Chapter 28: Four-Red Porridge VS Black-Boned Chicken Soup
"Zhiqiong Peak successfully defended their third-class rank arena!"
The red-robed elder of the Percept Hall announced the result.

There was an uproar.
Originally, 58 peaks signed up for the challenge against Zhiqiong Peak, but 52 gave up.
After Yunwu Peak, there was no other gradeless peak that dared to set foot on Zhiqiong Peak's arena.
At this moment, Yunwu Peak had a fiasco while the third-class Zhiqiong Peak remained unchanged.
Complete success on the first day!
It sounded absurd, but no one dared to question it.
This arena competition was huge. It was challenging enough for fighting five against five.
In the arena, Xu Meng, who was in the middle stage of Golden Core, lost too much blood. He was still in a coma.
After a brief investigation of his condition, the judging elder waved his hand. "No problem. Leave quickly for healing."
Then, he turned to look at Zhiqiong Peak and frowned.
Lu Yizhou's spiritual sense was exhausted, but he is not in bad condition.
However, looking at Yan Yan, whose eyes were closed and vomited blood, there was anger on the elder's face.
"Stupid. Forcibly taking elixirs to improve your cultivation level! His dantian is in overdraft, and now both of his qi and blood are empty! His swordsmanship was originally promising, but now after relying on elixirs to promote growth, his foundation is unstable. When he reaches the Golden Core level in the future, it will become even more difficult to reach the next threshold."

Wei Zhao's face, which was originally joyful, froze.
The joy of all the disciples of Zhiqiong Peak dissipated.
The judging elder flicked his sleeves. "Find him some medicinal pills to nourish qi and blood and heal his wound first. After recovery, go to the Meditation Hall to consolidate his cultivation!"
After saying that, he shrank himself to an inch and flew out of the tower.
Wei Zhao hurriedly said, "Thank you, Elder, for your guidance!"
A group of junior brothers and sisters immediately surrounded Lu Yizhou and Yan Yan. They were very sad.
"It's rare for the third-class arena to be so tragic."
"Zhiqiong Peak had no retreat. They have no one in the Golden Core level. Only Foundation Building disciples can defend their position."
"This injury will not recover in the short term. After 20 days, the next challenge will start, right? The list of third-class peaks will be set at that time. This group of wounded people will have no chance to prove themselves at that time. It's the end again..."
"What are you panicking about!"
Everyone was discussing them when a beautiful voice faintly came from the leader seat of Zhiqiong Peak.
This voice was a little unfamiliar to them.
They turned their heads and saw a female cultivator in yellow dress sitting in the position of the peak master of Zhiqiong Peak. She had willow eyebrows, eyes like stars and red lips like autumn maples. She was very heroic and sassy. They remembered that she usually stood with her hands behind her back and an indifferent expression. She always seemed to be very calm.
At that moment, she was holding an ordinary double-eared wok.
On the third floor of the Competition Tower, some of the audience felt that the dust had settled and left, but there were still a few left to watch the fun.
'It looks silly.'
Previously when she dealt with Wuying Peak, Su Yu also took out a wok and made five plates of candied strings, but the attention of the disciples watching the game was still on the ring. No one noticed anything abnormal.
However, now, the people who were left were all paying attention to the injuries of the two people from Zhiqiong Peak.
In order to devote all their minds to cultivation and to prevent the impurities of ordinary food from entering their body, most cultivators did not eat for a long time.
Who would have thought that the current temporary peak leader of a dignified third-class peak would carry a wok with her, which really did not fit her status.
In contrast, after seeing the wok, everyone from Zhiqiong Peak showed some expectations and hope.
"Second Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother will have to rely on you."
"Second Senior Sister, if you can cure Sixth Senior Brother, I can do anything in the future!"
"Second Senior Sister, please save Sixth Senior Brother!"
The eager voices of everyone from Zhiqiong Peak came out faintly.
The nearest onlookers had a complicated expression.
These people from Zhiqiong Peak also had something wrong with them.
What sort of medical practice was related to a wok?
