This was Bai Hua sect's back mountain.
A spirit spring flowed down from the mountain, forming a small stream that flowed right next to the sect's kitchen.
This was the spring water that gushed out from the Natural Spirit Veins in the depths of the ground. It was icy cold, chilly, and filled with abundant energy of the heavens and the earth.
Only a sect of Bai Hua sect's caliber could monopolize such a high-grade spirit vein.
Gu Qing Shan was holding a pot, carefully washing it next to the stream.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[None of this kitchen's utensils contain the events of the Doomsday Chronicles]
[This is the final utensils that contain the cooking method of spirit cooking, would you like to comprehend the cooking skills on it?]
[To comprehend this cooking skill, Soul Points cost: 100]
Gu Qing Shan sighed and silently paid 100 Soul Points.
When he came to the kitchen just now, he found that many of the utensils here contained Qin Xiaolou's cooking skills.
— – Gu Qing Shan was a person who relied on cooking to survive, so his own cooking skills were top-notch as well. Since Qin Xiaolou was in seclusion, he had no choice but to cook for everyone.
Who would've thought that he'd be able to experience Qin Xiaolou's cooking skills here.
He was able to comprehend every single cooking skill on the table.
For him, this was a completely new perspective, allowing him to understand the art of cooking from the very beginning.
After this comprehension, Gu Qing Shan was able to compare his own cooking skills with Qin Xiaolou's, comparing, verifying, and improving each other. Before he knew it, his cooking skills had silently leapt over a threshold and reached a whole new level.
But Gu Qing Shan himself didn't notice any of this at all.
He only felt that his grasp of taste had improved.
— — after all, improving his cooking skills wouldn't trigger a Lightning Tribulation.
It was already getting late.
It was almost time for dinner.
Gu Qing Shan put the pot down, rolled up his sleeves, and began to seriously think.
"Alright, now that everything is cleaned, what dishes should I make tonight?"
"Shifu's taste is a bit heavy, Xiu Xiu can't eat anything too spicy, Qing Rou and Wan Er have both been through a lot, but they both came from top-notch forces in the past, so they're both very picky, one likes fresh fish, the other likes salty food — — - it's really hard to satisfy everyone"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't come up with an answer after thinking for a bit, so he decided to just give up and prepare a few dishes for everyone.
He started a fire by the stream, set up a metal plate, and began to cook grilled fish and grilled meat.
He lit up another stove and placed seven or eight steamers on it. He placed the crystal shrimp dumplings, crispy chicken feet, sweet glutinous rice cakes, steamed meat with rice flour, soup dumplings, crispy pork with lotus leaves, and steamed eggs with crab roe.
After the preparations were done, he took out another pot, drew in the spirit spring, and threw in all kinds of rare fungi. He didn't put in anything else, only a snow ginseng white chicken that had been cleaned up was thrown in. He covered the pot and began to stew it.
At this point, both the grilled meat and fish were almost done, the smell of meat filled the air and caught Gu Qing Shan's attention.
He took out a bunch of tender Spirit Water Sky Peppers and sprinkled them on the metal plate.
When the tender spirit pepper met the hot iron plate, there was only a sizzling sound, and the spiciness that aroused one's appetite was forced out by the high temperature.
After 12 breaths, this dish would be done.
The soup still needed a bit more time, and the steamed dishes weren't done yet. Gu Qing Shan silently waited, preparing to put the meat and fish on the plate.
He was thinking about what kind of dishes he should make next.
All of a sudden, he felt that something was wrong.
Grabbing with his hand, Gu Qing Shan took out the Six Paths Great Mountain sword from the void of space and shouted: "Who's there?"
The surroundings were quiet.
Only the sound of the pot and the stove could be heard.
There was no one else here.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes as his killing intent became thicker.
"I don't care who you are, if you don't show yourself, I won't be polite anymore" he spoke with a heavy tone.
Perhaps sensing his murderous intent, a voice finally rang out.
"Junior brother, please don't attack, it's me, I'm Qin Xiaolou!"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Indeed, this was the back mountain of Bai Hua sect, surrounded by countless formations.
Unless it was a Lord-class Combatant like Chen Wang, who else would be able to silently appear here?
But then — —
Wasn't second brother in seclusion?
He looked around in surprise, but couldn't see anything.
"Ah, junior brother, I'm here"
Qin Xiaolou's voice came again.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but release his inner sight to follow the voice.
In the stream, a tortoise was slowly climbing onto the shore.
