    "Where are you going?"

    Seeing Ding Huan leaving the team alone, a disciple of Yan Yue Zong immediately stopped Ding Huan.

    Ding Huan smiled:

    "I'll go get some food for our family miss."

    The attendant of Qiong said that it was not allowed to leave the group, otherwise, the consequences would be self-borne.

    The disciple shouted loudly.

    Ding Huan quickly said:

    "You can rest assured that I am nearby and won't go far."

    The other disciple beside him, also a Yan Yue Zong disciple, pulled him aside and made a gesture.

    The disciple understood and just humphed without saying anything more.

    "You're really meddlesome. You've warned him, but he still wants to run off to a remote place; if he dies, it's his own fault."

    After Ding Huan left, the other Yan Yue Zong disciple whispered a sentence.

    "Yes, he has always occupied the name that he shouldn't have. Consider it my meddling, and I hope he doesn't return."

    The disciple who stopped Ding Huan finally understood.

    Ding Huan knew that the two guys were not happy about Guan Lao taking him and Qing Yu into the Daoxiu realm, so he didn't care what they said behind his back.

    There are indeed many dangers here, but he had long calculated it and naturally wouldn't get himself involved in any trouble.

    It took less than half an hour, and Ding Huan returned with two Tianxiang Rabbits.

    Tianxiang Rabbits are spirit beasts, but they are a kind of spirit beast with extremely weak combat power. Even ordinary warriors can kill Tianxiang Beasts.

    Seeing Ding Huan return with two Tianxiang Rabbits, the two Yan Yue Zong disciples could only feel displeased in their hearts, silently cursing that Ding Huan had hit a lucky streak.

    Ding Huan quickly processed the Tianxiang Rabbit meat on the side, then set up a makeshift stove and took out a pot to start cooking.

    This time it's not a duel at the Jin family, so Ding Huan cooks without the previous carefulness.

    Moreover, having arrived in the Daoxiu Realm, even if Guan Lao were to drive Ding Huan away, Ding Huan wouldn't care anymore.

    So Ding Huan took out various seasonings, and soon Ding Huan had braised a large pot of Tianxiang Rabbit Meat with a spicy flavor.

    "Guan Miss, Qing Yu, it's time for dinner," Ding Huan called out.

    "Ding Huan, what spices have you used?"

    "Qing Yu, I smell a different smell. What spices did Ding Huan use?"

    "Yes, some herbs from my hometown." Ding Huan casually said as he had already handed Guan Lao a leg of rabbit.

    Guan Lao took a bite of the rabbit leg, and then her eyes lit up.

    Indeed, Ding Huan did not choose wrong. His cooking skills are definitely something she had never experienced before.

    Ding Huan was also polite and took a rabbit leg to enjoy the meal.

    Qing Yu's brow furrowed slightly. Ding Huan was merely a chef invited by Miss Guan, and how could a chef dine with the host?

    As long as Miss Guan doesn't say anything, she wouldn't say anything either.

    Ding Huan didn't know how long he had been wandering around the Jianghu, but he could see that Qing Yu frowned.

    To Qing Yu's frown, he treated it as if it were air.

    Unless Miss Guan had explicitly told him that chefs must wait for her to finish eating before they can eat, he would also comply.

    This is not an understanding of rank and humility. Such unequal concepts of rank and humility are nothing to Ding Huan.

    This is just a sense of contract, and what is agreed upon should be followed.

    Miss Guan only asked him to be a chef, and didn't say that he had to eat the leftovers, so there is no need to wait.

    Seeing Ding Huan eating together with her, Guan Lao didn't say much.

    She wouldn't be able to finish the whole pot herself.

    Moreover, Ding Huan is only serving as a chef for her for over a month, and not becoming a servant to her Jin family.

    The others could smell the fragrance of Ding Huan's food, but no one dared to come and ask for some.

    Out there, everyone is responsible for their own stomachs.

    As for Qiong attendant and Gu elder, their strength had reached the level of avoidance of food and drugs. Although they also have a desire for food and drink, they will not be as uncontrollable as ordinary people.

    At most, they can only think in their hearts that the future Mrs. Young Master really knows how to enjoy herself, not forgetting to have delicious food prepared even on the way to the sect.

    After a night, nothing happened at all. After all, the location of Yan Yue Zong is still not in the Great Ravine Valley.

    From the mortal realm to the Daoxiu realm, the most dangerous place is the endless Great Ravine Valley.

    Early the next morning, the Qiong attendant called for everyone to line up.

    Only after everyone had lined up, the Qiong attendant solemnly said:

    "I've warned you about everything I should warn. Now that we're about to enter the Great Ravine Valley, I have one more thing to say."

    Over the years, most of the missing new disciples have been in the Great Ravine Valley. One can only travel during the day and rest at night in the Great Ravine Valley.

    So our speed won't be too slow, everyone must keep up with the team. If someone can't keep up with the team, the team won't wait for you."