"Could it be that her wok is actually a magical tool to make elixir?"
"Hey, I was just joking. How is it possible? If an alchemist sees it, she is finished."
Using an iron wok to harm medicinal materials would surely anger any alchemists.
Using a wok to hold elixirs was already a provocative act of contempt for an alchemist.
The onlookers were afraid when they thought about it.
However, just when they thought that Zhiqiong Peak couldn't be so stupid, they saw Su Yu stand up from the peak master position and put the double-eared iron wok on the table.
Then, she took out a shiny silvery vegetable spatula from her storage bag.
"??"
'What is this operation?'
Everyone was stunned.
---
'Invigorating qi and blood.'
Su Yu closed her eyes and twenty food supplement recipes quickly flashed over her mind.
She flipped through her spatial storage bag. At first glance, she saw a few bags of dark-colored, small-grained first and second-grade spiritual fruits.
'Four red porridge.'
In modern cuisine, peanuts, red beans, purple rice and red dates were four kinds of ingredients used for stewing, nourishing blood and qi, and regulating the heart.
According to the scientific theory of modern culinary science, dark grains were richer in polyphenols and proteins than lighter ones. They could strengthen the contraction of capillaries and promote blood formation.
Su Yu immediately waved her spatula and took four spoonfuls of dark-colored spiritual grains and fruits from her storage bag.
First, she quickly removed the low-quality or stunted grains.
Next, she doused them in spiritual water together and heated it up with a spiritual fire to speed up the soaking process.
Then she tossed it into the wok on the tea table.
Su Yu closed her eyes and the five-element cauldron in her dantian ignited the wok in an instant.
Soon, she raised the iron wok. The spiritual water inside boiled and shallow ripples appeared, steaming hot.
A sweet fragrance spread out to her left and right.
Onlookers woke up like they were in a dream.
When they looked around, they saw that the corners of the mouths of the people around them were more or less strangely intoxicated. Their eyes were full of shock.
Everyone was surprised and touched the corners of their mouths.
After becoming sober...
"How, how could it be... it's a wok!"
"Aura... How come a spiritual aura came out from that wok?"
"Why did she put the red spirit valley grain in the iron wok and simmer it on the fire!?"

One question after another was thundering and hammering in their sea of consciousness. It made their minds tremble.
But no one could answer them.
In the end, someone sighed, "Could it be that this wok was used to make alchemy...?"
"Bold!"
"Shut up! In case an alchemist is upset..."
When it came to that, they couldn't continue speaking.
With their own eyes, they saw that a slender woman in a yellow dress and eyes like stars shoveled a rosy glowing thing from the wok into a small white porcelain bowl.
The small round elixirs were the size of pearl rice. It didn't look unusual at all. It looked very common. It was just that the color was bright red like blood and there were two fine elixir halos on the top!
"!"
Everyone took a breath and took a half step back.
"Two...two..."
"I must be dazzled. Brothers and sisters, someone, stab me with a sword!"
"Two elixir halos... two halos. This is a second-grade elixir!"
"Damn, don't say it. I thought I was in a fantasy!"
"... She is a second-grade alchemist!"
Halfway through, a faint voice sounded.
"Who lied to me and said that that lady from Zhiqiong Peak can't cultivate and she is a waste?"
The requirements for alchemy were extremely strict. They must have pure fire spiritual roots or double spiritual roots with wood and fire. However, only one in one hundred people could actually become an alchemist.
Currently, in the sect exchange office, the value of a bottle of elixirs refined by a second-grade alchemist often cost more than 5,000 spirit stones.
Even though alchemists were not strong in cultivation, few people dared to offend or provoke them.
This was because they might be a second-grade today, but maybe they will enter third-grade in ten years... If they were fortunate enough to become an alchemy master in a hundred years and could refine elixirs to help the masters solve the bottleneck of their cultivation, then their courtyard door might be trampled.
Whoever offended an alchemist was really stupid.
"Senior Sister, fortunately, our peak strength is low, so we never thought about challenging other arenas."
