Chapter 80(1) - Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate and Vitality Salad

'This is unbelievable.'

When he saw the delicate thing in the paper cup with golden yellow waves like petals and stamens, Jin Haotian curiously reached out and picked one up.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

'Not much weight, so light.'

He threw it in his mouth unceremoniously.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Jin Haotian couldn't help throwing them into his mouth one by one and he couldn't stop.

While eating, he nodded. "Junior Sister Su, your pill tastes good. There is also a little bit of spiritual power, but it doesn't seem to benefit my fire-type exercises."

He was a little regretful. His mouth continued chewing while he distributed the paper cups filled with popcorn to everyone.

After a while, he felt something cold and itchy at the back of his head.

"What are you doing? Junior Brother Yu Dong, Junior Brother Yan Yan, don't touch my head. I'll be angry."

Just as Jin Haotian finished voicing out his dissatisfaction, he saw Yu Dong and Yan Yan standing in front of him and looking at him blankly.

No one was behind him.

"?"

Hang Wan'er looked up at him like seeing a ghost.

Jin Haotian felt an itch on his waist, as if something was climbing on him. Then it suddenly tightened!

When he lowered his head, he saw that the wild grass on the ground had grown to his waist at some point!

He looked back and saw that the branches and leaves of the towering ancient tree behind him were wrapping around his head.

"Ow!"

A fire burst forth from within him.

The vines quickly backed away, taking the popcorn from his hand.

The tips of their leaves vibrated, instantly tipping the popcorn to their roots.

Layers of branches and long grass stretched and the fragrant popcorn was buried deep.

Crunch crunch crunch—

The sound of popcorn chewing and the rustling of leaves came from the depths of ancient trees and grasses.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the lush ancient trees and wanton weeds in front of them were shaking their green leaves and grass tips. As if they were nourished by something, they grew two inches taller in one breath.

Then they lowered their branches and leaves towards Su Yu, who was still making popcorn with an iron pot.

As if coveting her pot. As if to welcome her arrival.

Su Yu cooked another big pot of popcorn before clasping her hands, then looked at the spring-like growth in the garden. "A moderate amount. That's it for today."

Master Su cleaned her pot neatly.

Then she took out a small bench from her storage bag and sat down, watching her junior brothers and sisters feed the green plants in front of them and eat popcorn one by one.

The vegetation in the garden quivered and swayed. They nodded at the crowd who fed them.

After a moment, they let them pass.

Everyone in front of the projection array was sluggish.

"Can elixirs also be given to spiritual plants?"

"Does that work too?"

"I won't be surprised if there is a magic weapon that wants to eat pill tomorrow!"

There were a lot of discussions.

Elder Jin Shishi had a complicated complexion. Magic weapon eating pill was indeed possible.

Elder Bai of Qingrongmen looked helpless and looked at Qing Xuan beside him.

"Qing Xuan, you are also a practitioner of the wood element. Although we are different sects, we are also half brothers and sisters, right?"

"If I had known this earlier, I would have moved our spiritual plants' greenhouse to your Nanxun side ten years ago. In this way, we complement each other. Will we still be afraid of the catastrophe of heaven and earth?"

Qing Xuan: "..."

He also just found out about this.

'Who knows that Little Su is also a good gardener? Cough.'

"Look, the people of Tiansheng Sect have to pass the second level."

Everyone looked at the projection again.

The elder of Qingrongmen frowned when he saw Mei Zhen'er's figure. "I don't know why, but I always think she is a bit strange."

In the projection, Lei Wushang had always been by Mei Zhen'er's side.

But at this time, he took three steps back without a trace.

"To make a dead wood bloom?"

Mei Zhen'er gave a weird smile.

"Exactly, Brother Lei. Our Tiansheng Sect has a secret method."

Three Tiansheng Sect disciples immediately took a step forward and worked together, but after a while, they all collapsed with pale faces and were seriously injured.

But the dead wood had already opened a bud.

Lei Wushang's eyebrows twitched.

'The vitality was transferred from the Tiansheng Sect disciples to the dead wood.'

'What a ruthless secret method.'

The door of the second tree house opened. Mei Zhen'er passed through with a chuckle. A dark mist already fell on her face.

But when you looked closer, it disappeared.

When she passed the tree house door, all the vines fled back quickly as if they were afraid of being touched by her.

"Brother Lei... you're not coming yet?"

Lei Wushang squinted.

In front of the wooden door, the bodies of three Tiansheng Sect disciples were spat out in an instant.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

Their skin was black as if they were scorched and every inch had lost its vitality.

Tiansheng Sect's Li Yiming stepped forward with no expression and took out the life-sustaining elixir in his storage bag to feed them.

This led to the three disciples to awaken but they seemed to be like the walking dead.

The onlookers looked at each other.

Elder Bai's face flashed with disgust.

