Chapter 67(2) - Squid Ink Noodles

Hong Yun was under a lot of pressure and his face twitched a few times. "Then, I'll try it."

The four Nascent Souls of Taoist Mu jumped out immediately.

"I'll beat the eggs for you..."if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

A vortex-like high-speed rotating wind blade flew out between his four Nascent Souls fingers as he spoke. He was ready to beat the meringue for the Dirty Treasures Elixir that his disciple wanted until it swelled and became soft but did not fall off.

"No." Su Yu's beautiful voice quickly sounded from behind the bead curtain.

"The previous version was ineffective for Elder Hong. Most likely, it is not suitable for the symptom."

"I am free today, so I will make a new elixir."

The four Nascent Souls of Taoist Mu were suddenly disappointed.

It was interesting to make meringue. No, it made him understand the wind rules a little better.

Hong Yun heaved a sigh of relief.

The previous Dirty Treasure Elixir had a sweetness and softness in the first bite, which was really worth the aftertaste.

But afterwards, he tried to get rid of the dirt but couldn't get rid of it completely. Finally, he had to use spiritual water three times to clean it.

"It's been hard work, Junior Niece Su." Hong Yun was grateful. "Then I'll try something new."if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

While he was speaking, everyone smelled a wave-like fragrance.

The scent of salty and fresh seawater, like high-end seafood, drifted into the cubicle where they were talking.

Su Yu turned around, holding a white porcelain disc with a hollow circle in the middle.

The circles of lines on the round porcelain seemed to emphasize the relationship between this elixir and the waves of the sea.

Hong Yun lifted the cover expectantly.

When he looked down, his old face twitched.

He saw a pool of jet-black things hovering in the white porcelain.

If the previous Dirty Treasure Elixir had a sweet and earthy fragrance, then this black mass was the ultimate 'dirty'.

This elixir had a soft and coiling shape. It seemed to have been soaked in ink for three days and three nights. Even the bottom of the white porcelain was stained with thick ink.

Hong Yun was stunned.

'How can an elixir be so ugly?'

Su Yu was holding the plate with both hands.

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days. The reason why the previous Dirty Treasure Elixir failed is that it was not dark enough."

A dirty bun with cocoa powder was not dark enough.

If you want to talk about the ultimate darkness of the night, you have to talk about the production of these ink noodles.

When kneading this noodle, it was mixed with squid ink instead of water. Before the noodles were formed, the seafood's dark color and freshness were kneaded into the strong texture of the noodles from the inside out.

When cooking the noodles, she used shrimp heads and cuttlefish broth.

Finally, she made a smooth and delicious black sauce with cuttlefish juice. She mixed it with the noodles well and let each noodle be covered with the rich ink-dyed sauce. The taste was rich and delicious without being dry.

With this moist texture, you could taste the superposition of three layers of umami and experience the extreme combination of three layers of ink.

This time Su Yu felt very confident.

"Elder Hong, try it while it's hot."

Otherwise, the noodles would become lumpy and the fishy taste of the seafood would be revealed.

Hong Yun took a deep breath.

For the sake of Nanxun, for the sake of the ancient spiritual veins, Hong Yun would get dirty!

He took the silver chopsticks that Su Yu handed him.

In an instant, the tip of the silver chopsticks turned black.

The extreme black and silver impact made Hong Yun's hands tremble.

He had a habit of cleanliness all year round. He had never carried writing ink with him for many years, let alone let it dye his daily necessities.

Usually, in Nanxun, a book boy would grind the ink for him.

Since he entered the Nascent Soul, at most, he would write two words, and then he would stop.

Later, he spent more than ten years devoting himself to the study of talismans. He created an original method of condensing his own spiritual energy on his fingertips to write talismans. Even cinnabar and magic brushes were not needed!

There was no chance for him to get dirty.

But after so many years, he didn't expect to see this ink elixir today, which reminded him of the past when he had to write talismans with his fingertip.

