Chapter 272: Lord Luo, please bless me

Luo Mingyue said: "Okay, thank you for your help then."

"No trouble."

Huo Hetian took out a conch shell and said to it, "Apprentices, gather all the cooks and send them to me."

"cook?"

The disciples suspected that they had heard wrongly.

Huo Hetian said, "Before you send them over, tell them that this mission will be very arduous, because I plan to have them turn all the pigs, cows, and sheep in the mine into food. It will take several days if they work day and night. Communicate with the cooks in advance and ask them to tell their families before they come."

"It takes so long?" The disciples were surprised.

Luo Mingyue added, "When cooking, it's best to chop the vegetables into smaller pieces, as big as millet grains, or even as big as rice grains."

Huo Hetian repeated her words.

The disciples' voices came from the conch, "Okay, Master, we got it."

"No problem, Master. I am also a cook and have excellent knife skills. I guarantee that I will carry out your orders meticulously."

"Master, you are testing our sword and knife skills in various ways, right? Then use me as your cook. Don't worry, I promise to chop all the ingredients into small and even pieces. Leave it to me!"

Huo Hetian, his wife, children, and apprentices all had a conch shell in their hands, so they could talk to each other. At this moment, his wife also heard the sounds and asked in surprise, "Who are they going to invite?"

Huo Hetian said, "Please come in, Sect Master Luo."

"Which Sect Master Luo?" The wife was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be...could it be the Sect Master of Mingyue Sect?"

Huo Hetian nodded, "Yes, it's her."

The wife thought, Sect Master Luo is not a glutton, how can he eat so much? But then she thought, maybe her husband is not sure about the taste of Sect Master Luo, so she should make more. When the time comes, she will take out the corresponding dishes to entertain the Sect Master.

Thinking of this, his wife praised: "Hetian, you are really thoughtful."

"Ah?" Huo Hetian wondered, "What do you mean by thoughtful? What did I consider?"

The wife said, "Do you want the chefs to prepare more dishes and provide them for Luo Zongzhu to choose from?"

Huo Hetian said: "No, after all the dishes are prepared, they will be packed up for Sect Master Luo to take away. She..."

When his wife heard what he said, she immediately became anxious, "Huo Hetian! Sect Master Luo is the strongest in the world of immortal cultivation, and he owns countless treasures from heaven and earth. If you want to give him a gift, why not give him some spiritual stones? Or some rare treasures that are hard to find on the market? Why did you give him food? The Sect Master must have been fasting for a long time. Although spiritual mutton, spiritual beef, and spiritual pork taste good, and immortal cultivators will benefit from eating them a little bit, but this little benefit must be very weak for a strong man like Sect Master Luo. It's almost the same as not eating at all. He's so powerful, how could he lack a bite of food like you? Hurry up and open the storehouse and let the Sect Master choose whatever he wants!"

She spoke very quickly, with almost no pauses between words. Huo Hetian tried to interrupt her several times, but failed. When his wife finished speaking, Huo Hetian lowered his voice to remind her, "Sect Master Luo is right next to me!"

"Ah!" The wife was stunned, with a thousand horses galloping through her heart. She wanted to complain to her husband, "Why didn't you say so earlier?", but considering that Sect Master Luo was still beside her, she said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Sect Master Luo, I didn't know you were here too..."

Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "It's okay. I took the initiative to ask Master Huo to help me find a cook to cook."

"So it's you... Are those cattle and sheep enough? I'm out on business, so I can bring back some more spirit beast meat."

Luo Mingyue said: "Thank you very much, Madam."

"You are so polite. These are just easy things to do..." Huo Hetian's wife was very happy. She was worried that Sect Master Luo would have a bad impression of her, but when she heard that Sect Master Luo did not reject her proposal, she immediately felt relieved and decided to bring back more kinds of spirit beast meat.

Inside the conch, the disciples heard the conversation between Master's Wife and Luo Mingyue, and they were all very excited:
"Master, are you telling the truth? Is Sect Master Luo really standing next to you?"

"Master, where are you? Tell us where you are. I want to see Sect Master Luo from a distance. I promise to hide in the dark and watch secretly. I won't come close to you openly."

