Chapter 733: Tree Ancestor's Care
The Moon Laurel Xiangong acts cautiously and will not eat the demon rabbit on the grounds of dissection.
In any case, they have to wait until they figure out whether the demon rabbit meat is poisonous before eating it.
Seeing that the disciples of the Xiangong all volunteered to take on the task of dissecting the demon rabbit, washing the pot, cutting vegetables, boiling water... they were quite proficient, not like they were doing this kind of thing for the first time.
"Do you need a chef?" The Immortal Fairy felt it was time for her to show her hand, and volunteered to sign up to reproduce the immortal's craftsmanship.
It was impossible to let the Immortal Fairy cook. Barbecuing on the moon... in ancient times, the four immortals were poisoned and fainted, and were moved home by the fairy, causing the immortal fire to remain on the moon. The disciples of the Xiangong were all mortal bodies and definitely couldn't withstand this kind of immortal poison.
Saying it directly wouldn't work. Lu Yang was meticulous and his brain turned extremely fast. He soon thought about how to answer. As the saying goes, blocking is not as good as dredging. Refusing the Immortal Fairy's proposal might cause her rebellious psychology. The best way was to find a chef that satisfied the fairy.
And this chef had to be none other than himself.
"His Majesty is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can she do this kind of thing? Let the concubine... let me do it." Lu Yang had been reading novels in the Scripture Pavilion of the Xiangong when he had nothing to do recently, especially palace fighting novels. For a moment, his mouth didn't listen to him, and he almost said the wrong thing.
"That's fine." The Immortal Fairy felt that what Lu Yang said made sense. She was the emperor, and doing everything herself lowered her status. Letting Little Yangzi do it was also fine.
"Can I go barbecue later?" Lu Yang secretly transmitted his voice to Seeing Lan Ting.
Seeing Lan Ting had seen Lu Yang's craftsmanship in Yanjiang County. There was nothing to say, the taste was unique.
Now that Lu Yang had been promoted to the Spirit Transformation stage, his control over the heat and meat quality must have reached the "micro" realm, and the taste must be even better than before.
And she hadn't eaten Lu Yang's barbecue for a long time.
"I'll go talk to the senior sister in charge of the spoon."
"Then let him try. I want to see what skills he has!" The senior sister in charge of the spoon was unhappy when she heard this.
Having won the opportunity for Lu Yang to be a chef, Seeing Lan Ting happily reported the good news to Lu Yang.
"The senior sister in charge of the spoon agreed to let you try. She said she also wanted to see your skills, Senior Brother."
"Is that really what the senior sister said?" Lu Yang looked at Seeing Lan Ting suspiciously. Although he didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, looking at the senior sister's expression when Seeing Lan Ting went to communicate just now, it didn't look very good.
"It's about that meaning."
"That's good." Lu Yang thought his actions had offended the senior sister in charge of the spoon.
The Xiangong worked with high efficiency. While washing the pot, they had already figured out why the demon rabbit suddenly grew bigger.
"It's a reaction between the Beauty Pill and the osmanthus." Qin Nan summarized.
"The Beauty Pill originally has the effect of growing bigger, and the newly picked osmanthus doesn't know why it also has this effect. The two factors are superimposed, causing the demon rabbit's volume to soar."
"It also caused the demon rabbit to go crazy." A junior sister added, which was a very critical point.
"Ah, yes, it also caused the demon rabbit to go crazy."
"But the good news is that the demon rabbit has digested the medicinal properties, so it can be eaten, non-toxic and harmless, and the meat is healthy."
The demon rabbit being edible was good news, and he could show his skills, but Lu Yang had another question: "Why does the Beauty Pill have the effect of growing bigger?"
Didn't female cultivators take Beauty Pills to make themselves look good?
Asking such a question showed that Lu Yang was a layman, and the disciples of the Xiangong knew the answer.
Qin Nan explained: "It's like this. There are two types of pills that female cultivators often take: Beauty-Preserving Pill and Beauty-Nourishing Pill. The Beauty-Preserving Pill is to fix the appearance, and the Beauty-Nourishing Pill is to change the appearance."