While crawling, the turtle spoke: "Your grilled meat is almost done, prepare the dishes first"
Gu Qing Shan scooped up the dishes first.
However, his eyes never left the tortoise.
— — what is second brother doing?
The turtle was wearing a green chainmail armor, slowly crawling towards Gu Qing Shan's feet.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Second brother, when did you learn the secret of transforming living beings?"
The turtle opened its mouth: "What? You think I'm this green-haired turtle? No, no, no, I'm not a turtle "
"Then where are you?"
"Currently in seclusion" the turtle pridefully answered.
"Then what are you doing?"
"Take a look at this chainmail armor, I've attached a bit of my Thaumaturgy to it, allowing me to temporarily take over this dead turtle"
"You can take over a corpse? When did you learn that? "Gu Qing Shan was truly surprised.
The turtle shook its head, still prideful: "It's a Thaumaturgy I learned when I broke through to Rejuvenation realm — — - it's strange, but very useful"
"What are you doing in the back mountain?"
"Hah, seclusion is too boring, so I came out for a stroll" the turtle was troubled.
Gu Qing Shan advised it: "You should focus on seclusion, once your cultivation increases, it'll be safer for you to go out"
The turtle didn't mind: "During the world fusion last time, I spent a lot of effort, otherwise, how could I have broken through to Rejuvenation realm so quickly?"
"Then does Shifu know that you came out?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The turtle shrunk its head: "Don't tell Shifu, I just came out to get some fresh air, then smelled the fragrance of your food"
It praised: "I really have to say, third brother's cooking is getting better and better, I could already smell the fragrance of your food when I was still halfway up the mountain"
Gu Qing Shan understood.
So instead of going into seclusion and sneaking out for a stroll, he wants to come here to eat and drink?
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Senior brother, I remember there's food in the seclusion room"
"Those Fasting Pills are completely tasteless, they don't meet my requirements for food at all, I wouldn't eat them even if I starve to death"
The turtle shook its head, then said: "Junior brother, please take pity on your senior brother, seclusion is so tough, cook something for your senior brother"
"… What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat a large piece of braised meat! And also a bottle of chilled spirit liquor! "
Gu Qing Shan looked at the turtle's shell and couldn't help but ask: "Can you even carry it?"
"This stream leads to the place where I'm cultivating in seclusion. I can swim there and make two trips."
"Hah, alright"
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit of a headache, but he was still her senior brother, what else could he do?
He quickly washed the pot and cooked a plate of braised meat.
A few moments later, the turtle climbed into the stream with a plate of steaming hot braised meat on its back and steadily swam away.
As Gu Qing Shan watched the turtle leave, he suddenly noticed something.
He turned around.
Only to see the white goose standing on top of a tree, coldly staring at the turtle.
No one knew when she had arrived.
At first, Gu Qing Shan didn't notice, only after the other party unhesitatingly released her emotions did she slowly notice.
Which means, she heard everything we said just now?
Gu Qing Shan forced a smile: "Eldest brother"
The white goose nodded and slowly said: "Originally, I only came to take a look at tonight's dishes, who knew there would be such an unexpected harvest"
— — -the anger she was giving off was almost tangible.
She didn't even bother to hide her aura.
The birds in the forest were the most sensitive, so they flew away in flocks.
Very quickly, the fish in the stream also ran away in fear.
Halfway through its swim, the tortoise also sensed that something was wrong.
The turtle turned to look.
"Eldest brother!"
The turtle called out in shock.
It didn't care about the braised meat on its back anymore and hurriedly swam in a certain direction.
"Running?"
A cold voice resounded.
Suddenly, the white goose disappeared.
A white figure flew through the air.
Following that, the turtle was sent flying by a powerful force, spinning and landing at Gu Qing Shan's feet.
The white goose slowly walked out from the stream, shaking off the water on his body and casually said: "And here I thought you were really working hard on your cultivation, who knew you'd turn into a turtle and have a lot of fun"
The turtle showed a flattering smile, clasping both of its claws and bowing: "Eldest brother, please forgive me this time, please don't tell Shifu!"
"So you still know how to be afraid of Shifu?" the white goose coldly said.
"Of course, if you tell her, I'll be dead for sure" the turtle begged for mercy.
The turtle seemed to have remembered something and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"Junior brother Gu, hurry! Please help me plead with Eldest Senior Brother. Don't let him tell Master. "
"…" Gu Qing Shan.
