But soon, she found herself in a dilemma, faced with the corpses of two mutant rabbit beasts, unsure of where to start and not knowing how to proceed.
As a Golden Core cultivator, slaying mutant beasts was undoubtedly within her capabilities, but gutting and skinning them for cooking was sothing Chu Xiaoqing was attempting for the first ti.
So she didn’t know where to begin.
Lu Qing noticed and chuckled, then walked over: "Let handle it."
With that said, he took the two rabbit mutant beasts and summoned a strand of Sword Qi.
Swiftly gutting them, removing the skin, and then using a cloud to clean them before finally chopping them into pieces.
Chu Xiaoqing was srized watching Lu Qing expertly handle the ingredients.
She originally thought that when Lu Qing said he knew a little, he really ant just a little.
However, seeing his proficient movents, it was clear he was just as skilled as the Spirit Chefs in restaurants.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, I’m too clumsy."
Only when Lu Qing placed the at into the simring dicinal soup did Chu Xiaoqing snap out of it and quickly expressed gratitude.
"No problem, I’m not busy with anything else right now anyway."
Lu Qing smiled and proceeded to take out a few more mutant rabbit beasts from his Qiankun pouch.
Then he took out a rune-engraved Jade Jar and so Spirit Rice.
Using the Small Cloud Rain Skill, he summoned a cloud to quickly rinse the Spirit Rice before placing it into the Jade Jar.
With the Mana activated, the runes on the Jade Jar lit up, soon emitting waves of heat.
In the sa manner, Lu Qing sliced one of the mutant rabbit beasts, preparing to cook it in the jar.
The remaining three mutant rabbit beasts were skewered, and he summoned a Spiritual Fire to slowly roast them.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Chu Xiaoqing watched in a daze and couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s been a while since I made breakfast, just testing if my skills are still sharp."
Lu Qing controlled the Spiritual Fire, slowly roasting the mutant rabbit beast in his hand.
Lately, he had been either repairing things or traveling.
He hadn’t cooked for himself in a long ti.
Seeing Chu Xiaoqing simring the dicinal soup earlier, he couldn’t help feeling tempted.
"Brother Chen, do you always carry Spirit Rice with you?"
Slling the rice aroma slowly wafting from the Jade Jar, Chu Xiaoqing asked again.
"Yes, I love food, so I usually carry so cookware and ingredients with . I even grew this Spirit Rice myself."
"Grew the Spirit Rice yourself..." Chu Xiaoqing was stunned again.
Because this was yet another unexpected response from him.
Watching Lu Qing seriously roast the at, Chu Xiaoqing felt a bit dazed.
She found that the more she interacted with Brother Chen, the less she understood him.
Aside from his unfathomable Cultivation Realm, it was also his various unexpected behaviors.
Like him personally growing Spirit Rice, which she couldn’t quite understand.
Growing Spirit Rice was usually sothing the Outer Disciples in the Qi Refinent Realm of the sect did.
Why would soone like him, a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, do such nial tasks?
While Chu Xiaoqing was lost in thought, the Spirit Rice Porridge in the Jade Jar began to gently boil.
Lu Qing added the sliced rabbit at to the jar, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Of course, the more intense aroma still ca from the mutant rabbit beast he was roasting.
The rich aroma quickly caught the attention of the other Qiankun Sect disciples cultivating in the valley, who all opened their eyes.
Even Ye Qingzhu and others, ditating inside another wooden house, were drawn to it.
"It seems Mr. Chen is in good spirits, roasting at early in the morning."
Qin Zheng walked out of a wooden house, chuckling.
"Just passing the ti. Also, Miss Ye, the dicinal soup Miss Chu cooked is done. After you eat, it should help replenish so Qi-Blood."
Lu Qing moved the pot of dicinal soup aside and fetched so bowls and chopsticks, gesturing to Ye Qingzhu and others.
Knowing that Chu Xiaoqing prepared this dicinal soup especially for them, Ye Qingzhu and the others expressed their gratitude before taking it.
However, after taking a sip, they couldn’t help but pull a bitter face.
"Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Zi Xiao, how is it? This is my first ti cooking. Is it good?"
With anticipation, Chu Xiaoqing asked.
"Hmm, it’s not bad, just a bit too strong on the herbal taste," Ye Qingzhu said with a forced smile.
"Delicious!" Zi Xiao said seriously.
As for the other two Qiankun Sect disciples, naturally, they didn’t dare say anything negative and also praised the taste.
This round of complints imdiately made Chu Xiaoqing beam with joy.
Cooking for the first ti and earning the approval of her senior brothers and sisters proved she had a knack for being a Spirit Chef.
Thrilled, she imdiately announced, "Then I’ll cook dicinal soup for you all in the coming days."
Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu and the others froze.
"Well, no need for you to go through such trouble, Junior Sister. I feel like I’ve almost fully recovered, and too much dicinal soup might overburden ," Ye Qingzhu gently replied.
"Yes, yes!" The three with Zi Xiao nodded in agreent.
"Oh, that’s a pity," Chu Xiaoqing said with so regret.
Seeing her relent, Ye Qingzhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had to consu the Junior Sister’s dicinal soup several more tis, even if their physical injuries healed, their Divine Soul might suffer quite the trauma.
Lu Qing watched from the side, secretly amused but didn’t expose the situation. Instead, he served four bowls of at porridge and handed it to them.
"Miss Ye, you should also try the at porridge I cooked. It’s made with Spirit Rice and mutant rabbit at, and it has good nourishing effects for the body as well."