Hong Yun put these two or three ink noodle pills into his mouth.

He instinctively sucked hard.

Suddenly, the ink from the end of the noodles hit his chin and splashed onto his red sleeves.

Shock!

This visual impact shook his sea of ​​consciousness!

This black, soft and smooth ink-colored juice splashed into his mouth as if thousands of waves drowned him instantly.

He closed his eyes and seemed to be surrounded by the dark ink.

'No, it's just wandering in this black color.'

'Help!'

Hong Yun almost screamed for help.

The delicious joy was a temptation, but the extreme darkness was torture.

The two were extremely contradictory, but one wave after another seemed to drown him.

Hong Yun opened his eyes.

Everyone saw his old face showing two hideous expressions of pain and joy.

He threw away the chopsticks in his hand, opened his mouth directly, inhaled all the ink pills in one mouthful, and chewed it.

His eyes were intoxicated, but the corners of his mouth sank.

Everyone couldn't tell whether this pill was useful or useless.

His posture was too violent and unsightly.

Su Yu was a little afraid that he would choke. "Slow down."

"How's it going?" Elder Zhang, who had been friends with Hong Yun for many years, couldn't help but ask questions.

Taoist Mu was holding a gourd in his hand and his expression was a little worried.

The last time he took the Cream Puff Elixir, his first Nascent Soul was about to burst.

'Why doesn't Hong Yun react at all?'

"It's all right, Disciple." Taoist Mu immediately looked at Su Yu, who was distressed, and comforted her. "Elder Hong has stayed at the peak of Nascent Soul for many years and his talisman is different from others. Even if your pill doesn't work for him, it doesn't mean your pill is not good."

He was afraid that Su Yu would lose her confidence and that her depression would lead to inner demons.

"Your teacher had used your pills and you made four Nascent Souls for your teacher. This is not your problem. It is a problem of Elder Hong himself. Don't be afraid. Your master is here."

Su Yu was stunned.

No one had said that to her for years.

It had long been a habit for her to support everything by herself.

Also—she rarely missed.

Su Yu felt a little bit constricted. There was a subtle feeling that she hadn't felt for a long time, so Master Su didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Elder Hong returned to normal quickly and glared at Taoist Mu, "Why is it my problem? Talisman art is more complicated than the wind rules of heaven and earth that you can understand."

Talisman to mobilize the power of heaven and earth involved many rules.

When he drew the attacking talisman, he mobilized the golden aura. For a defensive talisman, he mobilized the earthly aura...

He tried to understand everything. Each understanding was not that good, but it involved a wide range. However, it was best to choose one of the rules and ponder deeply.

Hong Yun also knew that he might not be able to understand everything before his life essence was exhausted.

He had already made up his mind to choose one, but he was not sure which way to go.

It wasn't until he saw the vision of heaven and earth from Little Niece Su's elixir that he chose to take the road of concealment.

However, he used to cover a wide range of fields under the talisman art and he was really not proficient in this particular rule.

Sighed.

It was normal not to have an epiphany after taking the pill.

Hong Yun had observed it for a long time and had already discovered it.

"Niece Su," he said helplessly, "it's really not your problem. It's that I don't know enough about the origin of the concealment rules. Your pills often require the user to accumulate enough experience. Only then can the Dao be awakened in a natural way. Your elixir just helps us to obtain the approval and blessing of the rules of heaven and earth."

'So he is lacking his own understanding.'

Su Yu nodded. She guessed that was the case.

Master Su could not create anything out of nothing.

But soon, a laugh came out of Taoist Mu's mouth.

Then with a few puffs, Hang Wan'er and the other disciples glanced at Elder Hong Yun and hurriedly bowed their heads while their shoulders shook.

"What?"

Hong Yun raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong with me?"

Immediately he made a symbol of water and reflected himself against a pool of clear water.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen

Soon, he froze.

He saw that his beard was a little black.

From his open mouth, his teeth were even more smudged with ink. His tongue was also coated in black, and he couldn't see the original color.

