At noon the next day, after picking the fruit of the Starsea Raiment, Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu were not in a hurry to try their luck in the mystic realm array. Instead, they returned to the Sumeru Mustard Seed and let Gou Liang refine the Raiment Fruit to improve his cultivation.
Mo Yinchu did not eat the Raiment Fruit. After all, to use the Dual Cultivation Secret Technique to return the High Heaven Sword to his hands, the prerequisite was that Gou Liang's cultivation was above his.
At this time, he was trying to use the nectar of the Starsea Raiment to refine the Heart Recovery Pill.
Ancestor Cloud Sky fled in a hurry and found that Li Minghua's Sumeru Ring had been sealed with a butterfly. He did not even care about transferring the resources in the ring and abandoned it to escape. Li Minghua, as the most promising junior of the Ling Xiao Arch and the nurturing of Ancestor Cloud Sky, had everything in the Sumeru Ring for alchemy. There were also many high-grade pill recipes.
Coincidentally, there was a pill recipe for the Heart Recovery Pill.
With Gou Liang's current cultivation at the early Aurous Core stage, the ten thousand year Raiment Fruit contained too much spiritual energy. He could barely absorb one, and it took him three days to finish absorbing it.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard an ear-piercing explosion.
Bang.
The sword cultivator ancestor, Mo Yinchu, who was distracted to look at him, had his cauldron explode as expected.
Gou Liang looked at the ruined medicinal dregs in the furnace, covered his nose and said in disgust, "Fortunately, Master did not expect you to wash your hands and make soup for me. What a waste of resources."
Mo Yinchu said that his Master had taught him a lesson, but he still looked at the charred furnace and did not give up on making another furnace.
Gou Liang waved his hand to clean up the mess and said to Mo Yinchu, "Let me see the pill recipe."
Mo Yinchu handed it over with both hands. Gou Liang glanced at it with his Divine Sense, then prepared the Raiment Nectar and the rest of the required medicinal herbs. He took out his usual kitchen utensils from the Sumeru Ring to cook these herbs.
Gou Liang opened the cauldron and lit the fire. He used the right amount of ingredients as he pleased, completely different from Mo Yinchu's strict concoction.
Seeing this, Mo Yinchu opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not stop him from messing around.
Although these herbs were precious, they didn't lack the Rainbow Skirt Flower Dew. Moreover, these herbs were all obtained from Li Minghua's spatial ring, so there was still some left over.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, a rich fragrance assailed his nostrils.
The fire he used was not an ordinary fire, but the Deviant Fire that the original owner, Lu Xun, had specially found for cooking. When the flame was ignited, it was shaped like the lotus platform under the Goddess of Mercy. The flame was three degrees of maturity. The small flame was dark blue, the middle flame was purple blue, and the large flame was purplish red. Thus, it was named the Three-Colored Goddess of Mercy. With its support, Gou Liang's culinary skills were enhanced by a lot.
When Mo Yinchu saw him for the first time, he couldn't help but worry about his grand-disciple's flamboyant actions. Who knew how many pill cultivators would be envious of him just based on this.
The fragrance was mellow and rich, even richer than the fragrance of pills. Mo Yinchu was a discerning person. When he smelled the fragrance, he knew that the medicinal properties had already spread out. The first step of refining pills was a success. It was a pity that it was stewing in the cauldron, so it couldn't condense pills like it was in the cauldron.
His heart stirred, and he said, "Master is quite talented in the path of alchemy, why not give it a try? Haven't you always regretted that those pill cultivators don't have the cultivation and taste of spirit chefs? "
Gou Liang raised his lips and smiled, "Master doesn't want to steal the pill cultivators' rice bowls. Otherwise, if Master gets serious, the Ling Xiao Arch will have to close down."
Mo Yinchu, "… Master is right."
Gou Liang, "Hahahaha."
The master and disciple joked and boasted, and the medicinal fragrance became more and more enchanting. The transparent nectar and a bunch of herbs had already been boiled, and the color of the soup slowly turned from the color of water to the same light orange color as the milk of the Rainbow Skirt Fruit.
Gou Liang saw that the temperature was about right, so he adjusted the flame to a purple-blue medium flame. He took out a jade gourd and said to Mo Yinchu, "It smells so good. When Master puts in some wine ingredients, the taste will be even more perfect."
