Chapter 1376 - Golden Dragon Bone Soup
The Sovereign's Ascension
âWhat do you think? Why arenât you saying anything?â Lilâ Purple asked as she stared at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun knew that Lilâ Purple was still holding a grudge against Qin Cang. But when he considered what she said, the sound of that suggestion was pretty good. As he caressed her head, he smiled, âWhy donât we go and obtain the Sovereign Divine Rune first?â
âHmph, extracting the Sovereign Divine Rune is dangerous, so we need to fill up our tummies before we have the strength to do it. We have no idea what will happen, and we might even die in there,â said Lilâ Purple.
âThen, Iâll go make some preparations and see what I can pair with the dragon bone,â said Lin Yun. Making the Golden Dragon Bone Soup wouldnât be easy, and those ordinary tools wouldnât work. He had to borrow a cauldron from the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect. But if he was going to use a cauldron, just the dragon bone alone seemed a little lacking to brew a soup.
So he had to get help from Feng Zhang, Liu Qingyan, and the others to catch eight rare Snowdragon Carp from the sea. When Lin Yun went to look for them, they were still baffled about what Lin Yun was trying to do. But Lin Yun didnât bother explaining and just asked them to do as they were told. After they captured the carps, he called Ye Ziling, Wang Yuruo, and Su Ziyao.
When Lin Yun sorted out all the preparation work, he tossed the ordinary ingredients into the cauldron.
âJunior Brother Lin, what are you doing?â
âAre you going to cook?â Everyone was baffled and asked with a smile as they looked at Lin Yun. Because if Lin Yun was going to cook, there was simply no need for him to do it personally and make such a big fuss over it, especially the Snowdragon Carps that were hard to capture. Even Dragon Pulse Realm experts would have difficulty catching the carps if one wasn't proficient in it.
But they were happy that they could taste Snowdragon Carps together because they were known to be a delicacy. But shortly after, their expressions turned into shock when they saw Lin Yun crushing several saint elixirs he took from Lilâ Purple and tossed them into the cauldron after the fire started blazing.
âSaint elixirs!â Jiang Lichen and the rest gulped down a mouthful of saliva with disbelief. They only heard that saint elixirs were refined into pellets or refined with cultivation techniques. But they had never heard of saint elixirs being used as a cooking ingredient.
But what Lin Yun did next left them even more shocked. They were dumbfounded as they watched Lin Yun retrieve the Golden Dragon Bone and removed the imprint on it before creating several cracks on the surface of it with his sword intent.
âOh my god! Thatâs the Golden Dragon Bone!â
âGolden Dragon Bone Soup?!â
âHoly shit. Why is he using it to brew soup?!â Jiang Lichen was on the verge of going insane, with his eyes turning red because Lin Yun was simply wasting it. If Lin Yun didnât want it, he wouldnât mind accepting it.
âDonât bother feeling pity over it. You wonât dare to use it even if I give it to you. If Qin Cang knows that you took the Golden Dragon Bone, heâll probably immediately kill his way to the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect,â smiled Lin Yun because he could tell what Jiang Lichen was thinking with a glance.
âThatâs right. The Golden Dragon Bone is good, but itâs only a disaster if itâs in the hands of those who arenât strong enough.â Ye Ziling added.
Su Ziyao, seated beside Lin Yun, also joined in, âThis is a Divine Dragon True Bone, the bone beneath the reverse scale of a divine dragon. So it contains the essence of a divine dragon. The Divine Dragon True Blood can strengthen your bloodline, the Divine Dragon Essence can strengthen your soul, the golden saint liquid can strengthen the foundation of your cultivation, and the marrow can transform your body. Perhaps cooking it is the best way.â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up when they heard what Su Ziyao said, and they couldnât help getting excited. When Jiang Lichen heard what Ye Ziling and Su Ziyao noted, he could only quietly pout his lips.
The process of brewing the dragon bone was long. So while they waited, Lin Yun took out the Dragon Clanâs wine and shared it with everyone. In the process, Lin Yun even took out the Divine Indigo Jade Bamboo Flute and blew it. When he blew on the flute, this enveloped him in a faint sacred light that soon made everyone immersed in his song.
âBig Sister Su, why donât you play something as well?â Ye Ziling suddenly turned to Su Ziyao when she seemed to recall something.
âLady Su, why donât you join in?â Jiang Lichen and the others also echoed along with Ye Ziling.
Su Ziyao briefly hesitated when they heard their suggestion. But when she swept her gaze over, Lin Yun just happened to look at her as well. When she looked Lin Yun in the eyes, Su Ziyao lightly nodded her head before she took out a zither and started playing it, matching Lin Yunâs song perfectly.
âItâs really beautiful,â said Wang Yuruo as she leaned against Ye Ziling.
As time passed, the Golden Dragon Bone emitted a faint glow from the cauldron with the Divine Dragon Essence slowly seeping from the cracks that Lin Yun created. It was fortunate that Lin Yun used the Iris Sacred Flame. Otherwise, it wouldnât be easy for him to boil the dragon bone, even if he had already created some cracks on the surface of it. So it didnât take long for the Divine Dragon Blood to seep from the cracks and merge with the soup.
âThereâs really dragon blood!â Jiang Lichen and the rest had their jaws dropped when they saw the Divine Dragon Blood. As the golden dragon blood emitted a sacred aura, the aroma that came from the soup became even more tempting.
