wood here, which can be used to make a scabbard for you."

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng pulled out a piece of fine sandalwood from behind his back as if by magic.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changsheng took out a large pile of carving tools.

Watching Chen Changsheng's actions, Shi Qi asked curiously, "Old man, is that a storage magic item?"

"That's right, didn't your master give you a storage magic item?"

"No."

Shi Qi honestly shook his head, his eyes naturally carrying a hint of longing.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely have a storage magic treasure in the future."

"Also, carving the scabbard will take some time, so you can use that time to demonstrate your swordsmanship again."

"I think your movements just now were a bit lacking."

"Okay, then I'll demonstrate it again."

As he spoke, Shi Qi reached out to take the wooden sword from Chen Changsheng's hand.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Shi Qi reached out his hand, Chen Changsheng smacked him hard on the back of his hand.

"Old man, why did you hit me?"

"If you take the wooden sword away, how am I supposed to carve a scabbard for you? What if the size isn't right?"

"But how can I demonstrate swordsmanship without a sword?"

"Just find something, I just want to see your movements, not test your swordsmanship, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Upon receiving this reply, Shi Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

After saying that, Shi Qi broke off a tree branch and began to practice the basic sword technique he had just used.

Unfortunately, even after putting down the wooden sword, Shi Qi's swordsmanship remained crude and unsatisfactory.

After a short while, Shi Qi finished practicing the basic sword techniques once again.

"Old man, how was my swordsmanship just now?"

"Not bad, you've improved a bit since last time."

"But unfortunately, your movements are too stiff; you should relax a bit."

"Then I'll practice it again for you."

As he spoke, Shi Qi prepared to demonstrate his swordsmanship once again.

"no need!"

Chen Changsheng directly rejected Shi Qi, and then said, "Cultivation requires a balance between work and rest."

"You've already demonstrated it several times, and your body is getting a bit tired."

"So you should rest well now and practice swordsmanship again when you've fully recovered."

"OK then."

Having agreed to Chen Changsheng's request, Shi Qi sat down and began to examine the stewed meat in the pot.

Looking at the silent Shi Qi, Chen Changsheng's thoughts raced.

No one knows what Chen Changsheng was thinking, but he used his divine sense to summon a low-level demon beast from a thousand miles away.

"brush!"

The panicked low-level monsters fled in disarray.

"This is a snow rabbit. Its meat is incredibly tender. Quick, grab it!"

Chen Changsheng pointed at the white figure flashing quickly across the wilderness and shouted.

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Shi Qi rushed out immediately.

Watching Shi Qi's relentless pursuit, Chen Changsheng shouted loudly from the spot, "Roasted snow rabbit meat is a delicacy!"

"Whether we can have an extra meal tonight depends on you!"

Chen Changsheng's words made Shi Qi move even faster, but no matter how much he urged his divine power, he still couldn't catch up with the snow-white rabbit.

"How can you be so sure he'll chase after that rabbit?"

Dugu's voice rang in Chen Changsheng's ears. Chen Changsheng picked up a spoon, scooped out a little meat soup, tasted it, and said.

"Climbing trees to catch birds and going down to the river to catch fish are instincts for children living in the countryside."

"Besides, as a glutton, how could he not chase after wild game when he comes across it?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu asked curiously, "How do you know he's a glutton?"

"Other people's jerky is simply boiled, but his jerky is specially braised and wrapped in kraft paper to maintain its pliability."

"In addition, the noodles I just ate were made from top-quality refined flour, and he even took the time to make the toppings."

"Just from the elasticity and texture of the dough, I know he is good at kneading dough."

"And look at this pot of stewed meat, the pieces are all the same size, this is to ensure that the whole pot of meat is cooked at the same temperature."

"The cut of meat we selected was tendon."

"This kind of meat is stewed until it is tender and delicious. Only a true connoisseur can make it this way."

"What's even more amazing is the seasoning in the pot."

"If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of eighteen spices in this, fifteen of which are common spices."

"The remaining three dishes are probably made with local specialties."

"To be honest, I really want to eat this pot of meat."

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng began to scoop up soup with a spoon and drink it.

Faced with Chen Changsheng's behavior, Dugu said coldly, "So what are you trying to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is simple: you probably don't fully understand your apprentice."

"At least you've definitely never tasted his cooking."

Upon hearing this, Dugu slowly appeared and then sat down.

He picked up a spoon, ladled in some hot soup, and brought it to his lips.

The savory broth, brimming with the aroma of meat, entered Dugu's mouth, and he closed his eyes to savor its flavor.

After two breaths, Dugu opened his eyes and said, "Good soup!"

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and took out half a bowl of noodles.

"I set some aside for you before we ate it, have a taste."

After glancing at Chen Changsheng, Dugu did not refuse, but calmly accepted it.

As a top sword cultivator in the Dan Era, Dugu had naturally tasted many delicacies and rare treasures.

But now, facing this ordinary bowl of noodles, Dugu was stunned.

"Suck it!"

The number one swordsman of the Dan Era started eating, but his eating manners were not elegant; they could only be described as so-so.

In no time, he finished off half a bowl of noodles.

Putting the bowl and chopsticks on the ground, Dugu said softly, "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life."

"Hahaha!"

"The things my apprentice makes are, of course, the most delicious things in the world."

Chen Changsheng said with a smile.

"coming!"

Immediately afterwards, the tone changed, and both Chen Changsheng and Dugu looked into the distance.

As Shi Qi chased after the snow rabbit, he became more and more engrossed, and his mood became more and more cheerful as he ran quickly.

Doing what he loved and receiving praise from others helped Shi Qi relax his somewhat depressed mood.

The most crucial element was Chen Changsheng's praise.

This was the first time Shi Qi had ever heard such praise in all these years.

Praise means progress, and progress means that you are one step closer to your master.

If I keep doing this, I might be able to see my master again soon.
