Watching the sudden appearance of the image in his mind, who saved him, Ge Wenxiong couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
Yu Qingtan looked at the stupefied Ge Wenxiong, sowhat puzzled. She had only used the peak of Qi Cultivation abilities, at most exaggerating the power of her spell. It wasn't that stunning, was it?
Approaching Ge Wenxiong, Yu Qingtan cast a Rejuvenation Spell, then said, "Young Master Ge, it's been a long ti!"
It was then that Ge Wenxiong snapped out of it, looking at the even more beautiful face in front of him than he rembered, and he gave a deep bow, saying, "It has indeed been a long ti. Thank you, Miss Qing Tan, for saving my life!"
"It was just a small effort!" Yu Qingtan said nonchalantly, waving her hand.
"Wait for
a minute!" Then she vanished in a puff of smoke.
However, Yu Qingtan soon returned, this ti her actual body appeared.
She had just scoped out the surroundings, there shouldn't be any danger.
Ge Wenxiong had already applied dicine to his wound and bandaged it up simply.
Yu Qingtan's Rejuvenation Spell also helped his wound heal faster.
Yu Qingtan set up a high-level Formation given by Elder Gao, then took out a pile of charcoal, a silver hotpot, and a bunch of ingredients and seasonings.
Then she lit the charcoal with a Fireball Talisman, set up the silver hotpot, and began to boil the broth.
After treating his injury, Ge Wenxiong ca over and curiously asked while watching Yu Qingtan busy at work, "Miss Qing Tan, are you preparing food?"
"Of course, Young Master Ge, you're in for a treat today. I'm inviting you to have frog at hotpot," she said.
Yu Qingtan had always enjoyed fine cuisine, but unfortunately, she had been so busy these past few months that she could only make simple spirit food to fill her stomach.
After reaching Foundation Establishnt Stage, she would be able to practice Fasting.
Then again, she was captured to the Yunhua Mountain Range, going through hardships.
Only in these recent days had she found ti to occasionally make sothing delicious as a treat.
Although she practiced Fasting, eating so spirit food was still beneficial.
She once saw, in the Foundation Establishnt records of Tianxiang Pavilion, a travelogue by an ancestor that also listed many delicious ingredients.
The Water Arrow Frog was one of them.
"Hotpot?" Ge Wenxiong asked curiously; he had never heard of it.
"You'll know in a bit. Your injury should be fine now, right?"
"It's no longer a concern."
"Then help
process these Water Arrow Frogs, remove their insides, heads, peel them, and cut them into pieces," said Yu Qingtan.
Although she could do it herself, why not take advantage of free labor if it was available?
With a smile that was a bit of a wry laugh, Ge Wenxiong took the cutting board, kitchen knife, and Water Arrow Frogs that Yu Qingtan handed to him.
Luckily, even though he was the young master of the Ges and had never cooked, as a Body Cultivation Cultivator, dealing with so Water Arrow Frogs was a breeze.
Soon, the two sat on the small stools brought by Yu Qingtan and began eating the frog at hotpot.
"Wow, it really is delicious!" Yu Qingtan took a bite of frog at and said with her eyes closed, savoring the taste.
"Indeed a delicacy of the mortal world," said Ge Wenxiong after taking a bite, praising it as the tastiest food he had ever eaten.
"Just a pity there's no chili pepper. The mushroom broth hotpot is delicious, but it's missing so soul."
"Chili pepper, what's that?"
"A type of seasoning, gives a spicy taste. You surely haven't seen it."
"Oh, why has Miss Qing Tan also co to the Yunhua Mountain Range?"
"Hmm, don't ntion it. It irritates
just thinking about it. So forget it. Let's eat frogs!"
Yu Qingtan didn't care to explain, instead, she popped a piece of frog at into his bowl and stuffed another into her own mouth.
Satisfaction.
After eating for nearly an hour, they finished off more than thirty Water Arrow Frogs.
Both were Body Cultivators with huge appetites.
"Young Master Ge, was it good?"
"Delicious!"
Ge Wenxiong felt that the young girl in front of him was sowhat mysterious and even more lively and attractive than when he had seen her previously at Tianxiang Pavilion.
"If you enjoy it, that's good. I am preparing to return to Suichuan Immortal City; do you have a more detailed map of the nearby area?"
"I do." Ge Wenxiong took out a jade slip and handed it to Yu Qingtan.
"Thank you, Young Master Ge. What are your plans next?"
Yu Qingtan took the jade slip and asked.
"I plan to continue my training in the Yunhua Mountain Range!" Ge Wenxiong said with a determined look in his eyes.
Just as Yu Qingtan was about to take his leave, the ground suddenly shook violently.
"An earthquake?"
Yu Qingtan wondered, but since they were cultivators, even an earthquake shouldn't pose a threat to them.
After the trembling, a sinister red light appeared on the distant horizon.
"Young Master Ge, could it be that so sort of treasure has erged?" Yu Qingtan curiously asked.
"Maybe, I'm not sure. Shall we go check it out?"
Excitent shone in Ge Wenxiong's eyes; he was in need of an opportunity.
Yu Qingtan considered for a mont and then said, "Alright, wait for
a mont!"
Then, the Water Escape Technique was activated, and his figure disappeared.
About a dozen breaths later, he returned.
He was dressed in a gray robe and wore a matching gray hat.
"Let's go!" said Yu Qingtan.
Ge Wenxiong thought the woman before him was fiery and mysterious, quite a change from the quiet and elegant person he thought she was.
But he didn't say anything and hurried together with Yu Qingtan toward the area from where the red light emanated.
He had cultivated a movent technique that was only slightly slower than Yu Qingtan's speed, who was using spiritual power to perform the Water Escape Technique after reaching the later stages of Qi Cultivation.
Of course, that was because the water content in the air was limited; in the water, Yu Qingtan could be three tis as fast.
The place where the red light had appeared looked close, but it took them half an hour to get there.
It was a narrow basin surrounded by hundred-zhang-tall mountains lush with vegetation, yet the basin itself was barren, resembling a desert.
At this ti, there was a wide and deep fissure on the ground of the basin, from which the red light was emanating.
Around the basin, nurous demonic beasts and human cultivators had already gathered.
However, neither side had started fighting; they were both waiting on opposite sides of the basin.
Yu Qingtan and Ge Wenxiong arrived on the cultivators' side and recognized a few faces, but they didn't approach.
Using his Biching Eyes, he observed that the fissure was filled with wildly fluctuating spiritual power.
At that mont, a Plum Blossom Deer in the latter stages of the First Stage was being coerced by a Second Stage mid-level Black-Backed Bear to approach the fissure.
As it reached the edge of the fissure, the deer instinctively felt fear and turned to flee, only to see the bear's paw "gently" caressing the back of a young Plum Blossom Deer.
The helpless deer jumped into the fissure.
Yu Qingtan saw as the deer entered the fissure, its body began to bleed, then shattered, turning into fine fragnts.
"eeh~" The area fell silent, save for the pitiful cry of the young deer.
Yu Qingtan realized this must have been caused by spatial turmoil.
Everyone dared not act rashly anymore, and those as cautious as Yu Qingtan retreated quite a distance.
After about the ti it takes to burn an incense stick.
A loud "Bang!" erupted from the fissure, and the splintered rocks injured many of the closeby demonic beasts and cultivators.
From the explosion, a white figure flew out of the fissure and transford into an Escape Light that sped away into the distance.
Yu Qingtan only caught a glimpse of the exquisite white lace dress and a pair of bare, translucent and well-proportioned jade feet.
The kind you could play with for a year.
