The old man did not get out of his meditative state even after noticing Lith and Fei.
Fei had her cultivation covered for obvious reasons, and Lith didn't intend to hide himself, so let his aura run freely.
The boy was gone from the area after bringing Lith to the old man.
Instead of conversing with the old man, Lith felt it was better to have his cooking do the talking.
Lith stomped on the ground, and three rectangular tables arranged in a U-shape were formed.
"Sit there for a while and watch."
Lith stomped on the ground again and a square pillar half the height of Fei rose up. It was an impromptu stool to sit upon.
Fei sat there quietly and watched whatever her Master was doing.
Lith had all the necessary ingredients within his ring.
His ring was so big that there were sections within it. One section contained books, one had weapons, one had cooking ingredients, and so on and so forth.
