"Eat?"
Su Li was stunned, and asked with confusion, "After practitioners reach Zhuji Realm, we don't need to live with a full stomach. If it's delicious food, we can taste it. Why do we need to maintain three meals …"
Wen Hun chuckled, "You're right. Although this piece of meat is not as delicious as you think, its effect is very special. To a large extent, the disciples who stay in the Sect don't want to leave because of this piece of meat."
"I see. What's the effect of this piece of meat?"
Su Li asked immediately, but Wen Hun shook his head, "This is a big secret of the Sect. It won't work if I say it. After you eat this piece of meat and know its effect, don't tell others. Otherwise … something bad will happen."
Su Li wanted to ask what the bad thing was, but she was stopped by Wen Hun's eyes.
After a while, Wen Hun left the yard. He also had to maintain his own practice, and it was impossible to keep an eye on Su Li all the time.
Su Li stared at the basin-sized meat for a while, and then got up, covered the wooden box, and took it to the kitchen. Her yard was on the hillside of the main peak, next to Wen Hun's yard. Although the yard was small, it was well-equipped, and even an underground ice cellar was equipped.
Su Li didn't know the use of the ice cellar at first, but now she understood that it was specially used to store meat.
Su Li cut a long strip of fat and lean meat from the meat, and returned to the kitchen to boil water. Then she found all the seasonings sealed in the window meticulously.
Who knew how many years had passed since the last time he cooked properly.
With a subtle emotion lingering in her heart, she was more agile.
This scene was naturally seen in the water mirror in front of He Jiu.
"Su Yue was born in the secular world and had a miserable life experience. She was familiar with secular farm chores since she was a child. Such familiar actions couldn't be faked, and her age and identity matched.
The ghosts in the book pavilion didn't kill her, which meant that this woman was not poisoned. After all, those ghosts liked strange secret skills. If they really poisoned her, even Wen Hun couldn't stop those ghosts. "
He Jiu confirmed it again and again, and his expression eased. At this moment, he finally gave up the idea of continuing to probe, "We can't wait for the centennial salary ceremony. With Wen Hun's physique, he should guard the Sect for only one month … There should be no big mistake."
…
"Senior Brother, I've been in the sect for a month. Why haven't I seen any other Senior Brothers or Sisters? Master also said that I'm his twelfth disciple."
At the gate of the hall of the Sect, Su Li and Wen Hun sat on the cold steps and looked at the deep mountain covered by thick fog.
"I'm the eleventh."
Wen Hun sighed and replied.
He wanted to go back and cultivate. Why was it that when Master went out, he didn't give the task of guarding to Senior Sister Yue and the others, but gave it to him instead?
Guarding the sect was really boring.
After guarding the hall alone for a few days, he finally couldn't bear it and forced Su Li to guard with him. The feeling of loneliness was diluted a little.
As for what his Master had told him before he left, he had already forgotten about it during those few days of suffering.
If Ni Sect really wanted to send a spy, how could they send such a simple and young Junior Sister Apprentice? Based on Su Yue's character, she might have been cheated and still helped others to earn money. How could she be a spy?
"What about the other ten senior brothers and sisters?"
Su Li blinked, and her clear and pure black eyes were full of curiosity.
Every time Wen Hun met such a clean gaze, he didn't want to show his hypocrisy. He could only sigh again and shook his head, "I don't know, Little Junior Sister Apprentice. I have practiced for less than a hundred years. Since I became a disciple of Master, I haven't seen any other Senior Brother Apprentice except you."
She reached Yuanying Realm in less than a hundred years!
Su Li was slightly shocked, but she showed surprise and envy on the surface, "Senior Fellow Apprentice is amazing!"
After saying this, she was disappointed again, "Compared with Senior Fellow Apprentice's talent, I'm too ordinary. If a Senior Fellow Apprentice hadn't given me the great opportunity of the Sect, I couldn't have reached Jindan Realm at all."
Wen Hun saw that his inadvertent words hit the Little Junior Sister Apprentice, and felt ashamed. He said repeatedly, "Junior Sister Apprentice, don't worry about it. I can practice so fast because of the means given by Master. Before I joined the Sect, I was just a little beggar who was seriously ill and dying."
As he said, he touched his cold skin, "Master said that my life had come to an end. This method can change my fate, and I … did survive."
Su Li wanted to ask what the method was. But when she saw Wen Hun was in a trance, she thought for a while and didn't do anything.
If she kept asking questions, Wen Hun would notice the problem even if he was stupid.
In the twinkling of an eye, Wen Hun didn't need to guard the hall at night. He returned to the residence with Su Li. He cheekily ate a meal in Su Li's courtyard, and then went back.
The cold moonlight shone like a layer of silver light on the stone road.
Wen Hun looked back at the small yard standing in the forest, and sighed habitually.
"If Master imparted the holy method to the Little Junior Sister Apprentice and went to the book pavilion to practice in isolation for several years, what should I do with my mouth?"
