Using a Wok to Reorganize Life and Fly to Immortality

Chapter 60 - Crab Soup Dumpling and a Masking Elixir

The northern secret realm was desolate and more vast than the southern realm.

However, at this moment, Wei Shuang, sitting on the small bench with her knees bent, feels that the secret realm of the North was extremely narrow.

She looked in front of her. When Su Yu's vegetable ladle swung, full with a spoonful of the red-gold sauce, she couldn't look away.

The ice crab, which is also known as the king of the water, is the most vicious monster in the North Ice Soul Lake. However, at this moment, it was just looking delicious and mellow. Like the floating ice on the Ice Soul Lake, emerging and floating in front of her in the blink of an eye.

'Northern Secret Realm is too narrow.'

She couldn't help feeling this way.

Otherwise, why would she be surrounded by this rich crab fragrance, as if she was a crab herself?

Su Yu filled their small bowls with shiny crab butter.

The small pieces of crab roe and crab paste are piled up on the steaming noodles, delicate and plump.

After a while, the golden crab oil flowed into the gaps in the noodles. When you picked it up with a chopstick, you could see the essence of the crab that could not stay on the thin surface of the noodles and drip to the bottom of the bowl.

"Mix well before using." Su Yu smiled at Wei Shuang.

Her hand holding the silver chopsticks was steady and skillful. The tips of the chopsticks were neither light nor heavy, and she easily turned the pile of noodles from the bottom up a few times.

Suddenly, the snow-colored small bowl of noodles was dyed with even golden light. Each noodle was accompanied by a few pieces of crab roe and crab paste.

When you eat it in one bite, you can feel the mellow and silky smoothness of crab oil, the firmness and fullness of crab roe, and the softness and plumpness of crab paste.

The two sisters do not know left and right anymore.

They just inhaled like a whirlwind. The end of the noodles splashed on their lips. Golden crab oil stained their faces, but they didn't even bother to reach out and wipe it.

They opened their eyes and watched the golden noodles disappear one by one at the tips of their chopsticks.

They experience the sweetness that slowly emerges from the grainy texture of crab roe in their mouth as if being hit by golden magic weapons layer by layer. Then the refreshing essence of fresh and mellow taste hits their lips and teeth.

Pop—

The tips of their chopsticks touched the bottom of the small golden bowl at the same time.

'Empty.'

'No more.'

The two sisters were stunned.

Wei Shuang blushed.

She just said she would not take the pill and leave it for her senior sister... ah!

"I, I," the ice on the tip of Weishuang's nose was so hot that it was about to melt. There was a trace of ice mist in her eyes. "I'll just eat a bowl. I won't eat it later..."

She closed her eyes.

Immediately, she crossed her knees with guilt and shame, forcing herself to enter meditation. Sister Su Yu refined the golden crab butter noodle pill that was so delicious that her ice-element golden core would melt.

'Hey, blame this Wei Shuang for being too discerning. Senior Sister Su, whom I admire, is so amazing.'

No wonder they have to be fasting when they get started in cultivation. If everything in the world is so delicious, she will live in this secret realm. No, she will live in the old lair of ice crabs.

"Senior Sister Su, please don't give it to me again."

Wei Shuang closed her eyes.

"Okay." Su Yu nodded.

Master Su always respects the diners' freedom of meal distribution.

Soon, she placed a bamboo steamer in front of Wei Shuang's Senior Sister, Ling Shuang.

The moment the lid of the steamer was opened, the hot air condensed into plumes of white mist.

Senior Sister Ling Shuang bowed her head and saw about a dozen fat dumplings with thin skins like silk. You could see the small bun-shaped elixir with crystal clear soup inside.

Each elixir is as small as clear longan, but each has thirty-two pleats on it, which shows the meticulousness and skill of the creator.

There are three bright silver halos on each one.

Ling Shuang was startled.

The thin snow-colored skin at the bottom holds on tremblingly.

She was so nervous and quickly stretched out the small saucer in her right hand for fear that it would break in the middle!

This time she didn't need Su Yu's urging. She quickly bowed her head, and her red lips touched the edge of the silky thin skin.

A scorching heat hits her nostrils.

