Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 376 Are you trying to help me open up my acupoints, or are you trying to scald me to death?
"How do you know so much about the Tang Clan?"

"You are the librarian, Director Tao!"

Following the sound, Tang Ya and Tang Wutong looked around and their eyes fell on Su Ran, who was taking a leisurely stroll.

This librarian, who either sleeps in the library or wanders around like a street urchin, actually knows about cultivation techniques.
"I have met Director Tao. Do you know how to clear our blocked meridians?"

Huo Yuhao may not have much else, but he has a great attitude. He seizes every opportunity that comes his way, and each time he gets a chance to succeed.

Even with Su Ran's level of cultivation, one could see the dense aura surging around him at a glance.

Ten thousand years ago, Su Ran would have made this kid kneel down and become his disciple no matter what.

But now...

Su Ran's mindset became calmer, and she was no longer in a hurry.

Even if this kid is allowed to take his time, he can become a powerful figure on his own merits. Without Tang Shenwang blocking his way, he can achieve great things even if he goes to the God Realm. He won't have to be a dog for his father-in-law anymore.

However, this Tang Wutong actually came into being and was even sent to Shrek Academy to study, which is quite interesting.

Maybe it can unlock a few apprentice recruitment guides.

Su Ran pulled Xiao Haoyue back and said calmly:
"Unblocking the meridians is a piece of cake. Even widening the meridians in your body tenfold wouldn't be difficult."

"Wow! Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he stared at Su Ran in shock.

Ten times? Ten times!
"Master Tao, so you are a peerless master!"

"Pah! What kind of unparalleled master? He's just bragging! You country bumpkin, you actually believe him?"

Tang Wutong was speechless:
"Expanding your meridians tenfold is something even a Limit Douluo can't do. If you succeed, it would be enough to allow you to break through to the Soul Saint realm at level 50 or 60, or even level 60 or 70. How could anyone possibly do that?"

Tang Ya had initially held onto hope, after all, this was the best Soul Master Academy on the entire continent, and encountering a master wasn't impossible. However, this librarian's claim of having ten times the number of meridians seemed far too unreliable.

"Exactly, Director Tao, what you're saying is way too exaggerated. Why do you always like to brag?"

Su Ran smiled faintly and said, "I never brag."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you girls anymore, it's pointless."

“My little pet is a bit hungry. If you can make something delicious to make Xiao Haoyue happy, I might actually help you clear your meridians.”

Su Ran patted Haoyue's little head and said.

Haoyue's eyes darted around: "Hey, Master, you wanted to eat it yourself, didn't you? Why are you blaming me!"
"Hey, Director Tao, you're still trying to freeload?"

Tang Ya looked Su Ran around. She had been studying at Shrek Academy for several years and had been to the library several times, but she hadn't discovered any great abilities in this 'ordinary' librarian.
"Delicious? I can cook some dishes, and I can also grill fish. Teacher Xiaoya and Senior Brother Bei have both praised it as delicious. I just don't know where in the academy there is a place to grill fish and where to find the ingredients. Director Tao, would you like to try my grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao was quite proactive and spoke up.

"The little guy knows how to respect his teachers and elders, that's good."

Su Ran gave Huo Yuhao an appreciative look.

I've heard that Huo Yuhao's grilled fish is loved by everyone and has conquered the stomachs of countless girls. After waiting for ten thousand years, Su Ran also wants to see if this kid's grilled fish is really delicious.

"Girl, what about you? He provides the cooking skills, or you can provide the fish?"

"If you're unwilling to invest, you can't open up the acupoints."

Hearing this, Tang Ya's face was full of reluctance, but she still pouted and said:
"I'm going to buy fish, alright? If you can't clear your Xuan Tian meridians, just wait, hmph!"

Tang Ya gave Su Ran a haughty snort, then walked towards the West Gate of the academy's grey market with her hands on her hips.

"Little Haoyue, go back and wait for the fish to eat."

Su Ran smiled faintly and led Xiao Haoyue toward the library.

Xiao Haoyue twisted her neck and glanced at the young man with a somewhat speechless expression:
Master, I am the god of divine retribution, not a dog!
Why do you treat me like a dog every day?
If those in the know find out, I've lost all face and dignity!

"Xiao Xiao, let's go take a look!"

Tang Wutong pulled Xiao Xiao along, wanting to see if this 'Master Tao' could actually help her two Tang Clan underlings clear their blocked meridians.

Following behind Su Ran, Tang Wutong carefully examined his figure, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes:

Although this librarian seems like an ordinary person, there is a sense of returning to simplicity and leisurely ease in his movements.

