Chapter 41: Roasting Cranes, Eight Immortals Angry

Accepted the system task.

Gu Xiu received the information from the system about the eight Golden Immortals heading to Mount Kunlun.

They were Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Daoist, Julusun, Daoxing Tianzun, and Huanglong Zhenren.

Currently, the mounts of the Twelve Golden Immortals were basically cranes.

Because their strength was relatively low, they couldn't be used for transportation at all and could only be raised in their own dojos. Taking advantage of their absence was the perfect time to catch them.

Gu Xiu prepared the Universe bag, had the two Qilin pull the carriage, and the first stop was the Taoyuan Cave of Mount Jiuxian.

This was where Guangchengzi's cave dwelling was located.

Currently, there were only Guangchengzi's boy, White Cloud Boy, and a white crane in Taoyuan Cave.

Outside Taoyuan Cave, a crane in the True Immortal realm was resting on a tree branch.

Looking at that crane, its body was slender, its feathers were like snow, and the red crown on its head radiated auspicious light in the moonlight, looking delicious.

Gu Xiu didn't think much, flashed over, grabbed the crane's neck, and before the crane could react, it was thrown into the Universe bag.

Then, he left Mount Jiuxian in the royal carriage and headed to the next location.

After visiting several cave dwellings in succession, Gu Xiu's technique for catching cranes became more and more proficient.

Finally, he arrived at the cave dwelling of Perfected Lord Huanglong, Mount Erxian, Magu Cave.

His gaze fell on a crane sleeping on a blue stone. This crane seemed to have a better diet and was much sturdier than the other cranes.

"Huanglong, this guy has no ability, loses every battle, but wants to show off in everything, wanting to express himself, but always ends in tragedy. Not only does he have no disciples or magic treasures, but the cave dwelling was also given by Magu."

Gu Xiu felt a bit unbearable, but for the sake of the task, he had no choice but to take away Huanglong's only mount.

Landing behind the crane sleeping on the blue stone, he grabbed the crane's neck. The crane was startled and struggled desperately, but was soon thrown into the Universe bag by Gu Xiu.

The mounts of the eight Golden Immortals were all caught in the Universe bag, successfully completing the task.

But the system did not sound, indicating that the task was not yet completed.

"It seems I need to eat these cranes to complete the task."

Thinking of this, Gu Xiu returned to the royal carriage and had the two Qilin pull him toward Three Immortals Island.

Soon he returned to Three Immortals Island.

He found some dry branches and started a fire.

Then he began to process the cranes, plucking feathers, opening the belly, and the movements were very skillful.

After processing the cranes, he used several thick branches to make a simple rack, strung the cranes with sharpened branches, and roasted them slowly over the fire.

With the licking of the flames, the skin of the cranes gradually became golden and crispy, sizzling with oil, exuding an enticing aroma.

Gu Xiu turned the branches from time to time to ensure the cranes were heated evenly and roasted just right.

Seeing that the roasting was almost done, he reached out and tore off a crane wing, tasted it in his mouth, and couldn't help but evaluate it.

"This crane meat is not bad, tender and juicy, extremely crispy, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is."

"Ding!"

"Task completed, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a bottle of Three-Light Divine Water!"

Seeing the system prompt that the task was completed, the Three-Light Divine Water was in hand.

Gu Xiu took out the Three-Light Divine Water.

The Three-Light Divine Water was Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water.

Among them, Sunlight Divine Water can wear away blood, essence, bones, and flesh.

Moonlight Divine Water can corrode the primordial spirit and soul.

Starlight Divine Water can dissolve the true spirit and consciousness.

It looks very dangerous, but when the three kinds of divine water are combined into one, it becomes the number one healing holy medicine, which can relieve all poisons, treat all wounds and diseases, and even bring the dead back to life.

The Three-Light Divine Water was owned by Yuanshi Tianzun in the Investiture of the Gods, stored in the Eight-Treasure Glazed Bottle. Yuanshi used the Three-Light Divine Water twice to secretly save Western Qi.

Gu Xiu put away the Three-Light Divine Water.

He began to enjoy the roasted cranes.

Suddenly, three graceful figures arrived.

Seeing them, Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then swallowed the crane meat in his mouth and greeted them busily.

"Master, two Junior Uncles, you came just in time, come and taste the crane meat I just roasted."

