I slay demons and cook in the world of cultivating immortals

"It turns out that seniors traveled here. There is a Donglai Inn all the way ahead. This is the only inn on the island. If seniors need accommodation, they can go to that inn."

The little girl at the wharf is called Ling'er, and she specializes in taking customers to the Jinzhu shop to earn money for running errands.

Donglai Island is the largest place for selling gold beads in the East China Sea.

Many monks from foreign lands will go to Donglai Island to buy gold beads when they come to the East China Sea.

When Shen Qinglan first came to Mingyue City Wharf, the seven-pattern gold beads that the liar wanted to sell came from here.

Shen Qinglan saw that the little girl was cute and polite, so she took out a few spirit stones and handed them over.

"I heard that the pearl fishing boats on Donglai Island are very famous?"

Ling'er happily took the Lingshi, "Senior, do you want to go pearl hunting?"

"I want to get to know each other."

Ling'er nodded and replied, "It is true that many monks will come to Donglai Island to fish for pearls, but in fact, all good pearl-fishing spots have their own owners. If there is no senior with you, it is better not to go into the water rashly alone."

The little girl looked around, and then said in a low voice, "Those foreign pearl divers, after a lot of them go down, they won't be able to come up."

Shen Qinglan was a little surprised. She said it casually. She also heard about the pearl fishing boat by accident. She didn't expect that there were quite a lot of twists and turns.

But the little girl had good intentions, "Okay, thank you, I understand."

Ling'er scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "Donglai Island is very small, many things are decided by the Wuji Sect, and the trading of gold beads is not so free. There used to be people who sold beads at the pier, and..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Shen Qinglan already understood what it meant.

The Promise Gate should have a huge influence on Donglai Island.

She and Ling'er had reached a corner at this time, and she began to inquire about the news about the Promise Gate.

"Miss Ling'er, are these pearl fishing boats also from the Wuji Sect?"

"Most of them are, and there are also some small families, but their pearl hunting will be farther away from Donglai Island. Just now, the two are pearl hunters who came to Sanxiu or other small families to sell pearls on Donglai Island."

Ling'er had a good impression of the generous and good-looking Shen Qinglan, and answered her questions with all her heart.

"Senior, if you really want to experience pearl fishing, there will be a pearl fishing boat from Wujimen every three days, but you need to pay Lingshi."

This is somewhat similar to the monster hunting ship at the Mingyue City Wharf, where spirit stones are handed over to board the ship, and the harvest belongs to the cultivator himself.

When encountering a big demon ship, there will be high-ranking monks to take action.

She was afraid that Shen Qinglan would go into the water alone, "Senior, don't go digging gold beads alone."

Shen Qinglan knew that the little girl had good intentions, "Okay, when will the next pearl-fishing boat for casual practice set off?"

"Early in the morning."

Shen Qinglan got the news she wanted, and gave the little girl a roasted rabbit, "Exclusive secret recipe."

The little girl Ling'er looked stupid. After two years of running errands at the pier, it was the first time someone gave Lingshi back to eat.

But the little girl's cleverness was born, and she quickly took the rabbit to thank, "Thank you, senior."

The two separated, Shen Qinglan went straight to Donglai Inn, she was going to stay in Donglai Island for a few days.

She couldn't directly inquire about the Wuji Gate, so she planned to go out on the pearl fishing boat of the Wuji Gate to see if she could get any clues.

The wooden sign of the Promise Gate is in her hand, she must know what it is.

Anyway, she was out to travel, and apart from saving her life, it didn't matter to Shen Qinglan where she traveled.

Because there is still time, she plans to use these two days to see what suitable ingredients are available on Donglai Island.

I heard that many islands in the East China Sea have different specialties, which is very attractive.

On the second day, she saw a restaurant with a good business on the island.

This restaurant only sells one kind of food, big squid in marinated water.

In addition to the common qi refining monks, there are also many foundation building and golden core monks appearing.

Good business must have good taste. As a standard foodie, how could Shen Qinglan miss it.

Apart from anything else, I found a corner seat and sat down, and ordered a large brine squid.

These big squids are all extremely huge, at least a few dozen catties in weight, and the largest one looks like a hundred catties.

She scanned with consciousness, and found that the stewed squid pot in the backyard was about the same size as her three-air shield in its maximum form.

Ordinary people can't grasp it at all, and only monks can stir it by using aura.

A large marinated squid was placed on a counter in the lobby, and the waiters in the waiting room were very busy, cutting these into large portions and serving them up.

There are also monks who are very forthright, "Five here."

Shen Qinglan clicked her tongue, five hundred catties, is this half a year's purchase volume?