The veins on Huo Hetian's forehead jumped happily twice. "Shut up, are you a peeping Tom?"

"Master, I admire Sect Master Luo very much. Can I go and kowtow to her? I ask her to bless me so that my path of cultivation will be smooth..."

"Hey? That's a really good suggestion. I want to give it a try, too."

"Let's go together. Most people can't even kowtow here. The whereabouts of the sect leader are mysterious and unpredictable. I didn't expect that she would come to our sect. We must seize this opportunity and kowtow a few more times..."

Huo Hetian said with an unpleasant expression: "Shut up, go find the cook quickly..."

"Okay, Master, I'll go right away!"

The disciples' excited voices came from the conch. Huo Hetian held his forehead with his hand, feeling that his face was almost humiliated by his disciples.

Luo Mingyue looked hesitant and asked, "Are the people who just spoke the Tian-level disciples of your sect?"

"Yes." Huo Hetian nodded helplessly, and then said: "Actually, my wife is a very good person, but she is a little impatient. She was outside discussing business, and she may have just finished the discussion, so she had time to listen to the conch. She doesn't know yet that you rescued Linglong..."

Luo Mingyue said: "It's okay. Don't worry, I don't get angry that easily."

Huo Hetian thanked him and said, "Besides, my disciples are all relatively... ahem, relatively simple and honest. Please don't take what they said just now to heart."

Luo Mingyue was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why did they say they wanted to kowtow to me? Is their way of greeting others so refreshing and refined?"

Huo Hetian said: "No, they are very normal most of the time. It's just that the [Concentrating Heart Mirror] was very popular some time ago. Everyone found that watching you take action is beneficial to cultivation. Therefore, many people speculated that if they could see you in person, the effect would be better. Some people even made wishes to the figure in the [Concentrating Heart Mirror]..."

Luo Mingyue's face was filled with black lines.

Huo Hetian added: "Many people believe that you are the strongest in the entire cultivation world and are favored and protected by the heavens. If people make wishes in front of you, they may really be able to realize their wishes... Of course, these are all speculations. You can just listen to them casually and don't take them seriously."

Luo Mingyue's mouth twitched, and she said: "The path of cultivation mainly depends on yourself. It's useless to rely on me."

Huo Hetian echoed, "Yes... But my group of troublesome disciples probably think kneeling down to you is a good idea. After all, the leader of the White Jade Sect broke through to the Golden Core Stage by watching you fight the Red Sun Manor Master. This matter has spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and it has become more and more exaggerated. But don't worry, most people won't believe those outrageous rumors. I will also restrain my disciples and won't let them disturb you."

Luo Mingyue said: "I think it may be because your group of [Tian] disciples are too idle. There is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. As your direct disciples, they should set an example and be more able to endure hardships, but you have given them too many preferential treatments. I think things that are too easy to get are often not cherished. They should also rely on their own hands and efforts to earn spirit stones. This will not only increase income for you and Tianlou, but also play a role in training disciples. If their lives have always been smooth sailing, they will start to be unable to bear any setbacks in the future, which is not conducive to their growth."

Huo Hetian was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Mingyue to say such a thing. He pondered for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. In fact, I used to think like this: the disciples with the [Tian] character have better talents. I think it is a waste of time to let them do some miscellaneous activities. They should be allowed to devote all their time to cultivation, so that they can become stronger more easily. As for the disciples with the [Di] character, their talents are not very good and their future achievements are limited, so it is suitable for them to do more miscellaneous things, which can be regarded as making the best use of their talents. But later, I found that no matter whether they are disciples with the [Tian] character or the [Di] character, they always encounter various bottlenecks when practicing, and they are stuck in the same place for several years and cannot make any progress..."

Luo Mingyue said: "I understand what you mean. Talent is indeed important, but sometimes, people with poor talent may be able to go further. You can't just deny their value. Just like me, I have five spiritual roots. The immortal cultivation world believes that the fewer spiritual roots, the purer they are, and the faster you can cultivate. But sometimes, speed is not necessarily the most important thing. Going far is."

