[The Unclouded Soul]

[Episode 13]

This flower sea
has been the final resting place

for women of the Realm of Mist and Void
for thousands of years.

You and I will eventually
become part of this soil.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

Watering like this,

when will I ever finish?

It's like a bottomless pit.

Today is the day of the trial.

Why are you still here watering flowers?

I didn't know.

No one told me.

How dare they defy
Immortal Lord's wishes?

Come with me.

[Harmony of the Five Flavors]

What are all these?

What are these things?

They don't even look tasty.

How can anyone swallow these?

Follow me.

I can't eat these.

So many ingredients.

Could it be that Immortal Lord
is preparing a welcome feast for us?

These dishes are too ordinary.

Not as exquisite
as what my family's cook prepares.

Indeed.

You young ladies from official families,

fed with the finest delicacies
since childhood,

yet all talk and no skill.

I explained to everyone yesterday.

The immortal realm protects women,

but it's not a place
where you get something for nothing.

Before you arrived,

the women in the immortal realm

had all experienced abandonment

or suffered abuse in the human realm.

Immortal Lord is kind-hearted,

so she allowed them all to stay.

They all managed households
to some extent in the past,

so they're quite skilled in cooking.

The only difference is,

they did it for unworthy men before,

but now,

they do it all for themselves.

Today's trial is cooking.

If you don't put in the effort,

you won't have a chance to stay.

But at home,

our parents never taught us how to cook.

That's right.

Cooking?

Isn't that what servants do?

Exactly.

That's right.

Then you'll have to fend for yourselves.

If you really can't cook,

you can give up now.

We're doomed.

This has just begun,

and you're out.

What's wrong with you?

Don't get discouraged before I even start.

It's true, though.

You only know how to eat,

not how to cook.

You talk too much.

We'll find out

once I try.

I mean everyone should do their best.

If you don't know how,
you'll learn by trying.

Easier said than done.

Exactly.

What if

we fail to pass the trial?

What happens then?

If you fail,

you'll find out naturally.

Now, I'll announce the trial rules.

First,

everyone must announce
the dish they want to make.

Once a dish is claimed,

others can't repeat it.

Second, as you can all see,

all ingredients are already on the table.

Those who announce their dishes first
get to choose first.

First come, first served.

When the measuring scale fully rises,

those who haven't completed their dishes

or have failed during the process

will all be eliminated.

Dishes completed within the time limit

will be judged by Linghua Palace.

Now announce your dishes.

One dish per person,

no repetitions allowed.

-I'll make flower pastry.
-I'll make flower pastry.

Dali, it's really delicious.

It smells wonderful.

This is Xiao Yao's flower pastry

made with withered petals.

How does it taste?

Delicious.

Tasty.

Ms. Fairy,

I said it first

just now.

I heard you.

You said it first.

Go get your ingredients.

Okay.

Ms. Fairy,

I need osmanthus sugar, black sesame,

and some flower petals.

Take them yourself.

Thank you.

Next.

I want to make Egg Custard.

I want to make Scrambled Eggs with Shrimp.

I'm sorry. I accidentally spilled the egg.

Please forgive me.

Go away.

I want to make
Braised Chicken with Bamboo Shoots.

That's enough.

If you leave others with no way out,

you're also heading
toward your own destruction.

Go away.

Yes.

I was the first
to claim the Sweet and Sour Carp.

Everything is mine!

Can't you let me have this for once?

What are you doing?

Our fathers have the same official rank.

Why should I give it to you?

I got to choose first!

You're being unreasonable!

Ms. Fairy, can I make fried rice?

Pei, I want to make stir-fried cabbage.

Vinegar cabbage.

You've killed this fish!

You were the one
who pressed too hard first!

This is my cabbage!

This is mine! Give it to me!

I got it first!

Give me back my cabbage!

Everyone, go to your assigned stoves.

If you use the wrong stove,

the credit will go to someone else.

You, have you decided what to make?

I...

Topping Noodles. Topping Noodles.

I don't know how to make it.

I do.

Hurry up and say it,

or we'll be eliminated.

I'll make Topping Noodles.

Eel.

I need eel.

Fresh shrimp.

Fresh shrimp.

And flour.

And flour.

You're lucky.

We have all the ingredients you asked for.

Good, good.

[Kitchen B Stove 2] [Kitchen B Stove 1]

[Kitchen C Stove 1] [Kitchen C Stove 2]

Switch stoves with me,

and I'll give you a gold bracelet later.

You know, without ginger,

it just won't have the right flavor.

Meat tastes better. I'll make a meat dish.

Should I stir-fry everything together?

Don't blame me.

Don't blame me.

You...

A bunch of useless people.