The generous monk should be a frequent visitor, and the envoy skillfully collected the spirit stone, and handed him a large tray containing a whole giant squid, and the monk handed back the empty tray after changing hands.

It wasn't until the fifth one that the monk tore off one leg of the big squid and gnawed it up, and put the rest into a storage bag.

Looking at him like that, one can't help but feel that the taste must be good.

When Shen Qinglan's meal came to the table, she also chose the very tempting squid leg to take a bite first.

Well, it's very fresh and tender, completely different from the hard taste she thought it would be.

In addition to being fresh and tender, it is also somewhat springy and has a touch of sweetness.

Except for some impurities in the meat, the taste is really amazing.

good to eat!

This is the best squid that Shen Qinglan has eaten in two lifetimes.

Several ingredients and the taste of giant squid are mixed together to create a wonderful taste.

She couldn't help feeling the magic of cooking. When several ordinary things are combined together, such delicious food will come out.

Every excellent cook must have a good tongue with a keen sense of taste, and Shen Qinglan is no exception.

She tasted it carefully and began to write down the taste of the food.

Added red jade fruit and Tianyang grass, is the faint sweetness honey or licorice?

This is a very sweet taste, it should be licorice.

There is also a strange taste, which should be a unique ingredient in the East China Sea.

Alright, remember first, sooner or later it will be more delicious.

This is the chef's desire to win!

Shen Qinglan stretched out her hand to greet the messenger, "There are three more."

"Okay!" Probably there are often foodies in the store to pack, and the store is not surprised that Shen Qinglan bought two hundred catties of squid in one go.

"Friend Daoist Shen!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Shen Qinglan paused for a moment before letting go of her raised hand.

This East China Sea is really small!
The cheeky monk named Wukong, the one who ate her and gave her a few red brocade snowfish, happened to enter the door at this time.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard that Shen Qinglan had ordered three big squids.

The monk was very happy to meet an acquaintance, and when Shen Qinglan sat down, he smiled and said, "Friend Shen, what a coincidence."

Shen Qinglan greeted with a smile, "Master Wukong."

The monk waved his hands again and again, "It's too unfamiliar to be called a master, you can call me Wukong or just a monk."

Shen Qinglan didn't want to call him Wukong, she sounded like a dull monk who talked a lot and could chant mantras.

"Monk, didn't you go to Wangyue Island?"

The monk rubbed his bald head, "It's still early to go to Wangyue Island, I went around all the islands, and I heard that there is a restaurant here that tastes good with big brine squid, so why don't you come here? I didn't expect you and Shen Daoyou to be on the same path."

"I also wandered around to see what good ingredients are available. I happened to see this restaurant. It tastes really good."

At this time, the monk had already picked up the big squid on Shen Qinglan's table and ate it, "Well, it's not bad, it's fresh and tender!"

Shen Qinglan also agrees with this point, "The taste is really good."

The monk smacked his lips, "Red jade fruit, green water vine, what else?"

Shen Qinglan was a little surprised that the monk's taste sensitivity was so strong, but she still said truthfully, "It should be Tianyang grass and Licorice grass."

The monk showed your powerful eyes, "As expected of you."

Shen Qinglan also asked, "What is the clear water vine?"

"You haven't picked gold beads, have you?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No."

"When you have the opportunity to pick golden beads, you will know. This clear water vine is the favorite spiritual plant of the golden pearl clam. Where there are clear water vines, there must be golden pearl clams."

"I see, I have never eaten this clear water vine."

Upon hearing this, the monk asked, "So Fellow Daoist Shen is going to pick gold beads?"

Shen Qinglan pointed to the big squid in brine on the table, "I'm going to have a look for this clear water vine."

The monk was amused by her, "Same as my senior brother, but unfortunately his tongue is not as good as yours, and I often force the little monk to help him."

When he said this, he had a painful expression on his face, it seemed that he was often tortured by his senior brother.

The monk's tongue is really good, and he can taste the taste of various ingredients for the first time.

"Tomorrow, the little monk also intends to pick gold beads to play, fellow Taoist Shen?" The monk extended an invitation to Shen Qinglan.

"Have you ever picked gold beads?"

The monk shook his head, "I've been hearing people say that today is the first time I've been to Donglai Island."

Shen Qinglan agreed after thinking about it, and the two made an appointment to meet at the pier.
-
Finally came the day of picking gold beads.

In order to get more useful information, Shen Qinglan arrived at the pier early.

"Senior, are you going to pick gold beads?" Ling'er saw her and ran over to say hello.

