Xu Milu was drowning in debt. After obtaining a dimensional travel system, she embarked on an irreversible path of selling interdimensional ingredients across the universe.
She hawks pearls f...
The cauldron was clearly no ordinary object. It had a round belly and a wide mouth, with three legs standing upright, each leg depicting a three-headed golden crow. The body of the cauldron was engraved with the Yin-Yang Bagua, with black and white colors clearly distinct. Upon closer inspection, one could see the two colors slowly rotating. The mouth of the cauldron was wide open, and it had a gourd-shaped lid on top. Although it was called a large cauldron, it was more like an alchemy furnace.
It looks somewhat familiar.
Everyone says that the Kun is so big that it can't fit in one pot, so we had to roast half of it and stew the other half.
Similarly, the earth dragon was so large that it couldn't be cooked in one pot. Fortunately, Nezha brought his own cooking utensils and borrowed a cauldron from somewhere for Xu Milu to cook.
In the magical world, magical beasts are also an important source of meat, and earth dragon meat is a delicacy, known as the "closest to dragon meat in taste". Even William, who was once a nobleman, still longed for it.
Earth dragons are numerous, but their meat is very precious. This is because these magical beasts only live deep in the dark forest. Although they do not actively attack humans, their enormous size and gregarious nature make them generally difficult to capture.
Before returning from the magical plane, Ah Chou encountered a large group of earth dragons deep in the forest. Under Xu Milu's influence, the giant tortoise learned to eat and take, and after eating hundreds of earth dragons, it drove the remaining group back to the magical beast ranch to be raised freely with the slimes.
Today, Xu Milu is going to cook one of the items she put in the blind box as a prize. Coincidentally, it was taken by Nezha. Unfortunately, he still remembers that he failed to collect all six stamps at the banquet because he was drunk. Xu Milu has no choice but to take on the after-sales service without complaint.
—The earth dragon looks exactly like a tailless dinosaur, with a shape very similar to the Brachiosaurus. It has a long, thin neck that is more than four meters long, a large body, and short, strong limbs below its abdomen. When cut open, its skeletal framework is very similar to that of a bird, with a central axial skeleton on its back for support.
Although it was Xu Milu's first time butchering earthworm meat, her movements were very skillful. The mithril-forged cleaver sliced through the thick gray animal hide, cutting into it as easily as cutting tofu, revealing the white, jade-like bones. After a few more cuts, the bones separated from the large chunks of meat.
"Chirp... chirp."
The greasy chunks of meat make a sticky, squishy sound when you squeeze them. Xu Milu doesn't even need to worry about the oil stains on the ground; the slime responsible for cleaning the backyard will eat the excess oil.
"Is this an 'earth dragon'? Could it also be a type of dragon?"
Nezha, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, floated in mid-air watching Xu Milu perform an autopsy. Far from being disgusted, he was quite interested.
"The dragon has nine sons, each different from the other. There are countless dragon species in the world. I wonder which spirit this one was born from with the old dragon king."
Xu Milu paused for a moment:
"...I don't think this thing has anything to do with Mo Xuan's father. Besides, if you keep saying that, I won't be able to bring myself to do it."
If the earth dragon is truly related to the Eastern dragon, then she will never be able to look Mo Xuan in the eye again.
Eastern dragons are so majestic, what kind of domineering genes must they possess to produce a Western dragon that looks like a lizard?
"Use spare ribs for braising, lean meat for meatballs and wontons, and fatty meat for pan-frying. Use the fattiest cuts for steamed buns and dumplings—do you still want the neck, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs, and limbs?"
Xu Milu straightened up and rubbed her lower back. The earth dragon weighed two tons. Although she was a powerful demon, she was still mentally exhausted after squatting there all morning, mechanically repeating actions like "cutting, cutting".
Nezha was originally a lotus root child, and apart from sweets, he didn't have much of a craving for food. Therefore, as long as the bones remained:
"No need. Just leave me the skull and skeleton of this strange beast. My bedroom is missing a piece of furniture. I'll take it back and have it polished and put in the room. It'll be quite interesting to look at."
"If you don't want it, I'll use this cauldron to braise it all at once while the fire is still high. If it weren't for the cauldron you found, I really don't have a pot this big to stew it in my shop."
Xu Milu recited a mnemonic, and the large pieces of earthworm pork ribs she had cut lined up and "jumped" into the boiling water. Although she had tried her best, each piece of rib was still about the size of a palm. After cooking one pot, she used four large basins of scallions and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell.
At this point, Nezha suddenly raised an eyebrow, a subtle mischievousness appearing on his usually expressionless face:
"This cauldron is not mine. I borrowed it from Laozi's alchemy room. In the entire Heavenly Court, only Laozi has such a large cauldron. When I went there, the fire in the cauldron had gone out, leaving only some dregs of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in the furnace. I think it should be fine, and it won't kill anyone if you eat it."
Xu Milu: "..."
She seemed to know why the cauldron looked so familiar.
The alchemy furnace that Laozi used to refine elixirs was the same Bagua alchemy furnace that Laozi used to refine Sun Wukong with Samadhi True Fire, wasn't it?
So here's the question: if immortals are refining elixirs... do they wash the pots?
If she doesn't wash it, wouldn't that mean she's using the bathwater that Sun Wukong used to stew meat?
When she is discovered, will she be beaten by Laozi, or by her master, or perhaps by a combination of both?
Nezha ruined me!!!
Xu Milu burst into tears and, trembling, gave Nezha a thumbs-up:
"As expected of you."
Nezha changed his posture while riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, looking exceptionally relaxed:
"Don't worry. I once saw the boy who guarded the alchemy furnace using the fire in the furnace to roast fish. Now I'm just borrowing it for a short time. I don't think Laozi will mind. 'A day in heaven is a year on earth.' You can return it after you've used it. Besides, I left a note saying 'Borrowing the cauldron for a short time,' and it's in my father's name. So you can put your mind at ease."
