"Do you need help?" Jing Xing asked quickly when he saw two people busy making soup.

"Yes!" Qin Zhen said without any hesitation.

"What do you want me to do?"

"We don't have enough soup bowls. Please help!"

After all, they had just prepared a banquet, and all the usable containers were used, even the various containers that Elder Mu used to store medicinal materials were taken out.

But they were so excited that they just started making soup and completely forgot about this matter.

"Is this okay?"

Jingxing chose a colorful glazed basin, which even had a strong spiritual energy.

"No."

Qin Zhen took the time to glance at it out of the corner of her eye and immediately denied it.

However, when Xiang Qing saw this, his eyes began to light up.

"I need an ordinary container, so that the aura of the container itself won't interfere with my judgment of the ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Jingxing suddenly fell silent.

Qin Zhen was a little puzzled: "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

Jing Xing looked at Qin Zhen with some embarrassment, and slowly said: "I don't have an ordinary container."

Qin Zhen: “?”

Isn't this the most common thing? Why is it missing?

Qin Zhen's gaze subconsciously fell on the omnipotent senior brother Huai Xu.

As a result, she saw Huaixu making the same embarrassed expression as Jingxing.

A bad premonition came to my mind: "Big Brother, you don't have it either?"

Huai Xu asked seriously, "Is it okay if there is no spiritual energy but it is a pure gold basin?"

"What basin?"

For some reason, Qin Zhen always felt that the basin Huai Xu was talking about was not the same as the soup basin she imagined.

Sure enough, the next second, she heard Huai Xu slowly answer:

"The basin I usually use to wash my hands."

Qin Zhen: “…”

Stop talking, or she'll get jealous.

Xiang Qing was already standing beside him with red eyes due to envy.

“Some people have golden basins for washing their hands, while others don’t even have a basin for washing their faces!”

She always just does a cleansing trick and that's it.

Huai Xu looked at Xiang Qing and said slowly, "If you like, I'll give you one."

Xiang Qing smiled like a flower instantly, but soon she sighed:

"For now, I'd rather not. Whenever I get unexpected money, my luck tends to get really bad."

Now is the critical stage for breaking through the realm, and she cannot let "luck" affect her advancement.

"Senior Sister, do you have it?" Jing Xing asked Xiang Qing on behalf of Qin Zhen.

As a result, Xiang Qing also showed the same embarrassed expression.

Qin Zhen was almost shocked: "Senior Sister, you don't have it either?"

She thought Xiang Qing might be the one who could help her the most.

Xiang Qing scratched his head when he heard this, seeming a little embarrassed: "I am just unlucky. All the cups and basins I had were broken a long time ago. Now I even have to go to Master to get tea. Oh, by the way, it seems that my teacup was specially forged by Master with some metal."

Qin Zhen: "...It's not easy for you either."

"I'll go ask Fu Yao to borrow it?" Mu Guiyi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a very beautiful hand suddenly stretched out in front of Qin Zhen, and in that hand, there was a blue and white porcelain soup bowl.

“This is great!”

Qin Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up. She raised her head along the hand and saw Ning Po's handsome face.

"Thank you, Third Brother."

Qin Zhen didn't care about Ning Po's expressionless face at all and gave him a bright smile.

"It doesn't matter."

After Ning Po finished speaking, he put the bowl of soup in Qin Zhen's hand and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Zhen hurriedly stuffed the bowl of soup into Elder Mu's arms, and then grabbed Ning Po's sleeve.

"Now that you're here, Third Brother, why don't you stay and have something to eat before you leave?"

"I'm not hungry." Ning Po shook his head.

"Food is not just for filling your stomach. If you are frustrated that you are not making any progress in your practice, why not sit down and relax? Maybe you will suddenly have some inspiration."

Ning Po was silent for a moment after hearing this.

But everyone knew that since he chose to come out, he must have encountered some bottleneck in his cultivation, so he tried to find a way to break through.

In fact, they really wanted to ask what his bottleneck was and whether they could help.

However, as senior brothers and sisters, or even elders, their questions, even if they were asked out of concern, still sounded a bit "superior", which might put Ning Po under even greater pressure.

So, they hoped that Ning Po could stay and finish the meal.

As long as he stays, it will be considered that he has taken the first step.

Then, they are willing to complete the remaining ninety-nine steps and try their best to help him break through this bottleneck.

Ning Po subconsciously looked at everyone, but everyone tacitly avoided looking at him.

Because they knew that only when their attention was not focused on Ning Po would he feel more at ease.

In fact, Ning Po had not noticed everyone's silent and hidden consideration before, but now -

After going through so much with everyone, he seemed to be able to detect these small kindnesses.

"……it is good."

"Little Junior Brother, come here. Little Junior Sister and Elder Mu have prepared a lot of dishes. Look, there are notes with the effects written on the table. Eat whatever you need. Of course, you can also eat whatever you like."

Xiang Qing has always been an active and enthusiastic person. Upon seeing this, he stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into Ning Po's hands.

Jing Xing saw that Ning Po was a little uncomfortable with this excessive enthusiasm, and shook his head slightly at Xiang Qing.

Then the two of them, one took two steps forward and the other took two steps back, quickly completing the silent exchange of positions.

"After eating, are you interested in fighting with me?" Jingxing asked casually.

Ning Po looked up at Jing Xing in surprise and asked, "Why?"

"Just consider it a favor. I want to know what my current strength is."

"...Your current realm is far beyond mine."

Jing Xing admitted it very frankly: "Indeed, but when it comes to clean, sharp and merciless killing moves, you are better than everyone else."

Ning Po is different from other cultivators. He takes the path of "proving the truth through killing".

His moves were plain and simple, even the most basic ones, but each one was deadly.

From strength to reaction, he is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

Every kill was nourishment for Ning Po, supporting him to where he is today.

If he had lost any of the games, he might not be able to stand here.

Therefore, although Ning Po's realm is not higher than the others, it is only the Jindan stage, but Jingxing knows that it is only cultivation, not strength.

"can."

"The soup is here."

Qin Zhen's cheerful voice interrupted the conversation between the two people.

A simple jade soup was served in a blue and white porcelain soup bowl.
