"It's a formation!"
As Elder Zhang spoke, the golden light of the longevity pattern gradually poured into his body.
His robes fluttered, and his face soon showed a hint of intoxication.
However, 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 disintegrated and disappeared.
Elder Zhang sighed, "It turned out to be a vitality formation. I feel that my energy has been filled again."
He opened his eyes and looked at Su Yu with uncontrollable appreciation and gratitude.
"You can still 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 regained 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 light, and she looked at Su Yu in admiration.
She thought that her Second Senior Sister was already very good at concocting alchemy, but in the end, she could also carve talismans into formations?
It is said that the master of the formation has an amazing sea of consciousness and a keen sense of their surroundings.
Second Senior Sister managed to carve formation on a plum fruit!
"It turns out that Second Senior Sister knows the formation method. That day, we had reservations about the third-grade 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: "..."
No matter how thick-skinned Master Su is, she can't bear the surging eyes of her little junior sister.
But when she looked at the carved plum fruit, 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: "..."
'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 can understand her cooking intentions.
But Master Su doesn't feel too bad.
One day they will understand.2
She stuffed the engraved plum into her storage bag and took a lunch break without any psychological burden.
But at the moment, Xiao Muge was stunned.
The small seal of the peak leader sent him a tender yellow plum fruit that blooms like a small flower, with a faint shape of the "longevity" character.
'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 intersect, and each stroke is smooth and round. With this carving, the plum fruit is quite beautiful.
Xiao Muge's eyes overflowed with admiration and surprise.
'Amazing.'
He wondered who did it. Such a leisurely mood is really in line with his state of mind that he seeks the natural way and does not wish to ascend.
He wants to meet this person.
Xiao Muge closed her eyes again.
In order to avoid the thunderstorm, 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 are two halos on top of this round pastry.
"Your peak's snacks are all... elixir, and array?" 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 elixir or elixir soup. This array is only available today. It seems that Second Sister made it especially to entertain you."
Elder Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
He has rarely been out of Wanjian Mountain in the past five hundred years. It seems that he has lived in vain.
If he could choose, he would like to live in Zhiqiong Peak!
He could swap with Elder Mu!
"Elder, Senior Sister said that this is the meat version of the Round Moon Cake 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 is too long and a bit weird.
"There are other versions?"
Hang Wan'er nodded and shook her head. "It should be, but 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 is also appropriate.
The surface of this cake is golden yellow, and only a clear and round red longevity character is written on it, which complements 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, and 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."
But when he stretched out his hand, he quickly took out the carved plum fruit and said with a smile. "One more. This old man still has this 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 will probably increase his lifespan for one day.
The plums are not of good quality, and the effect is small.
But Elder Zhang didn't dare to waste anything.
When the plum fruit was exhausted, he was still not satisfied. He was squinting and taking a round moon cake elixir on the black porcelain plate.
It is slightly hot, but the scent is fragrant. It is not very easy to take when it is placed in the mouth.
He imagined the usual way of taking elixirs and swallowing them whole.
However, this elixir is 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?'1
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 looks big, it doesn't have the thick and dry taste of other elixirs.
It is 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 pills on the stone table.
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 moon cake pill in his left and right hands.
He couldn't stop.
After he removed some dead energy, these pills and formation had become addictive.
He decided to try both at the same time.
Hang Wan'er opened her mouth. "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 moon cake 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 makes the sweet taste clearer.
The sweetness adds depth to the saltiness.
The saltiness makes 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 moon cake he had just half bitten complemented each other. It glows in gold and red.
His vitality is 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 moon cake and the longevity array can complement each other when used together. The effect has been expanded several times!
"Senior, you, your beard... ah, your hair..."
Elder Zhang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly touched his most cherished white beard.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"It's a formation!"
As Elder Zhang spoke, the golden light of the longevity pattern gradually poured into his body.
His robes fluttered, and his face soon showed a hint of intoxication.
However, 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.
