Upon hearing this, Xiao Huo naturally knew what the master was referring to.
Once, Xiao Huo told the master about how he was forced to sign a contract by a man on a strange river.
However, he only ntioned the contract and didn’t reveal that he had traveled from another world.
Because such matters, even the master cannot be told, only he himself can know.
....
"But master, didn’t you also investigate this? This world doesn’t have the river I ntioned."
Actually, in Xiao Huo’s heart, he felt that the experience was likely just an illusion during the crossing, sowhat dreamy.
"Even though this world doesn’t have it, it doesn’t an it doesn’t exist."
The soul within the ring spoke.
"You haven’t told yet, what was the contract he signed with you?"
The soul continued asking.
"Ten treasures."
"And he said, once I’ve made sothing of myself, he would personally co to collect the debt."
Xiao Huo spread his hands and said.
The soul was silent for a while before solemnly saying, "Then you better be prepared."
"Better to believe it than not."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huo also pondered for a mont, nodded, and said, "Alright, I’m actually planning to be prepared."
"Though I’m not a great person, at least I should uphold integrity."
....
"Let’s go, let’s leave this place first."
"Okay."
...
Su Mu eyed the big carp on the ground in front of him, rubbing his hands with a look of delight.
A Treasure Fish, one must know how to enjoy it.
Otherwise, it would be a great waste.
The carp, large in size, flat-sided, with flesh considered tender among fish, was a favorite catch of Su Mu’s in the past, whether it was delicious or not, it was surely thrilling to haul it in!
Regarding the preparation of carp, Su Mu had a lot to say!
First, heat the pot with cold oil, sprinkle a thin layer of salt over the pot’s surface, and fry the cut fish pieces until golden brown on both sides.
Then prepare dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and fry them with scallion segnts and garlic cloves until fragrant, adding so bean paste and hot pot base if available for more flavor.
Add the fried fish pieces, pour in so boiling water to cover the fish pieces, simr on low heat, add half a scoop of dark soy sauce, one scoop of oyster sauce, and a pinch of salt.
Cover the pot and increase the heat to reduce the sauce, finally garnishing with a sprinkle of spring onion!
This spicy carp dish is thus completed!
...
However, there weren’t many modern seasonings available for Su Mu here.
So, Su Mu planned to make a simple version of boiled carp.
With a wave of his hand, a large, pitch-black iron pot appeared in front of him. This wasn’t an ordinary iron pot; it was a treasure Su Mu obtained through a lottery recently.
It’s worth ntioning that he only used a few Favor Points to get it!
....
This iron pot was called the "Turtle Pattern Pot," which, after his testing, proved to be very sturdy, perfect for use as a boiling pot.
After setting up the iron pot.
Su Mu took out his old partner, the Silver Dagger.
He found this by the riverbank, and although it had a couple of small nicks, it was extrely handy, better than those Treasure Swords and Treasure Knives he obtained.
The main thing is, it’s sharp!
A knife only has to be sharp.
Su Mu easily sliced open the belly of the carp with the Silver Dagger.
It had to be said that this carp was genuinely large and heavy, the entrails alone probably weighed thousands of pounds.
The fish’s entrails, Su Mu wouldn’t eat them, but he didn’t want to waste them either, as it was a rare Treasure Fish.
Standing on the riverbank, Su Mu released a Spirit Summon.
The next second, Little Mahi and Kong Yao ca to the riverbank.
He threw the fish’s entrails into the water, saying, "Eat up, it’s good stuff."
Upon saying this, Little Mahi and Kong Yao began to scramble, nearly getting into a fight.
Seeing this, Su Mu furrowed his brows and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what did I say last ti?! Coexist peacefully! Don’t fight, there’s plenty."
With those words, Little Mahi and Kong Yao stopped scrambling and greedily devoured the Treasure Carp’s innards.
These innards seed like supre delicacies, making them gobble and bubble with fervor.
.....
Su Mu left a small portion because there was another little guy.
He headed to the small pond he made out of pebbles, and the tiny crab had already grown to the size of a palm.
Its shell had a glazed blue hue, and its two claws were quite large, almost half its body size, quite intimidating.
Su Mu crouched down, throwing a piece of innard into the pond.
"Eat up."
The next second, the small crab grasped the innard and began eating.
Having done all this, Su Mu stood up; his pets were fed, now it was ti to prepare his own dinner.
....
It must be said, Su Mu had a knack with knives; the fish at he sliced was perfectly square, and he even removed every fine fishbone.
This carp yielded three hundred and thirty perfectly square pieces of fish.
The pot was also heated.
Due to limited ingredients, Su Mu decided not to make spicy carp today, just a simple boiled fish fillet.
Su Mu perford the Water Control Divine Technique, waved his hand, diverting so river water into the iron pot.
Since cooking so many Treasure Fish, Su Mu discovered a trick.
That is, using the river water to cook the fish, they cook quickly without needing to boil for days and nights, just about ten minutes and they’re done.
Su Mu added over a hundred pieces of fish, saving the rest for next ti.
He then activated his Cultivation Technique, using the Spiritual Fire to heat the pot.
Just like that, in less than five minutes, a rich exotic aroma filled the air.
Slling it, Su Mu’s eyes lit up. From this aroma, he could tell this fish was definitely premium, a great tonic!
Then, Su Mu rembered sothing.
With a wave of his hand, a piece of Flesh Oracle appeared in his palm, which he collected as river toll a few months ago.
Using the Silver Dagger, he sliced a piece the size of a fingernail and tossed it into the pot.
It’s not that Su Mu was stingy, but only this much could be eaten at a ti!
He recalled the first ti he ate it, he took a big bite, nearly costing him his life, as the Vital Blood Force within was overwhelmingly powerful.
Once the Flesh Oracle went in, the clear water turned dark red instantly, releasing an overwhelming Vital Blood Force mixed with the fish aroma, making one’s mouth water at the sll!
A great tonic indeed!
Su Mu sat down cross-legged, stabbed a piece of fish at with the dagger, brought it to his mouth, and took a big bite.
His eyes widened instantly!
So... fragrant.
With three quick bites, he devoured the large piece of fish.
As the fish at went down, he felt warmth in his stomach, and the abundant energy coursed through his ridians, spreading throughout his body.
As he ate, Su Mu bit into sothing hard while chewing on a piece of fish.
Almost broke his old teeth.
"What is this thing?"
Su Mu looked at the object before him in confusion.
