6: Really delicious

“Junior Sister, you’re done Cultivating, come sit down and eat.” Qin Tian’s gaze towards Phoenix Moon was incredibly fervent, as if he was looking at a priceless Treasure Trove.

“While diligent Cultivation is important, you also need to relax appropriately and balance work and rest. Eat your fill and then continue to Cultivate; perhaps it will yield twice the results with half the effort.” Qin Tian’s face was wreathed in smiles, speaking encouraging words, but in his heart, he was constantly calculating how much benefit Phoenix Moon could bring him.

“Senior Brother, my talent is limited, so I can only choose to lie flat. My future completely depends on your efforts, Junior Sister.”

“This guy doesn’t Cultivate himself but keeps urging others; it’s truly speechless.”

“No need, I’m not hungry.”

She had never seen that iron pot in her previous life, even after living for over a thousand years. Such a strange and peculiar item, its taste must be mediocre.

Moreover, in this life, she didn’t want to have too much entanglement with Qin Tian, so eating together was better avoided.

“Gurgle.”

After Qin Tian’s specially made hotpot base melted, it emitted a rich aroma that made Phoenix Moon’s stomach rumble uncontrollably.

Although her consciousness had undergone Rebirth, her body had not.

“Junior Sister, you still say you’re not hungry? Don’t be shy.” Qin Tian grabbed Phoenix Moon’s hand and pulled her towards the hotpot.

Phoenix Moon’s beautiful eyes instantly turned cold, her blood flow seemed to accelerate, and even her Phoenix Body faintly showed signs of appearing.

Her hand had not been touched by anyone for tens of thousands of years, yet it was unexpectedly grasped by Qin Tian.

“Come, sit down.” After helping Phoenix Moon sit down, Qin Tian spoke to himself, “Junior Sister, since Revered Master is not here now, and it’s just the two of us, there’s no need to be formal. Senior Brother, I am very kind.”

Phoenix Moon, as if possessed, sat down.

“No, this scoundrel actually dared to take advantage of me.”

“Here, have some rinse mutton.” Qin Tian, carefree, picked a piece for Phoenix Moon with his chopsticks. “This is Snowflake Mutton, a Foundation Building Peak Spirit Beast, costing forty Low-Grade Spirit Stones per jin. If it weren’t for your arrival, Junior Sister, Senior Brother, I wouldn’t bear to buy it.”

The monthly welfare for the Foundation Establishment Stage was only eighty Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Qin Tian’s monthly Spirit Stone welfare was only enough to buy two jin.

“No, this guy’s eyes are clear; he doesn’t seem to be taking advantage. Could it be that I’m overthinking? But in my previous life, Qin Tian was constantly thinking of possessing her.”

“Perhaps this person was originally good at disguising himself, but at that time, I was too easily deceived.”

Her delicate nose twitched, and the hunger in her stomach, coupled with the aroma of the mutton, made her subconsciously pick up her chopsticks.

“This is Senior Brother’s secret dipping sauce.” Qin Tian smiled and pushed the prepared sauce towards her.

“Mm!”

Phoenix Moon instinctively hummed softly. In her previous life, she had long since cut off her desire for food and had not eaten for tens of thousands of years.

The mutton, perfectly cooked and paired with the unique dipping sauce, actually made her find it incredibly delicious.

“If you like it, eat more.” Qin Tian smiled and continued to cook meat for Phoenix Moon.

Phoenix Moon ate piece after piece, and soon, the two jin of mutton Qin Tian bought were completely devoured by Phoenix Moon.

“It’s all gone. Next time, Senior Brother will make hotpot for Junior Sister again.”

“This thing is called hotpot?” Phoenix Moon ate to her heart’s content, looked at the empty plate, then at Qin Tian. Her impression of Qin Tian seemed to have changed a little.

“Perhaps this life’s Qin Tian is different from the last? Not only did he not deduct her Spirit Stones and magic sword, but he even spent forty Low-Grade Spirit Stones to buy Snowflake Mutton for her.”

“Indeed. Junior Sister, now that you’ve eaten, continue to Cultivate. The Dao of Cultivation, besides requiring talent, also requires diligence. The mutton from a Foundation Establishment Stage beast contains abundant Spiritual Qi; Cultivating now can absorb its Spiritual Qi.”

Watching Phoenix Moon finish two jin of mutton, Qin Tian couldn’t be happier.

Consuming high-grade food is also greatly beneficial for improving one’s cultivation.

If he had eaten it himself, he probably wouldn’t have been able to absorb even a tenth, but Phoenix Moon possessed the Phoenix Body, and her absorption capacity for food was far superior to his.

Giving it to Junior Sister was equivalent to eating it himself.

