On the twelfth floor of the library, Su Yu leisurely half leaned against the soft couch while drinking tea.
She gently looked at Yu Dong next to her. "Have you understood the first level?"
Most of the other disciples were hurrying to meditate. Only Hang Wan'er, who couldn't help but join in the fun, came over to pour tea in anticipation and pricked up her ears secretly.
Yu Dong blushed. "Well, I have comprehended the first layer of the second page. A total of twelve lines and one hundred and twenty-eight characters. It only took me thirty-nine times of circling spiritual auras, and..."
The teacup in Hang Wan'er's hand fell on the table.
Wei Zhao was recording the latest improvements and cultivation realm of each Zhiqiong Peak's disciples, but at this moment, the jade slip in his hand rolled under his wheelchair.
Yu Dong himself seemed to be unaware of their shock. "I will continue to comprehend later. When I sit three and a half feet in front of the second bookshelf in the southeast on the eleventh floor, my cultivation speed will increase by 30%. In this way, the day when I reach the second level will be earlier..."
Hang Wan'er raised her slender face, and her eyes were already watery as if she was smoked by mosquito-repellent incense.
Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly. "This exercise is really suitable for you. You have mastered a lot."
Algorithms and metaphysics are actually quite similar.
Yu Dong's ears felt hot. "Second Senior Sister, I have calculated it. An abacus is about 100,000 spiritual stones, which is relatively conservative. Because it involves fortune-telling, the compass and Eight Trigrams are worth about 100,000. So the total is two hundred thousand spirit stones."
[T/N: Eight Trigrams or Bagua is this thing which is usually used for Feng Shui. Don't ask me how to use it.'
"Can you make them for me? I'll give it IOU first."
'Good guy.'
Hang Wan'er glared at him. "Brother, you want to take it all?"
Yu Dong smiled bitterly. "I don't dare, but I have... so much greed."
He didn't plan to cultivate well, but she incorporated the principle of "the weak is a fish on a chopping board" into the magic weapon she made.
He couldn't concentrate on meditation and would have a nightmare of his Master's disappearance. As a result, she gave him a comb to help him meditate. She also made him build the foundation twice, which doubled the speed of his cultivation.
When he felt bad that he was behind his junior brothers and sisters, she asked him what development method he wanted to choose, which gave him an idea of the magic weapon of his life.
It was a dilemma, and he wanted it all.
When he had this idea, he saw the words "No Omission" on the book again. So he decided that he wanted both.
He doesn't think it's difficult to do both math and fortune-telling.1
Second Senior Sister gave him the courage to move forward, so he would move forward without hesitation.
Yu Dong looked at Su Yu gratefully.
Su Yu nodded to show her understanding.8
'With an incentive of magic weapons, this salted fish will get up.'
A good cycle is formed when a chef's reward and punishment system is established.
"Fifth Junior Brother built the foundation for the second time. Your heart method ran extremely fast. With the assistance of the second-grade magic comb, learning can get twice the result with half the effort." Wei Zhao also understood.
Hang Wan'er opened her mouth. "It turns out that we can be such geniuses when we have Second Senior Sister."
But she quickly reacted, and her pretty face was tense when she looked at Yu Dong, "But Master said that there could only be one natal magic weapon. Brother, it's not acceptable if you want it all."
A cultivator can have a variety of magic weapons.
However, the natal magic weapon is cultivated by the cultivator with their own soul. In the future, the further their cultivation, the more the natal magic weapon will become stronger. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the weapon can enter their Dantian spontaneously.
There can only be one such instrument.
"A cultivator's soul is limited. It is limited to cultivate one." Wei Zhao also nodded solemnly. "More importantly, when a high-level magic weapon is cultivated, it will have its own characteristics. A king could not see other kings. If you have more than one, it is inevitable that each weapon collides and restrains each other."
"Fifth junior brothers, multiple natal magic weapons are not advisable. Otherwise, your future will be hindered."
Yu Dong sighed.
'This is true.'
But who can refuse more magic weapons?
"I always feel like... everything is right for me." He wanted to try.
'Hey.'
Maybe because his heart is not strong enough, he has greed that shouldn't arise.
Yu Dong looked at Su Yu apologetically. "Then I will choose a specialization. Second Senior Sister, wait for me to think about it."
Su Yu put down the teacup in her hand, "Your way is chosen by yourself. Senior Sister will not interfere in such a major event."
'But...'
"There can only be one natal magic weapon. Multiple weapons will collide with each other?" She asked curiously.
Wei Zhao nodded, "Even if they are made by the same craftsman, magic tools are born with their own spirituality. They will not be harmonious."1
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
'Not harmonious?'
'Never heard about value meal?'
'No.'
'We don't even need to use a value meal.'
In her mind, a must-have for afternoon tea that many western restaurants will have—the three-tiered high-tea rack.
This three-tiered rack is only one item on the menu.
The content, taste, and even the dining etiquette of each three tiers are already set.
Usually, the food from the bottom layer is light snacks of various sandwiches, then the middle layer is classic scones with jam, and finally, the top layer is various small cakes and pastries.
[T/N: She is talking about this thing.]
'So... will it count as three magic weapons or one magic weapon?'
Su Yu's eyes flickered.
If that doesn't work, she also thinks of the Chinese-style Eight Treasure Boxes.
[T/N: A must-have item for Chinese New Year. This snack platter is shaped like an octagon with eight compartments, each filled with food items.]
The Eight Treasure Box is used to hold preserved fruit, nuts and other snacks. Usually, it contains one grid in the middle, and the outer ring is surrounded by eight small grids, which can contain snacks of multiple flavors at the same time.
It will not conflict.
The whole thing is served together to entertain guests.
Who would think it was twenty dishes?
"Fifth Junior Brother," Su Yu couldn't help looking at Yu Dong, "How many magic weapons do you want? Now you are considering two or three, but will you want eight or nine in the future?"
Yu Dong was stunned. "What?"
Wei Zhao was sluggish, and Hang Wan'er was stunned.
Su Yu thought about it and didn't bother them further.
She will directly use the shape of the Eight-Treasure Box. It will be convenient if Yu Dong wants to expand in the future.
Eight is more promising than three.
Su Yu also stood up and looked at the distant sky, "Sister will give it a try."
The three, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er and Wei Zhao, were shocked.
'What?'
"As long as you are willing to learn and become capable, Senior Sister will definitely support you. Not to mention learning one magic technique and a natal magic weapon, even if you want to learn ten magic techniques and ten natal magic weapons, it is not a problem."
"!"
Yu Dong turned his head and saw Hang Wan'er's shocked, envious, greedy expression. Only then did he know that this was not a dream.
He immediately stepped forward, signed the 300,000 yuan IOU without hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Senior Sister, I want to learn! I want to learn more. I want to be stronger, and I want to try everything. Even if it doesn't work, there is no regret!"
Su Yu nodded.
Finally, he has the motivation to work hard.
He has a goal of his own.
"Continue to comprehend." Su Yu took out the double-eared wok from her storage bag. "I have to try the multi-set natal magic weapon that could include an abacus and a compass."
Su Yu would act now.
Since she read the phrases on the cover of that book, she has been interested and has been thinking about it until now.
Master Su has also done a lot of fantasy cooking in the past.
This kind of food is very challenging to make. The color, shape, and fusion of flavors have to be precise. It arouses her competitiveness.
"Fifth Junior Brother, I'll borrow your Qiankun ruler."
Yu Dong: ...
She has made several drafts in her mind about the size of the abacus, etc.
In order to be effective and achieve the best aesthetic.
The upper part should have two beads, one inch each. The bottom part should have five beads.
She is going to make a nine-rod abacus with candied hawthorn.
Not only are they close in shape, but the taste is also unique.
Nine rods, so forty-five beads in total.
However, if the candied hawthorn is sweet from the beginning to the end, then after reaching the second and third rods, the diner will gradually feel sick and think that it is monotonous.
So she's going to make several flavors into one.
All the basic five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, plus derived and common other flavors such as fruity, sweet and sour, numbing, and watercress flavors.
A total of nine rods and nine flavors.
Su Yu lit a spirit fire under the iron wok and quickly absorbed herself in cooking.
An efficient kitchen will never cook only one dish at a time.
Another one is a Feng Shui compass, with one yin and one yang pattern in the middle as the Eight Trigrams map of day and night.
She replaced it with double skin milk and black sesame paste, respectively. She put them in a spoon and created the yin and yang symbol with a wave of her hand.
Two dishes are already in her mind, and she can cook at the same time.
Finally, she made the frame of the Eight Treasure Box and set it with syrup.
Soon, three rays of light fell on the box.
Three more rays of light.
Three more...
But these rays of light magically merged together and became a broad ray of light.
All the disciples woke up.
When they came over, they saw an eight-treasure box in Yu Dong's hand. No, a multi-grid magic weapon.
A yin and yang compass is placed in the middle grid. In the right position lies a nine-color small abacus the size of a child's palm.
The rest of the grids are empty.
Everyone: "!"
'What is this?'
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Yu Dong was also shocked, "This..."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "If you are good enough in the future, you will learn more tricks. There are still seven empty places where you can place more natal magic weapons."
Yu Dong's arms are stiff. This box felt like a thousand pounds!
But his eyes were full of glitter.
His Master picked him up and gave him a second life.
His Eldest Brother taught him to be a man and taught him to read and write.
But Second Senior Sister... Second Senior Sister is making him embark on a... top cultivator path!
Eight, no. There are a total of nine positions for his natal magic weapons!?
He can't buy any more weapons yet, but it's better than nothing!
Yan Yan, the owner of more than 30 swords, couldn't help but put his gaze on the Eight Treasure Box with envy. Then, he quickly looked at his storage bag.
It seems that he has to start choosing which flying swords he will use in the future. Maybe he will be fortunate enough to own this kind of collection box, and all of them will become his own natal magic weapons!
Hang Wan'er also holds her heart.
Hang Wan'er also thought of her destiny magic weapon in the future. She will ask her second senior sister to get her a makeup box. Once she has it, it will be full of gold and silver hairpins.
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was flushed as if they were drunk.
"Try it now, Fifth Senior Brother!" Hang Wan'er was excited, and she immediately jumped for joy.
Yu Dong immediately woke up from the flash of tears. He flicked the second rod of the abacus.
A sweet, slightly fruity fragrance slowly permeates the library.
Hang Wan'er, who is the closest to him, can't help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes are full of smiles.
Yu Dong flicked the third rod this time.
A bitterness, boundless bitterness, slowly enveloped the twelfth floor. Hang Wan'er trembled slightly.
Tears welled in her eyes.
Hang Wan'er: ...
Yu Dong: ...
The five flavors of life are sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.
Yu Dong was about to try something else when a majestic sound resounded over the library.
"The third-rank peaks assessment, the third and fourth challenges begin."
"Location: Small Secret Realm in Canglin Peak."
Su Yu's action of cleaning her wok paused.
She nodded. "You can try again on the road."
