Chapter 19 The Taste of Sliced Beast Trotter is as Deep as the Sea

During the refining process, the essence of the first-grade demon hooves would have been integrated into the Five Immortal Ropes. This resulted in the rope having an attack power making people feel as if they were trampled by hooves. The leftover meat should not have any effect.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

If this meat was used as a gift, it would definitely be rejected.

"The Golden Core person that Second Senior Sister mentioned, wouldn't it be Qian Qingqiu, who tried to teach Fourth Junior Brother a lesson before?" Qian Qingqiu was the chief disciple of the second-class Yuqiong Peak and he had seen many spiritual treasures.

Discarded leftovers were used as a gift for him...

A vein on Wei Zhao's forehead twitched.

But Su Yu's brows and eyes were confident. Her gaze had no fear and she was very calm, "It's him. I only know one person in the Golden Core level."

Last time, he voluntarily admitted defeat and gave a bottle of Spirit Gathering Powder, which was considered as an apology. Since then, she remembered him.

"Let's go. Let's meet old friends."

Wei Zhao: "...!"

---

On Yuqiong Peak, in a pavilion between mountains and rivers, Qian Qingqiu, in a blue robe, was playing his qin.

His junior brother, Lin Zhen, came in a hurry, filled with righteous indignation.

"Senior Brother, I heard today that Chen Shuxin, the chief disciple of the third-class Linran Peak, had been looking for other top five of third-class peaks and the top six of no-rank peaks to form an alliance. They are definitely going to make trouble!"

"He hated Xiao Muge, who was in Zhiqiong Peak the most. He was definitely trying to make an alliance to deal with Zhiqiong Peak."

"But if he made an alliance with the top five peaks in the third-class, I think he wouldn't want to engage with us! We are ranked 12th in the second-class peaks. They will definitely defeat us!"

"Senior brother, we also need to find an ally—"

"Noisy."

Qian Qingqiu was about to reprimand further when a jade slip with a challenge letter came down to him from a distance.

He was startled.

"Anyway, Chen Shuxin has no good intentions, so we have to be vigilant!" Lin Zhen stepped forward curiously after speaking. "Who doesn't have eyes and sends a challenge letter to Senior Brother?"

Qian Qingqiu's expression became complicated for a moment and he put away the challenge letter.

"Zhiqiong Peak."

Lin Zhen: "?"

'Wait, isn't the grievance between Lu Yizhou and me over?'

'I had even given them a bottle of Spirit Gathering Powder!'

At a pivotal point near the secret realm of the sect, there was a tower dedicated to the disciples' daily sparring and practice.

Some peaks with insufficient rank did not have enough defensive formations to allow Golden Core cultivators to display their cultivation at will at their own peaks. So they would come to this tower to spar and practice.

Each floor of the tower had several secret rooms with third-class defence formations. If there was a gamble made between the sparring parties, you could also make a contract to prevent one party from not fulfilling their promise after losing.

"Gambling Arena, one game is one hundred spirit stones. The loser will bear the fee." An elder sitting at the tower's gate threw a secret room jade key towards them.

As soon as Qian Qingqiu and Lin Zhen arrived at the secret room, they saw Su Yu and a female disciple waiting behind Wei Zhao who was in a wheelchair.

Lin Zhen couldn't help but frown. "Where's Lu Yizhou?"

He thought it was Lu Yizhou who was going to fight with his senior brother.

He was also very interested in the progress of Lu Yizhou's qin technique, so he followed along.

However, Su Yu waved her hand dashingly, "Don't disturb him. He is in retreat."

"...?"

"Is this Senior Brother Qian?" Hang Wan'er, in a red dress, stepped forward and bowed to Qian Qingqiu. "Today, it was me who challenged you."

Qian Qingqiu and Lin Zhen gave her a careful look.

Then they almost laugh.

Lin Zhen was furious. "You dare to challenge my senior brother when you are only in the early stage of Foundation Building?"