    Hearing this, several of the new disciples with slightly weaker strength turned pale.

    Fortunately, the Qiong attendant's next words eased the tension among the new disciples.

    "I will give each of you a Quickness Form when we arrive, which can last about two weeks."

    "If you can't keep up, save it. Otherwise, you will have to stay in the Great Ravine Valley alone."

    Ding Huan thought to himself, This is the right way to do it.

    Otherwise, it would be difficult for newly-ascended disciples who haven't undergone cultivation to keep up with the team forcefully.

    What Ding Huan didn't expect was that he was given two Quickness Forms, too.

    One of them was from Lao Liu, and it was temporarily kept with Ding Huan.

    As soon as Ding Huan received the Quickness Form, he knew that it was a level four talisman. If he had a magic pen, he should be able to draw it.

    Only after everyone had their talismans did the Qiong attendant say:

    "This Quickness Form is a medium-quality first-level talisman, one of your entry-level resources. If you can walk out of the Great Ravine Valley without using the talisman, it will be yours."

    Ding Huan heard this and looked stunned.

    Isn't it just a first-level talisman? And just a medium-quality first-level talisman?

    Even though he may be foolish, Ding Huan knows that the so-called third-level talismans he can draw are actually first-level talismans, and even lower-quality first-level talismans.

    This is a big joke. He had always thought that he was about to be able to draw fourth-level talismans.

    It turns out that he can only draw first-level talismans?

    The Qiong attendant wouldn't care about Ding Huan's stunned reaction, as he had already entered the Great Ravine Valley.

    Everyone followed Ding Huan into the Great Ravine Valley.

    Ding Huan could only accept this fact, probably because he didn't fully understand the cultivation system and talisman creation system.

    After all, he doesn't have an instructor, and he has always been alone in exploring.

    Outside the Great Ravine Valley, it was still quite hot.

    As soon as they entered the Great Ravine Valley, Ding Huan felt a bone-chilling cold seep into his body.

    Ding Huan discovered that not only him, everyone who entered the Great Ravine Valley could feel this bone-chilling cold.

    The newly-ascended disciples couldn't help but shiver and unconsciously hunched their necks.

    Elder Gu, as the elder guardian for this group of new disciples, had been paying close attention to the new disciples in the team.

    When he saw them entering the Great Ravine Valley, the twenty-three new disciples couldn't help but shiver, but the chef looked almost unchanged.

    It's strange.

    Fortunately, after adapting to the bone-chilling cold, everyone's pace of walking didn't slow down.

    Elder Gu and Qiong attendant's walking speed isn't slow, but Ding Huan doesn't pay much attention to it.

    Lao Liu is a nine-level gene beast. He can easily keep up.

    Among the twenty-three disciples, three have slightly weaker abilities and need to run at full speed to keep up.

    Running for a long time is certainly not practical, and it's inevitable that some will fall behind. Fortunately, Qiong attendant issued Quickness Forms, which can be used when they can't run anymore.

    Especially Qing Yu, whose speed was not slow at all, even faster than many new disciples.

    On the first day, no one used the Quickness Forms, and the three disciples with slightly weaker abilities managed to keep up by running.

    Although it was only a day, the gap between everyone became obvious.

    Before the sky turned black, Qiong attendant ordered everyone to set up camp again.

    The campsite was very spacious. From the traces, it appeared to be an old campsite.

    As soon as the campsite was set up, Ding Huan left the camp.

    This time, the several protector disciples of Yan Yue Zong didn't bother with Ding Huan, because he died deservedly. They reminded him once.

    Even the Qiong attendant saw Ding Huan leave the team, and he wouldn't care at all.

    His secondary mission is to protect Guan Lao, and as for Ding Huan, who is just an insignificant existence, he wouldn't care if he were dead or alive.

    A few kilometers away from the team, Ding Huan's divine awareness swept around.

    Soon, his divine awareness found a creature with at least several meters long and golden spots. Ding Huan knew that this was a venomous beast.

    This creature looks similar to a python but has legs.

    As long as it is bitten by this creature, there is little chance of survival.

    In general, Golden Spot doesn't need to bite people. As long as someone approaches, they are bound to die.

    Because the Golden Spot can also exhale a toxic mist, and this mist has no antidote.

    Golden Spot is very delicious, and it also has another feature, that wherever this creature appears, there must be treasure.

    This Golden Spot is several meters long, so it must guard a top-level treasure.

    After confirming that the Golden Spot posed no threat to his life, Ding Huan cautiously approached it.

    Perhaps because it had long occupied this area, combined with its extreme confidence in the toxic mist around it, the Golden Spot wasn't very cautious. Even when Ding Huan had touched its back, it was still unaware.

    Ding Huan lifted the long knife in his hand, gathered his life force, and struck the Golden Spot with a blow.

    "Pu!" A streak of blood shot out, but Ding Huan's heart sank.

    The skin of the Golden Spot was surprisingly thick, and his blow only caused it serious injury but did not sever it in half.