"Junior brothers and sisters, the contribution points are here."
Contribution points can be used as spirit stones.
Yu Dong, who has a debt of 300,000 yuan, was shaken.
Su Yu raised her feet and said calmly, "Let's go!"
The crowd raised their chests and followed behind her.
...
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You are bad."
"Sweet and happy~"
"Angry, Sixteenth, you stole my stuff!"
"Help, I'm so embarrassed..."
"Fifth Senior Brother, although your abacus' bead can become big, you can't sit down on this. Our mood becomes very fluctuating."
On the way to the small secret realm of Canglin Peak, Yu Dong found that his nine-flavor abacus could be taken out of the storage box. After enlarging, each bead is big enough for one person to sit.
It has a total of forty-five beads, which can make everyone from their peak sit on it.
Yu Dong just felt a sense of responsibility, so he invited everyone to sit right away.
As soon as they sat, everyone from Zhiqiong Peak couldn't help crying or becoming angry.
Everyone disliked it after only a moment and immediately flew away with their own swords.
Yu Dong sighed but soon became encouraged. "Friends from other peaks that just pass by, don't miss it."
"This friend of Yuanrong Peak, would you like to take a ride on our magic weapon? In this way, your strength will be preserved in the third round. It is not expensive and fast. It only takes 30 spirit stones for a one-way trip or 50 spirit stones for a round trip. I will give you a 20% discount if three people come together. How? "
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
After Yu Dong finished speaking, he entertained the three passing disciples and handed over 80% of his spirit stones income to Su Yu.
"Hahahaha—"
"Help! I want to laugh..."
"Damn, what are you, hahahaha!"
The three Yuanrong Peak disciples sitting in the sweet row expressed their satisfaction. "Brother Yu Dong, when we return later, we want to take a seat again. We have paid the spirit stones in advance. I was nervous earlier, but I was not nervous at all now."
Hang Wan'er: "..."
Su Yu: "..."
Yu Dong held the spiritual stone he earned and smiled. "No omissions. When I count the money and collect it, it seems my mentality also gains a point."
Su Yu's forehead was twitching.
Her kitchen also has some side business.
The Canglin Peak's Trial Ground is close to the entrance of the Canglin Peak, one of the three secret realms owned by the Nanxun faction.
Before entering the secret realm, the disciple must pass the designated tests in the Trial Ground.
"This is equivalent to a miniature secret realm. There are not too many monsters, and they are basically not too dangerous." Hang Wan'er explained to Su Yu.
Soon, their group arrived at the Trial Ground.
Su Yu found that many people had already set their sights on them at the entrance.
"Look! Zhiqiong Peak is here!"
"I heard that they haven't returned to their peak for the past two days. They have been comprehending it in the library, is it true?"
"That must be true. There was two foundation-building aura descended from the sky. Haven't you seen it? With so many auras, two geniuses will take two days to refine them."
"That's great. I guess they will be in the early stage of Foundation Building right now?"
"Hey, did I see it wrong? How come all their core disciples have advanced!"
The cultivation of all the core disciples, including Su Yu, has increased by a big step.
Lu Yizhou, Hang Wan'er, and Yan Yan have all reached the peak of Foundation Building because they built the foundation a second time. They are only one step away from the Golden Core stage.
Yu Dong's expression has changed greatly. His exercises, magic weapons and cultivation have improved a lot.
"The female cultivator in the lead, the temporary peak master, she was still in Qi Refining before entering the library, right? Now she had established the foundation... It's almost at the middle stage of Foundation Building?"
The disciples who came to watch the Great Competition today stared at them in awe.
Hang Wan'er is a little embarrassed.
Yan Yan also turned his head away uncomfortably.
However, Su Yu is calm.
When the kitchen is strong, it is normal for people to pay more and more attention.
'Let the applause be louder.'
"Sister Su, can you sell your comb magic weapon?! I want a second-grade one."
A bold disciple has already shouted.
"And your magic handkerchief, second grade. How many spirit stones?"
Su Yu smiled and nodded to everyone. They were all her diners.
She snapped her fingers and summoned her newly appointed CFO.
Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, then became busy with his nine-rod abacus. He greeted everyone politely with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. "Currently, the stock is limited. Everyone needs to queue up. First come, first served."
"If you want to borrow a first-grade comb, five hundred spirit stones a day. If it is bought, 50,000 spirit stones. A second-grade one is superior, so the price is doubled. A third-grade one, the price is three times."
"You have to pay the spirit stones in full, and it will be delivered immediately. By the way, if you exchange it with our Zhiqiong Peak contribution points, it will be 5% off."2
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
This apprentice has learned all the tricks. It is really promising.
"Five hundred spirit stones a day, it doesn't seem to be expensive! I want it now!"
Yu Dong was extremely gentle, making people feel like they were blown by a spring breeze. "Then this junior brother, you have to hand me a second-grade spirit tool of the same price before you can borrow it. Or pay a ten-day lease fee at one time."
A group of people gathered around on the spot.
Yu Dong immediately began to collect spirit stones.
"Humph, what does this look like? You have no elder and no care. Are you here to do business?"1
Yi Ge, the first-place peak master, scolded them.
Elder Hong, in a red robe, supported his forehead and immediately floated into the air. "Zhiqiong Peak, wait until after the game... to make a deal."
Su Yu turned around and smiled. "Okay, then we will serve the fellow disciples later."
Elder Hong: "..."
Yu Dong soon followed Su Yu to the disciples' waiting position for each twelve of the third-rank peaks and stood in order.
"Hey, it's almost my turn. Why is Linran Peak so arrogant? Their disciples have a good understanding, so others are not allowed to use some magic weapons that increase understanding. He is so nosy!"
"That's right. Everyone is also a third-class peak. But they feel like they are the best in the sky. Why can't everyone gain it together?!"
"I heard that the Linran Peak is going to win a second-class qualification? I think they looked down on us before they became second-class! Even if they are second-rank, are they worth it?"
Yi Ge, the leader of the Linran Peak, cracked the teacup in his hand.
The expressions of each peak master have also become strange.
Elder Hong coughed lightly, "All peaks gather around. This round requires six elite disciples from each peak."
"The third challenge is to pass the Canglin Peak trial ground. You can enter today's fourth challenge after passing through the trial ground. There is a chance in the middle to replace the participating disciples."
"The time is until before sunset."
The red-robed elder waved his sleeves and wrote four different talismans: east, west, north and south. They floated in front of Zhiqiong Peak. "Zhiqiong Peak, you are the first in the previous two rounds. You can choose first."
"Wow, it's the trial ground again! Last year, the east entrance was very difficult."
"In fact, the difficulty is the same, but the focus is different. It will be over if you encounter a route that restrains your peak."
"The third and fourth challenges are linked together this year. The one with the worst draw will definitely be at the bottom."
The disciples of all third-class peaks are all thinking.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
Her younger brothers and sisters behind her all looked at her with admiration and then turned to look at Yu Dong expectantly.
Yu Dong's expression was complicated. He immediately took out the Eight Treasures Box from his spatial storage bag.
Who would have thought that Second Senior Sister's magic weapon would be so timely?
Above the yin and yang trigrams, the golden compass arrow suddenly rotates.
In an instant, it pointed to the west!
Hang Wan'er's silver hairpin flew out and immediately took off in the west direction.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of other peaks.
"Good guy. West is better!"
"Quick, pick west!"
Yu Dong immediately held the compass, smiled and persuaded them, "This senior brother of Yuanrong Peak, do you want me to calculate it for you? Which is better depends on each group. It is so important. How about a thousand spirit stones?"
Su Yu coughed lightly.
The chief of eleven-place peak gritted his teeth. "Okay, let's do it!"
The chiefs of the ninth and twelfth peaks changed their faces when they saw it. "Wait, give it to us too!"
Hang Wan'er was stunned and began to snap her fingers.
Elder Hong was floating in the air, so he could see clearly. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Yu Dong got another 3,000 in his account and smiled happily.1
He immediately handed over 80% to Su Yu.
According to their peak's current negotiation, 80% will be handed over to their Second Senior Sister every time a person earns any spirit stones. After all, they all rely on their second senior sister to be able to do what they are today.
If multiple people cooperate, Second Sister will get 80%, and the rest will be distributed according to their contributions.
"Second Senior Sister, I seem to have found my way. This exercise is very suitable for me. When I collected three thousand spirit stones, my cultivation increased by one hundred and twenty percent. "Yu Dong was startled.
"..."
Su Yu did not expect that she would bring a good salted fish young man to embark on the path of loving spirit stones.
"Six disciples per peak. Take one step forward."
Zhiqiong Peak now has a total of six Foundation Building disciples.
Master Su is also included.
Su Yu put her hands behind her back and sighed, "Senior sister will help you this time. Next time, you have to work hard."
All the brothers and sisters were ashamed.
Alchemy masters generally do not participate in trials. They are the treasures of each peak.
They are incompetent!
They can't let the second senior sister sit leisurely in the position of the peak master. They are really incompetent.
"West entrance, the sixth-place Rongying Peak, the tenth-place Zhiqiong Peak, and the eleventh-place Yuanrong Peak."
The election results were announced quickly.
The three peaks glanced at each other immediately.
Su Yu found that they were very different from the other two peaks.
The disciples of the sixth-place peak were all dressed in tasteful silver-grey robes embroidered with silver cloud patterns on their belts. The six elite disciples participating are three Golden Cores and three Foundation Buildings.
Everyone's sword also has silver tassels, which look uniform and luxurious.
The eleventh-place peak, Yuanrong Peak, is much more simple. They wore the most common white robe in the immortal world, which is inconspicuous, but it is also decorated by a brush of rounded ink pattern on the cuffs.
These six disciples all look rather bookish, and their appearance is also mellow, just like their peak master, Yuan Rong.
Their instruments are similar to their robes, low-key and dim. They look almost as poor as Zhiqiong Peak.
Su Yu looked at the two other peaks and had some thoughts in her heart. Then she frowned when she saw her own team.
The six of them, including her, were all dressed in different styles and colors, like a big mess.
She was negligent.
When they return back this time, she should also make a uniform for everyone.
Su Yu wrote it down in her to-do list silently.1
In less than a moment, the red-robed elder waved his sleeves.
"The third challenge begins!"
He turned around and waved all the disciples of the twelve peaks involved.
The group suddenly fell into a vortex. It was only after four or five breaths that they could stand still.
A damp and cold feeling, accompanied by a stench of wild beasts, shrouded Su Yu head-on.1
In front of her eyes, the pavilions and onlookers have completely disappeared. When Su Yu opened her eyes, she saw a jungle of ancient trees.
The three peaks appear to be transmitted to their gate separately.
There are only Hang Wan'er and the other four around her.
"Senior sister, fortunately, we separated. I just wanted to say be careful of the sixth-place peak." Hang Wan'er practice allowed her to see all kinds of emotions, so her face was tense. "Their practice is vicious. Once they defeat a cultivator, they will absorb the other party's spiritual power to replenish themselves."
