I Want Dragon Demon Blood
A treasure trove of scallions, aged to a very high standard?
Is there even a need to think about it? It's obviously Onion Lady.
Speaking of Onion Lady, he almost died from overeating after eating her onion tips last time.
Even more terrifying, he also "Dream Entry" the memories of Onion Lady in his dream, and became an onion for hundreds of years, swaying in the wind... Whenever he thinks of that terrible dream, he feels like he has no will to live.
Moreover, fortunately, the Daoist Cloudmist of the "Empty Thieves' Sect" was nearby at the time, and used his "Empty-Handed Sleight" to steal the scallion tip from the Onion Lady's body, turning it into an "Onion Spirit Crystal".
That thing is still in his Inch-Shrinking Bag.
Therefore, Song Shuhang nodded and said, "This junior has indeed consumed onion-based treasures."
Fairy Bie Xue: "No wonder you smell so strongly of scallions."
Song Shuhang: "..."
[No, @#%×Fairy, you must have misunderstood! The scallion scent on my body didn't come from eating Onion Lady. It's because when I was thrown into the Golden Coffin for a medicinal bath, Onion Lady's body dissolved in the bath liquid... and then, I was boiled into having the scallion scent on my body.] Song Shuhang thought to himself.
However, this is a painful memory, so let's not dwell on it.
Yu Jiaojiao, perched on Song Shuhang's shoulder, chuckled Yu Jiaojiao. She knew the story of "Scallion-Oil Song Shuhang."
"By the way, young fellow Daoist, are there any remnants of the onion-like treasure you consumed?" Fairy Bie Xue inquired again.
"There's still some left," Song Shuhang. The Onion Spirit Crystal was the remnant. Also... the Onion Lady has grown a new scallion tip.
Well, of course, he wouldn't pinch the tip of Onion Lady's scallion, after all, Onion Lady is a wise fairy who can take human form.
"Really?" Fairy Bie Xue asked casually—her main purpose was to chat with Song Shuhang more, and once they were familiar with each other, she could follow the clues to find out about Venerable White.
Unexpectedly, Song Shuhang actually had some leftover scallion treasures that were quite old. For an Immortal Chef, there's never too much aged seasoning.
So, the Fairy asked, "Young friend, do you have any plans to trade those scallions?"
"Ah, of course you can. I have no use for it anyway... but it looks a bit strange," Song Shuhang said.
As he spoke, he reached into his robes and took out the emerald green crystal from his 'Inch-Shrinking Bag', then handed it to Fairy Bie Xue.
"Why is it crystalline?" Fairy Bie Xue took the crystal and examined it.
That's right, this is a giant scallion that has been imbued with spiritual power for about three or four hundred years, and it's so big that it's almost entirely melted down. If she gets this crystal, she can process it in various ways and make enough seasoning to last her for several years!
Thinking of this, Fairy Bie Xue smiled and looked at Song Shuhang: "Young friend, is there anything you want?"
Out of respect for Venerable White, she would try her best to satisfy Song Shuhang.
"What do you want?" Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and said, "I really want something lately, but I don't know its value, and I have no idea what it is."
"Tell me your price, and I'll give you an estimate," Fairy Bie Xue said with a smile.
"It's the Dragon Demon Blood," Song Shuhang replied. For him, his physique was a major problem, and currently, only the 'Dragon Demon Potion' made with the Dragon Demon Blood could quickly resolve this hidden danger.
"Dragon Demon Blood? Why would you want that?" Fairy Bie Xue looked Song Shuhang up and down curiously, then smiled gently.
No wonder. Although the young man in front of him has a very strong physique for Second-Grade cultivator, his internal energy is surging, and there is a faint bronze light emanating from between his eyebrows, which is a symbol of the spiritual power of Third-Grade Cultivator.
Although his physique was strong, his mental strength and internal energy were even stronger. In order to maintain balance, he had no choice but to desperately search for ways to improve his physique.
As for improving physical fitness and 'Dragon Demon Blood', that's the only thing left!
"You want to concoct Dragon Demon Potion?" Fairy Bie Xue asked with a smile.
"Yes," Song Shuhang nodded. There was no point in hiding it; experienced cultivators could tell his current state at a glance.
Fairy Bie Xue shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have any Dragon Demon Blood either. Moreover... the value of Dragon Demon Blood is far greater than that of this scallion crystal."
The value difference between the two is more than a hundredfold, and the Dragon Demon Blood is extremely rare. Recently, there hasn't been a single sighting of a 'Dragon Demon'. This value gap may widen even further.
Song Shuhang sighed and nodded. However, he wasn't too disappointed, because this result was within his expectations.
At this moment, Fairy Bie Xue said again, "Although I don't have the Dragon Demon Blood, I've thought of a great deal—I'll make you a 'Immortal Delicacy.' Although the effect won't be as powerful as the Dragon Demon Potion, I estimate it can at least raise your current physique to the limit of 'Second-Grade.'"
The Immortal Delicacy, crafted by the Immortal Chef, possess a variety of powerful effects.
However, the effects of Immortal Delicacy prepared by ordinary Immortal Chef are limited.
The Immortal Delicacy from the Immortal Chef at the Venerable Seven Cultivations's residence could only enhance Song Shuhang's ability to "cultivate the Vajra Foundation Fist once".
