This was the mountain behind Bai Hua sect.

A spring of spirit water came from above the mountain, forming a small stream that flowed across the sects kitchen.

This is the fresh spring water that was naturally created from the spirit veins deep inside the mountain, the water cold to the touch, containing ample natural energy.

Only a sect of Bai Hua sects caliber was able to monopolize such a high-quality spirit vein.

Gu Qing Shan carried a bunch of pots over, currently washing them by the stream.

A few lines of glowing text appeared from the War God UI.

[Doomsday Chronicles: All kitchen utensils here do not contain any historical events]

[This is the final kitchen utensil that contains spirit cooking techniques, would you like to comprehend the cooking techniques on this utensil?]

[To comprehend the cooking technique, Soul Points required: 100]

Gu Qing Shan sighed and silently paid the 100 Soul Points.

When he came into the kitchen, he discovered that many of the utensils here contained a lot of Qin Xiao Lous cooking skills.

Gu Qing Shan himself cooked for a living, so his skills were also first-rate, because of it he was forced to cook for everyone when Qin Xiao Lou was still in seclusion.

He didnt expect to be able to learn Qin Xiao Lous skills in the process.

So he learnt all of them.

This gave him a new perspective of someone else with similar skills on his expertise, once again renewing his understanding of the art of Cooking.

Through this, Gu Qing Shan managed to compare both his own skills and Qin Xiao Lous, confirming, referring and improving them. Without knowing it, his cooking skills silently broke through a bottleneck and jumped to a new height.

Of course, Gu Qing Shan didnt feel any of this happening.

All he felt that he could grasp the taste of the dishes more accurately.

in the first place, the improvement of his cooking skills didnt call upon any Tribulation so it was hard to tell.

The sky was growing dimmer.

The time until dinner was quickly decreasing.

Gu Qing Shan put the metal pot down on the ground, pulled up his sleeves and began to seriously think about the menu.

Alright, everything is cleaned now, what should I make for dinner tonight?

Shifus seasoning preference is on the heavy side, but Xiuxiu cant eat anything too spicy, Qing Rou and Wan Er have lived through tough times before, but they originally came from the ruling class of their worlds, so their taste buds are quite hard to satisfy, one likes seafood and the other likes savoury foods- there really is no way to satisfy all of them at once

After thinking for a bit, Gu Qing Shan decided that there was no single solution, so he stopped thinking and just prepared several dishes each for everyone.

He lit a fire by the stream, put a metal plate over it and began to make grilled meat and fish.

Then he turned the oven on, placing several braising pots on the fire, each with its own prepared food: crystal shrimp dumplings, crispy chicken feet, glutinous rice sweet cakes, rice noodle with meat, minced meat and gravy-filled steamed buns, fried meat wrapped in lotus leaves, and crab cakes braised in eggs.

After he was done with that, he put another pot of spring water on to boil, added in some rare mushrooms to simmer, followed by an entire Snow-ginseng White Chicken that had been properly de-feathered; and then closed the pot, cooking it on low heat.

At this time, the grilled meat and fish on the metal plate were already mostly done cooking as the deep fragrance of meat filled the air, notifying Gu Qing Shan.

He then sprinkled in a handful of finely chopped tender Water Spirit Sky Pepper.

The tender spirit pepper was immediately cooked on the sizzling oil, extracting all of its mouth-watering heat and soaking them into the meat.

About 12 breaths later, this dish would be done.

There was still some time but the braised dishes werent done yet, so Gu Qing Shan silently waited to plate up the grilled meat and fish.

He was also thinking about what kind of stir-fry dish he could make.

Suddenly, he felt something amiss.

With a grab of his hand, Gu Qing Shan took out the Six Paths Great Mountain sword from the void of space and grunted: Who?

Silence.

Only the tiny sound of boiling and cooking came from the oven and pot.

There was no one else here.

Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes as his killing intent quickly rose.

I dont care who you are, if you dont step out, I wont be so polite anymore he emphasized.

Perhaps sensing his killing intent, a voice came.

Junior brother, dont attack, its me! Its Qin Xiao Lou!

Gu Qing Shan froze.

True, this was the mountain behind Bai Hua sect, a place surrounded by countless other mountains.

Unless they were a Lord-class Combatant like Chen Wang, who would be able to appear at this place without anyone knowing?

But then

Wasnt second brother currently in seclusion?

He looked around in surprise but saw nothing.

Hah, junior brother, Im here

Qin Xiao Lous voice came again.

Gu Qing Shan could only release his inner sight to follow the voice.

From the stream, a black turtle was crawling onto the shore.

