But not with Xiu Jimei who was already holding chopsticks and spoons. A bowl of rice was prepared by the owner of the house.
Since there were no inns around the village near the foot of the mountain range, they ended up only being able to rent a sufficient place to rest tonight.
For sleep problems, they will make a small campfire and sleep around it.
"It's delicious!"
Xiu Jimei had eaten first. He took some spicy food and tasted it one by one without any pungency or heat.
"Eat a lot" said Ming Zise. There was a mysterious smile.
This made Xiu Jikai who was beside his twin brother squint. It seems that the escort teacher this time has a motive towards her twin sister.
There was a whole roasted chicken that looked full of savory seasoning in its layers of skin. Fried shrimp spicy sauce, sauteed vegetables, chicken and mushroom soup, processed fish and some foods that are rare in the country.
Everything looks tempting. Xiu Jikai and the others also started eating with peace of mind.
Ming Zise rarely ate while in Minglan Palace. The stronger a person is in cultivating, the less food intake enters the body. The spiritual energy had made him full and did not need to sleep.
But in the Sky World, cultivators sometimes had to sleep to rest their bodies and reduce excessive fatigue.
As usual, Xiu Jimei ate more until the dishes piled up next to him. Xuan Xing, Xiu Jikai and Jia Lishan ate more quietly. Wang Xuyue and Kin Wenqian themselves were not too fast or slow but were definitely enjoying the food very much.
As for Yan Yujie who was now enjoying the spicy and savory fish soup, he suddenly coughed and drank a glass of water. His throat was suddenly uncomfortable.
"ah! Nah! Helpme! Hey, you guys help me!" Yan Yujie coughed a few while touching her neck.
"Cousin brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiu Jimei who was holding the grilled fish whole did not seem to be affected at all.
"Fish, fish spines .. fish spines stuck in my throat. Oh, it hurts!" Yan Yujie immediately had a red face as it endured the pain in her throat.
As usual, Xuan Xing who was not far away from him immediately rounded up a mouthful of rice and asked the man to swallow it.
Yan Yujie swallowed the rice with great difficulty. Before long, he breathed. The fish thorn stuck in his throat had come down, he was again saved by the iceberg girl.
"Xiao Xing, from now on I am your adore," the man said with a rare smile expression.
Xuan Xing felt disgusted by her. "Don't you be too ugly! After all it was just a fish thorn. You can't even handle it. Look at Jimei, he can even eat fish meat without swallowing his duri," he explained with a feeling of reluctance.
The abnormal girl could always do anything as if this world was not the place to be.
"..."
Yan Yujie looked towards Xiu Jimei who was now just finishing up a whole grilled fish. Only the head and spines of the fish remained intact on the plate. This ... Isn't it too much?
From the very beginning, Ming Zise had only observed them while eating the soup calmly. He glanced at Yan Yujie at a glance. The light in his eyes slightly showed interest until the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
Descendants of the ghost race who cultivated and became human, Yan Yujie's father was indeed the first one on this land. Unfortunately, bad luck always accompanies wherever he goes because ....
Ming Zise frowned. It seems that this god of misfortune really likes to play with his targets?
However with the friends around Yan Yujie, such misfortune would only be a small matter. Plus the existence of Xiu Jimei and Xiu Jikai as the darling of heaven and earth, Yan Yujie's misfortune would gradually become absolute fortune in the future.
They sat by the campfire talking about the next exam. Ming Zise did not sit too far away. He had his own chair prepared by Wuming.
Ming Zise explained the exam tomorrow. They are still in this countryside but the location moved slightly into the waters.
"the river? The lake?" Others guess.
"It's a lake" said Ming Zise. "The test this time is to catch as many fish as possible in the lake at the foot of the mountains. Do not underestimate this test. Fish in the lake is not easy to catch."
"What fish is that?" Xiu Jikai frowned.
But Xiu Jimei who was beside her brother seemed to be thinking seriously. "Maybe an ancient spirit fish, a spirit koi fish, a spirit electric eel or something?"
"Don't joke! Can the fish live in the murky lake water?" Jia Lishan was a little incredulous.
But none of them could guess. Ming Zise only smiled mysteriously. Let them see it tomorrow with their own eyes.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next morning after breakfast, all of his disciples and accompanying teachers went to the large lake not far from the foothills of the rural mountain. Although their bodies were still tired and a little sick from working in the fields yesterday, the test this time could not be delayed.
So inevitably, they swallowed the healing pill.
When they arrived at the lake, they were all shocked. The lake was hidden among a fence of vines. It doesn't seem broad when viewed from the outside. But when entering it, they were surprised by the vastness of the lake surrounded by dense forest.
There were some blue horned spirit deer whose horns were only nearly a meter high. The spirit deer exceeded the height of humans, having a distinctive complexion yet not an ancient spirit beast.
When many cultivators came, the herd of deer fled into the forest.
"What the fuck? Is there really a lake in a remote place like this?" The other cultivators seemed surprised.
Others have many opinions as well. Who knows in this seemingly small Upper land turns out to have many secrets.
There are many colorful birds flying freely. It's like a beautiful lake of heaven.
Finally, one of the escort teachers explained about the place.
This spiritual lake was in a special array environment. On the outside, it seemed to look small but upon entering the vines fence, its breadth was many times that of the original.
Xiu Jimei's group did not react much, but won admiring him.
"Who would have thought there would be a place like this in a rural area of our country" Xiu Jikai said flatly.
"It seems like this has long been prepared by the Upper Sect!" Xiu Jimei sneered. For the sake of the exam going smoothly, the elders in the Upper Sect put in a lot of effort.
The examinees are given direction by their respective accompanying teachers. Including Ming Zise. To catch fish this time, there is only one way, which is to use only a makeshift fishing rod.
Fishing tools are provided specifically by the exam committee so that there is no cheating whatsoever. They don't protest much. Naturally immediately get the fishing rod and bait.
"That's all? Then what about this bait? Doesn't seem anything special?" jia Lishan asked confusedly.
