When Ye Lan left the riverbank, he tore off some pieces of clothing and tied them to the surrounding trees. These pieces of clothing would guide him to his current cave, hoping that the original owner's group of friends would have a conscience and come down to find him.
But he didn't dare to have too much hope, after all, the cliff was very steep and the forest was very large, so Ye Lan was still very surprised to hear someone calling his name.
Ye Lan called out in the direction the sound came from, "I'm here!"
He had injured his leg when he fell, and he walked with a limp. He slowly walked out of the cave, leaning on a wooden stick.
In this unfamiliar place, returning to his original sect is the best option for him.
The original owner of this body was also an orphan in this world. After being kindly taken in by the male protagonist's parents, she was placed in the outer sect to cultivate and became an outer sect disciple.
Because the original owner of this body was aloof and only focused on cultivation, he finally managed to reach the early stage of the Golden Core realm and become an inner disciple. He didn't have many friends, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized as different.
"Great, you're still alive!"
We've been looking for you for so long!
When his companions arrived at the cave and saw that he was still alive, they were all genuinely excited and gathered around him.
Although they weren't very familiar with Ye Lan, he was, after all, their fellow disciple, and he had fallen off a cliff while saving his companion. They didn't want to sacrifice such a loyal friend.
"Thank you for saving me," said the tallest boy to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan looked at the white-robed youth who was speaking to him. From the original owner's memories, she knew that this was Jiang Ning. She thought to herself: This person is indeed worthy of being the protagonist. Although everyone is sixteen years old, the male lead has cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. His aura is indeed somewhat different, and he is also very handsome.
Ye Lan nodded to him in response to his gratitude. The male lead was someone who always repaid kindness, and as long as she didn't become his enemy, she should be able to live a good life in the future.
Just as Ye Lan had thought, Jiang Ning didn't say much, but he was already planning how to repay Ye Lan.
At the time, Jiang Ning was focused on capturing the spirit rabbit. When the black snake attacked, he could have most likely dodged it, but he would have been injured. He was able to escape unscathed thanks to Ye Lan for blocking the attack.
There were seven people in total who entered the forest this time. Except for Ye Lan, who fell down, the other six people also made it.
"Wow, it smells so good! Ye Lan, what were you eating just now?" a fat man in the group suddenly asked.
The excitement of meeting Ye Lan turned into hunger, and in their search for Ye Lan, they barely had time to eat the dry rations they had brought.
Ye Lan picked up the remaining beggar's chicken and shared it with them. He ate two chicken legs himself and was now about 70% full. He just didn't know if there was enough left for them to share.
Everyone was indeed hungry, so they didn't stand on ceremony with him and sat down on the ground to share the remaining chicken.
"Mmm, so delicious! Why does this chicken have a subtle hint of wine?"
The fat man asked aloud while eating. This fat man was called Jiang Nan, and he also belonged to the Jiang family branch. He had good talent, and even though he didn't like cultivating, his cultivation level was still good. Moreover, he loved to eat meat. This chicken was fragrant and could replenish spiritual energy. The skin was crispy and delicious.
"I added some wine," Ye Lan said regretfully, "but unfortunately there's no salt, so it doesn't have much flavor."
Just now, Ye Lan was worried that the chicken would have a gamey smell, so she found a bottle of wine in her space and smeared it on the chicken. She also poured some wine into the mud coating the chicken so that it would have a faint wine aroma.
“I have some salt here,” another girl said from the side, and took out a small bottle for Ye Lan.
This girl is named He Luoluo. She is the eldest daughter of the wealthy He family in the mortal realm. Her mother is from a collateral branch of the Jiang family. Because she likes the excitement of the mortal world, she often goes there to play. During one of her travels, she met He Luoluo's father. The two fell in love and got married, and then He Luoluo was born.
He Luoluo's mother also doted on her. When she sent her to the sect to study, she was afraid that she would not be used to the food and clothing, so she filled her space with a lot of daily necessities, including a small bottle of fine salt and other ingredients.
Ye Lan took the bottle, first sprinkling some fine salt on the male protagonist's chicken wings, and then sprinkling some on the ones Jiang Nan and the others were holding.