He was very happy, and didn't care about Mo Yinchu's disapproval. He poured the spirit wine and used his hand as a fan, smelling the fragrance, and sighed with intoxication.
"Putting in the spirit wine is really a stroke of genius. Wonderful. Wait for me to cook two more side dishes and a bowl of spirit rice. It's really a supreme enjoyment. "
Mo Yinchu watched him lick his lips greedily, and as he spoke, he took out the ingredients and prepared to cook. Just as he was shaking his head and laughing, he suddenly heard a clap of thunder.
Gou Liang was shocked, "How can there be thunder in the Sumeru Mustard Seed?"
Mo Yinchu said, "That's the sound of thunder tribulation. Could it be that someone in the secret realm broke through to Nascent Soul … "
"That's not right. Why do I feel that the sound is coming towards us — Fuck!"
Before Gou Liang's voice fell, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck down without warning, directly aiming at the soup pot in front of him!
In the blink of an eye, just before the soup was destroyed and the pot shattered, Gou 'Foodie' Liang's body suddenly surged with a primordial force. By the time Mo Yinchu, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, reacted, he had already jumped several feet away with the pot of soup!
A fiery cloud of thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the cloudless sky of the Sumeru Mustard Seed. Without waiting for Gou Liang to catch his breath, a second bolt of thunder followed.
Pill tribulation cloud?
No, it wasn't pill tribulation. But Mo Yinchu had never seen this kind of fiery red tribulation cloud, and he had also never heard of food cooked by a spirit chef that could attract lightning tribulation. This was really …
"F * ck, stop following me! Mo Yinchu, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop it for me! "
Gou Liang's shout snapped Mo Yinchu's mind back. He originally didn't plan to block the lightning tribulation for Gou Liang. This thing was a good opportunity for cultivators. But when he saw that the pressure of the fourth bolt of tribulation had already exceeded what a Golden Core cultivator could withstand, Mo Yinchu immediately forgot his original intention of letting Gou Liang gain experience, and hurriedly flew to block it.
After three more bolts of tribulation lightning, the final one came down with accumulated power. Even Mo Yinchu couldn't directly face it head-on. He hurriedly took out his magic tool to block it, and only then did he avoid the tribulation.
Eight bolts of tribulation lightning, eighth grade spirit … soup?
Mo Yinchu didn't know whether to laugh or praise Gou Liang's specialization. Even the lightning tribulation of breaking through to Nascent Soul wasn't as big as this bowl of soup.
"Hot, hot, hot!"
Seeing that the fire clouds had dissipated, Gou Liang finally dared to put down the soup pot and shouted.
Mo Yinchu grabbed his hand to take a look. The remaining flame power of the "Tricolor Guanyin" on the black steel pot had almost cooked Gou Liang's hand!
"You!"
Mo Yinchu was instantly enraged. He saw Gou Liang crying out in pain while blowing air into his palms. His appearance was both stupid and stupid, but it caught Mo Yinchu off guard and caused his heart to be hit by a strange emotion. He couldn't say anything and could only hurriedly summon the spirit spring water to wrap around his hands to heal his injuries.
After the pain subsided, Gou Liang finally had the energy to curse, "What's going on? I've never heard that cooking a pot of soup could attract lightning tribulation."
Mo Yinchu didn't want to discuss with him the common knowledge that the appearance of a treasure could attract lightning tribulation. He said unhappily, "Why didn't you shout in pain just now? Don't you know that it's hot?"
Gou Liang, "… It came to snatch food from me. How could I care so much?"
Mo Yinchu said angrily, "You're always spoiled by this gluttonous habit of yours!"
Gou Liang pursed his lips and didn't refute, but his heart was extremely sullen.
His husband's favorability towards him was only 66, and even the Lord God's Law didn't love him anymore. When he shouted to stop, it still chased after him. It was simply too tiring.
Mo Yinchu looked at his wet peach blossom eyes and his heart softened. He didn't even realize that he had fallen. His tone softened first, "Don't mess around like this next time. If the soup is gone, it can be cooked again. What if I hurt you?"
As he said this, he dispersed the spiritual spring water and carefully looked at Gou Liang's hands. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he let him go and said, "Go drink the soup. Since it's an eighth rank treasure appraised by the Heavenly Dao, it should be extraordinary. I just don't know how it compares to the Heart Recovery Pill. "
He scooped a bowl of soup for Gou Liang. Gou Liang held the bowl with both hands but didn't drink it. Instead, he stared straight at him.
