Chapter 273 Spirit Realm
The heavy atmosphere continued until the ingredients were processed.

Qinghuan was not affected at all. She moved the ingredients into the kitchen with great interest, intending to cook them properly.

Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er went into the house and sat down.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan said, "Xun'er, I know you are thinking about me. The reason you said this is to get Qing Huan to take action... But don't do this next time."

Gu Xun'er said aggrievedly: "I understand, Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan smiled and touched her cheek, saying: "Qing Huan is a man of top-notch intelligence and methods, but the reason why I get along with him and my teacher is not because of these."

Gu Xun'er asked doubtfully, "Why is that?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Because he is sincere! Qing Huan is a very sincere person. He says whatever he wants and never hides anything... Can you believe it? Not long after I met him for the first time, I showed him my cultivation method and got a profound analysis from him.

The teacher was even more candid and honest with him, and together we created a pill recipe for me.

A few days ago, I asked him to teach me how to practice fighting skills!"

Gu Xun'er was surprised and asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, do you trust him so much?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "When you are honest with him, he will be honest with you in return... He is trustworthy. Both I and the teacher think so!"

Gu Xun'er thought about it and said dejectedly: "Well, I shouldn't have these little thoughts... Then why doesn't he help you deal with the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Because he knows that this is my business, and it is something I must solve personally!
If he helps me solve it this time, what about next time? And the next time? I need to grow up on my own and not always rely on him. "

Gu Xun'er reached out and grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, saying, "Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er was wrong."

Xiao Yan held her hand and said, "I understand. You did this all for me."

Gu Xun'er smiled contentedly and said, "What should we do this time?"

Xiao Yan said coldly: "The war between the four empires will not end in a short time. I want to take this opportunity to improve my cultivation as soon as possible...

Don't worry, I already have a direction."

Gu Xun'er looked at him carefully and said, "I believe in Brother Xiao Yan."

The two of them stayed together for a while.

Not long after, Gu Xun'er sniffed and looked surprised. She found that Xiao Yan had the same expression. They both said in unison: "What a nice smell!"

This fragrance is so refreshing that it makes people drool and their appetite grow.

As the aroma became stronger and stronger, the two of them lost interest in talking and kept glancing towards the kitchen from time to time.

Finally, Qing Huan carried the tray and impatiently came out of the kitchen, saying excitedly, "Get out of the way and clear the table!"

Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan quickly tidied up the table.

A plate of crystal clear sliced ​​dragon liver, golden phoenix marrow flowing through the cut bones, elephant trunks blooming like flowers stewed in a casserole, and roasted orangutan lips that were shiny and misty.

"Gudong!"

Two sounds of swallowing saliva were heard at the same time.

Gu Xun'er blushed slightly and looked away.

Qing Huan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, stretched them out, and said, "Let me taste it first..."

He suddenly froze in the middle of his speech, and the chopsticks he had extended also stopped in mid-air, unable to move.

Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan looked at each other, confused as to what was going on.

"Hmph!" Qinghuan suddenly snorted violently, and terrifying black flames burst out from his whole body. The terrifying soul power burst out, breaking the shackles in an instant.

Under the suppression of powerful soul force, Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan felt drowsy as if they were drunk.

Fortunately, it only lasted a short time and everything returned to normal.

The two were about to ask Qing Huan, but when they looked over, they were stunned.

Opposite Qinghuan, on the originally empty seat, there appeared an old man with white hair and beard, also holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, which touched Qinghuan's chopsticks.

The two men faced each other with extremely serious expressions.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, looked at Gu Xun'er, and quickly saluted and said, "Dean."

Mang Tianchi didn't even look at them, staring at Qing Huan and said, "You ate delicious food secretly without calling me?"

Qing Huan argued, "You've already eaten these things, but this is my first time trying them. Maybe there's room for improvement?"

Mang Tianchi snorted, "When I ate these things, I didn't have any strange fire to cook them... or two kinds of strange fire!"