"Crane meat?" Yun Xiao frowned slightly, parted her red lips: "Where did the cranes come from? And there are eight in total? You didn't catch the cranes on Jinao Island to eat, did you?"

The cranes on Jinao Island were raised by the Jie Sect, and many were the mounts of fellow disciples.

If Gu Xiu really went to Jinao Island to catch cranes to eat, she would have to think about how to explain it to her fellow disciples.

"Master, the cranes on Jinao Island are raised by our Jie Sect, how could I do that kind of thing? These days, I went to the vicinity of Kunlun and found many cranes, so I caught eight of them and brought them back."

Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, just wanting to say that the cranes on Mount Kunlun might be raised by the Chan Sect, when she saw Bi Xiao blinking her agile big eyes, laughing and running over.

"Since they are not the cranes on Jinao Island, then I can rest assured to eat. I smelled the fragrance from far away, I've wanted to taste it for a long time."

Saying this, Bi Xiao tore off a crane leg and took a bite, making a "crunching" sound, and the fragrance instantly exploded in her mouth.

The crane meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich taste.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, it's really delicious. The junior's craftsmanship is really good, you should come and taste it too."

After speaking, she ate without any scruples, her corners of the mouth were stained with oil, and even her fair and delicate cheeks were stained with meat residue.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao shook her head and said with a slight reproach: "Bi Xiao, your eating manner is not elegant at all."

Qiong Xiao on the side covered her mouth and giggled, looking at Bi Xiao's wolfing down appearance, and teased: "Our Bi Xiao, whenever she encounters something delicious or fun, she doesn't care about anything!"

Bi Xiao was immersed in the food and didn't care about the words of Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao.

"Big Sister, Second Sister, don't tease me anymore. With delicious food in front, how can you care about elegance? You should come over quickly, the junior's roasting craftsmanship is really good, I'm not lying to you."

Qiong Xiao looked at Yun Xiao on the side: "Big Sister, why don't we go and taste it too?"

Yun Xiao nodded, her face slightly reserved, and walked over with Qiong Xiao.

On the other side.

Kunlun back mountain.

Guangchengzi and a group of people were also enjoying the monster immortal meat and delicious delicacies on the table.

Suddenly, they felt uneasy, and all eight of them were like this.

"Fellow brothers, do you also suddenly feel uneasy, as if something has happened?"

Hearing Guangchengzi's words, the seven Golden Immortals looked at each other.

Perfected Lord Puxian said: "Senior Brother Guangchengzi, could it be that you are also like this?"

Guangchengzi nodded: "If it were just one person, it would be fine. The eight of us appearing uneasy at the same time must mean something big has happened."

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun's face was gloomy: "This inexplicable anxiety is coming fiercely, it is by no means ordinary."

Master Yuding looked serious, his eyes revealing doubt: "Could it be because we hunted the nameless disciples of the Jie Sect this time?"

Guangchengzi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Just eating a few monster immortals, it's impossible to have any influence on us. Why don't we perform deductions together to see where the anxiety in our hearts comes from."

"Okay."

Hearing the proposal, no one had any objections, and they began to deduce the anxiety in their hearts.

After a while, all eight immortals were furious, their veins bulging.

"What kind of petty person dares to harm my mount!"

The other seven immortals were just angry, only Huanglong was full of sadness.

As one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he didn't get any inheritance from Yuanshi except for the Jade Pure Immortal Method.

Not having magic treasures or disciples was one thing, but now he didn't even have his only mount.

Seeing Huanglong like this, the other seven immortals were full of contempt in their eyes.

Daoist Cihang looked contemptuous.

"Senior Brother Huanglong, don't lose face here. Isn't your mount just a crane? After punishing the petty person who stole the crane, I will compensate you with a crane."

Perfected Lord Huanglong was grateful when he heard this.

"Junior Brother Cihang, you must keep your word, remember it later."

He couldn't wait to come up and hug Daoist Cihang's thigh.

But thinking that Daoist Cihang's original body was a yin-yang lotus, which could transform between yin and yang at will, and had a cleanliness habit, not liking to be touched by others, he had to give up.

Daoxing Tianzun frowned, muttering to himself: "Don't you think it's too coincidental that our eight people's cranes all had accidents together?" ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
