Everyone thought it was the day for the Thousand Layers to open again, so no one went to the Gravity Field or Battle Realm for cultivation early, but instead went to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast, waiting for the Sect Leader to open the Thousand Layers.
It opens once a week, and no one wants to miss it.
While laughing and chatting on the way to the kitchen, naturally, topics about the Thousand Layers came up.
Currently, the one who has gone the furthest is Yu Mo.
He has already reached the second half of the Thousand Layers, which is beyond the 600th step.
With this excitement, Yu Mo strode toward the kitchen, chatting happily with Qin Shan and Yun Liao, but when he glanced back and found Zhantian Qingxuan missing, he hurriedly said to Zhantian Ye beside him, "Little Ye, where’s your grandma? Today is the day the Thousand Layers open, if she misses it, she’ll have to wait another week."
He thought Zhantian Qingxuan had forgotten the opening time of the Thousand Layers,
after all, she only appeared once yesterday in these few days.
Zhantian Ye ended his conversation with Huai Ye and quickly replied, "Elder, my grandma has gone into seclusion."
"Seclusion at this time, couldn’t she wait a day?"
"Yes. Grandma said no one should disturb her."
Yu Mo nodded and continued to walk forward. Since Zhantian Qingxuan didn’t care even about the Thousand Layers and wanted to go into seclusion, there must be important cultivation involved, so he didn’t bother with it further.
As they walked, a strange fragrance suddenly wafted by.
"What smell is this?"
The two beside him, Yun Liao, were also taken aback, sniffing. The intoxicating aroma went straight into their nasal passages, starting to echo in their minds. This scent was pure, not like the perfume of heavily made-up women, it was very natural, with a special feeling when smelled.
It made his body seem to crave something.
This craving came entirely from the heart.
Qin Shan couldn’t help but comment, "This aroma is so special."
"It’s from the direction of the kitchen."
Being someone who roams around the kitchen every day, Huai Ye immediately recognized the source of the aroma.
Upon hearing this, joy flashed through everyone’s minds—could it be that the Sect Leader is making new Spiritual Cuisine again?
Everyone exclaimed with joy and quickly walked towards the kitchen. Sure enough, as they got closer, the aroma became even stronger, but it was still that very natural scent, with an inexplicable stirring of their bodies upon smelling it.
At this point, Yu Mo finally understood what this stirring was.
It’s like cultivating the Vein Technique at the Fierce Beast Trial Ground, wanting to advance from the Minor Success Realm to the Great Success Realm, there’s this craving from the body, without needing to imagine it oneself.
Upon entering the kitchen, everyone quickly greeted and then glanced towards the stove.
Sure enough, a large pot was half-open, emitting steaming white mist.
Then they heard Wen Ping call out, "Huai Ye, come over to serve the dishes."
Huai Ye responded and hurried over.
But the others also followed suit; originally, there were only seven or eight dishes, one person could carry them all, now it turned into everyone carrying one dish, with some having nothing to carry. However, as they carried the dishes upstairs, everyone realized the dishes were just ordinary dishes, though very fragrant and mouth-watering, they weren’t the aroma they had smelled.
After carrying the dishes up to the second floor, Wen Ping followed up with a bowl of rice.
When the wooden basin was placed on the table, everyone’s eyes fell upon it.
The crystal-clear grains of rice were lined up like crystal within the basin, looking like White Crystal, but more enticing than White Crystal.
"Eat, eat up, then we’ll open the Thousand Layers later."
Wen Ping served himself a bowl, then sat down.
The others quickly vied to serve themselves.
"Let me!" Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
"Senior Yang, let me do it, you can sit down and relax."
After some tussling, Huai Ye finally managed to serve everyone.
As the first to get his rice, Yun Liao—being the eldest Elder—upon eating a mouthful, his expression was one of utmost delight. Mouthful after mouthful, he couldn’t stop, just like a beggar who had suddenly gotten his first meal after starving for a long time. Evidently, the taste was exquisite to the extreme.
The sight made Luo Mi bash their lips in anticipation.
Afterward, when a warm flow surged within their bodies, Yun Liao was even more pleasantly surprised. Carefully experiencing it, the energy, after merging with the body, was nourishing his Purity Body like nursing milk, which surprised even him. Similarly, after having half a bowl, the others experienced this feeling too.
"This rice isn’t just unbelievably delicious, I’ve never eaten such good rice in my life, and it can even nourish the Spirit Body."
"Yeah, it’s so delicious."
"No way, I want to eat three bowls."
The numbers kept rising.
Just like an auction, everyone was increasing their rice intakes.
If outsiders saw this, they’d probably say Immortal Sect people are crazy, having a meal, is it necessary to compete?
Among everyone’s discussions, Yun Liao quickly asked, "Sect Leader, what kind of rice is this?"
Wen Ping replied calmly, "Just ordinary rice, oh, there’s a rule, everyone can only eat one bowl per meal, Elders included."
Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Yang Lele was stunned.
As the Senior Brother, right behind the Elder, he had just eaten to the bottom of his bowl, and was contemplating asking Huai Ye to serve him more rice, today he planned to eat until he was stuffed.
Then Wen Ping added, "By the way, Elder Yun, last time I took your Fire Spirit Crystal, today you can have two more bowls."
The three of them immediately rejoiced, initially annoyed by the sudden rule for eating too fast, now their gloom was wiped away.
They remembered Wen Sect Leader saying this at the Main Hall before.
Turns out the rice Wen Sect Leader mentioned back then was this, rice that could nourish the Spirit Body.
These two words instantly appeared in their minds.
Two bowls a meal, in a day, that’s six more bowls.
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded, Lu Ye appeared at the staircase, poked his head out, and said, smiling, "Wen Sect Leader... everyone is having a meal."
Lu Ye’s arrival wasn’t informed by the system because the Evil Spirit Knight wasn’t around.
When upgrading Tingyu Pavilion, Wen Ping had thought of such circumstances, someone coming up the mountain, unless they were already close, he wouldn’t be able to detect.
However, Wen Ping didn’t really mind such matters.
If not a member of Immortal Sect, they can’t enter the Cultivation Area, and it wouldn’t help to fund the Black Box.
Yun Liao stood up, "Senior Lu, why so early today?"
Lu Ye replied, "Well, today I came specially to bid farewell to Wen Sect Leader and everyone... I should return to Zimo Lake."
Then Lu Ye said to Wen Ping, "Wen Sect Leader, I entrust the old ancestor to you, later the Mountain Flower Association will come to the mountain for medicine."
Wen Ping nodded and said, "Go with peace, Senior Piaoling’s tomb poison has mostly been cleared, a few more days and he should recover."
Lu Ye combined his hands, slowly bowing.
To express his gratitude!