They made her feel bad.
Su Yu nodded and looked around.
She closed her eyes, feeling damp and the thick earthy smell in her breath.
"There is a fresh-water river." Su Yu opened her mouth.
Yu Dong was looking down at the compass and was stunned.
'Fresh?'
"Is Second Sister talking about the monster in the river? The direction pointed by the compass is on the west side, which seems to be the source of this dank aura."
Hang Wan'er licked her lower lip. "Don't you want to go?"
The monsters in the river, such as those serrated-jaw shrimps, taste very good.
Su Yu nodded. "Let's go."
Yu Dong and Yan Yan immediately walked in front of her cautiously. Hang Wan'er and Zhao Ran guarded her left and right, and Lu Yizhou was at the end to protect her.
The six of them walked westward, and stepped on the muddy ground, broken branches and rotting leaves.
Yu Dong's complexion gradually became heavy, and the compass in his hand turned violently.
"At least second to third-rank monsters. It may be dangerous."
'Tricky.'
Su Yu's lip line is tight.
This fishy smell is too strong, mixed with river bed silt smells. It will be hard to eat when cooked directly.
Maybe the smell can be covered if she removes the smell with three or four methods and cooks with heavy flavors.
Generally, chefs don't like such ingredients.
She walked among the crowd with her hands behind her back.
They followed Yu Dong's compass all the way to the west. Otherwise, people would easily get lost just by looking at strong pines around them that didn't look any different.
But it was only half a column of incense, and suddenly Zhao Ran, who was beside Su Yu, froze. He strode forward and surpassed Yu Dong, flying with his sword in a flash.
"Little Sixteenth!?"
Hang Wan'er was stunned for a moment and immediately threw out her red silk.
However, Zhao Ran is now in Foundation Building, and his flying sword disappeared in an instant.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and they chased after him.
They were in a cold sweat when they saw Zhao Ran's figure.
They realized he was not conscious and even rushed to a river with no end in sight. He was only one step away from stepping in.
And in front of him was actually a big sabre-toothed grouper with a terrifying open mouth, waiting for him to step in.
"Psychedelic man-eating groupers!"
Hang Wan'er's face paled, and her red silk flew out in an instant, dragging Zhao Ran back.
"Hey, Little Sixteenth!" Hang Wan'er sprayed a ball of water on his face. But not only did he not wake up, but instead, he rose up, stabbed his sword at Hang Wan'er, and rushed to the shore again. He was ready to join the fish's mouth!
"Useless."
In the viewing seat, Yi Ge stroked his beard.
"He is only in the early stage of foundation building, and his mind was easily fascinated. This psychedelic man-eater grouper is high-level second-grade, equivalent to the later stage of Foundation Building. Unless it is killed, it is impossible to wake him up."
The rest of the peak masters also nodded. "Indeed. This test is about the strength of consciousness."
They saw in the projection array that Zhao Ran had already rushed back to the shore, just like what they said.
He was not going to step into a fish's mouth this time, but also forty or fifty psychedelics man-devouring fish emerged from the river. Their fish lips are like hooks, and they open coldly towards the crowd of Zhiqiong Peak.
"Fifth Senior Brother, are you sure you didn't miss anything in your calculation? Can you do it or not!" Hang Wan'er kicked her feet.
She had no choice but to throw her red silk and drag Zhao Ran back.
She was hesitating whether to tie him with the Five Immortal Ropes, and her body was stiff.
Forty or fifty psychedelic groupers opened their fish lips one after another, revealing their sharp sabre teeth.
Hang Wan'er's consciousness was going away, and she was immediately ready for confrontation. But faster than her movement, a comb with a warm, hot, spicy scent was inserted into her bun.
As soon as she took a breath, the comb rubbed her scalp up and down.
'So comfortable...'
Hang Wan'er let out a sigh of relief.
She squints her eyes and kicks the fish in front of her!
Yu Dong nodded to Zhao Ran and Hang Wan'er.
He turned around, then he smiled and bowed toward the forest.
"Disciples watching the battle, have you seen it? If you need any, please book with me at Zhiqiong Peak as soon as possible. The effect is just like what my Seventh Sister and Sixteenth Brother demonstrate. Your consciousness can be restored in an instant. The strength is at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment."
"If you want to rent it, five hundred stones per day. Now, the number is limited—"
Su Yu: "..."
'Very good.'
Her kitchen has a qualified promoter.
Outside the projection array, the disciples rioted instantly.
"I didn't expect it to improve understanding and make people sober? I don't know how many times it can be used. In a secret realm, it can save lives at critical moments."
"Hey, I just took a step slower. Why did I hesitate? If I got it earlier, there wouldn't be as many people robbing me like now!"
"Damn, it's all the fault of that Linran Peak Master. Originally, Brother Yu Dong remembered me as a classmate and a close friend, and he was about to take my spirit stones! He was actually called to stop—ah, who will compensate me!"
Yi Ge's gaze coldly swept over the disciples watching the battle.
Everyone shut up immediately, but the law does not blame the masses.
Someone muttered, "If you have the ability, don't buy anything from Zhiqiong Peak in the future."
Yi Ge: ...
"Brother Yi, don't bother with the juniors." The first-place peak master smiled lightly. He is dressed in a loose green robe embroidered with green bamboo. "You and I know it well. Zhiqiong Peak's honor and disgrace are all tied to this Su Yu. If she is restrained, Zhiqiong Peak will not be able to enter the top three this time."1
He pointed to the projection array.
Yi Ge smiled when he saw it.
He saw the two Golden Core disciples on the sixth-place peak take advantage of the moment when everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was advertising the comb magic weapon. He stepped towards a psychedelic grouper and moved forward in an instant.
When they kicked the fishes, they kicked a second-grade high-level psychedelic grouper toward Su Yu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In the projection array, the nervous figures of Hang Wan'er and Yu Dong rushing to rescue Su Yu flew over in a flash.
Yi Ge raised his lips.
However, his smile froze for a moment.
They saw Su Yu, who had not yet reached the middle stage of the foundation building. She was obviously an alchemist, but she took out a third-grade red copper sword from her spatial storage bag.
Her sword was faster than a human. It spun out with a piercing sound in the air. The blade stabbed the psychedelic grouper's gills fiercely and instantly slapped the fish on the chopping board that who knows when it was taken out!!1
The grouper was smashed on the chopping board and bounced up for half an inch.
Su Yu didn't retreat. She grabbed its struggling fish's tail with her left hand, and a flame of five elements spiritual fire fell on the fish and burned it.
The grouper scales were burnt and rolled up.
Under the severe pain, the grouper struggled violently, opening its mouth and attacking her.
But Su Yu didn't bat an eyelid. The red copper sword in her right hand was pressed against the rolled-up scales and scraped them.
Slices of fish scales fell to the ground.
She turned around, grabbed the fishtail and flipped it to the other side.
In an instant, the flesh of the fish was clean. There was not a single fish scale left.
The grouper vibrated frantically in pain. But when it was about to attack again, its head was stunned by the sword, then its head and tail were cut off!
Then it was thrown into a double-eared wok on the ground and poured with spiritual water.
Then, a fire is lit.
Su Yu turned her delicate and gentle snow-white profile in the projection array and asked her younger brothers and sisters softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to replenish your strength and drink some fish soup?"
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Su Yu raised her eyes, smiled at the perpetrator on the shore, and said softly.
"Catch him for me."
The Golden Core disciple of Rongying Peak: ...1
The inside and outside of the projection array were stunned.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
On the twelfth floor of the library, Su Yu leisurely half leaned against the soft couch while drinking tea.
She gently looked at Yu Dong next to her. "Have you understood the first level?"
Most of the other disciples were hurrying to meditate. Only Hang Wan'er, who couldn't help but join in the fun, came over to pour tea in anticipation and pricked up her ears secretly.
Yu Dong blushed. "Well, I have comprehended the first layer of the second page. A total of twelve lines and one hundred and twenty-eight characters. It only took me thirty-nine times of circling spiritual auras, and..."
The teacup in Hang Wan'er's hand fell on the table.
Wei Zhao was recording the latest improvements and cultivation realm of each Zhiqiong Peak's disciples, but at this moment, the jade slip in his hand rolled under his wheelchair.
Yu Dong himself seemed to be unaware of their shock. "I will continue to comprehend later. When I sit three and a half feet in front of the second bookshelf in the southeast on the eleventh floor, my cultivation speed will increase by 30%. In this way, the day when I reach the second level will be earlier..."
Hang Wan'er raised her slender face, and her eyes were already watery as if she was smoked by mosquito-repellent incense.
Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly. "This exercise is really suitable for you. You have mastered a lot."
Algorithms and metaphysics are actually quite similar.
Yu Dong's ears felt hot. "Second Senior Sister, I have calculated it. An abacus is about 100,000 spiritual stones, which is relatively conservative. Because it involves fortune-telling, the compass and Eight Trigrams are worth about 100,000. So the total is two hundred thousand spirit stones."
[T/N: Eight Trigrams or Bagua is this thing which is usually used for Feng Shui. Don't ask me how to use it.'
"Can you make them for me? I'll give it IOU first."
'Good guy.'
Hang Wan'er glared at him. "Brother, you want to take it all?"
Yu Dong smiled bitterly. "I don't dare, but I have... so much greed."
He didn't plan to cultivate well, but she incorporated the principle of "the weak is a fish on a chopping board" into the magic weapon she made.
He couldn't concentrate on meditation and would have a nightmare of his Master's disappearance. As a result, she gave him a comb to help him meditate. She also made him build the foundation twice, which doubled the speed of his cultivation.
When he felt bad that he was behind his junior brothers and sisters, she asked him what development method he wanted to choose, which gave him an idea of the magic weapon of his life.
It was a dilemma, and he wanted it all.
When he had this idea, he saw the words "No Omission" on the book again. So he decided that he wanted both.
He doesn't think it's difficult to do both math and fortune-telling.1
Second Senior Sister gave him the courage to move forward, so he would move forward without hesitation.
Yu Dong looked at Su Yu gratefully.
Su Yu nodded to show her understanding.8
'With an incentive of magic weapons, this salted fish will get up.'
A good cycle is formed when a chef's reward and punishment system is established.
"Fifth Junior Brother built the foundation for the second time. Your heart method ran extremely fast. With the assistance of the second-grade magic comb, learning can get twice the result with half the effort." Wei Zhao also understood.
Hang Wan'er opened her mouth. "It turns out that we can be such geniuses when we have Second Senior Sister."
But she quickly reacted, and her pretty face was tense when she looked at Yu Dong, "But Master said that there could only be one natal magic weapon. Brother, it's not acceptable if you want it all."
A cultivator can have a variety of magic weapons.
However, the natal magic weapon is cultivated by the cultivator with their own soul. In the future, the further their cultivation, the more the natal magic weapon will become stronger. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the weapon can enter their Dantian spontaneously.
