Chapter 70- Tofu Skin Soup
At the rear of the kitchen of Zhiqiong Peak, Xiao Muge looked at his Second Junior Sister. She was dressed in bright clothes which could not hide her bright eyes. He found that she was very different from before.
Su Yu also raised her neck slowly and took advantage of her spare time to meet him.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
He really came back earlier than the novel.
After assessing him for a while, Master Su became stunned in the reclining chair.
She looked at the white cloth wrapped in layers on his hands and was shocked. "Who... who did this?"
Master Su remembered those hands.
When those hands handed the Zhiqiong peak master's small seal to her, the joints were clear, slender and strong, without calluses or scars.
Such an exquisite asset should be included in her kitchen as her pastry chef.
But now, those beautiful hands were wrapped in layers of gauze. Master Su's heart was tight.
There were many pastry chefs in the world, but few were born skilled.
As she was staring at Xiao Muge with such worried eyes, his Dao Heart, which had always been neutral, trembled slightly for no reason.
Xiao Muge couldn't help but feel a little warm when his hands were being watched.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"... It was wrapped by your eldest brother. There is no problem."
On hearing this, Su Yu noticed that the way the white cloth was wrapped was quite neat.
'He is really a master of making zongzi.'
'Seventh Sister has practiced for a long time, but they are not as beautiful and meticulous as his wrapping.'
Su Yu's eyes lit up. "How many days are you going to stay here this time?"
Second Junior Sister needed him.
Xiao Muge was stared at with her bright eyes. Beneath the bamboo hat, he couldn't say that he was going to soar in a few years at most.
Just as he was about to speak, a mirage-like phantom loomed in the north.
Twelve bells resounding in Nanxun meant that there was a highest-level event happening.
Su Yu suddenly raised her pretty jade-like face, which was not tarred by the kitchen fire, and stared into the distance.
When Xiao Muge saw her pink cheeks and red lips, he couldn't help being fascinated. Even the vision of the sky couldn't get into his eyes.
At that moment, he could only see those lips opened and closed. Also her slender fingers holding a jasper tea cup, which made her hands seem as bright as snow.
A beautiful but not weak voice resounded from Su Yu's lips. "It seems that there is a major event. Um, Seventh Junior Sister, ask several senior brothers to come back."
Xiao Muge: "..."
He immediately said, "Sister, this is a Buddhist Sect's prophecy."
Su Yu and Hang Wan'er were stunned.
Several sects from the north eventually bought the three prophecies given by the Buddhist Sect.
"This is a prophecy imaging." Xiao Muge, wearing a bamboo hat, looked at the mirage in the sky. "An ancient secret realm without a master is about to appear."
"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. When disaster strikes, the ancient secret realm will come out to find its owner. Let the other party inherit the treasures of heaven and earth and fight against this disaster that may destroy the world."
Su Yu squinted.
She didn't expect this senior brother to speak in rhythm like a kitchen timer.
Two words in one second. If a convoy of chefs was cooking in tandem using this rhythm, there was no need to worry about overcooking.
Her eyes flickered and her mind wandered openly.
Hang Wan'er took a deep breath. "Is it the disaster of destruction caused by the demons predicted by the Buddhist Sect a hundred years ago?"
It was said that the demons once attacked 800 years ago and human cultivators stubbornly resisted them.
More than 20 great masters in the tribulation stage died and nearly 100 Divine Transformation cultivators fell. The demons were barely, reluctantly, repelled.
Since then, human cultivation had become sluggish.
Nowadays, human cultivators had no power to transcend calamity and there were only a handful of Divine Transformation cultivators. For example, they didn't have any late-stage ones in Nanxun.
If the demons really come again this time, could human cultivators resist them?
Hang Wan'er couldn't help looking at the mirage that hadn't dissipated in the air.
Su Yu was also watching the prophecy at the moment.
The phantom seemed to be showing the wreckage of a palace garden. There appeared to be giant bodies on the ground everywhere—
Large turkeys.
Fat shrimps.
Giant matsutakes.
...
"Hey, that ancient beast... is that a frozen corpse of a seventh-grade mutant Evil Emperor Firebird?" Hang Wan'er also saw the bird and commented.
