Using a Wok to Reorganize Life and Fly to Immortality

Chapter 71(1) - The Five Elements Palaces

The fragrance of onion, garlic and chili, accompanied by the multiple layers of sesame aroma, drowns Xiao Muge's five senses.

He couldn't help but pick up a pair of silver chopsticks, pick up a piece of vermicelli dipped in chili oil and chopped green onion, and tofu skin as thin as a cicada wing mixed with rich sesame sauce, and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, there is a dense taste of hot and spicy in his mouth.

The vermicelli skin is soft, tough and chewy, mixed with the thin and slightly sinewy tofu skin, and has distinct layers. It is soft but not mushy, hot but not lumpy.

With the rich soup, his whole mouth is fragrant.

He couldn't help but drink the last spoonful of red oil soup together with the remaining chopped green onion.

The heat soothes him and makes him feel comfortable.

The beads of sweat on Xiao Muge's forehead gradually wetted the fine cloth that covered his whole body.

[Sorry, Master, your calamity-transcending cultivation base leaked out with your sweat!]

"...!"

With a breath, Xiao Muge put down the bowl stiffly. He covered his forehead and walked into the cabin.

"It's amazing. Did senior brother have an epiphany? Today, the remains of Second Senior Sister's third-grade magic clothes have no spiritual energy. I don't feel anything after taking it." Hang Wan'er was curious.

Everyone from Nanxun was puzzled.

Xia Jingsi, the Son of Buddha, sighed. "I lost again."

Jin Haotian shook his head. "I'm a complete failure."

Su Yu: "..."

The boat traveled through the clouds and mist for several days. The four Nascent Souls from Taoist Mu's body continued blow wind to speed up the boat.

All the way to the west are full of yellow sand. The land is sparsely populated.

Xue Ning and Wei Shuang, which belong to water and ice elements, naturally feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, not long afterwards, an oasis full of color loomed at the end of the yellow sand.

The oasis is full of greenery. Everyone, who has watched the flying sand everywhere for a long time, is relieved.

When they got close, everyone saw five mountain gates in the oasis. The walls were nine feet high. The arches were painted with swords and green plants, symbolizing the five elements. A jade plaque is erected on each gate.

Five Elements Fire Palace

Five Elements Metal Palace

Five Elements Earth Palace

Five Elements Wood Palace

Five Elements Water Palace

Behind the towering Five Palaces gate are graceful bridges and flowing water, pavilions after pavilions, and imposing main and side halls. The styles of each five elements palaces are all different.

"They look amazing. Why do they need to find a successor? Don't they have any disciples themselves?"

Hang Wan'er doesn't understand.

Once bitten by a snake, people have been afraid of ropes for ten years.

The betrayal of Nanxun is still in their mind. It is difficult for Nanxun's disciples to understand the true meaning of this profound Five Elements Palace finding a successor.

Suddenly, various majestic, sharp, or gentle voices of five old people came from the Five Elements Palace gates.

"For thousands of years, it has been difficult to tell which of the five elements is stronger or weaker. We, practitioners of the Five Elements Palace, have been arguing for hundreds of years."

"Therefore, we set a test. Each palace is looking for a talented person under two hundred years old, and we will give everything to support this person to ascend."

"This will let us see which palace is the chosen one. From this, the five of us will also determine the level of strength of each of the five elements."

Nanxun disciples were all dumbfounded.

Su Yu understands. Isn't this just buying stock?

Choose one of five.

But before they said anything, the five palace masters of the Five Elements Palace quarreled on their own.

"Fool, why wait until ascension? This time, the Five Elements Palace will select five successors. They will enter the ancient secret palace to see who can be recognized. Won't this determine which palace will win? Hehe, it must be me, The Fire Palace, who wins."

"Huh. Reckless. What ancient secret palace? The one who can help people to cultivate and resist the invasion of demons is the final winner."

"Your earth element is patient. Where do you put my water element? Needless to say, the genius of my water element palace will definitely be the final winner."

"Don't make noise! No more noise. Otherwise, this old man will kill the four of you!"

Nanxun: "..."

Five terrifying auras immediately looked at their boat.

After a while, it slowly dissipated.

In front of each Five Palaces gate, there are masters in the peak of Nascent Soul in golden, red, blue, green and brown robes. One looks like a teenager, the other looks like a young girl, another young and handsome, smiling towards Nanxun's boat.

