A very old green onion?
Was there even a need to guess? She was obviously talking about Lady Onion.
Speaking of which, the last time Song Shuhang ate Lady Onion's sprout, he almost died.
The worst thing was that he ended up dreaming of Lady Onion's life experience for that very reason. After that, he was forced to live for several hundred years as a green onion that kept swaying in the wind. Whenever he recalled that dream, Shuhang felt very aggrieved.
At that time, he was lucky that Daoist Priest Cloudy Mist of the 'Penniless Thief Sect' was nearby and used his 'Emptying Miracle Hands' to take Lady Onion's sprout out of his stomach, transforming it into an onion spirit crystal.
Even now that crystal was still inside his size-reducing purse.
Thereupon, Song Shuhang nodded and said, "I indeed ate a special green onion in the past."
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, "No wonder there is such a strong smell of green onion coming from your body."
"..." Song Shuhang.
Fairy maiden, you are surely misunderstanding! The reason my body smells like a green onion isn't that I ate one. It's because Lady Onion's body melted and mixed with the hot water while I was a taking a medicinal bath inside a golden coffin... afterward, I was cooked up for a while within the coffin and ended up having this smell, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
However, these past events were very painful to recall, and it was better not to mention them.
Yu Jiaojiao, who was sitting on Song Shuhang's shoulder, chuckled. She knew the story of Song Shuhang and the green onion oil.
"Right. Little Fellow Daoist, do you still have the leftovers of that green onion?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue asked at this time.
"I think I have them," Song Shuhang said. That onion spirit crystal was precisely a leftover. In addition, Lady Onion had grown a new sprout.
Cough, of course, he wouldn't go as far as cutting off Lady Onion's sprout. After all, she was an onion spirit with intelligence that could even assume human form.
"Eh? You really have it?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue had just thoughtlessly asked that question. Her main objective was to chat with Song Shuhang a little and familiarize herself with him so that she could ask him about Venerable White later.
She hadn't expected that Song Shuhang really had the leftovers of that several hundred years old green onion with him. Immortal chefs always liked unusually old seasonings.
Thereupon, Immortal Fairy Bie Xue asked, "Little Fellow Daoist, are you interested in carrying out a transaction for that green onion leftover?"
"Eh? Yes, I am. After all, there is no point in me keeping it... however, its somewhat strange," Song Shuhang said.
After saying this much, he stretched out his hand and put it inside his clothes, taking out a dark-green crystal out of his size-reducing purse and handing it over to Immortal Fairy Bie Xue.
"How come it's in a crystallized form?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue took the crystal and started to inspect it.
There was no mistaking. It was a 300-400 years old green onion that had turned into an onion spirit. In addition, its size was also remarkable. From the looks of it, almost the whole green onion had melted and crystallized. If she could obtain this crystal and refine it through various methods, it would last for several years!
After thinking up to this point, Immortal Fairy Bie Xue smiled at Song Shuhang and said, "Little friend, is there something you want in particular?"
She would try to satisfy Song Shuhang's requests to the best of her ability to give Venerable White some face.
"Something I want in particular?" Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and said, "There is indeed something I would really like to have, but I have no idea of its true value or confidence in getting it."
"Just say it. I'll appraise it for you," Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said with a smile.
"It's the blood of demodragon," Song Shuhang replied. His weak constitution was a big problem for him for the current him. Only the 'demodragon medicine' obtained from the blood of a demodragon could quickly solve this problem for him.
"The blood of demodragon? For what reason do you need it?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue curiously looked at Song Shuhang. Then, she smiled gently.
Now she understood the reason for the request. After all, although Shuhang's constitution was very strong for a cultivator of the Second Stage Realm, the true qi inside his body was rich and abundant. In addition, the place between his eyebrows was faintly giving off a bronze radiance. It was a sign that his mental energy had reached the Third Stage rank.
In short, although his constitution was strong, his mental energy and true qi were even stronger. As such, he was trying his best to find a way to increase the strength of his constitution even further and maintain a balance between the three.
Additionally, if 'blood of demodragon' and constitution were mentioned in the same line, there could be only one reason!
"Do you plan to prepare the demodragon medicine?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue asked with a smile.
"Yes," Song Shuhang said with a nod. There was no need to hide the truth. A senior cultivator needed but a glance to discern the state of his body.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have the blood of demodragon, either... In addition, the blood of demodragon is much more valuable than this green onion crystal."
The blood of demodragon was a hundred times more valuable than the green onion crystal. As if that wasn't enough, the blood of demodragon could be found only through sheer luck and not by searching for it. No demodragon had made its appearance for a very long time already. As such, the value of its blood had increased even further.