'Seventh-grade.'
'Evil Emperor Turkey.'
Sure enough. The turkey legs were sturdy and their wings were also strong.
Su Yu couldn't help but move her fingers.
Xiao Muge glanced at her. "Junior Sister is not feeling well?"
"Hmm, my hand is a little itchy."
"..."
After showing the corpses of beasts, the third prophecy flashed away like a shooting star. A total of five elements, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, fell into the West Sea.
Hang Wan'er blurted out, "Does this indicate the location of the ancient secret palace? It seems to refer to the Five Elements Palace in the West Sea. There is a legend that the entrance to the ancient secret palace is stationed there. It may be true."
While they were talking, Nanxun Sect called the core elders and all disciples together.
Taoist Mu flew out of the small courtyard and stood on the top of their peak.
Not long after, Qing Xuan's voice resounded through Nanxun.
"Elders and disciples, the ancient secret palace in the West Sea will be available in thirty days. All cultivators below the Nascent Soul who have practiced for less than two hundred years are eligible for recognition as a master of each ancient secret palace."
"Nanxun will also participate in the exploration of the secret palace."
After he finished talking, Qing Xuan turned and arrived at the top of Zhiqiong Peak.
He nodded to Taoist Mu, then glanced at Su Yu, who was in the back kitchen.
"Elder Mu, Junior Niece Little Su."
"The head has just participated in discussion with other sects. According to the prophecy of the Buddhist Sect, the ancient secret palace that will be opened this time will accept at most 100 cultivators who do not exceed the Divine Transformation stage."
Taoist Mu frowned. "Only 100 places? There are no less than a hundred sects and cultivator families. Wouldn't that be a head-scratcher!" He stretched out his hand and a breeze from his sleeve lifted and brought Su Yu and the others in front of his seat.
He wanted them to come and listen.
Qing Xuan glanced at Xiao Muge and paused immediately when he looked at the cloth strips all over him.
But he quickly got back to the point. "That's why I'm here."
"The Five Elements Palace in the West Sea appeared in the third prophecy. The head received an invitation letter from the Five Elements Palace just now. The ancient palace in the West Sea is now open."
When she heard the name of the Five Elements Palace, Su Yu's five-element cauldron was very excited.
But she suppressed it.
Xiao Muge's eyes under his hat seemed to sweep across her dantian. But when he saw the slender waist wrapped by a silver silk belt under a soft gauze yellow satin, he couldn't help but feel warm in his ears. His probing consciousness disappeared in an instant.
Just in time for Su Yu to properly educate the five-element cauldron in her dantian and made it quiet.
"Five Elements Palace... It seems that the invasion of demons is really not far away." Taoist Mu looked solemn and the four Nascent Souls in his body were thinking simultaneously.
Taoist Mu explained to his disciples. "The Five Elements Palace has always been hidden in the West Sea and cannot be found. But every time there is a catastrophe, the ancient secret realm appears, and the Five Elements Palace will also be opened to look for a successor. The last time it happened was eight hundred years ago."
Su Yu looked strange.
She forcibly restrained herself so that she didn't immediately look inside her dantian.
'The Five Elements Palace is looking for a successor. Why is the cauldron so excited?'
"The Five Elements Palace has five main palaces. They are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, representing the five rules of heaven and earth. It is said that the five palace masters have to be at least in the Divine Transformation stage, and there are no less than 100 disciples who will get Five Elements Magical Treasures, and a number of medicinal remedies."if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
"Every time it is opened, cultivators under the age of 200 can go to the palace. As long as one of the main palaces recognized them, they could become the successor of that palace and obtain a series of support for their forces."
Taoist Mu sighed.
"If you don't succeed in gaining the appreciation of the palace master, you may also get an understanding of the art of five elements."
The current Shuilingmen's water arts, Qingrongmen's wood arts and Jin Haotian's fire art... These were from the Five Elements Palace when it was opened 800 years ago.
When it was opened eight hundred years ago, several sects related to the five elements rose.
Hang Wan'er's eyes were bright when she heard this. "Master, I also read in the records that the five successors of the Five Elements Palace 800 years ago not only became the head of the five palaces but one of them was also recognized as the master of the ancient secret palace. Is it true?"
