Mortal Seeking Immortal

Wu Yong pointed to a few stoneware dishes placed in the pot and said, "Look what these are."

An alluring aroma mixed with a variety of delicacies hit his nostrils, making the glutton in Ye Zhou's belly scream.

Ye Zhou immediately looked at the dishes placed in the pot. Through the thin white mist rising from the pot, Ye Zhou saw a big bowl in the pot, which contained a large bowl of boiled water. Rich unknown soup.

Next to the big bowl were two shallow plates. One plate contained several three-inch-long, index finger-thick fish that were fried to a crispy brown color. The other plate contained a plate of braised chicken feet.

This plate of 'chicken feet' is twice the size of ordinary chicken feet. It is evenly chopped into small pieces, and the marinade marinates the skin of the 'chicken feet' until it turns an attractive yellow color.

At the fracture of each 'chicken foot', you can still see the crystal clear ribs, which look very delicious and make your index fingers tick.

Wu Yong took out a few dishes from the steaming grid in the pot and placed them on an empty wooden table in the corner of the kitchen. He said to Ye Zhou: "These good things are specially left for you by Master." "We were worried about how to find you on Wuliang Mountain where the Sixth Elder lives, but we didn't expect you to find us yourself."

After Wu Yong put away the dishes, he took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard and placed them in front of Ye Zhou. He asked Ye Zhou to sit down. Ye Zhou sat down as he was told, and Wu Yong sat beside him. Ye Zhou then found his way to ask. Said: "Why don't you see senior Wu Yu and the others?"

Wu Yongdao: "The Supreme Elder came back from abroad today and got some rare ingredients to hold a banquet. He invited the heads of our sect and all the elders, as well as Feiyun Sect, Chixia Sect, Wanyun Sect, Miaodan Sect, Qing Sect. More than a dozen elders from the Screen Gate, Wanjian Gate and other sects attended the banquet.”

"Because the ingredients are too precious and must be cooked and eaten fresh, I asked my master to go to his residence to cook a few dishes for him. It is said that the rare ingredients brought back by the Supreme Elder this time will take a long time to process. After a lot of effort, my master and the others may not be able to come back until a few days later.”

"Master was worried that my senior brother would stay in the hospital to take care of the spiritual plants, so he took my senior brother to help him and asked me to stay in the hospital to take care of the spiritual plants."

Ye Zhou smiled and said: "It seems that this Supreme Elder really loves food, and he even held a banquet just for the food."

Wu Yong shook his head and said: "You don't know something about this. Food is just a reason. It is said that the elders of each sect are invited here to discuss the trip to the secret realm in three years' time. How many elders can be sent by each major sect? Disciples enter the secret realm."

Ye Zhou asked: "The trip to the secret realm three years later? What is that?"

Wu Yong explained: "Hundreds of years ago, the four sects and three sects in Donglin Kingdom simultaneously discovered a large-scale secret realm left by ancient monks. There are countless rare spiritual plants distributed in this secret realm."

"As the spiritual energy in the world of cultivating immortals becomes increasingly thinner, in addition to the spiritual plants planted within the sects, the spiritual plants that the major sects can pick from the outside are becoming increasingly rare. The spiritual plants in this secret territory have gradually become the main spiritual plants of the four sects and three sects. Plant origin.”

"However, this secret realm can only be opened once every twenty years, and there are restrictions on the number of people and cultivation levels. The total number of people entering the secret realm must not exceed four thousand, and their cultivation levels must not exceed the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen Realm."

"Once you exceed the foundation-building Dzogchen realm, you will be attacked by the restrictions outside the secret realm. Even if a monk is lucky enough to break into the secret realm, he will be attacked by the monsters and restrictions within the secret realm, and will eventually end up dead. "

"In the beginning, in order to fairly distribute the resources in the secret realm, the four sects and three sects all sent the same number of disciples into the secret realm to collect spiritual plants. However, due to various factors, the four sects and three sects received more or less resources from the secret realm each time."

"In addition, some sects have lost their power in the past few hundred years, which has caused other sects with less profits to start coveting each other's disciples."

"At this time, someone suggested that each sect's disciples should be ranked according to the number of spiritual plants they brought back each time, and the rankings would be used to determine the number of people from each sect who would enter the secret realm next time."

"This proposal was naturally opposed by several weaker sects, but based on the principle of the minority taking majority, the proposal was finally passed with the approval of four sects."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Since the number of people from each sect entering the secret realm is based on the number of spiritual plants obtained from the secret realm last time."

"Then why did the Supreme Elder invite the elders of several other sects to discuss the number of disciples to be sent this time? Could it be that something happened?"

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, Wu Yong glanced at Ye Zhou appreciatively, nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed some changes."

"This matter starts from the last trip to the secret realm. During the last trip to the secret realm, the disciples sent by two sects received the same total number of spiritual plants, which means that their rankings were tied. This result is What the other sects least want to see.”

"There is no other reason. If they allocate places according to the same ranking, it means that the number of disciples from other sects will be reduced. Therefore, the elder Taishang called the elders of each sect this time to let these two The sect will determine the winner and loser to determine the number of disciples for the next trip to the secret realm."

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "That's it."

Having said this, Wu Yong glanced at the dishes on the table and hurriedly urged Ye Zhou to use his chopsticks. These dishes would not taste good when they were cold.

Ye Zhou picked up the spoon, scooped up half a bowl of soup and took a sip. As soon as the rich soup entered his mouth, a delicious broth flavor mixed with the sweet taste of various spiritual plants exploded on Ye Zhou's taste buds. Come.

I don’t know what kind of spiritual animal meat was used for this meat, but there is no meaty smell at all, and there is only the smell of meat.

At the same time, Lingzhi has no bitter taste of medicinal materials, only sweetness. The two flavors are perfectly blended in the soup, which makes people feel appetizing. Ye Zhou drank up half of the soup in one breath. .

After drinking the soup, a strong spiritual power was released from the soup and flowed down Ye Zhou's stomach into his Dantian, making Ye Zhou feel more comfortable all over.

Ye Zhou sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that this soup is not only delicious, but also contains so much spiritual power. Eating it like this is much better than taking the Qi Gathering Pill."

"No wonder the elder Taishang loves delicious food. If he could eat such delicious food every day, who would be willing to take tasteless elixirs."

As soon as Ye Zhou put the bowl on the table, he saw Wu Yong sitting aside, staring at the bowl in his hand with fiery eyes, and asked: "Ye Zhou, is my master's craftsmanship good? This soup was made by my master after spending half a month, adding various rare spiritual plants, and simmering it over low heat. "

Ye Zhou nodded and praised: "Senior Wu Yu's craftsmanship is truly well-deserved. I have never tasted such a delicious soup. I really have no regrets in this life."

Wu Yong answered: "You're a lucky kid. If it were ordinary ingredients, my master wouldn't have spent half a month cooking it."
