Entry copying begins with kidnapping Wang Yuyan

Once ashore, the group found an open space by the lake, which became their picnic spot.

Youcao diligently gathered the dried reeds, while Bai Axiu took out her tinderbox and suddenly said, "My tinderbox seems to have gone out. Miss, do you have a tinderbox with you?"

Youcao was taken aback: "I didn't bring it."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Without fire, wouldn't they have to eat raw fish?

Raw fish is something that people either love to death or can't swallow a single bite of.

Li Mo had an idea and said, "Alright, I'll light the fire."

With a flick of the finger, a spark rose from the reed and then burst into flames.

Shi Xiaocui's eyes narrowed, and she thought to herself, "This is the Formless Finger of Calamity. Legend has it that the person whose finger is in the middle will have a charred black wound, as if burned. This young hero has short hair; could he be a recently ordained Shaolin monk?"

Wang Yuyan was secretly alarmed and glanced at Li Mo in surprise.

The Formless Finger Technique is indeed a pure Yang finger technique, but it is not a Flame Finger Technique, so it cannot easily ignite flames.

Little did she know that this was not simply the Formless Finger Technique, but rather a wondrous application of the power of ultimate yang combined with the finger technique of the Formless Finger Technique.

Li Mo averted his gaze from the firelight and quickly began processing the fish, thinking to himself, "The combined power of supreme Yang and the Formless Calamity Finger—if this were to strike a person, it wouldn't just feel like being burned alive, but truly like their internal organs being consumed by flames! It's too brutal!"

With his unparalleled comprehension, he was incredibly fast. Although he had never killed a fish before, he processed it faster than a seasoned expert. With a burst of true energy, the fish's scales fell off like snowflakes. With a flick of his finger across the fish's belly, he gutted it, removing the internal organs and the black membrane. The entire process was fluid and graceful.

Bai Axiu admired the fish in her heart, took it, skewered it on a tree branch, and put it on a grill to start cooking.

The eight fish were cleaned in two minutes and placed on the fire.

Li Mo took one and gently twirled it.

Suddenly, I remembered my previous use of the power of Yang.

"The power of pure Yang burns away all Yin poison. If one's internal energy is manipulated with exquisite precision, could the fishy smell be completely burned away?"

At that time, the fish will only have a fresh taste, without any fishy smell, and will be absolutely delicious.

With eight fish, one for each person and some left over, Li Mo activated his innate true energy and tried out the fish in his hand.

With his palm covering the fish's body an inch away, his true energy was transmitted through the air.

Soon after, a burning smell wafted over.

Everyone looked over and saw that the grilled fish in Li Mo's hand had turned into charcoal.

Youcao called out softly, "My son-in-law doesn't know how to grill fish, let me do it!"

"It's nothing, I'm just trying something out." Li Mo waved his hand, picked up another fish, and tried it carefully.

Soon, the fish turned to charcoal again and was thrown into the fire by Li Mo.

Li Mo closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought: 'The power of extreme Yang is too domineering. I can suppress it within my own body, but it's not so easy to do it with a fish.'

As the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly remembered the Lesser Formless Skill.

This technique can simulate various martial arts methods, and its control over true qi and internal force is extremely refined, far surpassing that of ordinary martial arts methods.

If the Lesser Formless Skill is used to manipulate the power of ultimate yang, the success rate of the plan will be very high.

He took another fish and poured his pure Yang energy into it while grilling.

This time, the grilled fish was exactly the same, but in his keen sense of smell, the fishy smell gradually disappeared.

After a moment, the whole fish had only a fresh taste, without a trace of fishiness.

"It's a success!"

Yu Cao asked curiously, "What succeeded?"

Li Mo held the fish up to Youcao's face and asked, "Can you still smell the fish?"

Youcao sniffed the air, a look of disbelief on her face: "This fish doesn't smell fishy at all? How did you do that, young master?"

"It's just some uses of true qi." He looked at Bai Axiu and said, "Miss Bai, may I borrow your seasoning?"

Because the journey was short, Youcao and Wang Yuyan did not bring any seasonings.

Therefore, the seasoning used for grilling the fish was brought by Bai Axiu and Shi Xiaocui.

Bai Axiu handed over the seasonings: "Please help yourself, brother."

Li Mo took it and, following his keen senses, sprinkled the seasoning on it.

People in the martial arts world don't carry many seasonings with them, just salt, soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, and ginger, but that's enough to season fish that has been deodorized.

Li Mo only took salt and soy sauce, spread them evenly on the surface, put the fire back on, and used his true energy to accelerate the cooking.

Since the pure Yang energy can roast fish into charcoal, it can naturally cook it as well.

It's just quite extravagant.

With the precise manipulation of the Lesser Formless Skill, a three-pound fish can be prepared in no time.

The grilled fish is golden brown on the surface, without any charring, and an enticing aroma wafts out.

Li Mo handed the fish to Youcao and said, "Put it on a plate, I'll grill a few more."

Youcao took the fish, her eyes blinking, and inhaled the aroma a few times before placing it on the plate.

Li Mo took the two grilled fish, one in each hand, and in a short while, the remaining five fish were all grilled.

"It smells so good, son-in-law! This simple grilled fish tastes amazing! It's incredible!"

Born in Mantuo Manor, Youcao had eaten good food before, but at this moment, she was attracted by this simple taste and her mouth watered.

Li Mo waved his hand: "Alright, everyone, let's eat. The fish won't taste good if it gets cold."

At Li Mo's command, everyone picked up a fish and began to eat.

Shi Xiaocui used two clean reeds to peel off the fish skin, revealing the snow-white and crystal-clear fish flesh. Instantly, a wisp of white smoke rose from the fish flesh, and an even more enticing aroma rose up.

The word "delicious" seems to have become concrete.

Picking up a piece of snow-white fish meat and putting it in my mouth, a sweet and delicate sensation washes over me. A wonderful wave of energy surges through my entire body, making my pores open and my spirits soothe me. Even my injuries show signs of improvement.

"This fish is only found in heaven; how often can one see it on earth?" Shi Xiaocui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "I've heard that there are many famous chefs in the world who can make many exquisite dishes. But I've never heard of anyone who can make such a delicious dish with such a simple fish."

Li Mo smiled and said, "You flatter me."

Bai Axiu smiled, clearly captivated by the delicious food: "Brother, you're too modest. Such skill is simply astonishing."

Youcao chimed in, "Yes, son-in-law, this is simply the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life."

Wang Yuyan sipped the food slowly and said, "I never imagined that true qi could have such wonderful uses. If Li Lang used this skill to open a restaurant, it would surely be packed with customers, and he could earn at least several thousand taels of silver a year."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately lost interest: "Then forget it."

He could easily earn several thousand taels of silver by painting a few pictures, but running a restaurant would take a whole year, which he was unwilling to do.

Bai Axiu chuckled: "A master like my elder brother naturally doesn't have time to go to restaurants."

Youcao scoffed, "Exactly, Miss really dares to dream."

Faced with such delicious food, everyone devoured the fish in no time, leaving only complete fish bones.

Even Wang Yuyan ate several pounds of fish in this meal.

The allure of delicious food is truly undeniable!

Fearing Youcao's ridicule, she discreetly tossed the fishbone into the lake. Just as she was about to speak, Li Mo said, "Someone's coming this way, about a dozen people, and they're from the martial arts world!"
