Ling Huan Dan Great Tonic

Chapter 179: Ling Huan Dan Great Replenishment

The dragon unicorn dived into the lake, causing a lot of trouble. On the surface of the lake, the Taoist hurried over with a whisk in his hand. He shook it towards the bottom of the lake, and countless dust threads were scattered towards the lake like a huge fishing net, trying to catch the dragon unicorn in the lake.

Boom.

The lake surface shook violently, and the Taoist groaned. The whisk in his hand exploded, leaving only the handle. Knowing that he was no match for the dragon unicorn, he quickly ran away, shouting, "Evil monster, you are bathing in the royal Yulong Lake, and you dare to hit me? Prepare to be beheaded!"

Not long after, the scholars of Taixue Academy walked out of Chunyang Hall and headed towards the Scholars' Residence. Today, Taoist Lingyun from Chunyang Hall was giving a lecture. What Chunyang Hall taught was the way of practicing Qi. Taoist Lingyun was famous for his profound cultivation and he had refined his vital energy to the level of Chunyang.

Many scholars, who had not yet returned to the Scholars' Residence, suddenly stopped, looked back in surprise, and froze on the spot.

I saw an incredibly large red fish flying from the sky. The red fish had red scales on its body and dragon horns on its head. As it had absorbed the Nine Dragon Qi here for many years, the fish head had become somewhat dragon-like, like half fish and half dragon, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and was extremely ferocious.

However, at this moment, the big fish was bound by several vital energies and could not move. A gust of evil wind carried the big fish and headed straight for the Scholars' Residence, leaving many scholars staring in amazement.

Behind the big fish there is an even bigger dragon unicorn, which is running and shaking off the water on its body. There is also a white fox standing on the dragon unicorn's forehead, stirring up a magic wind to lift up the big fish.

The dragon unicorn rushed into the scholar's residence with the fox, and then threw the big fish into Dr. Qin's yard with a thud. The little fox slid into the yard and closed the door.

A scholar murmured, "That fish seems to be one of the king fish in Yulong Lake, called Red Dragon Carp. It is the imperial dish that the emperor prepares for the New Year banquet for his civil and military officials..."

A scholar nearby also looked dazed, muttering, "My father was able to taste the fish soup at the Imperial Dragon Banquet last year, thanks to the emperor's kindness. He praised it highly and still tells me from time to time that it is a delicacy... But that red dragon carp was only about a foot long. This one..."

Before the other scholars could come to their senses, they saw Qin Mu's door opened again, and the white fox slipped out again, looked around, then ran to a mulberry tree, spit out a magical wind, and chopped the mulberry tree to the ground. The magical wind turned into curved swords, chopped the mulberry tree into firewood, and then sent it back to the yard.

The little fox went back and forth several times and moved the tree trunk back into the yard. Then thick smoke billowed in Qin Mu's yard. It was obvious that the little fox and the dragon unicorn were making a fire and roasting fish.

Many scholars looked at each other in bewilderment. Qu Ting murmured, "That is the Imperial College of Qingyang Palace. It is the tree of progress planted by the Qingshan Master. It is a tree planted to encourage scholars to study and make progress..."

Before long, the delicious aroma filled the Scholars' Residence.

Many scholars drooled and looked at each other in bewilderment. The fox and the dragon unicorn brought by this abandoned people from Daxu killed the fish king of Yulong Lake, the royal drinking water place, and cut down the prosperous trees planted by people on the green hills, and then made a fire to roast fish?

He is so reckless, is he planning a rebellion?

"Sir, how does it taste?"

The conversation between the young man and the fox could be heard from Qin Mu's yard. Qin Mu's voice was heard saying, "It's OK, but it's not marinated well, so it's not very tasty. Fish meat should be marinated for a day and a night, so that it will be crispy, fragrant and tender when eaten. This fish is so big, where did it come from?"

"From the lake."

"I see. I once went fishing with the chief priest at the lake and saw a few big red fish, but I only caught a small crucian carp. It was very small, but it tasted very delicious when it was hot. You grilled the fish with mulberry wood very well, and it has a sweet and sour fruity aroma of mulberries."

…

All the scholars in the Scholars' Residence had expressions of gloating. Qu Ting laughed softly and said, "Dr. Qin is dead!"

In the yard, Qin Mu moved a thick wooden stake to rotate the red dragon carp. There was a raging flame underneath. The temperature of the mulberry wood flame was controlled by Long Qilin, and the big fish was roasted until it was tender inside and charred outside.

Long Qilin controlled the fire, allowing the fire to penetrate into the flesh and bones of the big fish. The mulberry wood was green mulberry, which carried moisture, so there was some smoky smell. Fox Ling'er controlled the wind, allowing some of the smoke to penetrate into the fish meat.

They also stuffed a lot of mulberry leaves, onions and ginger into the fish's belly, which was full of tender fish oil. As it was roasted, the fish oil sizzled and dripped into the fire. The smell of the burning fish oil was very appetizing.

When the whole fish was cooked, Hu Ling'er immediately controlled the wind blade scimitar to cut off the fish meat on the belly, where the fish meat was the most delicious.

She has excellent knife skills and cuts each piece of fish to perfection. At the same time, she controls the plate so that each piece of fish falls on the plate. Each piece of fish is crystal clear, like a piece of soft and elastic white jade.