Get out of here, all of you!

Next batch!

[Kitchen B Stove 3]

What are you doing?

If you dare ruin my dish,

I'll never forgive you.

-What are you doing?
-Don't move.

I will definitely win.

I must stay here.

So,

you're willing
to throw away our friendship?

You say we're friends,

but we have never

been treated as equals.

After you came to Demons' Valley,

in just a few days,

you made all the minor demons adore you.

Even His Lordship

has opened his heart to you completely.

But me?

As a peony that should have reigned
supreme among all flowers,

I've never been seen by anyone.

You call me and Luoluo your friends,

only because we're not as clever as you,

not as cunning as you.

Does our existence

serve only to satisfy
your sense of superiority?

Why?

Why do humans and demons pamper you?

Why can everyone only see you?

We're not friends anymore.

Immortal Lord only likes flowers
without green leaves.

So do I.

No one is willing to be just a leaf.

Xiao Yao,

no time for sentimentality now.

I have Hong Ye's memories
of learning to make Topping Noodles.

Open your eyes wide and watch carefully.

Are you ready?

I'm ready. What's next?

Slice the eel.

The eel.

How do I cut it?

Hold down the head.

Put it on the cutting board.

Use the knife

to split its body.

Like this.

Use a smaller one.

And then?

Slice it up.

Good. That's enough.

Heat the wok and add oil.

Heat the wok and add oil.

Oil.

Coat the eel in batter.

What does that mean?

It means putting the eel

into the batter.

Eel.

Batter.

Add some batter.

Add some water.

Too much water. Add more batter.

If you don't add the eel soon,

the wok will burn.

Right away. Right away.

Fry the eel
until the batter forms a crust.

Crust? What does that mean?

It means it gets hard.

When it hardens, that's the crust.

It's hardened now.

What next?

Take it out.

It actually looks pretty good.

Are the side ingredients ready?

Shrimp.

Only shrimp?

No green onions?

Put in the eel and shrimp.

When do I add this ginger?

Did you forget?

Well...

It's up to you.

Then I will

add 2 pieces.

Is the sauce ready?

Coming right up.

Sauce.

Who are you talking to?

Soy sauce, cooking wine.

Two spoonfuls.

Sugar.

Pepper.

Salt.

The wok is about to burn.

Don't rush me. Coming right away.

Water.

Don't add water! It will splatter!

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

What should we do, Little Leaf?

Even if Hong Ye were here,

he couldn't help now.

I have an idea.

What idea?

I'll make them

something different.

Here's a bracelet.

Please, let's switch our dishes.

Time's up.

My hands are burning red!

Stop now.

Such humble food.

I can't believe you came up with this.

Immortal masters

are used to all kinds of delicacies.

But ordinary people
often have only a bowl of plain noodles.

Immortal Lord has great compassion

and created the Realm of Mist and Void
for suffering women.

Surely she's always cherished a heart
that stands for equality for all,

frugality in governance,
and love for the people.

And this bowl of noodles

is exactly what you would find

on every commoner's table.

Sharp-tongued.

Let's see if that silver tongue of yours

can really save your life.

[Harmony of the Five Flavors]

The tasting results are out.

Those whose dishes are called,

please step forward.

Flower pastry.

Cherry Pork.

[Harmony of the Five Flavors]

Golden Jade Abundance.

Flower-Cut Mandarin Fish.

Phoenix-Tail Shrimp.

Lotus Pod-Shaped Tofu.

[Harmony of the Five Flavors]

Guinea Fowl.

Stewed Chicken with Bird-Shaped Dumplings.

Shark's Fin with Scrambled Egg Yolk.

Yangchun Noodles.

All of you,

[Harmony of the Five Flavors]

follow me to Linghua Palace.

Ms. Fairy,

please give me one more chance.

Ms. Fairy,

I made Sweet and Sour Carp.

Ms. Fairy, please take me in.

I would die for Dreamshard Immortal.

Are you that desperate
to stay in the Realm of Mist and Void?

-Yes.
-Yes.

But the Realm of Mist and Void
never keeps idle people.

Since you're so eager to stay,

I'll grant you the fate
of becoming flowers.

Flowers?

Women

are meant to be cherished like flowers.

Among today's dishes,

the Yangchun Noodles
stand out as the best.

Who made them?

Who made the Yangchun Noodles?

Step forward to answer.

Immortal Lord, I made them.

Where did you learn

to make noodles like this?

More than 10 years ago,

my father suddenly fell very ill.

He was bedridden for days.

So I tried to cook like he usually did

and made a bowl of noodles.

He said wild green onions
enhance the flavor,

so I sprinkled some in the noodles.

After he finished eating,

he was already much better.

