Chapter 65: Outsiders from Beyond the Heavens Will Bring Chaos to Yunzhou
Chen Miaomiao was a little surprised, “So Senior is acquainted with our Sect Master.”
She carefully sat on the moon paper boat, feeling that this paper boat was indeed magical.
It felt like cardboard to the touch, yet it was extremely sturdy.
At least it wouldn’t be a problem to withstand some cultivator’s attacks.
“Mm.”
Although the woman in purple claimed to be friends with the Sect Master, she clearly didn’t intend to chat much, so Chen Miaomiao wisely didn’t ask further.
Meanwhile, Su Huanli glanced back at Chen Miaomiao, finding something strange.
She always felt a very familiar medicinal scent emanating from this Junior Sister.
It was like the smell of the medicinal powder she used to make puppets.
Moreover, her realm was also vague. She could tell this Junior Sister was a Qi Condensation cultivator, seemingly on the verge of Mid Qi Condensation, but Su Huanli was a bit uncertain.
Perhaps she was close to a breakthrough?
Chen Miaomiao sat obediently in the back seat of the paper boat.
As the paper boat flew up, the wind quickly brushed past Chen Miaomiao’s cheeks. It felt a bit sharp at first, but soon calmed down.
The moon boat was very fast; at least, in Chen Miaomiao’s estimation, it was traveling at over 200 yards.
On the Yunzhou Continent, such speed was merely the basic commuting speed of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
This was the unscientific nature of the cultivation world.
Because she hitched a ride, in less than half a day, Chen Miaomiao returned to the Sect.
The moon boat landed directly at the foot of the Sect. Su Huanli looked at the changes in the Longevity Sect with some surprise.
In the more than a month since she last saw it, the exterior of the Longevity Sect’s buildings had changed drastically.
It’s just…
There was no main gate!
Su Huanli sighed, and after putting Chen Miaomiao down, she said, “Tell your Sect Master to make a Sect plaque. Also, tell her I’ll come find her later. Just say you’re Senior Sister Su.”
Chen Miaomiao immediately replied, “Understood, Senior.”
Senior Sister Su?
Chen Miaomiao said to the System, “System, can you notify the Sect Master that a Senior Sister Su is looking for her?”
During this time, they had discovered that as long as they called out to the System, it would generally respond.
System: “I have already informed her.”
Chen Miaomiao: “OK, then I won’t go.”
Her mind was currently filled with her Spirit Herb Business, and she wasn’t particularly keen on meeting the Sect Master.
After all, the Sect Master wasn’t someone who liked meeting people.
She had been in the game world for over a month and had only seen her a few times.
She was going to find A Wu.
Her partner in the Spirit Herb Business.
Song Jiulai had already received the message. As soon as she heard Su Huanli had returned, she immediately pulled her thoughts back from watching television.
And jumped up from her bed.
“Good, good, good, I need to make her a Foundation Establishment gift.”
The System was genuinely curious at this moment: “What kind of grand gift can you make for her?”
Song Jiulai: “Cooking, of course. What else would you think I’d do to celebrate? Can I give Spirit Stones as a gift? Absolutely not.”
System: “…”
Song Jiulai was a good cook. She used to live alone and had decent culinary skills.
After coming here, she ate food made by Players every day and didn’t cook for herself.
She had a separate small kitchen in the courtyard where she lived.
Song Jiulai rushed into the kitchen: “Senior Sister Su helped me a lot after I arrived. I don’t have much else, so I’ll make her a cake to celebrate.”
There was definitely no cake on the Yunzhou Continent.
This was all about the sentiment.
Maintaining good interpersonal relationships was also important. Song Jiulai had no intention of following the path of an aloof cultivator. With so many people in the Sect, she couldn’t hide it, and Su Huanli could help cover for her.
After all, she still wanted to swallow—no, acquire the Flying Sparrow Sect in the future!
People strive for progress, and water flows to lower ground. This Wang’an County, her Longevity Sect would take it!
Making a cake was quick. The kitchen below was stocked with many tools and ready-made ingredients.
While the kitchen staff were away, Song Jiulai sneakily took a few eggs and some fruit.
Of course, she also posted a Task for the Players below the mountain to buy her some fruit wine.
