A life of clearness

Chapter 338 Dragon Blood Tofu
Oh my god, Senior Brother Xizi, are you really so perceptive?
Rong Qing quickly widened her eyes and pretended to be innocent: "What does this 'also' mean, Senior Brother Xizi?"

An embarrassed expression was visibly evident on Xizi's chubby face, as if she was thinking, oh no, I spoke too quickly.

"Because your senior brother also selected the shadow of my master back then and successfully got an A-level evaluation." Old Qin looked at Xizi with a very "kind" look.

"Big Brother, you mean this by 'not difficult'?" Rong Qing saw the opportunity very quickly and flattered the master: "The shadow that the master left behind was extremely powerful. If I were to choose the master, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get an A-level evaluation within three times."

"There is a way." Unexpectedly, the eldest senior brother's answer was so tough that he didn't even give the master any face.

"Master's start is slow." He said to Rong Qing sincerely, "You have more time to make use of."

Start? Rong Qing was prompted by Zhizheng's words and quickly recalled the scene of the battle with Qin Lao's phantom.

It was just as the eldest brother said. Rong Qing raised her fist, and then the master slowly raised his fist. It was not like the current master who would just come up and beat people.

Thinking of this, Rong Qing remembered something else: "Why did Master use a whip at that time?"

To be more precise, it should be said that it is some kind of chain-shaped alien weapon, but it can also be used with a whip.

"That was all back then. At that time, I was interested in all the moves in the Nine Styles of Juntian, and I practiced almost all of them." Old Qin sighed and took the initiative to answer Rong Qing's questions: "But the other eight moves are not as suitable for me as fists, so I only chose the boxing method in the end."

Therefore, Elder Qin told Rong Qing that if she wanted to learn other moves, she should go find the more knowledgeable elders to teach her.

But Rong Qing didn't know this during the trial, which was equivalent to being teased by Old Qin.

It was clearly a fist, but Zhang Kai gave you a whip. At that time, Rong Qing had countless barrages of thoughts flying through her mind, and then she was caught in a situation where she was suppressed and beaten by Old Qin.

"Zhizheng said that you can take advantage of the weakness of the shadow that my master used to be slow to start. The reason I said that is because there is a shortcut in the trial. It's not quite accurate to say it's a shortcut. It should be some kind of conventional strategy. If you want to quickly kill an opponent of the same level of cultivation within a breath, you must have overwhelming strength."

"But it's not that easy to gain overwhelming strength. So in order to get an A-level evaluation, I came up with this idea: At the very beginning, I used all the amplification methods I knew, such as the spiritual power burning secret method, to strengthen myself. Because the challenger is also a phantom, I can use the secret method of burning the soul."

"Some cultivators even resorted to some 'cheating' methods. For example, they took pills that strengthened themselves before the trial, so that the phantom formed after entering the trial would be more powerful."

"In short, from the beginning you must use all your strength to kill the opponent in the shortest possible time."

Old Qin looked at Xizi and said, "Your Senior Brother Xizi is always hesitant and doesn't have the faith to forge ahead, so he is always unable to exert his strongest strength. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, Xizi lowered her head in shame and was speechless.

Rong Qing seemed to be thinking about something. After Old Qin explained the key points to her, she now understood why Old Qin wanted to teach her the method of physical strength amplitude and the boxing method of the Nine Styles of Juntian first.

If she combined what she had learned now, Old Qin thought she would have a good chance of winning the bet.

"Although I have told you the strategy, don't think that you can rest easy with it. If your full burst of strength cannot reach a certain level, you will not be able to get an A-level evaluation."

Old Qin glanced at Rong Qing.

But at least you gave me the walkthrough, didn’t you?
Rong Qing silently calculated the possibility of blowing up Qin Lao's phantom with one punch. After fighting with the phantom for nearly half a quarter of an hour, she was fully confident about the strength of the phantom's physical body.

Seeing Rong Qing lost in thought, Old Qin shook his head and took out a blue floral cloth package from his sleeve. It was unknown where the blue floral cloth was bought from in a rural market, and there were a few old stains on it.

Xizi sniffed hard, unable to hide her surprise: "What is this?"

"Can you smell it?"

"How can I let Master spend money?" He couldn't help but sniff.

That being said, Senior Brother Xizi, the smile on your face is really suspicious. Rong Qing complained silently.

"It's not a big deal. It's what your fifteenth senior brother left over."

This was the first time Rong Qing heard Master Qin talk about other disciples. It was said that they were all dead...

"You two haven't met Little Fifteen, have you?" Old Qin was referring to Xizi and Rongqing. "Consider it his gift to you."

After Master said that, Rong Qing didn't dare to refuse. So she, Zhizheng, and Xizi watched in silence as Master Qin opened the floral cloth package, revealing a golden storage bag inside.

If this storage bag belonged to Senior Brother Fifteen, it would have been ownerless by now. Old Qin took out a small box from it.

As soon as the box appeared, the temperature dropped significantly. Could it also be used to store food?
Old Qin opened the box and solved Rong Qing's doubts.

This is... "Dragon Blood Tofu." Old Qin said in a calm voice.

Dragon blood tofu?! As expected of me, this is the world of great cultivators. Rong Qing was amazed that it could be made this way.

Under the gaze of the four people, the ten-sided dragon blood tofu was neatly placed in the box. It was all red with gold, as beautiful and clear as the best jade in the ten-sided world. Under the light of the fire, it was gleaming with golden light.

"Your fifteenth senior brother also practiced the Fish Dragon Robe. After he exchanged for the dragon blood, he used up most of it himself, leaving only a small bottle. He simply did not sell it and turned it into dragon blood tofu. He was also afraid that his fellow senior brothers and junior brothers would secretly take it away, so he specially left it here with me." When Qin Lao said this, he was silent for a while and sighed: "What a trick of fate. What will happen if it is kept here for tens of millions of years?"

Old Qin waved his hand, dispelling the somewhat depressing atmosphere at the table.

"Forget it, we will enjoy it today. I'm sure Little Fifteen will be happy to know about it."

Zhizheng took the box handed to him by Mr. Qin, put the dragon blood tofu into the pot one by one, and cooked it over warm fire.

"After Junior Sister Yu took the dragon blood, she is now able to practice the first level of the Fish Dragon Robe." He said while controlling the fire.

His flames are not violent in nature, so using them for cooking is... quite suitable?

At least the essence of the dragon's blood will not be easily burned away.

"Yeah." Rong Qing smiled and nodded.

Xizi stared at the dragon blood tofu in the bowl, thinking: Master took it out at this time, probably to help Junior Sister again, so that she can successfully get the first-class evaluation in the remaining two chances and win the bet. It's really a good intention...