Years later, he would still say

it was the best thing he had ever eaten,

because it was filled with sincerity.

Today,

I bring the same sincerity
as I did back then

to make this bowl of noodles for you.

Not only are your noodles excellent,

but you also tell a good story.

No wonder Hong Ye

cherishes you so much.

Then who made these flower pastries?

Immortal Lord, I made them.

Flower Demon,

I didn't expect you to have real skills.

You weren't exaggerating.

Thank you for your recognition.

With your talents,

you may continue to stay
in the Realm of Mist and Void.

However,

if you wish to cultivate
the art of eternal youth,

you must undergo the next trial.

Zhirui,

take them downstairs first.

For the next trial,

you can devise something interesting.

Yes, Immortal Lord.

This Heart-Devouring Poison

was refined
by Immortal Lord over 100 years.

Be it humans or demons,

within 7 days of being poisoned,

all will lose their minds
and become like puppets.

But you've endured it for a month.

That's truly unprecedented.

What's wrong with being a puppet?

No heart,

no pain.

Fighting against Immortal Lord

won't change the final outcome anyway.

I once gathered all the fragments
of the Kunlun Mirror,

but I gave them to humans,

causing demons to be slaughtered

and bringing calamity for centuries.

I deserve this torment.

But if you want me to abandon my mind

and live without emotions or love,

even if I'm shattered to pieces,

I will never submit.

You've lived in this world
for thousands of years.

You should know
how fickle humans are

and how unpredictable human nature is.

Only by letting go of desires

and focusing on cultivation
can you achieve true enlightenment.

Yet you keep giving your
devoted heart to humans.

Haven't you been betrayed enough already?

If it's true love,

it's worth starting over.

I can see

you truly care for Xiao Yao.

But in this Realm of Mist and Void,

you must do some things
for Immortal Lord,

so that Xiao Yao can have an easier time.

What do you want me to do?

Immortal Lord's demonic power

requires large amounts of human essence.

You can help Immortal Lord

by bringing more mortal women here.

She would be pleased then.

I promised Xiao Yao

I wouldn't harm innocent people.

Then do you know

what humans are thinking,

who are desperately seeking
the celestial mountain

on the ships in this sea?

Find the celestial mountain,

drink from the Yuli Spring,

and finally kill you
and your demon people.

Their hearts have been consumed by greed.

You can just let them
fulfill their dreams here.

And what's wrong with that?

You don't know, do you?

The ones who led these people
into the Realm of Mist and Void

were themselves.

The reason Immortal Lord sets up

trials in the Realm of Mist and Void

is to give these humans

a chance for survival.

She hopes they can understand
the preciousness of life

and no longer be controlled by greed.

Unfortunately,

they all chose to stay.

I won't force you.

If you change your mind,

I'll open this dungeon barrier

and let you out.

So you can see those

who are controlled by greed.

But if they insist on coming here,

I ask you

to guide them a little.

What's wrong?

I'm freezing.

I'm freezing to death.

The sun is so bright right now.

How can you be cold?

I don't know.

I just feel cold.

Could Hong Ye be suffering
from extreme cold right now?

How would I know?

Come here.

Let me warm you up.

How's that?

For plants,

as long as their roots are healthy,

they will be fine.

You know quite a lot.

Dali told me this before.

May the heavens take pity on us

and guide us
to find the celestial mountain!

The heavens take pity on you?

Your desires
will only harm you in the end.

Get out of here now.

Steady your minds!

This is test

from the immortal!

Northeast position!

We offer our sincerity to the vast sea!

Immortal, please

show us the direction!

The celestial mountain
is not meant for mortal eyes.

Our fellow disciple

gave her life to help us on our journey.

We can't let her life be in vain.

For immortality,

you would actually
sacrifice your companion.

We beg you to show us the way!

If you drink from the Yuli Spring,

you will no longer have emotions

and no longer have a true heart.

Do you still want that?

We offer our blood to the vast sea!

We beg you to guide us to Penglang!

If only one person

can survive to follow me
to the celestial mountain,

do you still want that?

Your greed is bottomless.

Stop it, all of you!

Today, I will grant your wish.

Why are you always so fresh and dewy

without being watered?

Where did you get the dew?

This must be the celestial mountain.

Celestial mountain.

Yuli Spring.

Where is the Yuli Spring?

Thank you, Exalted Immortal,
for your favor.

To reach the celestial mountain
in this lifetime,

any suffering is worth it.

You must be an immortal.

But looking at you,

you don't seem much different
from us mortals.

Do not be disrespectful
to the immortal maiden.

Yes.

May I ask, where is the Yuli Spring?

After you drink from the Yuli Spring,

you will no longer have feelings

or a true heart.

