Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The two kind people were very helpful. Knowing that the three of them would be staying in the capital for a while, they invited them to stay at their residence.

Shang Sicheng and his fellow apprentice Wu Shuze lived in the Zhu family's house.

The Zhu family wasn't large, at least compared to other officials.

It's quite large compared to ordinary homes, with a three-courtyard layout plus two side courtyards, enough to house quite a few people.

However, Liu Dong and Yin Ji declined their invitation.

The two then found a small courtyard for the three of them not far from where they lived.

The small courtyard has only one entrance, and besides the central courtyard, there are only five rooms, one of which is the kitchen.

The house has been uninhabited for some time, and it's covered in dust.

Before you can move in, you'll need to do some cleaning.

Shang Sicheng and Zhu Yuan wanted to stay and help with the cleaning, but Yin Ji persuaded them to leave.

Once the two figures disappeared, Liu Dong used several cleaning spells to tidy up the house until it was spotless.

None of the three needed to sleep; at night, they would cultivate instead of sleeping.

But in order to avoid suspicion, the three of them still bought bedding and other items.

When Shang Sicheng and Zhu Yuan arrived the next day, they found that the entire courtyard had been tidied up and put in good condition.

The small kitchen was piled high with food.

Yin Ji smiled at the two of them: "You've come at the perfect time. We'll have dinner here tonight; consider it our hot pot feast."

Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "Great idea. There's a restaurant called Taibai nearby. Although their dishes aren't as good as Uncle Zhang's, they're still pretty good. We can have them deliver the food and drinks over."

Yin Ji: "No need, I'll do it."

Zhu Yuan and Shang Sicheng stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in unison, "You do it?"

Can you eat?
Liu Tong chuckled: "Once you've tasted Aji's cooking, you'll know what true culinary delight is."

Zhu Yuan and Shang Sicheng did not believe Liu Tong's words, thinking he was exaggerating.

However, the two were still looking forward to dinner and both offered to help in any way they could.

Liu Tong waved her hand: "No need for you, you should go do your own things first. Come over for dinner at dusk."

The two left, not because they were idle, but because the Six Doors still had many things for them to do.

Liu Tong accompanied Yin Ji to buy groceries.

The ingredients used in ancient times were of very high quality, and there would never have been any fake meat or eggs like in modern times, nor would there have been excessive pesticide residues.

Moreover, the vegetables here are all picked by farmers from their own fields early in the morning, so they are very fresh.

Before long, the two of them had bought a large amount of ingredients and returned home.

Yin Ji began his spiritual cooking training.

With each meal Yin Ji prepared, his spiritual chef skills improved, and the spiritual energy within his body also increased.

Furthermore, his practice of Changzhen Gong never stopped.

The two cultivated together, and the concentration of spiritual energy in his body was much higher than that of many cultivators who had refined Qi into spirit.

In the evening, Zhu Yuan and Shang Sicheng arrived with gifts.

The two also pulled along their senior brother, Wu Shuze.

Wu Shuze looked much more composed than the two of them, and his appearance also seemed familiar to Liu Tong and Liu Lin.

The two remembered Yun Qing, who had disappeared after the upheaval at Qingling Sect.

Because of the similarities between Yin Ji and Shang Si, Liu Lin did not experience much emotional fluctuation when she saw Wu Shuze.

Liu Lin treated Wu Shuze with a normal attitude and did not hold a grudge because of his face that resembled someone else's.

However, he still asked about Wu Shuze's childhood.

Liu Lin: "I once knew someone who said he had a twin brother, but they were separated."

Wu Shuze was shocked and reached out to grab Liu Lin's arm.

How could Liu Lin let a mere mortal catch him? With a slight movement, he dodged Wu Shuze's hand.

Wu Shuze grabbed at empty air, realizing he had lost his composure, and quickly apologized to Liu Lin. "I'm sorry, I was just too excited when I heard the news about my brother."

It turns out that Wu Shuze might really be Yun Qing's brother.
Wu Shuze has a twin brother. When they were eight years old, their family suffered a disaster and they were hunted down.

During their escape, Wu Shuze's brother fell into the swift current of the river.

Zhu Yuan's father was on good terms with Wu Shuze's father. When he heard that his friend's family had suffered a disaster, he rushed over, but he was too late.

In the end, he only managed to save one of his friend's sons from the bandits' knives, taking him in as an apprentice and raising him.

Lord Zhu once searched along the riverbank for his friend's other son, but he did not find him.

Both Master Zhu and Wu Shuze believed that the child was dead.

Now I hear that someone looks exactly like me and has a twin brother...

If that's not his brother, then who is it?

Wu Shuze asked, "Is his name Wu Shutao?"

Liu Lin shook his head: "His name is Yun Qing."

Wu Shuze was disappointed upon hearing this.

He's not my own brother.

Liu Lin said, "Don't be disappointed. When Yun Qing was rescued by his master, he had injured his head and lost some of his memories. He only remembers that he has a younger brother, but he has forgotten even his own name."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuze became excited again and asked, "Then where is he?"

Liu Lin: "I don't know. The last time I saw him was five years ago. I don't know where he is now."

All that is known is that his bones and muscles were crippled by the Demon King, rendering him a cripple.

The useless person could no longer remain in the Qingling Sect.

That guy wasn't as smart or as knowledgeable as his younger brother.

Unlike his younger brother, he didn't have the good fortune to obtain miraculous techniques for repairing bones and muscles from miscellaneous books.

I wonder if he'll be smart enough to bring some shiny stones down from the back of the mountain and sell them for money.

Yun Qing has lived in the mortal realm for far longer than Liu Lin, so he should know the importance of money, right?

Don't let yourself starve to death.

Liu Lin: "The last time I saw him was near the Qingling Mountains in the northwest. If you want to find someone, you can go there."

Wu Shuze clasped his hands in thanks and said gratefully, "Thank you."

She tried to get up, but Shang Sicheng stopped her.

"Senior Brother, so many years have passed, there's no rush. Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we'll go back and ask Master for leave, and then we'll set off for the Northwest tomorrow."

Wu Shuze stopped in his tracks: "Yes, I was too hasty."

Everyone could understand him, after all, it was news from their only relative.

Liu Tong: "The food is ready, let's eat first."

Zhu Yuanwang went to the kitchen: "I'll help serve the dishes."

Shang Sicheng followed up: "I'll set the table."

As dish after dish was served, the aroma made the three guests unable to resist swallowing their saliva.

Zhu Yuan: "This smells amazing!"

Shang Sicheng: "I now agree with what Liu Dong said. This meal was absolutely delicious."

The aroma alone is so enticing; imagine what it would be like to actually taste it…

Then they truly understood that what Liu Dong said wasn't just boasting.

This tastes even better than what the imperial chefs in the palace make!
A masterpiece of nature, no, a divine treasure!

While eating, Shang Sicheng hummed, "Yin Ji, um, I need to discuss something with you."

Yin Ji: "What is it?"

Shang Sicheng: "Can I pay for my own food and eat here with you?" (End of Chapter)
