I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 16 Emotional knowledge
"I want to stay a few more days. It will be difficult to come here if I go out."

Several people looked at me with worried faces.

Jingzheng advised, "Ancestor, there are many powerful monsters in Yunwu Mountain. If we encounter them, we can't defeat them together. It's better to go down the mountain and come back tomorrow."

"It's almost the same. It's almost midnight now. It's midnight when we go down. If we come back up tomorrow, we have to walk for several hours. It's too troublesome."

I really don't want to go down the mountain. Anyway, I have the realm ring and the realm beads that Lize gave me. After they leave, I will go into the realm ring to sleep. When I wake up, I will come out to catch civet cats.

"In that case, disciples, please leave first. Ancestor, please pay attention to your safety."

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain quickly, it's not safe on the road at night."

As soon as Jingzheng and the others left, I quickly entered the realm ring.

I haven't eaten much all day and I'm a little hungry.

He took out the dried meat biscuits from the Qiankun bag and put them on the table, and used the stove in the wooden house to heat some hot water.

Then he lay on the recliner and tore into the dried meat to eat.

After eating and drinking, and washing up, I went to bed.

Sleeping until midnight, a thunderous roar came from Yunwu Mountain.

Waves of howls were heard, the realm ring shook, and then the sounds of flying swords flying across the night sky came one after another.

"Set up the formation."

I heard Lize's coercive voice.

Why is he here?

Didn't he go find the Yulingcao?

That is a task on the seventh-level task list. The Royal Spirit Grass is not in Yunwu Mountain.

I gained some consciousness and went out.

Li Ze didn't come alone. He was a little far away and couldn't see the other people clearly. He only recognized Li Su.

At this moment, the demonic beasts surrounding several people were worse than Zhizhi.

A pair of big eyes are as big as lanterns, claws are like cattail leaf fans, he is a hundred meters tall, looks like a lion, and has long horns. His roar is so deafening that it can probably be heard even in Tianjing City.

Lize and the others were like ants in front of it.

The monster roared and sprayed fireballs.

Lize and the others were holding up the barrier while fighting against the monsters.

At this time, their formation was also set up.

However, the array was no longer four vertical and five horizontal. There were more flags, densely arranged in more than ten circles from top to bottom, circling around the monster.

After fighting for a long time, just when several people were exhausted, they finally trapped the monster.

The monster was probably tired, shaking its head as if dying.

The fireballs were getting smaller and fewer.

Lize put away the barrier, first formed the seal, and after completing the seal, recited the thunder-inducing curse several times.

This is the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation.

The power is comparable to the ascending thunder tribulation. Only such a powerful formation can subdue the monster.

I don’t know how many spiritual stones can be obtained from such a task. Are they high-level, immortal, or divine?

That's not right, the spiritual stone rewarded by the Royal Spirit Grass is a high-grade one, but the monsters are not only at the high-grade spiritual stone level.

Otherwise, how could they invite Li Su and Lize.

It should be an immortal spiritual stone.

Just laying out this Nine Heavens Thunder Array requires hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones to activate the array.

Not long after, thunderclouds accumulated thickly on Yunwu Mountain.

I didn't even ask if the realm ring given by Mr. Tianqi could withstand the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation. If it couldn't, I would be in big trouble. Would I be blown out?

I jumped out of the realm ring, and Li Ze was concentrating on drawing the thunder. Suddenly, he looked at me as if he had something in his heart, and his expression became solemn.

"Why are you here? Hurry..." he asked sharply, as if he didn't know how to deal with me.

Yunwu Mountain was now wrapped in thunderclouds, and it was impossible to leave. He changed his tone again and said warmly, "Good boy, come to me and walk faster."

At this moment, his face was soaked with sweat, and his hands used more spiritual power to suppress the thunder curse.

"Be good, walk faster, I can't hold myself back any longer." He gritted his teeth.

His voice was trembling, and veins popped out in his hands.

I had used up all my spiritual energy to run towards him.

Li Su also turned around and looked over, "Uncle Master, please walk faster. When the thunderstorm comes, there will be no bones left."

I offered the Emei Thorn and grabbed the Emei Thorn. The inertia of the Emei Thorn instantly brought me to Lize.

As soon as he got close to him, he was covered by a barrier, and thunder tribulation from the sky tilted down. In a blink of an eye, I was held into a familiar and warm embrace. I put my hands on his chest and could feel Lize's tight muscles.

