Junior sister, I really need to control you

"Although the Azure Bamboo is excellent, wood generates wind and thunder. How can it be easily understood? If it were that simple, there would be no cultivators practicing the wood element in the world; they would all be wind and thunder cultivators!"

The text appears to be a jumbled mess of characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or garbled message. It doesn't form coherent sentences or paragraphs. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

"At that time, do you think he will bury himself in thought, or find a fellow Daoist who is proficient in this field to discuss the Dao and resolve his doubts?"

Liang Qiwu suddenly realized: "That's why he would want to ask you, Ancestor, for guidance."

“Indeed, if he wants instruction, he should naturally come to my Huangzhu Temple. Such a difficult method cannot be explained in just a few days.” Langya chanted, “He is asking for instruction; naturally, he should come to my Huangzhu Temple. Such a difficult method cannot be explained in just a few days.”

“Since you’re staying for a while, you can’t just stay indoors all the time, can you? You’ll have to meet with some of my disciples at Huangzhu Temple eventually.”

"Having received my guidance, if any disciples of Huangzhu Temple come seeking instruction, how could he not offer them some guidance?"

"With this back and forth, won't the bond of kinship develop?"

“That makes sense, that makes sense!” Liang Qiwu nodded repeatedly.

"Moreover, he will not only encounter such a bottleneck once. Each time he comes, he will stay for a period of time, which will give him the opportunity to spend time with the disciples of my Huangzhu Temple."

"After all, under the entire lineage, which Taoist temple is more proficient in the Way of Wood than Huangzhu Temple? Although I do not cultivate Wood Thunder, there are many manuscripts and classics left by predecessors who cultivated Wood Thunder in the Scripture Pavilion."

"If he borrows the classics of our Huangzhu Temple elders, then he can be considered to have a half-teacher relationship with them."

"From what I've observed, Fellow Daoist Li is a man of great character in his words and actions. Given all these qualities, it's not impossible that he might even consider me, in his heart, as someone from Huangzhu Temple, rather than just a close friend."

"After all, this Fellow Daoist Li is only in his early twenties."

"If, over the next seventy or eighty years, he comes to Huangzhu Temple every two or three years for a few months, over time, hmph..."

"Our ancestor was wise!" Liang Qiwu finally understood.

Actually, he had another plan.

With Li Yinsheng's talent, it's only a matter of time before he surpasses him.

Regardless of what path Li Yinsheng had previously cultivated, once he chose his natal magic weapon, he would inevitably devote a considerable amount of energy to it.

He guided Li Yinsheng to focus his energy on the Way of Wood with a stalk of Azure Bamboo. In the future, when Li Yinsheng's cultivation and attainments in the Way of Wood surpassed his, he could then turn around and ask Li Yinsheng for advice.

Of course, he didn't need to tell his younger family members about this plan.

It's not exactly something to be proud of.

……

Li Yinsheng naturally had no idea that Lang Ai had stolen milk from Ye Diyu and was wearing a roasted jacket.

After returning to his room, he began to nurture the Azure Bamboo with his divine sense and magical power.

Although he did not practice a wood-elemental cultivation method, the Qingxuan True Scripture was upright and peaceful, and it did not hinder the nurturing of the Azure Bamboo.

The nurturing process doesn't need to last long; its main purpose is to elevate the spiritual essence within the object to its peak before the refining process begins, allowing it to transform into a magical artifact in its best form.

After a short period of gentle care, he calculated the progress and felt that two or three days of gentle care would be enough.

Anyway, as long as you refine the Azure Bamboo into a magic weapon before receiving the ninety years of cultivation time, you'll be fine.

At that time, he will be able to enter the cave with the Azure Bamboo magic treasure and nurture it for ninety years in one go!

Speaking of the nineties...

Li Yinsheng looked at a large black ball in the corner of the supplies.

The surface of this large black sphere is tightly bound by countless white threads, and inside are countless immobile alien insects.

He had managed to extract all the strange insects from under the Suyun bamboo. Although their cocoons had broken, none of them could escape the net's hold.

"Senior brother, were you looking for me?"

Mu Xiaoyu skipped and hopped in.

Not long after the giant, grotesque face in the sky disappeared, they received new orders to continue their normal patrols.

But not long after they left, a female disciple from Huangzhu Temple came to them, respectfully saying that a senior named Li had invited her to the summit.

Then she followed the older sister from Huangzhu Temple to the summit. That sister was a really kind person; she used a flying artifact that looked like a bamboo leaf to carry her up.

"Hmm," Li Yinsheng put the Azure Bamboo back into his Qiankun Bag and pointed to the black ball in the corner, "Junior Sister, look what that is?"

Mu Xiaoyu asked curiously, "What is that? My divine sense can't detect it clearly."

