Chapter 12 Flying Sword Roasted Ribs
Zhiqiong Peak's kitchen was originally just a small room built as an afterthought and has long since been abandoned.
After Su Yu transmigrated here, she gradually cleaned up the kitchen and placed more things inside. Now it had a complete appearance of a kitchen.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
She had been thinking about new recipes lately and she loved being in this little kitchen.
"Second Senior Sister, Sixth Junior Brother bumped into you just now. I apologize to you on his behalf. He has a tough temper, but he is not malicious, and previously..." Lu Yizhou bowed his head and couldn't speak more.
Su Yu waved her hand. "I know. I used to have bad relationships with all of you."
As long as she was not embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed.
"It's normal for him to hate me."
Lu Yizhou blushed, "I've already told Sixth Junior Brother of all the things that Second Senior Sister has worked hard for us recently. Once Sixth Junior Brother has more contact with Second Senior Sister, he will understand."
As he said this, he took out an oiled paper bag from his storage bag.
"This is a first-grade Cloud Swallowing Demon Flower that was brought back by Sixth Junior Brother. Second Senior Sister, you can use it."
Su Yu put down the jade slip in her hand and leaned on the reclining chair but did not accept it. She looked up at him and asked, "So, is it from him? What does he want? Or actually, just tell me what you want."
Lu Yizhou took a deep breath. Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from this Second Senior Sister.
He told Su Yu about his sixth junior brother’s current situation.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows, "You want me to help him make an elixir, so that he can comprehend the unity of nine swords?"
Lu Yizhou also knew that what he was asking was difficult. However, his second senior sister was able to make the Seven Relish elixir. Maybe this difficult request could also be done?

He had a hint of expectation in his heart. "Eldest Senior Brother rummaged through the Nanxun Bookstore and was able to find the Guiyi Sword Art that could help Sixth Junior Brother to improve his swordsmanship. However, as soon as Eldest Senior Brother left, Sixth Junior Brother was stuck at the stage of combining nine swords into one. If he can't break through, Sixth Junior Brother's swordsmanship will stop at the middle stage of Foundation Building. If he switches to other swordsmanship, Eldest Senior Brother said that he will never succeed in cultivating his sword heart."
Su Yu raised her head.
Later in the novel, he did abandon his sword heart and switched to the evil way of blood-devouring swordsmanship. He would become a human being that was no longer human.
The problems that came one by one from these teenagers were really tricky.
"Understood."
Lu Yizhou originally thought that his Second Senior Sister might not be able to help. Hence, he didn't expect her tone to be calm and confident. He was very pleasantly surprised.
"What does Second Senior Sister need? I'll prepare now."
She didn't know that either.
Su Yu squinted at him, "Wait."
Lu Yizhou was stunned.
"Cultivation means going against the heavens," Su Yu stood up from the reclining chair. "How can it be so simple as to use external objects to solve all obstacles?"
Lu Yizhou looked panicked. Indeed, every time an alchemist opened their cauldron, their spiritual power and mind would be damaged at some point.
His Seven Relish elixir didn't come easily, did it?
"Second Senior Sister, if you need me in the future, you can ask as you like!"
Su Yu simply hummed and closed her eyes again, "Let’s wait for now. When he is practicing the Nine Swords Unity, take me to him to observe."
Lu Yizhou was stunned.
---
What was a sword heart and why could the sword heart be sharpened by cultivating the Guiyi Swordsmanship?
Su Yu didn’t understand this.
The original owner also practiced swordsmanship, but she only barely knew how to cultivate her sword heart. She could not achieve the highest realm of the unity between man and sword.
This Guiyi Swordsmanship, starting from the unity of nine swords into one sword and finally eighty-one swords combined into one.
Could it be that in the process of cultivating the Guiyi Swordsmanship a sword cultivator could also integrate himself into a part of the eighty-one swords and achieve the unity between the human and the sword which helped to sharpen the sword heart?
