Chapter 39: Boiled Fish Helps Me Read
There was an uproar in the audience area.
"What happened? I have never seen a disciple get up again after falling asleep here..."
"Are all of those Qi Refining disciples awake?"if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
The Precepts Hall elders and the eleven peak masters could not help but leaned forward from their seats, hoping to figure out the situation in the library.
"Could it be that there has been a lack of maintenance of the Wordless Book?" The eleventh-place peak master, Yuan Rong, asked curiously.
A red-robed elder shook his head. "A celestial book's spiritual power is undiminished. The main celestial book is still in the Precepts Hall. I checked it yesterday and there was no problem."
The Wordless Book was a sixth-grade magic weapon that Nanxun Sect obtained many years ago in the ancient secret realm.
Thousands of people below the Nascent Soul level could simultaneously read it.
However, it did not have a single word inside.
"Could it be she refined tools that found the way to read the scripture?"
The red-robed elder thought for a moment. "There is no actual word in the book. What they will see all depends on the disciple's recent experience. We have tried many times. The higher the disciple's understanding and cultivation, the more they can read. If they are diligent in their cultivation and only one step away from enlightenment, they will gain something when they read it. The book will only help them realize an epiphany."
These words made the onlookers who were watching the game today stunned and envious.
This competition was both an assessment and an opportunity.
Usually, disciples didn't have the opportunity to read the Wordless Book. The Precepts Hall would take it out only at the time of the big competition.
Who didn't want an opportunity like this?
They envy the disciples of these third-class peaks!
"But to be fair, even if we were given a chance, most of us would fall asleep. Didn't they say that disciples in Qi Refining would fall asleep and it's hard to hold on in Foundation Building?"
"That's right. But what happened to Zhiqiong Peak!"
Everyone's astonished eyes could not help but focus on what was happening in the library projected by the shadow formation again. They forgot about the other eleven peaks' disciples who were preparing to get down the Bitao Mountain and rushed to the library.
'What happened?'
In the library, Su Yu was holding an iron wok. She poured the red, bright and tender steamed fish fillets into a big white porcelain bowl.
Boiled fish had a strong but fresh flavor.
Different from exquisite Huaiyang cuisine, it had a bold aesthetic and exquisite pleasure.
The steaming heat could make people sweat whether they ate it in winter or in summer.
This dish was known as boiled fish because an indispensable step was to pour the boiling oil into the dish for the second time after the dish was served.
Su Yu lowered her eyebrows before lighting the iron wok again with her spirit fire. She fried a layer of cornel peppers and peppercorns in the boiling oil until it was fragrant. In a flash, she poured the oil into the white porcelain bowl containing the smooth and tender second-grade stingray fish.
In an instant, there was a sizzling sound. The boiling oil completely scorched and forced out the aroma of fish meat and the spicy aroma of cornels and peppercorns.
In that instant, the sound of crackling spices and the explosive aroma filled the 12th floor of the library.
Domineering and empowering.
Several disciples woke up in an instant.
Hot, spicy and double-stimulating. It rushed into their five senses unreasonably.
More importantly, the smell awoke their body's memory.
In the Meditation Hall, as long as they persisted for a while, they could smell the aroma of their Second Senior Sister's shrimp elixir whenever they were tired and they all knew that it was time for their Second Senior Sister to feed them!
Now they were in distress, so as soon as they smelled the gushing aroma, they felt that it was time to get fed.
"Save my dog life, Second Senior Sister—"
"Fifth Senior Brother, I'm so sleepy. Can you feed me the pill?"
The disciples, who had just fallen asleep but were still in light sleep, struggled to wake up. They stretched out their troubled hands towards the front, so confused and powerless.
Su Yu raised her eyelids and put the boiled fish in the middle of the crowd. "This time, you can't take elixirs. Senior Sister will just let you smell the scent to cheer you up."
Looking at juicy plums would quench thirst. Looking at this fantasy fish would make them study hard.
'Second Senior Sister is the devil, right?'
Zhao Ran poked his temples with both hands.
He wanted to wake up. He wanted to read.
After smelling the aroma of this elixir, he seemed to be okay again.
However, after a while, the strong aroma of the boiling fish gradually drifted away and weakened.
