Chapter 34 Suzhou-style Meat Mooncake

"This is -- a formation!"

As Elder Zhang spoke, the golden light of the longevity pattern gradually poured into his body.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

His robes fluttered and his face soon showed a hint of intoxication.

After three breaths, Hang Wan'er heard a puff. Before she could ask, the plum fruit engraved with the word "longevity" in Elder Zhang's hand vanished into ashes.

The longevity pattern first turned into golden light, then little by little dispersed and disappeared.

Elder Zhang sighed, "It turned out to be a vitality formation. I feel that my spiritual energy has been filled again."

He opened his eyes and looked at Su Yu with uncontrollable appreciation and gratitude.

"You can also make formations. It's really a blessing for the Nanxun sect to have such an amazing disciple like you."

Hang Wan'er took a deep breath and looked at her second senior sister.

Su Yu held herself back from looking at her dantian's five-element cauldron.

'Carving turned into an array?'

She closed her eyes and opened them again. She had to suppress the corners of her mouth for a long time before she could regain her calm. "It is only for three breaths. Elder, you must not mock me."

Elder Zhang laughed.

"Such a small plum fruit is fragile and has limited vitality. If you were switched with other array mages, I am afraid that this array will not be able to survive its own conception."

Su Yu's mouth twitched.

Hang Wan'er's pretty face burst into delight and she looked at Su Yu in admiration.

She thought that her Second Senior Sister was already very good at concocting alchemy, but surprisingly, she could also carve talismans into formations?

It was said that the master of formations had an amazing sea of ​​consciousness and a keen sense of their surroundings.

Second Senior Sister managed to carve a formation on a plum fruit!

"It turns out that Second Senior Sister knows the formation method. That day, we had reservations about the third-rank killing formation." Hang Wan'er blurted out her thoughts and she was shocked when she said it.

'Scared to death.'

Fortunately, her second senior sister didn't enter the ring that day. Otherwise, would there be any contribution points for her, Hang Wan'er?

"Second Senior Sister, you can ask me to do anything next time. Don't do it by yourself." Hang Wan'er said hurriedly.

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

No matter how thick-skinned Master Su was, she couldn't bear the surging veneration in the eyes of her little junior sister.

When she looked at the remaining carved plum fruits, she couldn't help but ponder.

'A good snack, a combination of sweet and salty, sweet and sour, but it is no more.'

She pondered, "Elder Zhang just said that you are thirsty. Please wait a moment and I will ask my junior brother to go to the back mountain to pick some more."

Master Su felt that she could use Yu Dong again.

Elder Zhang suddenly shook his beard. "This, this old man is not thirsty at all now!

"I think I can answer your disciples' questions again!"

Su Yu: "..."

Hang Wan'er: "..."

'Hey, no one appreciates Master Su's ingenious and reasonable meal arrangement.'

'Lonely as snow.'

Su Yu returned to her room, sighing and playing with a plum in her hand.

No one in this immortal cultivation world could understand her cooking intentions.

However, Master Su didn't feel too bad.

One day they would understand.

She stuffed the engraved plum into her storage bag and took a lunch break without any psychological burden.

At the same moment but in a different place, Xiao Muge was stunned.

The small seal of the peak master sent him a tender yellow plum fruit that bloomed like a small flower, with a faint shape of the "longevity" character carved over its green skin.

'What is this?'

He actually saw the right amount of ingenuity in this fruit.

The character "longevity" was carved like a group of flowers. The strokes intersected and each stroke was smooth and round. With this carving, the plum fruit became quite beautiful.

Xiao Muge's eyes overflowed with admiration and surprise.

'Amazing.'

He wondered who made it. Such a leisurely mood was really in line with his state of mind that he seeked the natural way and did not wish to ascend.

He wanted to meet this person.

Xiao Muge closed his eyes again.

In order to avoid the thunder tribulation, he crossed his knees in this icy land for many days. All he saw were white glaciers. Except for one spiritual turtle, there was no flower or grass.

At this moment, the faint fruity fragrance brought bright vitality to his dull days.

Xiao Muge raised his thin lips slightly.

The ice soul that was condensing in his hand gradually turned into an ice flower shape corresponding to a plum fruit.

At the small courtyard in Zhiqiong Peak.

Hang Wan'er put six round pastries on the stone table. "Elder, please try it. This is one of the two welcoming snacks."

There were two halos on top of this round pastry.