Su Yu frowned.
That handsome senior brother didn't elaborate on this in his letter.
Currently, her sixth junior brother is stuck at the level of eight swords. She asked Lu Yizhou how to resolve this, but as he was a music cultivator, he didn't know either.
How could she obtain the correct direction for this innovative dish?
[Second Senior Sister, Sixth Junior Brother is going to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship! Do you have time now?]
Su Yu was lying on the bamboo chair. Hearing this message, she stood up slowly.
She went to the mountain behind Zhiqiong Peak. There was a sparsely populated bamboo forest valley there.
The dense bamboo forest was said to have been planted by Eldest Senior Brother a hundred years ago. After the bamboos had grown, he loved to come here to practice swords.
Later on, the junior brothers and sisters who admired him also liked to come here to practice swordsmanship.
After a long time being a swordsmanship practice area, the bamboos were soaked with fierce sword energy. If someone with a low cultivation base were to stand there, even a gust of wind could make their skin sore and they would not be able to hold on for long.
"Second Senior Sister, we have to stand ten feet away. Non-swordsman can't come here often. Otherwise, it's easy to wear down your body." Lu Yizhou looked a little nervous and lowered his voice.
Su Yu didn't speak. She stood on a high place and looked into the bamboo forest.
Today, her sixth junior brother, Yan Yan, had changed into a new and clean black outfit. He was drawing out two thin swords with red tassels from his waist.
The swords' blades were white and sharp. When they were drawn, they were full of energy. The towering bamboo in front of him broke into six sections in an instant. Each incision was flat and the bamboo fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Sixth Junior Brother's sword energy is still so tyrannical." Lu Yizhou sighed.
Su Yu squinted.
'Isn't this guy the perfect crew for this thing?'
She couldn't help but look at the golden-backed wolf rib that Lu Yizhou bought a few days ago to cook her new dish. Luckily, her spatial storage bag was equipped with a constant temperature array.
She had tried using the red copper sword, but she couldn't chop off the slightest bit of meat from the rib. Even when Lu Yizhou was called in later and used a qin technique to chop the rib, he couldn’t make any progress.
This ingredient was tougher than a Garuda, making her head numb.
When she saw the wolf bone that was as long as her arms and couldn't even fit her biggest soup pot, she wanted to chop it even more!
"Second Senior Sister, look. Sixth Junior Brother is going to use the sword movement Eight Swords Turn Into One!"
Su Yu took back her thoughts.
She saw Yan Yan called out six flying swords of different sizes and shapes from his spatial storage bag. Together with the earlier two swords, they floated in the air to form a character array.
In an instant, the eight swords merged into one. Monstrous sword energy rolled up like a stormy sea in the bamboo forest.
In the blink of an eye, twelve tall bamboos were all cut and fell to the ground!
Su Yu took a deep breath.
This swordsmanship really had potential.
This decisive cutting without hesitation was smooth and flawless. After the combination of the eight swords, his efficiency in cutting ingredients had increased exponentially.
Her back kitchen needed such talents.
"Second Senior Sister, be careful!"
She was distracted and the light from the eight swords that became one came towards her!
Lu Yizhou's face changed greatly. His guqin suddenly floated in the air and turned to block the attack in front of her.
Fortunately, the sword stopped an inch in front of her.
The distance was so close that Su Yu could see the dragon scales pattern on its hilt. She could also feel the trembling coldness of the blade.
"When I practice swordsmanship, no idlers should approach."
Yan Yan, who was standing in the bamboo forest, raised his head with a sullen face.
He reached out his hand and the sword in front of Su Yu flew back to his side.
Two swords were kept on his waist and the remaining six swords were returned to his storage bag.
"Next time, the sword has no eyes. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lu Yizhou's expression became extremely ugly, "Sixth Junior Brother, Second Senior Sister is here to help you. She didn't hinder you today."
"No need." Yan Yan turned and left.
Lu Yizhou wanted to say more, but Su Yu stopped him.
