Chapter 7: First Grade Garuda + Three Spirit Birds

It is almost noon.
The sun is shining brightly at Zhiqiong Peak.

As soon as Su Yu opened the door, she saw the “demon boy” standing in her courtyard.

He really doesn't want to let his second senior sister rest.

Standing outside the courtyard, Lu Yizhou blushed and blamed himself.

However, seeing Su Yu coming out, he hurriedly spoke first, “I don't mean to urge Second Senior Sister to refine it now.
I just want to ask Senior Sister to see if these spiritual materials are suitable.”

“All right.”

Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.

This future deputy kid can be taught.

The essence of cooking lies in the quality of the ingredients.

The so-called chef is just a craftsman who maximizes the ingredients' charm.

So, checking the suitability of ingredients is always a chef's first work.

“Take it out and let me see.” Su Yu was in a good mood.

Lu Yizhou looked nervously at his spatial storage bag.

After gritting his teeth, he took out the first-rank Garuda that he had spent five hundred spirit stones buying…
a quarter of it.

His savings are not much.
Most of it has already been spent buying his qin and various qin techniques.
He only had 1,200 spiritual stones in his body, and now nearly half of them were gone.

“Senior sister, this is a Garuda.
I bought it from the exchange office.” Lu Yizhou carefully grabbed the oiled paper bag and handed it over.

Su Yu took it.
Before opening the paper bag, she felt the pad.

The tip of her nose moved slightly, and her eyebrows frowned.
“It's not very fresh.
It seems to be dead for a while.”

Lu Yizhou was surprised.

Second Senior Sister, how did you know this before opening it?

“Well, some first-grade Garuda suddenly flew and attacked the cultivators outside.
So Tiansheng academy issued a task for hunting Garuda in the southern border.”

'Tiansheng academy, the largest sect in the South? Isn't this the sect of the female lead?'

Su Yu raised her eyebrows.

The heroine is a group favorite and has a luck buff in the Tiansheng sect.
She knew a lot of stories related to this sect.

But she didn't expect to hear the name so quickly.

In the early days of the novel, the Nanxun academy and the Tiansheng academy were the two major sects in the southern realm that watched and helped each other.
Originally, they had a good relationship and often sent their disciples to each other's sect to study.

But in the final battle with demons, a group of arrogant cultivators from Nanxun were fooled into acting as vanguards.
Many elders and disciples fell one after another, while the Tiansheng sect hid behind Nanxun, unscathed, and became the big hero of human cultivators.

Su Yu pursed her lips.

Before this episode occurs, she must grasp the right to speak in Zhiqiong Peak as soon as possible and cultivate effective deputies and assistants.

Then at that time, if she doesn't tell them to rush to the front, no one will want to move!

Anyway, the heroine, with excellent luck, can handle the demon war.
Why would it need her help? She is just a control group.

“About four or five days ago, someone from our sect also took the Garuda mission.”

So this monster was at least four or five days old.

Su Yu frowned.
Her thoughts returned to the ingredients in front of her.

'It has been slaughtered so long ago.'

But she didn't speak.
She opened the oiled paper bag, which was about the size of a whole leg of lamb.
She looked carefully at the first 1st-grade monster she came into contact with in this Immortal world.

She saw a mutilated and hideous half of a left wing.

The wing feathers are firm, with a metallic luster.
The wing bones are thick and hard, and the flesh is reddish-purple.

This left wing is incomplete, and it was violently slashed five or six times by some random cultivator.

The quality is really unsightly.

Su Yu stretched out her hand from its wing's base to its tip, groping slowly.

“Second Senior Sister, how is it? Can it be used?”

Lu Yizhou saw her serious expression, and his heart was beating hard.

Because he doesn't have enough spirit stones, he can't buy the whole Garuda.

Not only he can only afford a quarter, but the price of this quarter is also the cheapest.
He can only choose this part, which does not contain the inner core of the monster.

He didn't know if the second senior sister could use it or not.
Before, at the exchange office, he sent a jade slip message to ask her which part should be selected.

She replied with four words – it depends on your taste.

Lu Yizhou almost fainted at the time.

Do Hundreds of Birds Facing the Phoenix's cultivation have a taste?

He stood still at the exchange office and thought about it seriously.
Compared with the sound of the qin turning into bird legs, the sound of the qin turning into flying wings should be better, so he chose the golden wing part.

'Is there a problem?'

Su Yu raised her eyes and glanced at him slowly.

“You'd better be mentally prepared.
This monster was slaughtered a long time ago.
It is not fresh, and its appearance is seriously damaged.
No matter how it is processed, it will not become a treasure.”

Lu Yizhou: 'What should I do?'

Now, if he goes back to the exchange office, can the elder agree to get him a refund?

But he couldn't afford a better Garuda either.

