The dragon qilin dived into the lake and stirred up waves. On the lake, the Daoist immediately hurried over with a horsetail whisk in his hand. Shaking it towards the lake, the numerous threads scattered down like a giant fishing net, trying to catch that dragon qilin in the lake.”
Rumble.
The surface of the lake trembled violently and the Daoist gave a grunt. Only the handle of his horsetail whisk was left and he knew he wasn't a match for this dragon qilin thus he immediately turned and ran while shouting, ”Demon, you guys dare to bathe in the Jade Dragon Lake of the royal family and even dared to beat me, just you wait to be executed!”
Not long later, the scholars of Imperial College walked out from Hall of Pure Yang and towards Scholar's Residence. Today, it was Daoist Ling Yun teaching and what Hall of Pure Yang taught was the path of cultivating qi. Daoist Ling Yun was widely known for his profound cultivation, cultivating his qi into the level of pure yang.
Before the numerous scholars could even return to Scholar's Residence, they all stopped and looked back in astonishment, freezing on the spot.
They only saw a ridiculously huge red fish flying through the air. There were red scales on the body of the red fish and on its head were dragons horns. This was because after absorbing the qi of the nine dragons here for many years, the fish head had started to turn into a dragon. It was like a half fish half dragon that had a mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth, looking extremely fierce.
However, now this huge fish was being restrained by a few vital qi and couldn't move at all. A demon wind was carrying this huge fish towards Scholar's Residence, causing all the scholars to be dumbfounded.
Behind this huge fish was an even larger dragon qilin that was running and shaking off the water on his body at the same time. There was also a white colored fox that was standing on the head on the dragon qilin, raising demon wind to carry the huge fish.
That dragon qilin rushed into Scholar's Residence and threw the huge fish into the courtyard of Academician Qin with a thump. The little fox then scampered into the courtyard and shut the doors.
A scholar muttered, ”That fish, seems to be one of the fish kings in Jade Dragon Lake. It's called Red Dragon Carp and it's an imperial cuisine that the emperor treats the civil and military officials during the new year feast…”
A scholar beside was also in a daze as he muttered, ”Last year, my old father was indebted to the emperor's benevolence and had a taste of the fish soup on the imperial dragon feast. He came back exclaiming endlessly and even kept telling me it was a worldly delicacy until now… However, that Red Dragon Carp was only a foot long. This one…”
Before the other scholars came around to their senses, they saw the door to Qin Mu's room opening up again. This white fox scampered out again and looked around before running to a mulberry tree. She then spat out a demon wind and chopped down the mulberry tree. She then controlled the demon wind to turn into curved blades to chop the mulberry tree into firewood before bringing them back into the courtyard.
The little fox took a few trips and even carried the trunk of the tree back into the courtyard. Billowing smoke then came surging out from Qin Mu's courtyard. It was obvious that the little fox and the dragon qilin was currently raising a fire to roast the fish.
The scholars looked at one another and Qu Ting muttered, ”That's the Ambition Tree planted by Monk Qing Shan, the directorate of Hall of Azure Yang. It's a tree planted to motivate scholars to seek knowledge…”
Not long after, the delicious fragrance spread throughout Scholar's Residence.
Saliva started flowing out from all of the scholars' mouth. The fox and dragon qilin this abandoned person had brought over, killed the fish king in the drinking grounds of the royal family before chopping down the Ambition Tree that Monk Qing Shan planted to use it to raise fire for roasting the fish?
This act of recklessness, are they trying to rebel?
”Young master, how's the taste?”
The youth and the fox's conversation came over from Qin Mu's courtyard and they heard Qin Mu saying, ”Still okay, it's just that it wasn't marinated thus the flavor wasn't soaked through. It's best to marinate a fish for a whole day so it would be crisp, fragrant and tender when you eat it. This fish is pretty huge, where did you get it from?”
”From the lake.”
”So I see. I once fished with Grand Chancellor beside the lake and saw a few huge red fish; however, we only caught a Nine Dragon Carp which was quite small. However, the flavor of the soup was very delicious. It's pretty good of you to use mulberry wood to roast the fish, it gives off sweet and sour fruity taste of the mulberry.”
…
All the scholars in Scholar's Residence had an expression of rejoice in his upcoming misfortune. Qu Ting snickered, ”Academician Qin is dead meat!”
In the courtyard, Qin Mu prodded the thick wooden skewer to rotate the Red Dragon Carp and below was a vigorous flame which was the mulberry flames controlled by the dragon qilin, roasting the huge fish tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
The dragon qilin controlled the fire to let the heat seep into the meat and bones of the huge fish. The mulberry wood gave off water vapor thus there was a smoky flavor. Hu Ling'er then controlled the wind to let some of the smoky flavors enter the meat of the fish.
They then stuffed numerous mulberry leaves, onions, and ginger into the stomach of the fish. In the stomach of the fish was tender fish oil which sizzled when it dripped onto the fire as they roasted the fish. The fish oil gave off a smoky smell when burned, raising their appetite hugely.
When the entire fish was cooked, Hu Ling'er immediately controlled her wind blades to slice off the meat from the fish belly. The meat here was the plumpest.
Her knife work was very good as each slice of fish was precise. At the same time, she also controlled the plate to let the slices of fish fall onto the plate. Each slice of fish was crystal clear and the slices looked like pieces of tender jade white fat from mutton.
Qin Mu suppressed the fire and lowered the intensity of the fire. The human, the fox, and the dragon qilin sat beside the bonfire and ate the roasted fish.
Qin Mu's heart slightly moved when he remembered a weird technique in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures which was called Spirit Returning Pill Great Supplement Technique. He immediately executed his vital qi to circulate this technique to speed up his digestion. Soon his stomach became empty thus his mouth continued with eating the roasted fish around the bonfire.
The name of this technique was weird and the technique itself was even weirder.
The main method of cultivation for Spirit Returning Pill Great Supplement Technique relied mainly on eating.
