One by one, the herbs were thrown into the iron pot. Soon, the water boiled, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance. Cheng Ling took out the hind leg meat and threw it in directly.
Not long after, a burst of oil foam floated on the water, neutralizing the few herbs that were put in before. The fragrance was like a fairy mist that lingered for a long time.
Both brothers Mu Yan and Mu Qing stared at the iron pot in front of Cheng Ling, with a green light of longing in their eyes, which fully proved that human beings evolved from beasts. The joints in his throat were rolling, and even Mu Qing completely tore off her ladylike disguise and swallowed in big mouthfuls.
Cheng Ling obviously felt the hungry gaze, and said: "Well..., I'm sorry, I made it a little fragrant by mistake. If you don't mind, why don't you drink some first?"
"Ahem..." Mu Yan coughed twice, finally resisting the temptation of the fragrance, and sighed: "Brother Cheng Ling, this is really too fragrant, that... how about the rest? You cook the squirrel meat, let us enjoy it too!"
Cheng Ling smiled and agreed happily.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing hurriedly ran back to the room. Not long after, she took out another iron pot. It was several times bigger than the one she used, which fully exposed her foodie attributes.
Cheng Ling laughed, immediately put on his posture, took out some herbs from his arms, and threw them in together with the remaining squirrel meat. That's not all. It doesn't mean that all meats are suitable for cooking, such as squirrels. For greasy meat, this is also simple. He grabbed the dagger from Mu Qing's hand, cut the meat into strips, and then cut a few wooden skewers to insert them. The fairy version of bbq was born.
There was no seasoning, just some spices and salt. Even so, after the tea time, bursts of strong fragrance spread out more unbridled. The two brothers and sisters finally couldn't resist, and reached out to grab it and eat it at the same time.
The freshly grilled squirrel meat was a little dry, and with the addition of salt, although it made my mouth full of oil, I felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, the broth that had been cooked before took effect, and Cheng Ling served each of them a cup. After a bowl of hot broth, I drank it in one gulp, ah... the feeling was simply fatal!
Before the meat skewers were finished grilling, Mu Yan had already drank three bowls of broth. Mu Qing was not to be outdone. Five meat skewers and two bowls of broth were already consumed. The true qualities of a woman could be seen at a glance, and judging from their postures, they were still... There is a lot of fighting power, and these are just the appetizers.
For the first time, Cheng Ling felt that his weak body was a fatal flaw. It was not his turn to take action at all. The broth and meat skewers were about to run out. If he kept doing it, even the iron pot would be licked clean, so he just skipped washing it. At this moment, he quickly put down the wooden stick in his hand and joined the battle.
The three of them ate and drank like a storm, feeling very happy. In the end, only a pile of bones was left on the ground, proving that the squirrel once existed.
Mu Yan burped with satisfaction and said, "Brother Cheng Ling, I have never eaten such delicious squirrel meat. How did you do it?"
Mu Qing had a much better impression of him and said, "Brother, I think Cheng Ling can handle all the prey we hunt in the future. With such good skills, it would be a pity not to become a chef."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head. This meal seemed to be just simple squirrel meat, but he had put a lot of thought into it. Those herbs not only neutralized the cooking to make the taste more delicious, but also had a very good nourishing effect if eaten for a long time.
"Such a strong medicinal fragrance, Mu Yan, Mu Qing, what are you doing?" came an old voice, accompanied by a sigh.
The three of them followed the sound, only to find out
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I saw an old man with white beard and hair standing outside the door, his nose twitching slightly, obviously very intoxicated by the smell lingering in the air.
After hearing this, Mu Yan quickly stood up and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, why are you here?"
Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Cheng Ling and asked, "Who is this little friend...?"
Mu Qing interjected: "Shopkeeper Wu, his name is Cheng Ling. He comes from the north. He got lost in the woods, so he came home with us."
Shopkeeper Wu nodded and asked: "Little friend Cheng Ling, are you responsible for this strong medicinal fragrance? Can you tell me what the prescription is?"
As a neighbor who has lived in Xuecheng for a long time, shopkeeper Wu naturally knew that Mu Yan and Mu Qing brother and sister knew nothing about herbal medicine. The scent of this medicine was refreshing, and the whole person seemed to feel much more relaxed. It was obviously this strange Cheng Ling. Made it out.
Cheng Ling smiled calmly and said: "I made these all randomly, just to make the food taste better. There is no prescription."
Shopkeeper Wu instinctively didn't believe it. He pondered for a while and said, "Let's do this. If my friend is willing to sell this prescription, I am willing to pay one hundred immortal coins."
Cheng Ling was stunned. One hundred immortal coins, what is that?
Mu Qing took a breath and said in surprise: "This is enough for our expenses for half a year."
Cheng Ling suddenly understood. It seemed that fairy coins were the currency used for transactions. Among monks, fairy crystals were commonly used, but in the mortal world, they were called fairy coins. However, he did not know the purchase amount of one hundred fairy coins. how many.
After a moment of silence, he said: "I can give you the prescription, but I just arrived in Xuecheng and have no place to stay. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wu can provide a shop so that I can make a living by doing some simple things."
