Chapter 19 Phoenix
Chapter 19 Phoenix
Two teenagers and a little white animal ate more than forty grilled sausages in one night.
Yun Ci also grilled five plates of meat, including pork belly and beef.
After finishing his third scallion pancake, Chu Ziming rubbed his round belly.
"Burp~ I can't eat anymore, but I haven't had enough, burp~"
Chu Ziming let out two satisfied burps.
Yun Ci was also stuffed; this was the first time he had eaten barbecue in the two months since he transmigrated.
He'd been craving this for a long time.
And hot pot, I haven't had it in ages.
Yun Ci admired the sky filled with stars.
A few fluorescent lights occasionally flew by in the air, and the small courtyard was filled with the warmth of daily life in the spiritually rich sect.
Yun Ci suddenly smiled, her eyes narrowing.
Although I still miss modern life, things are pretty good for now.
Work hard to earn spirit stones, and after you leave the sect, you can see the beautiful scenery of the cultivation world.
Thinking about it, Yun Ci felt full of motivation.
After finishing their meal, no more firewood was added, and the fire under the two shelves gradually went out.
After resting for a while, Chu Ziming and Yun Ci packed up their things together.
Xiao Bai also put the bowl back where it was.
There were a few pancakes, some grilled sausages, some lettuce, and some pork belly left on the plate.
Yunci made the remaining food into hand-pulled pancakes.
Each scallion pancake is very generously filled.
When Chu Ziming left, he wanted to buy a few scallion pancakes to take back with him.
He wanted to buy all the warm books, but Yun Ci refused, because he and Xiao Bai still needed to eat breakfast tomorrow!
Chu Ziming had no choice but to buy two scallion pancakes and four grilled sausages.
This time, however, Chu Ziming left behind a large bag of spirit stones.
When Yun Ci saw the large bag of spirit stones and heard the clanging sound they made, her eyes widened slightly.
"Wow, you're really rich."
Yun Ci felt envious and jealous.
Chu Ziming curled his lip, "What's that? A personal disciple only gets one high-grade spirit stone a month, not even enough to buy a piece of black gold."
His senior brothers and sisters could earn tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones a month by doing a mission, and could easily earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones by selling a magic weapon they had crafted.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ci recalled that the original owner of this body had also been a direct disciple.
Although he only worked there for a year, he should have received some high-grade spirit stones, right? How come I haven't seen a single high-grade spirit stone?
Moreover, they are even poorer than some outer disciples.
Inner disciples receive 50 low-grade spirit stones per month, which is worlds apart from what personal disciples receive.
Aren't spirit stones appealing?
Why are you even paying attention to the main character?
Yun Ci looked like she was about to cry but had no tears left. That was a high-grade spirit stone that was worth more than a low-grade spirit stone!
Chu Ziming noticed Yun Ci's expression and asked in confusion, "Yun Ci, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Yun Ci clutched her aching heart. "It's alright. Just think of it as me crying for the spirit stones."
Chu Ziming suddenly remembered that Yun Ci had been expelled from the list by Immortal Venerable Jiqing.
Although Yun Ci's house has a yard, it's not even half the size of his cave dwelling. Yun Ci must be short of money.
Otherwise, other disciples with wood spirit roots would have valuable spiritual plants in their courtyards, while the junior disciples would only have vegetables.
Chu Ziming couldn't help but feel sorry for Yun Ci.
Suddenly, he made up his mind, and his expression was as if he had made a major decision.
Yun Ci was still thinking about the spirit stones and didn't notice Chu Ziming's expression.
"Alright, go back now, be careful on the road."
Anyway, there's no danger within the sect.
Chu Ziming nodded emphatically.
He left the whole bag of spirit stones behind, saying, "Hehe, Yun Ci, you can keep them. Just save one for me when you make food in the future."
Let's use these spirit stones to improve Yun Ci's life.
Yun Ci is so pitiful!
Before Yun Ci could say anything, Chu Ziming had already run away.
Yun Ci, “…”
After Chu Ziming left, Yun Ci went back inside.
He changed out of his disciple's robes and took out a white garment resembling a modern bathrobe from a worn but clean wooden wardrobe.
Then I took some soapberries and a towel and put them into a basin.
Xiao Bai saw Yun Ci open the door and called out.
Yun Ci patted Xiao Bai's head. "Xiao Bai, you and Xiao Hei stay home. I'm going to take a shower and I'll be back in a bit."