Of course, it was also because the Immortal Chef at Venerable Seven Cultivations's residence did not use all their methods, after all, it was just a casual home-cooked meal.
The masked woman in front of him actually offered to raise Song Shuhang's physique by two to three minor realms with just one sentence!
Just who is this @#%×Fairy?
When Song Shuhang thought about this, he realized how rude he had been... From the moment they met until now, he still didn't know the masked woman's name, nor had he introduced himself.
So he added a self-introduction, "@#%×Fairy, my name is Song Shuhang. What is your @#%×Fairy name?"
"Everyone calls me Bie Xue, so you can call me that too... We Immortal Chef are different from ordinary cultivators, so we haven't had any formal Daoist names," Fairy Bie Xue replied with a smile.
"Fairy Bie Xue? Shuhang felt that name sounded familiar."
Wait, Fairy Bie Xue?
"Immortal Chef Banquet?!" Song Shuhang blurted out instinctively.
"You've heard of the Immortal Chef Banquet, oh... that's right." Fairy Bie Xue said softly. This young man had a good relationship with Venerable White, so perhaps he had heard about the Immortal Chef Banquet from Venerable White.
"Yes, I heard from a senior that your Immortal Chef Banquet Fairy extremely difficult to attend. Many seniors I know are trying to find ways to get a chance to Immortal Chef Banquet," Song Shuhang.
Unexpectedly, before Senior Su Clan’s Seven even took him to the Immortal Chef Banquet, he had already encountered Fairy Bie Xue. What a coincidence!
But do all the accomplished people these days have unusual hobbies?
Immortal Chef Banquet Fairy Bie Xue Feast is renowned throughout the Cultivation World. Countless people fight tooth and nail for a seat at the banquet. Because each Immortal Chef Banquet is an opportunity—it can improve one's physique and strength, and with good luck, some can even break through a minor cultivation realm simply by eating at one of the banquets.
But who would have thought that the incredibly powerful Fairy Bie Xue would end up quietly selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) at a fish head restaurant in the Jiangnan Region?
When Fairy Bie Xue heard Song Shuhang's words, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
In her mind, Song Shuhang's words must have been spoken to him by Venerable White. So, this must be Venerable White's assessment of her?
So she was very happy to hear that.
People tend to be very generous when they are in a good mood.
"How about it, want to make a deal with me?" Fairy Bie Xue asked with a smile—in a very good mood, she had already prepared a sumptuous feast of Immortal Delicacy delicacies for Song Shuhang.
"Deal!" Song Shuhang nodded.
The Onion Spirit Crystal was useless to him. If he could raise his physique to the Second-Grade Peak, it would greatly alleviate the pain between his eyebrows.
Moreover, if his physique reaches the Second-Grade Pinnacle, he can safely devour 'Spirit Beast Crystal' and strive to push his realm to the 'Third-Grade' realm as soon as possible.
"Deal." Fairy Bie Xue was delighted. "Then, young friend, leave me an address. I'll prepare the ingredients for you now... I'll prepare Immortal Treasure Banquet for you tomorrow, how about that?"
She traveled light this time, carrying few ingredients and insufficient tools. Preparing the Immortal Delicacy for Song Shuhang would require some time.
"No problem, senior." Song Shuhang once again left the address of Yu Jiaojiao's big villa with Fairy Bie Xue.
Both parties completed a pleasant transaction.
Fairy Bie Xue obtained the Onion Spirit Crystal and successfully established a relationship with Song Shuhang —tomorrow, during the Immortal Treasure Banquet, she could use the opportunity to get information about Venerable White from Song Shuhang!
Song Shuhang was satisfied with the opportunity to strengthen his physique.
Yu Jiaojiao was also very happy, because she could naturally freeload off the food then.
Overall, this was a win-win deal.
At this moment, Onion Lady, who was inside Song Shuhang's Inch-Shrinking Bag, breathed a long sigh of relief—ever since she encountered Fairy Bie Xue, her heart had been in her throat.
She thought that the 'remnant of a 300-year-old scallion' that Song Shuhang mentioned was referring to her— Onion Lady thought that the scallion tip she had finally managed to grow back was going to be pinched off again!
But now, we've escaped unscathed.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Onion Lady's heart became conflicted again.
"No, I can't keep going like this. This time, that 'crystal' took the blame for me, but what about next time? If we need to exchange scallions for something again, will Shuhang pinch off the tips of my scallions to do it?"
Onion Lady became increasingly worried.
I guess I should just run away!
This time, Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost is not here. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will definitely be able to escape successfully!
******************************
On the other side.
Following the tracking spell, Daoist Horizon finally found Yu Jiaojiao's villa.
"That's it, this is the place!" Daoist Horizon thought to himself.
However, the young man doesn't seem to have returned yet. Should I wait at the door?
As he was pondering, a figure emerged from the villa. It was a young man wearing glasses. He was holding a notebook in his hand, seemingly deep in thought about something.
"It involves fantasy and martial arts, but I've never written a fantasy and martial arts novel before. Just setting up the world is already a lot of trouble," the young man thought to himself.
This young man Gao Moumou, who had finally escaped from the dark room and could now go out and see the sunlight.
