Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 41: Roasting the Immortal Goose, Mao Ruxue's Intoxication

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Mao Ruxue practicing swordsmanship.

Graceful as a startled swan, her sword followed her every move.

Within the shadows of her sword, Chen Chang'an could sense the circulation of Yin and Yang.

It seems that during the days he was absent, this girl Mao Ruxue has already mastered the basics of the "Yin-Yang Secret Manual," a divine ability.

"Not bad."

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an nodded in approval.

In less than three days, she was able to grasp the basics of the "Yin-Yang Secret Manual," a six-stage cultivation method.

This talent, even with the help of the cultivation method he provided, is truly remarkable.

It seems that this cheap little junior sister he randomly found is indeed a treasure.

Chen Chang'an did not disturb Mao Ruxue's cultivation, but instead watched for a while.

Carrying two immortal geese, he went straight to the kitchen behind the Daoist Hall.

Although they are called immortal geese, they have no connection with immortality.

These creatures are neither Daoist beasts nor Spirit Beasts, but rather a type of ordinary poultry with a more pleasing appearance.

These geese originally appeared in the Formless World as a type of meat, but later some merchants started a trend, causing them to become "immortal geese" that ordinary people and even ordinary cultivators cannot afford!

However, this does not prevent Chen Chang'an from planning to roast them.

Clang clang clang!

In the kitchen, Chen Chang'an was busy.

Lighting the fire, boiling water, heating the wok, and frying the oil.

"Ga ga!"

With two honks, the entire kitchen was soon filled with a tantalizing aroma.

Soon, plates of dishes with rich colors and flavors were placed on the dining table.

Braised goose meat, drunken goose with immortal wine, spicy immortal goose, five-flavored immortal goose, white-cut immortal goose, and two geese with five dishes.

Each dish exuded a strong aroma that was refreshing to the senses.

"Hmm?"

"What's this smell? It smells so good!"

This tempting aroma was first detected by Mao Ruxue, who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

She stopped her practice and walked to the kitchen, where she immediately noticed Chen Chang'an's busy figure.

"Eh? Senior Brother?"

"Senior Brother, you're back?!"

After seeing Chen Chang'an's figure clearly, Mao Ruxue was initially surprised, but then excitedly shouted.

She put down the sword in her hand and quickly walked into the kitchen.

During the days when Chen Chang'an was not on the mountain, although she had freedom, she was bored to death.

"Yes, I'm back."

"I'm not very proficient in cultivation, and there's nothing good to gain from wandering around, so I came back early."

"When I came back, I saw you practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, so I didn't disturb you."

"Now that you've finished, let's have something to eat first."

At this moment, Chen Chang'an also finished the last dish. He nodded and said to Mao Ruxue.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Mao Ruxue happily nodded and then moved a chair to sit at the table.

In fact, as soon as she smelled the aroma of the goose, Mao Ruxue couldn't wait to take a bite.

She was just waiting for Chen Chang'an to say those words.

So after sitting down, she quickly picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

The moment she put a piece of goose meat into her mouth, Mao Ruxue's eyes lit up.

"Hmm?!"

"Senior Brother, what did you make? How can it be so delicious!"

Mao Ruxue could guarantee that this was absolutely the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life, without a doubt.

"When I went up the mountain, I encountered some wild geese. They looked quite plump, so I caught them to eat."

"As for the skill of cooking geese, I've been figuring it out during my free time in recent years. If you want to learn, I can teach you in a few days."

Chen Chang'an brought the last plate of goose meat and scooped two bowls of rice onto the table, saying so.

Saying that, he also sat down and picked up a piece of roasted goose meat to put into his mouth.

Fortunately, the taste is still there.

It seems that my culinary skills have not declined in these years.

Since practicing seclusion, Chen Chang'an rarely eats.

The number of times he cooks is even fewer.

Usually, he only goes down the mountain to satisfy his cravings occasionally. Sometimes, when he's lazy, he catches some wild game in the mountains to prepare.

On average, less than three times a year.

In the five years since becoming Emperor Song, he hasn't cooked a single meal.

Originally, he thought that not cooking for so long would have made his culinary skills decline.

But now, it seems fine. Apart from the taste being a bit unfamiliar, everything else is still good.

It has to be said that this is a pleasant surprise.

"Senior brother, can you really teach me?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue raised her head in disbelief.

These days, skills are not easily passed down.

Not only in the mortal world, but also in the human realm.

Every skilled person always keeps their expertise hidden and rarely passes it on.

Mao Ruxue didn't expect that her senior brother, whom she had just met not long ago, would be willing to pass on such a good skill to her.

For a moment, she was extremely excited.

"Well, think about it. If you really want to learn, I'll teach you."

Chen Chang'an nodded, not paying much attention to it.

"Senior brother, no need to think about it, I want to learn."

Mao Ruxue nodded vigorously.

If she didn't learn such a good skill, she would regret it.

"Alright, in a few days, go down the mountain and buy a few geese of this kind. I'll teach you."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

He couldn't help but smile inwardly at Mao Ruxue's happiness.

Well, now he has another reason not to do the cooking himself.

"By the way, junior sister, did anyone come to see me while I was away?"

Chen Chang'an casually picked up a piece of goose meat and asked Mao Ruxue.

"Senior brother, I was just about to tell you about this."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue mumbled while eating.

"It was on the day you just left the mountain."

"There was a middle-aged Taoist who claimed to be Lao Niu. He came to look for you."

"I told him that you were in seclusion, and then he left, saying that he would come back when you returned in a few days."

"But senior brother, how did that old Taoist know that you weren't in seclusion but had left the mountain? I clearly remember that I didn't slip up."

In the end, Mao Ruxue asked in confusion.

"It's alright. That old Taoist is the mountain lord of the neighboring Qiyuan Mountain. According to seniority, you can call him senior brother."

"He knows about my situation, so the lie of seclusion couldn't fool him."

Chen Chang'an explained after listening.

"Alright, junior sister, I know about this matter. Is there anything else?"

Chen Chang'an scraped the rice in his bowl and already knew who Mao Ruxue was talking about.

And precisely because he knew, Chen Chang'an didn't pay much attention to this matter.

If that old guy usually comes to find him, it's usually not a big deal!

So, after knowing about this matter, Chen Chang'an quickly put it out of his mind.

Instead, he asked Mao Ruxue about what had happened on the mountain in the past few days.

"Senior brother, there is nothing else besides this."

Mao Ruxue said.

"Oh, right, senior brother, there is one more thing."

"On the second day after you left the mountain, someone came from the main peak. He is a second-generation disciple of the Merit Hall."

"He found me and said that I should go to the main peak in two months for a one-month sect cultivation."

"He also gave me this token and said that I can use it to go there when the time comes."

"Senior brother, is this true?"