Two days ago, he smelled the fragrance from Su Li's courtyard, and couldn't help but go to have a look. After seeing that the meat became delicious food in the hands of the Little Junior Sister Apprentice, he tasted it. Immediately, he fell in love with Su Li completely, and gave his share of meat to Su Li, just to have a meal every day.
After thinking for a while, Wen Hun couldn't think of a good way, so he sighed again and turned away.
After Su Li saw Wen Hun off, she closed the gate of the courtyard and returned to the adytum for practice in the house. After hanging up the sign of "Do Not Disturb Practice", everything around was quiet. Only the candlelight in the adytum flickered from time to time, and Su Li's shadow was printed on the wall, like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"These meats can improve my soul slightly."
Su Li pretended to practice, but thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind. She was a little dignified.
"My soul has reached the Perfect Nature Soul. If I can accumulate a little more, I may be able to break through to the next realm forcibly, and reach the Half Immortal Soul, which is comparable to the Dacheng practitioner.
Even I can benefit from it, let alone those ordinary disciples. No wonder they are unwilling to leave.
After the improvement of my soul, my mind is agile. As for me, I can easily release tens of millions of thoughts in an instant when I reach the Perfect Nature Soul. No matter what I learn, I can learn quickly. Those ordinary disciples may not be able to absorb the power in the meat as perfectly as I can, but … as long as their souls are improved a little, they can comprehend the mental method several times faster. "
After figuring it out, Su Li opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really fascinating. But cultivation pays attention to the balance of Yin and Yang, and the soul is the yin soul. If the yin soul is too strong, it will lead to the lack of Yang energy and damage to the physical body. If it is not balanced to the extreme and explodes, it can even suck up all the nutrients in the physical body in an instant, and the physical body will die instantly. No wonder … "
Su Li's eyes brightened slightly. In an instant, she felt that the clouds and mist were dispelled, and she was suddenly enlightened.
No wonder the Immortal Cultivation Sect was short of vitality. Everyone's yin soul was too strong, which led to the lack of vitality. However, ordinary disciples couldn't feel this. They were only addicted to the pleasure of improving their souls and couldn't extricate themselves. So, He Jiu drove them away from the Sect.
"In this way, the puzzle is solved. Only the dangerous places mentioned by Wen Hun are left."
While muttering to herself, Su Li glanced at the candlestick, and the candlelight went out instantly.
Although she learned from Wen Hun that He Jiu had left the Sect, she was not sure whether He Jiu was testing her or not. So, she simply observed for a few more days.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice, I'm so bored. What did the Master do? Why does he ask you to guard the Sect?"
Su Li sat beside the steps, put her hands on her knees, and sighed.
Helplessness flashed on Wen Hun's pale face, and he also sighed heavily, "I don't know. The Master said that he would come back in one month. Just one month … Only seven days have passed."
Wen Hun's resentment was more obvious. If he was practicing, he wouldn't feel bored. But he could only stand in front of the hall every day, which was really … boring.
"Why does the hall of the Sect need someone to guard it?"
Su Li looked back at the closed door, "When the Master was there, we also went in, but there was nothing in it."
"Maybe there is something we can't see."
It seemed that Su Li reminded him of something. Wen Hun looked thoughtful. After a while, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at Su Li, who was absent-minded beside him. His lips moved, but he finally held back and didn't say much.
If he said too much and scared the junior sister apprentice away, no one would accompany him.
Su Li saw that he was in a dilemma. She laughed in her heart and didn't insist.
The daily intake of the soul power of that piece of meat was limited. Including the piece that Wen Hun gave her, it was just enough for her to eat for a month. He Jiu left for a month, and she still had enough time. It was better to wait until her soul power accumulated to the limit, and then find out the truth.
Su Li originally thought so.
But on the tenth day, when she and Wen Hun came to the hall of the Sect, she suddenly felt something wrong.
It was so quiet.
There was no sound around, and even the sound of the wind disappeared.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice, the sky seems to be darkening."
Su Li looked up, and there was panic and fear in her eyes. She couldn't help but grasp Wen Hun's clothes tightly.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
It seemed that it was not the first time for Wen Hun to see this kind of scene. His expression was very calm, but his body was tight. He kept glancing around, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, he fixed his eyes and looked at a void.
Su Li looked along the void, but saw nothing.
With a thought, she transferred part of her power to the evil ghost. The eyes of the evil ghost in the shadow opened a little bit, and a huge and slender black snake immediately came into view. It was about a thousand feet long, and it kept hovering in the sky. Black mist kept spurting out from the gaps of its scales, turning into strange dark clouds.
"Hiss!"
The huge snake head emerged from the hovering snake body. It flicked its blood-red tongue, and two red lines as thin as earthworms slowly shot to the two people on the ground.
"This is the bloody red in the deep mountain. Why does it come out?!"
Wen Hun was shocked, and his pupils contracted sharply. He grabbed Su Li and fled to the hall without saying a word.