She and Wei Shuang are both ice-type golden core. If they feel a bit of heat, they immediately stop the gesture of swallowing and carefully take a light bite on the thin skin first.

In an instant, the scorching soup inside flowed down the crack and into her lips and teeth, making her gasp. And within this breath, the sweetness and mellowness of the Ice Soul Lake crab were domineering and continuously flowing for more!

It was rolling into her throat, rolling into her ice-like golden core. 

Her golden core, which clearly fell into a deep sleep after training, immediately trembled.

It seemed to be awakened by the deliciousness of this heat, and it started to operate slowly.

Ling Shuang was surprised.

"Little Junior Sister, don't be shy. Just try this..."

She turned around and said to Wei Shuang.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw her little junior sister, Wei Shuang, who had already opened her eyes, watching her desperately and swallowing.

Ling Shuang's hissing sound of sucking the soup made people greedy. It was impossible to enter into meditation at all.

Senior Sister Ling Shuang: "...It seems to have eased the drawbacks of our third-level practice."

She said this abruptly.

But after speaking, she immediately closed her eyes.

She seems to be in meditation, but it does not seem to be in meditation.

Because Ling Shuang was just staring forward, then she suddenly closed her eyes and stood up. She stood on the snow where they were resting at the moment, with her body sideways, one step and two steps... One step and two steps... She walked out sideways like the ice crab's pace...

Wei Shuang: "?"

"Could this be the fourth level of your practice, Walking On Thin Ice?" Yu Dong clasped the bead of his abacus with one hand and touched his chin.

Wei Shuang: ...

'Walking on thin ice can't be so ugly.'

But soon, the snow under Sister Ling Shuang's feet turned into ice.

Even the monsters hanging in the air had a thin layer of frost on their feet or under their claws. They were instantly imprisoned and could no longer struggle!

'Very strong.'

Wei Shuang opened her mouth in astonishment.

However, she was quickly scalded on the tip of her tongue by a mouthful of soup, and she bowed her head in shock.

"..."

'Drink! Why wouldn't I use Sister Su's crab pill?'

It is clear that it is good to eat.

But for a moment, she felt the delicate crab meat inside the thin skin, like eight light and flexible crab claws. She saw them move quickly and unhindered on the ice and snow.

'It turned out to be like this.' She couldn't help but stand up.

Her feet were dexterous, nimble, and drifted on the ice...

...

"Senior brother, I think we should not disturb Master Su."

Not far away, Xue Ning, who was secretly watching, quickly retracted her head that was about to move.

Master Su still favors her, Xue Ning, more.

She watched Wei Shuang move sideways with lingering fear.

Fortunately, the only side-effect Master Su gave her was hair shampoo.

'If this is not a favor...'

Hu Yuan was holding a folding fan gracefully, but he also closed his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

"Well, senior brother thinks so too."

"Let's go."

...

In the depths of the secret realm, in the gathering place of third-grade monsters.

"Eight Senior Brother, Junior Sister is self-willed, but you don't stop her. Look at us following the Tiansheng Sect. We have already killed six third-grade monsters."

"If her cultivation level is much lower than that of Junior Sister Xue Ning from Shuilingmen, she will pester us and ask if she is better or Xue Ning is better."

Everyone from Bingling Sect was suddenly afraid.

The Senior Brother Split Eyebrows is also fearful.

Little Junior Sister has the right to move freely, and he can't stop it, but he forgot about it just now.

'It's over.'

They just saw that Xue Ning girl is already on the fourth level. She was even holding three monster beasts in her hand.

Their Little Junior Sister can't be compared with Xue Ning.

He hurriedly looked at the cultivators of the Tiansheng Sect's mutual aid team. "Can I line up again today so my junior sisters can practice with Tiansheng Sect?"

Tiansheng Sect's leader immediately looked proud. "Okay, for the sake of our long-term cooperation with Bingling Sect, you go to the entrance and then line up again."

Brother Split Eyebrows heaved a sigh of relief immediately.

But when he was about to re-queue at the entrance, he saw the corner of his little sister's ice-cold flower clothes protruding from the side of a frozen phoenix tree.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Little Junior Sister."

In turn, they saw their two precious little sisters of their Bingling Sect, who were at the bottom of the ranking, with their bodies sideways. They were quickly moving between the frozen phoenix trees.