There can only be one such instrument.
"A cultivator's soul is limited. It is limited to cultivate one." Wei Zhao also nodded solemnly. "More importantly, when a high-level magic weapon is cultivated, it will have its own characteristics. A king could not see other kings. If you have more than one, it is inevitable that each weapon collides and restrains each other."
"Fifth junior brothers, multiple natal magic weapons are not advisable. Otherwise, your future will be hindered."
Yu Dong sighed.
'This is true.'
But who can refuse more magic weapons?
"I always feel like... everything is right for me." He wanted to try.
'Hey.'
Maybe because his heart is not strong enough, he has greed that shouldn't arise.
Yu Dong looked at Su Yu apologetically. "Then I will choose a specialization. Second Senior Sister, wait for me to think about it."
Su Yu put down the teacup in her hand, "Your way is chosen by yourself. Senior Sister will not interfere in such a major event."
'But...'
"There can only be one natal magic weapon. Multiple weapons will collide with each other?" She asked curiously.
Wei Zhao nodded, "Even if they are made by the same craftsman, magic tools are born with their own spirituality. They will not be harmonious."1
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
'Not harmonious?'
'Never heard about value meal?'
'No.'
'We don't even need to use a value meal.'
In her mind, a must-have for afternoon tea that many western restaurants will have—the three-tiered high-tea rack.
This three-tiered rack is only one item on the menu.
The content, taste, and even the dining etiquette of each three tiers are already set.
Usually, the food from the bottom layer is light snacks of various sandwiches, then the middle layer is classic scones with jam, and finally, the top layer is various small cakes and pastries.
[T/N: She is talking about this thing.]
'So... will it count as three magic weapons or one magic weapon?'
Su Yu's eyes flickered.
If that doesn't work, she also thinks of the Chinese-style Eight Treasure Boxes.
[T/N: A must-have item for Chinese New Year. This snack platter is shaped like an octagon with eight compartments, each filled with food items.]
The Eight Treasure Box is used to hold preserved fruit, nuts and other snacks. Usually, it contains one grid in the middle, and the outer ring is surrounded by eight small grids, which can contain snacks of multiple flavors at the same time.
It will not conflict.
The whole thing is served together to entertain guests.
Who would think it was twenty dishes?
"Fifth Junior Brother," Su Yu couldn't help looking at Yu Dong, "How many magic weapons do you want? Now you are considering two or three, but will you want eight or nine in the future?"
Yu Dong was stunned. "What?"
Wei Zhao was sluggish, and Hang Wan'er was stunned.
Su Yu thought about it and didn't bother them further.
She will directly use the shape of the Eight-Treasure Box. It will be convenient if Yu Dong wants to expand in the future.
Eight is more promising than three.
Su Yu also stood up and looked at the distant sky, "Sister will give it a try."
The three, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er and Wei Zhao, were shocked.
'What?'
"As long as you are willing to learn and become capable, Senior Sister will definitely support you. Not to mention learning one magic technique and a natal magic weapon, even if you want to learn ten magic techniques and ten natal magic weapons, it is not a problem."
"!"
Yu Dong turned his head and saw Hang Wan'er's shocked, envious, greedy expression. Only then did he know that this was not a dream.
He immediately stepped forward, signed the 300,000 yuan IOU without hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Senior Sister, I want to learn! I want to learn more. I want to be stronger, and I want to try everything. Even if it doesn't work, there is no regret!"
Su Yu nodded.
Finally, he has the motivation to work hard.
He has a goal of his own.
"Continue to comprehend." Su Yu took out the double-eared wok from her storage bag. "I have to try the multi-set natal magic weapon that could include an abacus and a compass."
Su Yu would act now.
Since she read the phrases on the cover of that book, she has been interested and has been thinking about it until now.
Master Su has also done a lot of fantasy cooking in the past.
This kind of food is very challenging to make. The color, shape, and fusion of flavors have to be precise. It arouses her competitiveness.
"Fifth Junior Brother, I'll borrow your Qiankun ruler."
Yu Dong: ...
She has made several drafts in her mind about the size of the abacus, etc.
In order to be effective and achieve the best aesthetic.
The upper part should have two beads, one inch each. The bottom part should have five beads.
She is going to make a nine-rod abacus with candied hawthorn.
Not only are they close in shape, but the taste is also unique.
Nine rods, so forty-five beads in total.
However, if the candied hawthorn is sweet from the beginning to the end, then after reaching the second and third rods, the diner will gradually feel sick and think that it is monotonous.
So she's going to make several flavors into one.
All the basic five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, plus derived and common other flavors such as fruity, sweet and sour, numbing, and watercress flavors.
A total of nine rods and nine flavors.
Su Yu lit a spirit fire under the iron wok and quickly absorbed herself in cooking.
An efficient kitchen will never cook only one dish at a time.
Another one is a Feng Shui compass, with one yin and one yang pattern in the middle as the Eight Trigrams map of day and night.
She replaced it with double skin milk and black sesame paste, respectively. She put them in a spoon and created the yin and yang symbol with a wave of her hand.
Two dishes are already in her mind, and she can cook at the same time.
Finally, she made the frame of the Eight Treasure Box and set it with syrup.
Soon, three rays of light fell on the box.
Three more rays of light.
Three more...
But these rays of light magically merged together and became a broad ray of light.
All the disciples woke up.
When they came over, they saw an eight-treasure box in Yu Dong's hand. No, a multi-grid magic weapon.
A yin and yang compass is placed in the middle grid. In the right position lies a nine-color small abacus the size of a child's palm.
The rest of the grids are empty.
Everyone: "!"
'What is this?'
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Yu Dong was also shocked, "This..."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "If you are good enough in the future, you will learn more tricks. There are still seven empty places where you can place more natal magic weapons."
Yu Dong's arms are stiff. This box felt like a thousand pounds!
But his eyes were full of glitter.
His Master picked him up and gave him a second life.
His Eldest Brother taught him to be a man and taught him to read and write.
But Second Senior Sister... Second Senior Sister is making him embark on a... top cultivator path!
Eight, no. There are a total of nine positions for his natal magic weapons!?
He can't buy any more weapons yet, but it's better than nothing!
Yan Yan, the owner of more than 30 swords, couldn't help but put his gaze on the Eight Treasure Box with envy. Then, he quickly looked at his storage bag.
It seems that he has to start choosing which flying swords he will use in the future. Maybe he will be fortunate enough to own this kind of collection box, and all of them will become his own natal magic weapons!
Hang Wan'er also holds her heart.
Hang Wan'er also thought of her destiny magic weapon in the future. She will ask her second senior sister to get her a makeup box. Once she has it, it will be full of gold and silver hairpins.
Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was flushed as if they were drunk.
"Try it now, Fifth Senior Brother!" Hang Wan'er was excited, and she immediately jumped for joy.
Yu Dong immediately woke up from the flash of tears. He flicked the second rod of the abacus.
A sweet, slightly fruity fragrance slowly permeates the library.
Hang Wan'er, who is the closest to him, can't help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes are full of smiles.
Yu Dong flicked the third rod this time.
A bitterness, boundless bitterness, slowly enveloped the twelfth floor. Hang Wan'er trembled slightly.
Tears welled in her eyes.
Hang Wan'er: ...
Yu Dong: ...
The five flavors of life are sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.
Yu Dong was about to try something else when a majestic sound resounded over the library.
"The third-rank peaks assessment, the third and fourth challenges begin."
"Location: Small Secret Realm in Canglin Peak."
Su Yu's action of cleaning her wok paused.
She nodded. "You can try again on the road."
"Junior brothers and sisters, the contribution points are here."
Contribution points can be used as spirit stones.
Yu Dong, who has a debt of 300,000 yuan, was shaken.
Su Yu raised her feet and said calmly, "Let's go!"
The crowd raised their chests and followed behind her.
...
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You are bad."
"Sweet and happy~"
"Angry, Sixteenth, you stole my stuff!"
"Help, I'm so embarrassed..."
"Fifth Senior Brother, although your abacus' bead can become big, you can't sit down on this. Our mood becomes very fluctuating."
On the way to the small secret realm of Canglin Peak, Yu Dong found that his nine-flavor abacus could be taken out of the storage box. After enlarging, each bead is big enough for one person to sit.
It has a total of forty-five beads, which can make everyone from their peak sit on it.
Yu Dong just felt a sense of responsibility, so he invited everyone to sit right away.
As soon as they sat, everyone from Zhiqiong Peak couldn't help crying or becoming angry.
Everyone disliked it after only a moment and immediately flew away with their own swords.
Yu Dong sighed but soon became encouraged. "Friends from other peaks that just pass by, don't miss it."
"This friend of Yuanrong Peak, would you like to take a ride on our magic weapon? In this way, your strength will be preserved in the third round. It is not expensive and fast. It only takes 30 spirit stones for a one-way trip or 50 spirit stones for a round trip. I will give you a 20% discount if three people come together. How? "
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
After Yu Dong finished speaking, he entertained the three passing disciples and handed over 80% of his spirit stones income to Su Yu.
"Hahahaha—"
"Help! I want to laugh..."
"Damn, what are you, hahahaha!"
The three Yuanrong Peak disciples sitting in the sweet row expressed their satisfaction. "Brother Yu Dong, when we return later, we want to take a seat again. We have paid the spirit stones in advance. I was nervous earlier, but I was not nervous at all now."
Hang Wan'er: "..."
Su Yu: "..."
Yu Dong held the spiritual stone he earned and smiled. "No omissions. When I count the money and collect it, it seems my mentality also gains a point."
Su Yu's forehead was twitching.
Her kitchen also has some side business.
The Canglin Peak's Trial Ground is close to the entrance of the Canglin Peak, one of the three secret realms owned by the Nanxun faction.
Before entering the secret realm, the disciple must pass the designated tests in the Trial Ground.
"This is equivalent to a miniature secret realm. There are not too many monsters, and they are basically not too dangerous." Hang Wan'er explained to Su Yu.
Soon, their group arrived at the Trial Ground.
Su Yu found that many people had already set their sights on them at the entrance.
"Look! Zhiqiong Peak is here!"
"I heard that they haven't returned to their peak for the past two days. They have been comprehending it in the library, is it true?"
"That must be true. There was two foundation-building aura descended from the sky. Haven't you seen it? With so many auras, two geniuses will take two days to refine them."
"That's great. I guess they will be in the early stage of Foundation Building right now?"
"Hey, did I see it wrong? How come all their core disciples have advanced!"
The cultivation of all the core disciples, including Su Yu, has increased by a big step.
Lu Yizhou, Hang Wan'er, and Yan Yan have all reached the peak of Foundation Building because they built the foundation a second time. They are only one step away from the Golden Core stage.
Yu Dong's expression has changed greatly. His exercises, magic weapons and cultivation have improved a lot.
"The female cultivator in the lead, the temporary peak master, she was still in Qi Refining before entering the library, right? Now she had established the foundation... It's almost at the middle stage of Foundation Building?"