Qing Xuan nodded. "So this time, the major sects have unanimously decided to go to the Five Elements Palace to try first, to see if they can get the qualifications and rewards as a successor of whichever palace, and then go to the ancient secret palace."
Taoist Mu couldn't help but hold his breath. "The inheritance of the five elements and the qualification of the ancient secret palace. I didn't expect that I could see it with my own eyes."
Su Yu touched her nose while listening.
There were five elements in the Five Elements Palace, each of which was the origin of each art.
What was the relationship between her dantian's cauldron and the Five Elements Palace?
In the novel, the Five Elements Palace in the West Sea was a place where the fate of the heroine and the hero were deeply intertwined.
The male protagonist was the young master of the West Sea's Leiyun Sect. He was later recognized by the Water Palace. While the Fire Palace recognized the female protagonist with the help of Jin Haotian and the Son of Buddha.
In the meantime, the wood palace recognized the young master of the Hehuan Sect...
Su Yu glanced at the cauldron inside her body.
It seemed that these five palaces should be looking for five different heirs every time they appeared.
Her cauldron moved around amongst the five elements. It did not seem to belong to any single element.
'Is it possible that it wants it all?'
Su Yu's mouth twitched.
The green bamboo on Qing Xuan's sleeves fluttered, unfolding a jade talisman.
"There are only 100 places to explore the ancient secret palace this time, which coincides with the opening of the Five Elements Palace in the West Sea. The result of the sect leaders' discussion is that as long as you can get the approval of one of the five palaces, you can directly occupy ten places to enter the ancient secret palace."
Taoist Mu frowned. "The Five Elements Palaces have all the power of the five elements. The techniques of Jinbamen, Qingrongmen and Shuilingmen were all derived from it. I am afraid that they have great advantages, so there are only fifty places left."
Su Yu's face was calm.
In the second half of the novel, the heroine eventually became the master of the ancient secret palace.
Even if others got the entry, they were all supporting roles.
Nanxun seemed to have only won two places in the end, just enough to get a few spirit grass.
Qing Xuan chuckled and looked at Su Yu with a smile.
"The two sect masters of Jinbamen and Shuilingmen told us just now that they hope to cooperate with us in the Five Elements Palace. If they get the ten places, they will divide it with us according to our contribution."
"They also asked, Junior Niece Su, are you participating?"
Su Yu coughed lightly.
"Of course, Second Senior Sister will." Hang Wan'er clenched her fists. "I said it before that Second Senior Sister can bring back the ancient secret palace. Ah, I, Hang Wan'er, had predicted it!"
Qing Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Su Yu: "..."
Su Yu nodded. "Okay, then I'll try it."
The cauldron in her body was swaying. She was afraid that something would happen if she didn't give in.
It didn't stop until she agreed.
Qing Xuan smiled. "Okay, no matter what the result is, Junior Su doesn't have to be burdened."
He didn't put any pressure on Su Yu. He was relaxed and calm when he arrived at Zhiqiong Peak.
But Taoist Mu understood that it was the time when Nanxun needed big opportunities the most.
Now they had the spirit veins and spirit stones, but they didn't have enough masters.
Worst-case scenario, once Qing Xuan left, only the head, He Tong, could look after the whole sect.
If demons really came to attack, they didn't know if Nanxun could bear the brunt or if the whole sect would be wiped out.
If they could get a five-element palace, then there was hope.
"Then I'll leave first." Qing Xuan said goodbye and instantly disappeared leaving green bamboo images.

In the Tiansheng Sect.
Mei Zhen'er walked into the hall softly and bonelessly, making all the disciples she passed blush.
"The West Sea's Five Elements Palace is the entrance to the ancient secret palace. If you get the inheritance of the Five Elements Palace, you can get the spiritual key to enter the ancient secret palace. The Divine Transformation Cultivation Techniques in the secret palace belong to you, the sovereign of human destiny."
She smiled and looked at the man with the scroll in his hand, covering the string of grey mist beads that trembled endlessly on her wrists.
"And I want something from the Five Elements Palace—Dad."