"She didn't let them live. She just took their life."

"What kind of way does she practice?"

"Tiansheng Sect can actually know the sixth-layer exercise of our wood element?"

Qingrongmen's Liu Ran followed Su Yu immediately to the first tree house.

Seeing Mei Zhen'er and Lei Wushang leaving, she couldn't help but wonder.

"There is a sky outside the sky. Why can't there be others outside the world?"

Just as she was about to control the plants, she saw Mei Zhen'er turned her head and threw a small seven-story tower at them instantly.

A roaring fifth-grade beast ran out of each story, blocking their way.

"Despicable!"

Jin Haotian rushed up and fought with one of them.

Hang Wan'er operated her Seven Emotions and Six Desires exercises. "She wanted to hold us back. She took the lead in going to the third tree house to clear the challenge. When she enters the Wood Palace, she will cut off the third tree house, which cut off our path."

"Second Senior Sister, go first!"

Jin Haotian glared at her. "No, you will be deducted points for abandoning your junior brothers and sisters in the Earth Palace. We don't know what the master of this Wood Palace is thinking."

Master Su raised her eyebrows.

'It doesn't matter what they are thinking.'

"Let's just speed up."

Su Yu glanced at the seven fifth-grade beasts blocking the way.

Then she looked at the second tree house a hundred feet away.

She calmly took out her cast iron doubled-eared wok.

'Master Su's ride to the second tree house will be online soon...'

'Today's Chef Su's recipe: Tomato Sauce Version of Fish Leaping Dragon Gate.'

'Soar to the sky!'

The thick tomato sauce was poured on the fried carp, which was fragrant and crunchy. The tomato sauce was like a lake on the plate.

In an instant, five halos of rosy light fell. A carp leaping boat with a wide and exquisite carving flew out from Su Yu's plate!

The head of the boat was half dragon and half carp. It seemed that half of the transformation had been completed.

The tail of the boat was slightly lifted, strong and dexterous.

The body of the boat was like carvings of peony petals.

This huge flying boat far exceeded the four or five Nanxun Sect's small boats.

Mighty and powerful!

Jin Haotian looked up and couldn't help showing his favorite expression.

Hang Wan'er swallowed hard.

Su Yu took the unwashed pot and stepped onto the carp boat. "Come up quickly. Senior Sister will take you to—"

Before she could finish talking, the Dragon Boat jumped high, like a tenfold acceleration, knocking the fifth-grade beast in front of Hang Wan'er.

Su Yu took out several dragon beard ropes from her storage bag and pulled everyone onto the Dragon Boat one by one.

With one breath, the Dragon Boat jumped to the second tree house a hundred feet away.

"—Fly."

Su Yu just finished saying this concise sentence.

And they arrived.

"..."

Su Yu stepped off the boat, which was dyed red like maple leaves, and entered the second tree house.

It seemed that only a moment had passed.

She was already squatting before the second question in the treehouse.

Nanxun and the rest of the group had just returned to their senses. "So, we have already arrived..."

Hang Wan'er took the lead to exit this flying boat, no, she stepped off the boat in a trance, and other disciples followed.

After standing still, their thoughts couldn't help but wander into the sky and reminisce about the feeling of 'flying' just now.

It was not flying at all. It was jumping.

Outside the projection array, everyone could see it clearly.

The other sects shouted loudly. "Elder Qing Xuan of Nanxun, is that Dragon Boat for sale?"

"How many spirit stones?"

Before Qing Xuan could react, he was surrounded by several sect elders.

Qingrongmen's practice was mostly using wood element and was not good at defense, so they wanted it very much. "Qing Xuan, you are also half of my junior brother. How about I copy the practice manual of our Spirit Severing elders for you?"

Shuilingmen's Elder Baihui was also ruthless. "Qing Xuan, I owe a favor to Junior Niece Su. Please sell it to Shuilingmen first."

Qing Xuan: "?"

'Listen to yourself. Do you think it makes sense?'

Elder Baihui didn't blush at all. "Anyway, I want to repay Little Su's favor. We have already planted cause and effect. In this case, the more, the better."

This water element elder was a shameless person, like the master of the Water Palace, who was good at cheating people.

"Qing Xuan, don't listen to him. Shuilingmen is a guy who is full of thoughts. Look at my Jiuyao Mountain. We are always step-by-step, practical."if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

The Divine Transformation Elder of Jiuyao Mountain lightly coughed.

"Besides, our chief, Xu Tu, is already very acquainted with Little Niece Su."

Qing Xuan took a deep breath. This feeling of being watched by thousands of people was terrible.

The disciples of Nanxun, who sat in front of the projection array to watch, were instantly surrounded by layers of disciples.

Only Tiansheng Sect and Leiyun Sect were not interested at all.

