Qilin pulled the sheep into Taiqing Palace. Seeing the sheep Qilin was holding, Taishang exclaimed in surprise:
"A sheep? This thing has run out? Chen'er, where did you find this thing?"
Qilin scratched his head and said:
"My master gave it to me. He told me to give it to you, my eldest martial uncle!"
Yuanshi, seeing Taishang's discomposure, looked at the sheep in Qilin's hands with confusion and asked:
"Big brother! What is this thing? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Qilin also chimed in:
"Yes! Eldest martial uncle, do you know this thing? It's been 'baaing' non-stop all the way, it's so annoying!"
After Qilin finished speaking, the sheep started bleating again!
"Baa!"
"Baa!"
"Baa!"
Taishang said:
"This 'sheep' has very delicious meat!"
Qilin patted the sheep's head and said: Su Dan Novel Network
"Here! Martial Uncle, look!"
Sheep: ???
Taishang said:
"This is a good thing!"
Then he took the sheep from Qilin's hands and said:
"We're in for a treat tonight!"
Taishang then carried the sheep out of Taiqing Palace, intending to prepare it!
Qilin, having delivered the item, planned to return to report to Tongtian. He said:
"Second martial uncle, this disciple takes his leave!"
Yuanshi nodded and said:
"Go ahead!"
After Qilin left Taiqing Palace, he immediately retraced his steps. Tongtian saw Qilin and asked:
"How was it? Did you give it to my eldest martial uncle? How did he react?"
Qilin heard Tongtian's barrage of questions and felt as if he had been tricked by Tongtian. However, he still replied:
"Eldest martial uncle was very pleased!"
Tongtian then relaxed and said:
"Alright, you're dismissed. Go do what you need to do!"
Then Tongtian headed towards Taiqing Palace!
Upon arriving at Taiqing Palace, Tongtian only saw Yuanshi, and not Taishang. He asked:
"Second brother! Where is Big brother?"
Yuanshi looked at Tongtian and said:
"Didn't you go to find ingredients? Why did you have Chen'er deliver it?"
Tongtian chuckled and said:
"Oh! I had something else to do after I came back, so I had Chen'er deliver it. It's only natural for a disciple to serve their master when they have something to do, isn't it!"
Yuanshi found Tongtian's words strange, but they made sense, so he didn't dwell on it. He said:
"Big brother went to prepare the ingredients you brought back!"
Before Yuanshi could finish speaking, Taishang returned with the prepared lamb. Taishang saw Tongtian and asked:
"Third brother, where did you find this thing?"
Tongtian scratched his head and said:
"I found it in our Kunlun. I was just wandering around nearby after I went out, and it just ran up to me!"
Taishang nodded upon hearing this and thought to himself:
"If this beast has appeared, then perhaps the human race is not far behind!"
Just then, Jinjiao and Yinjiao also entered the hall and bowed to Taishang:
"Master, we have prepared what you requested!"
Taishang snapped back to attention. Seeing them holding ground pepper powder and chili powder, Taishang took the items from them and handed the lamb to them, saying:
"Cut this meat into small diced pieces for me to use."
After speaking, Taishang went to find some wood on Taiqing Peak to make charcoal! He also carved many wooden skewers.
When Taishang returned, Jinjiao and Yinjiao had already prepared the lamb. Seeing that it was getting late, Taishang directly set up a space in front of Taiqing Palace! Taishang planned to let everyone taste the joy of skewers tonight in the open space in front of the Taiqing Palace gate!
After Taishang had set up the venue, he ordered Jinjiao to invite everyone, and instructed Yinjiao to pick some fresh spirit fruits!
Tongtian saw that Taishang had ordered Jinjiao to summon people without preparing anything, and said to Yuanshi:
"Second brother, what do you think Big brother is doing? Is he going to eat those dark things at his feet?"
Yuanshi glared at Tongtian and said:
"If you want to eat them, I don't think Big brother will stop you!"
Tongtian awkwardly scratched his head and said with a forced smile:
"I was just joking!"
After Jinjiao and Yinjiao left, Taishang took out some charcoal, lit it, and began to roast the lamb skewers over the fire!
Tongtian watched as Taishang continuously sprinkled the two packets of powder onto the skewers. Under the heat of the charcoal, the skewers sizzled and released oil, which dripped onto the charcoal and turned into wisps of smoke. Tongtian smelled the roasting meat in the air, and his mouth involuntarily watered.
Yuanshi saw Tongtian drooling almost to the ground and moved away from him with disgust, finding a new spot to sit.
Taishang tried one skewer himself and found the taste quite good. Although there were fewer seasonings, the sheep, despite being a wild beast, had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making its meat exceptionally tender.
Seeing Tongtian's eagerness, Taishang gave him a skewer and said with a smile:
"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so have this one to whet your appetite! We'll start eating when everyone is here!"
Tongtian could no longer wait and, as soon as the lamb skewer was in his hand, he devoured it in one bite!
Yuanshi looked at Tongtian's eating style and his face openly showed disgust.
At the foot of Taiqing Peak, Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi, Jinjiao, Qilin, and Duobao were on their way up the mountain. Qilin's mouth watered at the smell of roasted meat filling the mountain, and he asked:
"Jinjiao, what did Eldest martial uncle prepare? Why does it smell even better than the hot pot last time!"
Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi's hearts stirred upon hearing Qilin's words:
"Hot pot? What kind of spirit fruit is that?"
In the eyes of Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, only spirit fruits were edible. The two, smelling the aroma filling the mountain, were also extremely tempted. They were eager to reach Taiqing Palace quickly but were afraid of losing face in front of these juniors!
Duobao also asked:
"Yes! It smells so good!"
Jinjiao scratched his head upon hearing this and said:
"I don't know. Master hadn't even started when I left!"
Qilin's face filled with anticipation, and he urged:
"Let's hurry! I can't stand it anymore!"
After speaking, Qilin flew towards Taiqing Palace!
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that these young people were still too impatient!
When the five arrived at Taiqing Palace, they saw Taishang, Tongtian, and others sitting on the open ground in front of the Taiqing Palace gate. In front of Taishang was a pile of charcoal, and he was holding skewers of meat, turning them over the coals!
The aroma filling the mountain emanated from Taishang's hands.
Taishang saw them arrive and said:
"You're here! Sit for a while, we'll wait for Fusang and Yugui."
As soon as Taishang finished speaking, Fusang and Yugui appeared in everyone's sight.
Tongtian saw that everyone had arrived and eagerly said:
"Everyone's here! Let's start!"
Taishang chuckled and said:
"You... ah, you! Hahaha!"