Qing Huan said, "It's actually three kinds of strange fire. I also used the Netherworld Poison Fire... You are old and can't digest it, not to mention it is poisonous. Let me try it first and make some improvements." Mang Tian Chi sneered, "I am a half-saint, how can I be afraid of poison? Don't make excuses, you just want to eat alone!"

Qing Huan said: "There are three of us here, so we are not eating alone."

Mang Tianchi said disdainfully: "They know nothing about eating. They didn't call me, so you are eating alone!"

Qing Huan said, "I thought you were busy."

Mang Tianchi said: "No matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as eating!"

"..."

The two argued endlessly, leaving Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er dumbfounded.

After a while, Gu Xun'er said, "How about... let's eat together?"

Mang Tianchi smiled and said, "The ingredients were brought back by Gu Yatou, right? You are the host today, and since you asked, I will not be polite."

Qing Huan was helpless and said, "But I took care of these."

Mang Tianchi snorted, "Then you are just a cook. Which host would let a cook invite guests?"

Gu Xun'er quickly pulled Xiao Yan to sit down and persuaded him, "Let's eat together, let's eat together."

Qinghuan was helpless.

Mang Tianchi had already picked up a piece of dragon liver and stuffed it into his mouth, his face full of intoxication as he said, "Use the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to chill it, and simmer it in the ice... How did you come up with this idea, kid?"

Qinghuan didn't bother to answer. He scooped a spoonful of phoenix marrow and looked very enjoyable.

Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er looked at each other. Although it smelled good, was it really that delicious?

They each picked up a piece and put it in their mouths, and suddenly they shuddered all over...

……

There were few ingredients, and four people shared it, so they just tasted it, but the taste made them intoxicated.

Gu Xun'er couldn't help but said, "Qinghuan, I'll send someone to get some more, and you can take care of it when the time comes, right?"

Qing Huan glanced at her and said, "I'm not a cook."

Mang Tianchi also shook his head and said, "Girl Gu, don't be unconvinced when I say you don't know how to eat. For real delicacy, one bite is enough. If you eat too much, it's not tasting, it's eating."

Xiao Yan also sighed: "I never thought that food could be this delicious... Huh?"

Xiao Yan suddenly showed a strange expression, and his face looked very weird.

Gu Xun'er asked worriedly, "Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Mang Tianchi and Qinghuan looked at each other and both laughed.

Qing Huan smiled and said, "It's okay, his soul just broke through the spiritual realm... a delicious meal aroused the spirituality in his soul. Xiao Yan, you are also a hidden foodie!"

Mang Tianchi patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and praised: "Good boy, you have a bright future, you are worthy of being a member of my Canaan Academy!"

Gu Xun'er opened her little mouth wide, looking surprised.

Xiao Yan nodded with a helpless look. His soul had truly broken through, but... why?
How many people’s souls are trapped in the mortal realm, unable to break through throughout their lives, but he broke through after eating a delicious meal?

Qing Huan looked at his bewildered face and said with a smile: "When one truly pursues delicious food, what one is pursuing is not the superficial desire of the mouth, but the pleasure that goes deep into the soul, which can naturally arouse the spirituality of the soul..."

After a pause, Qing Huan continued, "By the way, Old Man Mang and I are going to an underground space in a while, so you can come with us then."

Mang Tianchi looked at Xiao Yan and did not refuse.

Xiao Yan looked puzzled.

Qing Huan said calmly: "That's where Old Man Mang found the Fallen Heart Flame."

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Gu Xun'er wanted to speak, but Qing Huan snorted and said, "Don't speak, I won't take you with me!"

Gu Xun'er: "..."

Did Brother Xiao Yan get cheated? How could such a stingy person be sincere?
Seeing Gu Xun'er's frustrated look, Xiao Yan immediately held her hand and comforted her, feeling both amused and helpless.

Gu Xun'er snorted, "I don't even want to go!"