About half a foot away from the snow, there was a thin piece of ice under their feet.

"Senior Brother."

The two of them are also happy. Their dexterous movements are even lighter.

Wei Shuang blushed. "I hate it. I'm not skilled yet. After I'm familiar with it, it won't be sideways."

"..."

Everyone in the Bingling Sect was sluggish.

"Junior sisters, are you both walking on thin ice? You reached the fourth level?"

They have been lining up in Tiansheng Sect's team because they have to find someone to escort them into the secret realm because their cultivation technique hinders them.

But once they reach the fourth level, “Walking On Thin Ice”, no matter where they are, even on the southern border, they will feel as if they are walking on ice that is about to break. Their golden core will always be vigilant and will never fall asleep again.

In this way, they can enter the secret realm by themselves without the company of the Tiansheng Sect.

"Junior sister, why are you two breaking through today? Could it be that you got an adventure?"

Any crisis in the secret realm is accompanied by opportunity.

The brothers from the Bingling Sect asked curiously.

There was a subtle intoxication in Wei Shuang's eyes as if recalling a delicious taste.

At the same time, she swallowed. "The second floor of Nanxun Shop. 199999 spirit stones, brother."

The man with a split eyebrow was stunned.

When he lowered his gaze, he saw two unfamiliar sticks in Wei Shuang's hands with his sharp eyes.

It is roughly half shorter than a nine-section whip and more flexible than a long sword.

"This is..."

Wei Shuang looked back at the phoenix tree forest with admiration and worship. "The second floor of Nanxun Shop. 199999 spirit stones, brother."

"...!"

Just as they were talking, the brothers from the Bingling Sect heard the sounds of monsters crawling and roaring on the ice and snow. Their expressions changed.

When they turned around, they saw more than twenty ice and snow monsters of different types, all around third ranks, aggressively charging toward them.

Everyone nervously flashed their ice swords.

But after a while, they saw these monsters tied around their necks by a long white jade-colored rope.

At the other end of these dozens of long ropes is a yellow-clothed woman with bright eyes.

As if she was herding them, she pulled the long rope and immediately grabbed the necks of the monsters so that they could no longer take an inch towards them.

The brothers of the Bingling Sect were startled.

Su Yu raised her eyes and smiled at them, "Meet again."

"..."

'Is it the catch of their trip?'

Senior Brothers of Bingling Sect feel that their consciousness is about to freeze.

"It's not the catch," Wei Shuang smiled, "Senior Sister Su said, this is the ingredients of the second round of elixir and magic weapon that we can choose later."

"?"

After she finished speaking, Senior Sister Ling Shuang beside her was also tangled and shy.

"It's all my fault. I don't know what to choose at the moment. I want all of them."

Because the guests hadn't ordered yet, Master Su was herding all these ingredients for "grazing." No, they are all takeaways.

When they decide, she will kill and cook it.

The beauty of this lakeside dining lies in the word "fresh."

So Master Su didn't rush her guests. Anyway, it's too early to decide.

Soon, the two of them performed a 'rotating sushi' experience in front of the Bingling Sect brothers.

"Senior brother, I added 10,000 spirit stones. Senior Sister Su agreed to let you choose three to practice. Which one do you like? Tell Senior Brother Yan Yan quickly and get him to put it down."

A new world of experience is slowly unfolding in front of the disciples of the Bingling Sect.

...

"Everyone, Nanxun's Second Floor Squad's Secret Realm Mutual Assistance ended here today."

Yu Dong smiled at the dozens of Bingling Sect's disciples and saluted.

In the beginning, there were only two people, Wei Shuang and Ling Shuang. But later, there was the man with split eyebrows and the others.

From a small group of two, it becomes a group of five.

Fortunately, Yan Yan has many flying swords, and Yu Dong has enough beads. They can still run the rotating service well.

Yu Dong did not miss anything. They avoided monsters above the fourth rank all the way so that Master Su once again felt that this technique was very easy to use, comparable to GPS navigation.

Su Yu sat on a stone, holding her simple and spiritual-aura-free crab butter noodles, enjoying the happiness of mortal delicacies.

A jasper turtle appeared in front of her.