It has to be said that the beggar's chicken with salt was indeed tastier than the previous one. Seeing that the group was still hungry, Ye Lan suggested that they go hunt a few more wild chickens, and he would help roast them.
An hour later, he got several pheasants, one of which was still alive. The pheasant that wasn't killed was tied up by the vines that the protagonist used.
None of these disciples had ever cooked before, so they weren't expected to be able to handle it. Ye Lan dutifully leaned on her crutch and went to the riverbank to clean the chicken. Jiang Ning and the others voluntarily helped out, following her example.
With salt and spices, beggar's chicken is elevated to a whole new level in terms of both color and aroma, and even the skin is roasted to a deeper golden brown, filling the air with fragrance.
At this moment, in Ye Lan's heart, He Luoluo was like a fairy. She didn't know how to cook, yet she had such a complete set of ingredients.
Jiang Nan, who was eating nearby, couldn't lift his head. He couldn't believe that the chicken that Ye Lan had covered with mud could taste so good. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he simply couldn't imagine that such a method existed.
The whole chicken was wrapped in large leaves, so no soil seeped in. When you opened it, it was clean and had a unique fragrance of leaves and a faint aroma of wine.
Moreover, this pheasant possessed a lot of spiritual energy, and eating it made him feel very comfortable. He decided to have his servant prepare one for him every day after he returned home.
The others also found it unbelievable that Ye Lan's cooking skills were so good. Did they, as outer disciples, all have to cook for themselves?
If only I had chatted with him properly when we entered the forest, and then he could have shown off his skills, so we wouldn't have had to eat those hard steamed buns. After all, none of us had met the requirements for fasting, so we still needed to eat. The steamed buns made by the canteen were hard and unpalatable.
"Let's rest tonight, treat Ye Lan's wounds, and set off to leave the forest tomorrow."
Jiang Ning, being the young master, was naturally the leader of the team. When he spoke, no one objected. After everyone finished eating, they tidied up the place and decided to make do for the night.
Jiang Ning, who knew some medical skills, treated Ye Lan's wounds, while the others took turns keeping watch at night to prevent attacks from other wild animals.
The next morning, everyone ate the spiritual fruits that Jiang Ning had found to fill their stomachs, and then set off south, which was the direction they were heading back to their sect. Because Ye Lan had fallen and injured his leg, Jiang Ning took him back on his sword.
The journey, which was originally scheduled for three days, was compressed into two days because Jiang Ning was in a hurry to get the Snow Mountain Grass and Spirit Rabbit Marrow back.
Back at the sect, Jiang Ning asked Jiang Nan to settle Ye Lan in, and then took the Snow Mountain Grass and Spirit Rabbit Marrow to find his father and brother, telling them about how Ye Lan had saved him.
Jiang Ning's father praised him for doing a good job, and then asked Jiang Ning to lead Doctor Shen to treat Ye Lan's injuries.
Ye Lan's condition is not serious. Jiang Ning and the others have already given him some basic treatment in the forest. Now all that's needed is to completely heal his external injuries.
After treating and bandaging his wound, Doctor Shen gave Ye Lan two pills and then left with Jiang Ning and the others. His top priority now was to heal Jiang An's leg.
Jiang An, as the eldest son of the alliance leader, possessed talent no less than Jiang Ning's, reaching the late Golden Core stage at the young age of eighteen and attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, during his advancement, Jiang An was ambushed, with snake venom added to the pills he used to replenish his energy.
In order to withstand the lightning tribulation and save his life, Jiang An concentrated all the toxins in his left leg and relied on bloodletting to expel the toxins, which saved his life, but also injured his left leg.
Alliance Leader Jiang and his group captured the traitorous disciple, but Jiang An's leg cannot be completely healed and requires the use of spiritual medicine to maintain it.
Recently, Physician Shen discovered from ancient books that Snow Mountain Grass and Spirit Rabbit Marrow have miraculous effects on treating leg injuries, so Jiang Ning volunteered to find these two items.
His brother has rarely come out of his room since he was injured, and he doesn't want his older brother, whom he has always admired, to become so despondent.
Jiang, the leader of the alliance, thought it was time for his youngest son to go out and gain some experience, so he agreed to his request.
Fortunately, they successfully obtained the Snow Mountain Grass and Spirit Rabbit Marrow this time. These two items really are effective.