"Your peak's snacks are all... elixirs and arrays?" Elder Zhang was stunned.

Hang Wan'er put the plate down, looked at the small kitchen and said with admiration, "Yes, we are all fasting. The snacks are elixirs or elixir soup. This array is only available today. It seems that Second Senior Sister made it especially to entertain you."

Elder Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

He had rarely been out of Wanjian Mountain in the past five hundred years. It seemed that he had lived in vain.

If he could choose, he would like to live in Zhiqiong Peak!

He could swap with Elder Mu!

"Elder, Second Senior Sister said that this is the meat version of the Round Mooncake elixir. It is best to take it while it's hot." Hang Wan'er told him.

Elder Zhang couldn't help but be surprised.

The name of this elixir was too long and a bit weird.

"There are other versions?"

Hang Wan'er nodded and shook her head. "It should be, but Second Senior Sister hasn't refined it yet."

Elder Zhang nodded.

He immediately looked at the black porcelain dish in front of him.

The name of this round cake was also appropriate.

The surface of this cake was golden yellow, and only a clear and round red longevity character was written on it, which complemented the carved plum fruit.

Elder Zhang's old eyes were moved.

The two welcoming snacks were made especially for him by Junior Niece Su.

This kind of intention really made him feel ashamed. He didn't prepare anything for the juniors, but he was treated like this by her.

Elder Zhang sighed with emotion, "This old man will try it so that the painstaking efforts of Junior Niece Su will not be wasted."

He stretched out his hand. He quickly took the carved plum fruit and said with a smile. "One more. This old man still has the time."

In his hand, the plum fruit's vitality formation floated up in an instant. The fragrance of the fruit was immersed in his body, nourishing his flesh and the blood in his meridians. His sword-wielding Nascent Soul sitting in his dantian couldn't help but stretch his expression.

This plum fruit longevity array would probably increase his lifespan for one day.

The plums were not of good quality and the effect was small.

But Elder Zhang didn't dare to waste anything.

When the plum fruit was exhausted, he was still not satisfied. He squinted and took a round mooncake elixir from the black porcelain plate.

It was slightly hot, but the scent was fragrant. It was not very easy to take when it was placed in the mouth.

He imagined the usual way of taking elixirs and swallowing them whole.

However, this elixir was too big.

Even though he was at the peak of Nascent Soul, he couldn't swallow the whole elixir in one bite.

'Why don't you make this pill smaller, Little Su?'

While Elder Zhang was wondering, the soft skin with a hint of grain fragrance spread out from between his teeth, layer by layer like a silk yarn.

Although it was big, it didn't have the thick and dry taste of other elixirs.

It was sweet and delicious.

In an instant, it turned into a stream of vitality that poured into his dantian.

He took one and it added 30 days of life.

Elder Zhang smiled and opened his eyes, looking at the five remaining moncake pills on the stone table.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

He didn't expect his Junior Niece Su to treat him so favorably.

Elder Zhang was immediately grateful. He took a plum fruit and a round mooncake pill with his left and right hands.

He couldn't stop.

After he removed some dead energy, these pills and arrays had become addictive.

He decided to try both at the same time.

Hang Wan'er opened her mouth. "Second Senior Sister said, one sweet and one salty. They do not go together—"

Elder Zhang smiled and waved his hand. "I am at the peak of Nascent Soul. A second-grade pill that nourishes the body is taken together with a three-breath array. Don't worry. I can bear it."

After that, he activated the longevity formation with his left hand and put the round mooncake into his mouth with his right hand.

Instantaneously, two aromas, sweet and sour, the fusion of the fat of the meat and the rice taste of the skin, attacked him from both sides.

The sour taste made the sweet taste clearer.

The sweetness added depth to the saltiness.

The saltiness made the sour taste more refreshing.

In just a split second, the originally weak formation of the longevity plum and the longevity character on the round mooncake he had just half bitten complemented each other. It glowed in gold and red.

His vitality was soaring in an instant.

His teeth were hot, his meridians were hot and his whole skin was itchy.

'Sour, fragrant, hot, sweet...'

Elder Zhang was bewildered. He felt a strange discomfort in his beard.

'One Year!'

Elder Zhang stood up with a bang, overturned the stone bench behind him and was dumbfounded.

The longevity mooncake and the longevity array could complement each other when used together. The effect had been expanded several times!

"Elder, you, your beard... ah, your hair..."

Elder Zhang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly touched his most cherished white beard.