Xiong Feng immediately stretched out his bear paw, touched the turtle shell, and was rejected by it.

The turtle ran straight to Master Su's iron pot, took three rolls of crab butter noodles from it, and ran away.

"Huh?"

Su Yu glanced at the turtle and laughed.

"There is no spiritual energy on this one. Do you want it too?"

The Jasper Turtle stretched its neck. It nodded twice and said nothing, but the tip of its tongue licked the remnants of crab roe on its turtle's claws.

Su Yu immediately took a small bowl and put it in front of the turtle.

The jasper turtle nodded towards her and pushed the small bowl to its green turtle shell.

The four claws disappeared from the ice in an instant.

But halfway through, as if it was thinking of something, the turtle came back.

In front of her, it dropped a note that was smudged by the snow.

The writing is not very clear, but it is barely readable.

[The Ice Soul Lake crabs are fresh, sweet, and delicate. After tasting it, it is endlessly fun. Every October, it will be more fat and plump. Come back next year to taste it together. If you have any trouble, please let me know.]

Su Yu's face flashed with a strange expression.

'This...'

She looked in the direction of where the jasper turtle had left.

Unexpectedly, some turtles can understand Master Su in this immortal world.

Friends are hard to find.

...

On the top of the snow-capped mountains in the secret realm of the North, elders of various factions sit cross-legged in front of the stone tablet showing each sect's achievements.

[Today's shop:

1. Tiansheng Sect 250,000

2. Wanfomen 190,000

...

8. Nanxun Sect 80,000

...]

"Why is Nanxun's shop revenue at the bottom today?"

The elders looked at Qing Xuan in surprise.

Qing Xuan was calm.

'It is rare and strange.'

'Naturally, it is because the alchemist was not there today.'

Tiansheng Sect's chessboard elder stroked his beard and smiled. "Before, your faction said that there may be big orders every day."

Mu Wanyuan and Rong Qianqiu couldn't help but glance at Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan smiled.

Soon the Jinbamen elder exclaimed, "Look at the stone tablet of the secret realm mutual aid. Nanxun rushed so fast, third, no, second... Well, it is approaching the amount of Tiansheng Sect!"

While he was speaking, the second stone tablet jumped again.

[Today's Secret Realm Assistance:

1. Nanxun Sect: 1.98 million

2. Tiansheng Sect: 1.35 million

...]

'Exceeded!'

The elders were stunned.

"Why are the spirit stones of Nanxun Sect keep jumping by 200,000 today?"

Elder Zhang, beside Qing Xuan, smiled. "Today, our Nanxun shop group is in the secret realm. Hey, it was discovered by you."

"..."

'How?'

The elders have powerful spiritual senses, so they can't help but explore the secret realm.

"I don't seem to find anything special about Nanxun."

The chessboard elder of the Tiansheng Sect squinted. He glanced at Su Yu and others who had closed the stall, then looked at Qian Qingqiu's team.

He only looked at him for a while, and then his eyes moved to a Nanxun's female disciple who also used a chessboard magic weapon.

He was about to investigate, but Elder Zhang snorted coldly.

A sword pierced in front of him.

The chessboard elder was immediately annoyed. "Elder Zhang!"

"Hey," Elder Zhang played a dust-removing spell. "I can't do anything either. Elder Li must know that some sects don't train their own disciples but prefer snatching other people's."

Elder Zhang spread his hands, "I'm also thinking about them too. If you go find some more trash, won't you destroy the sect?

"Hey, old man Zhang!" Tiansheng Sect's chessboard elder stood up angrily.

Mu Wanyuan also frowned.

Qing Xuan was busy trying to smooth things out. "Okay, Elder Zhang, you are talking nonsense. You might as well just report their names."

"..."

Just as he was about to leave the secret realm, Qian Qingqiu joined Su Yu's team. He suddenly paused and looked at Zhu Ying, who was trembling behind him.

"What's the matter, Junior Sister?"

Zhu Ying's face turned pale, and she put the big chessboard in her hand into her sleeve. "It's fine. Senior brother, I want to... go back to Nanxun early."

Qian Qingqiu was taken aback.

Su Yu's closing time has come today. Her hands are folded in her large sleeves, and she slowly walks behind Xiong Feng, who is constantly jumping on the snow.