"Everyone, please choose a palace to stay at."

The people of the five palaces said in unison.

"The challenge will last for 30 days. No matter which one you choose, you can go to the other five mountain gates to participate in other assessments."

Qing Xuan was suddenly tangled.

'It's too difficult to choose.'

'Which gate will have a higher probability of being recognized by the palace.'

When the Five Elements Palace was launched, how it would be assessed, the ancient records did not explain in detail.

On the boat, Wei Shuang and Xue Ning looked at Su Yu hopefully. "Sister Su, come with us to the Water Palace."

Both Wei Shuang and Xue Ning's cultivation techniques belong to the water element palace.

But before they finished speaking, they saw the figure of Elder Jin Shishi of Jinbamen quickly fly out towards the metal palace gate with eighteen carved weapons.

"Everyone of Nanxun, please come to the Metal Palace of the Five Elements. Join us, Jinbamen. Nanxun has entered cultivation with swordsmanship, which is the closest to the sharp metal spiritual roots of the Metal Palace."

"It makes sense."

Both Qing Xuan and Elder Zhang nodded.

Xiao Muge had already re-bandaged himself and walked out of the cabin. He also agreed in his eyes.

Su Yu doesn't care. She is full of color and has five elements, so she can go anywhere.

However, looking at the numerous sword cultivator disciples of Nanxun, she still followed Elder Qing Xuan's wish and smiled apologetically at Wei Shuang and Xue Ning.

"We'll see you when the battle is over."

The two could only go to the Five Elements Water Palace in frustration.

The other four mountain gates disappeared into an oasis after they made a choice.

Only the golden gate was left shining brightly. The boat of a group of people from Nanxun immediately entered.

The two Nascent Soul peaks of the Five Elements Metal Palace smiled and saluted them. They led the way into the side hall courtyard.

The image of sharpness and chill pervades the entire palace.

Several Golden Core disciples wearing golden robes soon brought them spiritual tea.

The two Nascent Souls smiled and said, "Everyone takes a rest first. After three days, you can choose any gate to challenge."

"Regardless of the order, each gate will be open for thirty days."

"If you are injured or have insufficient spiritual power, we also have medicinal herbs and magic weapons for sale."

After saying that, they salute and disappear.

Everyone from Nanxun looked strange.

"It was Golden Core disciples who served tea and two Nascent Souls who led the way. The Five Elements Palace is really strong, but it's a bit like..."

They couldn't help but look at Su Yu.

The Five Elements Pot in Master Su shook.

She touched her nose.

She never let Nascent Soul elders lead the way. At most, she asked them to play guard or beat egg white.

"We, Jinbamen, are going to challenge the Five Elements Earth Palace first." Jin Haotian sat down on the chair in the lobby. 

"Earth element is mostly defensive. We, Jinbamen, are good at attacking, so maybe we can win. If not, as long as we understand the general method of the Five Elements Palace, our ultimate goal is the Five Elements Metal Palace."

'That's a good idea.'

Qing Xuan nodded in admiration. "Junior Nephew Jin deserves to be the next head."

Jin Haotian: "...Cough, last time, I really didn't say what I think in my heart, um... Well, I don't know what you think. If you want to go to a Five Elements Earth Palace to try it out, you can come with us."

Everyone from Nanxun looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at Yu Dong again.

As the only 'master' of metaphysics in her back kitchen, Yu Dong consciously took out the compass.

Under Xiao Muge's gaze, he tested it five times.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

It's a different result every time.

Jin Haotian: "..."

Qing Xuan and other elders: "..."

Xiao Muge: "..."

'That's fine.'

Xiao Muge picked up a teacup. He was really afraid that his younger brother would touch the secret of heaven, and once he said it, he would be punished by heaven.

Since the secret is not allowed to be spilled, then he is at ease.

But she soon heard Hang Wan'er gasp. "Hey, does this mean that Second Senior Sister can win any palace? God is telling us. Second Senior Sister, close your eyes and do whatever you want. Just choose a palace to go to."

Xiao Muge almost drops his cup of tea.

The corners of Qing Xuan's eyebrows twitched, but he was also a little persuaded.

"Well," Qing Xuan smiled at Su Yu. "Then let Master Su decide."

