Setting Out for Tianji Sect

"Hehe..."

"Old Master, thank you for giving me so much meat! Let's hurry and set off for Tianji Sect!"

Mu Qingling took the ring and saw the pile of demonic beasts inside. Her face immediately blossomed with joy as she spoke. In just one night, she had gained so many demonic beasts, and Mu Qingling was truly happy.

This way, she would not have to worry about meat for a long time. After putting away the ring, Mu Qingling immediately began urging him on.

"Alright, then we'll set off now."

Medicine Spirit answered and led Mu Qingling and the others out of the main hall. He took a miniature boat from his Storage Ring and tossed it into the air. The little boat rapidly grew larger, hovering before him.

This was an artifact-grade ark, specially used by cultivators for travel. However, arks were costly to make, and ordinary people truly could not afford one.

As the strongest ancestor of Medicine King Valley, Medicine Spirit only used an artifact-grade ark. Yet even so, he was quite satisfied with it.

An artifact-grade ark could not only carry a certain number of people, but its speed was also excellent, equivalent to a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator traveling at full speed.

Moreover, traveling by ark did not consume one's own spiritual energy. It only required a certain amount of spirit stones, making it a necessity for most sects.

"Little Senior, Tianji Sect is rather far from here, so we can only travel by ark. I hope Little Senior will not find it lacking."

Medicine Spirit had once been proud of owning an artifact-grade ark, but for some reason, when facing Mu Qingling now, he actually felt a trace of guilt.

In Medicine Spirit's view, someone with an identity as formidable as Mu Qingling's should probably look down on an ark like his.

"Eh, Old Master, you have a flying ship too?"

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

She had possessed a flying ship before as well, but she rarely used it.

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

"Little Senior, my ark is much smaller, and it probably isn't as fast as yours. I hope Little Senior will not dislike it."

"Aren't flying ships all the same? Let's hurry up and go!"

Mu Qingling had no idea that arks were divided into grades. She only knew that Medicine Spirit's looked no different from hers, and she promptly jumped onto the ark.

Medicine Spirit was mainly bringing Mu Qingling along this time and had not brought any other sect disciples. There were only him, Zhao Shanshan, and Mu Qingling aboard the ark, along with Little Black.

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

Mu Qingling had originally wanted hotpot, but it was somewhat inconvenient aboard the ark, so Zhao Shanshan rejected her plan to eat hotpot.

The time spent aboard the ark was boring. Mu Qingling, who did not need to cultivate, could not sit still at all and pulled Zhao Shanshan along, asking her to tell stories.

Two days passed amid Mu Qingling's boredom. As long as they crossed this stretch of sea today, they would reach Tianji Sect.

"Little Senior, this sea is called the Dragon Chasing Sea. It is said that two Earth Azure Dragons live within it, and once night falls, the two Earth Azure Dragons emerge upon the sea to chase and frolic with one another."

"It will be dark before long. At the ark's speed, it is certainly impossible for us to cross the sea before nightfall. How about we rest here for the night and set off again early tomorrow morning?"

"Alright then!"

"Big Sister, shall we have hotpot today?"

Mu Qingling did not think much of it and immediately agreed. Holding Zhao Shanshan's hand, she spoke in a somewhat coquettish manner.

"Alright, we'll have hotpot tonight."

Zhao Shanshan saw that the little girl had been craving it for two days. Since they were staying here for the night, she might as well satisfy her.

"That's wonderful!"

Mu Qingling hopped off the ark, took out everything they needed from her ring, and even released two level-four demonic beasts. She planned to use one for hotpot and the other for barbecue.

Seeing the things Mu Qingling had taken out, along with the two demonic beasts on the ground, Zhao Shanshan called Medicine Spirit over to help process the beasts.

While the two of them prepared the demonic beast meat, Mu Qingling had already started a fire and boiled water. Once they were done, the meat could go into the pot.

In no time, the two had finished processing the beasts and returned. Medicine Spirit looked at the spirit herbs floating in a large pot, and the corner of his mouth could not help twitching.

Weren't these all spirit herbs from the medicinal fields of his sect? The little girl was actually using them to boil demonic beast meat. She truly treated spirit herbs like ordinary vegetables!

Those spirit herbs were at least a hundred years old, and two of them were even over a thousand years old. Now they had all been tossed into the pot to boil. Wasn't this far too wasteful?

Furthermore, although these were all spirit herbs, every one of them had different medicinal properties. If they were mixed and eaten carelessly, poisoning was entirely possible.

There were also some spirit herbs that had not been refined, whose medicinal properties were extremely violent. They could not possibly be absorbed simply by eating them like this.

"Little Senior, can these spirit herbs really be eaten like this?"

Medicine Spirit looked at the spirit herbs in the large pot. Although there did not seem to be any issue of incompatible herbs causing poison, the medicinal properties of two of the herbs were exceptionally violent. Even with Medicine Spirit's cultivation, he would not dare consume them this way.

Not to mention Mu Qingling was using them to boil demonic beast meat. Although demonic beast meat contained a large amount of spiritual energy, that energy was equally violent.

If the two were mixed together and boiled for eating, wouldn't that cause one to explode and die?

"Of course they can be eaten! They taste best when used to cook meat. Old Master, you'll know once you try some later."

"Hurry and pour the meat in. Little Black, you're in charge of the barbecue. Later, I'll let you eat one extra drumstick!"

Medicine Spirit could only pour all the demonic beast meat in his hands into the large pot, while Zhao Shanshan placed the other demonic beast on the Grill Rack. Little Black hurriedly began its performance as well.

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

Once the two had some free time, Medicine Spirit walked to Zhao Shanshan's side and asked quietly. Zhao Shanshan should know something about it, after all.

Medicine Spirit had already decided to cling to Mu Qingling's great tree, so naturally he did not want anything to happen to her here. Most importantly, those demonic beasts and spirit herbs had all been supplied by Medicine King Valley.

If Mu Qingling really ate herself into trouble, wouldn't the force behind her chop him to pieces?

"Mm."

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

"This..."

After hearing that, Medicine Spirit did not know what to say. Could it be that he was simply ignorant and inexperienced?
