Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 256 Fish Soup
To be honest, the combat power of strange fire is quite confusing.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was easily dealt with by Medusa with just one Dou Huang. After burning a Dou Queen, its power was greatly reduced to the point that even a Dou Master could devour and refine it...

The Fallen Heart Flame was beyond the reach of even the Dou Huang and even the Dou Zong of the Canaan Academy could not suppress it. After it escaped, even a group of Dou Huangs joined forces and could hardly take it down.

The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was able to imprison a group of Dou Zun and Dou Sheng for a thousand years...

Needless to say, Void Devouring Flame is comparable to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng...

The combat effectiveness of different strange fires varies greatly... Qinghuan had underestimated the Netherworld Poison Fire before.

……

The pitch-black chaotic fire burned the cut meat. Qinghuan sensed it carefully with his eyes half closed and half open.

Mang Tianchi walked around curiously for a few times, and then said strangely: "Your origin fire... is a bit strange, it has life and death, yin and yang, and all five elements...

Well, with this kind of origin fire, plus your soul... no wonder you have the ability of an eighth-grade alchemist at such a young age.

But your origin fire doesn't seem to be refined from a different fire, but rather it seems to be born from your origin...Hide it well, kid, or someone will catch you and extract your origin."

This is a friendly reminder.

Qing Huan opened his eyes and said speechlessly, "Who would have thought that in this corner of the Northwest Continent, I would meet a half-saint? Why don't you hang out with people of the same level in Zhongzhou instead of coming to this novice area?"

"Novice area?" Mang Tianchi understood, laughed, and said: "I just like to travel around. Although the cultivation level of people in the northwest continent is generally not high, there are many good things!
I have been traveling for so many years, and I have never seen a place more bizarre than this place..."

As for what was strange, Mang Tianchi didn't say anything, but changed the subject and urged: "It has been roasted for so long, it should be cooked, why don't you eat it? Are you trying to delay time?"

"You claim to have opened an academy, but don't you even understand the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude?"

Qing Huan rolled her eyes and said, "If you can't fully understand the characteristics of the ingredients, how can you cook them properly?"

As he spoke, Qinghuan made hand seals.

The black chaos fire suddenly revealed a picture, and on the picture was a mermaid!
It was not the mermaid from the previous life, but a fish-like monster with two legs. It was soaked in poisonous water, and the poison penetrated its whole body and transformed its body.

And after continuously devouring various poisonous weeds for a long time, it mutated, transformed, and adapted a little bit, and finally became what it is now.

Mang Tianchi was stunned and blurted out: "Tracing back to the source? Does your fire have this ability?"

Qing Huan did not answer, but stared at the picture in the flames, constantly analyzing the poisonous grass that the mermaid had devoured.

Little Medical Fairy also understood and helped to analyze it.

And when it comes to collecting poisonous herbs, her collection is even richer than Qinghuan's.

Mang Tianchi slapped his thigh, his face full of annoyance.

The reason why he was so sure that this monster could not be eaten was not only because it smelled terrible, but also because every inch of its flesh and blood was filled with poison.

Now that this kid's flame can actually trace its origin, he can naturally also eliminate the corresponding poison.

As for the stench... Mang Tianchi has traveled the world for so many years, how could he not understand that many things don't look good or are even disgusting, but can be made to taste astonishingly delicious?
……

Sure enough, after analyzing the properties of the ingredients, Qinghuan specially selected a piece of meat from the back of the monster and began to process it formally.

Or rub it with poisonous grass, or soak it in poisonous juice...

After some processing, the monster's meat turned clean and white, with a layer of faint green hue in the white. The stench dissipated a lot, replaced by a fishy smell.

It still smells bad, but at least it's not as disgusting.

Seeing Qing Huan skillfully taking out pots, pans, and a bunch of seasonings, Mang Tianchi began to sigh. This kid brought all these with him even when he came to a place like Netherworld Poisonous Marsh, which showed that he really loved to eat.

He's also a good eater!

Then comes the slicing. Qinghuan cuts it very carefully, each slice is as thin as a cicada's wing, and looks no different from sashimi.

The pot of water had already boiled, and soon after the fish fillets were added, they released their tempting deliciousness. Unfortunately, there was still a faint fishy smell.

But this level is already edible.

After witnessing Qinghuan's ability to turn decay into magic, Mang Tianchi immediately admitted defeat.

A very honest and generous old man.

After admitting defeat, Mang Tianchi also squatted beside the pot, smelled the smell, and said: "If the fishy smell can be removed, this will definitely be a very delicious fish soup..."

As he spoke, he took out a few flowers and plants like a magic trick, picked up one of them, and said, "I don't know what this is called, but according to my experience, it can replace the role of ginger and has a first-class effect in removing fishy smells!"