When he looked at the Wordless Book, his spiritual sense that was clear for a moment became chaotic again. His eyelids drooped down once again.
The same was true for most of the other disciples.
"It still doesn't work."
The Peak Masters were also discussing.
"I know that even if she can refine alchemy, this level is not so easy. Although I don't know how she woke up the disciples, they went back to sleep. What's the use of it?"
But soon, they saw Su Yu in the projection array with her hands behind her back, frowning and walking around for two steps.
Immediately she lit her iron wok with a spirit fire.
Not long after, the constant voices of the disciples of Zhiqiong Peak came from the projection array.
"Huh? It smells so good... I'm awake again?"
"Ah, I fell asleep again, but now I'm awake!"
Onlookers: ...
The disciples of Zhiqiong Peak slept and woke up. Slept and woke up again. It was even more lively than any assessment.
Even though these people were at a library, listening to this conversation, people would think it was an inn at the foot of the mountain.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
At the viewing seats, the Precepts elders who made the challenge all have their foreheads twitching.
"It's hilarious!"
The second place Peak Master, Yi Ge, glanced at Chen Shuxin, his beloved disciple who finally arrived at the foot of Bitao Mountain. Then he looked at Zhiqiong Peak and snorted coldly, "Zhiqiong Peak disciples simply disrespect the Holy Land of Library Pavilion. We asked them to comprehend the Wordless Book, an opportunity others don't have, but they are like this."
"The peak master took the lead to concoct alchemy inside. She was already told that no one could take alchemy in this competition, but now this image is clearly overflowing with the fragrance of elixirs. The medicinal power and aura are scattered from the elixir, and the disciples inhaled more or less when they fell asleep. Elders of the Precept Hall, isn't this a violation?"
"However, their second round qualifications haven't been disqualified yet! What are you waiting for?" Yi Ge stretched out his hand and looked left and right, "Fellow Peak Masters, let's vote together."
As soon as he finished talking, the other nine peaks nodded, but a cold snort from someone at the peak of Nascent Soul sounded.
They suddenly turned pale. Under pressure, they could not speak.
They were also Nascent Souls but compared to Elder Zhang, who had been cultivating for five hundred years and was about to be transformed, they were too far behind.
"Who violated the rules? Is smelling the smell count as taking an elixir? Elder Zhang raised his eyebrows. "Okay, in the future, I will send some medicinal pills to your peak and then I will take them back after three days! It will count as you ate it. So you have to pay it back to me! "
"..."
'Does this make sense?'
The Peak Masters were speechless.
Just as Elder Zhang felt that he had a complete victory, everyone looked at the projection again. His old face also changed and he secretly shouted in his heart.
"He is taking pills. It is against the rules!" The sixth place peak master stood up with a smile.
"Little Sixteenth, don't take it—"
In the library, Hang Wan'er also exclaimed suddenly.
However, it was too late. Zhao Ran had stared at the fish for a while and subconsciously leaned over to the bowl of red soup closest to him, then took a sip.
Zhao Ran was shocked. The sky-like pungency rushed across his forehead and his mouth instantly seemed to be on fire.
The overbearing stimulation and the delicious softness were magically combined.
He was still thinking about it when a figure appeared in front of him. He was about to open his mouth to speak. It was the red-robed elder they were familiar with.
"Foul. It is forbidden to take pills."
Rules were rules. Once they were set, they must not be violated.
He frowned and looked at Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran's face was pale when facing an elder in Nascent Soul level, but he had seen Elder Zhang a few times. He quickly regained his composure.
After a long while, under the attention of everyone, he stood up with a pale face. "Elder, I'm not wrong. I didn't take any pill."
The onlookers in front of the projection array: "?"
The sixth place peak master: "?"
The judging elder in the library stood while his expression moved slightly. "Don't argue. I feel the aura fluctuating in your mouth."
"I really don't—"
Zhao Ran was secretly eating with his sleeves covering his mouth. He couldn't help but put down the sleeve of his clothes.
"In my mouth is the magic weapon that Second Senior Sister just refined!"
Onlookers: "!?"
Sixth place peak master: "Absurd!"
In the viewing seat, the peak masters all laughed.
However, when they saw Zhao Ran again, he opened his mouth and a real treasure light flickered in his mouth.