Mo Yinchu was puzzled by his stare. He asked with some hesitation, "Master, why aren't you drinking?"
"It's nothing." Gou Liang answered vaguely. After drinking a mouthful of the hot soup, he suddenly said, "Yinchu, you looked at me like that just now …"
"Hmm?" Mo Yinchu didn't understand.
Gou Liang grinned and said with bright eyes, "I thought you were going to kiss me."
Mo Yinchu paused. He also didn't know what kind of expression he had right now, but his heart suddenly beat wildly. A certain emotion that he had ignored just now once again surged into his heart. It made him happy, but it also made him impatient. It gave birth to an indescribable impulse.
"Oh." Gou Liang's eyes curved and his dimples deepened as he said, "Just like right now."
This time, Mo Yinchu clearly felt his heart being touched. For a moment, he couldn't shift his gaze away from Gou Liang's proud and happy face.
[Ding! Target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 80!!!]
"Master, are you … asking for a kiss from me?"
Mo Yinchu's throat was a bit tight. As he said this, he had already leaned over and kissed Gou Liang's dimples before backing away.
"I didn't say that." The corners of Gou Liang's eyes were full of smiles. After drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, he handed the bowl to Mo Yinchu and said, "The taste is pretty good. You should try it too."
Mo Yinchu stood up to scoop the soup. After turning around, he sat down next to Gou Liang and watched him happily drink the soup as he said, "No need. Heart Restoring Soup is useless to me. You should drink more."
Gou Liang drank the soup in small mouthfuls. He wasn't in a hurry to get a third bowl. He looked up at Mo Yinchu and said, "You really don't want to try it? The taste … definitely won't disappoint you."
As he said this, he licked his lips. His face was full of unfulfilled desire and unknowingly seduction.
Mo Yinchu looked at his pink tongue that retracted back into his mouth and his moist red lips. He suddenly remembered how he "tasted" them last night. Without waiting for Gou Liang to urge him, he lowered his head to taste the delicious taste in Gou Liang's mouth.
Gou Liang didn't hesitate to respond to him. He couldn't help but laugh happily during the kiss. His eyes contained a smile of success. It was clear that he was deliberately seducing him. Seeing his happy appearance, Mo Yinchu wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, his heart surged.
The soul power that continued to increase in sweetness completely exposed the changes in his mood in front of Gou Liang. At a certain critical point, Mo Yinchu finally couldn't help but reach out and tighten his arms around Gou Liang's waist. His other hand cupped his face. His rough palm ran down Gou Liang's delicate skin and impatiently caressed his neck.
"Xiao Kener …"
Mo Yinchu's clear and calm eyes slowly became a bit blurred. He unconsciously murmured in a low voice and kissed him with an even more domineering depth.
Gou Liang's body trembled. His mind that was captured by the delicious soul power had a moment of clarity. This trace of clarity brought with it an even deeper desire.
It had clearly only been a few months, but he felt that he hadn't heard him call him that in a long time.
This world was very different from before. The favorability rose very slowly. Gou Liang was still familiar with Mo Yinchu's temperament and some of his subconscious micro-expressions. However, Mo Yinchu didn't treat him differently. It was as if he was no different from those insignificant people who had a favorability of 0 in his eyes. Even if he had a motive to get close to him, he had never let down his guard. This made Gou Liang feel frustrated.
However, the cultivators in the high-level world never slept. They were always alert. Especially someone like Mo Yinchu, who had lived for who knows how many years, would never relax. Gou Liang didn't have the chance and didn't dare to rashly use an item on Mo Yinchu's body. He couldn't confirm whether the 1% Main God's consciousness existed in Mo Yinchu's sea of consciousness.
Only when he heard Mo Yinchu call him did Gou Liang's heart finally feel at ease.
Mo Yinchu felt his emotions fluctuating. The way he kissed him back was lingering and gentle, but the strength he used to hug him seemed to be using all his strength. It was to the point that he felt pain.
Immediately, he felt that Gou Liang's body was strange. He hurriedly pulled himself out of the delirious state of mind.
"… Yinchu?"
Gou Liang's eyes were misty. He panted as he looked at Mo Yinchu. There was a hint of weakness in his intoxicated expression. His eyes were blatantly urging him to stay.