“But it's shameful to waste ingredients.
Since you have bought it, even if it's not a treasure, you can still enjoy it.”

Su Yu asked again.

“What flavor do you want to eat?”

Lu Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief and said shyly, “A more powerful…
taste?”

Su Yu gave him a deep look, “Okay.”

Lu Yizhou then pulls out the spirit cormorant, water-pulling pigeons, and another common spiritual bird from his storage bag and hands them over to her.

Su Yu was thinking of a suitable recipe for wings, but when she saw the three spirit birds of different sizes and meat quality, she raised her eyebrows.

“Okay.
Fourth Junior Brother, you have to come to test Senior Sister's new work tomorrow.”

Lu Yizhou was stunned, “Tomorrow?”

 

 

'So soon?'

…

That night, Su Yu, who ignored the heroine's plotline, flipped through the encyclopedia of monsters in her room.

During the day, she boiled the chicken soup essence six times.
The five elements cauldron in her dantian had been exhausted, so she stayed in the room to rest and learned about the ingredients here.

Knowing the raw materials is essential homework for a good chef.
This way, she can carefully plan the cooking plans and steps to minimize the possibility of failure and waste of ingredients.

Su Yu kept thinking excitedly until the middle of the night.
With a little bit of confidence, she went to bed and fell asleep soundly.

In her sleep.

With a smile on her lips, she dreamed of the joy of pondering cooking skills in her childhood.
Her dantian's five-elements iron cauldron kept burning while she was sleeping.

Every moment of burning, the aura that runs on her own within her body is dyed with five colors of light.

This five-element iron cauldron seemed to be bigger than when she woke up two days ago.

In the Huoling Peak of Tiansheng academy, the first sect in the South, stood a woman in fluttering white clothes, with black hair reaching her waist.
A gorgeous fire-shaped decoration was placed on her forehead, adding a touch of coquettishness to her delicate face.

“Second Senior Sister, I retreated today to learn the sword art – Sea of Fire Sword Art.”

“Second Senior Sister bestowed the power of blessing.”

A blue-clothed disciple holding a sword walked up quickly towards her with a respectful expression.

Mei Zhen'er smiled lightly and immediately stretched out her sleeves with her frost-color wrists.
A pair of soft and slender hands touched his forehead, “Fourth Junior Brother is lucky today.
You will be successful.”

The blue-clothed disciple was overjoyed, “Thank you, Second Senior Sister!”

In an instant, he felt that his divine platform was clear and bright.
He vaguely saw the sword move direction that was clearer than usual.
He hurriedly said goodbye.

After he left, Mei Zhen'er walked into the quiet room with a smile and looked at the moon-white beads on her wrist.

“Elder Liu, are you all right?”

The bead string tinkled for a while, and a cloud of mist appeared, in which the white-haired old man gradually materialized.

The old voice full of compassion sounded.

“Naturally, there is no problem.
That person and your luck have become two sides of yin and yang.
One is retreating, and the other is growing.”

“Recently, the other party has a close person.
He will fail to comprehend the Dao.
The loss of luck will transfer to you, which will assist in a breakthrough in the enlightenment of a disciple of the Huoling Peak around you.”

“Just wait.”

Mei Zhen'er raised a corner of her pink lips.

She is born with luck and will spontaneously take the luck of the people around her.

Until she met Elder Liu and changed her luck anchor point to someone outside the Tiansheng Sect, that person's eight characters and spiritual roots were compatible with her, and finally, she no longer let this sect suffer.
She was able to use that person's luck and talent and benefit the people around her.

 

The loss of luck is indeed pitiful.

But this is God's will.
What can she do?

If she meets her in the future, she will compensate her.

“Thank you, Elder Liu.” Mei Zhen'er smiled and crossed her knees.

After entering meditation, there was an endless stream of silk threads on her body, pulling a red and purple aura from a distance into her body.

The next day, there was a clear sky above Zhiqiong Peak.

Su Yu woke up but sneezed inexplicably.

“Huh? Who's thinking of me?”

After a simple wash, she made sure she didn't catch a cold before she went to the kitchen with a radiant face.

Many junior brothers and sisters saw her along the way, but they all dodged her in advance and left quickly.

Su Yu didn't say hello to them either.
Now all she was thinking about was kitchen skills and nurturing assistants.
She doesn't have time to manage these little guys.

“I will leave you guys alone for now.”

Su Yu walked into the kitchen with a smile.

She couldn't wait to experience what kind of luxurious ingredients a Grade 1 monster would become.

When she entered the kitchen, she immediately attacked the first-rank Garuda that she had been thinking about all night.

But for a moment, her expression looks weird.

She chopped a knife with a bang.

But the kitchen knife in her hand shook.

“…”

Grade 1 monsters are definitely not something that ordinary kitchen knives can chop.

