In the forest.

After saying goodbye to Yu Nian, Lin Jingyao and his group continued to go deeper.

Sensing a slight earthquake, Lin Jingyao stopped and spoke to the monk protecting him, "Sir, the Chongming bird that the tree demon has nurtured with its own life force is about to be born. We must take it away before it wakes up. We have to hurry."

Lin Jingyao responded and was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a scream.

Many cultivators ran out of the forest with pale faces, followed by a large group of monsters, rushing towards them like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

"Run! Someone has disturbed the Tree Demon King! The beast tide is coming!"

Lin Jingyao and his group didn't care about their purpose of coming here. Without any hesitation, they turned around and ran.

But the monsters behind them were chasing them relentlessly, as if they were determined to crush them to pieces.

Lin Jingyao took out a handful of talismans and magic weapons from his pocket and threw them at the beast tide, hoping to slow down its speed.

Faced with his fierce bombardment, the vanguard of the beast tide was indeed slow for a while, but soon new monsters arrived to make up for it.

The talisman was consumed at a rapid speed and was about to be caught up by the beast tide. Lin Jingyao was lamenting that his life would end here, and suddenly he thought of the talisman he bought from Yu Nian.

Then he laughed at himself, thinking that they were just some low-level spells, better than nothing.

As a last resort, he applied the Wind-Speed ​​Talisman, but he felt his body lighten and his speed suddenly increased. It was at least five times more effective than the Wind-Speed ​​Talismans on the market.

Subconsciously, he threw out the fireball talisman. The monsters that hit it had almost no resistance and fell to the ground with a bang. The weaker ones were directly reduced to ashes.

He threw the remaining wind-moving talismans to the monks who were traveling with him in surprise, and the group finally ran out of Qingyun Valley after going around in circles.

"...Thanks to that sister's talisman, I will definitely visit Weirui Mountain when I have time in the future."

Of course, Yu Nian was completely unaware of these things. There were three hungry disciples in the sect, so she left after selling the talismans.

Yu Nian bought pots, pans, and some ingredients and seasonings in Weirui City and converted a side hall of Fengxian Hall into a kitchen.

Then, under the expectant gaze of her three apprentices, she rolled up her sleeves and skillfully lit a fire to cook.

In the evening, they had hot meals, which made Ye Tang, who had been taking fasting pills for a long time, so excited that she almost cried.

"Master, you can actually cook!"

Yu Nian's lips curled slightly. "Stir-fried beef, mapo tofu, braised chicken legs, stir-fried lotus root, and a tomato and egg soup. Four dishes and one soup are almost there."

You know, what she bought were crops and animal meat grown by monks, which contained spiritual energy and were very expensive. There were only four of them, and it would be a waste if they cooked too many dishes and couldn't finish them.

Ling Cang looked at Yu Nian using her hands, which were whiter and more delicate than jade, to serve them food, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

After sitting down, Yu Nian picked up the chopsticks, but found that the three disciples were staring at her face and hands, but had no intention of picking up the chopsticks to eat.

"Why don't you eat?"

Yu Nian picked up a chicken leg for each of the three people and himself before they even started eating and hadn't touched their chopsticks.

A chicken leg cost five spirit stones, buy four get one free, and there were only four of them, so there was one extra chicken leg on the plate.

After thinking for a while, Yu Nian gave the extra one to the youngest Ye Tang.

"Thank you, Master." Ye Tang picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, his eyes lighting up.

Then, Yu Nian felt a chill beside him, turned around, and saw Ling Cang's death ray.

"Master, you are biased." Ling Cang said with a cold face.

Yu Nian's hands, hidden in her sleeves, trembled in fear at Ling Cang's words.

You know, if she remembered correctly, her eldest disciple, the villain, turned evil because of the heroine's favoritism... If you ask her what sentence she fears most now, it should be this one.

Yu Nian quickly picked up the chicken leg from her bowl and put it into Ling Cang's bowl. "Yours."

Only then did Ling Cang pick up his chopsticks with satisfaction.

“It smells so good…” Ye Tang ate and drank like a vicious dog pouncing on its food. “It’s much better than what my mother cooks.”

Yu Nian patted the little girl's head and said gently, "Eat slowly, it's not that exaggerated."

"It's true!" Ye Tang tried hard to swallow the rice in his cheeks: "My mother's cooking is weird. She almost poisoned me when I was a child... I don't know how my mother is doing. I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her so much. She could have taught me..."

As the little girl spoke, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes.

Yu Nian didn't think much of it. She just thought that Ye Tang was too young and so far away from home, and she missed her family. She gently comforted her: "Xiaotang, be good. Your mother is an adult, and nothing will happen. What we need to do now is to take care of ourselves and work hard to become stronger."

"Master is right. I'm actually very happy to be here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you, Master and I...Master is the best person in the world to me, except for Mother."

When she thought of this, a warm feeling surged in Ye Tang's heart. Since she was a child, wherever she went with her mother, she was called a little witch and was chased and killed.

Perhaps it was because her mother had a bad reputation and was afraid of bringing trouble to her that she was unwilling to take her to live a life of wandering and hiding.

Children don’t quite understand the heaviness of separation. Some feelings come and go quickly, and they soon start eating happily again.

The spiritual plants and spiritual meat almost melt in the mouth and will not leave any impurities in the body. The spiritual energy content has little effect on Yu Nian, but it is of great benefit to the cultivation of several young disciples. Eating them all year round can also strengthen the body.

But the price is really not cheap.

While eating, Yu Nian thought that the entire Weirui Mountain belonged to them and they could easily set aside space to meet their needs.

Spiritual plants need to be carefully cultivated every day, and issues such as precipitation, soil, pests, etc. cannot be neglected, so we don’t need to consider them for now. However, raising livestock such as spiritual chickens is very simple and can be done.

Yu Nian went to the field for an inspection right after dinner, and the task of washing the dishes fell on Ling Cang and the other two.

Of course she wouldn't say that she just didn't like washing dishes.

"Old rules, whoever draws the longest stick will help Master wash the dishes!"

After he finished speaking, Ye Tang's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached into the bamboo tube with his right hand, pulled out a bamboo stick and held it tightly in his palm.

Ling Cang put his hand in with an expressionless face.

Only then did Yang Yi realize it and picked up the last bamboo stick in the bamboo tube.

The three of them spread out their right hands. Ye Tang laughed and patted Yang Yi on the shoulder, "Second Brother, you should go today!"

This was the forty-sixth time that Yang Yi had drawn the longest wooden stick. Yang Yi didn't think much about it, just nodded and went to wash the dishes.

Seeing Yang Yi leave, Ye Tang spread out his left hand to reveal the other half of the broken bamboo stick, and gave Ling Cang a triumphant smile.

Ling Cang's expression remained calm. He also spread out his left hand to reveal the other half of the broken bamboo stick, and finally revealed a sinister smile...
