Chapter 64: Practice Alchemy (1) (1/2)
Elder Jing glared at Yang Wei without responding to his pitiful look and ordered him to cook another beggar chicken.
Yang Wei wanted to reject but Lian Xinyue was also staring at him with a pleading expression.
”Is it really that delicious?” Yang Wei asked since he loved this dish, not because of the taste but the memories behind it.
Elder Jing and Lian Xinyue nodded their heads at the same time as it was the first time they had ever tasted such delicious chicken.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly on their unison in agreement as he took out another chicken from his spatial ring.
Afterward, he started prepping for the chicken and like Elder Jing's previous reaction, Lian Xinyue also yelled out in surprise when she saw Yang Wei placing dirt all around the lotus leaves.
Elder Jing smirked at her amateur reaction and said, ”Little Xianyue, don't be such a country pumpkin and act so immaturely. Yang Wei is simply doing the preparation for the beggar chicken dish.”
Elder Jing had a prideful expression when she lectured Lian Xinyue about the process of the beggar chicken.
Yang Wei was rendered speechless at Elder Jing for having such a thick face.
'Weren't you the same as Lian Xinyue but with an even more exaggerated and angry reaction previously?'
Yang Wei sighed inwardly but didn't dare to utter those words aloud because he's afraid of getting pinched in the waist again.
Once again, when the flame started burning around the dirt covering the chicken, the aroma started spreading out and Lian Xinyue managed to take this opportunity to sniff it in close quarters compared to before when she was outside the cave.
She was blessed to know Elder Jing more than the others because the rest of the disciples and Elder Pao Huang were full of frustration from the fragrance emitting inside.
”Damn it, they're just bullying me now by cooking such food.” Elder Pao Huang cursed aloud as he glanced at the inside with an envious look.
”E-Elder Pao Huang… should we also be like junior-sister Lian Xinyue and muster up our courage to enter inside.” A disciple said as his stomach grumbled loudly.
It was like a chain reaction since everyone else soon started to follow with their stomachs grumbling. Although they can fill their hunger with spiritual qi around the air, they prefer to have the feeling of eating the food physically.
Normally, cultivators would only resort to using spiritual qi in the air to fill their hunger when they're busy cultivating in close doors. Otherwise, there would be no point in being a cultivator if they can't even enjoy something as simple as eating some food that mortals do every day.
Elder Pao Huang also couldn't handle his stomach grumbling and decided to make a decision since he doesn't know when Elder Jing would permit them to enter the cave.
Thus, Elder Pao Haung coughed slightly to gather everyone's attention before speaking, ”We shall explore around this place and hunt for some magical beasts. Afterward, we would dissect their meat and eat them as the magical beasts are abundant with spiritual qi that will help us regain our true qi faster.”