Soon Zhu Ying and Qian Qingqiu greeted her and walked to Yu Dong, who opened the way in front of her.

"Why? Do you have to go back because the practice is not suitable in the land of ice and snow? Are you uncomfortable, or did your practice go wrong?"

Yu Dong looked at Zhu Ying anxiously.

Zhu Ying gritted her teeth and shook her head. "I'm fine."

Su Yu glanced at her.

In the novel, Zhu Ying's family is targeted by a powerful cultivator. Even her parents, who have reached the peak of Nascent Soul, are unable to resist this enemy.

She had to break up the relationship with Yu Dong. But in the end, she failed to escape and ended up in ruins.

'Have they already entered this plot?'

Su Yu sighed. Zhu Ying went home once during the qualifying competition for the third-rank peaks, but now it is suddenly different. It is estimated that the enemy has come here.

Yu Dong clenched the compass in his hand. "Yingying, you can tell me if you have any problems."

Unless necessary, he will not use his technique on those around him.

What's more, Zhu Ying is his Taoist companion.

He trusted her, and she trusted him.

Between them, if she doesn't want to talk, he is willing to wait.

But Zhu Ying raised her still pale face. She looked at his cultivation base and still shook her head.

Yu Dong sighed, "Then I'll take you back to Nanxun tonight."

He looked at Su Yu pleadingly.

Hang Wan'er couldn't help but interject. "Senior Zhu Ying, female cultivators help other female cultivators. Just say it outright! If it's a problem with your cultivation, my fifth senior brother probably won't be able to help. Your exercise is different from him, so asking him is useless. But you can ask my second senior sister."

These words made Su Yu nod cheekily.

After all, Master Su has solved the storage problem of even the formation cultivator.

Yu Dong also looked at Su Yu with reverence and encouraged his Taoist companions.

"Yingying, in fact, I have already asked my Second Senior Sister to buy a golden core supplement. It's just that I heard from Senior Brother Qian that you are now on the verge of breaking through in the later stage of the golden elixir, so it's better to wait until the breakthrough."

Zhu Ying was moved. "Dong Lang, you are so kind to me."

"But..."

But her enemy is too strong.

Zhu Ying resisted looking in the direction of the elders above the secret realm, where the divine sense probed them just now.

Just thinking about it made her body tremble.

Su Yu interrupted them. "Let's go. Go to the shop's second floor to order, cough, tell me about your predicament."

Yu Dong also encouraged her. "Using my Zhiqiong Peak's contribution value, I can get a 50% discount. Yingying, I'll buy you a pill with my private money, okay?"

Zhu Ying couldn't help but move in her heart.

"Yu Dong, you still have private money?"

Yu Dong: "..."

On the second floor of the Nanxun store, Qian Qingqiu sat cross-legged outside the bead curtain, using his Nascent Soul to probe the surroundings.

The twin Lu brothers and Ruo Meng built a three-layered illusion formation and also integrated Elder Hong Yun's hidden talisman into the formation.

Even Xiong Feng and Fei Yu are patrolling outside.

Inside the bead curtain, Su Yu sat face to face with Yu Dong and Zhu Ying across the tea table.

Zhu Ying took a sip of the warm spirit tea. Her heart felt hot and relieved, and her face became better.

"I didn't mean to deceive you, but - there is an invincible Nascent Soul Peak that may be eyeing me."

Yu Dong and Qian Qingqiu outside the bead curtain were shocked.

Only Su Yu had a hunch about this problem, and her expression remained unchanged.

Qian Qingqiu couldn't help but chime in, "Just now, in the secret realm, several powerful divine senses are probing us. They were looking for you?"

"Not sure. But he has been looking for our Zhu family before."

Zhu Ying took out a large square-inch chess board from her storage bag with a wry smile.

The chessboard seems to be only a third-grade magic weapon and is not really classy.

"In the hands of my ancestors, it can exert the power of a sixth-grade magic weapon."

Yu Dong took over her chessboard but stopped moving when he heard the words. "Could this be the Yisi chessboard? It hasn't been seen in a hundred years. It is said that if a Nascent Soul is using this, it can directly drive two Nascent Souls to play against each other like chess pieces?"