âThe marrow is also out!â A brief moment later, the entire dragon bone melted and turned into a jelly substance.
âAlmost ready.â Lin Yun lowered his flute and smiled at Su Ziyao before he flew to the cauldron. As he stretched his hand out, he used his aura as a giant spoon and started stirring the soup. Very quickly, the soup began to clear up along with his stirs. At the same time, the Snowdragon Carps were well-protected by his sword intent, preventing them from breaking apart.
âNot enough!â Lin Yun laughed as he released his firmament sword intent, instantly shattering the fourth layer of heaven and starlight poured down like a waterfall into the cauldron.
âHoly shitâ¦!â
âIsnât this a little too extravagant just to brew soup?â Jiang Lichen, Feng Zhang, and Liu Qingyan were shocked by Lin Yunâs actions.
When the starlight dissipated and the sky slowly closed up, Lin Yun was finally done brewing the soup. Without hesitation, everyone flew over and was shocked when they looked at the cauldron. The soup that previously looked sticky had cleared up with faint starlight, making the entire soup look like a clear lake.
But that wasnât what shocked them the most. What surprised them the most were the eight Snowdragon Carps that looked as though they were still alive in the cauldron while the saint elixirs and dragon bone had disappeared, merging into the soup entirely.
âIs this really the Golden Dragon Bone Soup?â Jiang Lichen rubbed his head with disbelief because Lin Yunâs culinary skill was too terrifying.
âYouâve hidden it well. I couldnât tell that you have such good culinary skills,â exclaimed Su Ziyao.
âWell, I can cook for you every day if you like,â replied Lin Yun.
âDo you think dragon bones are like grass that can be found anywhere?â Su Ziyao smiled.
The conversation between the two made Jiang Lichen, Feng Zhang, and the rest awkward because they felt their presence was unnecessary here.
Ye Ziling interrupted with a smile, âLin Yun, youâre not going to let us stand here and watch, right?â
âYuruo wants soup! Yuruo wants the Golden Dragon Bone Soup!â Wang Yuruo stepped forth.
âSob, sob! All of you get lost! This belongs to this empress; it all belongs to me! Lin Yun, you scumbag!â Lilâ Purple was so anxious that she was about to cry when she couldnât squeeze into the circle. She was the one who suggested it in the first place, but there was no room for her now.
âHaha, relax. One at a time, let Lilâ Purple will have it first,â smiled Lin Yun as he scooped a bowl for Lilâ Purple and even gave her a Snowdragon Carp.
âLilâ Red too! Lilâ Red too!â Lilâ Purple yelled.
âI know. I know.â Lin Yun wasnât in a rush as he scooped another bowl for Lilâ Red before Lilâ Purple was finally satisfied.
It didnât take long for everyone to hold a bowl of the Golden Dragon Bone Soup. When the soup entered their mouths, they all wore satisfied expressions on their faces because they could feel a warm current traveling through their bodies that made them feel like they were floating with the clouds.
At the same time, their bodies swiftly began to glow. But then, Jiang Lichen started to bleed from his nose as he could feel his blood surging within his body. Jiang Lichen then gulped down the entire bowl before he sat down and circulated his cultivation technique to refine the Golden Dragon Bone Soup, âI canât take it anymore. I have to meditate.â
Before everyone else could tease Jiang Lichen, their faces changed with joy because they finally knew why Jiang Lichen had to meditate. The Golden Dragon Bone Soup was equivalent to a strengthened saint elixir because the benefit was unimaginable.
Right then, Jian Jingtian and Feng Jue turned into two sword rays and landed in Lin Yunâs residence. They were both shocked when they looked at the Golden Dragon Bone Soup. Without any hesitation, Feng Jue left right away. But just when Lin Yun was feeling uncertain, Feng Jue returned while chuckling and carried a larger bowl than everyone else.
âSenior Brother, isnât that a basin?â Lin Yunâs lip twitched.
âBullshit, this is a bowl. Isnât it just a bowl of bone soup? It wonât harm you to give me some,â smiled Feng Jue before he started to gulp it down after he filled his âbowlâ with soup. âGolden Dragon Bone Soup, I bet no one dares to make a soup like that in ancient times!â
âCough, cough.â Jian Jingtian coughed and said, âGive me some as well.â
âAlrighty!â Lin Yun smiled.
Just like that, everyone was satisfied after drinking the Golden Dragon Bone Soup. Since Feng Jue and Jian Jingtian were both at the Samsara Edict Realm, their portion naturally exceeded everyone elseâs.
When the cauldron was emptied of the Golden Dragon Bone Soup, Jian Jingtian quickly said, âDonât waste the remains. I can brew it again to ensure that all the core disciples in the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect can drink a bowl.â
âIsnât this a little too inappropriate?â Lin Yun asked. He didnât feel bad for others to drink their remains.
âWhat do you know?â Jian Jingtian glared at Lin Yun. âThereâs no way they can drink the original soup with their cultivation. Brewing the remains is just perfect for them, and it can allow them to transform. In the future, my Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect might be able to give birth to several fated transcendents with it!â
Four hours later, everyone else was seated in Lin Yunâs residence, digesting the Golden Dragon Bone Soup because the benefits they got from it were too terrifying.
âLetâs go. Iâll bring you to the Sword Saint Mountain.â Jian Jingtian stood up and soared into the sky when Lin Yun opened his eyes.
âThis empress will go as well!â Lilâ Purple yelled as she quickly entered the sword box.