The disciples who came to watch the Great Competition today stared at them in awe.
Hang Wan'er is a little embarrassed.
Yan Yan also turned his head away uncomfortably.
However, Su Yu is calm.
When the kitchen is strong, it is normal for people to pay more and more attention.
'Let the applause be louder.'
"Sister Su, can you sell your comb magic weapon?! I want a second-grade one."
A bold disciple has already shouted.
"And your magic handkerchief, second grade. How many spirit stones?"
Su Yu smiled and nodded to everyone. They were all her diners.
She snapped her fingers and summoned her newly appointed CFO.
Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, then became busy with his nine-rod abacus. He greeted everyone politely with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. "Currently, the stock is limited. Everyone needs to queue up. First come, first served."
"If you want to borrow a first-grade comb, five hundred spirit stones a day. If it is bought, 50,000 spirit stones. A second-grade one is superior, so the price is doubled. A third-grade one, the price is three times."
"You have to pay the spirit stones in full, and it will be delivered immediately. By the way, if you exchange it with our Zhiqiong Peak contribution points, it will be 5% off."2
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
This apprentice has learned all the tricks. It is really promising.
"Five hundred spirit stones a day, it doesn't seem to be expensive! I want it now!"
Yu Dong was extremely gentle, making people feel like they were blown by a spring breeze. "Then this junior brother, you have to hand me a second-grade spirit tool of the same price before you can borrow it. Or pay a ten-day lease fee at one time."
A group of people gathered around on the spot.
Yu Dong immediately began to collect spirit stones.
"Humph, what does this look like? You have no elder and no care. Are you here to do business?"1
Yi Ge, the first-place peak master, scolded them.
Elder Hong, in a red robe, supported his forehead and immediately floated into the air. "Zhiqiong Peak, wait until after the game... to make a deal."
Su Yu turned around and smiled. "Okay, then we will serve the fellow disciples later."
Elder Hong: "..."
Yu Dong soon followed Su Yu to the disciples' waiting position for each twelve of the third-rank peaks and stood in order.
"Hey, it's almost my turn. Why is Linran Peak so arrogant? Their disciples have a good understanding, so others are not allowed to use some magic weapons that increase understanding. He is so nosy!"
"That's right. Everyone is also a third-class peak. But they feel like they are the best in the sky. Why can't everyone gain it together?!"
"I heard that the Linran Peak is going to win a second-class qualification? I think they looked down on us before they became second-class! Even if they are second-rank, are they worth it?"
Yi Ge, the leader of the Linran Peak, cracked the teacup in his hand.
The expressions of each peak master have also become strange.
Elder Hong coughed lightly, "All peaks gather around. This round requires six elite disciples from each peak."
"The third challenge is to pass the Canglin Peak trial ground. You can enter today's fourth challenge after passing through the trial ground. There is a chance in the middle to replace the participating disciples."
"The time is until before sunset."
The red-robed elder waved his sleeves and wrote four different talismans: east, west, north and south. They floated in front of Zhiqiong Peak. "Zhiqiong Peak, you are the first in the previous two rounds. You can choose first."
"Wow, it's the trial ground again! Last year, the east entrance was very difficult."
"In fact, the difficulty is the same, but the focus is different. It will be over if you encounter a route that restrains your peak."
"The third and fourth challenges are linked together this year. The one with the worst draw will definitely be at the bottom."
The disciples of all third-class peaks are all thinking.
Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
Her younger brothers and sisters behind her all looked at her with admiration and then turned to look at Yu Dong expectantly.
Yu Dong's expression was complicated. He immediately took out the Eight Treasures Box from his spatial storage bag.
Who would have thought that Second Senior Sister's magic weapon would be so timely?
Above the yin and yang trigrams, the golden compass arrow suddenly rotates.
In an instant, it pointed to the west!
Hang Wan'er's silver hairpin flew out and immediately took off in the west direction.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of other peaks.
"Good guy. West is better!"
"Quick, pick west!"
Yu Dong immediately held the compass, smiled and persuaded them, "This senior brother of Yuanrong Peak, do you want me to calculate it for you? Which is better depends on each group. It is so important. How about a thousand spirit stones?"
Su Yu coughed lightly.
The chief of eleven-place peak gritted his teeth. "Okay, let's do it!"
The chiefs of the ninth and twelfth peaks changed their faces when they saw it. "Wait, give it to us too!"
Hang Wan'er was stunned and began to snap her fingers.
Elder Hong was floating in the air, so he could see clearly. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Yu Dong got another 3,000 in his account and smiled happily.1
He immediately handed over 80% to Su Yu.
According to their peak's current negotiation, 80% will be handed over to their Second Senior Sister every time a person earns any spirit stones. After all, they all rely on their second senior sister to be able to do what they are today.
If multiple people cooperate, Second Sister will get 80%, and the rest will be distributed according to their contributions.
"Second Senior Sister, I seem to have found my way. This exercise is very suitable for me. When I collected three thousand spirit stones, my cultivation increased by one hundred and twenty percent. "Yu Dong was startled.
"..."
Su Yu did not expect that she would bring a good salted fish young man to embark on the path of loving spirit stones.
"Six disciples per peak. Take one step forward."
Zhiqiong Peak now has a total of six Foundation Building disciples.
Master Su is also included.
Su Yu put her hands behind her back and sighed, "Senior sister will help you this time. Next time, you have to work hard."
All the brothers and sisters were ashamed.
Alchemy masters generally do not participate in trials. They are the treasures of each peak.
They are incompetent!
They can't let the second senior sister sit leisurely in the position of the peak master. They are really incompetent.
"West entrance, the sixth-place Rongying Peak, the tenth-place Zhiqiong Peak, and the eleventh-place Yuanrong Peak."
The election results were announced quickly.
The three peaks glanced at each other immediately.
Su Yu found that they were very different from the other two peaks.
The disciples of the sixth-place peak were all dressed in tasteful silver-grey robes embroidered with silver cloud patterns on their belts. The six elite disciples participating are three Golden Cores and three Foundation Buildings.
Everyone's sword also has silver tassels, which look uniform and luxurious.
The eleventh-place peak, Yuanrong Peak, is much more simple. They wore the most common white robe in the immortal world, which is inconspicuous, but it is also decorated by a brush of rounded ink pattern on the cuffs.
These six disciples all look rather bookish, and their appearance is also mellow, just like their peak master, Yuan Rong.
Their instruments are similar to their robes, low-key and dim. They look almost as poor as Zhiqiong Peak.
Su Yu looked at the two other peaks and had some thoughts in her heart. Then she frowned when she saw her own team.
The six of them, including her, were all dressed in different styles and colors, like a big mess.
She was negligent.
When they return back this time, she should also make a uniform for everyone.
Su Yu wrote it down in her to-do list silently.1
In less than a moment, the red-robed elder waved his sleeves.
"The third challenge begins!"
He turned around and waved all the disciples of the twelve peaks involved.
The group suddenly fell into a vortex. It was only after four or five breaths that they could stand still.
A damp and cold feeling, accompanied by a stench of wild beasts, shrouded Su Yu head-on.1
In front of her eyes, the pavilions and onlookers have completely disappeared. When Su Yu opened her eyes, she saw a jungle of ancient trees.
The three peaks appear to be transmitted to their gate separately.
There are only Hang Wan'er and the other four around her.
"Senior sister, fortunately, we separated. I just wanted to say be careful of the sixth-place peak." Hang Wan'er practice allowed her to see all kinds of emotions, so her face was tense. "Their practice is vicious. Once they defeat a cultivator, they will absorb the other party's spiritual power to replenish themselves."
They made her feel bad.
Su Yu nodded and looked around.
She closed her eyes, feeling damp and the thick earthy smell in her breath.
"There is a fresh-water river." Su Yu opened her mouth.
Yu Dong was looking down at the compass and was stunned.
'Fresh?'
"Is Second Sister talking about the monster in the river? The direction pointed by the compass is on the west side, which seems to be the source of this dank aura."
Hang Wan'er licked her lower lip. "Don't you want to go?"
The monsters in the river, such as those serrated-jaw shrimps, taste very good.
Su Yu nodded. "Let's go."
Yu Dong and Yan Yan immediately walked in front of her cautiously. Hang Wan'er and Zhao Ran guarded her left and right, and Lu Yizhou was at the end to protect her.
The six of them walked westward, and stepped on the muddy ground, broken branches and rotting leaves.
Yu Dong's complexion gradually became heavy, and the compass in his hand turned violently.
"At least second to third-rank monsters. It may be dangerous."
'Tricky.'
Su Yu's lip line is tight.
This fishy smell is too strong, mixed with river bed silt smells. It will be hard to eat when cooked directly.
Maybe the smell can be covered if she removes the smell with three or four methods and cooks with heavy flavors.
Generally, chefs don't like such ingredients.
She walked among the crowd with her hands behind her back.
They followed Yu Dong's compass all the way to the west. Otherwise, people would easily get lost just by looking at strong pines around them that didn't look any different.
But it was only half a column of incense, and suddenly Zhao Ran, who was beside Su Yu, froze. He strode forward and surpassed Yu Dong, flying with his sword in a flash.
"Little Sixteenth!?"
Hang Wan'er was stunned for a moment and immediately threw out her red silk.
However, Zhao Ran is now in Foundation Building, and his flying sword disappeared in an instant.
Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and they chased after him.
They were in a cold sweat when they saw Zhao Ran's figure.
They realized he was not conscious and even rushed to a river with no end in sight. He was only one step away from stepping in.
And in front of him was actually a big sabre-toothed grouper with a terrifying open mouth, waiting for him to step in.
"Psychedelic man-eating groupers!"
Hang Wan'er's face paled, and her red silk flew out in an instant, dragging Zhao Ran back.
"Hey, Little Sixteenth!" Hang Wan'er sprayed a ball of water on his face. But not only did he not wake up, but instead, he rose up, stabbed his sword at Hang Wan'er, and rushed to the shore again. He was ready to join the fish's mouth!
"Useless."
In the viewing seat, Yi Ge stroked his beard.
"He is only in the early stage of foundation building, and his mind was easily fascinated. This psychedelic man-eater grouper is high-level second-grade, equivalent to the later stage of Foundation Building. Unless it is killed, it is impossible to wake him up."
The rest of the peak masters also nodded. "Indeed. This test is about the strength of consciousness."
They saw in the projection array that Zhao Ran had already rushed back to the shore, just like what they said.
He was not going to step into a fish's mouth this time, but also forty or fifty psychedelics man-devouring fish emerged from the river. Their fish lips are like hooks, and they open coldly towards the crowd of Zhiqiong Peak.
"Fifth Senior Brother, are you sure you didn't miss anything in your calculation? Can you do it or not!" Hang Wan'er kicked her feet.
She had no choice but to throw her red silk and drag Zhao Ran back.
She was hesitating whether to tie him with the Five Immortal Ropes, and her body was stiff.