After eating the food made by Shen Qinglan, Ling'er liked her even more.

Shen Qinglan also likes this little girl with two dimples, "Yes, come and see for yourself."

Ling'er nodded frequently, "My eldest brother is going to board the boat today, let him tell senior about pearl hunting? He has many years of pearl hunting and is very experienced."

Shen Qinglan originally planned to find someone to ask if there is anything to pay attention to when picking pearls today. Since Brother Ling'er has experience, it's okay to ask him.

She took out a few spirit stones and handed them to Linger, "Then please tell me about it, brother."

Unexpectedly, the little girl waved her hands repeatedly when she saw the Lingshi, "No spirit stone, no spirit stone. It's just a few words, seniors, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for business."

Shen Qinglan didn't force her, and took the Lingshi with a smile, "Thank you very much."

The little girl was thanked earnestly, and she was very happy in her heart. She felt that this elder sister was not only good-looking, but also generous.

He didn't despise himself just because he was a little friar at the dock.

"Brother." The little girl turned around and shouted to the crowd.

In the crowd, a young monk with a dark complexion in the late stage of Qi refining ran over, "What's the matter?"

It looked like he had been in and out of the sea all year round, and was tanned brightly.

The little girl introduced Shen Qinglan to her, "It's the first time this senior went to the sea to collect gold beads, please explain carefully."

It was probably not the first time for the young man to do this kind of thing, so he agreed naturally, and began to tell Shen Qinglan how to find the golden pearl oyster.

"Golden pearl mussels should not be put into storage bags. It is best for seniors to tie an ordinary cloth bag around the waist. Bring the golden pearl mussels to the boat and then retrieve the pearls. Then throw the golden pearl mussels back into the sea. After many years, new ones will be born. Golden Pearl."

Shen Qinglan thought to herself that she also knew about the protection and sustainable development, and the monks on these islands were much stronger than their Eastern Territory.

Brother Ling'er spoke very carefully, and Shen Qinglan took notes one by one.

"Friend Daoist Shen." At this time, the monk called her not far away.

Shen Qinglan waved her hand in response.

Brother Ling'er had said almost the same thing at this time, and after bowing to Shen Qinglan, he returned to his companions.

That Ling'er has already gone to the place where the ship is berthed to solicit business.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you came so early." The monk ran over.

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "Come in advance to inquire about the situation."

She recounted everything she had heard from Brother Linger one by one, and just after she finished speaking, the pearl fishing boat at the Wuji Gate sounded its horn.

The surrounding monks began to move closer to it.

A monk in the Qi refining period dressed in the costume of a disciple of Wujimen was collecting spirit stones from the people on the boat.

"100 yuan per person for low-grade spirit stones, please come here to hand in the spirit stones."

100 yuan low-grade spirit stone?

The price is not low, you know, many people will end up empty-handed.

It's not that the golden pearl oyster is hard to find, but that the speed of this thing is too fast, and the two shells are opened and closed.

The two handed in the spirit stone and followed the others to board the boat.

Wujimen's pearl fishing boat is very big, and its shape is very different from the other boats she was on before.

There are many wide planks extending from the side of the boat, which should be convenient for monks to get on and off.

"Let's sail!" With the horn sounding again, the monk who collected the spirit stones shouted.

Shen Qinglan saw him jump onto the deck and hand over a handful of spirit stones to a female cultivator.

It was the female cultivator with only one arm, one of the three monks Shen Qinglan met on the boat at that time, Senior Sister Wu.

"These disciples of the Promise Sect are oppressive." The monk on the side whispered to her.

"Suppressing the boat during the foundation building period?" Is this cultivation level enough to beat monsters in the sea?
The monk continued, "There should be Jindan monks in the cabin, but there are no more high estimates."

Shen Qinglan somewhat implied that the monk would know this, after all, he said that he had never gone to pick gold beads before, "I didn't expect you to inquire so carefully."

"Hey, that day at that restaurant, after you left, I inquired with the monk at the table next to me."

Shen Qinglan nodded, it seemed that she was the only one who was cramming temporarily, if she hadn't met Ling'er, she probably boarded the boat without getting any news.

The monk raised his chin in the direction of Senior Sister Wu, "I met that female cultivator in Mingyue City, and a male cultivator who was traveling with her almost got into a fight."

"Fight?"

The monk nodded, "Well, at that time, she and the other two seemed to be looking for something but couldn't find it. Someone from the City Lord's Mansion of Mingyue City said something unpleasant."

Shen Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, "What are you looking for?"

The monk looked around, and finally changed it to a secret language, "I heard it's related to the Demon Slaying Conference!"
