Chapter 88 Harmful Years of Disaster
Chapter 88 Harmful Years of Disaster
Seeing Chu Wenqing lost in thought, the sect leader raised an eyebrow. "Wenqing, what's wrong?"
Chu Wenqing snapped out of her daze, quickly shook her head to indicate that it was nothing, and then changed the subject, "Master, my senior sister and I bought a lot of delicious food, please try some."
After saying that, he went into the cave first, found a clean, large rock, and took out a huge pile of food.
"Master, junior brother, come and have a taste!"
When Sect Leader Wen turned around and saw so much food, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "So much? Where did you get these spirit stones?"
Song Qiao, who was looking down at her zither, was also lured up by the aroma of the food and couldn't help but swallow.
Although cultivators are supposed to be mindful of their appetites, he had no idea how long it had been since he had eaten so much delicious food...
Chu Wenqing didn't mind the dirt on the ground and sat down cross-legged against the stone. "Hehe... We've encountered a fortuitous opportunity, so we don't have to worry about spirit stones anymore."
"Opportunity?"
Upon hearing this question from Sect Leader Wen, Feng Xiyue's face lit up with excitement. She strode into the cave and sat down next to Chu Wenqing.
"Yes, Master, please sit down first. We have some good news to tell you!"
Seeing Feng Xiyue take out braised beef, Chu Wenqing's eyes lit up even more, and he reached out to grab some, "Senior sister, you still have braised beef here!"
Feng Xiyue hurriedly took away the braised beef, picking at it with a critical eye, "There's none for you, this is for my master and the others to try!"
"No, senior sister..." Chu Wenqing said coquettishly.
Feng Xiyue remained unmoved. "Who told you to eat all the braised beef in just three days? Just you wait and see!"
"Waaah... No, senior sister..."
Master Wen glanced suspiciously at his two disciples' back-and-forth banter, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of food and came over.
However, instead of sitting on the ground without regard for his image, he took out a cushion from his storage bag and sat on it.
Immediately, Sect Leader Wen raised his hand and beckoned Song Qiao, "Come and eat with us."
Song Qiao hesitated for a moment before obediently coming over and taking out a straw mat to sit on.
Feng Xiyue's smile froze instantly.
Compared to her master and the others, she seemed just as casual as Chu Wenqing... She used to be the cleanest person ever!
Chu Wenqing didn't care about any of that.
He opened a jar, scooped out some beef sauce with a spoon, spread it on the flatbread, folded the flatbread in half, and while Feng Xiyue was looking down to find a cushion, he stuffed some braised beef into it and rolled it into a flatbread.
Feng Xiyue then realized what was happening and glared at him coldly.
Faced with his senior sister's death stare, Chu Wenqing quickly and obsequiously handed the pancake to Headmaster Wen, "Master, your disciple has rolled it up for you, please try it!"
Master Wen knew exactly what this kid was up to, and waved his hand dismissively, "You eat, I'll prepare it myself."
"Thank you Master!"
The next moment, Chu Wenqing took a bite of the pancake and was immediately captivated by its spicy and delicious flavor.
"Mmm...it's so delicious!"
Since her master had spoken, Feng Xiyue couldn't argue with him. However, she refused to be outdone and ate the pancakes as well, even taking extra of Chu Wenqing's jar of beef sauce, which made him feel very sorry for her.
"Senior sister, you've made too much!"
"Didn't you eat my beef too?"
Feeling guilty, Chu Wenqing turned to the two and urged, "Master, you should try it like this, it's really delicious!"
Master Wen and Song Qiao were eating other dishes when they saw how much they enjoyed them, so they followed suit. The moment the pancake entered their mouths, their eyes lit up.
The pancake was incredibly delicious, fragrant, spicy, and chewy! They had never tasted such a tasty pancake before!
Song Qiao exclaimed in delight, "It's really good..."
"How can it be so delicious?" Sect Leader Wen asked in bewilderment. "I've had this sesame seed cake before. Could it be because of the sauce inside?"
Chu Wenqing ate without looking up, but didn't forget to explain, "Yes! That's right! Master, it's beef sauce inside, it's fragrant and spicy! It's delicious not only on flatbreads and steamed buns, but also in noodles and porridge!"
Song Qiao wondered, "This beef seems different from what we've had before; it even has a spicy taste..."
"Of course, when braising the beef, we use a lot of spices, including a kind of dried chili called 'point pepper' to enhance the flavor..."
Chu Wenqing spoke eloquently, almost explaining in detail the process of Su Luo making the beef.
As he spoke, the other three quickly devoured the meager amount of beef, leaving Chu Wenqing dumbfounded when he went to roll up the pancakes and found the plate empty.
"The beef is all gone? I only ate two pieces..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao subtly quickened their pace of stuffing biscuits into their mouths, as if afraid that Chu Wenqing would come over and snatch them away.
Chu Wenqing: ...
"Ahem..." Sect Leader Wen wiped his mouth and began to change the subject, "By the way, what exactly was this opportunity you were talking about?"
Chu Wenqing's attention was immediately drawn. He straightened his back, his eyes filled with excitement. "Master, we have found two spirit stone veins and plan to give them to you."
"what?!"
With Master Wen's exclamation, Song Qiao was so startled that he didn't even notice when he dropped his chopsticks.
"Wenqing, are you really not lying to me?" Sect Leader Wen frowned, staring intently at Chu Wenqing. "You can't lie about this!"
That's a spirit stone mine that can produce countless spirit stones!
“I swear, this is true.”
Startled, Sect Leader Wen grabbed Chu Wenqing's shirt and demanded, "Where...where is that mine?"
"Cough cough... Master, you used too much force..."
Chu Wenqing was almost strangled by his own master, so he quickly signaled to Feng Xiyue with his eyes. Feng Xiyue also took out a blueprint.
"Master, the blueprints are here, please take a look!"
Fortunately, she had copied down the two mineral veins from the parchment scroll some time ago.
Master Wen suddenly let go, took the blueprint, and began to look at it. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and the wider his smile grew.
"That's right, this is the direction of Poison Valley, not far from the Lingxiao Sect! If the location indicated by this map really has a spirit stone vein, then our Lingxiao Sect is saved! Hahaha!"
Song Qiao cautiously leaned closer, staring at him expectantly.
Chu Wenqing patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "Master is too excited, I was almost strangled to death..."
Feng Xiyue rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry, evil deeds last a thousand years."
"Senior sister, you have such a sharp tongue!"
"Ok?"
"...I didn't say anything."
Sect Leader Wen stared at it for a while before reluctantly looking up and asking, "How did you obtain this mine map? What exactly happened to you during your training?"
Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue quickly stopped bickering. They looked at each other, and remembering Su Luo's instructions, Feng Xiyue then briefly recounted what had happened during this period.
Of course, they wouldn't tell Su Luo many secrets, only saying that it was a matter with a friend.
"That's how it is. After my junior brother and I met up in Biyue Town, we went to the human realm by some chance, to the South Sea of the human realm..."
While Feng Xiyue was busy explaining, Su Luo was preparing to leave the island.
Because she was going to pick up Qinghe and her family. On the way back, she would also try to find the original owner's relatives and ask if they would like to come along.