The Divine Transformation elder of Leiyun Sect snorted, "A fifth-grade flying boat hit a fifth-grade beast. It may have been damaged. It probably could be used two more times at most."

Just as she was about to say more, she heard Hang Wan'er exclaim in a loud voice from the projection array.

"Ah, the Dragon Boat broke."

The Leiyun Sect elder couldn't help but smile and look at the projection array, but her expression froze quickly.

She saw that Hang Wan'er was about to put away the boat, but she broke a big thumb-size piece on the head of the Dragon Boat.

The fifth-grade beast was knocked flying, but the Dragon Boat only lost a small piece of skin.

Everyone was startled, but they became even more excited.

"Qing Xuan, look at my Shuilingmen—"

"At full speed, one leap is a hundred miles away and it is so sturdy! Qing Xuan, this old man will beg you first."

All sects and factions were ruthless.

A catastrophe was imminent. This leaping fish boat was very useful whether it was used to fight on the battlefield or to escape and save the last remaining strength of a sect!

Qing Xuan's head was about to be blown up. "Don't be noisy. It depends on the mood of Junior Niece Su."

Taoist Mu nodded.

Every school couldn't help but get nervous.

In the projection array, Hang Wan'er had already walked to Su Yu's side and showed her a piece of steaming red carp cheeks soaked in tomato juice that had fallen from the head of the boat. 

She asked, "Second Senior Sister, should Junior Sister send it away for mourning?"

Su Yu twitched the corners of her eyes. 

'This is technically the fish's face.'

'Some diners love it.'

"This... you arrange it yourself."

Hang Wan'er took a deep breath. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, she stuffed this quivering piece of soft and delicious fish meat that was about to drip into her mouth.

Everyone: "?"

Hang Wan'er closed her eyes and shed crystal tears in one breath.

"It's all because I'm useless. I didn't get rid of that fifth-grade beast, which injured the Dragon Boat a little... Ugh, delicious."

Tears rolled down her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily. She wanted more.

Everyone: "..."

Su Yu nodded in relief.

Tomato juice with pulp, thick and viscous.

Not only was the appearance of the whole dish of Carp Jumping the Dragon Gate beautiful, but also the soup was thicker, more crystal-like and full. The taste was also stronger.

The stickiness of the tomato sauce tightly wrapped the soft and tender fish, prolonging the time for the fresh fish flavor and the sweet and sour tomato sauce to stay in the mouths of diners.

The umami taste of the fish was slowly released in the tomato sauce, which could last for a long time.

Hang Wan'er wiped away her tears before explaining to Yan Yan and others who were embarrassed.

"Second Senior Sister said, use it while it's hot. If I share with you, time will pass on, which will affect the effect of the memorial."

"..."

"Next time, I'll let you collect the damaged parts of the Dragon Boat. We will take turns." Hang Wan'er was also loyal to her colleagues.

Soon everyone accepted this statement. They cheered up and went to the assessment topic of the second wooden house - the dead wood.

They saw a dead tree that had grown a bud that was faintly alive.

But the other piece of dead wood did not move as if it was dead.

"This should be what Mei Zhen'er did?"

Hang Wan'er propped her chin.

Yan Yan thought about it for a while. He took out the small half bag of popcorn that he had stockpiled from his storage bag, took out one in pain, and placed it on the dead wood with a serious expression.

Su Yu looked at the popcorn next to him.

But the dead wood did not move.

Not to mention flowering. The dry branches did not even produce a green leaf.

Yan Yan bared his teeth. He took out three more and placed them on the dead wood in distress, with a look on his face that said he had given enough.

But the dead wood still had no intention to absorb it.

Yan Yan sighed and finally gave up. He put all four popcorns back into his storage bag, ignoring Liu Ran's eager eyes next to him, who wanted to ask for one.

"No."

He summed it up succinctly.

"This seems to be a bit like the situation when your third senior brother was broken."

Su Yu put her hands behind her back.

"He can't take the pill, so he can only drink porridge."

Hang Wan'er pondered, and her eyes brightened. "It makes sense. It does not have enough vitality to make up for it, so we can only slowly figure it out. Should we use the grinder produced by Master to grind the popcorn into powder, then soak it in water and give it a try?"

Yan Yan was distressed.

But after they tried, he could drink it himself if it still didn't work.

Su Yu pressed her eyebrows.

She couldn't help but think of the green plum embroidery carvings that treated Elder Zhang, forming a vitality array that gave a little supplement to his lifespan.

Master Su seemed to have some ideas.

"Wait a moment. Senior Sister will try a Splendid Flower Basket of Melon Carving Pill."

Fruit carvings were generally the presentation of cold dishes.

Su Yu took out a cloth bag she had recently filled from her storage bag. After opening it, everyone saw twenty or so sharp white knives with different kinds of blades.

Liu Ran of Qingrongmen was a little stunned.

