Chapter 218 Gold Jade 11

Lin Qingyue used her strength to prove that she really had no talent in cooking. Old Man Ju's face became darker and darker the more he taught her these days, and he sighed.

"Why do you like adding all sorts of weird stuff to it? Can't you control your hands? Can you please stop doing this?"

"I've noticed it's not that you don't know how to cook according to my instructions, but that you're too imaginative, adding a little here and a little there. And I haven't even asked you to be precise with every step! The dish is already bad!"

"Ah? I just want to give it a try." Lin Qingyue said guiltily.

Old Man Ju was having a terrible headache when suddenly an idea came to him.

"Just think of cooking as sword practice! If you imagine the kitchen knife as a sword, it will be much simpler!"

"Then let me try?"

Lin Qingyue said she would give it a try. She concentrated her mind and thought of the kitchen knife as a sword that could only chop one side, and the vegetables as enemies she wanted to chop. Everything that followed became easy.

Old Man Ju found that Lin Qingyue was already familiar with swordsmanship, so she didn't subconsciously add unnecessary details. On the contrary, it's not that she doesn't have a talent for cooking, but she needs a lot of experiments before she can understand the significance of each step for the dish.

When using the sword, Lin Qingyue was able to maintain precise cutting and use of force. Under the strict supervision of Old Man Ju, each of the following steps was completed without any danger and a piece of golden jade was made.

However, Old Man Ju said without even tasting it, "This is the worst kind."

Lin Qingyue took a bite and found that the taste was within her acceptable range. It was the first edible dish she made.

"I think it's okay."

Dust Breaking System: "What's the point of you feeling good? The mission progress bar hasn't even moved."

Lin Qingyue: ...

The comment section is buzzing with activity.

[Anchor's historic moment! I witnessed it!]

[The anchor no longer has to worry about not having food to eat outside! ]

[There's no need to worry in the first place. Didn't Pochen send the anchor a universal food box? ]

[Oh right, so what are you excited about? ]

[This is different! How can the food made in that universal food box be as meaningful as the food made by yourself? It just has no feelings!]

[But the host is very happy with the food made from the universal food box]

……

Lin Qingyue was gnawing on the drumstick of a roast chicken he had taken out of the gourmet food box. Wen Lingyun had even stopped practicing sword skills and looked over.

Lin Qingyue thought he wanted it too, so she took out a plate of roast chicken from the gourmet box and gave it to him.

"Eat?"

Wen Lingyun shook her head: "Not hungry."

Lin Qingyue took the food back and said, "That's perfect. I'll be almost full after eating one more."

Sword practice has always been a physical activity. You have to maintain a high degree of concentration during the practice. After practicing, you will feel physical or psychological hunger and sleepiness due to mental relaxation.

These can be recovered by meditating to replenish spiritual energy, but Lin Qingyue still likes to eat something to relieve his mood first.

After Lin Qingyue finished eating the roast chicken, he pulled Wen Lingyun into the green mirror and the two of them competed.

After a thrilling competition, Wen Lingyun was successfully defeated by Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue yawned. "By the way, has Juhua been pretty well behaved these past few days?"

Wen Lingyun was so tired that she didn't want to move. She blinked her eyes and watched the white clouds floating by quietly.

"He kept saying he was dying and asked me to untie him."

Lin Qingyue frowned: "Then how did you do it?"

Wen Lingyun: "I gave him a silence spell, and he finally calmed down."

"Shut your mouth?" Lin Qingyue nodded: "That's fine."

Wen Lingyun added, "Senior Sister Bi came to see us. She said that after taking the Cloud-Clearing Mist elixir, she found that she hadn't gained any enlightenment, so she planned to return to the sect to continue practicing swordsmanship."

"Lu Feizhen has achieved a breakthrough in sword intent and seems to have reached the third level of swordsmanship."

"Sister Qingyue, what is kendo?"

Lin Qingyue explained: "The way of the sword is to truly enter the path of the sword after you have comprehended the sword's meaning. At this moment, you have just comprehended the sword's meaning and are practicing the state of mind in the first level of the sword. After you break through the sword's meaning, you can go to listen to the lectures of the brothers and sisters, and you will have a deeper understanding of this."

Wen Lingyun: "I want to hear you tell me."

Lin Qingyue counted on his fingers: "That will take at least one or two years. I still haven't figured out how much life-saving power that thing has."

Wen Lingyun thought she was talking about kendo, so he said obediently, "I can go to the library to find books on these subjects."

Lin Qingyue knew he was wrong, so she waved her hand: "You don't have to wait for me. No one walks the same way. Just walk naturally when you get there. I won't wait for you."

Wen Lingyun: "I know."

Lin Qingyue waited until Wen Lingyun recovered his spiritual power and then led him out of Qingjing.

Dinner was eaten at Old Man Ju's house. Old Man Ju... no, his eldest disciple Lin Wenzhong cooked the meal himself and entertained Lin Qingyue and Wen Lingyun.

"Excuse me, Miss Lin, for making this trip."

"It's no trouble, it's just a small matter."

Old Man Ju used his serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of spirit beast meat for Lin Qingyue: "This is very nourishing, try it."

Lin Qingyue thanked her, picked it up, and took a bite. It was so delicious that she almost bit her tongue. Before she could savor the taste, the meat had already slid into her stomach.

She picked up another piece and finally tasted the deliciousness inside. She couldn't help but give Lin Wen Zhong a thumbs up.

"tasty!"

Lin Wenzhong hugged Lin Qiushi and smiled happily, "Miss Lin, eat more, eat more!"

Lin Qiushi took a few bites, then slid under the table in Lin Wenzhong's arms, dodged a few pairs of feet, and came out next to Lin Qingyue.

Lin Wenzhong's face turned a little dark, but it was not appropriate to teach his daughter a lesson in front of outsiders, so he simply ignored Lin Qiushi.

"Sister~"

Lin Qingyue looked to the side: "What's wrong?"

"Can I go upstairs and play with Brother Wen? There's my water wheel toy there."

Lin Qingyue looked at Wen Lingyun: "Do you want to go upstairs to play with your sister?"

"it is good."

Wen Lingyun was full. He nodded, walked to Lin Qingyue and held Lin Qiushi's hand.

"Lin Qiushi, we can only play for a cup of tea at most. We still have to go home later."

Lin Wenzhong gave instructions from behind, and Lin Qiushi said without turning his head, "I understand."

"This girl." Lin Wenzhong smiled helplessly.

Old Man Ju smiled and said, "Qiuqiu is so nice. It would be so much fun to have such a daughter."

Lin Wenzhong was often tortured by Lin Qiushi. He half boasted and half complained: "She is just too active in the mind. Sometimes my wife and I can't control her at home."

"But she's also very filial. I had back pain a few days ago, and she was so clever that she noticed it right away. She was giving me a back massage, but she ended up falling off the bed."

"Luckily, there was a blanket that I forgot to wash and left there, otherwise she would have come to you crying and asking for candy again."
