For a Nascent Soul level cultivator, capturing a wild boar alive is an effortless task, and Ye Lan happens to be a Nascent Soul level cultivator.

He first encountered the group of wild boars two months ago. During that time, he had been searching for traces of other cultivators. In the forest, he saw a patch of fruit trees that had been ruined. Curious, he took a closer look and followed the trail to a pigsty. Inside the pigsty was a group of wild boars. The piglets were newly born and were nursing against their mother. The culprit who ruined the fruit trees was undoubtedly the mother pig who was lying down nursing.

Ye Lan didn't disturb their happy parent-child time and turned to leave. However, when she returned to the cave, she mentioned the incident to Xiao Bai.

Talking to and teasing the little demon-devouring lion was Ye Lan's favorite pastime in the Cloud Cave. Aside from wild beasts, there was no sign of human life; the seasons remained unchanged. This desolate environment instilled in him a sense of loneliness, a feeling of being abandoned once again. Even though Ye Lan had experienced life and death, he found this kind of life without human presence unbearable. The presence of the little white lion, to some extent, alleviated his loneliness.

After realizing that the Great Devouring Lion wouldn't harm him, he started talking to the two of them. These two creatures could clearly understand human speech, and he would go crazy if he didn't talk to someone. When they were in a good mood, they could even give Ye Lan some responses.

Back to the group of wild boars, two months had passed, and they had grown very strong. Ye Lan gave up the idea of ​​setting a trap at night and, taking advantage of the mother boar's inattention, forcibly abducted the strongest wild boar.

The little wild boar weighed forty or fifty pounds when carried in his hand. To avoid attracting other wild animals, Ye Lan did not kill it directly. Instead, he carried it by its hind legs and flew back to the vicinity of the cave before dealing with it.

In his previous life, Ye Lan learned how to slaughter pigs from his master. He was incredibly smooth throughout the entire pig-slaughtering process. His master had even praised him, saying that if he didn't become a cook, he could make a lot of money selling pork.

Ye Lan worked quickly and finished cleaning in no time. He marinated the cleaned wild boar and put it in his space to let it absorb the flavor.

After his last advancement, Ye Lan's space increased several times in size, now exceeding ten square meters. He also discovered that spiritual plants could grow freely within his space, requiring only soil, and their quality was no less than that found in the Cloud Cave. Since then, he has filled his space with fertile soil, and now it's filled with many medicinal herbs and ingredients he has dug up.

Moreover, inanimate objects won't rot inside, so this space has become Ye Lan's super refrigerator. He made several shelves and put them inside to neatly arrange things. Now, this little wild boar is placed on the shelf.

After dealing with the wild boar, Ye Lan went into the forest to look for spiritual fruits that could be used to make drinks. He headed southwest, where he had seen a small patch of wild orange trees before. Sweet and sour honey orange juice would be perfect with honey-roasted pork.

The orange tree was laden with bright yellow oranges, which looked very tempting. Ye Lan was fooled by its beautiful appearance last time. These pretty oranges were so sour that they made her teeth ache. No wonder they contained spiritual energy and were not eaten by spirit beasts.

Ye Lan picked a full armful of oranges, put the oranges in his spatial storage, and turned to go back. Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong. There were bloodstains on the leaves of an orange tree. It hadn't rained in Cloud Cave for many days, so the bloodstains had dried and wouldn't be noticeable unless you looked closely.

Ye Lan didn't think much of it, assuming that the little monster had been scratched while picking fruit and some had dripped onto it. He looked around but didn't see any other monsters, so he went back.

After returning home, Ye Lan made a large jar of honey orange juice. He then placed the sealed jar in the river to chill it. He planned to use the remaining oranges to make jam.

Because honey-glazed roasted pig takes a long time to roast, Ye Lan started making a simple grill while the sun was still high in the sky.

The ingredients in the Cloud Cave don't need any processing, and they don't have any unpleasant smell. This is Ye Lan's favorite thing about the cave. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to use wild boar to make roast whole pig. You see, wild boar meat in his previous life had an extremely strong gamey smell that permeated the meat and was very difficult to remove. In the Cloud Cave, there's no need to worry about that; normal cooking methods are all that's needed.

After burning the wood into charcoal, the wild boar that had been set up was placed on it to roast. Ye Lan had scalded the skin of the wild boar with boiling water. He had been learning cooking from his master for more than ten years, and even in the wild, he did not want to skip these steps.

The wild boar meat began to change color after being roasted over charcoal. Ye Lan brushed a thin layer of honey evenly on it. He turned the wild boar over and brushed honey on the other side as well. After brushing on the honey, the color of the roasted pig slowly turned golden. The aroma of the meat and the sweetness of the honey tempted Ye Lan's taste buds, and he couldn't help but swallow.

The little demon-devouring lion inside the cave was lured out to see the honey-roasted pig that humans were praising to the skies.

"Little White, wait a little longer." Ye Lan glanced at it and continued to manually flip the roasted pig over to ensure it was heated evenly.

Xiao Bai ignored him, staring intently at the roast pig, a trace of water visible at the corner of his mouth.

Little White was getting impatient waiting by the grill. This servant was really annoying. It smelled so good and he still said we couldn't eat it. It angrily swung its tail at Ye Lan's back.

The little demon lion didn't use much force; for Ye Lan, that kind of force was about the same as a kitten flicking its tail.

"Alright, just wait for me to go to the river to get some drinks, then we can eat." Ye Lan flipped the roasted pig over again and walked to the river to get the chilled honey orange juice.

The sun was beginning to set, and there was still a trace of heat in the air. Taking a sip of the cool honey orange juice made everyone feel refreshed. Ye Lan poured a glass for Xiao Bai as well.

Little White hesitated to drink the yellowish water; it looked delicious yet also like poison.

"It's delicious, you should try it." Ye Lan said, picking up her own glass and taking another sip.

Ye Lan now uses tableware that he makes himself. He has a shelf full of handmade plates and cups in his space, some made of wood and some of stone.

Little White couldn't resist the sweet and sour aroma in the end; the servant probably didn't have the guts to harm it.

It turned out that its guess was correct. Drinking the yellow juice did not cause poisoning and it tasted really good, but it made it very hungry!

Looking at the suddenly empty cup, Ye Lan chuckled. This little demon-devouring lion is really greedy. If it were outside, it could be easily tricked out of its food by anyone with just a chicken leg.

Much later, Ye Lan apologized for her foolish idea. This little darling was incredibly picky, but that's another story.

"Try this roast pork." As if hearing its thoughts, Ye Lan cut a large piece of roast pork for it with a knife, and seeing that it was difficult for it to bite, cut it into smaller pieces.

Ye Lan also tried a piece. The roasted honey-glazed pig was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you cut it with a knife, the skin felt crispy and it was also very crunchy to eat. Because the wild boar was still small, the meat was fatty but not greasy, and there was spiritual energy on it that could be absorbed into the body along with the pork.

Half of the roasted pig was given to the Great Devouring Demon Lion, while Xiaobai and Ye Lan ate the rest. Strangely enough, the Great Devouring Demon Lion didn't love food as much as Xiaobai. It never showed any interest in food, only showing disdain for things it didn't like. It wouldn't even let Ye Lan take it into the cave.

Eating delicious food while recovering spiritual energy is Ye Lan's favorite way to cultivate.

Outside, there's a breathtaking sunset view. Enjoying top-quality roast pork, and when you get tired of it, a sip of sweet and sour chilled orange juice to cleanse your palate—life couldn't be more comfortable.

However, just when Ye Lan thought she would live comfortably for the next three years, an accident occurred.
