I long to return home!

“Delicious!!!” Su Yifeng picked up a piece of brightly colored stewed meat and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with his mouth full of oil. He looked like a tiger that had been starving for a long time and suddenly encountered a sumptuous meal.

Jin Lingjiao and Mo Yuchen simultaneously picked up a piece of stewed meat and eagerly put it in their mouths. The meat was stewed until it was fragrant, tender, and melted in their mouths, as if they had entered a fairyland. This made them both show happy expressions, like little dogs that had found a treasure, extremely excited.

"Yifeng, why did Xiao Xue make stewed meat for you?" Mo Yuchen picked up another piece of stewed meat and put it in his mouth, asking curiously.

"Oh, I promised him I'd teach him alchemy techniques if he made me risotto." Su Yifeng picked up a bamboo shoot, hesitated for a moment, and then put it in his mouth. The bamboo shoot, paired with the meat gravy, was incredibly flavorful, tender, and crisp—a truly refreshing experience.

"Huh?! He's a disciple of Yunfeng. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the sect leader for teaching him alchemy techniques?" Mo Yuchen stopped picking up meat with his chopsticks and looked at Su Yifeng in surprise, while Su Yifeng seemed completely unconcerned.

"It's alright, what can he do even if he finds out? Old Lin is still protecting him." Su Yifeng continued to stuff his mouth with stewed meat, praising how delicious it was. He looked like a greedy child who had just eaten a delicious candy and was extremely happy.

Mo Yuchen pondered for a moment and felt that Su Yifeng's words made sense. He also began to have the idea of ​​passing on the Qingfeng weapon-refining method to Xue Wu.

Gulu!

Among the many disciples standing nearby, one who was slightly overweight could no longer bear the hunger and suddenly collapsed to the ground, causing quite a bit of panic.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Hang in there!" Upon seeing this, a Yunfeng disciple knelt down on one knee, grasped the fat disciple's hand, and asked anxiously.

"I'm hungry..." the fat disciple managed to say before fainting from hunger.

"I always tell you to focus on your cultivation, and you're doing quite well with your fasting practice?" Su Yifeng glanced at them and said casually before continuing to eat the stewed meat. After a while, his heart softened, and he said slowly to Xue Wu, "Little Xue, go and get some more bamboo shoots to stew with the meat. The whole Xia Peak is harvested, it's fine. We can have them plant more later..."

"Ok."

Xue Wu then left the canteen, upholding the principle of equality for all. When he returned, he carried several large baskets of bamboo shoots, having pulled out almost all the tender bamboo shoots on Xiafeng Peak, as if he wanted to hollow out the entire mountain.

"Xiao Xue, add another pot for me, lots of meat and lots of bamboo shoots." Su Yifeng didn't feel bad at all when he saw several baskets of bamboo shoots. He could just have the disciples who wanted stewed meat plant them one by one. Then he looked at the many disciples who were already emaciated from hunger and shouted, "Stop looking, sit down. After you finish eating, go to Xia Peak and plant them for me one by one."

None of the disciples were unwilling. They wiped the drool from the corners of their mouths and pounced on their seats like hungry tigers. Even the fat disciple who had just fainted stood up as if he had come back to life and grabbed a seat. The entire canteen was packed.

Even so, many disciples still couldn't get a seat and were left outside like ants on a hot plate, unable to get in. The entire canteen had never been so lively before.

As noon approached, Xue Wucai finished preparing the bamboo shoot and pork stew for several people. He first wiped the sweat from his forehead and then placed the most fragrant and plentiful portion of stewed pork on Su Yifeng's table.

"Not bad, I was right about how much meat you had this time..." Su Yifeng stared at the bamboo shoot stew with meat that was almost overflowing, as if he were looking at a silver mountain, and praised.

"Of course," Xue Wu said with a smile, and then served a large bowl of bamboo shoot stew with meat to each table. He even served a small bowl of stew with meat to each of the disciples who were crowding outside the door.

"Why bother with fasting? This meat should only exist in heaven; how often can one taste it on earth?"