"That's right, Zhiqiong Peak must remember the names of the 58 peaks, including those who escaped."
The disciples of the 58 peaks: "...???"
"Junior Brother Wei."
Qian Qingqiu heard the discussion all the way. He walked to Zhiqiong Peak's people without knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I have a nourishing rune gifted by Master here, which can slowly nourish the sea of knowledge. You should put it in your storage bag first."
Wei Zhao hurriedly accepted it with gratitude and asked Yu Dong to serve some tea. "Thank you. I will not refuse at this time. I will pay it back later."
Qian Qingqiu waved his hand. "We are allies. Junior Brother Wei doesn't need to treat me like an outsider. Then, Junior Brother Yan Yan might as well go to our Yuqiong Peak to recuperate. I can play spiritual music to help him stabilize his realm..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a beautiful voice behind him.
"Okay. Someone come."
Qian Qingqiu couldn't help but turn around and see Su Yu's rosy cheeks. Her eyes were as bright as fireflies, shining brightly.
Her pair of hands were each holding a small jasper bowl.
On the left were six coral-colored round pills the size of pearl rice. On the right were three golden pills the size of winter jujubes, with some bumps on the surface.
The bright red and gold pills on both sides contrasted perfectly with the jasper porcelain bowl, making the color more beautiful and charming.
A sweet and fragrant smell came faintly with some spiritual aura.
Qian Qingqiu was taken aback.
The rest were also stunned. Hang Wan'er stepped forward and looked at her with surprise and delight. "Second Senior Sister, have you made these two pills for Sixth Senior Brother?"
They all knew that she was concocting alchemy, so they did not dare to disturb her easily. Hang Wan'er had learned to be smart this time and put an array around her.
However, they didn't expect that she would make two elixirs!
"Sister, which one to take first?" Wei Zhao asked with concern and admiration.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows and handed the two porcelain bowls to him, "Start with the light color."
Generally, the order of taking meals was from light color to dark color, from light flavor to strong flavor.
This would not make light dishes tasteless because of the rich one.
A reasonable order of serving dishes could make the five senses of the diners stacked up layer by layer and spiralled upward. They should not fall down halfway and create a sense of loss.
"Okay!" Wei Zhao immediately asked Yu Dong to give it to Yan Yan, who had his eyes closed.
But Su Yu frowned, "Wait."
'Cough.'
As long as she was not embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.
"Senior Sister is also thinking about it. I just made three new products... But I haven't tried how effective they are yet. Which one is more suitable for Sixth Junior Brother? You can try it first."
Anyway, she didn't know.
"?"
'Three new elixirs!?'
Qian Qingqiu couldn't help but look at Su Yu in amazement. Even though a Golden Core and the second-class peaks had a lot of resources, they never got access to elixirs this easily.
"In such a short period of time, Junior Sister Su created three new kinds of elixir for nourishing qi and blood and you have succeeded in refining them?"
Fortunately, Su Yu had been in this world for quite some time and her face was thick enough. When she heard this question, her ears were not red and her face was not hot.
She just reluctantly hummed, "It's nothing. It's all inheriting the wisdom of the predecessors."
Qian Qingqiu: ...
The eyes of all the junior brothers and sisters who admired her were rushing like surging water.
Su Yu remained calm. She turned around and handed over the third small jasper bowl that she just couldn't hold in her hands before to Yu Dong.
The spiritual material in her spatial storage bag was only enough to make three blood-nourishing dishes.
Four red porridge.
Fried pork liver.
Black-boned chicken soup.
The second dish was originally pork liver porridge, but she felt that if two out of three dishes were porridge, it would be really unbalanced and had no beauty at all.
She changed it to fried liver for the time being.
However, after processing these dishes with the five-element cauldron, whether it was effective, how effective and whether it was harmful... She didn't know.
These three dishes had all become elixir-like.
The color and the appearance were a bit monotonous, in her opinion.
At the moment, her qi and blood were all full. She was not interested in using medicinal ingredients arbitrarily, so she could only rely on others to try them.
