Chapter 158: Upgrading the Root Bone, Spirit Turtle's Treasury

Fresh!

With just one bite, Fu Ning's eyes widened.

As the fish meat, soaked in strong alcohol, entered her mouth, it was like igniting a fire.

And as she closed her lips, the slightly cool fish meat burst with an unprecedented novelty on her tongue.

Unlike the previous Jade Rabbit meat, this time none of the four fought over it.

Allowing a piece of fish meat to melt in their mouths, it transformed into a hint of fragrance.

"So fresh!"

The bright moon hung high.

The trees swayed.

In the secluded corner of Pill Mound, there was an atmosphere of excitement.

In this manner, one bite after another, they lost track of time. The last piece of fish meat on the jade plate was placed into Senior Gan Lan's mouth.

The faces of the other three simultaneously showed a trace of regret.

Senior Chen Mo smacked his lips and said with lingering desire, "This fish meat made by Senior is enough to make our mouths water."

Zhou Ye chuckled and said, "A clever woman cannot cook without rice. We must thank Junior for the precious tiger-spotted fish."

Fu Ning exhaled a breath of turbid air, the scent of alcohol and fish mixed together, making it simply irresistible. "While the fish meat is indeed rare, I have to say that it is Senior's method of brewing the alcohol that truly deserves the title of 'exquisite'."

Strong alcohol and fresh fish, hot and cold, truly marvelous.

Gurgle gurgle~

At this moment, white steam rose from the nearby large pot.

The lid of the pot made a popping sound.

Seeing this, Senior Zhou Ye quickly got up and lifted the lid of the pot, stirring it a few times before pouring all the remaining strong alcohol into it.

Soon, the fragrance of medicine, alcohol, and a hint of fish mixed together, as if it was going to engulf the entire Pill Mound.

The three of them were instantly attracted by this special delicacy.

"Splash~"

Senior Zhou Ye stirred the medicinal food, and at some point, he had summoned his own culinary expert, Jade Rabbit.

"While the fish meat of the tiger-spotted fish is indeed precious, the true essence lies in the fish bones."

"The fish bones are the source of bone marrow and the root of tendons and fascia. Cooking them into medicinal food surpasses the efficacy of Spirit Pills."

As he spoke, Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit had already scooped up a spoonful of fish bone soup.

Splash splash~

Gurgle gurgle~

Senior Zhou Ye seemed to understand its words and took out a packet of seasoning from his pocket, sprinkling about half a spoonful into the pot.

Soon, the meat in the pot visibly thickened, and the aroma became even more intense.

"So fragrant!"

Jade Rabbit tasted it repeatedly, unable to find any flaws. Only then did Senior Zhou Ye smile and say, "It's time to take it off the stove."

Saying that, he took out four jade bowls from his pocket, seemingly matching the jade plate from earlier.

However, while the jade plate was the size of a basin, each jade bowl was only the size of a fist.

In the end, only four bowls of medicinal food were made from half a pot.

The medicinal food had turned a brownish color, and the fish bones and spirit herbs had long melted into it.

Fu Ning picked up a bowl of medicinal food and took a sip. The medicinal food was thick, like jelly.

It tasted slightly bitter on the tongue, releasing the fragrance of medicine as it melted. When it reached the throat, the medicinal fragrance dissipated and transformed into the fresh aroma of fish bones.

As the medicinal food flowed down her throat into her stomach, a warm and gentle heat spread throughout her body. Origin Qi originated from the Origin Sea, slowly circulating throughout her body.

Fu Ning couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

She turned to look at the other three, who all closed their eyes simultaneously.

[The medicinal food contains a rich essence of bone refinement, increasing Qi and blood aptitude by 10%, and Root Bone aptitude by 20%.]

[Root Bone aptitude has been upgraded to 'superior'.]

