Chapter 55 Jadeite Delight Stewed Pork Bones
Chapter 55 Jadeite Delight Stewed Pork Bones
Option 1: Swallow the Narcissus Jade Bone and the Miraculous Chrysanthemum in several doses. Like two surging torrents, they strengthen her body, nourish her tendons and veins, replenish her bones, circulate her qi in her limbs, and unblock her blood vessels, as if she were to cultivate an indestructible body.
This undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the subsequent evolution of martial spirits.
The benefits are obvious: physical strength will be greatly improved, and cultivation speed will increase several times over like a rocket.
However, a drawback also looms large: the toxins in her body will flow through her entire body like a burst dam when her qi circulates in her limbs and blood flows through her meridians, making it extremely difficult to eliminate the toxins in the future.
Option 2: Take both the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delight at the same time, and then use the spring water from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to train your body. It's like a feast where ice and fire blend together.
Its advantages are perfect: it is immune to all poisons, immune to both ice and fire, and can strengthen the body. Even if she does not evolve her martial soul in the future, she will not have to worry about the backlash of the martial soul poison.
However, the drawbacks are equally alarming.
First, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, this rare and celestial herb of extreme cold and poison, is like a sharp blade that chills to the bone. Prolonged contact with it can easily lead to the poison attacking the heart, leaving one with no cure.
Secondly, the Fiery Apricot Blossom is also a rare and precious fire poison, its entire body is fiery red, just like a burning flame, which is completely opposite to the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.
The slightest mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's soul.
Dugu Yan examined the two plans one by one and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. The first plan seemed conservative, but in reality it meant that the user had to complete the evolution of Liangxin's martial soul in a short period of time after taking the two spiritual herbs. Otherwise, the soul master would become a container for poison.
One day in the future, either the soul poison will backfire, wreaking havoc like a demon; or the container will shatter, poisoning the surrounding area like a toxic fog.
The second option is more like a life-or-death gamble, where life and death depend entirely on the dice roll of luck.
Strangely, Dugu Yan had a strong feeling that this plan was tailor-made for her.
Then, she looked up, and their eyes met; time seemed to freeze at that moment.
In this delicate and awkward atmosphere, Wu Heyi broke the silence first.
"Dugu Yan, if you had to choose, what would you do?"
Before Wu Heyi could finish speaking, Dugu Bo grabbed him by the back of his collar like a chick and threw him out of the cave.
Wu Heyi rubbed his bottom, which was almost split into four pieces, and looked back with a complaining look.
After a long while, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan slowly walked out of the cave. The two thought to themselves that Wu Heyi was probably hiding in some corner and sobbing.
Unexpectedly, Wu Heyi had already found a unique way and started making soup in an open space.
If you ask what kind of soup this is, it is the Jadeite Delight Stewed with Thousand-Year-Old Red Pig Bones.
The slightly cloudy broth, like a thin veil, floated with a light sheen of oil, and the air was filled with a rich aroma, like an invisible hand gently beckoning people's index fingers.
Wu Heyi sprinkled a light salt into the soup and stirred it gently with a spoon, his movements like painting a beautiful picture. Then he carefully scooped up a small half bowl and took a small sip.
"Wow~"
Dugu Bo looked at the mess on the open ground. Although the soul beast had been neatly divided up by Wu Heyi like an artist, giving people a pleasing feeling, Dugu Bo felt a unique anger burning in his heart.
"Boy, what exactly did you do to my herb garden!"
Wu Heyi turned around upon hearing the sound and saw that the two of them had already come out. Judging from Dugu Yan's expression, Dugu Bo must have told her everything. As for the specifics of the story, Wu Heyi didn't want to speculate.
Upon seeing the furious Dugu Bo, Wu Heyi instinctively filled a large bowl with Jadeite Delicate Stewed Pork Bones and respectfully handed it to Dugu Bo.
"Don't worry, old monster, I'm not the kind of person who would eat alone. Look, I saved a portion for you, didn't I?"
With that smug smile on Wu Heyi's face, Dugu Bo really wanted to smash the bowl in his hand. If he hadn't seen the plant in the bowl, the root of some kind of immortal herb, he probably would have already merged with his martial spirit!
After serving Dugu Bo a bowl, he served Dugu Yan another bowl. Seeing that Dugu Bo didn't touch it, Wu He thought to himself, "Could it be that he can't eat because he doesn't have chopsticks?"
So, Wu Heyi walked like a gust of wind to a bamboo grove, and on the few remaining ice crystal jade bamboos, he easily broke off a few bamboo branches as if breaking off fragile willow branches, handed them to the two of them, and said in a light tone.
"The environment is limited, so let's just make do with what we have!"
Looking at the simple bamboo chopsticks in her hand, Dugu Yan murmured, "The environment is limited, so I'll just have to make do with this."
But looking at her grandfather's gloomy face, which seemed to drip water, she dared not eat, how could she possibly eat!
Although this bamboo is not some kind of magical herb or plant, it is still a treasure that her grandfather carefully protected in this valley. To break it off and use it as chopsticks is simply touching Dugu Bo's sore spot.
Especially the phrase "just make do with what you have," in Dugu Bo's inner monologue, he had already smashed Wu Heyi's broken bowl to pieces.
Upon seeing that bowl, Dugu Bo felt a sudden tremor in his heart. Wasn't this the ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal from his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?
"Those millennia-old ice crystals are exceptionally hard. How did this kid manage to turn that thing into a bowl?"
Although he was angry, Dugu Bo wasn't a petty person. He needed to know what was in the pot, lest he swallow a mouthful of poison that he couldn't cure himself, which would be disastrous.
"Kid, tell me, what is this Jadeite Linglong?"
"I've never seen it in my herb garden!"
When Wu Heyi heard the question, he turned around and saw that he was chewing a piece of food like a hamster.
He chewed for a while before swallowing and said.
"Wild boars can't eat fine bran!"
Wu Heyi's face was full of disdain, as if to say: A pond full of treasures, and you don't even know how to eat them!
"The thing you're talking about is the root of the Water Fairy in your pond! That thing is a treasure from top to bottom, it's just a pity you don't know how to enjoy it!"
"That flower is called Water Palace Fairy. Its petals are like celestial dew and nectar. Eating it directly can resist the invasion of inner demons during cultivation. It also has a miraculous detoxifying effect in the face of hallucinogenic toxins!"
Its core is like a magic elixir, used for medicinal baths. For elderly people like you who are not very bright, it has miraculous effects on strengthening the body and bones and enhancing memory!
Its jadeite pebbles usually come in three-nine varieties, each one like a powerful pill, with the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, but two out of every three pebbles contain hidden poison!
Its root is like the jade exquisite in your bowl, which can enhance understanding and nourish the body!
Most importantly, it has a sweet taste, and when used to stew pork bones, the flavor is simply indescribable!
As Wu Heyi spoke, he picked up another large one and began to chew it with relish.
Seeing Wu Heyi's smug expression, Dugu Yan was speechless, thinking that Dugu Bo would be furious.
But who could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo had arrived at the cauldron and was feasting with Wu Heyi.
"It smells so good!"