"Well, I need you." Su Yu put her hands behind her back and her eyes were shining brightly.
Yan Yan stopped.
Lu Yizhou was stunned, "Second Senior Sister?"
"Whether you want to help or not, it's up to you. But I want your sword." Su Yu spoke clearly, without blushing at all.
Yan Yan turned around with a sneer on his face and looked at Lu Yizhou, "Fourth Senior Brother, is this what you said about her wanting to repent? Which sword do you like, or do you want to take them all?"
Lu Yizhou was anxious, "Second Senior Sister wants you. What would she do with your sword? Sixth Junior Brother, don't worry. Second Senior Sister, were you joking?"
He looked at Su Yu earnestly. His slender fingers held the guqin tightly, almost showing blue veins.
He feared that she was about to return to her former behavior and now all kinds of acts were falling apart.
There was a hint of pleading and pain in his voice, "Second Senior Sister's water-breaking sword is a second-grade sword. Why would you need Sixth Junior Brother's sword?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, haven't you seen it clearly!" Yan Yan scolded him with a dark face.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows, "What do you see clearly?"
She took out a small gold square seal from her bag with the words "Zhiqiong Peak".
This was the seal of the peak master of Zhiqiong Peak.
Once an order was issued, the disciples in the peak must not disobey. Otherwise, they would be punished.
Yan Yan raised his head and sneered, "You just want to punish me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Yu move her right hand again and took out a ferocious, bloody long bone with thin flesh from her bag. It was as long as six or seven times her hand.
Yan Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
Su Yu held the seal in her right hand and stretched out the long bone in her left.
"Zhiqiong Peak's temporary acting peak master, Su Yu, is now summoning disciple Yan Yan to cut off this wolf's bone in a stick of incense. You must not violate this order."
"She is very different from before. You still don't believe it." Lu Yizhou walked towards the bamboo forest and patted Yan Yan's shoulder.
Yan Yan only felt that half of his body was stiff, but he raised his head and snorted. Immediately, he triggered the sword art Eight Swords Turned Into One, and with the momentum of thunder, they slashed at the ferocious wolf bone that Su Yu placed on top of a rock.
With a clanging sound, the boulder under the bone was cut into pieces. However, after the dust and mist dissipated, only a shallow sword mark could be seen on the rib, which fell on the layer of flesh attached to the wolf bone. The hard bone was not affected at all.
Su Yu's expression changed.
Yan Yan's face darkened, "Is this a rib of a first-grade golden-backed wolf? How could I, someone in the middle stage of Foundation Building, cut it?" He took back his swords and turned his back.
"Peak Master's punishment it is."
Lu Yizhou also showed a bitter expression, "It turned out to be a rib bone. I thought it was a leg bone."
"Second Senior Sister, the whole body of the golden-backed wolf is comparable to black iron. Especially the ribs that protect the demon core in its chest. It is said that it can only be broken by a cultivator in the Nascent Soul level. Someone at the peak of the Golden Core level can barely crack it."
Su Yu's eyes darkened. Good guy. How could this rib be stuffed into her pot? She sighed, looked at the wolf bone on the ground and shook her head. "Then it seems that it can only be roasted whole."
Lu Yizhou was very nervous. "How about I go to the exchange office to return it and let me come back with a leg bone?"
Yan Yan, who was waiting for punishment, also raised his eyebrows.
His Fourth Senior Brother had also become crooked. He was thinking of doing some inexplicable things.
How can an immortal cultivator be so gluttonous? They even cook and eat the flesh and blood of a first-grade beast?
"Okay. Sixth Junior Brother, I already know how to make an elixir to help you unite your nine swords."
"???"
'Extracting the essence of spirit rice and a bowl of white porridge can provide a small amount of spiritual energy...'
'The essence of chicken soup can let people understand the crowing of a hundred chickens...'
'Seven Relish pill can make the sound of the qin turn into a spirit duck and a spirit pigeon... And finally, it has the shape and spirit of a Garuda...'
