When Qin Zhen opened her eyes again, it was already the morning of the third day.

Almost the moment she opened her eyes, Qin Zhen smelled a familiar stench.

Looking down, she saw a layer of gray-black mud floating on her body, which was a sign that impurities in the body were being discharged.

But this time, it was particularly obvious.

Qin Zhen quickly used the cleaning technique to clean herself up, and only then did she notice that she was hungry.

"Goo-"

The stomach, which was finally noticed, let out a long protest as if it had suffered a great deal of injustice.

"Uh, how about some food?"

If other people were practicing in seclusion, they would definitely prepare things like fasting pills.

But Qin Zhen is different. Cooking is a serious practice for her.

Qin Zhen thought about it and took out her pressure cooker.

But before they could even think of today's menu, Elder Mu had already sent a message: "Open flames are not allowed in the library."

"what?"

Qin Zhen looked out the window with some curiosity, and saw Elder Mu coming in at some point.

He even built a simple pavilion outside, and was sitting in it, brewing tea with a book in his hand.

"Elder Mu, why are you here?"

For fear of disturbing others, Qin Zhen lowered her voice and asked softly.

Elder Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, then waved at Qin Zhen, motioning her to go out.

Seeing this, Qin Zhen didn't say anything and simply carried her pressure cooker and climbed out of the window.

The moment she flipped out, Qin Zhen suddenly realized that the library was set up with a soundproof barrier.

The chirping of insects and birds, and the sound of breeze blowing through leaves can only be heard outside the library.

"hungry?"

"I'm so hungry." Qin Zhen was very honest.

"Don't you have all the food you made before?"

Qin Zhen chuckled when he heard this: "I just brought back a bunch of stuff from the Demon Abyss. Do you want to try it out?"

"Would you like to eat something first?" Mu Guiyi gave Qin Zhen a cup of tea and then asked.

Qin Zhen drank the tea in one gulp and waved her hand: "I'm afraid that if I'm not hungry enough, my desire won't be that strong."

Mu Guiyi looked at Qin Zhen's guzzling manner and felt a little sorry for his good tea.

This is his special tea. Not only the tea leaves are the best, but the water used in the tea is also the extremely rare Lingyuan Ice Spring water.

Not to mention that he also used various spiritual plants and medicines to smoke this tea, which not only did not affect the taste of the tea itself, but also enhanced its aroma and efficacy.

Even in the hands of our ancestors, this tea is considered good tea and will be savored slowly and carefully.

If it were outside, who wouldn’t drink it with trepidation, or even want to offer it as an offering?

But Qin Zhen had no idea about this, and even boldly handed her teacup towards Mu Guiyi.

Seeing that Mu Guiyi didn't move, she raised her chin and said, "Elder Mu, I want another drink."

Mu Guiyi glanced at Qin Zhen coldly.

"tasty?"

Qin Zhen nodded affirmatively.

"It tastes good. I don't know why, but Elder Mu's tea tastes better than anywhere else. So - can I have another cup?"

"...Drinking too much will not help you perform well."

"It's okay. I can't drink enough tea."

"..."

"Elder Mu, please stop standing there and give me another cup."

Seeing that Mu Guiyi did not move, Qin Zhen hurriedly urged him again.

It is amazing that the younger generation and the elders can have such a relationship.

But Mu Guiyi didn't seem to be angry. He just sighed helplessly and said, "Ah."

"?"

Mu Guiyi shook his head, then silently poured Qin Zhen another cup.

Qin Zhen was so thirsty that she tilted her head back and drank the whole thing in one gulp.

Mu Guiyi quickly shifted his gaze away and stopped paying attention to how Qin Zhen drank tea.

Seeing Qin Zhen handing the teacup to him again, Mu Guiyi quickly asked a nonsense question: "Where are the things you brought back from the Demon Abyss?"

Qin Zhen's attention was immediately diverted when she heard this.

She pointed to the library behind her and said, "Didn't you ask me to bring everything with me? I have brought everything with me. Just wait."

Qin Zhen said this and climbed back out of the window.

"…through the main entrance."

How disgraceful it is to always climb through the window?

Qin Zhen didn't hear what Mu Guiyi said at all. After climbing in, she climbed back out of the window carrying large and small bags of things.

"Elder Mu, you have a lot of knowledge, please help me look at these things."

Mu Guiyi looked at the hearty smile on Qin Zhen's face, then glanced at the large and small packages. There was even a bird's head sticking out of one of the packages, and the bird clucked twice in fear.

No matter how you look at her, she looks like a silly girl who came to the city from the country.

Tsk, my eyes hurt.

Elder Mu silently shifted his gaze and began to check the things Qin Zhen brought back.

"The demonic energy is weaker than I thought."

"Yes, thank you, Big Brother, thank you for the unethical Heavenly Dao, and thank you for the nine-nine-in-one thunder tribulation."

As Qin Zhen spoke, she clasped her hands together and looked up at the sky.

In the past, Heaven would express its dissatisfaction with thunder, but now it makes no sound at all.

This made Qin Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.

"Have you memorized the Record of Herbs that I gave you earlier?"

Does this include spot checks?

Qin Zhen quickly straightened her attitude and nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I've memorized it."

"Okay then, how should we treat this Qianjie grass to remove the toxicity and stimulate its medicinal properties?"

"Remove the roots, soak them in rice wine and black bean juice, stew them in water, and drain the water to remove the toxicity while retaining its medicinal properties."

"Well, where's the Thousand Hands Butterfly?"

"use……"

Although Qin Zhen had memorized all this information by heart, this was the first time she had seen the real thing, and her understanding of it immediately deepened.

By the time she had identified everything and gotten rid of the impurities and evil spirits, she already had a recipe in mind for what she wanted to eat.

For Qin Zhen, who can control both fire and water and is a sword cultivator, "preparing food" should be the easiest part.

"What are you going to do?"

"Have you ever heard of the Manchu-Han Banquet?"

"Hmm?" Mu Guiyi was a little confused.

"There are 108 dishes, 54 of which are southern dishes and 54 of which are northern dishes, including but not limited to various cooking methods such as steaming, stir-frying, roasting, stewing, grilling, and boiling. From tea and dim sum to various dishes, everything is available."

Mu Guiyi nodded slightly when he heard this: "It sounds very tempting, but do you want to do so much?"

You can't be that hungry, right?

"Anyone who is hungry can come and eat. After all, if you are not full, how can you have the energy to practice?"

Mu Guiyi looked at Qin Zhen suspiciously and said, "Tell the truth."

"cough."

Qin Zhen looked up at the sky, then at the ground, and twirled the corner of her clothes with her two slender fingers. Finally, she sighed and said:

"I've never seen or eaten so many ingredients before, and I've processed them all. If I don't eat them, I'll feel uncomfortable."