Su Yu raised her eyebrows, "What does it matter? Don't our two peaks always come and go easily without paying attention to this?"

Qian Qingqiu: "?"

"Last time, Brother Qian, a Golden Core cultivator, came to challenge my Junior Brother who is in the Foundation Building. Why can't I challenge you today?"

Qian Qingqiu took a deep breath and held back his words before he waved. Last time, he had already given a lesson to Lin Zhen, who had caused him trouble.

Remembering their previous loss, he could only glanced coldly at Lin Zhen, who was about to get angry. "You go and pay for the spirit stone. Take out another bottle of Spirit Gathering Powder. If I lose, give it to Zhiqiong Peak."

Lin Zhen: " ???"

Su Yu was very satisfied. She felt that this Golden Core guy was also a good hand in managing the kitchen. He knew how to deal with rewards and punishments clearly.

She immediately raised her smooth chin to Hang Wan'er beside her.

Hang Wan'er immediately understood. She took out a large white porcelain bowl from her spatial storage bag and a fragrant oil scent filled the entire secret room.

Qian Qingqiu stood still, holding his qin, and was stunned.

Lin Zhen's action of taking out the Spirit Gathering Powder was also stopped. "What is this? Both sides must take out tools or spirit stones of equivalent value when gambling. One bottle of Spirit Gathering Powder is a thousand spirit stones—"

But he didn't finish his sentence. He stopped because Hang Wan'er opened the bowl's lid.

A more intense and dominating meat fragrance, accompanied by a wave of spiritual energy, emerged from the porcelain bowl.

Lin Zhen was taken aback.

Qian Qingqiu lowered his eyebrows and saw a sauce-colored hooves meat inside the bowl. The hooves skin with rich grease on the surface was crystal clear and seemed to be very soft. Hang Wan'er's little act of lifting the lid of the bowl made the flesh tremble slightly. The sauce mixed with grease and dripped onto the bottom of the white porcelain bowl.

When he took a closer look, he discovered the subtlety of the hooves, "Is this... the meat of first-grade demon hooves?"

Lin Zhen heard his senior brother’s words and approached in amazement.

Sure enough, he also saw the abnormality of the saucy hooves. Two toes adjacent to each other, with a size ratio of 2 to 8. There was a raised pattern on the big toe like a ridge.

A first-grade beast had four toes on each foot. However, when it violently rushed forward, only the middle two toes touched the ground, so the trampling power became powerful and earthshaking.

Therefore, the two toes that land on the ground were often the first place cultivators attack to remove their mobility.

The two toes were exactly the same as in this bowl.

This was a characteristic that other grades of beasts did not have.

"Sure enough," Lin Zhen nodded but was speechless for a moment. "You actually use it to cook? The foot bones of the two front toes of the first-grade demon beasts are often used in refining tools and the value is not cheap. But you cook it as food? It's a waste of money! The spiritual energy has long been exhausted."

Why would his senior brother want this cooked dish?

"How can this be exchanged with Spirit Gathering Powder?!"

Wei Zhao frowned, "Junior Brother Lin, don't be impatient. Listen to my senior sister first."

However, Su Yu waved her hand. Her expression was not only not angry but very happy, "No, let him say it. I think he said it very well."

Lin Zhen: "???"

Su Yu didn't feel offended. On the contrary, she was very pleased.

Finally, she made an elixir that looked very much like a dish.

Previously, when she made the Three-nested Duck, it only became a pill with a duck shape. There was no oily bright color that accompanied a normal Three-nested Duck dish. It still looked like an elixir.

She was not satisfied with it. After several days of research, she finally retained the original red oily color of the food refined by the five-element cauldron.

However, Wei Zhao and Hang Wan'er didn't praise her, which made Master Su feel dismal. She didn't expect Lin Zhen to think that this was a dish. This made her feel that Lin Zhen's face and eyebrows were more beautiful at this moment.