Although Qin Tian was not stingy, spending eighty Spirit Stones on two jin of meat was quite extravagant.

But with the high-efficiency converter, let alone eighty Spirit Stones, Qin Tian would even be willing to spend eight hundred.

“Okay.”

Phoenix Moon got up and walked towards her room.

The Snowflake Mutton from a Foundation Building Peak beast contained a lot of Spiritual Qi; it was just right to refine it.

“Junior Sister, keep it up.” Qin Tian looked at Phoenix Moon with a firm gaze, cheering her on.

Phoenix Moon’s expression was strange. This guy wasn’t diligent in his own Cultivation, yet he was quite enthusiastic about others’ Cultivation.

“Junior Sister, wait a moment.” Qin Tian called out to Phoenix Moon. “Junior Sister, opening the Qi Sea consumes a lot of Spirit Stones. Senior Brother still has one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones and ten Spirit Pills here; you can take them for now.”

Qin Tian took out all his savings, but thinking that it could help him improve his strength, he was even happier.

Phoenix Moon was stunned for a moment, watching Qin Tian hand her all the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, making her wonder if her Rebirth was fake.

Was this Qin Tian still the same person she remembered? Had too much time passed, and she had forgotten?

She had lived for tens of thousands of years, and her interactions with Qin Tian were only in the early period after entering the Limitless Sect. With Qin Tian’s death, it had long become just a memory.

“Why are you stunneding? Hurry and take what Senior Brother gave you.” Qin Tian urged. These were all equivalent to him Cultivating, and Qin Tian not only felt no reluctance but even felt he had given too little.

Phoenix Moon accepted the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills. These resources were of no small help to her current self.

However, she wasn’t taking them for free. In the future, she would give Qin Tian some guidance to help him avoid falling and to advance further.

With her help, even if Qin Tian’s talent was ordinary, he could still become a powerful expert of the Limitless Sect and change his destiny.

“Junior Sister, go Cultivate.”

Phoenix Moon continued to Cultivate.

“It’s a pity the Phoenix Body hasn’t Awakened; otherwise, the Cultivation speed would be even faster.” Phoenix Moon muttered.

Awakening the Phoenix Body could be achieved with the help of blazing fire, but that process was too painful. She didn’t want to do it unless absolutely necessary. Besides being burned by blazing fire, the Fire Pill could also achieve it.

The grade of the Fire Pill was not high; it was just a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill.

Although a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill was nothing to her in the past, for her now, only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, it was priceless. It was a Medicinal Pill that only Nascent Soul experts were qualified to use.

A single fifth-grade Medicinal Pill was worth over one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for her now. She could only take it slow.

“Hmm, the feeling of improving my cultivation is so comfortable.” From the moment Phoenix Moon began to Cultivate, a warm sensation continuously surged within her.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

“I’ve already reached Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, but my Qi Sea hasn’t reached its limit yet, so there’s no rush to Breakthrough.” Phoenix Moon said softly, a smile appearing on her face as she felt the abundant Spiritual Qi within her body.

The first step is always exciting. After becoming a Great Emperor back then, her cultivation had not advanced for many years, but now it could be considered a different kind of progress.

The Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills Qin Tian gave her had also been completely consumed. The Phoenix Body could undergo Nirvana Rebirth, so there was no need to worry about side effects after using Medicinal Pills, but it consumed a huge amount of resources.

The System required her to surpass Qin Tian within three months, and Qin Tian was merely at the Foundation Building Initial Stage; surpassing him would be effortless.

Her current Qi Sea was only slightly smaller than a bathtub, with Spiritual Qi constantly churning within it, circulating through the meridians. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could be easily defeated by her.

“So fast! Not only did she Breakthrough to the Foundation Building Late Stage, but she has also completely consolidated it, and is only a hair’s breadth away from the Foundation Building Peak.” Qin Tian was so excited he almost jumped up. “Junior Sister, Senior Brother is completely relying on you.”

To advance two minor Realms in ten days, this was something he wouldn’t have dared to imagine before.

On the outskirts of Piao Miao Peak, three figures flew on swords, approaching Piao Miao Peak.

“This is Piao Miao Peak. As expected of one of the Nine Peaks, the Spiritual Qi is rich, and exotic flowers, strange plants, birds, and beasts are everywhere. Such a main peak is actually occupied by one person, no, two people. This is a waste of the Limitless Sect’s resources.”

“Senior Brother Xu is right. This time, the Peak Revered Master recruited hundreds of new Disciples, and the Cultivation space on Azure Sky Peak is getting smaller and smaller. If one isn’t careful, they will have to compete with others for Spiritual Qi.” A Foundation Building Initial Stage Disciple echoed.