Mei Youde put down the scroll elegantly and touched the scar between his fingers.
"Okay, Dad depends on you."
"Divine Transformation or above are not allowed to enter the Five Elements Palace. You suppress your Nascent Soul. Don't break through."
As he was speaking, he opened page after page.
With every page turned, a majestic character flew out from the scroll. A total of five characters floated in front of him.
"I will send you five characters. Each character is equivalent to Dad's avatar, and it can last for one incense stick."
Mei Zhen'er smiled and nodded.
Even though Mei Youde was in the middle stage of Mahayana, he could only condense ten clones in total.
But when Mei Zhen'er held these five characters, a sect like Nanxun could be killed in one hit.
The Five Elements Palace must be hers... She suppressed the twinkle in her eyes and touched the beads.
If the legend was true, the Lord of the Five Elements Palace was expected to soar!
She destroyed her body, sold her soul, obeyed Mei Youde and robbed people's fortune. Everything was worth it.
---
Three days later, the West Sea's Five Elements Palace officially opened.
Over Nanxun, flying boats passed by and sailed to the West Sea.
The Shuilingmen and Bingling Sect set out from the north.
Wei Shuang and Xue Ning decided to take Nanxun's boat to travel with Su Yu. They would join their sect when they arrived.
Jin Haotian too.
Su Yu travelled with Hang Wan'er, Yu Dong and Yan Yan. Nanxun also carefully selected other disciples related to the five elements.
Everyone in Nanxun watched them leave.
Wei Zhao and Lu Yizhou stayed behind this time. When they could no longer see the trace of the boat, they took their brothers and sisters to practice in the secret realm.
Halfway through, Wei Zhao patted his forehead. "Where's eldest senior brother?"
---
Xiao Muge was standing on the boat beside Taoist Mu. They were looking at Su Yu speaking as the leader of the disciples. "Old rules," she raised her hand. "This time, it's the swearing-in banquet."
Su Yu swept towards everyone. "Before, I always felt that something was missing."
She looked at Nanxun's different styles of robes and then at Shuilingmen and Bingling Sect's butterfly and flower robes and frost flower dresses.
How could a chef not have a uniform?
It was also because she was so busy that she never had time to start. She only remembered it again today.
'Uniforms... Can it rely on Master Su to cook a meal?'
Su Yu remembered those high-priced dresses she bought in the past. Most of which were made of snow gauze-like fabrics with clear materials or silky and shiny satin-like materials.
"The lightness of the cloth is very important to cultivators."
Taoist Mu was the most particular about his immortal style. He was wearing at least three layers of robes from the inside to the outside. Each layer was extremely thin and fluttering like a fairy, swaying with the wind.
Taoist Mu smiled and suggested this to his second disciple.
"The formation method with its own dust removal technique is better." Elder Hong Yun disagreed.
Hang Wan'er spoke on behalf of female cultivators. "It's better to have a different style of dress to distinguish it from male cultivators."
Wei Shuang also nodded and made some suggestions. "Isn't Nanxun's specialty swordsmanship? Then it's better to have a sword pattern."
Xiao Muge said, "Breathability."
Master Su: "..."
Diners asked for a lot.
Breathability was indeed her first consideration.
Breathable fabric, light and refreshing, light and fluffy.
That made her think of two things. One was the silk-like tofu skin containing thousands of sheets. The other was the translucent and drapey yuba skin.
Master Su soon started.
She simmered soybean juice on low heat. Master Su only used a long chopstick to gently pick up a piece of almost transparent swaying tofu skin, as thin as cicada wings. After cooling slightly, it was like a thin cloth hanging on the sides of the chopsticks.
This layer of cloth was as thin as a single yarn, as light as smoke.
Hang Wan'er couldn't help but lit up.
Wei Shuang and Xue Ning were both excited.
"It's like water flowing. There is still some shine on the texture and it doesn't feel dirty at all."
"It seems to be a third-grade halo. Sister Su, is this a third-grade magic weapon?"
Hang Wan'er boldly pulled out her silver hairpin and poked it.
The clear fabric rippled with a stab of the silver hairpin. The force from the hairpin was released like water and the silver hairpin slipped over it at once, neither withdrawing nor breaking.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
The three girls couldn't help touching it fondly.