"It doesn't matter. If it's not equivalent to Spirit Gathering Powder, you can cut it in an appropriate amount." Su Yu readily took out the water-breaking sword from her storage bag.

Lin Zhen was bemused. "I mean, your offering is not as good as Spirit Gathering Powder. What do you want to cut?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Yu's sword precisely hit the edge of a fat-rich hoof, causing the crystal skin to tremble and the sauce to roll down.

Her eyes were sharp and her hands were fast. She immediately cut the pieces of meat into paper-thin slices and lifted them on the sword. A slight sword light could be seen through the slices, which showed how extremely thin the slices were.

However, no one at the scene paid attention to this because there was a faint blush on their faces instantly. The brilliant scent bloomed from the cut hoof filled their minds.

Qian Qingqiu was originally calm but now his handsome face changed greatly, "Is this... an elixir?"

Lin Zhen: ...

He hurriedly shifted his gaze to scrutinize the cut meat's color. Then he realized that even though the meat seemed to be overflowing with gravy, under the fleshy skin there was actually a firm elixir texture with dark red flesh lines and a white halo, which seemed to be hidden under the sauce.

This was really an elixir!

In shock, Qian Qingqiu looked at Su Yu, who was holding the long sword.

Soon, they turned their attention to Wei Zhao again.

Everyone knew that the real temporary master of Zhiqiong Peak was not this second senior sister. Although Wei Zhao's cultivation base was completely destroyed, his qualifications and brains were still there and he ranked third in Zhiqiong Peak.

"Junior Brother Wei." According to his cultivation level, Qian Qingqiu called Wei Zhao "junior brother."

"This is an elixir?"

However, as soon as Qian Qingqiu asked, he saw Wei Zhao's face was full of shock, as much as he was.

Qian Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the red-clothed female disciple behind Wei Zhao. She was in the early stage of Foundation Building, so her cultivation base was not that shallow. She should have known this elixir. However, the female disciple looked even more shocked than Wei Zhao and she still had not recovered.

Qian Qingqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What was going on with Zhiqiong Peak lately? He suddenly missed Xiao Muge.

"This elixir is called Hooves Flower." Su Yu asked, holding the sword still dripping with oil, "Do you want to try it first?"

She picked up a thin piece of meat that she had just cut with her sword and sent it to Qian Qingqiu.

Qian Qingqiu: "...?"

Su Yu raised her lips, "If you lose, both of you from Yuqiong Peak will need to pay me back with spirit stones."

Qian Qingqiu couldn't help but laugh.

"Last time, my senior brother didn't want to use his Golden Core cultivation to bully someone in a Foundation Building. Do you really think my senior brother lost to Lu Yizhou?" Lin Zhen was furious.

But he was quickly blocked by Qian Qingqiu. "Okay, I promise. I also want to try the effect of this pill."

Lin Zhen had no choice but to step back. When he inhaled, he smelled a strong aroma of meat. His eyes couldn't help but stop on the long sword that was dripping with oil and overflowing with fragrance. Although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He had already established a foundation, but he still felt the temptation of this elixir.

His sea of consciousness seemed to shake, wanting to swallow it.

Su Yu didn't pay attention to him at all. She quickly took back the long sword and turned it to Hang Wan'er beside her.

Hang Wan'er was stunned for a moment. Then she realized that after Qian Qingqiu took a 'slice of elixir' on the sword, there were still a couple of thin layers of Hooves Flower slices rich in oil and had equal distribution of fat and lean meat.

As expected, Second Senior Sister used to be an amazing sword cultivator. She can do so much with one swing of the sword!

"Me too?" Hang Wan'er was surprised.

"Naturally. I can't just ask one person to try my dishes." Su Yu nodded.

Hang Wan'er immediately broke away from the shock that her second senior sister could refine weapons and even the leftovers were turned into alchemy. Excitedly, she took a pair of chopsticks handed over by her third senior brother, Wei Zhao.