Mo Yinchu was extremely moved. He couldn't resist the temptation and lowered his head to kiss him again. Only then did he release him and say, "You're burning up. The medicinal soup is taking effect. Quickly refine it."
Gou Liang, "…"
He pursed his lips and reluctantly said, "Oh."
"Don't mess around. Hurry up."
Mo Yinchu saw that he was still leaning on him and didn't move. He patted him on the back and urged him to hurry. Gou Liang narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed. He hugged Mo Yinchu's neck tightly and wrapped his legs around his waist effortlessly. He said, "I think that the effect of meditation is better in this position."
After saying this, he didn't give Mo Yinchu any time to react. He closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy.
Mo Yinchu, "…"
He stood in place for a long time before he finally moved.
He put the unfinished medicinal soup into his spatial ring. He carried Gou Liang, who was clinging onto him like a sloth, to the side of the spirit spring pool. He carefully sat him down in the pool and used the spirit spring water to help him absorb the medicinal properties.
Gou Liang, who was in his arms, was extremely quiet at this moment. There was no dazzling smile on his face, nor was there any craftiness to tease him, nor was there any intoxication. However, Mo Yinchu couldn't help but look at him.
He was a little confused. He couldn't figure out how he and Gou Liang had developed such an intimate relationship.
Mo Yinchu didn't think much of the matter of them becoming dao companions. In the cultivation world, there were many cultivators who became dao companions for the sake of mutual benefits. It had nothing to do with love. Moreover, the Great Dao was emotionless. Cultivators didn't easily fall in love. Once they did, they would give birth to inner demons, which would only be beneficial to their path to immortality.
Mo Yinchu had never thought about falling in love with anyone, let alone such a simple-minded and temperamental little grand-disciple.
But after living for so long, he had never felt the urge to hold a person in his arms like he did at this moment.
He didn't know where this strong feeling of wanting to take Gou Liang for himself came from, but Mo Yinchu didn't think it was a bad feeling. At least, he was now holding the little thing that was meditating and still didn't forget to act coquettishly and hug him. His heart was abnormally full and stable.
He lowered his head and lightly touched Gou Liang's forehead with his lips. He sneered in his heart: … What's so rare about this little thing?
But he unconsciously tightened his hold on him.
[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 85!!]
Twelve hours later, Gou Liang opened his eyes.
The process of rebuilding his nascent soul was very smooth, but Gou Liang wasn't very happy. Instead, he muttered with some regret, "Early stage nascent soul …"
Mo Yinchu was just picking him up from the pool. He was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed, "No rush."
Gou Liang's face suddenly turned red. This guy actually heard what he was regretting.
"Why aren't you coming down? Does Master want to rely on me for the rest of your life?"
Mo Yinchu teased him and patted Gou Liang's butt.
Gou Liang was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He suddenly jumped down and said angrily, "Impudent, impudent. You're looking down on your master more and more."
"How would this disciple dare? Master, you've really wronged me."
As he said this, Mo Yinchu's expression was completely different.
After confirming his feelings for Gou Liang, Mo Yinchu also shed his gentle and humble disguise in front of others and acted as he pleased.
Gou Liang snorted and magnanimously didn't argue with him.
Mo Yinchu made a hand seal to dry the water stains on Gou Liang's clothes and asked him, "Does Master want to continue refining the spiritual soup?"
Gou Liang shook his head. "Drinking that soup won't have much effect. Let's go back to the arcane realm and take a look. The cave abode of an ancient almighty is really different. Maybe next time we'll be lucky and encounter something even better than the Starry Ocean Raiment … "
As he said this, Gou Liang's voice paused.
Mo Yinchu also heard the clanging sound of the sect token on Gou Liang's body. This was the Seven Swords disciple asking him for help.
The two of them looked at each other. Without further ado, the two of them stepped out of the Sumeru Mustard Seed and rode their flying swords towards the location where the message was sent.
From afar, Gou Liang saw his martial nephews who were surrounded by demon beasts by the shore of the lake. Before he could jump off the flying sword, he heard the System shout:
[Master, look! There's actually a tomb under the lake. It's full of dual cultivation techniques. It's not just one or two books, it's a room full of them! Aiya, these burial goods are too dirty. I'm embarrassed ~ ~]
Its tone was full of mysterious excitement.
Gou Liang: … Brother Endless, so you're like Mo Xiu. ⊙ Ω ⊙