Forty or fifty psychedelic groupers opened their fish lips one after another, revealing their sharp sabre teeth.
Hang Wan'er's consciousness was going away, and she was immediately ready for confrontation. But faster than her movement, a comb with a warm, hot, spicy scent was inserted into her bun.
As soon as she took a breath, the comb rubbed her scalp up and down.
'So comfortable...'
Hang Wan'er let out a sigh of relief.
She squints her eyes and kicks the fish in front of her!
Yu Dong nodded to Zhao Ran and Hang Wan'er.
He turned around, then he smiled and bowed toward the forest.
"Disciples watching the battle, have you seen it? If you need any, please book with me at Zhiqiong Peak as soon as possible. The effect is just like what my Seventh Sister and Sixteenth Brother demonstrate. Your consciousness can be restored in an instant. The strength is at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment."
"If you want to rent it, five hundred stones per day. Now, the number is limited—"
Su Yu: "..."
'Very good.'
Her kitchen has a qualified promoter.
Outside the projection array, the disciples rioted instantly.
"I didn't expect it to improve understanding and make people sober? I don't know how many times it can be used. In a secret realm, it can save lives at critical moments."
"Hey, I just took a step slower. Why did I hesitate? If I got it earlier, there wouldn't be as many people robbing me like now!"
"Damn, it's all the fault of that Linran Peak Master. Originally, Brother Yu Dong remembered me as a classmate and a close friend, and he was about to take my spirit stones! He was actually called to stop—ah, who will compensate me!"
Yi Ge's gaze coldly swept over the disciples watching the battle.
Everyone shut up immediately, but the law does not blame the masses.
Someone muttered, "If you have the ability, don't buy anything from Zhiqiong Peak in the future."
Yi Ge: ...
"Brother Yi, don't bother with the juniors." The first-place peak master smiled lightly. He is dressed in a loose green robe embroidered with green bamboo. "You and I know it well. Zhiqiong Peak's honor and disgrace are all tied to this Su Yu. If she is restrained, Zhiqiong Peak will not be able to enter the top three this time."1
He pointed to the projection array.
Yi Ge smiled when he saw it.
He saw the two Golden Core disciples on the sixth-place peak take advantage of the moment when everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was advertising the comb magic weapon. He stepped towards a psychedelic grouper and moved forward in an instant.
When they kicked the fishes, they kicked a second-grade high-level psychedelic grouper toward Su Yu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In the projection array, the nervous figures of Hang Wan'er and Yu Dong rushing to rescue Su Yu flew over in a flash.
Yi Ge raised his lips.
However, his smile froze for a moment.
They saw Su Yu, who had not yet reached the middle stage of the foundation building. She was obviously an alchemist, but she took out a third-grade red copper sword from her spatial storage bag.
Her sword was faster than a human. It spun out with a piercing sound in the air. The blade stabbed the psychedelic grouper's gills fiercely and instantly slapped the fish on the chopping board that who knows when it was taken out!!1
The grouper was smashed on the chopping board and bounced up for half an inch.
Su Yu didn't retreat. She grabbed its struggling fish's tail with her left hand, and a flame of five elements spiritual fire fell on the fish and burned it.
The grouper scales were burnt and rolled up.
Under the severe pain, the grouper struggled violently, opening its mouth and attacking her.
But Su Yu didn't bat an eyelid. The red copper sword in her right hand was pressed against the rolled-up scales and scraped them.
Slices of fish scales fell to the ground.
She turned around, grabbed the fishtail and flipped it to the other side.
In an instant, the flesh of the fish was clean. There was not a single fish scale left.
The grouper vibrated frantically in pain. But when it was about to attack again, its head was stunned by the sword, then its head and tail were cut off!
Then it was thrown into a double-eared wok on the ground and poured with spiritual water.
Then, a fire is lit.
Su Yu turned her delicate and gentle snow-white profile in the projection array and asked her younger brothers and sisters softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to replenish your strength and drink some fish soup?"
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Su Yu raised her eyes, smiled at the perpetrator on the shore, and said softly.
"Catch him for me."
The Golden Core disciple of Rongying Peak: ...1
The inside and outside of the projection array were stunned.
On the twelfth floor of the library, Su Yu leisurely half leaned against the soft couch while drinking tea.She gently looked at Yu Dong next to her. "Have you understood the first level?"Most of the other disciples were hurrying to meditate. Only Hang Wan'er, who couldn't help but join in the fun, came over to pour tea in anticipation and pricked up her ears secretly.Yu Dong blushed. "Well, I have comprehended the first layer of the second page. A total of twelve lines and one hundred and twenty-eight characters. It only took me thirty-nine times of circling spiritual auras, and..."The teacup in Hang Wan'er's hand fell on the table.Wei Zhao was recording the latest improvements and cultivation realm of each Zhiqiong Peak's disciples, but at this moment, the jade slip in his hand rolled under his wheelchair.Yu Dong himself seemed to be unaware of their shock. "I will continue to comprehend later. When I sit three and a half feet in front of the second bookshelf in the southeast on the eleventh floor, my cultivation speed will increase by 30%. In this way, the day when I reach the second level will be earlier..."Hang Wan'er raised her slender face, and her eyes were already watery as if she was smoked by mosquito-repellent incense.Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly. "This exercise is really suitable for you. You have mastered a lot."Algorithms and metaphysics are actually quite similar.Yu Dong's ears felt hot. "Second Senior Sister, I have calculated it. An abacus is about 100,000 spiritual stones, which is relatively conservative. Because it involves fortune-telling, the compass and Eight Trigrams are worth about 100,000. So the total is two hundred thousand spirit stones."T/N: Eight Trigrams or Bagua is this thing which is usually used for Feng Shui. Don't ask me how to use it.'"Can you make them for me? I'll give it IOU first."'Good guy.'Hang Wan'er glared at him. "Brother, you want to take it all?"Yu Dong smiled bitterly. "I don't dare, but I have... so much greed."He didn't plan to cultivate well, but she incorporated the principle of "the weak is a fish on a chopping board" into the magic weapon she made.He couldn't concentrate on meditation and would have a nightmare of his Master's disappearance. As a result, she gave him a comb to help him meditate. She also made him build the foundation twice, which doubled the speed of his cultivation.When he felt bad that he was behind his junior brothers and sisters, she asked him what development method he wanted to choose, which gave him an idea of the magic weapon of his life.It was a dilemma, and he wanted it all.When he had this idea, he saw the words "No Omission" on the book again. So he decided that he wanted both.He doesn't think it's difficult to do both math and fortune-telling.1Second Senior Sister gave him the courage to move forward, so he would move forward without hesitation.Yu Dong looked at Su Yu gratefully.Su Yu nodded to show her understanding.8'With an incentive of magic weapons, this salted fish will get up.'A good cycle is formed when a chef's reward and punishment system is established."Fifth Junior Brother built the foundation for the second time. Your heart method ran extremely fast. With the assistance of the second-grade magic comb, learning can get twice the result with half the effort." Wei Zhao also understood.Hang Wan'er opened her mouth. "It turns out that we can be such geniuses when we have Second Senior Sister."But she quickly reacted, and her pretty face was tense when she looked at Yu Dong, "But Master said that there could only be one natal magic weapon. Brother, it's not acceptable if you want it all."A cultivator can have a variety of magic weapons.However, the natal magic weapon is cultivated by the cultivator with their own soul. In the future, the further their cultivation, the more the natal magic weapon will become stronger. When they reach the Nascent Soul stage, the weapon can enter their Dantian spontaneously.There can only be one such instrument."A cultivator's soul is limited. It is limited to cultivate one." Wei Zhao also nodded solemnly. "More importantly, when a high-level magic weapon is cultivated, it will have its own characteristics. A king could not see other kings. If you have more than one, it is inevitable that each weapon collides and restrains each other.""Fifth junior brothers, multiple natal magic weapons are not advisable. Otherwise, your future will be hindered."Yu Dong sighed.'This is true.'But who can refuse more magic weapons?"I always feel like... everything is right for me." He wanted to try.'Hey.'Maybe because his heart is not strong enough, he has greed that shouldn't arise.Yu Dong looked at Su Yu apologetically. "Then I will choose a specialization. Second Senior Sister, wait for me to think about it."Su Yu put down the teacup in her hand, "Your way is chosen by yourself. Senior Sister will not interfere in such a major event."'But...'"There can only be one natal magic weapon. Multiple weapons will collide with each other?" She asked curiously.Wei Zhao nodded, "Even if they are made by the same craftsman, magic tools are born with their own spirituality. They will not be harmonious."1Su Yu raised her eyebrows.'Not harmonious?''Never heard about value meal?''No.''We don't even need to use a value meal.'In her mind, a must-have for afternoon tea that many western restaurants will havethe three-tiered high-tea rack.This three-tiered rack is onlyone item on the menu.The content, taste, and even the dining etiquette of each three tiers are already set.Usually, the food from the bottom layer is light snacks of various sandwiches, then the middle layer is classic scones with jam, and finally, the top layer is various small cakes and pastries.T/N: She is talking about this thing.'So... will it count as three magic weapons or one magic weapon?'Su Yu's eyes flickered.If that doesn't work, she also thinks of the Chinese-style Eight Treasure Boxes.T/N: A must-have item for Chinese New Year. This snack platter is shaped like an octagon with eight compartments, each filled with food items.The Eight Treasure Box is used to hold preserved fruit, nuts and other snacks. Usually, it contains one grid in the middle, and the outer ring is surrounded by eight small grids, which can contain snacks of multiple flavors at the same time.It will not conflict.The whole thing is served together to entertain guests.Who would think it was twenty dishes?"Fifth Junior Brother," Su Yu couldn't help looking at Yu Dong, "How many magic weapons do you want? Now you are considering two or three, but will you want eight or nine in the future?"Yu Dong was stunned. "What?"Wei Zhao was sluggish, and Hang Wan'er was stunned.Su Yu thought about it and didn't bother them further.She will directly use the shape of the Eight-Treasure Box. It will be convenient if Yu Dong wants to expand in the future.Eight is more promising than three.Su Yu also stood up and looked at the distant sky, "Sister will give it a try."The three, Yu Dong, Hang Wan'er and Wei Zhao, were shocked.'What?'"As long as you are willing to learn and become capable, Senior Sister will definitely support you. Not to mention learning one magic technique and a natal magic weapon, even if you want to learn ten magic techniques and ten natal magic weapons, it is not a problem.""