After all, Qin Ran was not a proper formation master and had not practiced any formation-related skills. As for the formation, he could only rely on his understanding of the formation.
It took him a whole afternoon to set up a formation to draw the power of the stars. He only finished it when the stars started twinkling in the sky.
He took two breaths, straightened his old waist, looked at the formation in front of him, took out a spirit stone, and said to Li Shiyin: "The formation has been set up. You go in, I will put the spirit stone at the center of the formation and activate it."
After saying that, he waited for Li Shiyin to enter the formation so that he could activate it, but after waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement. He turned around to check, but could not find Li Shiyin.
"Hasn't the stupid disciple been following behind all along? When did he disappear?"
Qin Ran frowned, put the spirit stone into his arms, and shouted, "Li Shiyin? Li Shiyin!"
"master!"
Li Shiyin's voice came from the house, and it sounded very far away, as if she was in... the kitchen
"Kitchen?" Qin Ran realized that he was busy setting up the battle formation and had no time to cook. It was already late at night, and Li Shiyin must be starving.
As for himself, in fact, he had already completed his foundation building, so his demand for food was not that high. He usually ate more to satisfy his appetite.
But... why did Li Shiyin go to the kitchen? Can she cook
"What are you doing?" he asked loudly as he walked into the house.
Li Shiyin didn't reply.
But she noticed Qin Ran coming into the room, so there was a lot of noise in the kitchen. When Qin Ran came into the room, she came out of the kitchen.
Qin Ran entered through the front door on the living room side, and Li Shiyin went out through the kitchen door on the living room side. Qin Ran looked over and found that Li Shiyin was in a mess, with cigarette ash on her face, oil stains on her body, and her hair... her hair seemed to have been burned, messy and curly.
Qin Ran was stunned by the image of someone who had just come down from the battlefield. He looked behind Li Shiyin and saw thick smoke filling the kitchen with flames in the smoke, as if a necromancer was casting a fire spell.
"What are you doing?"
Kieran was a little uncertain.
"Do...cook..." Li Shiyin said shyly, looking very embarrassed.
"I thought you were studying the dark arts..."
The fire in the kitchen showed signs of spreading, so Qin Ran hurried over with a stream of water on his hand. The water flowed around Li Shiyin and into the kitchen, extinguishing the flames and sweeping away the smoke.
After putting out the fire, the kitchen was still a mess. Qin Ran sighed, "This is what Nobel Prize-winning experiments with explosives look like."
"What is black magic?" Li Shiyin was eager to learn. "Who is Nobel?"
Qin Ran glanced at her sideways, not bothering to answer, pulled her away, and walked into the kitchen to take a closer look.
The kitchen seemed like a scene from a horror story: there was a piece of raw meat with blood on the chopping board, there was some indescribable liquid in the pot, half of the stove was burnt black, and black juice was scattered on the ground...
"Is the Jiechen formation broken?" he asked, scratching his hair again, puzzled, "How on earth did you do it?"
Li Shiyin didn't know either, so she just replied, "It was working fine at first, but then I don't know why it stopped working."
"Oh!" Qin Ran sighed and checked everywhere on the wall and the ground. It turned out that the array patterns engraved on them had been damaged to a certain extent.
"Those who know you know that you are cooking, while those who don't think you are fighting in the kitchen." He remained silent.
Li Shiyin stood obediently at the kitchen door, not daring to speak.
"So..." Qin Ran stood up and asked after seeing Li Shiyin's expression, "What did you cook to mess up the kitchen like this?"
"Hehe!" Li Shiyin actually laughed triumphantly, ran in, cleaned up the "battlefield ruins", prepared three dishes, and brought them to the dining table.
Qin Ran came over to take a look. The three dishes all looked scary. One was pitch black, charcoal? One was bleeding meat; and one was strange, soup
"What are these dishes?" he asked.
Li Shiyin brought a bowl of rice over, handed it to Qin Ran, and introduced:
“This is stir-fried beans…” referring to the bowl that was burnt into charcoal.
“This is Li Zhuang white meat…” pointing to the bowl of bloody meat.
“This is egg soup…” refers to the bowl of soup with eggshells, bean charcoal chunks, and a strange color.
"It has meat and vegetables, dishes and soup. It's very good." Qin Ran praised. He looked down at the rice in the bowl. Each grain of rice was distinct and sparkling with a raw light.
"Master, come, try it!" Li Shiyin handed over the chopsticks with some anticipation in her eyes.
Qin Ran took the chopsticks and turned them around, wondering if he could handle these dishes with his well-developed body.
He hesitated for a long time, still undecided, and really didn't want to disappoint Li Shiyin's kindness, so he picked up a piece of charcoal beans and put it in the bowl, while asking: "What are your beans?"
How did you fry it? I remember there were no beans. "
"Yes! There are still a lot." Li Shiyin took a handful of beans and gestured to him.
Qin Ran took a look and looked up at the sky in silence.
Many vegetables from his previous life do not exist in this world, so he is trying to cultivate them himself... For example, the beans in Li Shiyin's hand are the seeds he uses to cultivate peas.
"Where did it come from?" He remembered that he hid it very well.
"In the refrigerator!" Li Shiyin replied.
Oh, I remembered. He put it in the refrigerator and planned to cultivate it after the artificial lake was dug.
Yes, it was his own fault, he comforted himself in his heart.
"Where's the meat?" he asked again. Although the meat was bleeding, it was actually crystal clear and full of spiritual energy.
"Didn't you stew a meat soup yesterday? This is made with the leftover meat from yesterday." Li Shiyin replied.
The meat from yesterday was the meat of a spirit beast that was specially used to nourish the body, and was specially used to strengthen the physique of the foolish disciple...
The most important thing is that the meat is very expensive. It costs about ten spirit stones per pound.
Looking at the meat on the plate, Qin Ran felt that the blood on the meat was dripping from his heart.
"Where's the soup?" he asked finally. "Where's the egg?"
But he asked without waiting for Li Shiyin to answer, as he remembered the spirit beast eggs that cost twenty spirit stones each, so he quickly raised his hand to stop Li Shiyin from speaking any further.
Qin Ran silently put down his bowl and chopsticks, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, looked up at the ceiling to prevent his tears from falling, then stood up and walked out step by step.
"Master, don't you want to try it?" Li Shiyin asked from behind.
Qin Ran pretended not to hear, but quietly quickened his pace.
When he got outside, Qin Ran took a chair and lay down, looking at the stars in the sky. He felt very disappointed. His own food...
After a while, a scream of "Ah" was heard from inside the house, followed by the sound of Li Shiyin's footsteps running out.
"Master..." She sat down on the grass beside her and said sadly, "It tastes so bad!"
Qin Ran wanted to cry but had no tears, but he still comforted her: "Give it to Zhuifeng! Maybe Zhuifeng likes it."
Zhuifeng, a white creature with black patterns, was quite human-like. Upon hearing that he was going to be fed, he let go of the grass that he had tortured, came over happily, and rubbed Qin Ran's trouser leg affectionately.
Poor Zhuifeng, he doesn’t know what he will face.