Do you still want that?

Why are you saying the same things
as the immortal we met earlier?

For the sake of immortality,

everything in the world can be abandoned.

Yes.

We hope you will help us.

Which immortal did you just mention?

He wore red and white robes,

handsome and elegant,

clearly someone from an immortal sect.

Did he bring you here?

Yes, indeed.

Sect Leader.

Look at her attire.

She's just a servant at most.

It's pointless to ask her.

The true immortals are coming!

They are indeed immortals.

They are immortals.

Immortals!

-Immortals!
-Immortals!

Welcome everyone
to the Realm of Mist and Void.

Is this Realm of Mist and Void
the same as Penglang?

So you are immortal ladies?

We are merely disciples
of Dreamshard Immortal.

If you are fated to stay,

we shall all address
each other as sisters.

Sisters.

Follow me.

-Great.
-Let's go.

Hurry.

Go.

Go.

Go. Go.

Let's go.

This situation

repeats in the Realm of Mist and Void.

This place was once just
a small flower bed.

But now,

it has transformed into a vast flower sea.

And within the roots of each flower

lies buried the desires of each person.

Generation after generation,

they come one after another.

You want to stop it,

but are you capable?

[Lovely and intelligent]

Xiao Yao performed excellently

in her first trial.

Immortal Lord
is quite impressed with her.

If you stop being stubborn,

she won't need to participate
in the second trial.

She can accompany Immortal Lord

and share immortality with her.

This second trial

is different from the previous one

and much more dangerous.

I know.

You refuse to let the poison
control your mind

because you still care for Xiao Yao.

But if you insist on
defying Immortal Lord,

causing her
to take her anger out on Xiao Yao,

wouldn't that go against
your true intentions?

Don't you want

to protect the one you love?

Right now, you can move freely,

only because Immortal Lord
hasn't activated the poison.

The agony of the poison

is something
you've already experienced deeply.

Why not join with Xiao Yao

and willingly become part
of my Realm of Mist and Void?

Let me go back.

Hong Ye is truly stubborn.

And Xiao Yao has such a sharp tongue.

If they really stay
by Immortal Lord's side,

it will be trouble for everyone.

We might as well
take advantage of the trial

and get rid of them early.

You're telling me all this

because you want me
to report to Immortal Lord?

I wouldn't dare.

But seeing how ambitious Xiao Yao is,

aren't you afraid that if she stays,

she'll usurp your position?

Pei.

Your tone now

is becoming
more and more like Ying Ning's.

Please don't talk nonsense.

What I just said

was for everyone's benefit.

It was for yourself.

That's the truth.

Congratulations to you.

What is there to congratulate?

You've worked so hard
for the Realm of Mist and Void,

and your loyalty
to Immortal Lord is evident.

Immortal Lord is considerate

and ordered me
to give this immortal dew balm to you.

Apply it day and night,

and the scars on your face will disappear.

Then

I must thank you, Zhirui.

With Immortal Lord's immortal dew,

your beauty will surpass what it once was.

I will thank

Immortal Lord in person.

Immortal Lord
is protecting her so much.

Won't she walk all over us from now on?

We'll see about that.

Are you angry with Hong Ye?

He didn't talk to you today

because Dreamshard's confidant
was right beside him.

He did this

to protect you.

Can you sense

what Hong Ye is doing right now?

I don't know.

Then what can you do?

I can summon Hong Ye's true self

to be with you for a moment.

Don't believe me?

But my spiritual power
can only sustain it briefly.

His true form can't come here.

Only his primordial spirit
can be summoned.

Then cast your spell.

Cast it now. Cast it now.

Watch carefully.

Xiao Yao.

Hong Ye.

I've disappointed you.

This is my primordial spirit.

Do you blame me?

What would I blame you for?

Should I blame you

for leading humans to this island

or blame you

for looking so haggard

for suffering the pain
of Heart-Devouring Poison alone?

The poison hasn't been activated yet,

so I'm fine for now.

I didn't speak to you during the day,

but that wasn't my intention.

If I show you any extra attention,

it gives them reason to cause trouble.

I don't want you to be harmed in any way.

Dreamshard Immortal

keeps claiming
that human nature is greedy.

I went to the sea

to stop humans from coming to the island.

But their obsession with immortality

made them stubborn.

I couldn't change anything.

I understand.

I understand you have many constraints.

You've been through a lot.

You spend your days

watering flowers in this flower sea,

working hard and getting tired.

Though I can't always be with you,

at least Little Leaf is here

to take care of you for me,

which gives me peace of mind.

Stretch out your hand.

The second trial

is extremely dangerous.

If you participate,

you must be careful at every step.

Hong Ye.

Hong Ye!