With a little force, her fifth level of Qi refining wrist was numb from the shock.
After a long time, only a piece of tender meat on the golden wing was cut off, but not even a trace was left on the wing bone.

Su Yu frowned immediately.

“Fourth Junior Brother, where are you? Bring me your Third Senior Brother's sword.”

Lu Yizhou was studying how Hundreds of Birds Facing the Phoenix could improve himself.
But as soon as he received the message from his jade slip, he immediately stood up.

Could it be that his second senior sister is making spirit bird powder for him?

“So fast!”

It was so early in the morning.

Lu Yizhou rushed out of his courtyard with the guqin in his arms.
He ran all the way and did not even have a single shred of his calm boy image left.

When he got to the door of the small kitchen, he paused.

“Second Senior Sister, what do you want Third Senior Brother's sword for?”

“Naturally to chop bones.”

'The copper sword that Third Senior Brother holds in his hands day and night like a Taoist companion?'

Lu Yizhou looked at the stove where Su Yu was busy.

The left wing of the first-grade Garuda was neatly placed on the brown wooden cutting board.

“Second Senior Sister, your water-breaking sword…”

Su Yu was cooking the spirit cormorant, but she raised her eyebrows when she heard his words, “Who would chop meat with a sword? Don't take advantage of me.”

 

'Then third senior brother's sword…?'

Lu Yizhou was confused.

Su Yu turned her head, “Don't be long-winded.
Isn't he going to sell it?”

It also seemed to make sense.

Lu Yizhou was completely persuaded.
He carefully took the copper knife out of his storage bag and handed it to her respectfully.

If he turned around and told his third senior brother, his third senior brother should not object, right?

He was too pedantic.

“Second Senior Sister, please use it.”

Su Yu hummed with satisfaction, “Put it aside.
I'll use it later.”

After saying that, she closed her eyes and stroked the spirit cormorant in her hands.

After about three breaths, Lu Yizhou saw her open her eyes and put her thumb into the knife's handle, and place the edge on the spirit cormorant's neck.

Her fingers are white and slender like green onions.
They were dexterous and meticulous.
She was not in a hurry but calmly took out piece after piece of the whole bones from the spirit cormorant.

Lu Yizhou widened his eyes.

This is the second time he has seen Second Senior Sister cook, no, making elixir.

Unexpectedly, this time she was even more proficient.
The spirit cormorant in her hands seemed to have no hidden corners.

All bones, big or small, were removed one by one.
However, the outer skin was still intact and flawless.

He couldn't help thinking of Master Li's words.

The ultimate of all things is the Dao.

Lu Yizhou seemed to understand vaguely.

And after Su Yu dealt with this spirit cormorant, she washed it with a water spell.
Then she wiped her hands and turned to deal with the first-grade Garuda that made her head hurt.

Wei Zhao's sword didn't fit her hand very well, but it was much harder than a kitchen knife.
It was easier to use than the sword in her spatial storage bag.

After getting familiar with it for a while, she started to slice the meat of the golden wings.
She sliced ​​all the purple-red wing meat cleanly, without any residue on the pale golden wing bones.

After doing this, she threw the chopped wing bones into the pot.

Her expression was both excited and solemn.

Even she didn't dare to get distracted when cooking this big dish.
If there is a slight difference, it will leave a big impact.

“Okay, you go back to work.”

Su Yu waved her knife to chase Lu Yizhou away.

…

As it approached noon, Lu Yizhou, who was kicked out of the kitchen, continued to comprehend Hundred of Birds Facing the Phoenix.

But he doesn't know why.
Once he adjusts his breath and thinks about it, he always feels that his sea of ​​​​knowledge is chaotic.
There is a gray fog lingering in his mind, and it makes him uneasy.
If he continues to comprehend will obviously result in a failure and make him go crazy.

“What's the matter? I haven't felt this uneasy in the past two days.”

Lu Yizhou's face was heavy.

Is his aptitude really that bad? Comprehending the third level of Phoenix Qin art was already so hard.
There was a sense of unease that his sea of ​​​​knowledge would be broken.

He couldn't help remembering what his second senior sister said yesterday.

“Senior Sister said don't hold my expectations on the Grade 1 Garuda.”

Hey.

“Most likely, it won't work this time.”

He also knew that he bought the lowest grade because there were not enough spirit stones.
Probably most alchemists would dislike it.

All these signs are ominous.
It seems that his fate is destined.
He should have given up quickly and don't continue to comprehend.+

Lu Yizhou was suddenly confused and couldn't even concentrate on adjusting his breath.

He stroked the qin randomly and looked anxiously in the direction of the kitchen from a distance, but suddenly, he saw a cloud of purple-red mist rising from the kitchen and circling the sky.

Faintly, there seemed to be a screeching cry, calling him sharply.

The disturbing gray fog in his sea of ​​​​knowledge was instantly shaky and shattered.

Lu Yizhou:
