Chapter 1127: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Liang, stop pretending, I know you're awake!

In the next instant, Xiao Liang opened his eyes.

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Liang slowly rose, bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan, and said, "Lord Lu, thank you for saving my life."

His awe and reverence for Lu Xuan were beyond words.

Back when he was in the lower realm, Lu Xuan had guided him to a brand-new All-Death Great Dao, bestowed upon him the Spirit Sword Wine Wanderer, and now saved his life again.

Such a great kindness, he truly didn't know how to repay it.

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Xiao Liang, would you like to become my disciple?"

As soon as he said that, Xiao Liang froze on the spot.

What?

Does he even qualify to be accepted as a disciple by Lord Lu?

This is a heaven-defying opportunity!

Mo Diaomao and Xiaoyaozi, among others, had their pupils contract slightly, equally taken by surprise.

Fang Yuan's beautiful eyes blinked, she looked at Xiao Liang with immense envy, thinking inwardly, "I hope one day Lord Lu will also be willing to take me as his disciple."

Mo Diaomao bumped Xiao Liang with his shoulder and said, "Xiao Liang, hurry up and agree! If you don't, I'll agree for you."

Li Liang also said softly, "If you don't agree, I will."

Jiang Rou smiled and said, "Me too."

A moment of silence.

Xiao Liang suppressed the shock in his heart, respectfully bowed to Lu Xuan, and then with a "plop" knelt down.

"Lord Lu, I am willing to become your disciple."

This was his dying wish!

I never expected it to actually come true!

Lu Xuan smiled, "Very good. From now on, you are my tenth disciple."

Xiao Liang silently counted in his mind, "Senior Sister Ji Fuyao, Second Senior Brother Ye Chen, … Ninth Senior Sister Yang Ling'er. And so on…"

"Lord Lu… uh, Master, where did the third senior brother or sister go?"

Lu Xuan laughed, "I'll tell you when the time comes."

At that moment, Tie Xiaoqing walked over holding steaming hot food, "Lord Lu, it's time to eat."

Lu Xuan said, "Alright. Let's eat first. I'll give you the initiation ceremony later."

"Okay, Master."

Xiao Liang felt somewhat excited.

Soon, everyone gathered around a manifested stone table.

Xiao Liang could hardly contain his excitement, he clenched his hands.

All of this is real!

He has truly become Lu Xuan's disciple!

Mo Diaomao let out a light snort, "Xiao Liang, what are you getting excited about? I'm not the slightest bit envious, hehe. After a while, Lord Lu will also take me as his disciple."

Lu Xuan: "……"

Everyone: "……"

A moment of silence.

Lu Xuan said, "Eat, eat."

Today we have spicy golden crow, fried spirit pork, pickled spirit fish…

Qi Chunjiang took a bite, began to savor it, his eyes deep, "It's been a long, long time since I've eaten."

They are already inedia practitioners, able to easily devour the flesh and blood of great demons, and have long abandoned such mundane food.

"But it's pretty tasty."

Qi Chunjiang commented.

Tie Xiaoqing took a bite of the pickled spirit fish, her little mouth puffing, she said, "Xiao Liang, as Lu Xuan's disciple, you must learn to cook."

As she spoke, she handed Xiao Liang an ancient jade slip, "Inside are the recipes Lord Lu gave me, plus some of my insights. The Way of Food is also a Dao; I now also possess great Dao power."

Tie Xiaoqing opened her fair jade hand, and a flow of Dao Resonance emanated.

Everyone was stunned.

It truly is the Great Dao of Food!

Mo Diaomao rubbed his nose and asked, "This, this… what's it good for?"

Tie Xiaoqing said proudly, "No matter what ingredient, whether spiritual herb or demon beast flesh, I can tell at a glance whether it's tasty or not!"

Mo Diaomao: "……"

Tie Xiaoqing then took out a short knife, its aura piercing the heavens, "Having slain many great demons, now I can tell at a glance how to butcher them."

Mo Diaomao couldn't help but spit out his rice.

Ah this…

He silently muttered, "Whether it's precise or not is the difference between a scalpel and a slaughterhouse!"

Lu Xuan's words were spoken again, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha…"

"What a butcher!"

Tie Xiaoqing put away the broken knife, unfazed, she giggled, "As long as I can cook something delicious for Lord Lu, what does it matter if I'm a butcher? Hehe."

She had long become Lu Xuan's little fan.

Cultivation? It doesn't matter!

Making Lord Lu eat something delicious is what matters most!

Qi Chunjiang smiled, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Tie Xiaoqing, saying, "These are some of my insights on the sword Dao; perhaps they'll be useful to you."

Tie Xiaoqing took the jade slip, "Thank you, General Qi."

Xiao Liang also took the ancient jade slip from Tie Xiaoqing's hand, probed it with his divine sense, and was immediately stunned.

The recipes inside are simply all-encompassing, even able to go into the pot.

What flies in the sky, what runs on the ground, what swims in the water!

After a moment, he raised the question, "Why aren't some great demons in the recipe list?"

Tie Xiaoqing chuckled, "The only reason something isn't in the recipe list is that it's not tasty."

Everyone laughed loudly.

Not long after.

Lu Xuan finished eating and leisurely lay on the Yan Chuang.

Qi Chunjiang asked, "Lord Lu, will you return to the Lower Realm or stay in Weiyang Heaven next?"

Lu Xuan said lightly, "I'll stay here for a few days."

Qi Chunjiang pondered for a moment and said, "This time the Guidian suffered another defeat on the Starry Sky Battlefield; they'll likely continue pressuring Azure Abyss Heaven. However, they may be wary of you in the Upper Realm."

"The Spirit Martial Emperor has already refined a large amount of World Tree Dao Patterns in Azure Abyss Heaven, with only a few left. When the time comes, there will likely be another great battle."

A hint of worry appeared on his face.

The Guidian had two grand ancestors slain in a short time; they might resort to desperate measures!

These pressures ultimately fell on the Spirit Martial Emperor's shoulders!

Lu Xuan appeared calm and unbothered, "No problem, I'll intervene when the time comes."

Qi Chunjiang looked toward the Yaotianyuan direction, "Yaotianyuan originally belonged to the World Tree Faction, but they've become disloyal. Since I last stormed into the Lizhu Xinghai and suppressed the Jiaolong Clan, I haven't set foot in Yaotianyuan again. Now they're stirring up trouble once more."

"This time, the Tengshe Clan, Tianma Clan, and Golden Crow Clan have sent many great demons to Azure Abyss Heaven to assist the Azure Abyss Emperor against the Spirit Martial Emperor."

Tie Xiaoqing drew a short blade, waved it, and said, "All these great demons will go into my pot."

Everyone smiled.

Xiao Liang asked, "Master, did Ah Li Senior Sister go to Yaotianyuan?"

Lu Xuan nodded, "Not bad, she's in the Fox Clan Star Sea."

Qi Chunjiang said, "The Fox Clan's Lingyuan Ancestor has always been loyal to Lord Lu and the Spirit Martial Emperor, but they've also been targeted by the Golden Crow Clan, especially the Tengshe Clan!"

"The Tengshe Clan is lustful; they often abduct the Fox Clan's beautiful women. Once matters in Azure Abyss Heaven are settled, we need to unify Yunlan Heaven and Yaoyuan Heaven, and must not let them fall into the hands of the Guidian and Guyuan Heaven."

Lu Xuan said, "Not bad."

After a moment.

A system voice sounded in Lu Xuan's ear, "Congratulations on completing the task of accepting Xiao Liang as your tenth disciple! Rewards are being issued!"
