Chapter 194: Touring Nightmoon Valley
After savoring his food for several minutes, Li Lang politely washed the dishes with the bucket of water next to the pot and cleaned himself up. Hearing how the two seniors who were supposed to accompany him around Nightmoon Valley’s grounds were still sparring outside, he exited the modest house to rejoin them.
He knew exactly where they were due to the sound of their clashes. They hadn’t stopped fighting the entire time he was eating. He could see them right away upon leaving the house, as they were level with him, but they weren’t standing on any solid ground. Instead, they were hovering in the air, circling around each other on their own skyswords.
“Senior Jian, Senior Tai!” Li Lang shouted. “How much longer will you two be?”
His words made the two cultivators come to a stop mid-swing. They didn’t break eye contact with each other for some time, while frozen stiff in the air.
“Sorry about that, Li Lang,” Jian Beiyun said as he adjusted his robes. “We got carried away. I can bring you to the Pill Hall now if you’re ready.”
“Yes, please. I’d like to complete everything while there’s still light out.”
“Follow me, then.”
The head disciple of Nightmoon Valley quickly descended, followed by Tai Xilun.
Jian Beiyun was at the lead, bringing the two visitors through the mountainside residence of his organization while waving at the occasional cultivator they came across. During the other moments, he chatted leisurely with his guests.
“So, how was my porridge? Was it to your liking?”
“Honestly, yeah. It’s way better than what the inns serve, or our new cooks for that matter.”
“It’d be embarrassing if my food was worse than mortal food when I used Earth-grade ingredients. Still, I don’t doubt my skill in the culinary department. Sima Xue could attest to that. I basically fed her growing up.”