[Fu Ning

Age: 15 years old]

Aptitude: Qi and Blood (Good, 76%), Root Bone (Excellent, 2%), Water Element (Good, 97%), Wind Element (Average, 72%), Ice Element (Good, 31%), Earth Element (Good, 21%).

Upon hearing the system prompt, Fu Ning couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect that just a bowl of fish bone soup would successfully improve his Root Bone aptitude by one level!

Fu Ning opened his eyes, and Senior Zhou Ye and Senior Chen Mo had already woken up, leaving only Senior Gan Lan with her eyes closed.

"How is it? How's the effect?" Senior Zhou Ye smiled foolishly.

Fu Ning clenched his fist. "This fish bone soup is truly miraculous. I feel like my whole body is filled with strength now."

"It's even more obvious than when we ate the Jade Rabbit back then."

You should know that the Jade Rabbit is a Spirit Beast, while the tiger-spotted fish is just a rare fish.

Upon hearing this, Senior Zhou Ye explained, "Of course."

"This tiger-spotted fish is not as good as the Jade Rabbit in replenishing elemental energy, but its fish bones are condensed with essence, making it even better for the Root Bone than Spirit Beasts and fierce beasts."

"I see."

"It's just that there's too little of this medicinal soup. I haven't really tasted its flavor yet."

Senior Chen Mo smacked his lips and looked at the empty iron pot.

Senior Zhou Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Junior Brother, you're thinking too lightly."

"This tiger-spotted fish itself is extremely difficult to catch, let alone finding the medicinal ingredients to make the soup."

"Even if we catch the tiger-spotted fish next time, it's not certain that we can make such a pot of medicinal food."

Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard a crisp sound of cracking.

The three of them looked over and saw that Senior Gan Lan had already opened her eyes.

Senior Gan Lan had an innate talent in Body Refining.

And the effect of this fish bone soup on her was particularly obvious.

Just with one bowl, Senior Gan Lan felt as if her whole body had been beaten, and she successfully broke through the Body Tempering Realm that she had been unable to break through for a long time.

Her body seemed to have grown another circle.

"Comfortable~"

She stretched lazily, shining like a mountain god under the light of the bonfire.

Fu Ning glanced at her arms and then at his own thighs: Who said that arms can't be thicker than thighs? That's not necessarily true~

"Junior Sister, you made a breakthrough?"

Senior Zhou Ye quickly approached and asked.

Senior Gan Lan nodded and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for the medicinal food, and thank you, Junior Brother, for the fish bones."

Senior Chen Mo was overjoyed. "Congratulations, Senior Sister. Our chances of winning in Red Mountain have increased."

The competition in the Three Mountains Grand Competition this time was extremely fierce.

According to Zheng Datong, only the top twenty disciples before the competition would have a chance to step onto the Ao's Head and observe.

So during this period of time, everyone had been working hard to improve their strength.

Senior Chen Mo crossed his arms and looked up and down at Senior Gan Lan, then said in a deep voice, "Among the 'Four Heroes of Red Mountain,' Senior Sister is the strongest. There should be no problem entering the top ten."

Four Heroes of Red Mountain???

Fu Ning was confused. Did he automatically join them?

"If there's a chance, maybe we can enter the Spirit Turtle Treasury."

"Spirit Turtle Treasury?"

Fu Ning was stunned.

He only knew that the disciples selected for the competition could step onto the Ao's Head, but the "Spirit Turtle Treasury" was the first time he had heard of it.

Senior Zhou Ye explained, "Junior Brother, you usually like to seclude yourself for cultivation, so it's understandable that you don't know about the Spirit Turtle Treasury."

"Our Spirit Turtle Island has been established for over four hundred years, and all the treasures accumulated through generations are in the Spirit Turtle Treasury."

"There are not only precious materials and wonders recorded inside, but also the imprints of the predecessors' legacies. If you obtain one, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

"Legacy imprints..."

Fu Ning suddenly thought of the "Falling Lotus" left by White Lotus Scenic Master on his body. It should belong to the legacy imprints.
