Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 231 Senior Brother, please be sure nothing happens to you...

The Azure Cauldron was also cheering Ji Chen on. If its master succeeded, it could be with Jiu Li every day!

Great! So the first step to success—to win a girl's heart, you must first win her stomach!

Ji Chen turned around and went to the kitchen. Xiao Meng'er loved Jing Shu's cooking the most, and he wanted to learn from him! No, he wanted to become Jing Shu's apprentice!

In the kitchen, Jing Shu was busy with his own tasks, while on the other side, Gu Yue was cooking something and bickering with Han Luo.

Ji Chen was somewhat shocked by the way Hanluo Immortal Venerable and Guyue Senior got along, but he had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.

"Brother Jing, I have a favor to ask of you," Ji Chen said, his tone slightly obsequious.

Jing Shu didn't even look up. "What is it?"

Ji Chen coughed lightly, "Um, I'd like to learn some cooking skills from you."

Upon hearing this, Jing Shu looked up at Ji Chen and asked, "Why are you learning this?"

"I have a girl I like. If I'm going to pursue her, I need to have some skills that I can be proud of, right?"

Ji Chen didn't dare to openly say that he had fallen for Gu Meng, fearing that he would be killed by Jing Shu and the others before he could even begin pursuing her.

"Isn't alchemy your forte?" Jing Shu asked.

“Any alchemist can refine pills, that’s common. But cooking is different. There aren’t many cultivators who can cook!” Ji Chen said with a grin.

Ordinary? With the help of the Azure Light Cauldron, can Ji Chen's alchemy be considered ordinary?

However, Jing Shu didn't care about that. "Then you help me start the fire."

"okay!"

Everything is almost ready. Just cook some sweet and sour pork ribs, which Master likes, and then we can eat.

Jing Shu looked at the ribs being blanched in the pot, thinking that his senior brother and Xiao You should be back soon.

At this moment, Jing Shu's communication jade slip suddenly lit up.

It's Jingyou.

Jing Shu took out a communication jade slip. Hearing Jing You's anxious voice in the jade slip, Jing Shu's face turned cold, and he stopped what he was doing.

Under Ji Chen's questioning gaze, he turned and walked towards Han Luo, saying in a deep voice.

"Master, something has happened."

...........

"Brother! Master! He's here!" Jingyou waved to Jingshu and the other person as soon as he saw them.

"Brother! This demon egg won't let me get close at all. I have no way of knowing how badly Senior Brother is injured!" Jingyou anxiously explained the situation.

In the deep alley, Shi Chuan lay unconscious in a pool of blood, while the Demon Egg, which should have been staying on Hanfeng Peak, was now guarding Shi Chuan vigilantly, preventing anyone from getting close.

The demonic energy emanating from the egg gradually overflowed from its body, accompanied by wisps of azure demonic energy, carefully protecting Shi Chuan around it, while the azure patterns on its body grew brighter and brighter.

Junlan was losing control.

Han Luo's brows furrowed deeply as he strode to the Demon Egg.

"Junlan, withdraw the demonic energy. Let me check on Shichuan's injuries."

The demon egg seemed to sense Han Luo's presence. Its demonic energy wavered for a moment before gradually receding into its body. However, it did not leave Shi Chuan even slightly. Instead, it rolled to Shi Chuan's left side and gently rubbed against him, trying to elicit a response from him.

Jing Shu also quickly moved forward and immediately saw the wound on Shi Chuan's chest, which seemed to have been caused by a sharp weapon.

Jing Shu quickly crouched down and checked Shi Chuan's pulse. Thankfully, his senior brother was still alive!

But how could the eldest brother, who is already in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, suffer such an injury? There are no signs of fighting around here, so who injured him?

As Jing Shu pondered, his hands continued their work, using spiritual power to heal Shi Chuan's wounds.

However, spiritual healing was completely useless! Shi Chuan's wounds only managed to stop bleeding, without healing at all.

Han Luo also realized that Jing Shu's spiritual power was completely useless, so she squatted down and picked up Shi Chuan, saying, "Let's go back to Han Feng first."

Jing Shu nodded. "Okay!"

Jing Shu grabbed the demon egg and followed. Surprisingly, the demon egg did not struggle at all.

"Brother, will Senior Brother be alright?"

Jingyou was startled by Shi Chuan's appearance. When he trained with Shi Chuan before, although he would get injured, he had never seen Shi Chuan lying there so motionless.

“Senior Brother will be alright,” Jing Shu said firmly. “Tell me the whole story again.”

"I was drawn there by the demonic energy released by the demon egg, and when I got there it was already like this."

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene. I wanted to check on my senior brother's injuries, but the Demon Egg was acting like a madman and wouldn't let me get close. Jingyou told Jingshu everything he knew.

Are there no signs of a struggle...?

The four quickly returned to Hanfeng. After learning that Shi Chuan had an accident, Gu Meng and the other two had been guarding the entrance ever since.

When they saw Hanluo and the others carrying Shichuan back, they hurriedly went to greet them.

"Master, how is Senior Brother?" Gu Meng asked anxiously.

But Han Luo didn't have time to answer Gu Meng at the moment. After carrying Shi Chuan back to his room, he looked at Gu Yue, who had followed him in.

“Gu Yue, come and take a look at Shi Chuan’s wound. There’s something strange about this wound on his body. Jing Shu can’t heal it with his healing magic, and Shi Chuan can’t wake up either.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue abandoned her usual nonchalant demeanor, stepped forward, and tore open Shi Chuan's clothes to carefully examine the wound on Shi Chuan's chest.

"The wound wasn't big; it looked like it was from a dagger."

Gu Yue took out the pills she had prepared herself from her storage ring, crushed them into powder with her hands, and sprinkled them on Shi Chuan's wounds.

However, it still didn't work.

"This is really strange. This is just an ordinary wound," Gu Yue muttered to herself, taking out dozens of kinds of pills and trying them one by one, but none of them worked.

Ji Chen also made a diagnosis, and Gu Yue's diagnosis was indeed correct. He then took out the pills he had made, but they also had no effect whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Gu Meng's eyes were already filled with tears.

It's all her fault. If she hadn't asked her senior brother to buy crispy chicken for her, none of this would have happened.

Senior Brother, please don't let anything happen to you...

“I have an idea,” Jing Shu suddenly said.

Gu Yue suddenly turned around, "What method?"

“Aunt Gu, you should all go out first. I can’t show you this method in front of you,” Jing Shu explained.

"Okay, let's go out first!"

Gu Yue knew that Jing Shu had a secret, so she readily agreed and left the room with the others, leaving only Han Luo and Mo Dan behind.

Han Luo guessed Jing Shu's method. "You want to use your heart's blood, is that right?"

Jing Shu nodded gently, "Master, this is the only method we can try now."

"No!" Han Luo made a decisive decision.

He was certainly worried about Shi Chuan's injury and unconsciousness, but that was not a reason to harm another disciple.

Moreover, there may be other ways.

Jing Shu helplessly took Han Luo's hand. "Master, it's just a trial, it won't use too much blood."
