Drinking Soup Together

Having completely understood everything, there was no point in him sitting here anymore.

After patting his bottom, Tang Yu quickly grabbed the bucket and ran off. The water was so cold that his testicles almost shrunk in.

After realizing that Tang Yu had left.

A hint of disdain flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes. He cursed inwardly, "What a lazy, slacking good-for-nothing! How could my aunt have taken in such a worthless disciple?"

Is he really so dull-witted that he can't perceive the benefits of cultivating here?

He then continued to sit there and hone his inner energy, still a long way from comprehending the principles of Yin and Yang.

After being freed, Tang Yu put on his clothes and began climbing up the steep slope beside the waterfall.

This is considered the highest point of the Nine Heavens Alliance. After climbing up, Tang Yu could take in the entire scenery of the Nine Heavens Alliance.

The entire Nine Heavens Alliance is surrounded by mountains, with towering peaks on both sides, while the area where the Nine Heavens Alliance is located is concave inward. If it were drawn on a map, it would definitely resemble an incense burner.

"The incense burner case... the feng shui is indeed good, but isn't this the feng shui of a cemetery?"

After muttering something to himself, Tang Yu's expression turned unusually serious.

Qingnang Heavenly Scripture from the system, his expertise in Feng Shui was actually quite high.

According to feng shui, if this place is used as a burial site, the descendants will be very wealthy and prosperous.

Tang Yu wasn't entirely convinced by this claim.

If feng shui alone could make you rich, real estate developers would have already hired a bunch of feng shui masters to buy up all these prime locations.

However, he still subconsciously did some calculations.

According to the feng shui principles of the incense burner-shaped burial site, the location of the tomb...

After observing for a while, he concluded that it was in the innermost core area of the inner gate.

"Maybe I can go and take a look if I have the chance."

Tang Yu's interest was indeed piqued.

The Qiu Family has lived here for hundreds of years, so Old Loach's attack on the Nine Heavens Alliance back then was definitely not that simple.

Given the Ye Family's strength at the time, taking the reclusive Nine Heavens Alliance under their wing would have been utterly meaningless.

Taking such a huge risk must be worth the gamble!

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu decided to first set up some informants, so he went to the nearby mountains and forests to catch birds and various small animals.

After an hour of effort, he had harmed many small birds and rabbits.

After estimating that he had controlled more than eighty small animals, Tang Yu decided to stop there, as he couldn't handle controlling any more.

After letting those guys scatter, Tang Yu originally planned to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

I only thought of my master, who arranged for me to cultivate in seclusion here.

Running out like this doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

So he casually caught a pheasant and picked some wild mushrooms to use as food.

There happened to be a small hut here that could be used for cooking, and Tang Yu noticed that there were seasonings like salt on the stove.

Stuff firewood into the stove and start a fire.

Tang Yu carried the pot to the water's edge, washed the ingredients, filled it with about half a pot of water, and placed it on the stove to start simmering the pheasant and mushroom soup.

After simmering for about half an hour, a rich aroma wafted out of the house.

Ye Qiu, who was focused on his cultivation, twitched his nose slightly, opened his eyes, looked towards the source of the fragrance, and couldn't help but swallow.

He hadn't eaten yet today, and this chicken soup was really making his stomach rumble.

"I've finished my twelve hours of cultivation for today; it's time to eat."

After muttering something, Ye Qiu jumped out of the waterfall and started getting dressed on the shore.

He had no intention of asking this guy named Ling Jun for food.

Instead, she planned to gather some ingredients herself and cook a pot of it.

"Senior Brother Ye Qiu, have you eaten? If not, let's eat together?"

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yu came out carrying a large pot of fragrant chicken soup and greeted him warmly.

Now that the two are nominally fellow disciples, Tang Yu plans to cultivate a good relationship with Ye Qiu in order to see if he can extract any useful information from him.

"Uh... Junior Brother Ling, you're too kind. Let's go together then."

Smelling the enticing aroma, Ye Qiu simply couldn't bring himself to say anything polite.

Soon, the two were sitting by the pot, enjoying the pheasant and mushroom soup.

The chicken was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were incredibly delicious, and the chicken soup was so good that Ye Qiu's eyes widened and he drank two large bowls in one go.

Of course, if he knew that the man sitting across from him was actually Tang Yu.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to drink even the most delicious soup.

Let's kill this bastard first!

The two devoured a large pot of chicken soup in no time.

After soaking in icy water for half a day, I came out and drank this huge pot of chicken soup.

Ye Qiu's mood improved considerably at this moment.

Just as he was about to strike up a conversation with Tang Yu, he suddenly noticed that the space around him seemed to be distorting.

Little figures were riding horses and running around him.

There were also some little people holding hands and dancing happily in front of him.

"Where did this ghost come from?"

Ye Qiu, looking shocked, tried to stand up, but found that his limbs swayed uncontrollably.

After collapsing to the ground, Ye Qiu quickly began foaming at the mouth.

Tang Yu, who had also made a lot of pheasant and mushroom soup, also saw these little people at this moment.

However, his condition wasn't as serious as Ye Qiu's.

This is mainly because the Dog System gave him a constitution that makes him immune to all poisons.

So the poisonous wild mushrooms didn't have much of an effect on him; at most, they had a hallucinogenic effect.

Just as the two were being poisoned, an old man walked over from a distance; it was none other than the Second Elder Qiu Fenghan.

He had just finished eating and was planning to come over and check on Ye Qiu's cultivation progress today.

As a result, he could smell a delicious aroma from afar, which made him, who had just finished eating, feel a little hungry.

Then, he saw Tang Yu and Ye Qiu lying on the ground.

"Holy crap."

Qiu Fenghan's eyes widened as he rushed to the two of them, then glanced at the pot and instantly understood what was going on.

Without saying a word, he picked one up in each hand and headed straight for the clinic.

The Nine Heavens Alliance has a dedicated medical clinic where disciples come to get treatment for injuries or illnesses sustained during martial arts practice and sparring.

After bringing the two foodies to the clinic, Qiu Fenghan threw them on the ground and looked at a disheveled, Mediterranean-looking old man, shouting.

"Old Wang, quickly treat these two disciples; they've been poisoned."

"Poisoning? What did they eat?"

"Two idiots ate the poison umbrella."

Upon hearing Qiu Fenghan's reply, Old Wang, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea, nearly spraying it onto Qiu Fenghan's face.

The poisonous agaric mushroom mentioned by Qiu Fenghan is a type of wild poisonous mushroom.

This isn't the kind with a red umbrella and a white pole; it's a white umbrella with a white pole, which can easily be mistaken for something else.

Old Wang knew the poison well; last year, one of his unlucky disciples almost died from it.