Su Yu: "..."

'As long as you are happy.'

She poked Xiong Feng next to her.

Xiong Feng's dark bear paw poked Jin Haotian beside it.

Jin Haotian: "?"

Su Yu understood. "Then we will follow you and go to the Five Elements Earth Palace."

Nanxun decided so easily that even Jin Haotian felt scared.

'Isn't this too casual?'

On the other hand, Xiao Muge admired his Second Junior Sister's decisiveness and let it take its course.

After they discussed the matter of playing, they practiced cross-legged.

Jin Haotian: "??"

'What were we discussing?'

...

In the Fire Palace wing.

"Junior Sister Mei, I just saw Jinbamen and Nanxun go in and out together, as well as Shuilingmen and Bingling Sect. Within the five elements, Jin Haotian himself is fire. Jinbamen's metal elements and all the water elements from the north are on the Nanxun side."

Mei Zhen'er, who is now dressed in a begonia-colored palace dress, has a golden phoenix hairpin inserted around her temples. Her skin is as white as snow, but her eyes are as smooth as silk.

Dusty whirls constantly spin around the brown robe of the man who speaks to her. There are nine phantoms of mountains between his sleeves.

He blushed when he glanced at her. "I heard that when Nanxun was fighting you in the north, they hurt Junior Sister Mei and made you fall in your realm. Is it true?"

'Mei Zhen'er' smiled and fiddled with the faintly shiny, trembling gray misty beads in her hands.

She looked up at the man in front of her, who kept shedding dust, and lowered her face.

"No, Big Brother Xu Tu misunderstood. In the Northern Realm Cultivation Event, it was because Elder Rong hurt an Elder of Nanxun. I panicked, and my practice method went crazy, so I was injured."

Xu Tu scratched his head. "That's good. When I heard about it on the western side, I thought it was true. Originally I wanted to seek justice for you, but if that's the case, I would wronged them."

Mei Zhen'er: "..."

'Is this guy stupid?'

"Brother Xu Tu, our Tiansheng Sect will advance and retreat together with you, the Jiuyao Mountain of the west. In this way, we don't have to worry about encountering Nanxun and Jinbamen."

Xu Tu nodded solemnly. "Nanxun can make you worry about the state of retreat. It seems that they are also a dragon and a phoenix. I heard that they are going to the earth palace, so I will go to appreciate their style and see if they can be a friend."

"..."

Isn't this guy her admirer?

Mei Zhen'er found her voice back only after taking some deep breaths. "Brother Xu, be careful. They are very powerful."

Xu Tu nodded and immediately led his brothers and sisters from Jiuyao Mountain to leave.

As soon as he left, the beads on Mei Zhen'er's wrist vibrated endlessly.

Mei Zhen'er stroked the bead with a light smile. "What? Now you don't have to do anything. Just restore your soul that was devoured by luck. What else is there to be dissatisfied with—Miss Mei?"

"That's right. Xu Tu is your admirer. But in the beginning, I taught you how to seduce him, so he likes me too. Haha"

The string of beads trembled even more frantically, but a seal fell towards it.

Suddenly the bead fell silent.

'Mei Zhen'er' stood up with a smile. "I'll go see your other admirers again. You have to thank me. When I am here, your Tiansheng Sect and your father's luck will last forever."

But as soon as she finished speaking, a low voice of inquiry fell clearly in her ear.

"Tiansheng Sect? You stole the luck of my junior brothers and sisters?"

Mei Zhen'er was stiff, and her neck was cold.

"Who!?"

The Divine Transformation consciousness she hid in Mei Zhen'er's Nascent Soul's body immediately swept towards the small courtyard.

She turned and looked at the koi lake in the courtyard alertly.

She saw a black figure facing the other side. The long sleeves were wide, and hands were hanging down from the side of the body.

Those hands are strangely wrapped in muslin.

As soon as Mei Zhen'er saw it, for some reason, her soul trembled.

The man's low voice sounded like a judgment. "I see that you have already returned most of the luck. I watch the sky at night and see that the future avenues of my younger brothers and sisters still need to be sharpened by you. I can spare you for a while."

Mei Zhen'er secretly said, "Who are you, come here!"

"However, even though the death penalty is temporarily exempted, the crime cannot be escaped."

The black robe fluttered, and he slowly turned around.