!"Yu Dong turned his head and saw Hang Wan'er's shocked, envious, greedy expression. Only then did he know that this was not a dream.He immediately stepped forward, signed the 300,000 yuan IOU without hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "Second Senior Sister, I want to learn! I want to learn more. I want to be stronger, and I want to try everything. Even if it doesn't work, there is no regret!"Su Yu nodded.Finally, he has the motivation to work hard.He has a goal of his own."Continue to comprehend." Su Yu took out the double-eared wok from her storage bag. "I have to try the multi-set natal magic weapon that could include an abacus and a compass."Su Yu would act now.Since she read the phrases on the cover of that book, she has been interested and has been thinking about it until now.Master Su has also done a lot of fantasy cooking in the past.This kind of food is very challenging to make. The color, shape, and fusion of flavors have to be precise. It arouses her competitiveness."Fifth Junior Brother, I'll borrow your Qiankun ruler."Yu Dong: ...She has made several drafts in her mind about the size of the abacus, etc.In order to be effective and achieve the best aesthetic.The upper part should have two beads, one inch each. The bottom part should have five beads.She is going to make a nine-rod abacus with candied hawthorn.Not only are they close in shape, but the taste is also unique.Nine rods, so forty-five beads in total.However, if the candied hawthorn is sweet from the beginning to the end, then after reaching the second and third rods, the diner will gradually feel sick and think that it is monotonous.So she's going to make several flavors into one.All the basic five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, plus derived and common other flavors such as fruity, sweet and sour, numbing, and watercress flavors.A total of nine rods and nine flavors.Su Yu lit a spirit fire under the iron wok and quickly absorbed herself in cooking.An efficient kitchen will never cook only one dish at a time.Another one is a Feng Shui compass, with one yin and one yang pattern in the middle as the Eight Trigrams map of day and night.She replaced it with double skin milk and black sesame paste, respectively. She put them in a spoon and created the yin and yang symbol with a wave of her hand.Two dishes are already in her mind, and she can cook at the same time.Finally, she made the frame of the Eight Treasure Box and set it with syrup.Soon, three rays of light fell on the box.Three more rays of light.Three more...But these rays of light magically merged together and became a broad ray of light.All the disciples woke up.When they came over, they saw an eight-treasure box in Yu Dong's hand. No, a multi-grid magic weapon.A yin and yang compass is placed in the middle grid. In the right position lies a nine-color small abacus the size of a child's palm.The rest of the grids are empty.Everyone: "!"'What is this?'Everyone at the scene was shocked.Yu Dong was also shocked, "This..."Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "If you are good enough in the future, you will learn more tricks. There are still seven empty places where you can place more natal magic weapons."Yu Dong's arms are stiff. This box felt like a thousand pounds!But his eyes were full of glitter.His Master picked him up and gave him a second life.His Eldest Brother taught him to be a man and taught him to read and write.But Second Senior Sister... Second Senior Sister is making him embark on a... top cultivator path!Eight, no. There are a total of nine positions for his natal magic weapons!?He can't buy any more weapons yet, but it's better than nothing!Yan Yan, the owner of more than 30 swords, couldn't help but put his gaze on the Eight Treasure Box with envy. Then, he quickly looked at his storage bag.It seems that he has to start choosing which flying swords he will use in the future. Maybe he will be fortunate enough to own this kind of collection box, and all of them will become his own natal magic weapons!Hang Wan'er also holds her heart.Hang Wan'er also thought of her destiny magic weapon in the future. She will ask her second senior sister to get her a makeup box. Once she has it, it will be full of gold and silver hairpins.Everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was flushed as if they were drunk."Try it now, Fifth Senior Brother!" Hang Wan'er was excited, and she immediately jumped for joy.Yu Dong immediately woke up from the flash of tears. He flicked the second rod of the abacus.A sweet, slightly fruity fragrance slowly permeates the library.Hang Wan'er, who is the closest to him, can't help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth. Her beautiful eyes are full of smiles.Yu Dong flicked the third rod this time.A bitterness, boundless bitterness, slowly enveloped the twelfth floor. Hang Wan'er trembled slightly.Tears welled in her eyes.Hang Wan'er: ...Yu Dong: ...The five flavors of life are sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.Yu Dong was about to try something else when a majestic sound resounded over the library."The third-rank peaks assessment, the third and fourth challenges begin.""Location: Small Secret Realm in Canglin Peak."Su Yu's action of cleaning her wok paused.She nodded. "You can try again on the road.""Junior brothers and sisters, the contribution points are here."Contribution points can be used as spirit stones.Yu Dong, who has a debt of 300,000 yuan, was shaken.Su Yu raised her feet and said calmly, "Let's go!"The crowd raised their chests and followed behind her...."Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You are bad.""Sweet and happy~""Angry, Sixteenth, you stole my stuff!""Help, I'm so embarrassed...""Fifth Senior Brother, although your abacus' bead can become big, you can't sit down on this. Our mood becomes very fluctuating."On the way to the small secret realm of Canglin Peak, Yu Dong found that his nine-flavor abacus could be taken out of the storage box. After enlarging, each bead is big enough for one person to sit.It has a total of forty-five beads, which can make everyone from their peak sit on it.Yu Dong just felt a sense of responsibility, so he invited everyone to sit right away.As soon as they sat, everyone from Zhiqiong Peak couldn't help crying or becoming angry.Everyone disliked it after only a moment and immediately flew away with their own swords.Yu Dong sighed but soon became encouraged. "Friends from other peaks that just pass by, don't miss it.""This friend of Yuanrong Peak, would you like to take a ride on our magic weapon? In this way, your strength will be preserved in the third round. It is not expensive and fast. It only takes 30 spirit stones for a one-way trip or 50 spirit stones for a round trip. I will give you a 20% discount if three people come together. How? "Su Yu raised her eyebrows.After Yu Dong finished speaking, he entertained the three passing disciples and handed over 80% of his spirit stones income to Su Yu."Hahahaha""Help! I want to laugh...""Damn, what are you, hahahaha!"The three Yuanrong Peak disciples sitting in the sweet row expressed their satisfaction. "Brother Yu Dong, when we return later, we want to take a seat again. We have paid the spirit stones in advance. I was nervous earlier, but I was not nervous at all now."Hang Wan'er: "..."Su Yu: "..."Yu Dong held the spiritual stone he earned and smiled. "No omissions. When I count the money and collect it, it seems my mentality also gains a point."Su Yu's forehead was twitching.Her kitchen also has some side business.The Canglin Peak's Trial Ground is close to the entrance of the Canglin Peak, one of the three secret realms owned by the Nanxun faction.Before entering the secret realm, the disciple must pass the designated tests in the Trial Ground."This is equivalent to a miniature secret realm. There are not too many monsters, and they are basically not too dangerous." Hang Wan'er explained to Su Yu.Soon, their group arrived at the Trial Ground.Su Yu found that many people had already set their sights on them at the entrance."Look! Zhiqiong Peak is here!""I heard that they haven't returned to their peak for the past two days. They have been comprehending it in the library, is it true?""That must be true. There was two foundation-building aura descended from the sky. Haven't you seen it? With so many auras, two geniuses will take two days to refine them.""That's great. I guess they will be in the early stage of Foundation Building right now?""Hey, did I see it wrong? How come all their core disciples have advanced!"The cultivation of all the core disciples, including Su Yu, has increased by a big step.Lu Yizhou, Hang Wan'er, and Yan Yan have all reached the peak of Foundation Building because they built the foundation a second time. They are only one step away from the Golden Core stage.Yu Dong's expression has changed greatly. His exercises, magic weapons and cultivation have improved a lot."The female cultivator in the lead, the temporary peak master, she was still in Qi Refining before entering the library, right? Now she had established the foundation... It's almost at the middle stage of Foundation Building?"The disciples who came to watch the Great Competition today stared at them in awe.Hang Wan'er is a little embarrassed.Yan Yan also turned his head away uncomfortably.However, Su Yu is calm.When the kitchen is strong, it is normal for people to pay more and more attention.'Let the applause be louder.'"Sister Su, can you sell your comb magic weapon?! I want a second-grade one."A bold disciple has already shouted."And your magic handkerchief, second grade. How many spirit stones?"Su Yu smiled and nodded to everyone. They were all her diners.She snapped her fingers and summoned her newly appointed CFO.Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, then became busy with his nine-rod abacus. He greeted everyone politely with a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. "Currently, the stock is limited. Everyone needs to queue up. First come, first served.""If you want to borrow a first-grade comb, five hundred spirit stones a day. If it is bought, 50,000 spirit stones. A second-grade one is superior, so the price is doubled. A third-grade one, the price is three times.""You have to pay the spirit stones in full, and it will be delivered immediately. By the way, if you exchange it with our Zhiqiong Peak contribution points, it will be 5% off."2Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.This apprentice has learned all the tricks. It is really promising."Five hundred spirit stones a day, it doesn't seem to be expensive! I want it now!"Yu Dong was extremely gentle, making people feel like they were blown by a spring breeze. "Then this junior brother, you have to hand me a second-grade spirit tool of the same price before you can borrow it. Or pay a ten-day lease fee at one time."A group of people gathered around on the spot.Yu Dong immediately began to collect spirit stones."Humph, what does this look like? You have no elder and no care. Are you here to do business?"1Yi Ge, the first-place peak master, scolded them.Elder Hong, in a red robe, supported his forehead and immediately floated into the air. "Zhiqiong Peak, wait until after the game... to make a deal."Su Yu turned around and smiled. "Okay, then we will serve the fellow disciples later."Elder Hong: "..."Yu Dong soon followed Su Yu to the disciples' waiting position for each twelve of the third-rank peaks and stood in order."Hey, it's almost my turn. Why is Linran Peak so arrogant? Their disciples have a good understanding, so others are not allowed to use some magic weapons that increase understanding. He is so nosy!""That's right. Everyone is also a third-class peak. But they feel like they are the best in the sky. Why can't everyone gain it together?!""I heard that the Linran Peak is going to win a second-class qualification? I think they looked down on us before they became second-class! Even if they are second-rank, are they worth it?"Yi Ge, the leader of the Linran Peak, cracked the teacup in his hand.The expressions of each peak master have also become strange.Elder Hong coughed lightly, "All peaks gather around. This round requires six elite disciples from each peak.""The third challenge is to pass the Canglin Peak trial ground. You can enter today's fourth challenge after passing through the trial ground. There is a chance in the middle to replace the participating disciples.""The time is until before sunset."The red-robed elder waved his sleeves and wrote four different talismans: east, west, north and south. They floated in front of Zhiqiong Peak. "Zhiqiong Peak, you are the first in the previous two rounds. You can choose first.""Wow, it's the trial ground again! Last year, the east entrance was very difficult.""In fact, the difficulty is the same, but the focus is different. It will be over if you encounter a route that restrains your peak.""The third and fourth challenges are linked together this year. The one with the worst draw will definitely be at the bottom."The disciples of all third-class peaks are all thinking.Su Yu raised her eyebrows.Her younger brothers and sisters behind her all looked at her with admiration and then turned to look at Yu Dong expectantly.Yu Dong's expression was complicated. He immediately took out the Eight Treasures Box from his spatial storage bag.Who would have thought that Second Senior Sister's magic weapon would be so timely?Above the yin and yang trigrams, the golden compass arrow suddenly rotates.In an instant, it pointed to the west!Hang Wan'er's silver hairpin flew out and immediately took off in the west direction.Their actions immediately attracted the attention of other peaks."Good guy. West is better!""Quick, pick west!"Yu Dong immediately held the compass, smiled and persuaded them, "This senior brother of Yuanrong Peak, do you want me to calculate it for you? Which is better depends on each group. It is so important. How about a thousand spirit stones?"Su Yu coughed lightly.The chief of eleven-place peak gritted his teeth. "Okay, let's do it!"The chiefs of the ninth and twelfth peaks changed their faces when they saw it. "Wait, give it to us too!"Hang Wan'er was stunned and began to snap her fingers.Elder Hong was floating in the air, so he could see clearly. The corners of his mouth twitched.Yu Dong got another 3,000 in his account and smiled happily.1He immediately handed over 80% to Su Yu.According to their peak's current negotiation, 80% will be handed over to their Second Senior Sister every time a person earns any spirit stones. After all, they all rely on their second senior sister to be able to do what they are today.If multiple people cooperate, Second Sister will get 80%, and the rest will be distributed according to their contributions."Second Senior Sister, I seem to have found my way. This exercise is very suitable for me. When I collected three thousand spirit stones, my cultivation increased by one hundred and twenty percent. "Yu Dong was startled."