Destiny is ashes

Chapter 910: Food is the Heaven
"Strange, what is the old man talking about with the eldest brother? Why is my heart beating?"

In the kitchen, Gu Yeqi stood in front of a steaming pot, feeling uneasy.

In front of her, an ordinary farm stove was burning with an unusual pure green flame. The pot looked ordinary, but it was actually solid and hard, made of star iron. It was actually a magical weapon.

With the 'rejuvenating fire' as the flame, it integrates vitality and boils the essence of heaven and earth. The soup in the pot rises with white mist and makes a soft gurgling sound, followed by an extremely tempting aroma.

Gu Yeqi did not pick up the bowl. Instead, he moved his mind and used the Hundred Refining Qi to extract a ball of round white soup from it. Fresh white and green onion segments and brown and white mushrooms were floating in it, with bits of oil rolling around. The aroma of onion and mushroom soup wafted into the air. The rich spiritual atmosphere made one feel warm all over, and even an experienced glutton would be salivating.

Gu Yeqi took a sip, and the mushroom entered his mouth. With a little force, the rich juice gushed out, and the smooth, crisp, sweet taste immediately filled the tip of his tongue and then spread to the entire mouth. A vitality overflowed, fell down the esophagus, and flowed to his whole body, warming and dispelling all fatigue and discomfort.

"Yes, Senior Brother will like it."

Gu Yeqi was very satisfied with the taste, and the strange feeling in his heart settled down, so he continued to cook the pot of 'Three Raw and Three Fresh Mushroom Soup'.

The Mingjing Sect is based on the mysterious and mysterious. In addition to martial arts and formations, most of the sect's warriors also practice other additional methods. For example, An Jing is the method of Tianji forging weapons. Although it is rarely used, once it is used, it will be a magical weapon like the Taibai Battle Armor.

What Gu Yeqi learned was the method of spiritual diet. This method was derived from the Dao of Alchemy, but it was unique. It had a shorter shelf life and higher material requirements in exchange for a higher effect. It was said that the creator of this method was one of the twelve disciples of the great immortal Huaixu, who said, "Governing the world is like cooking a small fish. The way of the world is all in my pot."

The twelve immortals all had great achievements in creating the universe, and each of them received a part of the true teachings from the great immortal. According to the legend in ancient Taoist books, after the world of Huaixu became peaceful and the great immortal retired from the world, the twelve immortals also left Huaixu and each evolved their own realm. It is said that one of them is as powerful as the Huaixu realm, and food is the most important thing for them.

The Immortal Venerable left, but the Taoist tradition was passed down. Spiritual food is nourishing and non-toxic. If used for cultivation, it is even better than elixirs. However, it is difficult to preserve and requires high-quality ingredients, especially some secret recipes that are different from those circulated among the people. In addition to the ingredients, they also require special martial arts assistance, and it is difficult for non-high-ranking sects to pass on.

But given An Jing's conditions, eating spiritual food on a daily basis was a matter of course. Gu Yeqi took the lead in taking charge of this matter. Her purple qi destiny brought together all kinds of blessings, and she was excellent in making elixirs and drawing talismans, and spiritual food was no exception.

On the side, An Qianshan seemed to be thinking about something.

He originally planned to make some daily side dishes, but after seeing Gu Yeqi's cooking skills, he gladly gave up the job and just told him the flavors that An Jing usually liked to eat. Gu Yeqi was also very happy because An Jing rarely stayed for dinner at Mingguang Peak, and she collected very little data, which was what she was missing.

An Qianshan also asked about An Jing's recent situation and found that Gu Yeqi knew it very well. An Jing didn't have to worry about anything except practicing and teaching martial arts.

Good at cooking, hardworking, decisive, and very responsible... An Qianshan couldn't help but sigh: "It's really reassuring to have you take care of Jing'er."

"Uncle, what are you talking about?"

Gu Yeqi said modestly, with the corners of his mouth curled up: "My senior brother is very capable, why does he need me to take care of him? I am just learning from him."

