Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 425 Ten Thousand Years, Deep Blue Dolphin
Wu Xuan took out a large bucket of fish oil extracted from Xiao Bai's fat from his storage soul tool. He had extracted more than two hundred buckets of this fish oil, but even so, he had only extracted less than half of the fat from Xiao Bai's body.

Two hundred-odd buckets are more than enough; collecting any more would just be a waste of time. The remaining carcasses are now returned to nature; such an energy-rich feast will benefit countless sea creatures in the ocean.

The bucket for holding the fish oil was naturally cut by Wu Xuan from the rare metal he had, which was of relatively low value. The metal structure of the silver was relatively stable, and although it was large, its value was not too high, so it was the best choice.

As Wu Xuan threw a large lump of semi-solidified fish oil into the sea, a strange scene unfolded. The fish oil instantly melted, spewing out a rich burst of energy from the sea surface. Then, the faint fragrance it had emitted was no longer confined to its original small area, but spread rapidly to the surrounding area as the seawater rippled.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the once calm sea surface was suddenly churned with endless waves. First to arrive were the most numerous swordfish in the ocean, followed by whirlpool seahorses, spotted seals, sea urchins, and deep-sea vipers—these formidable marine species swarmed in. And it continued; crabs the size of cartwheels and shrimp the size of washbasins appeared in droves, gathering in this area like an unparalleled tidal wave.

As for Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er, they had already finished catching seafood and made their escape. Apart from the rare blue tuna, which was considered high-end, the other seafood for their dinner tonight wasn't particularly high-end in the marine food chain; it was just that the blue tuna was relatively rare.

The two flew nearly twenty kilometers in one go, by which time the sun had already half sunk below the horizon.

"We're close enough, let's stop here!" Wu Xuan called out, then took out the Snow Emperor's external soul bone and the Cold Departure Sword from his soul tool.

Soul power was injected into the sword, and a cold light shot from the blade into the sea, instantly freezing a nearly forty-meter stretch of sea into a thick block of ice.

As Wu Xuan plunged the Cold Departure Sword into the block of ice formed from the ultimate ice, the originally frigid ice immediately lost its chill and became unremarkable.

Along with the ancient bluefin tuna and five or six other kinds of seafood, Wu Xuan took out several sacks of fresh sea salt.

Drifting on the high seas, cooking methods are very limited, so using sea salt naturally becomes the primary cooking method.

To ensure the seafood remains tender during salt grilling, the salt layer must be exceptionally thick. Considering the size of bluefin tuna, shrimp, and crab, the salt layer should be at least half a meter thick.

A layer of sea salt is laid at the bottom, and the seafood is cleaned and laid out on a grill made of rare metal, and then covered with another layer of sea salt.

As the fish oil under the grill was ignited, the intense flames instantly engulfed the seafood covered in sea salt.

The sunset glow, the boundless sea, and the seafood about to be cooked—this scene is so peaceful it seems unreal.

Having just finished processing the seafood, Wang Qiu'er couldn't help but stretch. Her long, loose, light blue hair swayed gently in the sea breeze, perfectly showcasing her shapely figure.

Looking at Wu Xuan beside her, Wang Qiu'er's eyelashes trembled slightly with each blink of her eyes. At this moment, the confusion had dissipated, and what remained was an unwavering determination. If things could always be like this, it wouldn't be so bad!

The fish oil extracted from ferocious sea spirit beasts contained terrifying energy, and when ignited by flames, it emitted an incredibly intense heat that was far beyond that of ordinary fuels. In less than a quarter of an hour, the blazing flames of the burning fish oil completely cooked the blue carp tuna and other seafood. "It's almost ready to eat!" As Wu Xuan stepped forward and cracked open the top layer of salt, the tender white flesh of the blue carp tuna was the first to be exposed to the air, and immediately, a rich and fragrant aroma wafted out.

Smelling the enticing aroma, Wang Qiu'er couldn't wait to step forward and tear off a large claw from a sea crab. The golden dragon girl squeezed it with both hands, and the sea crab's thick shell shattered. Blue carp tuna was the main dish, and the main dish should naturally be eaten last.

"Your skills have improved again." After finishing the crab claw in her hand, Wang Qiu'er wiped the corner of her mouth and couldn't help but give Wu Xuan a thumbs up.

"Hehe, maybe the cooking time was just right this time!" Wu Xuan said as he removed the heads and shells from the large shrimp in his hand, which was about the size of a washbasin, and began to enjoy his pleasant dinner.

Once these kinds of seafood leave the waters, it's hard to know when you'll be able to eat them again.

As they grew full, dinner came to an end. The two of them finished off the rest of the seafood, except for half of the blue tuna. Considering that half of a fish weighed five or six hundred pounds, you can imagine how big Wu Xuan and his companion's appetites were.

Just as Wu Xuan was about to put the remaining Blue Carp Tuna into his soul tool, a pure white dorsal fin appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance, heading straight towards him. There was only one dorsal fin, which was very conspicuous on the already dark sea.

Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er's gazes instantly sharpened, because they sensed a powerful aura emanating from this sea spirit beast, a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast.

Wu Xuan's mental energy was directly locked onto the sea spirit beast in front of him. It was a slender dolphin with a white body that presented a perfect streamline. Its body moved incredibly fast in the water, and in just a short while, it was less than a hundred meters away from the two of them.

Deep Blue Dolphin! A very kind sea creature that has never attacked humans before.

On the other side, Wang Qiu'er had already drawn her Golden Dragon Spear, clearly ready for battle. Wu Xuan raised his hand to stop Wang Qiu'er's action, because just now, he had received a message of goodwill from the deep blue dolphin through the spiritual energy it transmitted.

In just a second, the deep blue dolphin had arrived around the ice floe where the two were standing and began to circle around it.

"It smells so good! Could I have some, human?" A melodious female voice followed.

Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then found it both funny and exasperating. He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be about food!
Wu Xuan generously tossed the remaining half of the blue tuna to the deep blue dolphin. Since the dolphin seemed to have no ill intentions, he naturally didn't threaten it.

"Delicious, so delicious! I've never eaten food with so much energy!" After finishing the remaining half of the blue tuna in a few bites, the deep blue dolphin swam happily around the two of them.

"By the way, my name is Xiao Lan. From today onwards, we are good friends!" the deep blue dolphin said in a very familiar manner.
