“Sect Master, I’m hungry.”Xiaohua saw that Chen Muxue had not moved for a long time, so she approached her and tugged her sleeve.

Chen Muxue bent down and took down Xiaohua’s basket. She smiled and coaxed her, “Okay, I’ll go and cook now. Let Brother Xiaohu wash your hands, okay? Xiaohua has become a little cat.”

After Xiaohu pulled Xiaohua away, Chen Muxue took a look at Xiaohua’s basket and mumbled, “Oh well. Xiaohua is definitely not a child of a farmer. There are only a few edible plants in the basket.”

Fortunately, although immortal cultivation could be done in this world, the background was based on the ancient times of her original world. If it were a magical continent, she probably wouldn’t know anything that could be eaten.

After throwing away the inedible grass, Chen Muxue took the small basket and entered the Heavenly Cauldron Sect.

She didn’t see one of the blades of grass flash on the ground and then melt into the soil.

Although the Heavenly Cauldron Sect was called a sect, it was actually just a small courtyard built on a mountain, so Chen Muxue found the kitchen very quickly.

Chen Muxue looked around and found two clay pots. One of them seemed to have been broken not long ago. She placed the iron pot that she had been holding onto on the stove.

There were several rice jars. She found the jar that contained rice, but there was not much left.

She used a clay pot to wash the rice, but she realized that there was no water tank in the kitchen.

After a moment of silence, Chen Muxue recalled that she had a water spiritual root.

‘How to use it?’ Chen Muxue tested the waters. As if she was casting a spell, she used her finger as a wand and mumbled, “Balala energy water!”

There was no response.

Although nothing happened, Chen Muxue suddenly felt a burning sensation on her little finger. She had scalded her little finger before she transmigrated here.

Chen Muxue hesitated. She changed her index finger, which was pretending to be a wand, to her pinky finger. This was a slightly insulting gesture, but it was more playful than the middle finger.

“Uh, water!”

There was actually a clear stream flowing out from her little finger!

Chen Muxue seemed to have sensed something. She had an idea, and the temperature of the water started to rise!

This was strange. Other people used some kind of system to transmigrate, but her transmigration really gave her a “golden finger”?

“Do you guys think the sect master is going to cook wild vegetables in salt water again today?”

In the dining hall, a few malnourished turnips gathered together and whispered.

Xiaohua frowned and stuck out her tongue. “Ah, it’s so, so bitter.”

Dagui’s eyes rolled a few times as he said, “Brother Xiaohu, let the sect master go to town and buy something!”

Every time the sect master went to town, she would buy meat buns for them to eat.

Thinking of the sect master’s cooking, Xiaohu’s meatless face also scrunched up. “But I just asked the sect master to buy some spices not long ago, and there’s nothing in the sect that we’re lacking.”

It wasn’t easy to trick the sect master into buying spices. After all, the sect master only knew how to put salt in her cooking.

The children, who were still young and had not seen much of the world, were all frowning and could not think of what was necessary.

“Dagui, don’t come up with bad ideas all day long. The sect master has already worked hard for us. We have to spend money to buy things!” a dark-skinned and honest-looking child disagreed.

Dagui pouted. “I know we need to save money, but the sect master’s cooking just doesn’t taste good.”

The dark-skinned child was called Dafu. He and Dagui were brought back by the sect master at the same time. They were both children whose parents had passed away and had been sold by their uncle and aunt.

Although Dafu had been brought back with Dagui, he didn’t trust the latter. He felt that Dagui was too clever and not a down-to-earth person.

Xiaohua looked left and right. Seeing that everyone had their heads lowered and looked very depressed, she blinked her eyes. Xiaohua didn’t like it when everyone was unhappy.

Tilting her head, Xiaohua touched the red string on her neck and suddenly ran to the kitchen.

“Where are you going, Xiaohua?” Xiaohu asked.

Dagui snorted. “Why do you care so much? Anyway, Xiaohua won’t be scolded by the sect master no matter where she goes.”

Xiaohu touched his head and felt that Dagui was right, so he didn’t go after her.