"That's not the case."

An Qianshan shook his head: "Jing'er seems decisive, but in fact he gets tripped up by all kinds of trivial matters. When he was a child, he would raise his bow and shoot arrows without hesitation when hunting vicious beasts that hurt people. That kind of decisiveness and killing intent is hard to compare to even veterans who have fought hundreds of battles."

"But even Jing'er would let go of a young animal when he saw it. His gentle eyes were like two different people from before. He even wanted to take it home to raise."

"This is by no means a bad thing. With Jing'er's talent, he has compassion for all things in his heart, which is a blessing for all living things. But is he the one who should take care of the cubs?"

An Qianshan said softly: "His martial arts, his strength... should be used for greater purposes!"

Gu Yeqi was silent. The girl couldn't help but recall Xuanming Manor and herself, the children of disaster.

——Aren’t they the cubs that An Jing brought back to raise?

It was also thanks to the fact that he did not give up his efforts, and the sons of disasters each had their own talents and abilities, so they did not become a burden to An Jing, and even became the cornerstone of the construction of Mingguang Peak. Now they are spreading the way of Yuhua and becoming the backbone of the infrastructure of Chenli. Otherwise, it would be too bad.

The girl nodded slightly: "I understand, I will continue to work hard." Seeing that Gu Yeqi could understand what he meant, An Qianshan also smiled and nodded with relief.

But at this moment, he found that Gu Yeqi's eyes suddenly became surprised and stunned.

The girl looked out the window, her eyes fixed on it, not even paying attention to the soup pot. The blue-white flames went slightly out of control, and thick white mist rose up.

Following the other person's gaze, An Qianshan looked out the window, and then saw a figure that he was relatively familiar with.

The white-haired girl in white brocade clothes stood quietly outside the window, looking at the kitchen.

To be precise, he was looking at Gu Yeqi.

"The white lady from Xishan who often comes here to trade?"

After all, An Qianshan was a scholar, and he had experience in business, so he knew the ways of the world. At this moment, he knew at a glance that Gu Yeqi and the white girl outside were most likely acquainted, and the reason...

"Miss Gu, if you have something to do, please go out first."

An Qianshan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Leave the kitchen matters to me. I don't think that kid would dare to say anything."

"…Excuse me, uncle."

Gu Yeqi exhaled, nodded slightly, and adjusted her firepower with Bailian Qi. She walked out of the house and looked at the girl in white.

"At first I thought it was an illusion. Qinghan, I never thought it was really you."

Gu Yeqi walked forward and directly held Bai Qinghan's hand, his tone still filled with surprise: "It's been a few years since we last met, are you okay?"

"Ye Qi, I..."

Bai Qinghan let Gu Yeqi hold her hand. She was a little absent-minded. At this moment, Gu Yeqi was completely different from before in both spirit and temperament. Although she herself had changed a lot, she still found it hard to believe at first, and felt a little guilty: "I'm fine."

"Luckily, you're fine too."

Back then in Xuanming Manor, the two of them actually had a pretty good relationship. As one of the few people of the same sex who could communicate with each other, Gu Yeqi taught Bai Qinghan a lot of common sense about life, and even had her braid her hair.

They were indeed friends, but in the end, Bai Qinghan chose to leave.

After a brief exchange, the two fell silent at the same time. Gu Yeqi noticed Bai Qinghan's expression, and seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled: "Big Brother is in the room, I'm making soup, and it's a coincidence that you're here, I'll go add two more dishes."

"……it is good."

Bai Qinghan looked towards the house. She paused, then said, "Thank you for your hard work in Mingjing Sect."

"It's not hard."

Gu Yeqi held Bai Qinghan's hand and prepared to take a step forward: "The battle of Nirvana is essentially to be a spectator. After that, the reconstruction of Chenli only needs to command Yankui. It is not as good as those who really fight."

"On the contrary, in Xishan, I heard that you, as a goddess, have also done a lot of things."
