Not far away, the disciples of Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect watched this scene with grim expressions. Wasn't it said that the students of Imperial Academy were a disorganized bunch, fighting among themselves? Why were they treating that pair of siblings so well?
Indeed, those spiritual herbs looked incredibly valuable, yet they handed them over without batting an eye. Who knows? Those two siblings were quite peculiar—one was eloquent and was referred to as a lucky star, while the other resembled a porcelain doll, endearing and charming. It was truly enviable!
Sigh, if only we had such junior brothers and sisters, we would spoil them too! Everyone gazed enviously at the people from Imperial Academy, wishing they could join them immediately.
As night fell, the camp of Imperial Academy was brightly lit, filled with laughter and joy. Chen Li snatched a piece of Demon Beast Meat from a senior brother and jokingly scolded, "Alright, alright, you all take a break. I've roasted enough meat at home before; let me handle this!"
With that, he skillfully set up a campfire, skewered the Demon Beast Meat on a metal stick, and placed it over the flames to roast. Under the heat of the charcoal fire, the meat sizzled, fat dripping down and releasing an enticing aroma.
Chen Li occasionally turned the skewers, sprinkling on secret seasonings he pulled from his storage bag. Soon enough, a sumptuous barbecue feast was ready. "Come on everyone, don’t be shy! Try my cooking!" Chen Li enthusiastically called out to everyone as he distributed the grilled meat to his mentors and senior brothers and sisters, bustling around like a spinning top but always wearing a bright smile.
The crackling campfire illuminated everyone's joyful faces. The students of Imperial Academy sat together, devouring meat and chatting merrily in a lively atmosphere.
In stark contrast were the disciples of Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect nearby, each with gloomy faces like frostbitten eggplants, devoid of spirit. They had thought that upon entering the secret realm, relying on the prestige of the Two Major Sects would allow them to easily suppress these ragtag students from Imperial Academy and seize most of the opportunities.
However, reality had dealt them a harsh blow. First, they were besieged by demon beasts and suffered heavy losses; had it not been for Chen Li finding the right path and leading them here to gain some opportunities, they might have faced total annihilation.
Yet after finally entering the valley, they could only watch helplessly as the students of Imperial Academy discovered various treasures one after another under Chen Li's guidance while they themselves found nothing.
What made them feel even more frustrated was that the students of Imperial Academy treated those precious Spiritual Herbs like gifts, presenting them to Chen Li and Shen Qingyue as if they were mere trinkets.
This was nothing short of blatant humiliation! They were being pushed too far!
The disciples of the Two Major Sects were filled with righteous indignation, eager to rush forward and engage in a fierce battle with the students of the Imperial Academy to seize all the spiritual herbs. Just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out beside them.
"Brothers and sisters, please calm down."
Everyone turned to see Chen Ming from the Holy Spirit Palace approaching with a smile, holding several exquisite jade vials in his hands.
"Chen Ming, what are you doing here?" a disciple from the Golden Sun Sect asked with an unfriendly tone.
Chen Ming smiled, unfazed, and walked directly in front of everyone. He opened the jade vials one by one, and a rich fragrance of medicine immediately wafted through the air.
"This place is dangerous. I have some extra pills to share with you all. I hope everyone can uncover the truth, help each other, and leave safely."
Chen Ming's words were sincere, devoid of any mockery, instead filled with genuine concern. The anger in the hearts of the Two Major Sects' disciples began to dissipate as they looked at the alluring pills before them.
They were not fools; they could see that Chen Ming was trying to make amends. After all, in this perilous secret realm, having one more friend meant one more source of strength. Moreover, the pills Chen Ming presented were not ordinary; each one was quite valuable and could provide them with a better chance of survival when faced with danger.
"How can we accept this?" A disciple from the Golden Sun Sect hesitated for a moment but ultimately could not resist the temptation of the pills and reached out to take one vial.
"Yes, Brother Chen Ming, you are too kind," disciples from Heaven's Gate also expressed their gratitude as they accepted the pills.
"Haha, we are all brothers and sisters in the sect; there’s no need for such formality. Just take them!" Chen Ming laughed heartily and pulled out several more vials from his storage bag to hand to other disciples.
As he spoke, he continued to distribute the pills while maintaining a warm smile on his face. As long as these people accepted his pills, they would never lower their heads against him afterward.
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen Ming." The disciples of the Two Major Sects no longer declined and gratefully accepted the pills, repeatedly expressing their thanks.
In the distance, Chen Li seemed to sense the scene unfolding and glanced over this way.
The disciples of Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect were chewing on the dry Demon Beast Meat, their attention half-heartedly following Chen Ming as he departed, their eyes occasionally darting toward this direction.
Especially Zhao Feng, the senior brother of Heaven's Gate, who stared at the skewer in his hand, oblivious to the pill that slipped from his grasp. His gaze was filled with longing.
The air around them was thick with the aroma of grilled meat, causing the cultivators from Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect, who had been gnawing on their dry Demon Beast Meat, to unconsciously pause their actions.
Gulp.
It was unclear who swallowed first, but the strange silence was broken as others followed suit, their eyes fixated on the roasted meat in Chen Li's hands, unblinking.
What kind of meat is that kid cooking? It smells so good!
Indeed, I’ve lived for decades and have never smelled meat this fragrant!
I can’t take it anymore; I feel like the meat in my hands has lost its flavor.
Listening to the murmurs around him, both Cloud Sword Elder and Blazing Sun Elder, who had been sitting with their eyes closed in meditation, couldn’t help but open their eyes and look eagerly in Chen Li’s direction.
Even those from Holy Spirit Palace, who were farther away, craned their necks to catch a glimpse of Chen Li, their eyes gleaming with envy as if they wanted to rush over and snatch the meat for themselves.
Senior sister, I’m so hungry! A female disciple from Holy Spirit Palace looked pitifully at her senior sister as her stomach audibly protested.
The senior sister could only respond helplessly: Just hang in there a little longer.
After handing out the skewers of grilled meat to his mentor Lin Xuan and his fellow disciples, Chen Li turned his attention to the people from the Two Major Sects, a sly smile spreading across his face.
Since Chen Ming could offer pills, he could certainly provide Demon Beast Meat!
With that thought in mind, he raised his voice cheerfully towards everyone from Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect: “Elders, brothers and sisters, if anyone wants to taste my cooking, feel free to come over! I guarantee it’ll be delicious!”
Chen Li smiled brightly at everyone, radiating confidence.
