Chapter 15: Become a matchmaker in the Jade Kitchen

In the ancient furnace of the Great Wilderness, Hua Tiandu's curled up body gradually stretched out, his tense body relaxed, his breathing became long, and the expression on his face returned to its usual calmness.

The fire spirit, who had been paying close attention to the situation inside the furnace, couldn't help but express his heartfelt admiration after observing Hua Tiandu's actions.

"Good boy! You accepted all the pain so quickly!"

"You are worthy of being the successor chosen by Master Pan Wu!"

He pointed at the ancient furnace, and the lid on top of the furnace immediately flew off, flipped several times in the air, and then completely stopped in the air.

Countless mists spread out from the furnace mouth, filling the hall and making the surrounding area look like a fairyland.

"Wow~"

Hua Tiandu nimbly jumped out of the furnace, took the underwear and Taoist robe thrown to him by the fire spirit, and put them on in time.

He walked barefoot on the obsidian tiles, feeling the coolness coming from the soles of his feet, and suddenly felt refreshed.

After being boiled in the furnace in an inhuman way, this feeling, which was very common in the past, actually gave him a sense of novelty.

Standing in the hall, Hua Tiandu took deep breaths repeatedly. With the exhalation of several waves of heat, his body temperature gradually dropped.

Having reached the state of divine transformation, he sensed the high temperature remaining in his body and immediately took the initiative to regulate various organs in his body to dissipate the remaining heat and restore his body to normal.

"How do you feel about this physical training?" The Fire Spirit asked with a smile, satisfaction in his eyes.

"I have endured a lot of pain, but I have also gained a lot." Hua Tiandu replied, "Mainly, I have a deeper understanding of the spirit, which has given me a better understanding of the secret realm of magical powers."

Speaking of the realm of magical powers, Huo Ling laughed and shook his head, saying: "The realm of magical powers is not so easy to break through. With your current cultivation, you still have a long way to go to reach the realm of magical powers."

He walked to the window, opened it, and let the mist in the room dissipate.

"Your mind has matured, and you are no longer afraid of terror, but your spirit still needs to be tempered, and your body has not yet been fully cultivated."

"Next, you don't need to worry about the cultivation of your physical body."

"Spiritual practice requires your unremitting efforts. When you have trained your mind to be tough and strong, to the point where you can ignore all kinds of terror and pain, and even life and death cannot shake your heart, then you can step into the secret realm of magical powers!"

Listening to the Fire Spirit's teachings, Hua Tiandu seemed to be thinking about something and replied yes.

While the two were exchanging their insights on cultivation, two shouts suddenly came from the outside world, one hard and the other soft.

"Brother Hua!"

"Brother Hua~"

Following the shouting, Hua Tiandu walked out of the attic, came to the yard and opened the gate.

"So it's you two."

He looked at Fang Wei and Song Fangfei standing outside the door and smiled.

"Why are you coming to visit me instead of going to practice?"

Looking at his senior brother who was barefoot and had a head full of white hair, Fang Wei's eyes flashed with thought.

Song Fangfei was much more direct. She explained, "Senior Brother Fang and I were just about to go to the Jade Dining Hall. But when we passed by Senior Brother Hua's door, we saw a mist rising up in the courtyard, so we came over to check out the situation."

"That mist is the remnant produced when I was practicing body-refining techniques. There's nothing strange about it." Hua Tiandu said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Wei immediately understood.

There are also some body-refining methods in the Yuhua Sect, which require the use of earth fire and alchemy furnace to train the cultivator's body.

"Brother Hua, it's already noon, why don't you go to the Jade Kitchen with us for dinner?" Fang Wei invited.

Ever since his last trip to the underground world, he had seen that Brother Hua was a man who was not fussy about details and had a kind heart, so he had long wanted to make friends with him.

This time the timing was just right, so he immediately extended an invitation. "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go back and clean up." Hua Tian didn't refuse, he gave instructions and turned back to the attic.

He tidied up his clothes and appearance a little, then left the courtyard with his two companions and walked towards the Jade Kitchen.

The Jade Kitchen Hall is where hundreds of thousands of outer disciples of the Yuhua Sect eat. From the outside, it looks like a huge palace.

There were as many as three or four hundred thousand seats arranged in the palace, among which countless outer disciples were shuttling back and forth.

They gather in small groups of three or five, enjoying delicious food while discussing martial arts or anecdotes.

After entering the palace, Hua Tiandu took Fang Wei and Song Fangfei to find an empty square table and sat down together.

There are countless dining tables in the Jade Kitchen, of different sizes, all made of seabed agarwood, exuding a fresh fragrance that is refreshing.

There is a conspicuous large crystal pool next to the dining table, with flowing water in the pool and several koi swimming in the water.

The three people at the table were all familiar with Yushantang, so they started ordering food directly.

They drew a few paper sticks with the names of dishes printed on them from the white jade stick holder on the table and threw them into the crystal pool together.

After a while, a water lily as big as a washbasin floated on the bottom of the crystal pool.

Hua Tiandu reached out and picked up the water lily and placed it in the middle of the square table.

The petals of the water lily slowly opened, revealing five dishes, two soups, and three bowls of crystal clear rice inside.

The exquisite dishes, emitting steam and mixed with enticing aroma, drifted all around, arousing the appetite of the three people.

"Junior Brother Fang, Junior Sister Song, let's get started."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Hua."

"Haha, I've been hungry for a long time."

A quarter of an hour later, after the three of them had finished their meal, they sat down at the table to rest and chatted about their respective backgrounds.

Unlike Hua Tiandu, who came from a noble family of the Dayuan Dynasty, Fang Wei and Song Fangfei both came from small families.

However, it happened that Fang Wei and Song Fangfei had known each other since childhood, and later, they practiced martial arts in the same martial arts school.

"So, you two are childhood sweethearts." Hua Tiandu said jokingly with a smile on his face.

Facing his teasing, Fang Wei touched the back of his head and showed an honest smile, while Song Fangfei seemed a little shy.

Seeing the performance of these two people, Hua Tiandu immediately understood in his heart, "There is something going on between these two people. I'm afraid they have liked each other for a long time."

When he thought of this, Hua Tiandu began to think about bringing them together.

"Junior Brother Fang, Junior Sister Song, I wonder when I can drink in your wedding wine?" he asked with great interest.

Hearing this, Fang Wei was stunned, while Song Fangfei blushed.

She first stole a glance at Fang Wei beside her, and then, with a look of reproach on her face, she whispered, "Senior Brother Hua, you..."

The girl's thoughts were exposed, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say.

Helpless, she snorted angrily, stamped her feet, turned around and left.

"Junior Sister Song..." Fang Wei looked at the beautiful woman leaving and called out hurriedly, but got no response.

He looked at Hua Tiandu with an apologetic look on his face and said, "Brother Hua, I'm going to go see Junior Sister Song. I have to leave first."

Hua Tiandu certainly didn't blame him, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to me, just catch up. Remember to strike while the iron is hot."

Looking at the sensible senior brother in front of him, Fang Wei cupped his hands in gratitude. Before leaving, he whispered, "Brother, rest assured. When Junior Sister Song and I get married, I will definitely invite you to our wedding banquet."