"Changing the appearance is divided into two directions: getting bigger and getting smaller."
"Some female cultivators have good talent and fast cultivation speed, and they reach the beauty-preserving realm while still in their girlhood, and their appearance doesn't change."
"This also leads to a problem, that is, the body has not fully developed. At this time, the Beauty-Nourishing Pill is needed."
Lu Yang suddenly realized that this was a field he hadn't touched before, and there were indeed many ways.
"Taking pills is all crooked ways!" The Immortal Fairy disdained this kind of bad behavior.
As the head of the top ten beauties in ancient times, she was qualified to say such things.
It was a pity that her speech as the head of the top ten beauties in ancient times didn't get Lu Yang's attention. Lu Yang was humbly learning knowledge related to the Beauty-Nourishing Pill.
Although he didn't necessarily use it, learning a little more wouldn't hurt.
Lu Yang looked at the demon rabbit that had been bled and cut, and began to prepare the marinade.
To save time, Lu Yang chose to marinate quickly, which could quickly marinate and enter the taste.
"By the way, have you ever tried using Moon Laurel trees as
"Using the laurel tree as firewood?" Lan Ting was stunned for a moment; this was something she had never thought of before.
"Wait a moment, I'll go ask the Tree Ancestor. As long as it agrees, it'll be fine."
"The Laurel Tree Ancestor has consciousness?" Lu Yang was incredibly surprised; he had assumed the Laurel Tree Ancestor was just tall.
"It does have consciousness, though I've never seen it speak. I heard from Master that the Tree Ancestor is the most important trump card of our Xiangong."
Seeing that Lu Yang was interested, Lan Ting took him deep into the laurel forest again, where they met the Tree Ancestor, which was as tall as the heavens.
Lan Ting bowed three times to the Laurel Tree Ancestor, and after completing a whole set of complex rituals, she asked respectfully: "Disciple wishes to fell a laurel tree to use as firewood, and hopes the Tree Ancestor will grant this."
Swish, swish, swish.
The massive branches moved without wind, emitting a rustling sound.
Seeing this, Lan Ting raised her head excitedly: "The Tree Ancestor agreed!"
Lu Yang hadn't expected the Tree Ancestor to be so easy to talk to, so he also bowed three times to it.
Having received the Tree Ancestor's nod, the two began looking for a suitable laurel tree. Since a laurel tree needed to be felled in a single strike, it would be embarrassing if they chose one that was too thick, but it wouldn't be enough for firewood if they chose one that was too thin.
"This one is about right." Lu Yang patted a laurel tree beside him; it was about the thickness of a single embrace.
"Won't that be too thick?" Lan Ting asked herself if she could cut through a laurel tree that thick, and she knew she couldn't.
"We'll know once we try." Lu Yang pulled out his Azure Edge Sword and tapped the laurel tree. He had never cut down a laurel tree before; it was a brand-new experience.
Within the Azure Edge Sword, ten thousand swords returned to the sect. Lu Yang's gaze sharpened, his waist and stance unified, his right foot pushed against the ground, and he twisted his body, channeling all his strength into the Azure Edge Sword, and let out a loud shout!
"Slash!"
Crack!
With one strike, the Azure Edge Sword sank halfway into the tree trunk.
It didn't cut through.
Lu Yang scratched his head. He had wanted to show off in front of Lan Ting, but he had failed.
Just as he was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, Lan Ting pointed in surprise at the half-severed laurel tree.
"The laurel tree isn't healing!"
This was something that had never happened before!
Seeing this, Lu Yang swung his sword again!
Crack—Boom—
The laurel tree fell to the ground.
"That's strange, did I cut it too fast for the laurel tree to heal in time?" Lu Yang asked, carrying the laurel tree, puzzled.
The Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes. What "too fast to heal"? It was clearly the Laurel Tree Ancestor deliberately controlling this laurel tree to prevent it from healing.
"It's quite protective of little Yangzi."