"It's the old rule. Whoever tries it has to write review notes. In the future, if you try new products, you will be rewarded with 100 contribution points." Su Yu did not forget the rewards and punishments.

She put her hands behind her back as she spoke and walked back to the tea table. "Someone else, clean the wok and utensils for me. You will get 100 points."
"Second Senior Sister, I'll try the elixir!" Hang Wan'er was the first to raise her hand enthusiastically.
Wei Zhao frowned. "Seventh Junior Sister, you were not injured. How can you test these elixirs? Go wash the wok."
Hang Wan'er: "..."
Yu Dong glanced to his left and right. "I'll try it."
He took the small jasper bowl that Wei Zhao was holding and his large blue robe revealed a blood-stained cuff.
His outstretched right hand was covered in blood.
"Were you injured by Xu Meng's sword?" Zhu Ying suddenly cried out anxiously.
Yu Dong gave her a comforting look and pulled down his sleeves to cover his hand. "It's just a little trauma."
When Yan Yan took the mushroom soup just now, the layers of aroma were overflowing in the tower, covering the bloody smell on his body.
Yu Dong tried his best to cover it up, but a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead as he moved. His right arm was stiff and weak.
In fact, he couldn't raise this one arm for a long time. Every slight movement of his right shoulder was like tearing it with a knife.
Wei Zhao's expression was solemn. "Xu Meng's sword intent might condense in the wound. It is very ruthless. Fifth Junior Brother, you must expel it as soon as possible."
Wei Zhao was worried but still hummed. "Elixir that nourishes qi and blood can temporarily relieve your pain."
Yu Dong immediately sat down with his knees crossed. He placed three bowls of elixirs with different colors in front of him.
The bright colors were very pleasant.
From the size of a fist, the size shrank to the size of a pearl and there were bursts of fragrance.
Yu Dong's throat moved slightly.
Wei Zhao reminded him, "Fifth Junior Brother, use chopsticks. Don't swallow it whole. Otherwise, it's too severe."
Yu Dong: ...
'This is absurd.' If it were three days ago, he would not believe it.
However, remembering the Spring Plum elixir incident earlier, a little flower could restore his spiritual energy to its max. If this pill with the size of a fist were to be swallowed whole, it was also possible that he would explode and die.
Yu Dong looked at Wei Zhao gratefully. "Thank you, Third Senior Brother, for reminding me."
Qian Qingqiu: "..."
Lin Zhen & Zhu Ying: "..."
This dialogue was as if they were standing at the door of an alchemy master, not a third-class peak.
"Then I'll start with the lighter shade."
Yu Dong was a little nervous. He took out his chopsticks and flicked a small piece from the edge of the cream-colored pill on the left. He was cautious and only took a piece the size of one-third of Spring Plum elixir.
When he was about to put it in his mouth, he was stopped by Su Yu, "You can sip this pill before consuming it."
Yu Dong: "?"
Master Su stood with her hands behind her back.
The first course to nourish blood and nourish qi was, of course, a black-boned chicken soup.
In order to get a clear top-grade color, the main ingredients should not be too oily. She chose a second-grade black bone chicken with more meat and less fat. Then she went to strain the scum three times. When the soup was slightly boiling, she put an egg white mixture in the soup to absorb the impurities in the soup and strained it again for the second time.
The final stock was as clear as a mirror, which could reflect people's shadows.
"Poke a small hole, sip it and then swallow it whole." Su Yu pointed out.
Yu Dong: "?"
Wei Zhao: "??"
Everyone: "???"
'This way of taking an elixir is unheard of.'
'Why don't you take it in one bite?'
Qian Qingqiu couldn't help but wanted to probe. He wanted to try the elixir, but unfortunately, he wasn't injured.
"Junior Brother Yu Dong, your arm is injured. I'll do it for you."
Qian Qingqiu came forward.
He was at the peak of the Golden Core level. There was no one here who was better than him.