The turtle spoke as he crawled: Your grilled meat is almost ready, take them down first

Gu Qing Shan took them down first.

But he didnt move his eyes from the black turtle.

-what is second brother doing?

The black turtle was wearing a small green chain armor as it slowly climbed towards Gu Qing Shans feet.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: Second brother, when did you learn a technique to turn into other creatures?

The black turtle opened its mouth: What? You think Im this black turtle? No, no, no, Im not the turtle

Then where are you?

In seclusion the black turtle proudly answered.

Then whats this?

Take a look at the chain armor the turtle is wearing, I attached a string of my Thaumaturgic power on it, allowing me to control this newly-dead turtle

So you can possess corpses? When did you learn that? Gu Qing Shan was truly surprised this time.

The black turtle shook its head, but still spoke proudly: A Thaumaturgy I learnt when I advanced to Rejuvenation realm its strange but it is quite useful

What are you doing at the back mountain?

Hah, staying in seclusion is too boring, so I came out to relax a bit the black turtle complained.

Gu Qing Shan then told him: You have had better spend a bit more effort in seclusion, if your cultivation is higher, itll at least be safer for you to go outside

The turtle scoffed: Last time during the consecutive world fusion, I already used up everything I accumulated. Otherwise, how could I advance to Rejuvenation realm so soon?

Then does Shifu know about you coming out like this? Gu Qing Shan asked.

The turtle pulled its head back: Dont tell Shifu, I was only going to come out for some fresh air, but then I smelled your cooking here

It praised: I really must say, third brother, your cooking skills have really improved, I could already smell it half-way down the mountain

Gu Qing Shan understood.

Not only did this guy not really want to go into seclusion, but he also frequently sneaked out for walks and now even wants to eat for free?

Gu Qing Shan sternly asked him: Senior brother, I remember there was food in the seclusion room, wasnt there?

Those fasting pills have no taste at all, they dont suit my well-trained palate, even if I have to starve I wont eat them

The turtle shook its head over and over, then spoke: Junior brother, you have to empathize with senior brother here, its such a pain to go into seclusion, please make your brother some food as well

What do you want to eat?

I want a big chunk of Chinese braised pork! And a bottle of chilled liquor as well!

Gu Qing Shan looked at how big the turtle corpse was and couldnt help but asked: Can you actually carry that?

This stream here is connected to where Im in seclusion, so I can come and go, itll just take two trips

Hah, fine then

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit of a headache, but he was still his senior brother, what else could he do?

He then cleaned the pot and proceeded to make a huge portion of Chinese braised pork.

A few moments later, a large bowl of steaming Chinese braised pork was put on the turtles shoulder as it slowly but steadily crawled into the stream and swam across.

As he observed the turtle, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt something.

He abruptly turned around.

The white goose was standing on the branch of a tree, coldly looking at the black turtle.

No one knew when exactly she got there.

Gu Qing Shan couldnt even tell from the start, only after she no longer tried to hide her displeased attitude did he slowly notice.

Which means, she heard everything we said just now?

Gu Qing Shan forced an awkward smile: First brother

The white goose nodded and slowly spoke: Originally, I only came here to check todays dinner, who knew Id find such a big harvest

-her anger felt like it almost solidified.

She didnt bother to conceal her presence.

Jungle birds were always the most sensitive to danger, so they quickly flew away in flocks.

Soon enough, even the fishes in the stream hurriedly swam away.

Half-way across the stream, the turtle also noticed something wasnt right.

It turned around to look.

First brother!

The turtle exclaimed in shock.

It didnt bother to be careful with the braised pork on its back anymore and hurriedly flapped all four of its stubby legs as it tried to swim away.

Running?

A cold voice came.

All of a sudden, the white goose disappeared.

A white figure dashed through the sky.

Immediately after that, the turtle was swept away by a huge force as it spun in the ground before landing right beneath Gu Qing Shans feet.

The white goose walked back to shore step by step, shaking off all the water on its body as it casually spoke: And here I thought you really were actually doing your best to cultivate, turns out you just turned into a turtle to mess around, having fun?

The turtle tried to smile flatteringly and sighed as it clasped its front legs to apologize: First brother, please forgive me this time, please dont tell Shifu!

So you still know to fear Shifu huh? the white goose coldly asked.

Of course I am! If you tell her, Im as good as dead the turtle continued to beg.

Remembering something, the turtle turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Junior brother Gu! Please help me convince first brother, dont let first brother tell Shifu

Gu Qing Shan

He looked at the turtle, then back at the white goose, feeling even more exhausted than when he had to face the 2 million demonized.