With his current injury, it was obviously impossible to recover in a short time. Living under the shelter of Mu Yan and Mu Qing was not a long-term solution. No matter what, he had to find a way to survive first.
"Deal!" Shopkeeper Wu readily agreed, looked around and said, "Well, there is a spare bungalow next to the two brothers and sisters, which is also the property of Huichun Hall. Although the place is not big, it is more elegant than before. , I will use that bungalow plus a hundred cent coins in exchange for your prescription."
Cheng Ling nodded in agreement and immediately told the recipe.
Although shopkeeper Wu was old, he had a good memory. He remembered it after hearing it only once. He left a hundred cents and said that he would hand over the title deed of the house next door tomorrow and then left.
That night, Cheng Ling could only spend one night at Mu Yan's house.
Mu Qing tidied up and went back to the house to rest alone. Mu Yan kindly gave up the bed and lay down on the table, falling asleep within a moment.
Cheng Ling lay on the bed and sighed softly. He couldn't sleep at all. This time, Yun Jingshan not only lost all her cultivation, but also her dantian and spiritual consciousness were imprisoned. She was like a mortal, without any ability to protect herself, and she was even weaker than ordinary people.
Since practicing Taoism, he has never been so embarrassed. Everything that Yun Jingshan and Piaomiao Xue Sect have given him must be repaid if he has the chance.
However, what he was most concerned about was the true identity of the skeleton. Based on his intuition, he seemed to have some bad associations, but he forced himself not to imagine it before confirming it.
So what if his guess was correct, given the current situation, any disciple could kill him, let alone the Immortal Emperor of Piaomiao Snow Sect.
He thought about the art of three lives, and tried his best to lose one life soul.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I was reborn, but I was afraid that I would still be in the same situation after rebirth. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't make up my mind.
The most important thing at the moment is to restore your cultivation. Based on intuition, as long as the space in your body can be unsealed, your cultivation should be able to return. But how to unblock the space in your body without finding any traces, you can only take one step at a time. .
Lying on the warm quilt, I was indeed very tired during this period, and it didn't take long before I fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, shopkeeper Wu kept his promise and delivered the house title deed early in the morning. Out of curiosity, the two siblings accompanied Cheng Ling to take a look.
The house is not big, similar to where Mu Yan and Mu Qing live, but there is a courtyard with a radius of more than ten meters behind the house, and the house faces the middle street, which is very suitable for being converted into a shop.
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction. Shopkeeper Wu was a kind man and would not mind teaching him more improved elixir recipes in the future.
Mu Qing looked around for a while and asked: "Cheng Ling, what are you going to do for a living? Why not just open a canteen. With your cooking skills, you will definitely be very popular. The prey that my brother and I will bring will also be popular." It can be used as raw material.”
Cheng Ling slowly shook his head. As an eighth-level elixir master, making medicinal meals is of course not a problem. But just like what happened to shopkeeper Wu before, even he could tell that it was not the cooking skills but the prescriptions. If someone with a heart saw the clues, he would force him to Refining the elixir yourself would be troublesome.
He thought about it seriously and said: "Actually, I can only cook some simple meals, and opening a canteen is not suitable. However, when I was studying abroad before, I was particularly good at painting. Let's treat this building as a studio!"
He had actually been prepared for this. Now he has no possessions. He cannot take out the storage ring and the things stored in the space inside his body. He cannot even summon the dragon feather sword. He only has a talisman pen all over his body.
This talisman pen was accidentally obtained in Jiuyou Immortal Mansion that year. It has never been able to be put into the storage ring or the body space. It can only be hung around the neck. Now it can be used as a paintbrush.
It just so happened that this house was originally used for storing sundries, and there were quite a lot of miscellaneous things in it. Cheng Ling scanned around for a while, and he actually found the pens, inks, paper and inkstones used for drawing, so he didn't have to buy any more.
Mu Yan and Mu Qing stayed in the house for a while and then left. They wanted to go hunting and sell the furs of their prey to maintain their daily livelihood. Before leaving, they asked Cheng Ling to have dinner together after they returned. , Cheng Ling also agreed.
I cleaned the house casually, spread out a piece of rice paper, took out a talisman pen and dipped it in ink, and then started to draw after thinking for a while.
On the earth before the soul traveled, in college, in order to be fashionable and please his female classmates, he actually studied ink painting for a period of time. He has been in this world for hundreds of years, and although he has never used a painting brush, he has refined a lot of talismans. To him, there may be something in common between the two.
As the tip of the pen moved, a simple landscape painting appeared. However, when he was painting rivers and streams, he faintly felt the cold air flowing in his body.
This made Cheng Ling ecstatic. Could it be that through painting, he could relieve his injuries? Fundamentally speaking, the blockage of the internal space is due to the massive loss of immortal energy due to the Zhanqing Dao and the collapse of the spatial world. Out of the need for self-protection, the internal space is closed on its own.
At this time, the flames and cold on the snow volcano once again inflicted heavy injuries on him. The fire poison and the cold poison were entangled in the body, which made him unable to use a trace of immortal energy. Every time he tried, the tendons and muscles in his body suffered a huge torment. pain.