The people on the second floor are all people she can trust.

Zhu Ying did not hesitate and tapped her cheeks.

"Among the direct children of each generation of my Zhu family, only one practiced the chess game. The rest practiced other techniques just to confuse the public and prevent people from discovering that this chessboard is the heirloom of our Zhu family."

She smiled wryly. "There are currently three seals on the chessboard. The first one cannot be unlocked until I enter the Nascent Soul stage."

"Nowadays, it is not much different from other chess boards. There are at least a hundred cultivators who use chessboards in Nanxun alone. The other party should not suspect me."

"But three months ago, the other party seemed to have tracked down several cultivators who practiced chess and attacked repeatedly."

Yu Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That means the other party hasn't found you yet."

Yu Dong and Qian Qingqiu were both stunned.

"When I first entered the Golden Core stage, my Dantian was not different from others. But recently, the closer I get to the Nascent Soul, the more my golden core echoes this ancient chessboard. It begins to become special."

Zhu Ying smiled wryly.

"Sooner or later, he will find the Zhu family and me. I'm afraid to tell you, because it will drag you into this crisis."

Su Yu put down the tea cup and finally realized what had happened.

'No wonder the Zhu family was hunted down in the novel and could not escape.'

The magic weapon's seal can cover up her chessboard.

But the specialty of Zhu Ying's golden core can't escape an intentional investigation of someone above Nascent Soul.

Zhu Ying lowered her eyes anxiously. "After knowing that the other party was looking for me, I also thought about changing my technique and changing my magic weapon. But Nanxun is in turmoil. It will be even more suspicious if an acquaintance finds out that I suddenly change."

Yu Dong blurted out. "Is that person from Tiansheng Sect? Is it the elder who controlled a chessboard that day?"

Zhu Ying was silent.

She nodded halfway. "So, I want to go back to the South. If not, I will quit Nanxun."

if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

The chessboard elder is only the peak of Nascent Soul, but behind him is the Tiansheng Sect with the existence of Divine Transformation.

Mu Wanyuan, who is at the pinnacle of Divine Transformation, is now going in and out with him.

The sixth-grade chessboard can make two cultivators with the same cultivation level as themselves play against each other like chess pieces. Anyone would be moved.

The Zhu family cannot defeat them. Nanxun may not be able to defeat them.

If she doesn't go, she will only harm others and herself. She will become a drag on everyone.

"So, my question, Junior Sister Su, you can't help me either." Zhu Ying sighed, "I already have a special golden core. Your golden core pill is useless to me."

Su Yu nodded, "Yes."

She understood it completely.

"Indeed, your golden core is too special."

Zhu Ying was helpless. "Yeah, it's so special that it brings the danger of genocide."

But when she looked up and was about to say goodbye, she saw Su Yu's bright and firm eyes.

"How about wrapping it up then?"

"?!"

'Can the golden core be wrapped?'

If a golden core can be made into a puffy ball in Master Su's hands, why can't they wrap the golden core stacked like chess pieces?

Master Su sees no reason they cannot.

After Master Su decided, there was only one question left.

"What do you think of buns? Ahem, I mean, what kind of wrapping method do you prefer?" Su Yu looked at Zhu Ying encouragingly.

"Don't be afraid, Yingying. If my sister asks you, speak up!"

Zhu Ying's heart couldn't help pounding. She finally knew why Junior Sister Hang and the others worship Su Yu so much.

"Um, I think... could it be more beautiful?"

Anyway, they are all wrapped up and have nothing to do with cultivation.

If it can be more beautiful, it is naturally better.

Zhu Ying blushed.

Su Yu chuckled, "Okay."

Master Su's aesthetics have come into play again.

"I'll try."

To wrap a round golden core inside—

Buns have thin skin and many pleats, which can be elegant or simple, but there are only a few options in appearance.

The burrito-kind of wrap is not suitable for this round golden core. The inside will be out of balance.

Su Yu put her index finger on her chin and tapped lightly.

Soon, she walked behind the beaded curtain with both hands behind her back.

After a long time.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the small jasper bowl in front of her. A cute little red-gold lucky bag with silver threads wrapped around the mouth of the bag. She nodded slightly.
