The Three-Flavored True Fire Was a Waste on Anything but Barbecue
"Sanwei'er is really popular?" Lu Yang couldn't figure it out, thinking to himself that the senior sister couldn't even distinguish between the two words "ambiguity" and "wei". The two words just look alike, but their pronunciation is completely different.
Then Lu Yang realized that his senior sister's level of education was probably higher than his own.
Lu Yang forced a calm smile and said, "Hahaha, Senior Sister, you're really joking. You teach Samadhi True Fire, how could I possibly learn Samadhi True Fire?"
"Impossible, impossible."
Yun Zhi didn't explain, but beckoned to the puppet to fetch a piece of Demon Beast meat from the kitchen.
Yun Zhi used some unknown method to make the Demon Beast meat swirl in mid-air. "Roast it with true fire."
Lu Yang breathed out true fire, which made the Demon Beast meat sizzle and ooze oil, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted out, making Lu Yang swallow hard.
Although Lu Yang's true fire was not as powerful as Yun Zhi's, it was still much stronger than ordinary flames, and the Demon Beast meat was cooked in no time.
"Try it yourself," Yun Zhi said.
Lu Yang used his finger as a sword to slice off a small piece and put it in his mouth; it was so delicious it made his teeth ache.
This piece of Demon Beast meat had no seasoning, yet it gave Lu Yang the feeling that it was seasoned with salt, sweetened with sugar, and flavored with chili.
It truly is Samadhi Fire.
"There must be something wrong there." Lu Yang analyzed seriously. He had followed the method taught by his senior sister step by step, and with such a great expert as his senior sister personally demonstrating, there was absolutely no way he could have made a mistake!
"Let me try again, I'm sure I can succeed!"
Yun Zhi nodded. "It's good that you have this intention. Then you can cook dinner tonight, which will also help you consolidate what you've learned today."
After saying that, Yun Zhi turned around and went back to her cave abode to sit and meditate, waiting for Lu Yang's meal.
"No, wait a minute, that's not what I meant..." Lu Yang felt that his senior sister had misunderstood his determination, but by then she had already gone far away, leaving only the puppet and Lu Yang with her.
Lu Yang sighed and beckoned the puppet to come to the kitchen.
This was Lu Yang's first time in the kitchen of Heaven Gate Peak. In the past, it was always the puppets who cooked, and Lu Yang had never done it before.
Exhausted from daily martial arts practice, how could I possibly have the energy to cook?
As expected of the senior sister's private kitchen, it's even bigger than the gymnasium in my previous life. A dazzling array of ingredients are neatly arranged, and the corpses of several-meter-tall Demon Beast are scattered everywhere. The Demon Beast are majestic and awe-inspiring, so one can imagine how powerful they must have been in life.
Unfortunately, these Demon Beasts were blind in their lives, rampaging across the Central Continent. They were spotted by the senior sister and killed in one blow, without even realizing they were dead.
Lu Yang has some basic cooking skills, but that's limited to common ingredients; he doesn't recognize any of the ingredients placed in front of him.
"What should we do? What does Senior Sister like to eat? It seems like she always eats a little of everything, but I've never seen her eat anything she particularly likes?"
"Master loves barbecue the most." The sudden voice startled Lu Yang.
Lu Yang turned his head and saw that it was the puppet that was speaking.
The puppet is made of wood and resembles a female figure, but its face is not carved. The puppet has been by Lu Yang's side since his first day of cultivation, and Lu Yang never knew that puppets could talk!
"Why are you looking at me?" the puppet spoke again, confirming to Lu Yang that he wasn't hallucinating.
"You can talk? How come I've never heard you say that before?"
Why should I talk to an idiot?
"You..." Lu Yang was speechless. If he could beat it, he would have torn this broken puppet apart.
"You said Senior Sister likes barbecue? How come I've never seen her eat it?" Lu Yang looked at the puppet suspiciously.
He knew of a Law Technique called puppetry, and that those who were proficient in puppetry were called Puppet Master. Among the top-tier sects, there was also the Puppet Master Sect, which was composed entirely of Puppet Master.
