The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 13 The Most Hardworking Director
Chapter 13: Chapter 13 The Most Hardworking Director
"The Red Roaring Tiger bloodline in the Fierce Beast is so thin, will the catnip still be effective on it?"
Changtian was confident: "It definitely will be. Though the bloodline of the Fierce Beast is thin, its beastly nature exceeds its spirituality, making it even more infatuated with catnip."
Ning Xiaoxian knew about catnip; on Earth people use it to amuse cats. Unexpectedly, here its effect on the feline family is amplified manyfold. It must be said, the Immortal World is truly insane.
Under Changtian's guidance, she collected quite some catnip from the mountains near Shallow Water Village. This vine plant is not hard to identify; it is tall with broad oval-shaped leaves blooming with white flowers.
The finer work that followed was all done by Changtian.
He repeatedly refined and condensed the fragrance from the leaves and stems of the catnip until over a hundred plants were used up, creating a concentrate that was over a hundred times more effective than the original.

Then he casually made an ice sphere and placed the catnip concentrate inside it.
As per Ning Xiaoxian's instructions, she had to circle around in front of everyone by 3 p.m. the day before at the latest, to provide a solid alibi. Therefore, this ice sphere needed to withstand harsh summer heat and firmly protect the concentrate for two hours, only melting at the transition between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
It must be said, Changtian's magical skills are indeed refined to perfection, the timing of the ice sphere melting was precisely controlled, almost miraculously so.
While he was doing all this, Ning Xiaoxian stood by with her hands propping her chin, watching the performance. She truly felt that compared to Changtian's seamless and flowing movements, even the showmanship of French chefs doing teppanyaki live seemed utterly inferior!
The next task was to place the ice sphere inside that poor Layered Pearl Gauze Pink Silk Skirt. The news that Mei Wanting had ordered this skirt for the Chaoyun Sect was known half a month ago from the laundry, indeed, this was the basis for her entire plan.
Yesterday afternoon, when the maids hung the skirt outside, Ning Xiaoxian seized a moment when no one was around and stealthily hung the ice sphere inside it. This item was Miss Mei's treasure; who would touch it for no reason? Hence, the ice sphere stayed securely inside the skirt until after sunset when it gradually melted.
Ning Xiaoxian knew that the last cleaning by the servant women was just before or around dusk. By then, the ice sphere had melted into water, and the scent of catnip had spread far and wide.
The beauty of it was that only feline animals could smell this scent; humans were completely clueless. In the entire Chi Xiao Sect, only one Fierce Beast smelled the scent of catnip, and it was a hundred times concentrated!
Being just a low-level demon, how could it resist the burning desire coursing through its veins? It was like an addict unable to resist the allure of drugs or marijuana.
Thus, it effortlessly broke free from its chains, snuck to the outside of the laundry at night, snatched the skirt, and took it back to its nest to cherish tenderly. If anyone tried to take it away, it would be like taking its life source. The hundredfold dose of catnip nearly drove it mad.
It acted as a thief within the time prescribed by Ning Xiaoxian, naturally, there were witnesses within this set timeframe.
Next, Ning Xiaoxian seized the opportunity and hung the Demon Eye on a branch outside the Fierce Beast Nest. At this moment, the beast could only see the catnip and posed no danger to her. When she heard the footsteps of the Chi Xiao Sect approaching, she disappeared into the God Demon Prison.
Next was the true performance of the Chi Xiao Sect people. Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian only needed to watch from the sidelines.
Actually, she was also somewhat dissatisfied. In order to arrange this grand play, she had racked her brains. However, because she didn't possess Divine Power, she missed out on witnessing the splendid performance inside the Fierce Beast Nest and outside the God Demon Prison!
The only person who could watch the live scene was Changtian! But he was not talkative, just kept his mouth shut and watched the show. Trying to get him to narrate was like pulling teeth, which frustrated her to no end. She cursed why the Demon Eye didn't have a recording feature!
She huffily said that once she obtained Divine Power, the first magic technique she would learn was how to manipulate the Demon Eye. Of course, she had some tricks up her sleeve, considering the video function of the Demon Eye was double-sided, well, you know.
Changtian also felt aggrieved, feeling that he had spoken more in this half an hour than in thousands of years! But since he was the only one who could see the situation outside, and this maid over here had a keen perception, fearing he would get thirsty from talking, she often diligently offered him water with a nodding and smiling demeanor, how could he refuse?
Actually, a trace of curiosity also arose in his heart. The Ba Snake was extremely powerful; over the past tens of thousands of years, he fought openly and righteously. The saying 'one strength subdues ten skills' applied to him who possessed absolute power; why would he need to exhaust all his strategies in planning and layout? Now, watching this maid's cautious and strategic approach, he found it rather interesting.
===================
Having completed her revenge plan, Ning Xiaoxian felt a wave of relief. The heavy guilt weighing on her heart could finally be somewhat alleviated.
She was very self-aware that she couldn't yet move against Huo Zhenghua, and teaching him a lesson was enough. He didn't deserve death since Dahu would recover from his injuries in three or four months.
He broke Dahu's leg, and she took away his spirit beast, which accounted for two to three hundred years of his cultivation. It was fair. In fact, she came out ahead.
Having realized this, she doubled her enthusiasm for cooking. By now, the guests from the Chaoyun Sect have arrived at the Main Peak, and outside, laughter and conversation filled the air. Even the servants in the kitchen kept peering out. Occasionally, one or two maids who had seen the distinguished guests came in to fetch tea and described the Chaoyun Sect's handsome men in glowing terms. Only she remained unmoved, earnestly cooking while her gaze inwardly focused — after all, no matter how lively it was outside, it had nothing to do with her; she was merely a cook here.
Little did she know, Elder Shan secretly admired her. In his heart, he praised the young girl for her composure, far exceeding many adults. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, who wouldn't be excited about the young and handsome Quan Shifang coming? Who could remain this calm?
Unfortunately, Elder Shan didn't realize that Ning Xiaoxian wasn't indifferent to handsome men; she had an unparalleled handsome man right in her God Demon Prison. Could Quan Shifang be more handsome or stylish than Changtian? She didn't believe it!
Moreover, she now needed to focus on ensuring her personal safety after leaving Shallow Water Village. The Westward Journey was fraught with dangers, and she had to find a way to survive and reach her destination. Compared to her life and well-being, handsome men were merely an external affair, and naturally, were something she could afford to overlook.
As noon approached, she sped up her cooking pace.
