Drinking

Li Shiyin still could not resist eating without doing any work. Under Qin Ran's lustful threats, she picked up a kitchen knife and not only cut potatoes, but also cut beef.

Moreover, with her mastery over swords as a first-class sword immortal, the dishes she cut turned out quite good.

Qin Ran was very satisfied and laughed, "Very good, from now on leave all vegetable cutting chores to you."

"Ah?" Only now did Li Shiyin realize what foolish thing she had done.

As Chasing the Wind grew bigger and bigger, he could no longer eat properly at the table. Mainly because he ate several times more than everyone else combined.

So regarding the delicious food Qin Ran cooked, he could only eat the leftovers, the food that was not finished at normal meals, it was all his.

Now he mostly ate the beast pills that Qin Ran specially refined for him. The beast pills contained the nutrients he needed to grow and the spiritual energy he needed for cultivation.

In the afternoon, when the sun slanted over, in the shade under the old catalpa tree, the four people sitting around the table drinking and eating appeared lively. Only a tiger lay drooling under the catalpa tree.

It was truly heartbreaking for spectators and hurtful for onlookers!

Long Qiqi deliberately teased him by carrying a large bowl of meat and running over to Chasing the Wind, deliberately sitting cross-legged in front of his big head, alternating between eating meat and bones.

"Oh my! So fragrant!" While eating, she also laughed and said.

"Humph!" The big cat turned his head away, refusing to look at the villain, and said, "I don't like eating meat anyway!"

"Do you want a piece?"

The big cat's eyes suddenly widened, but he still snorted, "I don't want it!"

"Really don't want it?"

"Don't want it!"

Long Qiqi then pointed at his mouth and laughed out loud, "Chasing the Wind look at your drool!"

Chasing the Wind lifted his big head to look down, only to find that he had unknowingly drooled a large area of ​​the grassland, with quite a patch of wet grass.

...Who knows if the grass that received the great demon king's drool would mutate into demonic beasts; and who knows what they should be called if they really turned into demonic beasts, Tiger Spit Grass? Or Profound Underworld Spirit Grass?

With a furry face, it was unclear whether Chasing the Wind was blushing, but his eyes were clearly a little panicked. He turned his head away, not daring to look at Long Qiqi, and was at a loss for words.

"It would be better if you transformed sooner!" Long Qiqi took the opportunity to persuade, "Then you can freely eat human food. And you can play around better."

"If your cultivation is not enough... you can ask your dad to help you refine a transformation pill..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone picked her up. She looked back and saw it was Qin Ran.

Qin Ran said helplessly, "Transformed, then ended up short like you? With distortions in meridians and acupoints, not only being short, but also having extremely poor aptitude for cultivation."

"Speak properly, we are still friends." Long Qiqi's face sank.

"The most suitable body for every creature is always its original body..." Qin Ran said, "Chasing the Wind's own body is good, why should he damage his cultivation to become a human?"

"Humph!" Long Qiqi stood up straight, hugging her bowl and returned to the dining table.

Qin Ran looked at Chasing the Wind and warned, "Never listen to her, you are not allowed to transform."

"I listen to Dad!" Chasing the Wind was just short of wagging his tail like a dog.

"Good boy!" Qin Ran patted his big head and laughed, "Go get your food bowl."

"Yes, Dad!!" Chasing the Wind immediately regained his spirit, rushed into the house with a swoosh.

Qin Ran returned to the table, and Dong Zhongyuan laughed and asked Qin Ran, "Chasing the Wind is a Profound Underworld Spirit Tiger. Even if he transforms, his physical strength and aptitude will not be worse. You have a proper son, why don't you let him transform?"

"The human body is born of nature, while the transformed monster body is man-made. Naturally grown flesh conforms to the Dao, while man-made ones have defects." Qin Ran replied.

"Isn't he a spirit pet?" Dong Zhongyuan asked.

"No."

Dong Zhongyuan nodded, only then realizing Chasing the Wind's position at Dan Peak.

Everything about a spirit pet is to serve its master; while for Chasing the Wind, Qin Ran planned his own growth path, similar to Li Shiyin.

No wonder this was Dan Peak.

Dong Zhongyuan drank again and asked Li Shiyin, "Junior sister, why haven't you formed a core yet?"

"Why does senior brother see realm as so important?" Li Shiyin asked back.

She lamented inwardly, thinking Dong Zhongyuan had extraordinary talents, but he was not what she had imagined, just another vulgar person.

Dong Zhongyuan was startled, carefully looking at Li Shiyin, and was shocked to find Li Shiyin's realm was no longer on the same level as him.

"When I was at the early Foundation Establishment stage, I could fight early Golden Core cultivators; now at late Foundation Establishment stage, I can contend against late Golden Core geniuses. I'm still at late Foundation Establishment stage, but dare I ask senior brother, can you take one sword strike from me?" Li Shiyin spoke lightly.

Dong Zhongyuan's fingertips twitched, still unwilling to admit defeat, "Please let junior sister strike."

"Please drink, senior brother." Li Shiyin picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Dong Zhongyuan.

Dong Zhongyuan lowered his head to look at the wine in the cup, the clear wine swirled in the cup like ordinary wine, but he knew this was no ordinary wine. This full cup was all sword qi!

He was shocked: Just what level of sword cultivation was this?!

It was not easy to turn sword qi into wine; moreover, to make such sharp sword qi not damage the cup... this was an ordinary cup.

Dong Zhongyuan did not dare drink this cup.

"Junior sister's sword qi cultivation has reached the transformation stage." He sincerely conceded.

"Still quite far from senior brother Lu Junxing." Li Shiyin changed the wine and poured another cup for Dong Zhongyuan.

Inwardly she lamented that Dong Zhongyuan was still shackled and could not understand the importance of realm.

"Senior brother Lu..." Dong Zhongyuan hesitated, asking Li Shiyin, "How far away?"

"So far that his back is barely visible..." Li Shiyin spoke humbly, yet arrogantly, "I can now barely see his back."

Only now did Dong Zhongyuan realize how profound Lu Junxing was. He silently drank a sip, still feeling bitter.

He thought himself a genius. After desperately chasing for three years, he cultivated diligently, yet he was still so far from Lu Junxing.

And now there was also the meteoric rise of Li Shiyin...

Despite the good wine and food, Dong Zhongyuan was not in the mood, completely ruining the meal.

After eating, Qin Ran invited him to play cards, but he shook his head, "I've only cultivated these three years, not even paying attention to the Geniuses Ranking. Now that the knock on the path is over, I have to go into seclusion and rearrange."

Qin Ran's heart stirred and he asked, "Is it time for a big shuffle?"

"Yes!" Dong Zhongyuan nodded.

After Dong Zhongyuan left, Li Shiyin curiously asked Qin Ran, "Master, you have always disdained fame, why do you care about the geniuses ranking?"

"You already know that the Geniuses Ranking is an artifact... and this artifact needs one genius from each generation to manage it, so you know it's extraordinary. The geniuses ranking of Dao Sword Sect is actually related to the real interests of each genius." Qin Ran said.