But what he didn't know was the limit of puppetry, and how could it possess such high intelligence?
Is it fair to say she's worthy of being the senior sister's puppet?
"My master doesn't have the habit of revealing his personal preferences to outsiders." The puppet still spoke to Lu Yang with a disdainful tone.
"See that Kui ox on your right? Cut off its thigh; the master likes to eat this part."
"I'll trust you this once." Lu Yang felt that the puppet had no reason to play him.
He took out his Qingfeng sword and slashed at the Kui Niu's thigh. The Kui Niu's body glowed, sending Lu Yang flying. Lu Yang crashed straight into a pile of flour, getting covered in white powder.
"Cough, cough, what level was this ox in life?" Lu Yang was certain that this ox's cultivation level was ridiculously high in life, so much so that it couldn't be harmed in the slightest after death.
The puppet didn't answer, but shattered the golden protective light of the Kui Niu with a single punch. "Try again."
"Slash!" Lu Yang used the slashing technique to cut open a superficial wound.
The "Cut" technique is less powerful than the "Break" technique, but its advantage is that it has a wider coverage and can be used multiple times.
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
Lu Yang unleashed the Slash Technique three times in one go, exhausting his spiritual power. The puppet then timely fed him a Great Rejuvenation Pill.
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
The Great Elixir of Rejuvenation.
And so, after repeated cycles of cutting and cutting the Great Rejuvenating Pill, finally a portion was cut off, enough for one meal.
Having just prepared the ingredients, Lu Yang was already panting heavily, lying sprawled on the ground while the puppet continued to feed him the Great Rejuvenation Pill.
Lu Yang felt a strange sense of familiarity with this scene.
To be fair, the Great Rejuvenation Pill really worked. After taking it, Lu Yang regained his energetic self and continued cooking.
"Use Sword Qi to shred the flesh and tendons," the puppet beside him said.
The tip of the Qingfeng sword pierced into the Kui beef, releasing Sword Qi. Lu Yang felt that the Sword Qi was like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to make a ripple.
"Go for it! Go for it! You're the best!" The puppet cheered Lu Yang on, but its tone was flat, and Lu Yang felt no encouragement at all.
Lu Yang angrily retorted, "Can't you have any feelings?!"
The puppet readily agreed, "Lu Yang, although your cultivation level is very low, and you always learn things wrong, and you can't even beat me, you've already tried your best. Keep it up!"
Lu Yang's veins bulged as he continuously increased the power of the Sword Qi he released. Finally, the Sword Qi successfully entered the Kui beef, severing the tendons bit by bit.
After going through the whole process, Lu Yang was so exhausted that he had no energy left to argue with the puppet.
When it was time to roast the meat, Lu Yang was guzzling down Great Rejuvenation Pills while roasting it with the Three Flames True Fire, and the aroma of the meat quickly wafted out of the kitchen.
"It smells so good, what's that smell?" Grandpa Ba walked into the kitchen, looking for the source of the aroma, and saw Lu Yang grilling.
"Uncle Ba, what brings you here?" Lu Yang asked in surprise.
Grandpa Ba chuckled and took out a can of tea, "The Enlightenment Tea just came in. I was planning to send it to Yun Zhi, but then I smelled the aroma and saw what they were roasting. Turns out it's roasted Kui ox. With your cultivation level, you must have gone through quite a bit of trouble, right?"
Lu Yang chuckled sheepishly.
"By the way, when you asked about Lao Jiu before, do you know where Lao Jiu is?"
Lu Yang felt that his master would soon emerge from seclusion, so there was no harm in telling Grandpa Ba. He then told him about his master's seclusion in the pine forest.
Grandpa Ba's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Evil people will be punished by other evil people. That damned Lao Jiu has been locked up by Yun Zhi."
He put down the Enlightenment Tea and left, saying, "I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
Hurry up and tell your junior brothers about this, so they can all come and see Lao Jiu!
