After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

The Green Mountain Sect covers a vast area, with one mountain peak after another connected together, covered with many spiritual plants, each mountain peak having its own purpose.

Within the sect, in addition to their designated training grounds, they also have large vegetable gardens where spiritual vegetables are grown. These gardens are enclosed by ordinary spirit stones, and the vegetables that absorb spiritual energy also contain spiritual energy.

There is also a waterfall in the back mountain. The water source of this waterfall is flowing down from the top of the mountain, and the water flow is not very large in spring.

A few disciples with water elemental roots were cultivating near the waterfall, while those with earth and wood elemental roots were cultivating in the forest.

Within the Green Mountain Sect, disciples with fire spirit roots are very few, and each has their own private cultivation room. This is why Jiang Ning wasn't very familiar with Ye Lan and the others before.

After the elders finished teaching him the cultivation techniques, Jiang Ning would usually go to the cultivation room to cultivate on his own. The climate in the Southern Continent was not very suitable for cultivating fire spirit roots, so he had to work extra hard.

Jiang Ning's maternal family was in the Eastern Continent, where there were many cultivators with fire elemental roots. The Southern Continent, where the Green Mountain Sect was located, had abundant rainfall, a pleasant climate, and lush vegetation, making it a haven for wood elemental root cultivators. Cultivators with dual elemental roots like him and his brother were extremely rare.

This time, they came to this back mountain together to teach Ye Lan how to cultivate. Today, he will first teach Ye Lan how to control her divine sense. There are many trees and plants here, which is more suitable for cultivation.

The two arrived at the woods behind the mountain, where Jiang Ning instructed Ye Lan to first learn how to control the vines. He told Ye Lan that she should first visualize the shape of the defensive net in her mind, and then use her spiritual power to transform it into the image in her mind.

“Look at the shape of this defensive net. It’s made up of many vines intertwined. When these vines cross each other and reach a certain density, they can serve a defensive purpose. You need to know their shape first, and then use your spiritual power to control them to form the shape you want. The most important thing is that you need to use your divine sense to feel and merge with these plants, treating them as part of your body, in order to truly control them.”

According to Jiang Ning, Ye Lan closed his eyes and slowly used his divine sense to sense the vines. He stood there, as if the world consisted only of him and the big tree covered with vines in front of him.

He could previously control the vines by referring to the original owner's memories, and could control their movement, but he could not control them to achieve the shape he wanted.

This time, Ye Lan calmed down and seemed to hear the voice of all things. He was like the thousand-year-old tree in front of him, and the vines on his body were his own branches. Ye Lan controlled them to slowly extend and intertwine to form a net.

Ye Lan opened her eyes and was delighted to see the defensive net formed by tree vines in front of her. She couldn't help but say, "This is the first time I've been able to form such a large defensive net!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh. Ye Lan was actually quite smart; at least she understood things very quickly.

“Divine sense and inner core are the most important things for us cultivators. The wider your sea of ​​consciousness and the stronger your divine sense, the more you can control,” Jiang Ning explained to Ye Lan.

"So that's how it is," Ye Lan nodded and noted it down.

"Try practicing a few more times. Right now, the vines you control are quite soft and docile. We'll increase the difficulty later." Cultivation requires a gradual approach. He couldn't let Ye Lan become too powerful overnight, lest her divine sense be negatively affected.

While Ye Lan was practicing, Jiang Ning also went to the side to cultivate, but what he wanted to control was the large tree that was being entangled by vines. This tree was quite old and difficult to control.

All things have a spirit, and the more abundant the spiritual energy of a plant, the more difficult it is to control. The most powerful wood spirit root cultivator in the Southern Continent can control all the plants in the forest for his own use.

My brother is still recovering from his injuries. He was ambushed during his advancement this time, and there's a possibility he might resort to underhanded tactics next time he advances. He also needs to improve his strength.

Jiang Ning's mind sank a little as she thought about this. Her brother was injured this time because of a mole. Although the mole has been found out, it is clear that someone is targeting them.

Before he knew it, an afternoon had passed, and Ye Lan felt that his spiritual energy was completely exhausted. However, he felt very energetic, and his Golden Core cultivation seemed to have been further consolidated. He was originally in the early stage of Golden Core, and his inner core was a pale color, but now he seemed to be able to feel that his inner core had a beautiful luster.

"Let's rest for a bit before going back. There's a waterfall here, I'd like to wash my face," Ye Lan suggested to Jiang Ning, who had also stopped cultivating.

The temperature wasn't hot, but the two were cultivating very seriously, so they still sweated a bit. Ye Lan even had the illusion that toxins were being expelled from his body, and he needed to cool off.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod, Ye Lan lifted her leg and walked towards the waterfall.

There weren't many people practicing meditation by the waterfall in the evening, as it was time for everyone to eat at the dining hall.

When Ye Lan arrived at the waterfall, he couldn't help but exclaim how beautiful it was upon seeing its entirety. Before he transmigrated, he had grown up in Sichuan, where the scenery was also very beautiful, but he rarely went out to travel. He had only visited tourist attractions a few times with his roommates after entering university.

Now, many novel plants grow beside the waterfall, which, combined with the sunset, makes it especially beautiful.

Ye Lan felt that this time travel was worthwhile just for experiencing these beautiful landscapes. If he had the chance to travel back in time, he would definitely go and see the world's magnificent mountains and rivers.

Ye Lan walked to a spot where the current wasn't so swift. The water was crystal clear, and she could clearly see the stones below. Ye Lan scooped up some water and washed her face. The water in February was very refreshing, washing away the day's fatigue.

Jiang Ning, who was standing nearby, also squatted down to wash her face. After washing, she seemed to feel a little happier and was not as upset as she had been when she thought about her brother's injury.

"Hey, look, there are snails over there!" Ye Lan exclaimed. He never expected to see wild snails here. They were clinging to the rocks, quite plump, and there were quite a few of them.

"Huh?" Jiang Ning asked, puzzled. There was no meat in the snail.

"Jiang Ning, I know what we're going to eat tonight!" Ye Lan was excited when she saw the natural ingredients.

Ye Lan took off her shoes and socks and went into the water to collect snails. The water was very clear and not too cold, making it quite comfortable.

He asked Jiang Ning to fetch two large leaves, while he went to pick out plump snails. Cultivators have excellent eyesight, and he could see the snails hidden in the crevices of rocks very clearly.

After Jiang Ning got the leaves, he followed Ye Lan to collect snails. Although he didn't know how to eat these meatless snails, Ye Lan's cooking skills were so good that if he said they were edible, then they must be right. Before long, the two of them had a full harvest.

After emerging from the water, Jiang Ning used some spiritual energy to dry their feet. They then put on their shoes and socks and walked back to the small kitchen together. Ye Lan was also surprised to learn that fire spirit root cultivators could have this effect even at the Golden Core stage; it was practically like a portable appliance.