Huo Hetian said solemnly: "I'm grateful for your advice."

He decided that when he returned from Baiyu Sect, he would start to rectify the sect's ethos and let all his disciples start earning spirit stones!

Huo Hetian led the way and took Luo Mingyue out of the world in the painting. He took down the painting and explained, "Only my family and I can enter this bamboo forest. Even if my disciples don't know that there is something else in this mountain, after all, our family must have our own private space. And if we encounter a disaster of extermination one day, we can also have a place to escape."

Luo Mingyue said: "That's good. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Your family is very thoughtful. When I return to Mingyue Sect, I will also build a space for myself to be alone."

This is most likely just a casual remark and will basically not be fulfilled, because Mingyue Sect is vast and sparsely populated, only two of the mountains are inhabited, and the remaining eight mountains are uninhabited. Even the space on the mountains is not fully occupied, and most of the space is private.

Luo Mingyue followed Huo Hetian all the way back to the outside world. The disciples with the "Tian" character were very enthusiastic and had already brought twenty "cooks".

Huo Hetian narrowed his eyes, pointed his finger at one of the "cooks", and said, "If I remember correctly, you are my apprentice, right? Your hobby is sword practice, and you claim that you never let go of your sword. The sword is your lover... But why are you holding a kitchen knife in your hand now?"

"Because I just changed my career to become a chef today, holding a kitchen knife makes me look more professional."

Huo Hetian pointed at another person and said, "Isn't your weapon a sledgehammer? What are you doing with a rolling pin in your hand?"

"Master, I am particularly good at making mutton dumplings. Whether it is preparing the filling or rolling the dough, I am very good at it. I think I am fully qualified to be a chef..."

Huo Hetian looked at another female disciple and said, "What about you? What are you doing standing among the cooks with nothing in your hands?"

The female disciple immediately pulled out a long white silk ribbon from her sleeve and said with a smile, "Master, this is my weapon. When the time comes, the cows and sheep all over the mountains and plains will easily run around. I can use the silk ribbon to tie them all up and strangle them to death."

The male disciple carried a large knife on his shoulder. Without waiting for Huo Hetian to ask, he took the initiative to say, "I am good at skinning sheep, cleaning the internal organs, and helping to prepare the food."

Another disciple held a wooden basin and said, "I can help transport the ingredients."

The most outrageous thing was that there was another disciple holding a fan in his hand. He said, "Master, my fan is very powerful. It has two completely different abilities. It can both ignite fire and bring coolness. Cooks always need fire to cook, right? When they are tired, I can also fan them."

Huo Hetian rubbed his temple and said, "I'm very tired now, and my heart is tired!"

How could he end up with such a group of unreliable disciples?
Luo Mingyue smiled and said, "I would like to thank you all here first."

"You're welcome!"

The emotions of many chefs became excited. They didn't expect that Sect Master Luo was so easy to talk to. He even thanked them. Everyone was flattered. One of the chefs blushed and said, "Sect Master, don't worry. I am a cultivator in the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage. I have plenty of energy. I can stay up all night and cook for three days and three nights. When the time comes, I will definitely let you eat your fill!"

Among the twenty "cooks" present, only eight were real cooks, and the other twelve were all disciples of Huo Hetian. One of the disciples was hiding behind a tree stealthily. He poked his head out and took a look, and found that more than a dozen new cooks were brought in. After everyone's attention was drawn to him, the disciple hiding behind the tree quickly knelt in the direction of Luo Mingyue, muttering to himself, "Please, Sect Master Luo Mingyue, bless me with good luck, bless the eldest son Huo Baota's illness to recover quickly, and bless Hetian Tower to be prosperous and reach a higher level..."

Immortal cultivators have sharp ears and eyes, so even though his voice was very low, everyone could still hear it clearly.

Huo Hetian's face turned blue and purple. He wanted to blame this disciple, but this disciple had good intentions and made good wishes to Huo Baota and Hetian Tower. But if he didn't blame this disciple, he was afraid that other disciples would follow his example... Moreover, the way this disciple knelt timidly behind the tree really asked for a beating!
