Chapter 299: The Missing Spirit Herb
The duration of Divine Wandering in the Void ended.
Li Qingran was reluctant to part with it.
To her, this world was still full of wonders and mysteries waiting to be explored.
But most importantly, her Master was here—a real, living Master, not just an untouchable projection.
Unfortunately, the two worlds didn’t overlap. She was destined not to stay here for long.
Before leaving, aside from packing up so tasty food, Chen Huaian also picked up a few other items.
"This one, spicy chicken ran—give it to Pavilion Master Su, he’ll love it."
Chen Huaian wore a wicked grin.
Heh heh, ti for the Pavilion Master to experience the marvels—and madness—of modern tech and snacks.
"This is Kangshi Noodles and Black Elephant brand. Tastes pretty good. Just add hot water and it’s ready to eat. Though it has zero nutritional value—just for fun… When you hand it out to the Sword Pavilion disciples, make sure to tell them not to eat the packaging! Seriously, don’t forget!"
With that, under the shocked stares of Zhao Ying and the others, Chen Huaian pulled out another giant package.
His grin was still wicked, but now it carried a hint of mischief too.
"Master, what’s that?" Li Qingran asked.
"This!" Chen Huaian shook the bag dramatically. "This is the real heavy hitter—Weilong Spicy Strips! Heh heh heh!"
"Oh!" Li Qingran’s eyes went wide. She asked hesitantly, "Are they really that tasty?"
"Well, how do I put this..." Chen Huaian wobbled his head, thinking. "They’re definitely tasty, but... you and the Sword Pavilion disciples should go easy on them. No nutritional value either. But we can sell them to the other sects."
"Sell them to other sects? Master, are you planning to start a business?"
After tasting Earth’s delicacies, Li Qingran had absolute confidence in this 'Weilong Spicy Strip.'
"You could say that," Chen Huaian mused.
If they could trade these junk snacks for cultivation resources, Sword Pavilion would be making a killing.
Of course, no one would trade top-tier resources for them, but even maintaining a steady supply of basic goods would be a huge win.
After all, the Small World only had spirit stones right now. Nothing else. Resources were seriously lacking.
"Take these Weilong Spicy Strips back with you. Let the Pavilion Master and the Elders try them first. Let Lingxi Valley and the Dan Sect try them too. Once we get a sense of their interest, we’ll set a price, then expand the market to every sect across the entire Cangyun Realm."
"Got it." Li Qingran nodded, then asked, "Master, what’s the production volu of these Weilong Spicy Strips?"
Chen Huaian smirked, spread his arms wide toward the sunlight outside the window, and declared:
"Endless! Infinite supply! Heh heh heh!"
Holy Land of Jade Pool
Inside the prison cell, Dan Yun’s alchemical fla gradually withdrew back into her body. Naked, she hugged a pill cauldron, slowly opened her eyes, but her face suddenly turned pale and a trickle of black blood slid from the corner of her mouth. Her aura was noticeably weaker than before.
“Over eighty thousand simulations… and I’ve finally figured out the inverse reaction of the pill’s effects. But the aura of this new Primordial Heaven-nding Pill is totally different from the original formula. That b***h Yuyao isn’t an idiot—she’s bound to notice… Not much ti left. What now?”
Dan Yun ford a hand seal, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.
This wasn’t her first ti attempting to simulate a solution.
Each attempt brought her closer to her end, to the severing of fate itself.
But no matter how many tis she tried, no result ca of it.
If today’s attempt failed again, her only option would be to take the riskier route—force Real Person Yuyao to take the pill.
She had thought today’s simulation would be another desperate struggle. But then, a sliver of change finally slipped through the previously fixed Heavenly Fate.
Delighted, Dan Yun’s gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, she traded what little life force she had left for that one glimpse of possibility.
But once she learned what the variable was, her expression beca strange.
"Weilong Spicy Strips? What the heck is that?"
As a Pill Cultivator, she considered herself well-versed in all kinds of spiritual herbs. But she had never heard of anything called ‘Weilong Spicy Strips.’
No impression at all.
“Dan Yun, how goes it?”
Real Person Yuyao pushed open the cell door and stepped in, her cold gaze landing on Dan Yun.