"Chewmi."
Xiao Bai stopped what he was about to do.
Boiling water for a bath at home is too troublesome, so I can only use a big pot, which makes the floor wet.
Yun Ci usually chooses to bathe in a natural spiritual pool not far away.
The water there was clear and warm, and rich in spiritual energy. Every time he advanced in his cultivation, he would soak in that spiritual pool water and soon after.
Yun Ci had even suspected that such a powerful spirit pool must belong to some elder or fairy immortal, but after a period of investigation, he found that no one came to such a remote place as the back mountain!
When Yun Ci isn't busy, she comes to soak in the water every day.
Upon arrival, they saw a large, steaming spirit pool surrounded by twinkling stars in the sky. The moonlight shone on the pool, making it even more enchanting and breathtakingly beautiful.
Yun Ci placed the basin not far from the spirit pool, took off her clothes, put them in the basin, and jumped in.
"La la la, I love taking a bath, it makes me so healthy..."
......
In the courtyard, Xiaobai jumped onto the wall and lay there, waiting for Yunci to return.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, it stood up.
Purple eyes were fixed on a large tree not far away.
"Chirp!" Who's there!
Little White kept baring its teeth, looking at the things in the tree.
The bird with fiery red feathers and, upon closer inspection, golden tail feathers, stood on the tree trunk, looking at the little white bird in the yard, its golden pupils revealing surprise.
Feeling the faint pressure of bloodline emanating from the bird, Xiaobai sensed a threat.
His eyes were full of wariness.
If Yun Ci were here, he would recognize that this bird is the one that often steals his food.
The birds in the tree suddenly flew towards the yard.
"Chewmi!"
When Xiaobai saw the bird flying towards it, a determined look flashed in its eyes, and it leaped into the air.
Seeing the little white bird leap up, the bird spun in the air with its fiery red body and easily dodged it.
It flew directly into the courtyard.
Xiao Bai saw that the bird was there because it was the scallion pancake on the table.
Yun Ci was so focused on taking a bath that she forgot to put the item back in her storage bag.
"Chu mi!" Don't move!
The bird snatched two scallion pancakes and flew high into the sky the instant Little White swooped down.
Its golden pupils looked down disdainfully at the little white beast in the yard.
"Chu mi." Damn it, her spiritual power hasn't recovered yet.
A moment later, the bird flew away.
Xiao Hei felt the suppression of that bloodline and was already hiding in a corner, trembling with fear.
Snapped!
Little White gave it a whole table full of food.
Useless stuff!
......
Qingyun Hall.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing was meditating, with a beautiful view of stars outside the window. Through this window, he could observe all living beings and their surroundings.
A fiery red bird flew in through the window and glanced at the person who looked like a banished immortal in a palace.
It landed to the side.
It picked up the thing from its paw and put it in its mouth.
"Golden Feather." A deep voice echoed in the hall, carrying a subtle warning.
"Okay, okay, I'll go eat somewhere else." The bird spoke in a human voice and flew straight out the window.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing opened his eyes, smelled the scent in the air, and his indifferent gaze seemed to be lost in thought.
Inside a magnificent palace, Jin Yu was eating a hand-pulled pancake with gusto.
It's delicious, so delicious!
In no time, the two scallion pancakes were gone.
It’s not enough to eat.
"What is it?" Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at the golden flame phoenix that flew back with indifferent eyes.
Indeed, the contracted divine beast of Immortal Venerable Jiqing is the Phoenix, the king of all birds, a unique existence in the world.
Jin Yu landed on the soft couch and said directly.
"I need a disciple to serve me."
"Who?" Ji Qing looked at Jin Yu, who was asking him for someone, and knew that Jin Yu already had someone he wanted.
Jin Yu glanced at the expression on Immortal Venerable Ji Qing's face and said, "Yun Ci."
Immortal Venerable Jiqing blurted out, "No."
Jin Yu knew this was how it would be, and his voice became irritable, "Your little disciple has already had his soul replaced, you'll know when you see him. If you don't help me, I'll become his contracted spirit beast."
"Whatever," Immortal Venerable Jiqing said indifferently.
Jin Yu: "...I'm so angry! I should have known better than to form a contract with you in the first place. You won't even give me a disciple. You're so stingy."
After saying that, it flew away.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing frowned.
If anyone were here, they would sigh that perhaps only the Immortal Venerable Jiqing would dare to refuse the divine beast Phoenix.
