“Let’s rest here for a bit! See if there are any ingredients nearby—we can just gather some local produce to cook.” Song Lingbo surveyed the area, deciding to pause their journey here.
“Alright, you guys rest up. We’ll scout the surroundings,” Song Yihong said, gathering his two brothers and leading a couple of Jingwei guards to investigate nearby.
“Find a place to sit and rest. Drink water if you’re thirsty, but don’t wander off.” Song Mi’er instructed Hao’er and the others before approaching her father. With a bright smile, she asked, “Father, I heard there’s Black Awn Lingzhi in this forest. Is that true?”
Sitting beneath a tree, Song Lingbo glanced at her and replied, “I’ve never encountered one myself, but I’ve heard that the cultivator finds them here. Why do you ask?”
“I heard that these Black Awn Lingzhi gain sentience and can move on their own, so I’m curious! I wonder what they look like? Do they taste good?” She rested her chin in her hand, picturing ordinary lingzhi while imagining the black awn variety.
They say it’s a precious treasure with countless benefits. It’s just a pity she’d never seen one in her entire life.
Song Lingbo didn’t respond to her question. Instead, his gaze drifted toward the three children sitting in a circle. A complex expression flashed across his eyes as he asked, “Are all three of them that skilled?”
Caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic, Song Mi’er paused, following his gaze to see Hao’er and the others deep in conversation.
Seeing this, she smiled. “Yes! All three of them are quite skilled. Yun Chen stands out the most, but the other two aren’t half bad either. Father, don’t underestimate them!”
“Of course I won’t underestimate them. After all, their master…” His voice trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.
Over there, Hao’er and the others sat in a circle, deep in conversation.
“This place is a rare training ground. We haven’t had much chance to spar lately. Here, we can really let loose. How about this? Let’s have a contest. We’ll see who has the most fierce beast crystal cores when we leave.”
Hao’er spoke, glancing at his younger siblings and casting a sideways look toward Song Lingbo. “Unless absolutely necessary, do not summon your life-bound contract beasts.”
“Yes, we understand.” Muchen and Muyue nodded.
“And you,” Hao’er addressed Yue’er, “though you’re studying medicine, don’t let your combat skills grow rusty. This time, you’re forbidden from using potions against the fierce beast. Try to defeat it with your own strength.”
His sister’s interest in medicine was commendable, but he worried she might become overly reliant on potions. If she ever faced real combat, her fighting prowess might fall short.
“Mm-hmm, Yun Qi understands.” She responded with a cheerful smile.
Not long after, Song Yihong and the others returned. Some had gathered branches, others carried wild game, and a few had collected mushrooms.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you’re back!” Song Mi’er smiled as she stepped forward to help carry their belongings. Spotting the abundance of mushrooms, she exclaimed, ” “So many mushrooms!”
“Probably because it rained recently. That area has a lot of mushrooms growing.”
Song Yifan said, turning to Song Lingbo, “Father, we caught some wild game. After separating the meat from the bones, we’ll use the bones to make a broth. Then we’ll use that broth to poach the meat and mushrooms. It should be quite delicious.”
