Chapter 2592

"Zhu Zhibin," Wen Jianjue looked at Yu Yinuo, "according to what the siblings said, he only just awakened his talent. He is already over a hundred years old, long past the best time for basic cultivation. Yet, in just over a month, he went from a mortal who knew nothing to a quasi-cultivator. Do you think his foundation establishment will fail?"

Wen Jianjue’s gaze was firm. "At least I believe that for someone like him, foundation establishment will definitely succeed."

"Why?" Yu Yinuo asked. He actually had the same feeling, but he couldn't help but ask.

Wen Jianjue answered seriously, "No reason. It’s just a feeling."

"Actually, Senior Brother," Yu Yinuo said, looking at Wen Jianjue, "I have this feeling too. I feel Zhu Zhibin will definitely succeed in establishing his foundation. Moreover, he will likely form a core in the future, and the chance of him advancing further is very high. Ascension is even possible."

A cultivator’s intuition is never blind. Wen Jianjue had this feeling, and unexpectedly, Yu Yinuo shared it. This made Wen Jianjue fall silent. "It seems Zhu Zhibin is undoubtedly extraordinary."

"Zhu Zhibin is extraordinary, but I think his sister is even more so," Yu Yinuo said straightforwardly.

Wen Jianjue laughed. "Junior Brother Yu, it seems your intuition is even sharper this time."

"Senior Brother Wen, stop teasing me. What do you mean my intuition is sharper this time? My intuition has always been sharp."

Yu Yinuo paused, then said thoughtfully, "I don’t know why, but I always feel a sense of trustworthiness from Zhu Zhibin’s sister. This feeling makes one want to get close to her. Of course, this closeness has no other meaning; it’s like seeing one’s own sister."

"I know you mean no harm. It’s because Zhu Yanyi possesses a natural affinity," Wen Jianjue explained, knowing things Yu Yinuo did not. "This affinity is very attractive to us sword cultivators. As you said, it’s like meeting a relative. Sword cultivators are generally lonely. Even if we have fellow disciples, we rely mostly on ourselves on the path forward, lacking that sense of family. Zhu Yanyi’s affinity reminds us of family, making us want to approach her."

"This affinity is actually quite nice," Yu Yinuo said directly. "It has no evil aura."

"Nonsense, it’s affinity," Wen Jianjue glanced at Yu Yinuo. "Affinity is an innate charm. This charm helps one encounter fewer enemies, so naturally, it has no evil aura. Do you think it’s some messy evil charm?"

Yu Yinuo didn’t mind Wen Jianjue’s teasing. "In that case, there’s no harm in getting to know them better."

"Hmm. People with such affinity are generally not evil cultivators. However, I am still curious about their background," Wen Jianjue said calmly.

"Forget it. We are sword cultivators, not mystery cultivators. There’s no need to figure out their background. Besides, I think things are fine as they are," Yu Yinuo said. He looked at Wen Jianjue. "Maybe we can even make two friends. That wouldn’t be a waste of our journey out of the sect for training."

"Hmm," Wen Jianjue did not deny this.

"By the way," Yu Yinuo added, "Senior Brother Wen, should we buy some local specialties and send them back?"

"If you pay, I have no objection," Wen Jianjue looked at Yu Yinuo.

Yu Yinuo sighed. "You’re the senior brother, and you’re not poor. Why do I have to pay?"

"Because you have more money," Wen Jianjue said directly.

Yu Yinuo had no choice but to say, "Fine. Let’s go look ahead. If we find any unique specialties, we’ll send some back to the sect. The senior and junior brothers who went out last time said there’s a fish jerky shop here with good jerky. They told me to remember to buy some and send it back. Let’s go take a look."

The two brothers went off to buy local specialties.

The next day, Zhu Yanyi took Zhu Zhibin to water the sprouting plants first. After checking their growth, Zhu Yanyi took out a lot of vegetables and raw chicken, duck, fish, and meat, asking Zhu Zhibin to help clean them all. She then took out the barbecue tools to prepare.

When Yu Yinuo and Wen Jianjue arrived, they saw the siblings skewering the prepared meat and vegetables.

"So much food," Yu Yinuo’s eyes lit up.

Even though cultivators could survive without eating, it didn’t stop their pursuit of delicious food.

"Indeed, there is a lot," Wen Jianjue said, a glint in his eyes.

They had originally thought that so-called barbecue would just involve roasting a few ordinary spirit beasts. But at this moment, they realized they had been narrow-minded. The variety was huge, and the method wasn’t roasting whole beasts, but skewering them.

Zhu Zhibin knew how to barbecue, so he taught Wen Jianjue and Yu Yinuo. "It’s better to eat this kind of barbecue while we grill it ourselves."

Seeing Zhu Zhibin’s skilled movements, Yu Yinuo became curious. "Let me try too."

Zhu Zhibin made space for Yu Yinuo to come over, guiding him from the side.

Except for the first two skewers, which had some issues, Yu Yinuo grilled the rest quite well. With the variety of seasonings Zhu Yanyi had prepared, eating while grilling was very interesting.

In the end, each person had their own barbecue grill, so there was no worry of anyone not getting enough to eat.

Zhu Yanyi also provided flower wine. The feeling of drinking wine while eating barbecue was truly wonderful.

Yu Yinuo, a meat lover, said as he grilled and ate, "This way of eating is really good."

"Does the cultivation world not have this way of eating?" Zhu Zhibin asked, his hands not stopping, but feeling a bit curious.

Yu Yinuo nodded. "There is plenty of delicious food in the cultivation world, especially many spirit cuisine shops. But I’ve never seen this kind of barbecue method." Suddenly, he said, "How about we open a shop? Specializing in this kind of barbecue."

"I think you just want to eat it," Wen Jianjue pierced through Yu Yinuo’s intention from the side.

Yu Yinuo made a funny face. "I don’t believe it. Are you saying you don’t want to eat it?"

Wen Jianjue laughed at Yu Yinuo’s words. "I naturally want to eat it too. But opening a shop is not as simple as you say."

"Hmm," Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly from the side. "Opening a shop is indeed not easy. First, you need to find a shop, then do simple decorations. Besides that, it’s still not enough."