..."Su Yu did not expect that she would bring a good salted fish young man to embark on the path of loving spirit stones."Six disciples per peak. Take one step forward."Zhiqiong Peak now has a total of six Foundation Building disciples.Master Su is also included.Su Yu put her hands behind her back and sighed, "Senior sister will help you this time. Next time, you have to work hard."All the brothers and sisters were ashamed.Alchemy masters generally do not participate in trials. They are the treasures of each peak.They are incompetent!They can't let the second senior sister sit leisurely in the position of the peak master. They are really incompetent."West entrance, the sixth-place Rongying Peak, the tenth-place Zhiqiong Peak, and the eleventh-place Yuanrong Peak."The election results were announced quickly.The three peaks glanced at each other immediately.Su Yu found that they were very different from the other two peaks.The disciples of the sixth-place peak were all dressed in tasteful silver-grey robes embroidered with silver cloud patterns on their belts. The six elite disciples participating are three Golden Cores and three Foundation Buildings.Everyone's sword also has silver tassels, which look uniform and luxurious.The eleventh-place peak, Yuanrong Peak, is much more simple. They wore the most common white robe in the immortal world, which is inconspicuous, but it is also decorated by a brush of rounded ink pattern on the cuffs.These six disciples all look rather bookish, and their appearance is also mellow, just like their peak master, Yuan Rong.Their instruments are similar to their robes, low-key and dim. They look almost as poor as Zhiqiong Peak.Su Yu looked at the two other peaks and had some thoughts in her heart. Then she frowned when she saw her own team.The six of them, including her, were all dressed in different styles and colors, like a big mess.She was negligent.When they return back this time, she should also make a uniform for everyone.Su Yu wrote it down in her to-do list silently.1In less than a moment, the red-robed elder waved his sleeves."The third challenge begins!"He turned around and waved all the disciples of the twelve peaks involved.The group suddenly fell into a vortex. It was only after four or five breaths that they could stand still.A damp and cold feeling, accompanied by a stench of wild beasts, shrouded Su Yu head-on.1In front of her eyes, the pavilions and onlookers have completely disappeared. When Su Yu opened her eyes, she saw a jungle of ancient trees.The three peaks appear to be transmitted to their gate separately.There are only Hang Wan'er and the other four around her."Senior sister, fortunately, we separated. I just wanted to say be careful of the sixth-place peak." Hang Wan'er practice allowed her to see all kinds of emotions, so her face was tense. "Their practice is vicious. Once they defeat a cultivator, they will absorb the other party's spiritual power to replenish themselves."They made her feel bad.Su Yu nodded and looked around.She closed her eyes, feeling damp and the thick earthy smell in her breath."There is a fresh-water river." Su Yu opened her mouth.Yu Dong was looking down at the compass and was stunned.'Fresh?'"Is Second Sister talking about the monster in the river? The direction pointed by the compass is on the west side, which seems to be the source of this dank aura."Hang Wan'er licked her lower lip. "Don't you want to go?"The monsters in the river, such as those serrated-jaw shrimps, taste very good.Su Yu nodded. "Let's go."Yu Dong and Yan Yan immediately walked in front of her cautiously. Hang Wan'er and Zhao Ran guarded her left and right, and Lu Yizhou was at the end to protect her.The six of them walked westward, and stepped on the muddy ground, broken branches and rotting leaves.Yu Dong's complexion gradually became heavy, and the compass in his hand turned violently."At least second to third-rank monsters. It may be dangerous."'Tricky.'Su Yu's lip line is tight.This fishy smell is too strong, mixed with river bed silt smells. It will be hard to eat when cooked directly.Maybe the smell can be covered if she removes the smell with three or four methods and cooks with heavy flavors.Generally, chefs don't like such ingredients.She walked among the crowd with her hands behind her back.They followed Yu Dong's compass all the way to the west. Otherwise, people would easily get lost just by looking at strong pines around them that didn't look any different.But it was only half a column of incense, and suddenly Zhao Ran, who was beside Su Yu, froze. He strode forward and surpassed Yu Dong, flying with his sword in a flash."Little Sixteenth!?"Hang Wan'er was stunned for a moment and immediately threw out her red silk.However, Zhao Ran is now in Foundation Building, and his flying sword disappeared in an instant.Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and they chased after him.They were in a cold sweat when they saw Zhao Ran's figure.They realized he was not conscious and even rushed to a river with no end in sight. He was only one step away from stepping in.And in front of him was actually a big sabre-toothed grouper with a terrifying open mouth, waiting for him to step in."Psychedelic man-eating groupers!"Hang Wan'er's face paled, and her red silk flew out in an instant, dragging Zhao Ran back."Hey, Little Sixteenth!" Hang Wan'er sprayed a ball of water on his face. But not only did he not wake up, but instead, he rose up, stabbed his sword at Hang Wan'er, and rushed to the shore again. He was ready to join the fish's mouth!"Useless."In the viewing seat, Yi Ge stroked his beard."He is only in the early stage of foundation building, and his mind was easily fascinated. This psychedelic man-eater grouper is high-level second-grade, equivalent to the later stage of Foundation Building. Unless it is killed, it is impossible to wake him up."The rest of the peak masters also nodded. "Indeed. This test is about the strength of consciousness."They saw in the projection array that Zhao Ran had already rushed back to the shore, just like what they said.He was not going to step into a fish's mouth this time, but also forty or fifty psychedelics man-devouring fish emerged from the river. Their fish lips are like hooks, and they open coldly towards the crowd of Zhiqiong Peak."Fifth Senior Brother, are you sure you didn't miss anything in your calculation? Can you do it or not!" Hang Wan'er kicked her feet.She had no choice but to throw her red silk and drag Zhao Ran back.She was hesitating whether to tie him with the Five Immortal Ropes, and her body was stiff.Forty or fifty psychedelic groupers opened their fish lips one after another, revealing their sharp sabre teeth.Hang Wan'er's consciousness was going away, and she was immediately ready for confrontation. But faster than her movement, a comb with a warm, hot, spicy scent was inserted into her bun.As soon as she took a breath, the comb rubbed her scalp up and down.'So comfortable...'Hang Wan'er let out a sigh of relief.She squints her eyes and kicks the fish in front of her!Yu Dong nodded to Zhao Ran and Hang Wan'er.He turned around, then he smiled and bowed toward the forest."Disciples watching the battle, have you seen it? If you need any, please book with me at Zhiqiong Peak as soon as possible. The effect is just like what my Seventh Sister and Sixteenth Brother demonstrate. Your consciousness can be restored in an instant. The strength is at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment.""If you want to rent it, five hundred stones per day. Now, the number is limited"Su Yu: "..."'Very good.'Her kitchen has a qualified promoter.Outside the projection array, the disciples rioted instantly."I didn't expect it to improve understanding and make people sober? I don't know how many times it can be used. In a secret realm, it can save lives at critical moments.""Hey, I just took a step slower. Why did I hesitate? If I got it earlier, there wouldn't be as many people robbing me like now!""Damn, it's all the fault of that Linran Peak Master. Originally, Brother Yu Dong remembered me as a classmate and a close friend, and he was about to take my spirit stones! He was actually called to stopah, who will compensate me!"Yi Ge's gaze coldly swept over the disciples watching the battle.Everyone shut up immediately, but the law does not blame the masses.Someone muttered, "If you have the ability, don't buy anything from Zhiqiong Peak in the future."Yi Ge: ..."Brother Yi, don't bother with the juniors." The first-place peak master smiled lightly. He is dressed in a loose green robe embroidered with green bamboo. "You and I know it well. Zhiqiong Peak's honor and disgrace are all tied to this Su Yu. If she is restrained, Zhiqiong Peak will not be able to enter the top three this time."1He pointed to the projection array.Yi Ge smiled when he saw it.He saw the two Golden Core disciples on the sixth-place peak take advantage of the moment when everyone from Zhiqiong Peak was advertising the comb magic weapon. He stepped towards a psychedelic grouper and moved forward in an instant.When they kicked the fishes, they kicked a second-grade high-level psychedelic grouper toward Su Yu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.In the projection array, the nervous figures of Hang Wan'er and Yu Dong rushing to rescue Su Yu flew over in a flash.Yi Ge raised his lips.However, his smile froze for a moment.They saw Su Yu, who had not yet reached the middle stage of the foundation building. She was obviously an alchemist, but she took out a third-grade red copper sword from her spatial storage bag.Her sword was faster than a human. It spun out with a piercing sound in the air. The blade stabbed the psychedelic grouper's gills fiercely and instantly slapped the fish on the chopping board that who knows when it was taken out!!1The grouper was smashed on the chopping board and bounced up for half an inch.Su Yu didn't retreat. She grabbed its struggling fish's tail with her left hand, and a flame of five elements spiritual fire fell on the fish and burned it.The grouper scales were burnt and rolled up.Under the severe pain, the grouper struggled violently, opening its mouth and attacking her.But Su Yu didn't bat an eyelid. The red copper sword in her right hand was pressed against the rolled-up scales and scraped them.Slices of fish scales fell to the ground.She turned around, grabbed the fishtail and flipped it to the other side.In an instant, the flesh of the fish was clean. There was not a single fish scale left.The grouper vibrated frantically in pain. But when it was about to attack again, its head was stunned by the sword, then its head and tail were cut off!Then it was thrown into a double-eared wok on the ground and poured with spiritual water.Then, a fire is lit.Su Yu turned her delicate and gentle snow-white profile in the projection array and asked her younger brothers and sisters softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to replenish your strength and drink some fish soup?""Oh, I almost forgot."Su Yu raised her eyes, smiled at the perpetrator on the shore, and said softly."Catch him for me."The Golden Core disciple of Rongying Peak: ...1The inside and outside of the projection array were stunned.