But his figure seemed to be 100,000 miles away, and she couldn't see him clearly.

She saw him slowly raise his right hand and untie the half-inch muslin of his right index finger, exposing a small segment of a finger and his manicured fingernail.

"I will retain your cultivation base for my junior brothers and sisters in the five elements palace. Everything else should be deprived."

Mei Zhen'er: ...

As soon as he breathed out, the muslin that fell between his fingers floated towards her.

It's just a flimsy, plain white cloth without any power...

However, she was imprisoned and unable to move!

In an instant, the muslin arrived at half an inch before her eyes.

It turned into an unadorned broad sword and slapped her on the head!

"Ah!"

Mei Zhen'er's sea of knowledge and Dantian were in severe pain as if she was being pierced by a hundred swords one after another!

With one breath, the five characters from Mei Youde in her storage bag were all reduced to ashes.

"Tiansheng Sect, I will pay attention to you at any time. If you move my junior brothers and sisters' luck again, death."

The muffled sound disappeared.

The black robe turned into nothingness.

Mei Zhen'er took a step back and sweated profusely. Her face is pale, and she fell to the ground. "Someone!"

Several Divine Transformation elders and Nascent Soul elders hurried over. "Miss?"

"Someone just tried to kill me! Where have you been!"

"Huh? No one entered this place. We have been guarding outside the courtyard. Miss, you are not injured. Why is your face so pale? Is it a nightmare?"

Mei Zhen'er lost her mind.

'That person is a master in the Transcending Tribulation!'

'Mei Youde's five-character clones are equivalent to the pinnacle of Divine Transformation, but it was completely destroyed in an instant!'

'Who is he?'

'Is he from Nanxun, or is he the senior brother of those lucky people killed by Mei Youde in the past?'

Beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead. Soon she discovered that the person really kept her Nascent Soul cultivation base and divine sense and did not hurt her at all, as if the pain she had just suffered was all a dream.

Experience... Use her to sharpen his junior brothers and sisters?

...

Far in the south, Mei Youde, who was opening the Eighth-Rank Book of Heaven, suddenly felt a pain in his brow.

From the book in his hand, five pages were suddenly burned by the sky and turned into ashes!

Mei Youde took a deep breath and spat out a trace of pale gold blood.

"Who?"

His handsome, elegant middle-aged face changed color.

...

"What's the matter? I feel that Junior Sister Mei is different from before."

The chief of Jiuyao Mountain, the youngest Nascent Soul peak in his family, Xu Tu, who was less than 200 years old, took his junior brothers and sisters back to his small courtyard in confusion.

But in an instant, a slender man in a black robe and a hat appeared in front of them, the Jiuyao Mountain disciples.

He stretched out his hand to hold the hat that was about to flutter in the wind.

"Comparison and fight are honing steps on the way to Ascension."

"I won't interfere."

"But everyone remembers, don't hurt the lives and cultivations of my junior brothers and sisters, and don't bully them. Otherwise, you will definitely be held accountable."

After speaking, the man disappeared like smoke.

Xu Tu: "?"

He was suddenly tense and sweating profusely.

"A Divine Transformation master?"

Before he could react, this person left!

"Wait a minute, who are your younger brothers and sisters?"

A jasper turtle slowly appeared in thin air.

Its two claws dropped the word "Nanxun" and disappeared into thin air.

Xu Tu was stunned.

'Senior Brother of Nanxun, do you think us, the Jiuyao Mountain, can hurt your brothers and sisters?'

How is it different from what he heard? Didn't Nanxun almost beat Junior Sister Mei to death?

Nanxun... is so humble!

...

On the second day, there was a stone tablet at the gate of the Five Elements Palace.

[At noon today, the Five Elements Palace Formation will be opened. ]

[Those who will enter the battle today, please gather at the gate.]

All factions are taking action.

Shuilingmen go to the Fire Palace, and Bingling Sect goes to the Water Palace.

The battle itself is an experience.

All sects are ready to challenge the five elements one by one. They have their own plans in order.

Just like the results of the compass at that time, Nanxun, along with Jinbamen, flew to the fifth most western gate, the earth palace.

When they arrived, many sects were already waiting at the stone monument at the gate.

One of the sects was wearing brown robes. All the disciples were constantly dropping dust from their sleeves as they stood.

