"We learned your Flying Sword technique. Treating you to a meal is nothing. No big deal, no big deal." The three waved their hands together.

“Then stay and eat with us.” Yang Ice Xiaobing rolled up her sleeves, ready to prepare the ingredients.

Yang Ice Xiaobing's main field was Spirit Plants.

She had already reached the Fifth Qi Refining Layer, and her Water Spiritual Root made her naturally suited to Spirit Plants. Her knowledge of ingredients and how to use them had long surpassed that of an ordinary nutritionist.

On a snowy night like this, a bowl of hot soup brewed by a Spirit Botanist, followed by the hot dishes and rice she made, would do wonders for body and mind. And this was the Spirit Lamb Gazing at the Moon Ascension Recipe!

Tomorrow, everyone would be in top form for the test!

"Great! We'll stay and eat!"

The three spoke in unison.

It was also a way to show good faith and dispel suspicions about poison, laxatives, or anything of the sort.

Otherwise, with an exam underway, who would dare eat food from strangers?

Yang Ice Xiaobing breathed a sigh of relief when they agreed. She took out a few sweet potatoes and tossed them into the fire pit.

"I want one of those later."

Xu Yuan voiced his approval.

A bed of ash over burning wood was perfect for roasting sweet potatoes.

"It's getting late. Sit for a bit, and I'll have it ready soon."

With that, Yang Ice Xiaobing picked up the big iron pot and went to the kitchen.

Xu Yuan and Jiang Xueyao stayed behind, sitting with the three by the fire and chatting as they warmed themselves.

Before long,

the door was pushed open again.

A Talisman flew in and landed beside the fire.