Qing Huan took it and looked at it, then said, "I call it Wu Xiang Grass. It doesn't remove the fishy smell, but suppresses it. It relies on its own strong smell to suppress the fishy smell for a short period of time, and then it will be released."

Mang Tianchi's eyes lit up. The grass in his hand had no effect on refining medicine, so it would naturally not be recorded in the list of medicinal materials, but many ordinary people would use it as a seasoning. The boy in front of him even knew this and even gave it a name...

Mang Tianchi seemed to have found a soulmate, and said excitedly: "No wonder I used it to cook fish. After eating it for a while, even my speech smelled fishy."

Qing Huan found a bottle from her pile of seasonings and said, "This is the seasoning I made with Wu Xiang grass. It can really remove the fishy smell."

As he spoke, he sprinkled some into the pot.

Mang Tianchi quickly snatched it, put it under his nose and asked, and said with satisfaction: "The taste is slightly spicy, and it does contain the ingredient of Wuxiang Grass... This bottle is for me."

Having said that, he stuffed it into the ring without any hesitation.

As a connoisseur of gourmet food, Mang Tianchi naturally understood that true cooking masters usually would not choose seasonings with overly strong flavors, as those would cover up the flavor of the ingredients themselves.

The taste of Wuxiangcao is spicy and strong, but after being blended with Qinghuan, it has only a very light taste and is a top-notch condiment.

Qing Huan: "..."

Ordinary fish meat certainly cannot be stewed for a long time, otherwise it will become tough - but seventh-level monsters are another matter.

While Qinghuan was stewing over high heat, Mang Tianchi took out Qinghuan's seasonings one by one to check.

Some of them he recognized, and he even had them himself, but there were some that he didn't know about.

Although a semi-saint, Mang Tianchi was able to humble himself and ask Qinghuan for advice sincerely.

"This is the Heartbreak Grass, which is extremely poisonous. However, after being refined with the Moon Flower, Green Ivy Root, and Grain in Ear Grass using herbal medicine techniques, it not only eliminates the toxicity, but also stimulates the deliciousness of the ingredients to the extreme!"

"This is cumin powder, specially made for barbecue. Of course, it is made of a variety of ingredients and refined by alchemy..."

"This is……"

Mang Tianchi sighed: "It seems that if you want to be a good cook, you still have to become a pharmacist first..."

With a sigh, he unceremoniously stuffed some of the seasoning into his storage ring.

Qinghuan’s control over the heat is perfect. When you open the lid of the pot, the delicious taste is mouth-watering.

Mang Tianchi and Qinghuan swallowed their saliva at the same time.

There wasn't much soup, just enough for five or six bowls. Qing Huan took the lead and took a bowl. After taking a sip of the delicious fish soup, he looked intoxicated and almost hummed.

I picked up another piece of fish, which was crispy, tender, refreshing and chewy.

"Is it really so delicious?"

Mang Tianchi watched eagerly, and halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that his saliva secretion increased significantly. In order not to be discovered, he swallowed the rest of his words along with his saliva.

Qing Huan said considerately, "How about you try it?"

This was exactly what Mang Tianchi was waiting for. He immediately took the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp, revealing the same intoxicated expression as Qinghuan.

The old man and the young man took turns taking a bite, not only with an intoxicated look on their faces, but also making clicking sounds, in an oddly harmonious scene.

When the two finished the soup in their bowls, they all looked at Little Medical Fairy.

The Little Medical Fairy immediately said, "I don't want it! I won't eat it even if you kill me!"

The corpse of the monster was still lying aside. The stench was so awful that she couldn't eat it at all.

“No luck!”

Qinghuan said this and quickly filled another bowl.

Mang Tianchi simply picked up the pot and poured the rest into the bowl.

Qing Huan wiped his mouth, looking satisfied as if he had had enough wine and food, and said, "I've eaten the monster too, so I'm willing to admit defeat. You won't deny it, right?"

Mang Tianchi threw the last piece of meat in the bowl into his mouth, chewed for a long time before giving up in dismay, and said: "Am I that kind of person? It's just the Netherworld Poison Fire, I will help you conquer it... Speaking of which, you have that black flame, what do you need the strange fire for?"

Qing Huan pointed at Xiao Yi Xian and said, "It's not me who wants it, it's her."

Mang Tianchi looked at the Little Medical Fairy and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of the Sky Poison Girl a few days ago. The word "disaster" in the name of the evil poison body is not appropriate for you.

You can open up a road to heaven for the evil poison body, which is unprecedented and not easy!"

Little Medical Fairy smiled and said, "It's all because of Qinghuan's good teaching."