As soon as it was put into her mouth, Hang Wan'er was stunned.

She never imagined that taking an elixir with chopsticks would be so handy.

When Qian Qingqiu looked at her rough movements, his forehead twitched. Spiritual energy swayed from his fingertips, rolled up the slices full of gravy in front of him, folded it in half and sucked it into his mouth.

This was the correct way of eating elixir.

After a short while, the tip of his teeth trembled and his body straightened up.

The tender skin and trembling flesh hit the tip of his tongue with a bang. The soft taste leaped up, the skin melted at the touch and the fresh meat was sweet and fragrant.

Just as he was about to savor the flavor, his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled and his dantian tightened.

Qian Qingqiu's face changed greatly on the spot and he sat down with his legs crossed.

Lin Zhen paled, "Senior Brother! What did you give my senior brother to eat!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hang Wan'er, a lady in red on the opposite side, also sitting down cross-legged with rosy cheeks.

Lin Zhen: "?"

Wei Zhao looked admiringly at Su Yu, who was slowly cleaning her long sword with spiritual water.

He thought it was the leftovers from refining a spiritual tool, but it turned out to be an elixir. Moreover, it was a spiritual elixir that made people advance in one bite.

A red-clothed elder, who was responsible for ensuring the safety of all the disciples, regularly used his spiritual sense to inspect the secret room for competitions. However, he whispered when passing a certain secret room in his routine check, "Strange thing. Where did these disciples come from? Why are they sitting cross-legged?"

He shook his head and soon his spiritual sense swept to other places.

After a cup of tea passed, Hang Wan'er woke up from a state of tranquility, her face flushed with rosy glow and a trace of light overflowed from her pretty eyes.

"Second Senior Sister, I feel that I can control the Five Immortal Ropes more proficiently and I can do whatever I want with it."

Lin Zhen: ...

Was there an elixir that can achieve such an effect?

His face changed instantly. An elixir that could make a magic weapon handier to control was meant only for natal magic weapons.

The cultivable natal instruments were connected to the cultivator's mind. Once damaged, the cultivator would also be injured.

Therefore, cultivators would carefully select their natal magic weapon. They would not rush to cultivate their own natal magic weapon in the early stage of Foundation Building. This was to ensure that their natal magic weapon would not be too low in rank and easily damaged.

Thinking about it, Lin Zhen couldn't help but glance at Hang Wan'er sympathetically. Zhiqiong Peak's resources were too poor.

While he was still thinking about it, Qian Qingqiu, who was in meditation, also woke up. He looked at Su Yu and the others with a complicated expression.

"This elixir, I would like to buy it with spirit stones. How many do you have?"

Lin Zhen was taken aback.

Qian Qingqiu stood up solemnly, cupped his hands and bowed to Su Yu, "Just when I took the elixir, I heard several thunderous hooves in my sea of ​​knowledge. I seemed to have caught a glimpse of the ambush spirit written on the fragment of the qin art."

The Nanxun Academy's Qin Art mind method entered the ambush stage in the Nascent Soul level. He kept his hands on the scroll every day, trying to understand and comprehend it, but couldn't get it to work.

However, this elixir... made the sound of hooves roll in his ears as if it was coming from ten sides.

His qin heart seemed to have grasped a trace of the true meaning of the art, but it was only fleeting.

"Although I didn't fully understand it yet, a glimmer of hope is already precious. It is hard to find in a thousand years. Besides spirit stones, I will owe Junior Sister Su a favor. I can do anything for Junior Sister." Qian Qingqiu said solemnly.

Lin Zhen: "!"

Wei Zhao: "!"

Hang Wan'er: "???"

The three of them looked at him in shock.

Qian Qingqiu didn't know why.

But after listening to Hang Wan'er's sigh, "Why after you take it, your perception is different from mine?"

Qian Qingqiu: "Huh??"

'Wait, how can one elixir be used for two purposes!'