System: “…As a Sect Master, you really don’t need to do this.”
Song Jiulai said righteously: “No way! Don’t you know that as a Sect Master, I have to maintain my image? I’m a goddess! What kind of goddess would make a birthday cake? If they saw me doing it, wouldn’t they suspect I’m from Modern times too?”
System: “Your Information is also quite obvious. Perhaps people from Blue Star will quickly find out you had a similar identity on Blue Star?”
Song Jiulai tutted: “Let them investigate. I don’t even know if my ashes have been scattered. If they find out, can they resurrect me or something?”
Although she had indeed been resurrected in the cultivation world now.
In any case, on her end, she was the boss, and her word was law.
Song Jiulai entered the kitchen and, in the fastest way possible, made a simple cream fruit cake for Su Huanli, placing it on the small stone table in her private backyard.
This backyard was adjacent to a cliff, accessible only from the back door. It exuded an ethereal aura, and sitting there, looking at the mountains and water, had a unique artistic conception.
It’s just that the cake placed there had a peculiar style.
Then, she took some time to stir-fry two dishes.
Su Huanli indeed arrived soon after.
Entering the backyard, she smelled a special aroma of food.
Upon seeing the dishes on the small table, Su Huanli was a little surprised: “You made these?”
“Yes, yes.” Song Jiulai had just retrieved a pot of wine. She didn’t beat around the bush with Su Huanli: “In my hometown, we usually cook a meal to celebrate any happy occasion. This cake is for celebrating. Senior Sister, congratulations on your Foundation Establishment!”
Su Huanli couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Thank you.”
Having successfully established her foundation, when she returned to the Sect earlier, her fellow disciples had only offered simple congratulations.
She hadn’t expected Song Jiulai to specifically congratulate her.
For a moment, she felt a subtle emotion in her heart.
That feeling seemed to carry a hint of warmth.
She looked curiously at the table: “What is this cake?”
It was white, adorned with fruit, and looked quite astonishing.
Su Huanli had never seen anything like it.
“It’s a type of pastry, a dessert. We also eat this on birthdays. It’s delicious!”
These were all made with ingredients from the Yunzhou Continent, even better than the pure, natural, and pollution-free ones from Blue Star.
The two dishes she stir-fried were also ordinary home-style dishes: stir-fried pork with green peppers and sweet and sour shredded potatoes.
However, the Yunzhou Continent had a light palate and rarely ate such heavy flavors. Su Huanli picked up a chopstick, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Strange, she hadn’t eaten mortal food in a long time, yet she found this mortal food increasingly delicious.
Su Huanli took another sip of wine.
Her eyes immediately brightened further: “This wine is good. Did you brew it too?”
“No, this was brewed by one of my disciples.”
“Oh, your disciples…”
Speaking of disciples, Su Huanli always felt that the disciples of the Longevity Sect were too strange. Of course, she didn’t ask further and instead brought up the matter of the Immortal Worship Ceremony.
Perhaps Song Jiulai celebrating this matter made Su Huanli feel a closer connection. Her expression became more serious as she spoke of a major event.
“This year, the Myriad Immortal Sect is holding the Immortal Worship Ceremony. It might be related to the incident at the Tianyang Sect.”
“Originally, the Tianyang Sect was supposed to hold the Immortal Worship Ceremony, but a Mahayana Stage Ancestor of the Tianyang Sect perished, throwing the Tianyang Sect into chaos. It’s said that this Ancestor was already nearing the end of his lifespan and forcefully tried to Scrutinize Heavenly Secrets before his death, causing him to perish prematurely. What exactly he saw is unknown, but a piece of news from the Tianyang Sect is rapidly spreading across the Yunzhou Continent. I only found out after going to Cave Demon Valley. Do you know what it is?”
Su Huanli’s demeanor reminded Song Jiulai of the times she used to chat with colleagues about gossip.
She widened her eyes obligingly: “What is it, Senior Sister?”
Su Huanli said mysteriously: “It’s said that on the Yunzhou Continent, there will be an Outsider from Beyond the Heavens who will bring chaos to Yunzhou.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Wasn’t that statement a bit too much? It was quite hurtful.
