Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

"Brother Wei, what elegance." Lin Jing approached, teasing as he spoke. He saw Wei Zhengqing sitting at the stone table under the shade of trees in the courtyard. Beside him on the stone table was a set of tea utensils, with one cup missing from the set. Right now, at his side, a cup brimming with tea swayed with ripples as the breeze blew, and a few tea leaves danced along with the ripples in the water. Such a scene... Adding to that the leisurely Wei Zhengqing beside, it looked extremely comfortable. Wei Zhengqing chuckled and replied, "Brother Lin jests, I'm merely enjoying a bit of leisure while recovering from an injury." "Come, Brother Lin, please have a seat." Wei Zhengqing gestured for Lin Jing to sit down. Lin Jing walked over and sat on the opposite side of the stone table, while Luo Luo clattered over and jumped up to sit on a stone bench between the two men with a plump. Due to Luo Luo's small size, her feet couldn't reach the ground when sitting on the bench and swung in the air. Wei Zhengqing picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Lin Jing as well. "Uncle Wei, I want some too." Luo Luo, holding her teacup, said to Wei Zhengqing. "Okay." "Luo Luo, be careful, don't burn yourself." Wei Zhengqing reminded, then filled her cup to the brim. Lin Jing looked at Wei Zhengqing, who seemed like a completely different person compared to before. Previously, he was always silent and appeared stern, but now he seemed more casual. Perhaps it was due to some events that caused the change. Afterwards, the two of them chatted idly while drinking tea. Not long after... "Bang bang bang" A knocking sound echoed, and upon hearing it, Luo Luo hopped down from the bench. "Uncle Yan, stop knocking, you'll break the door at this rate." Luo Luo trotted towards the door and opened it. Yan Xiong stood at the doorway, grinning at Luo Luo: "Don't worry, Luo Luo, Uncle Yan knows his strength, I won't break it." Luo Luo didn't pay him any attention, rolled her eyes at him, and clattered back. Yan Xiong, carrying two jars of wine in one hand, walked in. Seeing the two seated there, he exclaimed: "Well, well, you two sure know how to enjoy yourselves." "Making a little girl go open the door for you." Then he walked over, set the two jars of wine aside, and plopped down onto the stone bench. He took the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and 'pinched' the cup, draining it in one go. After finishing, he smacked his lips, seemingly longing for more. "Jeez!" "I can't enjoy this kind of life like you guys." "I'd rather drink wine heartily and eat meat in big chunks." Having said that, Yan Xiong looked at Lin Jing with a smile. Lin Jing sensed something amiss and hurriedly said: "Yan, if you have something to say, just say it, staring at me like that makes me uncomfortable." "I've heard from that little girl Luo Luo long ago that Brother Lin, your culinary skills are quite good. I, old Yan, have wanted to try your cooking for a while now." "Brother Lin, you see..." "That's easy to discuss..." Lin Jing began. "Hehe, that's great." As he spoke, Yan Xiong actually pulled out a spirit sheep from his Storage Bag, one that was already prepared for cooking. Lin Jing estimated that this spirit sheep must have weighed over a hundred pounds in life. A hundred pounds of sheep may not sound heavy, but there were only a few of them, right? "I want to eat something different, something I've never had before. Can Brother Lin make that happen?" "You might not know, Brother Lin, but old Yan here is actually quite the connoisseur when it comes to gourmet food." Wei Zhengqing, on the side, facepalmed, simply unable to watch any longer. Lin Jing was dumbstruck. "You...you... you've been planning this all along, haven't you?" Yan Xiong chuckled and said: "Indeed, I've been wanting to eat it for a while, but since I can't cook and it's hopeless to expect anything from old Wei..." After finishing, Yan Xiong glanced at Wei Zhengqing and shook his head: "Look at him now, I'm afraid he can't even carry this spirit sheep." Wei Zhengqing was speechless at that moment, simply sitting there and still getting shot, but it seemed like he had gotten used to it, as he didn't say anything. He watched Lin Jing with great interest, wanting to see how he would deal with the spirit sheep. "Uncle Lin, I want to eat too." Luo Luo, looking at the spirit sheep that was much bigger than her, licked her lips and said. "You see..." "Luo Luo has spoken." Yan Xiong broke into a big smile, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. "Alright..." "Today, I will roast a spirit sheep for you guys that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." "Old Yan, give me a hand..." Lin Jing said. "Alright..." "Tell me what I need to do, just give me orders." Old Yan seemed very excited. "First, we need a big stove, and then, we also need an iron rack..." Although Lin Jing had never cooked such a large ingredient before, he had seen others do it online in his previous life; it actually wasn't that hard. The only difficult part might be the control of the heat. But, who was he? He was an Alchemist, so controlling the heat was naturally a piece of cake for him. When Ning Yue came back, Lin Jing and Yan Xiong were busy around the stove that Yan Xiong had raised with a spell. Luo Luo was also helping with some seasonings on the side. Ning Yue, seeing the huge spirit sheep, became completely unsettled. A simple gathering, and they needed to make such a grand preparation? "What are they doing?" Ning Yue walked up and asked Wei Zhengqing. Wei Zhengqing spread his hands and said, "As you can see, two want to eat, one dares to cook..." ...... By the time the spirit sheep was roasted, the sky had also darkened. Ning Yue had also made several side dishes earlier. When the sliced spirit sheep meat was served, Yan Xiong and Luo Luo, who had been drooling for a while, each grabbed a large piece. Yan Xiong even bit off a huge chunk of meat in one bite. "Delicious..." "Really delicious..." "What's that called? How do you describe it? That's right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..." "Come on, you all try some too..." As he spoke, he himself devoured the meal voraciously. Meanwhile, Luo Luo on the side had no time to talk, hugging a large chunk of meat and nibbling on it. Lin Jing said, "Brother Wei, Daoist Ning, come and try some." The two replied, "Alright..." After that, both tasted a piece. After tasting, Wei Zhengqing commented, "Brother Lin, if you weren't an alchemist, you actually could have been an immortal chef. I really don't know how you came up with this, to cook like that." "Still, it tastes really good..." Ning Yue also nodded repeatedly. ...... After eating and drinking for a while, they started chatting. As they talked, somehow, the group suddenly fell silent. "Brother Lin." Wei Zhengqing looked at Lin Jing and spoke. "Brother Wei, please go ahead." Lin Jing looked up at Wei Zhengqing as well. "We'll be leaving in a while." "You're leaving..." Lin Jing fell silent for a while before saying, "Does it have to do with your injury this time?" Wei Zhengqing nodded, "Yes." He then added, "It also has to do with Ning Yue."