"I've never eaten such delicious stewed meat before!!! When did the sect's canteen get such a skilled chef?"

"This stew smells so good I almost cried!!!"

The aroma of stewed meat filled the room, spreading for miles. Every mountain peak and corner of the Luoyun Sect was enveloped in this rich fragrance, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Even disciples in seclusion could smell the enticing aroma, their stomachs trembling with hunger, and some even ended their seclusion early just to have a bite of the stewed meat...

Xu Tao was also attracted by the aroma of meat. He had been practicing his swordsmanship diligently at Lin Mubai's residence, hoping to achieve good results on the opening day of Hundred Weapons Valley, but the aroma of meat disturbed his mind and made him unable to practice his swordsmanship.

"It seems your junior brother can't stay idle and has started cooking again." Lin Mubai took a sip of tea, his tone indifferent, as if this were just a trivial matter.

"Then, Master, what do we do now?" Xu Tao rubbed his pregnant belly, his voice low and tinged with helplessness.

"What should we do? We definitely have to go and support your junior brother's cooking..." Lin Mubai gently put down his teacup, a slight smile appearing on his lips. The aroma of the meat also made him react, and he immediately led Xu Tao to the cafeteria.

Upon closer inspection, the place was already packed with people, resembling a bustling market, with hardly any room to stand. He glanced at the queue outside the gate, which stretched as far as the eye could see, resembling a long, winding dragon, which truly surprised him.

While eating meat, Su Yifeng glanced at Lin Mubai and Xu Tao who had just arrived. He slurped up his chopsticks, which were covered in meat juice, and stood up to call out, "Old Lin, Xiao Tao is here! I specially saved this for you."

Lin Mubai chuckled a few times and sat down with Xu Tao. Looking at the stewed meat in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although he had been in seclusion for a hundred years, he had been longing for the food Xue Wu had cooked since the last time. Now, seeing it again, he swallowed hard and said that he was not as cold and handsome as before. He picked up a piece of soft and tender meat soaked in meat juice with his chopsticks and swallowed it in one bite.

Su Yifeng couldn't help but laugh mockingly and called out, "Little Xue, Old Lin is here, we need another plate of meat."

"Okay." Xue Wu was delighted to hear that Lin Mubai had arrived. He felt no fatigue at all and instead took even better care of stewing the pot of meat.

"What smells so good? No wonder all the disciples ran away and are all gathered here."

Upon hearing the news, Ye Yingfeng and Liu Yusheng rushed over. They had no interest in the matter at first, but seeing that almost all the disciples from the two peaks had run away, they couldn't help but feel curious.

"I've never seen you all so enthusiastic about cultivation, but now you all seem to have grown four legs to rush over here for meals!" Liu Yu shouted angrily. Among the five peak disciples, only his Yin Peak disciples had almost all run away.

The Yin Peak and Yu Peak disciples were stunned and reluctantly stopped eating their meat, making way for him. Liu Yusheng walked in, his anger growing stronger. He watched as the Yin Peak disciples in the canteen ate with their mouths full of grease, unable to stop.

"Stop eating!" Liu Yusheng shouted angrily.

Immediately, all the students in the cafeteria stopped eating and stared in astonishment at the furious Liu Yusheng.

Lin Mubai, who was focused on eating meat, was startled by the sudden angry shout and almost spat out the meat he had stuffed in his mouth. He patted his chest and swallowed the meat. Then, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Liu Yusheng with some displeasure, and a chilling aura emanated from the air.

Liu Yusheng's gaze swept over them, and he looked at Lin Mubai and the others who were staring at him with surprise. He was momentarily startled and panicked. Seeing Su Yifeng sitting next to him with his mouth full of grease, he immediately said, "Su Yifeng, as an elder of Xia Peak, how dare you let your disciple eat and drink like this? Don't you know that the opening day of Hundred Weapons Valley is in a few days?"

Seeing that Liu Yusheng was blaming him, Su Yifeng was speechless for a moment, frowning as he thought to himself, "No? Is this my fault too? It's just eating meat."
