Test Stone Spirit Transformation

Chen Jing smiled innocently: “I have mixed spiritual roots. Senior Brother Zheng said that I can enter the inner sect to practice next month.”

“Congratulations, Senior Brother, for getting what you wished for.” Shen Leyan pointed to a large piece of beef he bought from the back kitchen, “It’s just right to eat something good today, let’s celebrate together.”

Chen Jing didn’t say anything polite to him, but asked him with some regret: “Shen Leyan, why didn’t you come to the spiritual root test today?”

“Didn’t I tell Senior Brother that I don’t want to practice immortality.”

Chen Jing bumped his shoulder: “You…”

Shen Leyan smiled and dodged: “Cook food, cook food. I feel greedy just by seeing this piece of beef…”

In ancient times, beef was not something you could eat whenever you wanted. The court stipulated that it was not allowed to slaughter oxen privately, and only when the ox died of old age or illness could the meat be eaten.

Since he came here, he has never tasted beef, let alone hot pot fat beef rolls.

 He instructed Chen Jing to help build a simple stove in the yard to make a fire and stir-fry the hot pot base, while he borrowed a sword from someone and started to cut beef rolls.

Chen Jing’s spiritual roots were detected and he could enter the inner sect to practice immediately, so the sect gave him a sword.

Shen Leyan apologized while cutting beef rolls.

Sorry, little sword, I forgot to borrow a kitchen knife from the kitchen, so I had to use you to cut beef…

Chen Jing scratched his ears: “Why do I seem to hear my sword cursing…”

Shen Leyan: “How could it be!”

“By the way, what dish are you going to make? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”

Shen Leyan made up a lie: “It’s a dish created by my parents. I used to eat it when I was a child, so I still remember how to cook it.”

After the hot pot base was fried, boiling water was poured in. A layer of red oil floated on top, bringing out a fresh and spicy aroma.

Shen Leyan looked up at the sky. It gets dark late in summer, but at this time it was already a deep purple night sky with bright twinkling stars hanging above.

He and the test Spirit Stone agreed to come here for supper together in the evening. Why hasn’t the other party arrived yet?

Maybe she was detained by Lu Yuanyi and the elders of the sect and couldn’t get out.

He looked at snow meringue and beef rolls that were halfway through, and stuffed the bowl and chopsticks to Chen Jing.

“Senior brother, the person who made an appointment with me hasn’t come yet, I have to go find her…”

Chen Jing nodded: “I understand, I’ll wait for you here – but you have to hurry up, the water in the pot will be boiled dry!”

“Okay!”

He took a shortcut and walked all the way to Lingxi Pavilion.

 He was thinking about how he could bring the test spirit stone out for a midnight snack without exposing his spiritual root if Lu Yuanyi and several sect elders were in Lingxi Pavilion.

Just as he walked out of a bamboo forest, a dark shadow suddenly appeared under the bright moonlight.

“Shen Leyan!”

Shen Leyan raised his head, and the test spirit stone in front of him had completely transformed from a stone into a little girl. She looked a few years older than when they first met, about six or seven years old.

If it weren’t for the pair of highly recognizable pigtails, he probably wouldn’t have recognized her.

“Shen Leyan, I was just about to come find you, but I didn’t expect to run into you here – you promised to treat me to delicious food, are you ready?”

“Ready. I was worried that you would be detained in Lingxi Pavilion… The sect master and several elders just let you out like that?”

The test spirit stone raised its head proudly.

 “Yes. I insisted that I had just transformed in the evening so my spiritual power was empty, my eyes were dim, and I saw it wrongly for a moment. Yunxi Sect didn’t have any disciples with a single spiritual root.

After hearing this, Lu Yuanyi, the bad guy, let me go very readily.”

Although Shen Leyan was a clear-headed college student, if he still couldn’t hear something wrong, he might not even survive the first chapter.

“…Such a poor reason, can Sect Master Lu and the elders believe it?”

“…Is my reason not good?”

“Sect Master Lu is just a bad guy, not a fool.”

The test Spirit Stone was thoughtful and nodded silently: “It seems so…”

The test Spirit Stone was born in ancient times, but it didn’t take long to transform. According to her, she was tricked back to Yunxi Sect by Lu Yuanyi with a string of candied haws when she just transformed a thousand years ago.

Later, she ate and drank in Yunxi Sect and fell asleep again.

 It was not until today that she suddenly smelled the scent of a top-grade single spiritual root that she hadn’t smelled for a long time, and then suddenly woke up.

So she didn’t have so many twists and turns in her mind like those old guys who had lived for a thousand years.

“You are still young.” Shen Leyan gently pulled the pigtails of the test spirit stone, “The routines in the world of cultivation are deep, you still have a lot to learn.”

Test spirit stone was dejected: “…Then do I have a share of the midnight snack tonight?”

“Of course, I have prepared it. Besides, this matter was a mistake, and it can’t be blamed on you.”

“But… Lu Yuanyi, the big bad guy, may come to catch you.”

“Isn’t he here yet?”

Perhaps Zheng Ziheng helped him speak in front of Lu Zongzhu, and the managers of Yunxi Sect might not intend to treat this incident as if it had never happened.

Besides, Yunxi Sect would never catch him and press his head to make him cultivate immortality.

 “Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first. The world is big, but eating is the most important… Come, eat!!!”

When they returned to the courtyard of the house, Chen Jing had already helped him put some hard-to-cook tofu and mushrooms into the hot pot.

snow meringue had also been pinched and placed on a plate beside him. It was crystal clear, and you could see the fruit pulp and cream wrapped inside.

Shen Leyan introduced to Chen Jing: “This is our new sister, her name is…”

The test spirit stone stared at the boiling hot pot: “My name is Qingli.”

Chen Jing did not suspect anything.

When the cultivators of Yunxi Sect traveled down the mountain, if they met homeless orphans, they would bring them to the sect to take in. There were so many outer disciples that it was impossible for everyone to know them.

Qingli looked like a little girl of six or seven years old. Perhaps she came to Yunxi Sect to become an outer disciple because of a change in her family.

 “Everyone, please sit down. These beef rolls and vegetables can be put in. Come, let’s have some desserts to whet your appetite.”

Qingli quickly grabbed a snow meringue and asked him curiously, “What is this?”

“A kind of pastry.”

“How is it made?”

“The outer skin is corn flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar and milk, and the inside is cream made of some fruits and egg whites.”

Qingli took a bite, savored it carefully, and finally made a comment with starry eyes.

“Next time, I won’t eat it if it’s not offered by you!”

Chen Jing was also immersed in the taste of this novel pastry, which was fragrant and sweet, soft and sticky. He didn’t know how the cream inside was made, but it tasted delicate and not too sweet.

 Hearing this, he was stunned for two seconds, as if he suspected that he was hallucinating: “What? What offering?”

Shen Leyan picked up a piece of boiled beef and pretended to be stupid: “Brother, you must have heard it wrong.”

After that, he put the beef in the bowl and blocked her mouth.

Don’t talk nonsense!
