That day, Jiang Nan found Ye Lan while practicing in actual combat. As soon as she arrived, she discovered that Jiang Ning was also there. Jiang Ning was telling Ye Lan how to use spiritual power most effectively, while Ye Lan listened and used spiritual power at the same time.

Jiang Ning told Ye Lan to imagine the weapon he wanted in her mind and use her mental power to control the spiritual power. Ye Lan followed this method and found that it was indeed effective.

Jiang Nan wasn't surprised by this, since the three of them had been eating together for the past few days. After Jiang Nan offered to pay for the ingredients and Ye Lan to cook, Jiang Ning also offered to join in, and Ye Lan decided to ask Jiang Ning for guidance.

After finishing their training today, the three of them went to the dining hall. Jiang Nan suggested that he wanted to eat fish. The charitable hall was serving fish chunks today, and the smell was very fragrant, so he believed that the kitchen still had fresh fish for them.

After spending the last few days together, Ye Lan discovered that Jiang Ning prefers spicy food, while Jiang Nan is open to any kind of meat. So today, he plans to make a boiled fish dish that is fresh, spicy, and meaty, which would be perfect for the three of them.

Ye Lan was in charge of selecting ingredients. The other two watched as he took bean sprouts, lettuce, and eggs from the kitchen, in addition to fish. They rarely ate bean sprouts because they contained very little spiritual energy and were only popular among ordinary people. However, the kitchen had a wide variety of dishes, so it was not surprising that they had them. After all, some disciples from the outer sect would miss the tastes of ordinary people.

The first thing Ye Lan did upon arriving at the small kitchen was to clean the fish. It must be said that the ingredients in this world are very friendly to a chef like him. The fish was still lively and jumping around, so its vitality must mean that the meat quality is also quite good.

The other two watched as Ye Lan deboned and removed the fish's vein, then sliced ​​the fish meat into thin pieces. They knew they would be enjoying a new dish.

Ye Lan first marinated the fish with starch and egg white, then stir-fried the ingredients. There was no ready-made base sauce, so he had to stir-fry it himself. Jiang Nan, who was standing to the side, was called away to wash the bean sprouts. He needed to remove the roots of the bean sprouts and cut the lettuce into thin strips. The task of cutting the lettuce was given to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning was skilled in swordsmanship, so this should not be a problem for him.

After preparing the base ingredients, Ye Lan heated oil in another pot, added minced scallions, ginger, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns to stir-fry until fragrant, then added the prepared base ingredients and stir-fried until the oil turned red. Finally, she added a large bowl of water and brought it to a boil.

The two people beside her had already prepared the bean sprouts and lettuce. Ye Lan first put the bean sprouts and lettuce into the broth to blanch them and then took them out. Next, she put the fish slices in and blanched them again before serving them together. A bowl of hot boiled fish was basically ready. Finally, she sprinkled on scallions, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, white sesame seeds and other condiments, and poured hot oil over them. The boiled fish sizzled and released a rich aroma. Even Jiang Ning, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled it. This delicious and visually appealing boiled fish was now ready.

Jiang Nan, who was standing nearby, had already served rice to the three of them, indicating that they should start eating as soon as the boiled fish was served. He was joking, of course; if Jiang Nan could resist such a delicious dish, how could he possibly gain weight?

This large portion of boiled fish looks very spicy, covered with bright red dried chilies and stir-fried chili oil. The marinated fish meat is firm enough that it won't break when you pick it up.

Jiang Nan immediately tasted the fresh, spicy, and numbing flavor of the fish after the first bite. The fish was tender, and the bones had been removed during slicing, so there was no fear of getting hurt by fish bones. Moreover, the side dishes were also delicious. The lettuce was crisp and refreshing, and it was soaked up the spiciness of the soup base. The bean sprouts also had a very good texture and tasted great with rice. It was a pity that the dining hall used so little of it in their dishes because of the spiritual energy.

When Ye Lan picked up a slice of fish and put it in her mouth, she could feel that the fish was different from the fish in the previous world. Although the ingredients were not as complete as before, the original freshness of the ingredients and the high quality of the meat made the taste better than before. Moreover, when she ate it, she could feel the spiritual energy that had been consumed being slowly replenished. It was a dual experience for both the taste buds and the spirit.

Jiang Ning, who was standing to the side, was also enjoying his meal. He had both fire and wood spiritual roots, and the chili peppers contained spiritual energy, which made his spiritual energy even more abundant. He loved spicy food, and this dish was very spicy and delicious. He felt very comfortable after eating it.

The boiled fish got spicier and spicier as they ate, but none of them could stop.

"Ye Lan, if you didn't cultivate in our sect, you would definitely become very rich and powerful if you opened a shop in the private sector."

When Jiang Nan was half full, he couldn't help but sigh. He had heard that there were many delicious folk foods, but his mother never let him eat those kinds of food that lacked spiritual energy. His family had strict discipline and did not allow him to indulge in food. So he longed for folk foods but had never tried them. He imagined they must be just as delicious as this.

"I have eaten local food a few times, but I have never found any that tastes as good as Ye Lan's."

Jiang Ning spoke up from the side, saying that he had traveled with his father when he was young. Although there was a lot of delicious food in the countryside, the ingredients were not as spiritual as those in the countryside. In addition, his father had already stopped eating grains at that time, so the food in the inns they randomly chose was not very good.

Ye Lan was curious when they talked about the common people. He had no memories of the common people in the original owner's memory. He was too young when he was picked up by the male protagonist's parents and had no memory of it. Moreover, the sect emphasized cultivation. They usually cultivated and rarely had disciples who could go down the mountain on their own. Last time, they were drawn together to go to the trial.

Jiang Ning paused for a moment and then continued, "This March and September, our inner disciples will go to help the common people plant and harvest crops. You can go to the market and see that there is a wide variety of food there."

The sect allows inner disciples to go down the mountain, while outer disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain because they are too young or their cultivation is not high enough, and the road down the mountain is dangerous. However, inner disciples have to help with these trivial matters during their annual cultivation.

Disciples who reach the Nascent Soul stage begin to slay demons and monsters for the common people, as well as resolve requests from other sects. This is the main source of income for the sects and also for the disciples.

Ye Lan asked happily, "Then isn't there still a month left?"

It's February now, and the spring planting season in March is almost here. Ye Lan is thinking that he can go to the market to collect some ingredients and seasonings, and he can also have a good taste of the delicacies of this world.

"Yeah, we can be in a group then." Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile when she saw how happy he was. He had saved her life, so it was only right that she take care of him. If he got too tired, she could help him finish his part.

Jiang Nan, who was silently eating on the side, felt superfluous, but thinking that he had eaten so much food for free, he should also take care of Ye Lan. After all, their cultivation levels were higher than Ye Lan's. He hurriedly said that he wanted to join in, and even ladled out a bowl of rice and mixed the soup into it. He felt that he could eat another big bowl of rice.

Jiang Nan ate too much this time and collapsed on the stool, unable to get up. Ye Lan and Jiang Ning washed the dishes together. While washing the dishes, Jiang Ning suggested that Ye Lan go with him to the back mountain to cultivate in the afternoon, as there were many plants there, which would be suitable for him to cultivate wood-type techniques.

"Won't this take up your cultivation time?"

Ye Lan said shyly.

"It's alright, I can train with you."

So the two of them made that decision.