"You'll see it clearly if you come closer." Li Yinsheng handed a thunder talisman to Mu Xiaoyu. "Go."

"Why did you give me this, senior brother?" Mu Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out when you get there." Li Yinsheng suppressed the smile that should have been on his lips.

"Oh." Mu Xiaoyu, holding the Thunder Talisman, walked towards the shiny black ball with a puzzled look on her face.

This black sphere is so strange. When I probe it with my divine sense, it's all blurry and I can't sense anything.

It looks very smooth. Are these threads on the surface?

Huh? This black sphere looks like it's formed by many things being tied together?

What are these things? They're all tightly tangled together, you can't see them at all.

Mu Xiaoyu took a few more steps, getting within three feet of them, and then she noticed that the things tied together seemed to have legs?

She froze, trembling as she turned to look at Li Yinsheng: "Senior brother? These can't be..."

“Yes, they’re all bugs,” Li Yinsheng nodded.

"Wow--"

Mu Xiaoyu threw out the lightning talisman and turned to run away.

After a flash of dazzling lightning, Li Yinsheng looked at the pale gold characters in front of him.

[Current time of spell practice: September 21st, 83rd year]

He nodded in satisfaction.

The small insects are all dealt with; it's time to deal with the big ones.

Still somewhat shaken after running away, Mu Xiaoyu glared angrily at Li Yinsheng: "Senior brother, you again..."

She saw Li Yinsheng take out a large white worm, about the size of a palm, from his Qiankun bag and walk towards her.

Mu Xiaoyu turned and ran away again.

Li Yinsheng's voice came from behind: "Junior sister? Why are you running? Aren't you going to eat fried bugs?"

Mu Xiaoyu had already stormed out the door: "I won't eat it! Fried bugs are too scary!"

"It smells delicious," Li Yinsheng said.

"I won't eat it even if it smells good!" Mu Xiaoyu said decisively.

But her running legs were noticeably slower.

"It smells even better than the previous crane eggs, aren't you going to eat it?" Li Yinsheng said leisurely.

Mu Xiaoyu's legs suddenly stopped.

A few breaths later, she turned around, her face filled with a look of resignation, and walked step by step toward the bamboo house behind her.

At the edge of her vision, Li Yinsheng had already set up a wok in the center of the bamboo house, with a flame burning beneath it.

Chapter 78 The Diligent Little Fish (Forced)

At the summit of Bamboo Forest Peak, in Li Yinsheng's bamboo house.

As Li Yinsheng pointed, the perfectly fried insects slowly floated out of the bubbling oil and were sprinkled with a thin layer of fine salt.

The heat control was exquisite. The original snow-white and tender body of the large worm had been transformed into a very thin golden crust, but its size remained as plump and full as it was before it went into the pot.

A rich aroma wafted over, and Li Yinsheng nodded with great satisfaction.

Although he always thought his cooking skills were decent, this time he definitely exceeded expectations.

The heat control is absolutely perfect; a touch less and it wouldn't be fragrant enough, a touch more and it wouldn't be tender enough.

Mu Xiaoyu, standing to the side, twitched her nose, staring intently at the fried insects that Li Yinsheng had placed on a piece of oiled paper. Her eyes were wide open, and she kept drooling.

There was no trace of fear of the insects on his face, only a longing for food.

"Perfect!" Li Yinsheng clapped his hands. "Junior sister, have a taste!"

"Awoo!"

Upon receiving the order, Mu Xiaoyu immediately grabbed the fried insect and took a big bite!

Then a peaceful expression suddenly appeared on her small face.

She slowly placed the insect back on the oil paper, closed her eyes, and began to chew and swallow it slowly.

She chewed the insect for a long time, until Li Yinsheng began to wonder if he had overcooked it, before Mu Xiaoyu finally swallowed it.

“Senior brother,” she looked earnestly at Li Yinsheng, “I feel that my life is complete.”

"You're too easily satisfied in this life," Li Yinsheng complained.

"Is it really that exaggerated? You didn't react like this when you ate crane eggs and peaches before."

“That’s different!” Mu Xiaoyu said without hesitation.

Li Yinsheng shrugged, not understanding the foodie's mindset.

"Eat the rest too, they won't taste good when they get cold." Li Yinsheng pointed to the fried insects that were still about two or three bites away from being eaten.

"Senior brother, you should try some too!" Mu Xiaoyu urged. "You'll understand why I said that once you try it!"

A sword light appeared at Li Yinsheng's fingertips as he sliced ​​off a small piece of fried insect and put it into his mouth with some skepticism.

Is it really that exaggerated... Holy crap!

An indescribable rich aroma and mellow, delicious flavor melted in his mouth.

"My culinary skills are truly unparalleled!" Li Yinsheng exclaimed inwardly.

Of course, the ingredients themselves also deserve credit.