Qin Mu pressed the fire to make it smaller, and then a man, a fox, and a dragon, Qilin, sat by the fire and ate grilled fish.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he remembered a strange martial art called Ling Huan Dan Da Bu Gong in the Dayu Tianmo Sutra. He immediately activated his vital energy and practiced this martial art to speed up digestion. Soon his stomach was empty again, and then he continued to eat the grilled fish around the campfire without stopping.

The name of this technique is weird, and the technique is even weirder.

The practice of Ling Huan Dan Da Bu Gong mainly relies on eating.

This technique can transform what you eat into body energy or vitality, strengthening your body and bones and improving your cultivation, hence it is called Ling Huan Dan Da Bu Gong.

Qin Mu is weak now and needs to make up for the physical consumption during this period. Now there is an incredibly large grilled fish in front of him, and he can use this technique to nourish his body.

After all, this fish is an alien species. It has lived in Tai Academy all year round and absorbed the energy of the Nine Dragons. Firstly, it tastes delicious, and secondly, its blood and flesh are nutritious. Qin Mu's body is in poor condition right now, so he activated this strange technique. He felt that the food he ate quickly turned into nutrients and was absorbed by his limbs.

His shriveled muscles were also slowly swelling up. Although it was growing very slowly, Qin Mu estimated that his muscles would grow back after eating this two or three meter long fish.

Hu Ling'er really couldn't eat any more. Long Qilin was used to eating Red Fire Spirit Pills, so fish was not to his taste. He stopped eating after a few bites. Only Qin Mu was still sitting there and eating with relish.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hu Ling'er ran to open the door with her bulging belly. Wei Yong walked in, sniffing and smiling, "It's lunch time. I smelled the fragrance coming from Brother Qin's place, so I came to ask for a meal... Hey, is the stone dragon lion at the mountain gate alive? Little fox, how come you are fatter than me?"

Hu Ling'er snorted.

Wei Yong was even more shocked when he saw Qin Mu sitting by the fire. He cried out, "Little fox, did you take Brother Qin's essence? How come he is so thin?"

Hu Ling'er was angry and anxious: "We haven't picked it yet, don't talk nonsense!"

"If you didn't pick them, then who picked them?"

Wei Yong wondered, "I knew there was something wrong when Brother Qin asked where the brothel was as soon as he entered the city. Is he really too weak to handle it?"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he asked him to sit down.

Wei Yong didn't bother to be polite with him. He tore off a large piece of fish meat and tasted it. It was so smooth that his tongue almost slipped into his stomach. He couldn't help but be surprised and happy. He exclaimed in admiration and said in a muffled voice: "You haven't attended lectures in the past few months. Several people in the Imperial College are a little unhappy. They say that the doctor of the Imperial College is unlearned and incompetent, and the emperor shouldn't promote you. By the way, what's wrong with you? Why have you become so thin?"

"Something went wrong during my training and I nearly lost my life."

Qin Mu said: "Fortunately, we found it in time and are now making up for it."

Wei Yong smiled and said, "You are so brave that you dare to practice martial arts recklessly. I am now a scholar of the Imperial Academy and have a certain status in the Duke's Mansion. What elixir do you need? I will go to the Duke's Mansion to get it and replenish your body."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Once I finish eating this fish, my body will recover and I won't need to take the elixir anymore."

"Do you know? Bashan Jijiu and Gu Da Jijiu had a fight. They were so bloody outside the capital that even the emperor was alarmed."

Wei Yong burped and said, "My old man went to mediate the fight, and other first-rank officials also went to mediate, and only then did they calm down. I just went out to inquire, and it was said that the emperor called them all over and scolded them severely. After I inquired about the news, I came back to you to get a meal. Before you came back, Bashan Jiji found me and said that he would take me out to gain experience. I guess..."

"Brother Wei, don't talk while eating."

Not long after, the fat boy Wei Yong became even rounder and couldn't eat any more. However, he saw Qin Mu still eating meat in big mouthfuls. When the pieces of fish meat entered his stomach, his stomach did not bulge at all.

Wei Yong was surprised, and then he saw that Qin Mu's skinny body suddenly swelled up as if it were inflated, and all he could feel was muscle when he pinched it. He couldn't help but be even more surprised.

After eating the big fish, only a huge fish bone more than three meters long was left. Qin Mu's body recovered as before and seemed to be even stronger than before, which made Wei Yong envious.

"Where did you buy such delicious fish?"

Wei Yong was greedy and wanted to eat more, but he couldn't finish it. He asked, "I have never seen such a big fish in the vegetable market in the capital, nor have I eaten such delicious fish. I must buy a few to cook for myself!"

Qin Mu said casually: "Fished it out from Yulong Lake."

Wei Yong's eyes widened and he asked quickly, "Which Yulong Lake?"

"The one from our Tai College."

Wei Yong shuddered and asked in a trembling voice, "The Yulong Lake in our Imperial College? Is this fish one of the king fish in Yulong Lake?"

Qin Mu looked at Hu Ling'er, who nodded and said, "I'll ask Long Da to pick a big one and catch it. The one he caught is the biggest one."

Wei Yong's face turned pale. He glanced at the scattered mulberry leaves and branches all over the yard and said in a trembling voice, "Just now I saw that only a wooden stump was left of the Progress Tree in the Scholar's Residence. Could it be that..."

"That big mulberry tree is called the Progress Tree?"

Hu Ling'er was surprised and asked, "Trees have names?"

Wei Yong's face turned pale, and he walked out tremblingly, saying in a daze: "Cut down the Shangjin tree, and use it to roast the fish king of Yulong Lake. Even if there are several heads, they are not enough for the emperor to chop off. I have never been here, never been here..."