Su Yu also nodded in appreciation.
She was ready to continue, but she was thunderstruck.
Wei Shuang also found out the problem and spread the silk-like cloth about ten feet long to Hang Wan'er.
"Sister Su, if you want to cut this fabric, do you need to find a fourth-grade flying needle magic weapon and scissors first? Also, at least the sewing master needs to be a Golden Core."
Su Yu: "..."
Tailoring. She forgot about this.
This was embarrassing.
But a muslin-bound hand stretched out in front of her eyes.
At the same time, Hang Wan'er's happy voice sounded. "It's okay. There's Eldest Senior Brother here! When we were young, Eldest Senior Brother mended our clothes."
Su Yu: "??"
"Hmm."
Xiao Muge's cultivation speed was usually too fast.
In order to slow himself down, he used to do all kinds of chores on Zhiqiong Peak. In addition to teaching his junior brothers and sisters, he grew bamboo trees, built a small kitchen, sewed clothes and struck iron by himself.
In contrast to Su Yu's stunned expression, Zhiqiong Peak's disciples were all calm. Xiao Muge borrowed his Sixth Brother's flying sword to cut the cloth and took out black iron needles that he had collected for many years from his storage bag.
Suddenly, a simple and elegant three-pin gauze skirt was completed by his ingenuity.
'He turned out to be a craftsman.'
Su Yu was amazed.
Master Su was right. Those slender fingers with clear joints were a pair of excellent crafty hands.
Su Yu's back kitchen needed warm and skilful hands like this.
Hang Wan'er and the others happily put their new clothes on.
The tofu skin robe was light and thin but had some toughness. After a little oxidation, the original milky white colour presented an elegant moonlight-like shine.
In addition, Su Yu made wide vermicelli which became a white jade belt. She also made the jasper belt version.
"I feel so light now..."
Hang Wan'er made a spin.
The skirt was like a pleated fairy skirt, with fine and vertical folds. She felt as if she was wearing faint moonlight on her body.
With a slight turn, the fine pleats of the dress were like ripples in the moon-shrouded lake, fluttering like a fairy.
'Beautiful.'
Su Yu smiled and folded the tofu skin. She made a yuba with many pleats—no, a pleated skirt.
'Cough.'
Both male and female disciples were very happy.
Taoist Mu was riding the wind even more smoothly. He felt that he was under the moonlight. His sleeves and robes fluttered weightlessly, and he chanted a poem happily. "I want to ride the wind to go home..."
Halfway through the recitation, the four Nascent Souls in his body were wandering. "No, I seem to have a breakthrough."
"Damn, my primordial spirit has not yet been condensed and there is still a long way to go, but I feel that my primordial spirit is about to burst."
"Wearing such a flowing robe, when the wind blew the pleats, I felt like it was going to float. My body became lighter... and my understanding of the wind became even higher."
"Unfortunately, I still haven't reached the threshold of spiritual cohesion. How can I condense a primordial spirit?"
'Hey.'
The four little Nascent Souls also thought hard and soon they were all sitting cross-legged.
Who would have thought, just by changing the kitchen uniform, Taoist Mu would have an epiphany again.
Elder Zhang and Hong Yun were very envious.
Even Xiao Muge couldn't help sighing. He looked at Su Yu's red lips raised in satisfaction when she bowed her head to appreciate the hem of her skirt.
'There seems to be a way everywhere.'
"Eldest Senior Brother, why don't you put on our new uniform?"
Hang Wan'er couldn't help asking questions.
The more she faced a sword cultivator, the more she wanted to vomit. But she was more courageous now. She forcibly restrained herself and experienced her own Dao Heart.
She held the two extra sets of robes and showed them to Xiao Muge from afar.
"Doesn't Eldest Senior Brother like this elegant fabric? I think Master wears it, and he is more than fifty years older than you." Hang Wan'er was curious.
Yu Dong and Yan Yan could not help but look over.
Even Yan Yan, who liked strong-looking clothes, got a set of these new elegant robes to wear over his usual clothes.
Although it was very strange, this was a gift from his Second Senior Sister. It was also a magic weapon of the third grade!