'So, is it an alchemy?'

She had never seen an elixir with engraving on it.

Su Yu quickly moved. The first step of food carving was to choose suitable ingredients.

She reached into her storage bag and picked out a radish.

Crispy and tender but not soft. No marking and no hollow area on the skin. It had a bright color and no damage.

Su Yu took a deep breath, sprinkled some water and picked up the round knife.

Before she took action, she looked at the dead tree. "What pattern do you want?"

Liu Ran was stunned.

Su Yu didn't get any response, so she nodded. "Then I'll try a few types."

After saying that, under Liu Ran's curious eyes, she inserted the round knife into the radish. It seemed to turn around easily and then she pulled the knife out. A small flower stamen gradually formed.

The second stroke went down and intersected with the first stroke, which was already looking like a petal.

Su Yu leaned against the table. She quickly placed the five-petaled white plum blossoms on a jade plate, using the technique of stacking, in front of the dead wood.

She changed her knife into a semi-circular knife. She pushed it forward in a curve and with a few breaths, a beautiful curly-petaled chrysanthemum was faintly born between her fingers.

Then a jade-colored pagoda flower with layered petals, a bright red peony waiting to bloom, a green bergamot flower, a reddish-white summer lotus, a light golden rose...

There were more and more flowers on the jade plate.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

When all carvings were stacked together, the petals rolled out and the stamens drooped naturally. When she moved, some of the petals vibrated realistically. With various colors placed on the dead wood, it was difficult to identify which ones were elixirs.

In an instant, several rays of light descended from the sky and landed on this white jade plate with a hundred flowers in full bloom.

Spiritual energy floated around the dead wood. Aura and vitality bloomed slowly.

"This is a... Vitality Array."

Liu Ran was amazed.

Su Yu wiped the knife in her hand.

She should have carved a melon basket, but after a long period of meticulous carving, the first batch of edible carvings would gradually lose their freshness.

So she stopped.

She took out the kitchen waste disposal from her storage bag. Previously, it recycled the food waste from the poisonous toad and all sorts of things from the Fire Palace, which had become the essence of nourishment. She poured it on the edge of the dead wood.

"Yes." Hang Wan'er's eyes lit up.

The nutrition gradually thinned, and the dead wood slowly absorbed it.

Outside the projection array, Elder Bai stood up with a bang. The green vines on his robes trembled with excitement, almost poking Qing Xuan's face.

"Qing Xuan, do you sell this formation and this magic weapon? You can negotiate how many spirit stones you want. I want three pieces."

The practice of Qingrongmen was related to vitality. Their disciples did not like to fight, but they liked to cultivate spiritual plants. Most of them earned spiritual stones by selling plants.

Every time a new spiritual plant was cultivated, their disciple's cultivation would increase.

Qing Xuan touched his nose. "I can't be the master of this magic weapon. I can't decide for this formation either."

Elder Bai: "..."

Qing Xuan coughed lightly.

Several elders had contributed to the creation of that kitchen waste processor, and it was made according to Su Yu's instructions.

According to what Little Su said, they must all agree before the waste processor or items from the waste processor could be sold.

They could receive a share if they sold it to earn spirit stones.

Qing Xuan did the math. He probably only accounted for 10% of the voting rights and accounts.

"Old Bai, wait for our little Su to come out and discuss."

Elder Bai sat down helplessly. The green vines on his sleeves drooped down.

In the projection array.

Hang Wan'er held her cheeks, squatted in front of the dead tree, and watched it gradually stretch its dry bark to sprout and slowly grow several green leaves.

Hundreds of flowers floating in the air lost their aura in an instant and fell into the white plate.

Su Yu took out a long golden small lunch box, cut a layer of green cabbage base, and placed it on the bottom. Then she picked five or six food carvings and placed them as the base. She cut a few fish slices, rolled them into a peony, put in purple potato boulders, and made rolling waves of black soba noodles.

"Salad elixir."

In an instant, Hang Wan'er's eyes lit up.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Su Yu smiled and sent the salad to them. She also made sesame salad dressing, mayonnaise, Thai sweet and chili sauce, oil and vinegar sauce, and fermented bean curd sauce for everyone to choose from.

Each was served in small wooden bowls with a shared small wooden spoon.

"Add whatever sauce you like."

When Hang Wan'er was about to stand up to guide the memorial service, the wooden door of the second tree house slowly opened.

Under the Hundred Flowers Carving Formation, not only did the sixth-grade dead wood slowly sprout, but even the buds on the sixth-grade pine branches that had withered bloomed again with thousand-folded petals.

"Go."

Hang Wan'er immediately took her small wooden salad bowl and released the Dragon Boat.

Yan Yan's flying swords brought several bowls of salad dressing with him.

Su Yu stepped onto the boat with her hands behind her back.
