Chapter 2706

Zhu Yanyi was quite surprised that the Fire Emperor wanted to take a disciple. However, she could not deny that this was a good opportunity for Qinghe. Of course, if the Fire Emperor refused, Zhu Yanyi did not mind teaching Qinghe herself. After all, the basics were the same; only the cultivation methods would need to be changed to fire-based ones in the future.

Naturally, having the Fire Emperor teach him was even better.

Qinghe was also a smart child. Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, she went to the Fire Emperor and said, "Disciple pays respects to Master."

The Fire Emperor looked at Qinghe and said, "I will accept you temporarily. However, whether you can become my true disciple depends on your future cultivation and character. If I find your character to be bad, I will not acknowledge you as my disciple."

Qinghe said seriously, "Master, please rest assured. Disciple will never do anything to disgrace you."

The Fire Emperor smiled lightly. "You cannot disgrace me even if you wanted to. What you must do is not disgrace yourself."

Qinghe might not fully understand the Fire Emperor’s words now, but he would remember everything said today. So, even if he did not understand at this moment, it did not matter. He would still perform well.

Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly at the Fire Emperor’s actions. The Fire Emperor had strict requirements for taking disciples. Although Qinghe had a top-grade fire spiritual root, it was not innate. While a top-grade fire spiritual root was rare, it was not impossible to find. The main reason she could become the Fire Emperor’s recorded disciple now was that she had entered the Suiyuan Pharmacy.

Over this period, the tacit understanding and friendship among the eight gods had grown stronger. Basically, if someone had difficulties, others would help as much as they could.

Qinghe was no exception. She became the Fire Emperor’s recorded disciple mainly because of the relationship between Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi. However, whether Qinghe would succeed in the future depended on herself. The stage had been set; whether she could step onto it depended on her own efforts.

"We haven’t gone out since arriving in this plane. Since you have both taken disciples, why don’t we go for a walk?" the Black Emperor suggested.

Although they could see many things here, they lacked the feeling of being immersed in them. It was like visiting a scenic spot. Although pictures of the spot could be seen online, the feeling of visiting it in person was different.

Therefore, many people preferred to travel to the actual place after seeing photos. This was one of the reasons why tourism developed so much later.

When people were alive and full, they thought about how to enjoy life. Traveling was also a form of enjoyment.

Having come to this Hundred-Image Plane, the gods did not intend to interfere with everything here. However, going out for a walk was necessary. They did not necessarily have to go to busy places; walking around nearby and looking around was also good.

"Then let’s go out and see," everyone agreed without objection.

"I think we should start from the Hundred-Change Forest. Although we live here, we haven’t properly played around." the Empress suggested. "We can also have a real picnic."

"I have no objection," the Fire Empress spoke first. "As long as there is good food."

"I find that you can’t leave eating," the Empress scolded the Fire Empress with a smile.

The Fire Empress said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. My name is Fu’er, so naturally, I should eat more."

"Can a name be explained like that?" the Empress looked at the Fire Empress speechlessly.

The Fire Empress laughed dryly twice. Anyway, eating more was necessary no matter how you looked at it.

"Let’s go out for a picnic for a few days first. Next, we won’t use divine powers. We will play here like ordinary people," Yan Aohan said.

"En, that’s good," the Immortal Emperor agreed.

Basically, everyone agreed. The Qingyun siblings, who were originally a bit afraid of the dangers in the Hundred-Change Forest, were no longer afraid. After all, their masters were here, so they didn’t need to be afraid.

In fact, they indeed didn’t need to be afraid. Even if they walked in the forest as mortals, the various animals and magical beasts here did not dare to invade them. Gods were gods. Even if their divine aura was restrained, animals could keenly sense the danger of this group. So, they walked leisurely in the forest.

Of course, Zhu Yanyi and the Fire Emperor were the busiest among them. Who else had taken disciples? Zhu Yanyi began to teach Qingyun to recognize various basic medicinal herbs, how to pick them, and how to process them. The Fire Emperor began to teach Qinghe to sense the fire elements around her.

One day, they arrived at the edge of a waterfall. A waterfall three zhang wide flowed straight down from above, crashing into the pool below, stirring up countless white waves, but it had a unique charm.

Seeing that the scenery here was nice, the group decided to rest here.

Zhu Yanyi took Qingyun to the side to pick fungi. She found many black wood ears, shiitake mushrooms, and other mushrooms here. Although they were large in size, as the Medical God, she could tell at a glance that they were all edible.

By the way, Zhu Yanyi also taught Qingyun to recognize various seasonings. "This is fennel. Smell it, remember its appearance, and remember its scent. Of course, you should also taste it. This is the most basic requirement for a healer."

Then Zhu Yanyi explained the effects of fennel to Qingyun: "Fennel is rich in vitamins B1, B2, C, PP, carotene, and fiber. The fennel oil gives it a special spicy smell, which can stimulate the nerves and blood vessels of the stomach and intestines. It has the effect of strengthening the stomach and regulating qi. Therefore, it is an excellent vegetable to pair with meat and oil. Cooking fennel or drinking it in wine can move qi, dispel cold, and relieve pain. Crushing fennel leaves raw and drinking the juice or applying it externally can treat severe boils. Fennel is pungent in taste and warm in nature. It opens the appetite, regulates qi, dispels cold, and aids yang energy."

Then Zhu Yanyi said, "Many people use fennel to make dumplings, which tastes good. But more often, we add fennel to soups or use it in barbecues to remove fishy smells."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yanyi pointed to the chili peppers. "This is chili pepper. It has the effects of warming the middle, dispelling cold, descending qi, and aiding digestion. It treats stomach cold and qi stagnation, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rheumatic pain, and frostbite. However, chili peppers should not be eaten too much, or it will cause internal heat."

"I remember it, Master." Qingyun had a good memory and quickly remembered the key points Zhu Yanyi said.

"This is beet. As the name suggests, beet refers to plants with a slightly sweet taste. It can also refer to plants that can be used to make sugar." Zhu Yanyi took out a hoe, started picking beets, and picked a beet leaf for Qingyun to taste.