Hong Yun: ...

He immediately took out his handkerchief and wiped his beard hard, but he couldn't wipe the blackness off.

Hong Yun's sea of ​​consciousness was tumbling and his heart was anxious.

"Disciple, your ink pill today is too powerful...haha..."

Taoist Mu finally couldn't help laughing.

But halfway through his laugh, he stopped.

He saw Hong Yun's spell.

A steady stream of dazzling white light fell on his mouth, beard and red robe.

After a while, Taoist Mu realized that this was pure spiritual energy!

White light, as bright as day, dispelled all darkness at night.

Clear and pure as if to remove all contamination.

In an instant, a Nascent Soul jumped out of Hong Yun's body, and its aura kept rising.

A steady stream of light was drawn into his body.

The Nascent Soul in his body differed from that of Taoist Mu and Luo Yu. The Nascent Soul was holding the talisman in one hand and lifting its finger in the other.

Everyone could see at a glance that it was making a dust removal technique.

"Elder Hong's Nascent Soul has been running the dust removal technique non-stop?"

Hang Wan'er was surprised.

His Nascent Soul was almost spotless. Except for the talisman wrapped around him, the rest was extremely neat.

At this moment, a steady stream of dazzling white light poured in.

In an instant, the Nascent Soul lit up like the sun.

Golden Core disciples with a low cultivation base could not help shedding tears.

Su Yu couldn't bear to look directly at this... big incandescent lamp.

Its wattage was still rising, one bulb by one bulb lit up in an instant. No, one by one, a bright Nascent Soul appeared.

Hong Yun opened his eyes. The red robe on his body instantly turned into a gleaming silver robe.

"I got it."

"It turns out that the ink pill given by Junior Niece Su is to let this old man find that ray of clean brilliance in the endless darkness."

Su Yu was speechless.

Hong Yun was enlightened and grateful. Regardless of his seniority, he bowed to Su Yu.

"Thank you, Little Su, for waking me up."

He had been obsessed with cleanliness for many years. He had sacrificed part of his spiritual power to maintain his cleanliness over and over again.

He even stagnated for the sake of studying the cleanest way to draw talismans.

At this moment, he realized.

The opposite of filth was his Dao, which was in harmony with himself!

This realization, as natural as drinking water, condensed four extreme yang Nascent Souls.

There was one yin and one yang between heaven and earth.

When the weather was light and clear, it was yang. The earth was turbid as yin.

His way was the way of the sun.

'Back kitchen lighting, yes.'

Master Su looked at the four high-brightness incandescent lamp-like Nascent Souls with complicated expressions.

There was one question she didn't know how to ask.

How should they hide half of the ancient spiritual veins?

Master Su's head throbbed.

She didn't expect Elder Hong Yun's cleanliness obsession to be so powerful.

---

The next day.

Under the reluctance of the disciples in the north, Nanxun finally boarded their boat.

Su Yu waved to Wei Shuang and Xue Ning with a smile.

"Goodbye."

There was a trace of loss in the eyes of Wei Shuang and Xue Ning, but they quickly changed to slyness. "Okay, Sister Su, fate will definitely come soon."

They watched the boat leave.

Not long after, the boat was moving fast and gradually disappeared from their sight.

Soon, when the night sky fell, there were scattered cultivators ready to start their evil plans secretly.

But suddenly, a dazzling light like daylight hit them.

This light reached almost all directions, spreading like a ray of sun.

It immediately exposed their evil deeds to the sun.

Loose cultivators: "??"

Passersby cultivators from the north and the flying boats of other southern sects returning to their sects, all flew quickly.

"The night is like the day. Is this a treasure from heaven and earth?"

"Go and see! When a spirit treasure is born, those who see it have a share!"

In an instant, everyone appeared in front of the boat that was shining as bright as the middle of the day.

The loose cultivator, who was going to make a sneak attack, but instead attracted attention: "...!"

'Excuse me.'

'I need to go.'