He thought that it was very practical and his chances of success in revenge had increased by one point.
"Eldest Senior Brother," Yan Yan rarely spoke, "A cultivator should cherish the opportunities around us. Second Senior Sister rarely made third-grade defense fabrics for us."
Yu Dong had wanted to put three layers on himself and he was surprised to hear that.
"Don't you like it?"
The beautiful Son of Buddha had put them on long ago. "This Senior Brother feels very good."
Xiao Muge: "..."
This third-grade magic clothing, just like the elixirs she made, was ineffective against him.
"Hey, don't be embarrassed, Disciple."
Taoist Mu immediately whipped up a gust of wind and put the robe on Xiao Muge.
The instant the magic clothes belt was tied around him, it didn't emit three lights; instead, it revealed his strong chest wrapped in white cloth...
The texture was undulating and the lines were deep. Even the white cloth could not hide the explosive power hidden inside.
When Su Yu heard the tearing sound, she turned her head and immediately took a deep breath.
Yan Yan reached out and touched his own broad chest, showing envy.
The beautiful Son of Buddha lowered his head even more. He looked at his own chest, sighed and put his hands together. "I lost."
Jin Haotian bowed his hands and said, "These muscles, ahem, Brother Xiao, you won."
Xiao Muge: "..."
Su Yu's mouth twitched.
She saw that the moonlight-colored fabric on his body had lost its lustre. It then turned into the original ingredients - light and thin tofu skin, soft and tender yuba, and hard vermicelli.
She subconsciously reached out her hand to pick up the ingredients.
Xiao Muge lowered his head and looked at her slender hand touching his big wide chest.if you are reading this on a site other than puretl(.)com then this chapter has been stolen
His throat tickled and he couldn't help coughing lightly.
"It's a pity to waste it. Do you want to have snacks now?" Su Yu couldn't bear it.
"..."
He put on his black robe back. The moonlight-colored cloth strips on his body have completely lost their brilliance and they were collected by Yu Dong sparingly.
Hang Wan'er rubbed her hands. "Eldest Senior Brother, I hope you have taken a bath?"
The sturdiness of the disciples of Zhiqiong Peak had already spread to others.
The six sticks of incense Xi Quan, who went with the team this time, also nodded. "Cultivators are walking against the sky. We don't care about this."
They turned their heads and looked at Su Yu expectantly. They saw that she took the thin and clear tofu skin and pleated yuba from Yu Dong's hands and put them in a slightly boiling and rippling soup. The tofu and yuba bloomed like chrysanthemums.
Spicy soybean version.
Light tofu skin, yuba and vermicelli, cooked quickly until soft and firm.
Su Yu divided them into each jasper jade bowl, put a spoonful of hot soup, and added a thick layer of thick sesame paste. She poured bright red oil and sprinkled finely minced green onion on it.
Hang Wan'er was skilled in business and taught her eldest senior brother to recite the eulogy.
"Thanks to Second Senior Sister for giving us the magic cloth today. Thank you to Eldest Senior Brother for tailoring the clothes and we got a few pieces of third-grade treasure clothes."
"However, Eldest Senior Brother's chest muscles are too strong and these magic clothes can't bear it."
She looked sad.
Su Yu: "..."
She couldn't help but look deeply at Xiao Muge's clear chest line again.
"Eldest Senior Brother is too powerful. We can only send away his magic clothes and observe it in silence."
Xiao Muge's mouth twitched.
Under Su Yu's generous and direct gaze, his chest was hot, his throat was tight, and he reached out to hold down the cloth belt inside his black robe.
[Master, why is your soul rolling again! I brought some ice soul to calm you! calm down!]
"..."
Hang Wan'er took a deep breath at the end. "Today, let us remember Eldest Senior Brother's greatness and taste the magic clothes he broke together. Remember, as long as you are big enough, no, as long as you are strong enough, even a third-grade magic weapon collapses in an instant! Let's encourage each other to be stronger!"
Xiao Muge's eyebrows and feet twitched.
When he turned around, a small plain white hand, holding a small jasper bowl, was in front of him.
The red oil and sesame sauce, which was thick and hot on the soup, was delivered to him.