His robe fluttered and he quickly moved to Yu Dong's side. Without a sound, his fingertips triggered a burst of spiritual energy and one of the smooth elixir in the bowl in Yu Dong's hand cracked open a pea-sized hole on the spot!
"Senior brother!" Zhu Ying cried out in dissatisfaction.
Qian Qingqiu touched his nose, spreaded his hands and said, "I'm here to help-"
He couldn't help being curious. He took the lead in looking into the small hole.
As a result, he lowered his eyes and was stunned.
A fresh and mellow scent floated into his nose and mouth, making him feel refreshed.
Su Yu couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful not to burn yourself."
This sound awakened Qian Qingqiu. Only then did he realize that his right hand was only half an inch away from the pill.
In just a few moments, he might pick it up and take it.
Qian Qingqiu: "..."
"Yu Dong, take it quickly!" Zhu Ying, who was wearing a pink dress, hurriedly spoke. She glanced at her senior brother resentfully. "Senior Brother, come back quickly. Don't disturb him."
Qian Qingqiu coughed lightly and took two steps back, but his eyes were still on the medicine pill.
Yu Dong's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Someone at the peak of Golden Core was coveting his elixir, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
He felt the wound on his right shoulder was violent and bursting with pain. His hands were shaking and he was about to overturn the porcelain bowl. Yu Dong hurriedly leaned over and lowered his head to approach the pea-shaped hole on the pill.
Then he sucked hard.
A crowd surrounded him.
Everything was visible to the naked eye, not only to them but even to Yu Dong himself. He lowered his eyes and saw spring water as clear as a mirror. When he sucked out this pill, the flavor was clear, overflowing and it poured into his mouth.
'It's really beautiful!'
Yu Dong sighed with emotion and then his body shook.
Warmth poured in and filled his lips and teeth in an instant. Then it slipped into his throat. The aftertaste of the pure and fresh aroma did not diminish and the refined aftertaste was endless.
Yu Dong had an illusion as if he was in a secret realm at the moment. He found century-old ginseng and gathered its roots to absorb the essence.
'It's so hot...'
"Fifth Junior Brother?"
"Fifth Senior Brother..."
Everyone saw Yu Dong's eyes overflowing with a hint of drunkenness. The sweat on his forehead did not decrease but increased.
When they were wondering what had happened, they saw that his pale face turned into a rosy hue.
Puff-
A spurt of blood shot out from his right shoulder!
"!"
"Fifth Junior Brother!"
Zhu Ying stepped forward quickly and hurriedly supported him to check the wound.
"Don't touch..." Su Yu, who was always calm, suddenly stood up when she saw the blood. Her face became serious.
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Yu Dong moved his injured right shoulder, raised his blood-stained right hand and covered his intact left shoulder.

Su Yu: "?"
He looked at everyone and comforted them in a low voice, "It's okay, just a minor injury. Just put some wound medicine on me."
As he spoke, he opened the placket of his intact left shoulder.
Zhu Ying: "?"
Everyone: "?"
A cultivator didn't care about the difference between men and women.
In case of serious injury, healing was the most important thing. What was it to show your shoulders?
Yu Dong didn't care. He tore open the front of his shirt and it was clear to everyone that he had a smooth and intact left shoulder.
"Little Sixteenth, come and apply some medicine for me. I will continue to try these elixirs."
"...!"
'What medicine? Where to put it!'
Zhu Ying was the closest to him and she could see that there was not even a single hair-thin scar.
"Where were you hurt?" she asked softly.
"I..." Yu Dong subconsciously touched his left shoulder but was immediately taken aback.
He remembered it wrong. 'Not the left shoulder, but the right...'
Yu Dong was stunned but stopped for a moment.
He looked at his right hand, which he couldn't lift just now. Now he could easily raise it...
Yu Dong looked like he was haunted by ghosts. He moved his throat with difficulty.
Slowly, he put down his right hand and raised his left hand.
Then, he put down his left hand and slowly raised his right hand.
"..."
'No pain.'
He was as flexible as when he had just finished his practice this morning...
Where was his injury?
