Departing for Tianji Sect

"Hehe..."

"Old Grandpa, thank you for giving me so much meat! Let's hurry to Tianji Sect!"

Mu Qingling took the ring and saw a pile of demon beasts inside. She immediately smiled happily and said. She was quite happy to have harvested so many demon beasts in just one night.

This way, she wouldn't have to worry about meat for a long time. Mu Qingling, who had put away the ring, urged them on.

"Okay, let's set off now."

Medicine Spirit responded and led Mu Qingling and the other person out of the great hall. Medicine Spirit took out a miniature boat from his Storage Ring and tossed it into the air. The boat then rapidly grew larger and hovered in front of Medicine Spirit.

This was a Spirit Artifact-grade ark, specifically used by cultivators for travel. However, arks were expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford them.

As the strongest Old Ancestor of Medicine King Valley, Medicine Spirit only used a Spirit Artifact-grade ark, but even so, Medicine Spirit was very satisfied.

A Spirit Artifact-grade ark could not only carry a certain number of people but also had excellent speed, equivalent to a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator traveling at full speed.

Furthermore, traveling by ark did not consume one's own Spiritual Energy, only a certain amount of spirit stones. They were usually essential items for sects.

"Little Senior, we are quite far from Tianji Sect, so we can only use the ark to travel. Please don't mind it, Little Senior."

Medicine Spirit, who had been proud of owning a Spirit Artifact-grade ark, now felt a pang of guilt when facing Mu Qingling for some reason.

In Medicine Spirit's opinion, Mu Qingling's identity was so extraordinary that she would surely look down on his humble ark!

"Huh? Old Grandpa, do you also have a flying ship?"

Mu Qingling looked at the ark hovering in front of Medicine Spirit and said curiously. This was the first time she had seen someone else with such a flying ship.

She had a flying ship herself before, but she rarely used it.

Moreover, during the time she had been out, she had never seen anyone else use one. She thought she was the only one who had one and had never taken it out.

"Little Senior, my ark is much smaller and probably not as fast as yours. Please don't mind it."

"Aren't all flying ships the same? Let's set off quickly!"

Mu Qingling didn't know about the different grades of arks. She only knew that Medicine Spirit's ark was no different from hers. Mu Qingling immediately jumped onto the ark.

Medicine Spirit was mainly taking Mu Qingling there this time and hadn't brought any other disciples from the sect. Besides him, Zhao Shanshan, and Mu Qingling, there was also Little Black on the ark.

On the ark, Medicine Spirit personally controlled it, while Zhao Shanshan helped Mu Qingling prepare milk powder.

They had initially considered having hot pot, but it was inconvenient on the ark, so Zhao Shanshan rejected the idea.

Time on the ark was boring. Mu Qingling, who didn't need to cultivate, couldn't sit still and pestered Zhao Shanshan to tell her stories.

Two days passed in boredom. They would reach Tianji Sect today if they crossed this stretch of sea.

"Little Senior, this sea area is called the Dragon Chasing Sea. Legend has it that two Earth Azure Dragons live in this sea. When night falls, they appear on the surface to chase and play."

"It's not far from nightfall now, and with the ark's speed, it's impossible for us to fly over the sea before dark. How about we rest here for a night and set off tomorrow morning?"

"Okay!"

"Big Sister, can we have hot pot today?"

Mu Qingling agreed without much thought, pulling Zhao Shanshan's hand and saying somewhat coquettishly.

"Okay, we'll have hot pot tonight."

Zhao Shanshan saw that the little girl had been craving food for two days. Since they were resting here for the night, she decided to satisfy her.

"Great!"

Mu Qingling jumped off the ark excitedly. She took out everything she needed from her ring and even released two Level 4 demon beasts, planning to use one for hot pot and the other for barbecue.

Looking at the items Mu Qingling took out and the two demon beasts on the ground, Zhao Shanshan called Medicine Spirit to help process the demon beasts.

While they were processing the demon beast meat, Mu Qingling had already started a fire and was boiling water. They could put the meat in once they were done.

In just a moment, they returned after processing the demon beasts. Medicine Spirit looked at the Spiritual Medicine floating in a large pot, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Weren't these the Spiritual Medicine from his sect's medicine fields? The little girl was actually using them to cook demon beast meat, treating Spiritual Medicine like ordinary vegetables!

These Spiritual Medicine were at least a hundred years old, and there were even two thousand-year-old ones. Now they were all thrown into the pot to be boiled. Wasn't this too wasteful!

Moreover, although these were all Spiritual Medicine, their medicinal properties were different. If they were mixed and eaten randomly, it was possible to get poisoned.

Some Spiritual Medicine had not been refined, and their medicinal properties were very violent. They could not be absorbed in this manner.

"Little Senior, can these Spiritual Medicine be eaten just like this?"

Medicine Spirit looked at the Spiritual Medicine in the large pot. Although there was no sign of poisoning from the combination, the medicinal properties of two of the Spiritual Medicine were very violent. Even with Medicine Spirit's cultivation, he wouldn't dare to consume them like this.

Let alone Mu Qingling using them to cook demon beast meat. Although demon beast meat contained a large amount of Spiritual Energy, it was also very violent.

If the two were mixed and cooked together, wouldn't they explode and die?

"Of course, they can be eaten! They taste best when cooked with meat. You'll know once you try it later, Old Grandpa."

"Quick, put the meat in. Little Black, you're in charge of the barbecue. I'll give you an extra leg later!"

Medicine Spirit could only pour the demon beast meat he was holding into the large pot. Zhao Shanshan placed the other demon beast on the grill, and Little Black immediately began its performance.

"Princess Zhao, does Little Senior usually eat like this?"

When they were free, Medicine Spirit came to Zhao Shanshan's side and asked in a low voice. He figured Zhao Shanshan might know something.

After all, the Medicine Spirit had already decided to latch onto Mu Qingling, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to her while she was under his care. What was most crucial was that the demon beasts and Spiritual Medicine were all provided by his Medicine King Valley.

If something were to actually happen to Mu Qingling from eating them, wouldn't the forces behind her just… eliminate him!

"Mhm!"

"I've eaten it twice. Once with Ling'er, and the other time with Ling'er's father. They both ate it this way."

"This..."

The Medicine Spirit didn't know what to say. Was he just ignorant?