For the past few dishes, the original characteristics of the spiritual ingredients had all been absorbed into the dishes in terms of form, shape and the nourishing effects of spirits in the immortal cultivation world.
Su Yu squinted and looked at the 'black iron' wolf rib which could not be broken. A list of recipes for beef ribs flashed in her mind.
An image of a Lotus Leaf-Wrapped Beef Ribs overlapped with an image of a 'Flying Sword Rib' flew in her mind.
She could use food as a sword to make a sword heart!
Su Yu smiled and this time she felt confident.
She looked at Lu Yizhou and snapped her fingers, "I'm confiscating this piece of land for me to cook. Go back and come to pick up the elixir later."
Lu Yizhou was pleasantly surprised. "Second Senior Sister, it's hard work for you!"
He hurriedly pulled Yan Yan, who was still trying to refute, to go back quickly.
Su Yu picked up two pieces of broken bamboo from the sword practice grounds and placed them under the rib. Then, she picked up some lotus leaves and wrapped them evenly around the rib. Finally, she covered them in forest soil and lit a fire to bake them.
During this period, the Guiyi Sword Art attack that stopped in front of her appeared in her mind.
The sword guard and hilt had a dragon scales pattern. The hilt was tied with a red tassel.
The tough wolf bone is the body of the sword. In order to achieve visual perfection in the process of cooking, it was essential to perfect the shape of the sword's guard and hilt as well.
Su Yu lowered her head and looked at the fiery Cloud Swallowing Demon Flower in her bag that she got the day before.
The Cloud Swallowing Demon Flower had more than ten pale yellow stamens in the middle, which were as thin as needles. When it was alive, the stamens could burst out up to three feet long, pierced into living objects and instantly killed its prey.
Su Yu narrowed her eyes.
This demon flower also had the characteristics of a sword.
If this flower was incorporated into her Flying Sword Rib, it would add some sweet and sour taste, which could relieve greasiness. It would also add a bright yellow color to the monotonous brown rib.
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
She carefully removed the stamens, extracted the juice to get the color, dissolved it with sugar and shaped it into a sword's guard and hilt.
Then she outlined them with a dragon scales pattern.

The five-element cauldron in her dantian was roaring. The vigorous aura almost made Su Yu stagger and her meridians felt relaxed for a while.
However, in a moment, a sharp sword qi appeared in her vision. The sound of the energy breaking through the sky was incessant.
When she opened her eyes again, it was sunset.
Su Yu looked at the lotus leaf with satisfaction, "It's done."
A Flying Sword Rib with multiple layers in color and flavor and a sword-shaped appearance. An innovative dish she was most satisfied with!
Presumably, after so much tossing in her dantian's five-element cauldron, the finished product this time should also be a sword-shaped elixir with many flavors, right?
Su Yu waited for the heat to dissipate and couldn't wait to open the lotus leaf.
However, after probing for a while, she was stunned.
Inside the lotus leaf, there were neither sword-shaped rib nor sword-shaped medicinal pills but a two feet long, sharp sword with a cold radiance lying on it!
The sword's edge was wide. The whole body was white, but the guard and hilt were like golden dragon's scales gleaming with rainbow colors!
Su Yu was stunned for a moment. She could still smell the strong aroma of meat. Hence, she stubbornly raised her iron spatula and tapped the sword lightly.
The ding sound was like a metal hitting metal impact. What's more, her iron spatula was split into two!
"My gosh. This... can this be eaten?!"
"Second Senior Sister, are you okay?" Lu Yizhou asked with concern, and his footsteps were approaching.
Su Yu: ...
Something happened.
And it’s a big deal!
How can she handle this accident?
Translator Note:
The "dish" this time is inspired by Lotus Leaf-Wrapped Beef Ribs, which is a famous dish of Hutong restaurant in Hong Kong. But of course, imagine the rib is two feet long and turned into a sword!