Xiao Xiao scratched her head and said to Tang Wutong:
"Wu Tong, it's our first day of school. Staying up too late isn't good, we have class early tomorrow morning."

"It's just grilling a fish, it won't take long, right?"

"Well... okay, I was just thinking of having grilled fish too." *Gulp*
Xiao Xiao's tummy made a soft noise, and her face turned slightly red, feeling a little embarrassed.

……

Behind the Shrek Academy library is a simple courtyard with only two small houses and an adjacent vegetable garden.

At midnight, a wisp of smoke rose from the courtyard. Huo Yuhao sat in front of a simple charcoal grill, skillfully skewering fish onto willow branches and arranging them neatly on the grill.

Flames rose as he deftly flipped the fish, sprinkling on seasonings with fluid, graceful movements. As the grilling continued, the fish skin gradually turned golden and crispy, the oil sizzling under the high temperature, and the aroma wafting through the air.

Xiao Xiao and Tang Wutong were both so tempted by the aroma that they swallowed hard.

Only the languid Peach Pavilion Master, reclining quietly in his chair, said indifferently:

"Make it even crispier."

My little pet gets fish bones stuck in its throat easily.

Su Ran gently rubbed Haoyue's little head on the back of her hand.

Haoyue's eyes were filled with great confusion:

When did I become afraid of fish bones?

I would swallow even raw fish whole.

If you dare, let me manifest my true form. I'll swallow any 100,000-year-old fish in this world without hesitation. If I get a fishbone stuck in my throat, I'll admit defeat!
"Having fish grilled in the middle of the night, and with so many demands," Tang Ya said speechlessly.

Huo Yuhao, being good-natured, kept nodding in agreement.
"Okay, I'll try to bake it as crispy as possible."

Su Ran didn't take it to heart, and instead said:
Good things come to those who wait, and good things come to those who are not afraid of being expensive. If you want to learn something thoroughly, you shouldn't be afraid to make demands.

"What Director Tao said seems to make sense." Huo Yuhao scratched his head, half understanding.

Tang Ya felt a little guilty and muttered, "Nonsense."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao even activated his Spirit Eye's first soul skill, Mental Detection, to ensure the best quality of the grilled fish. He then promptly stopped and handed the first fish to Su Ran.
"Manager, it's done baking, here you go."

Then, Haoyue gave a small fish to Su Ran's little lizard, and Haoyue hugged the dried fish and lay down at Su Ran's feet to nibble on it.

Then Huo Yuhao grilled several more fish and gave them to Tang Ya, Tang Wutong, and Xiao Xiao respectively.

Su Ran put the grilled fish into her mouth, and immediately a barbecue aroma wafted into her nostrils. When she bit into it, there was a slight crisping sound from the fish skin, followed by the tender fish meat, which burst open with golden juices and was very flavorful.

"Not bad, it's quite delicious."

Soon, Su Ran finished the grilled fish. Su Ran was very picky about eating fish, only eating the freshest and most delicious parts. He didn't eat the head, internal organs, or bones. So, he could only eat two or three bites of a fish.

Then came the second, the third...

Tang Ya and Tang Wutong were completely stunned.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're still eating? That's such a waste! You only eat two bites of a grilled fish and then throw it away?!"

"And you ate so many grilled fish, yet you didn't mention a single thing about clearing your meridians."

Tang Ya was on the verge of tears:
"Xiao Yuhao, you see? I told you the curator was unreliable. We grilled for nothing and wasted our money."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head:
"Teacher Xiaoya, please don't say that. I'm happy that Director Tao likes to eat my grilled fish."

"However, Director Tao, if you really have a way to unblock the meridians, please help Teacher Xiaoya."

"I was fine when I was cultivating, but Teacher Xiaoya's meridians are so blocked."

Huo Yuhao pleaded with Su Ran, saying that Teacher Xiaoya had saved his life after all, and he naturally didn't want to see her meridians rupture, since she had a sliver of hope.

"As the saying goes, children from poor families mature early, and you are quite sensible."

"Alright, I'll break this rule just for the sake of your grilled fish."

Su Ran calmly stood up, wiped her hands, pulled a red-hot iron tongs from the charcoal fire, and pointed it at Tang Ya.

Tang Ya was so frightened that she jumped back more than ten meters, her face pale with fright.

"Director Tao, what are you doing?"

Su Ran said calmly, "Didn't you want to unblock your meridians?"

"My God, are you trying to help me relieve my pressure points, or are you trying to scald me to death?!"

Tang Ya stared at the red-hot iron clamps, her eyes filled with fear: "I don't want treatment anymore, I don't want treatment anymore!"

This is hardly a meridian-clearing exercise.

They're trying to scald me!
