Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 272 Water, Benefits All Things

Looking at Lingquan being carried away by a group of people in a hurry, Gu Xun'er said with a little anger: "How can you be such a guest?"

Qing Huan curled her lips and said, "Come on, you are more proud of yourself than me, don't think I can't see it... You asked him to guard the door, isn't it just to let me beat him up again?"

"I didn't!" Gu Xun'er denied it. Seeing the strange looks from the other guards, she quickly said, "Come in first, don't stay at the door any longer...Brother Xiao Yan, come in quickly."

After entering the yard, Qinghuan's eyes lit up. She left the two of them and excitedly came to the pool nearby, then gasped with heartache.

Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, followed and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early... You and Brother Xiao Yan go sit down first, and I will cook after I finish..."

"Don't! Don't!"

Qing Huan quickly stopped him and said distressedly: "You are simply wasting the food by handling it this way!"

Gu Xun'er snorted, "How did I waste the ingredients?"

Qing Huan squatted down and carefully took out a bone as thick as an arm from the water in the wooden basin. He said, "Sky Fire Bird, it is rumored that magma flows in its bones... You actually soaked it in water?"

Gu Xun'er was stunned: "How can you wash it clean without soaking it in water?"

"Of course, use fire!"

Qing Huan summoned the Azure Lotus Fire and carefully roasted the bones, saying distressedly, "I hope the phoenix marrow inside hasn't been lost...Also, you know to take the liver of the Violent Silver Fang, but what do you mean by these skewers? Are you planning to roast them with fire?"

Gu Xun'er blinked: "Isn't that right?"

"The reason why the liver of the Violent Silver Fang is so delicious is because it has a strong heart fire, but strong heart fire hurts the liver, so it should be kept on ice!"

Qing Huan shook his head and sighed, summoning the Bone Spirit Cold Fire: "Sure enough, I was right to come so early, otherwise the ingredients would have been ruined by you!"

Seeing Qing Huan using two kinds of strange fire in succession, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire roasting the Phoenix Marrow and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire chilling the Dragon Liver, Gu Xun'er curled her lips and pulled Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I finally know what it means to be picky... Don't learn from him."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. He also needed to have that ability.

"What does 'poor and particular' mean?"

Qing Huan concentrated on processing the ingredients and said unhappily, "Using appropriate cooking methods according to the characteristics of the ingredients is the way to respect the ingredients!"

Gu Xun'er retorted: "The recipe I got from my family is not as particular as yours!"

"That only means that your entire family won't eat it!"

"you……"

"how do I?"

"Humph!"

Xiao Yan quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Qing Huan, let me help you."

Qing Huan looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "With your control over fire... it's OK, barely acceptable. Can you help me with the elephant trunk and the ape meat? Pay attention to even cooking, and make sure they are cooked well from the inside out. Can you handle it?"

Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "That requires the flame to penetrate evenly... I'll try."

The host, Gu Xun'er, could only stand aside and watch the two guests busy themselves.

Compared to Qing Huan who effortlessly controlled two kinds of strange fire at the same time, Xiao Yan had a much harder time. He concentrated on controlling the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, fearing that he might accidentally burn the ingredients to ashes.

If that happened, Xiao Yan bet that Qing Huan would get furious!

However, this can indeed be a good way to practice flame control.

Gu Xun'er's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Xiao Yan, Cousin Xiao Yu wanted to find you a few days ago, but she couldn't find you."

Xiao Yan was distracted by this interruption, and the Azure Lotus Earth Fire surged. He was so scared that he quickly collected his thoughts. Fortunately, he managed to save the situation in time and nothing went wrong.

When I looked up, fortunately, Qinghuan didn't seem to notice.

After glaring at Gu Xun'er, Xiao Yan said, "Do you know why Cousin Xiao Yu wants to see me?"

"know."

Gu Xun'er smiled secretly and said, "The Jiama Empire has gone to war with the three surrounding empires. The Xiao family wants to ask you if the Xiao family wants to get involved?"

"Why did the Gama Empire fight with the three major empires?"

Xiao Yan looked at Qing Huan in confusion.

Qing Huan said without even raising her head: "Don't ask me, you know I don't care."

Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "The Chuyun Empire sent out two Dou Zongs, the Luoyan Empire sent out one Dou Zong, and although the Mulan Empire only sent out three peak Dou Huangs, the three of them have combined attack skills and can fight against Dou Zongs. On the Jia Ma Empire side, the Snake Tribe's Queen Medusa, Yun Lan Zong's Yun Shan, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and the president of the Alchemist Union, a total of five Dou Zongs, from the perspective of numbers, have the advantage."

Xiao Yan looked up at her and said, "Since you said that, there must be something else going on, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Xiao Yan."

Gu Xun'er nodded and said, "Yun Shan of the Yun Lan Sect is said to be a Dou Zong, but his foundation is unstable. Strictly speaking, his combat power is definitely not as good as that of a Dou Zong who has broken through normally.

The president of the Alchemy Guild is not good at fighting. Although he has broken through to the Dou Zong level, if he really fights, he is only slightly stronger than the peak Dou Huang.

Therefore, on the Gama Empire side, the real Dou Zong combat power is actually only Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian.

The reason why the three empires were able to unite was because of the connection between people behind the scenes. "

Xiao Yan was stunned: "The person behind the scenes?"

Gu Xun'er paused for a moment and said word by word: "It's the Soul Palace!"

"Peng——"

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in Xiao Yan's hand completely went out of control, rapidly expanding and enveloping the food, causing the temperature in the courtyard to rise sharply.

Suddenly, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire that had been surging out of control suddenly calmed down, and then gathered together obediently, as if it had never been out of control.

Xiao Yan looked at Qing Huan in amazement. This method of controlling fire was beyond his comprehension.

Qing Huan glared at Gu Xun'er fiercely and said to Xiao Yan, "How can you control the fire well if you are so startled? If you can't control the fire well, how can you make the medicine well?
Are you so easily disturbed by the outside world? Or is it that your mind simply cannot settle down?"

Xiao Yan was quite ashamed.

Qing Huan lowered his eyes and said, "Continue!"

Xiao Yan was stunned. He almost ruined the ingredients, and he was still asked to continue?
Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, just continue. Xun'er, please continue. Don't let me interrupt you this time."

Xiao Yan suddenly realized that these two people were teaching him.

Feeling warm in his heart, Xiao Yan no longer refused and regained control of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to process the ingredients.

Gu Xun'er continued, "The people in the Soul Palace can connect the three empires, so they are at least Dou Zong level, so strictly speaking, the three empires have at least five Dou Zong fighters.

On the contrary, the Jia Ma Empire only has three true Dou Zong fighters.

However, Queen Medusa possesses the magical power of "Dharma Appearance", and her true combat power is unknown, so we can only regard them as evenly matched."

Xiao Yan was silent.

If you want to know the whereabouts of your teacher, you must hear it from the Soul Palace.

Unfortunately, the people from the Soul Palace have been elusive and there has been no news of them in the past few years. Now that they have finally appeared, they have provoked a war between the four empires.

Only a Dou Zong could decide the direction of this war, and it was not something Xiao Yan could interfere with.

I'm afraid everyone in the Xiao family also knew the news, but they were unwilling to accept it, so they asked Xiao Yu to ask him.

The Soul Palace's guardian Wu rushed to the Xiao family and massacred everyone, and then captured the head of the Xiao family. Such hatred and humiliation were too heavy to bear.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and remained silent.

But both Gu Xun'er and Qing Huan could feel his heavy mood.

The people from the Soul Palace were right in front of him, but he didn't have the strength to participate, let alone rescue his teacher.

Gu Xun'er's eyes flashed with distress, and she said to Qing Huan unhappily, "You formed this alliance, right? Don't you care?"

Qing Huan rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, it was clearly them who proposed to form an alliance, and I am not involved, so how can I be involved?"

Gu Xun'er blurted out: "Why don't you go and join the battle? With your skills, it will be easy for you to win, right?"

Qing Huan tilted her head and said, “The alliance collects herbs for me, and I refine pills for the alliance… Power is used to do things, not to be a group of young masters and young ladies who need to be pampered!

Besides, it’s not like they can’t handle it now, so why should I worry about it?

Did those people outside hunt for these ingredients? When you sent them to do something, were you worried about what would happen if they encountered a seventh-level monster? What if they accidentally caused casualties?
If everything is pointed at one person, what's the point of building a power? To be a burden?"

Gu Xun'er was speechless.