Under his panic rebuttal, the magic weapon fell to the floor of the library with a clang.
Although the projection array was not clear enough, it was enough for everyone to see what fell on the ground—
'Not elixir.'
It was a jade-clear magic comb with well-proportioned comb teeth. Two red agate gems flashed on the tips of the teeth, showing a hint of steam just out of the wok.
Everyone: ...
On his seat, Elder Zhang's mouth twitched, but he quickly coughed. "It turned out to be a magic weapon. Alas, some people are clumsy. How can there be any elixir?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the sixth place peak master. "Wo Zuozhu, you will prepare a gift of apology later and give it to Zhiqiong Peak! Otherwise, don't think about leaving today!"
The sixth place peak master was dumbfounded.
In the library...
Su Yu put away her iron wok, looked calm and stepped forward lightly. "Elder, is there any problem? Can we continue to have an epiphany?"
'Were you having an epiphany?'
Elder Hong wanted to ask a question, but in the end, he was silent. He just took a deep look at little Sixteenth, Zhao Ran.
"Take a good look around. The library is not a place to play. Don't make a joke."
'Wrong!'
Zhao Ran's slightly chubby face was full of grievances.
"I'm not joking around."
The ruling elder's eyes were half-closed, "...Don't put magic weapons in your mouth." Did he have to say it so clearly?
Zhao Ran sucked his breath and did not dare to refute anymore. He only dared to mumble, "But Second Senior Sister's lucky treasures have to come out from the mouth."
The judging elder's eyebrows twitched suddenly.
"Sixteenth, don't argue with the elder." Su Yu held her forehead.
If she listened to this guy any longer, she would faint.
She looked at the fish bones that Zhao Ran spat out on the ground. A second-grade jade comb was formed.
She really didn't want to take a second look at it.
"Pick up what you spit out."
Master Su couldn't bear to throw away food.
"Come on. Several lucky treasures in this soup can be opened. You can choose. It all started from second grade this time!"
Ignoring the expression of the judging elder with shocked and staring eyes, Zhao Ran quickly picked up the jade comb on the floor. He rinsed it with spiritual water and wiped it with his sleeve.
He held it in his hand happily. Before he could input much spiritual energy, the jade comb flew to the back of his head.
This second-grade magic weapon had directly recognized its master!
The judging elder was amazed.
Everyone saw it.
This disciple's speech was weird and no one really knew why he put a comb magic weapon in his mouth.
However, how to treat your magic weapon was your own habit.
Even if the sect master came, he couldn't control this.
Everyone just thought it was a new thing. They quickly divert their attention.
Only Qian Qingqiu, standing in the corner, and his younger brother, Lin Zhen, were extremely surprised.
"Senior Brother, they mentioned opening lucky treasures again. Could it be related to eating?"
Qian Qingqiu smiled wryly. He didn't know either.
And after he listened, he too... kinda wanted to try. What the hell?
Lin Zhen also looked at the projection array with envy. "Second-grade magic comb. She can refine it as well."
Qian Qingqiu nodded, but a worry flashed across his face.
At this moment, why would she refine this thing?
This comb seemed to be a magic weapon for attacking. It should not help with the epiphany of the Wordless Book.
If Zhiqiong Peak couldn't comprehend it after a long time, even if they didn't sleep, they would not be able to leave the library. Soon, other peaks would surpass them.
Qian Qingqiu, at the peak of Golden Core, could see this kind of problem. So, of course, all the Nascent Soul Peak Masters and elders could see it.
But soon.
In the image projected, some combs glowing with precious light flew up. Some were second-grade and some were even third-grade!
They each flew to the back of each Zhiqiong Peak's disciple's hair.
It was automatically attached to their scalp and then combed up and down.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"What is this magic weapon?"
"The effect is-"
No one knew.
But soon, they all understood.
In the projection, the chubby disciple who attracted the red-robed elder, sat upright in front of the incomparably difficult wordless scripture.
At first, he was sleepy and didn't know what the wordless scripture said. However, at the moment, he was combed by the second-grade jade comb and he kept nodding at the wordless scripture.
He seemed to be chanting in a low voice.
"So it is like this."
"Oh, now I seem to suddenly understand-"
The audience in front of the projection array: "???"
'My gosh, do these combs add brains?'
