The Dragon Unicorn dived into the lake and stirred up waves. On the surface of the lake, the Daoist immediately rushed over with a horsetail whisk in his hand and shook it towards the bottom of the lake. Countless strands of horsetail whisk scattered down like a huge fishing net, wanting to trap the Dragon Unicorn in the lake.
Boom.
The surface of the lake trembled violently and the Daoist gave a grunt. The horsetail whisk in his hand exploded until only the handle was left. He knew he was no match for this Dragon Unicorn and immediately ran away while shouting, "Demon, you guys are bathing in the Imperial Family's Jade Dragon Lake and still dare to hit me, just wait to be beheaded!"
Not long later, the scholars of Imperial College walked out of Hall of Pure Yang and towards Scholar's Residence. Today was Daoist Ling Yun's lesson in Hall of Pure Yang. What Hall of Pure Yang taught was the path of qi cultivation. Daoist Ling Yun was known for his profound cultivation, cultivating his vital qi to the level of pure yang.
Before most of the scholars could return to Scholar's Residence, they suddenly stopped in their tracks and turned their heads back in astonishment. All of them froze on the spot.
They saw an unbelievably huge red fish flying over from the sky. That red fish had red scales on its body and dragon horns on its head. Because it had absorbed the qi of the nine dragons here for many years, the head of the fish had turned into a dragon and looked like a half fish and half dragon. It had a mouth full of sharp teeth and looked extremely ferocious.
However, at this moment, this huge fish was restrained by a few strands of vital qi and couldn't move. A gust of demon wind carried this huge fish straight towards Scholar's Residence, making all the scholars stare blankly.
Behind this huge fish was an even bigger Dragon Unicorn. As it ran, it shook off the water on its body. There was also a white fox standing on the head of the Dragon Unicorn, stirring up the demon wind to lift up that huge fish.
That Dragon Unicorn brought the fox and rushed into Scholar's Residence. It then threw the huge fish into Academician Qin's courtyard with a thump. The little fox squeaked and burrowed into the courtyard, closing the door.
A scholar muttered, "That fish seems to be one of the fish kings in Jade Dragon Lake, it's called Red Dragon Carp. It's the imperial dish that the emperor would serve to all the civil and military officials during New Years …"
A scholar beside him also had a blank expression and muttered, "My old man was indebted to the emperor last year and was able to taste a mouthful of fish soup during the Imperial Dragon Banquet. He was full of praises and even now, he still tells me that it's a delicacy in the world … However, that Red Dragon Carp is only one foot long. This one … "
The other scholar's Dragon Unicorn had yet to come back to Qin Mu's room and saw the white fox's Dragon Unicorn's body. It then ran Fox Unicorn's mouth and demon wind and wind to a mulberry tree to the ground.. She then turned the demon Wind and transformed the demon wind to the ground to the ground and and transformed the demon wind to to the ground.... She then, the demon wind and Dragon Unicorn's and and Ling Unicorn's Carp and then.... Unicorn's Dragon.
The little fox went back and forth a few times to move the trunk of the tree back to the courtyard. Thick smoke then rolled out from Qin Mu's courtyard. It was obvious that the little fox and that Dragon Unicorn were starting a fire to roast the fish.
Most of the scholars looked at each other in dismay and Qu Ting muttered, "That's the Aspiration Tree planted by Esteemed Green Mountain, the directorate of Hall of Azure Yang. It's a tree that was planted to encourage the scholars to aspire to better themselves in their studies …"
Not long later, a delicious aroma filled Scholar's Residence.
Most of the scholars drooled and looked at each other in dismay. The fox and that Dragon Unicorn brought by the abandoned people from Great Ruins had killed the fish king of Jade Dragon Lake which was the drinking ground of the imperial family and chopped down the Aspiration Tree planted by Esteemed Green Mountain before starting a fire to roast the fish?
Looking at how reckless they were, were they trying to rebel?
"Young master, how's the taste?"
The conversation between the youth and the fox could be heard from Qin Mu's courtyard. Qin Mu's voice could be heard, "It's alright, it's just that it's not marinated so it's a little bland. It's best if the fish meat is marinated for a day and a night so that it would be crispy and tender when eaten. This fish is so huge, where did it come from? "
"From the lake."
"So I see. I had once fished with Grand Chancellor beside the lake and saw a few huge red fish. However, I only managed to catch a Nine Dragon Carp which was very small but the taste was very delicious. You used mulberry wood to roast the fish very well, there's a sweet and sour fruity taste of mulberry. "
…
All the scholars in Scholar's Residence had a gloating expression and Qu Ting chuckled softly, "Academician Qin, you're dead for sure!"
In the courtyard, Qin Mu stirred a thick wooden stake and spun the Red Dragon Carp. Below it was a vigorous flame which was controlled by the Dragon Unicorn, roasting the huge fish until it was tender on the inside and charred on the outside.
The Dragon Unicorn controlled the fire and let the flames seep into the flesh and bones of the huge fish. The mulberry wood was green mulberry and had water vapor, therefore it had a smoky smell. Hu Ling'er controlled the wind and let some of the smoky smell enter the fish meat.
They then stuffed a lot of mulberry leaves, onions, and ginger into the stomach of the fish which was filled with tender fish oil. As the fish roasted, it sizzled and dripped into the fire. The smell of the green smoke from the burning fish oil whetted everyone's appetite.
When the entire fish was roasted, Hu Ling'er immediately controlled her wind blade curved knife to slice off the fish meat from the belly. The fish meat here was the fattest and most delicious.
Her knife skills were very good and every piece of fish meat was sliced perfectly. At the same time, she also controlled the plate to let every piece of fish meat land on the plate. Every piece of fish meat was sparkling and translucent, like pieces of soft and bouncy white jade.
Qin Mu pressed down on the fire to make it smaller. One human, one fox, and one Dragon Unicorn then sat beside the fire to eat the roasted fish.
Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly and remembered a strange technique in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures called Spirit Return Pill Great Supplement Technique. He immediately executed his vital qi and circulated this technique to speed up the digestion. Soon, his stomach was empty again and his mouth didn't stop as he continued to eat the roasted fish around the fire.
The name of this technique was weird and the technique was even weirder.
The cultivation method of Spirit Return Pill Great Supplement Technique mainly relied on eating.
This technique could turn the food in the stomach into energy for the body or vital qi to strengthen the body and bones and raise the cultivation. Therefore, it was called Spirit Return Pill Great Supplement Technique.
Qin Mu's body was now thin and weak and needed to replenish the exhaustion of his corporeal body. Now that there was an unbelievably huge roasted fish in front of him, he could use this technique to nourish his body.
This fish was a mutated species after all and had lived in Imperial College for a long time. After absorbing the qi of the nine dragons, it tasted delicious and nourished the flesh and blood. Qin Mu's body was currently in a deficit so when he executed this strange technique, he felt the food in his stomach turning into nutrients which were absorbed by his limbs and bones.