He held up the barrier with one hand and put his other hand around my waist. The deafening thunder made my ears roar.

There are ninety-nine and eighty-one nine-day thunder arrays in total, each one leaning down with pressure that tears through the sky.

The monster beast was in the center of the thunder tribulation, and its howling never stopped. The thunder tribulation became stronger and stronger, and the monster beast's howl became weaker, continuing until early morning.

When the monster became the size of a palm, Li Su took the monster bag and put it in, then handed the bag to Li Ze.

My hands and feet were numbed by the thunder, and it took me a long time to feel anything.

After Lize let go of me, he turned his head and looked into the distance with an ugly expression, ignoring me.

I knew he was angry that I couldn't protect myself and that I dared to come to such a dangerous place alone.

"Since the monster has been subdued, let's withdraw." Li Su winked at me and said to Lize.

Lize ignored me with a stinky face, turned around and left, I stood still and didn't move.

Li Su walked a few steps and saw that I hadn't moved, "Uncle Master? Aren't you going back?"

Lize stopped and looked at me, with sadness and self-blame in his eyes.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and raised a fake smile, "I won't go back with you. I still want to..."

Lize took a breath and looked at me, the expression on his face changed several times.

He probably thought I was angry, and said with a compromising tone, "I'm sorry, I was worried about your safety just now, so my tone was a little bad. Master, please don't be angry."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's my fault for causing you trouble. You can go back first." I waved my hand.

Seeing that I was stubborn, Lize walked back to me and said, "Uncle, don't be angry. I will control my temper in the future..."

"I'm really not angry. You go back first. I still want to catch civets." I smiled at him to show that I wasn't angry.

Seeing that Li Ze and I refused to give in, Li Su had no choice but to take a few other people away.

Li Su walked far away, and Li Zecai whispered, "I'll accompany you to hunt. There's probably nothing nearby, so we have to go farther away. The thunder just now was very powerful, and civet cats are the most clever. In this situation, He’s already gone far away.”

I followed Lize further away, but he still said few words on the way.

What just happened made me see clearly the difference between the Qi training stage and the Nascent Soul stage. It is probably the difference between an elephant and an ant!

I didn't want to be a burden to him, so I said, "Lize, I can now go out alone to practice. In fact, you don't have to accompany me. How about we go separately in the future."

Lize looked up at me in disbelief, with complex emotions and grievances in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

His eyes were red and he pursed his lips, "Uncle Master, do you want to leave me?"

"No, Lize, you are so powerful, I will drag you down." I felt sour because of his behavior, so I explained hurriedly.

"I'm not afraid of you dragging me down, don't leave me behind." Lize's tone was full of caution.

Lize has changed from the cold and solemn appearance of the head of the Discipline Hall to becoming more and more like a puppy? Could it be that the problem is with me?
I'm not a big heroine, I'm just a rookie.

He turned around, stood next to me, held my hand, and said cautiously, "Uncle Master, I am willing to accompany you to practice, so please don't drive me away."

But it’s not convenient at all for Lize to follow.

"Lize, our tasks are different. I can't do your task, and it will be a drag on you."

"And my mission level is too low. How can I use a bull's-eye to kill a chicken?"

He pursed his lips, lowered his head, covered his eyes with thick eyelashes, and did not answer.

He looked a little pitiful.

"Did you hear what I said?" I felt a little soft-hearted.

"I'm not a badass."

"Who is discussing this with you?" I was helpless.

"You also need to make progress, don't you? I will always have to do it alone in the future. Besides, the shortest time for us to enter samadhi can be three to five days, or the longest time can be more than ten years, or decades, or hundreds of years. You can never practice, etc." Should I come out of seclusion? Or should I wait for you to come out of seclusion?"

"I'll wait for you! In recent decades, you won't have the chance to enter meditation for more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years."

"Are you sure that I won't reach the elixir formation stage in the past few decades? How can you underestimate me so much?"

Lize was confused. This was not what he meant originally, it was not to look down on him or not to believe him, he was just telling the truth.

"I do not have……"

We didn't talk to each other on the way to catch civet cats. In fact, I ignored him. I was afraid that the longer I stayed with him, the deeper I would get into.

After all, we are not the same people, and our seniority is not worthy.

He diligently cast a net to catch civets all the way, and he caught so many civets in one afternoon that my demon bag was full.

I did a rough calculation, and it was probably around two thousand.

Four pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones.

Thinking of the spirit stone, I feel much better.
