The gaze of the two seemed as if they wanted to see through Zhong Qing. Sensing this kind of gaze, Zhong Qing felt a bit uncomfortable, but still smiled sweetly and said, "Are there guests? Hello to both of you."
"Hello, hello."
Even though Zhong Qing didn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary, he was still a senior disciple whom they couldn't afford to neglect. Recognizing his status, the two individuals promptly stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Please, you may sit first. I'll go assist Master with a task," Zhong Qing said with a nod before making his way toward the back hall.
After Zhong Qing left, the two of them exchanged a look.
"Master, have you noticed anything about this young man? Why can't I see anything?" Luo Lan Xue asked Qing Shan Lao Zu.
Qing Shan Lao Zu furrowed his brows and said, "I'm sorry, but even as a master, I couldn't see anything special about this young man. Not only is there nothing outstanding about him, but I can see that his meridians are blocked and he has no talent at all!"
"Then why did that senior accept someone like him as his disciple?" Luo Lan Xue asked, "Shh!" Qing Shan Lao Zu glared at her, "You can't be so impolite."
"Sorry, Master." Luo Lan Xue quickly shut her mouth, realizing she had said the wrong thing. "Please enlighten me, Master."
"How can I enlighten you?" Qing Shan Lao Zu shook his head and said, "But what I can be sure of is that there must be something about this young man that we can't see through. After all, such seniors wouldn't accept ordinary disciples. We can only blame our limited vision..."
"You two have been waiting for a long time." At this moment, Yi Feng walked out with an apologetic smile. "I may have to trouble you to wait here for a while. I'll go cook for you first."
After he finished speaking, Yi Feng walked out of the martial arts hall and bought some home-style dishes from a nearby food stall before heading into the kitchen.
"Disciple, sitting here doing nothing won't solve anything. We can't let the senior work alone. Let's go help him." After sitting for a while, Qing Shan Lao Zu stood up and said.
Luo Lan Xue nodded and followed Qing Shan Lao Zu into the kitchen.
After the front hall was a small courtyard, filled with flowers and plants, as well as a few wooden dummies. It was peaceful, with the sound of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers.
"So comfortable!"
Standing in the courtyard, Qing Shan Master's eyes were filled with emotion as he surveyed his surroundings. "My disciple, behind the mountain of Qing Shan Sect, there lies a place that many consider being a holy land, shrouded in immortal mist. However, compared to the place we currently stand in, it seems to lack a certain grandeur."
After the emotional outburst, the two walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen was not big or small, but it was clean. As they walked in, they saw Yi Feng squatting on a small stool picking green beans.
"My disciple, we need to learn from our senior's mindset," Qing Shan master continued to sigh, "If we could have even a tenth of his hands-on approach in everything, I'm afraid our cultivation would not encounter so many bottlenecks."
Luo Lan Xue nodded her head, feeling the words and looking at Yi Feng's low-profile appearance, she seemed to have comprehended something at this moment, and her state of mind couldn't help but improve a bit.
"Master Yi, let us help you!" said Qing Shan, the old Daoist.
"How could I let you do that?" Yi Feng smiled and looked up.
"There's nothing to feel embarrassed about," Qing Shan quickly waved to Luo Lanxue.
Upon seeing this, Luo Lanxue promptly picked up the chilies from the counter and washed them in the nearby flowing water. Observing her actions, Qing Shan laozu was at a loss as to what to do. As the master of the great Qing Shan sect, he had never cooked before, but he couldn't just stand there idly. After some consideration, he finally found a solution. "Senior, allow me to assist you with chopping the vegetables," he offered.
"That's a good idea," Yi Feng was not a restrictive person, and he enjoyed this feeling even more. So he smiled and said, "The kitchen knife is by the cupboard, please help yourself."
"Okay."
Qing Shan laozu smiled and walked towards the cupboard to find the kitchen knife. Suddenly, he paused.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, He trembled all over, his mouth inhaling a cold breath of air. His gaze was fixed on the kitchen knife that was placed beside the cupboard.
The kitchen knife seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could see a flicker of light that seemed to contain immense power. If one stared at it for too long, they might even lose their mind.
What was most terrifying was that the flicker of light in the kitchen knife contained a trace of Heavenly Dao power. Although he hadn't been able to detect it before, it was only after he advanced to the rank of Martial King that he became barely qualified to sense a hint of it.
If an item possessed Heavenly Dao power, what level of quality would it hold?
Would it be considered a rare item?
Perhaps a divine artifact?
Or could it even ascend to the level of a legendary emperor item?
Qing Shan laozu couldn't imagine it, feeling like he was going crazy.
What surprised him, even more, was that such a high-quality item was just a kitchen knife in Yi Feng's kitchen.
"Please use that knife right in front of you," Yi Feng said, looking at Qing Shan, who appeared dazed and unsure which knife to use.
After a moment, Qing Shan nodded in agreement and picked up the kitchen knife. Though it appeared ordinary, the weight of the knife felt immense in his hand.
As he held the knife, Qing Shan laozu, who had recently advanced to the rank of Martial King, felt as if he could even hold his ground against a high-ranking Martial Emperor for a few rounds.