Seeing Dan Yun looking so pale and weak, the corner of her lips lifted slightly.
That ant Dan Yun was genuinely afraid now. And only a fearful Dan Yun would obediently refine the Primordial Heaven-nding Pill for her.
“Not great,” Dan Yun replied flatly, giving Yuyao a glance.
“What do you an? Don’t tell you can’t make it!” Real Person Yuyao stepped closer, her gaze sharp and venomous. “Dan Yun, your daughter is in my hands. If you don’t produce the pill, I’ll turn her into a human pill myself. Don’t think I won’t do it!”
“Real Person, it’s not that I won’t make it. It’s that the formula for the Supre-grade Heaven-nding Pill is different from the normal one. I have to modify the formula using Heavenly Fate simulation while refining. Without the missing ingredient, I can’t make the supre-grade pill.”
Yuyao’s stern expression eased slightly, and she frowned. “So have you figured out what herb is missing? Just say the word—no matter what it is, I’ll find it for you. As long as you make a supre-grade or immortal-grade pill, I guarantee you and your daughter’s safety.”
“I figured it out today.” Dan Yun said coldly. “The herb is called… Weilong Spicy Strips. Go find it, Real Person.”
“Wei…Weilong Spicy Strips?!” Yuyao twitched at the corner of her mouth. “You’re sure?”
What kind of spirit herb was that? That na was so bizarre.
She had lived for thousands of years and had never heard of such a thing.
“Of course I’m sure.” Dan Yun gave her a sideways glance and sneered:
“Or does Real Person think I’d joke around with my life and my daughter’s life?”
“…Fine!” Yuyao didn’t bother questioning why sothing called sounded so weird. She nodded imdiately, “Wait here. I’ll find this spirit herb for you within a week!”
With that, she hurriedly stord out.
“Hiss—this… Weilong Spicy Strips…”
Dan Yun gazed out the tiny window of the dungeon and muttered:
“What the hell is that, anyway…”
Sword Pavilion —
“Limitless Heavenly Venerable! This delicacy known as Black Elephant Instant Noodles must have a karmic tie with !”
“Indeed, indeed! Who knows where the Patriarch got such rare stuff… This Kangshi Noodle—Braised Beef Flavor—has not a shred of beef in it, yet tastes like beef… Strange! Curious! But absolutely delightful!”
“I still think instant noodles are just okay. Personally, I love those Weilong Spicy Strips and a cold Ice Cola~ Tsk tsk. If I could have a strip and a can of cola before sword training every morning, life would be better than being an Immortal!”
Atop Luoxia Peak, Li Qingran smiled faintly at the joyful scene unfolding before her.
She had expected Master’s snacks would be popular, but even this exceeded her imagination.
Everyone in the Sword Pavilion—from disciples to Elders to the Pavilion Master himself—
Even Elder Jiong, who had been skeptical at first, was now full of praise.
Even Senior Sister Lin from the ancestral hall, who initially turned her nose up—
After one bite of spicy strips...
She was now flying around on her sword,
A pack of spicy strips in her left hand, a pack of chicken tendons in her right, joyfully snacking away in mid-air.
As for why she didn’t co down... well, she was one of the Pavilion’s mysterious seniors. She couldn’t let the juniors see her pigging out like that.
“These things are... actually that good?!”
Mo Shui stared at the greasy strip between her fingers, utterly stunned.
She’d road the martial world for years and eaten all kinds of weird stuff—
But nothing had ever left such a deep impression.
【Girl, you’re already fasting, stop eating. Give a bite, will ya?】
Soul Abyss, the demonic blade at her waist, trembled like crazy.
The sll of the spicy strips was driving it nuts.
The countless souls sealed inside were all going berserk, nearly rioting.
Mo Shui snorted and moved the strip further away. “You dumb blade, what the h*ll do you eat for? Here, chew on the plastic wrapper instead.”
At this mont, Pavilion Master Su Qinian and Valley Master Yun Baiyu of Lingxi Valley had also tasted the spicy strips.
Li Qingran observed their varied expressions, but one thing was clear—they were very pleased with the Weilong Spicy Strips.
She thought to herself, Seems like it’s ti to convey Master’s intentions.
