Chapter 38: Soul-Guiding Sutra
Ning Xuan watched Chen Nan take out the things they used daily from the space button and put them in order. When Chen Nan was tidying up the refrigerator in the kitchen, he saw Ning Xuan looking at the stove. Chen Nan immediately turned over there, picked up the pot on the stove and put it aside, and introduced it to Ning Xuan, "Master, there are two earth fire bottles under these two pots, which can produce a constant supply of earth fire. It is very convenient to use!"
"What do you plan to eat for lunch? I brought a lot of the animal meats you like!" Chen Nan asked Ning Xuan with a smile.
"Where is the bag of plant roots that I bought from the mercenaries? Did you bring it?" Ning Xuan asked.
"I brought a little, but, Master, there are many varieties of similar plant roots in the Extreme Cold City!" Seeing that Ning Xuan was unhappy because he only brought a little, Chen Nan quickly added.
Chen Nan took out the brown, hard rhizomes covered with mud from the space button, placed them in the sink and washed them. He didn't know what Ning Xuan was going to do with these plant rhizomes, but since she asked, it meant they were useful. He could not make any mistakes if he did more work.
Ning Xuan watched him wash the plant roots and walked in. She weighed them in her hand, knocked them, and slammed them on the hard stove. With a "bang", Chen Nan took two steps back in fright. He wanted to run, but his calf cramped and he seemed unable to run!
"It has such a hard shell, but it's actually soft inside!" Ning Xuan peeled off the hard outer shell, revealing tender yellow flesh with a firm and dense texture.
Ning Xuan turned on the ground fire bottle, took out a thin frying pan, coated the bottom of the pan with a layer of oil, and put the tender yellow flesh on the pan to roast. The stove on the other side was not idle either. Ning Xuan found a few pieces of animal meat that she liked to eat and roasted them in the pan. Chen Nan had already placed the seasoning rack, and the seasonings she often used were placed on it. The sizzling sound of oil was heard, and soon the kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma. After about ten minutes, the tender yellow flesh became much more fluffy, and the surface turned into a crisp brown color. A unique sweet smell filled the air.
When Chen Nan smelled the scent, he couldn't help but drool. This scent was so tempting, he had never smelled it before!
Ning Xuan used a knife to cut off a small piece from the side, and the aroma inside was even more fragrant. "Come, try it! See if it's poisonous!" In Ning Xuan's judgment, the taste is similar to that of sweet potatoes on Earth, and should not be toxin-free.
Chen Nan obediently ate the food Ning Xuan handed to him. It was sweet and soft, with a delicate texture. It was a rare delicacy.
"Replying to the master, this food is non-toxic!" The spirit controller has sharp five senses, and Chen Nan can tell whether the food is poisonous without swallowing it!
To be honest, even the top-quality ingredients on an A-class star may not be as delicious as this kind of food. However, although this kind of food is non-toxic, it cannot provide the energy needed by the mutant body and is not of much benefit to the owner of the contract.
Ning Xuan also cut a small piece. Although the taste was not quite the same as the sweet potato she remembered, it was rare that there was no residue or fiber in it. It should taste even better if it was baked into dried fruit!
The problem that Chen Nan thought he couldn't replenish his mutant's energy was actually because his level was too high. From Ning Xuan's point of view, this kind of food could provide slightly more energy than the native plants produced on D-class stars. Of course, it was far inferior to the specialties on A-class stars.
After they had lunch, Chen Nan asked Ning Xuan if she wanted to go see the Earth Fire Alchemy Room. Ning Xuan looked at the wounded Chen Nan and asked, "Can you get out like this?"
"Yes, I know you want to improve your strength. The matter of the master is important!" Chen Nan felt that he would be safer when Ning Xuan was busy and couldn't take care of him.
Ning Xuan nodded. She was indeed very interested in the so-called underground fire resources here. Refining potions, especially special potions, required very high flames. She had used ordinary flames before, and the efficiency of refining potions was very low!
However, having said that, special flames are more difficult to control than ordinary flames, and Ning Xuan is not sure whether she can control the earth fire with her current level of mental control.
During this period, Ning Xuan practiced the Soul Sutra while using the Soul Guide Sutra to guide the special energy in her body to nourish the acupuncture points and blood! Since the last time she suddenly became agitated and her blood boiled, her blood suddenly produced a special energy similar to spiritual energy, which not only awakened the sleeping Ghost Face Red Vine, but also that special energy would appear in her blood from time to time. If it accumulated too much, she would feel a burning and boiling sensation in her body.
Ning Xuan tried to practice the "Spirit Inducing Sutra" to draw out the special energy in the blood, infusing it into the acupuncture points and meridians, which actually alleviated the burning and boiling feeling.
"The Sutra of Inducing Spirits" is a practice method in the world of cultivation that allows one to introduce external spiritual energy into the body. There is no spiritual energy in this world, and it was originally thought that it was impossible to practice, but unexpectedly, it could be used in this way.
The underground fire alchemy room is not far from Chen Nan's house. It is built underground. From the outside, it looks like a small door that can only accommodate two people passing through at the same time. Behind the door is an elevator leading to the underground.
"Master, it's very hot down there. Let me help you take off your cloak and thermal suit!" Chen Nan said respectfully.
The elevator was moving very fast. Ning Xuan could already feel the change in temperature outside. Since they were all wearing outer clothes, she did not refuse Chen Nan's service. After she changed her clothes, the elevator stopped.
Ning Xuan stepped out of the elevator, and was hit in the face by a scorching hot breath. Under this scorching stimulation, the speed at which her blood produced special energy seemed to be accelerating!
It is said that every spirit controller's supernatural body has different attributes. Judging from the reaction of her blood, maybe the supernatural body that is about to awaken is of fire attribute?
"Brother Chen, why are you in the Earth Fire Room? Are you looking for a pharmacist?" A male spirit controller in his 20s saw Chen Nan and came over to say hello.
Before Chen Nan answered him, he looked at Ning Xuan, scratched his head embarrassedly, and grinned, "Brother Chen, I have never seen this girl before. Is this your first time in the Extreme Cold City?"
"Master, his name is Qu Jieyou. He is a permanent resident here and is very familiar with this place. If you have any questions, you can ask him!"
"Jieyou, this is my contracted master, you can call her Miss Ning!" Chen Nan introduced the two people.
Qu Jieyou opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Brother Chen, you actually made a pact, you're not... you, you're injured?"
Chen Nan had applied medicine to the wound on his face and changed his clothes, so at first glance you couldn't tell. However, there was still blood on his body, and the wound on the back of his hand that was pierced by the vine had not completely healed. Qu Jieyou could see it as soon as he got closer.