"Second Senior Sister, they seem to be watching us all the time? How strange."

The disciples of Nanxun were confused.

"Do they know that our elder Hong Yun is obsessed with cleanliness, and he can't stand them the most?"

Hang Wan'er asked curiously.

Su Yu raised her head unhurriedly.

Hong Yun, who was sitting on a flying talisman and watching: "..."

He has indeed closed his eyes. He just really wants to cast a dust-removing art on the opponent.

"They are from the Jiuyao Mountain from the western border. The eldest disciple, Xu Tu, is at the peak of Nascent Soul. Four of the other nine disciples are Nascent Souls, and the other five are Golden Cores. They should not be underestimated."

Jin Haotian put his arms around his chest, explaining to Su Yu, who rarely seen the world.

"Most of them used earth-based exercises, and they are really sincere. On the first day, they came to the Five Elements Earth Palace to fight to the death. It seems that they are really bound to obtain the follow-up method of Half-Cut Into the Earth technique."

'Half cut?'

Su Yu supported her forehead.

'The name of this exercise is really unique.'

"Hey, they are even more pitiful than me. They cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and their body will continuously shed dirt. In normal practice, I heard that as long as they move spiritual energy for a circle, half of their body is like being buried in the soil, and their surrounding is full of dirt. "

Jin Haotian sighed.

"In comparison, my Fire Spirit technique is better."

"Humph." The junior sister beside Xu Tu stared at Jin Haotian dissatisfiedly. "It's better than someone who can't sit still."

Jin Haotian touched his nose.

He can sit down now.

Xu Tu stepped forward and bowed to Jinbamen and Nanxun. "Please advise me today."

During the speech, a steady stream of dust floated out of him into the noses of everyone.

Master Su, who always pays attention to the cleanliness of her kitchen, can't stand it.

Fortunately, Xu Tu and the others already have experience.

While greeting Su Yu and others, he took the initiative to throw the dust-removing art on them.

So it allows Su Yu and others to stay clean.

"Please forgive me. We have reached the fifth level of our practice, as a result, we are gradually returning to the origin of our Dao." Xu Tu apologized.

But soon, he looked toward Su Yu, who leads Nanxun.

As soon as his consciousness swept away, he realized that she was still a golden core.

He couldn't help but understand why the Senior Brother of Nanxun was so worried that they would be injured yesterday.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't be brave, we won't kill you all."

Xu Tu comforted Su Yu.

Su Yu: "??"

Xiao Muge, who was standing in the corner, nodded in relief.

But he heard Elder Zhang next to him say, "Hey, it's not very good. Before, during the third-level competition, those disciples whom Little Su defeated always talked to her like this."

Xiao Muge: "..."

The stone tablets in front of the five mountain gates suddenly lit up with a phantom.

The aura was soaring to the sky. In an instant, several sects standing in front of the mountain gate were involved.

Within one breath, the Son of Buddha and Xiao Muge in the corner were both bounced out by the stone tablet.

Xia Jingsi put his hands together and looked at Xiao Muge. "Amitabha, it turns out that Senior Brother Xiao, just like me, is also over two hundred years old. This round, I am a draw with you."

"..."

Xiao Muge closed his eyes.

Then he silently walked back to his master, Taoist Mu.

When he saw Taoist Mu, he was shocked. "Eldest disciple, when did you get so old by more than a hundred years? Your teacher doesn't even know."

[Pffft—]

The Jasper Turtle turned over with a smile inside Xiao Muge's sea of consciousness for a moment.

On the stone tablet, it was written: 200-year-old cultivators and above the Nascent Soul are not allowed to enter.

Taoist Mu hasn't managed to delve into it yet, and images of various sects rushing into the formation have appeared on the stone tablet.

Five majestic voices sounded almost simultaneously.

[The first to arrive at the center of any of the Five Elements Palace and find us will be eligible for our successor candidacy! ]

The sound resounded through the rolling desert.

The disciples of many sects in the west all looked up at the projection on the huge stone tablet.

The disciples of the southern and northern borders also learned about the situation in real-time through the projection stones that their elders broadcasted from the western border.

For a while, cultivators from all over the world gathered to watch and pay attention to this battle that only started after hundreds of years.

"Fight! Senior Sister Su!"

"Sister Su can definitely do it!"

"Second Senior Sister!"