Song Shuhang sighed and nodded his head. However, he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he had already anticipated such an outcome.
But right at this time, Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, "Although I don't have the blood of demodragon with me, I can still offer you a very good deal. I can prepare an immortal dish for you. Although its effects won't be as good as the demodragon medicine, it should still be able to increase the strength of your constitution up to the limit of the Second Stage."
Immortal dishes prepared by an immortal chef had all sorts of benefits.
However, the effects of an immortal dish that an ordinary immortal chef had prepared were limited.
When Song Shuhang was staying at Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's place, the immortal dishes he got to eat there had the same effects of one round of the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯.
Of course, it was also because the immortal chefs staying at Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's place didn't go all out. After all, it was just an ordinary meal.
But the veiled woman before his eyes said that she could increase the strength of his constitution by two, three small realms!
Who was this fairy maiden?
Speaking of which, Song Shuhang noticed that he had been really rude just now. Since he had started chatting with the veiled woman, he hadn't asked for her name, neither he had bothered introducing himself.
Thereupon, he introduced himself and said, "Fairy maiden, I'm Song Shuhang. Can I know your name?"
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue smiled and replied, "Everyone calls me Bie Xue. You can call me the same... we immortal chefs are different from ordinary cultivators, and we don't have an official dao name."
"Fairy Bie Xue?" Song Shuhang found the name somewhat familiar.
Wait a moment... Immortal Fairy Bie Xue?
"The Immortal Feast?!" Song Shuhang blurted out.
"You heard about the Immortal Feast? Oh, it's not that surprising, actually," Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said gently. This youngster had a good relationship with Venerable White. Therefore, there was a chance he had heard about the Immortal Feast from Venerable White.
"Yes, I've heard about Immortal Fairy Bie Xue's Immortal Feast from a senior. Truly a hard-to-come-by banquet. I know many seniors that are trying their best to find an opportunity to attend the Immortal Feast," Song Shuhang said.
Song Shuhang hadn't expected that he would get to meet Immortal Fairy Bie Xue even before Su Clan's Seven brought him to the Immortal Feast. What a coincidence!
Nevertheless, did every important person have some kind of special hobby nowadays?
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue's Immortal Feast was well-known in the whole world of cultivators, and a lot of people would fight to the death to get an invite. After all, whenever one had an opportunity to eat at the Immortal Feast, their constitution would strengthen, their strength would increase, and if they were lucky enough, they might even break through a small realm while eating the dishes!
But who would have expected that the legendary Immortal Fairy Bie Xue would come to a fish-head shop in the Jiangnan area and quietly start selling meat sandwiches?
After hearing Song Shuhang's words, Immortal Fairy Bie Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled.
From her point of view, it was Venerable White that had told Song Shuhang this information. In short, Venerable White had indirectly praised her.
As such, she was very happy after listening to Shuhang's words.
If someone's mood was particularly good, they would become very generous.
"In that case, do you wish to carry out this transaction with me?" Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said with a smile. Since her mood was very good, she was already planning to prepared a table full of immortal dishes for Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang nodded and said, "It's a deal then!"
After all, the onion spirit crystal was useless to him, and if he could increase the strength of his constitution until reaching the peak of the Second Stage, it would greatly reduce the pain that was transmitting from the place between his eyebrows.
In addition, if he could increase the strength of his constitution until reaching the peak of the Second Stage, he could eat more spirit beast crystals and do his best to quickly reach the Third Stage Realm.
"Deal." Immortal Fairy Bie Xue was very happy. "In that case, little friend, can you leave me your address? I'll prepare the ingredients now and finish the dishes tomorrow. How about it?"
When she came out this time, she didn't bring a lot of things with her. Therefore, she didn't have many ingredients and even the tools at her disposal were limited. Such being the case, she needed some time if she wanted to prepare an immortal feast for Song Shuhang.
"No problem, Senior." Song Shuhang gave Yu Jiaojiao's villa's address to Immortal Fairy Bie Xue.
The deal that had left both parties very satisfied.
Immortal Fairy Bie Xue managed to obtain the onion spirit crystal and successfully struck up a relationship with Song Shuhang. Tomorrow, she would take advantage of the banquet to ask Song Shuhang about Venerable White!
On the other hand, Song Shuhang now had the opportunity to strengthen his constitution and was obviously very happy.
Yu Jiaojiao was also very happy since she would quietly freeload food tomorrow.
It was a win-win situation for everyone.
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, Lady Onion, who was inside Song Shuhang's size-reducing purse, heaved a sigh of relief. Since Immortal Fairy Bie Xue appeared, her heart had been in turmoil.
At first, she thought that the 300 years old green onion leftover that Song Shuhang was talking about was her. Lady Onion really feared that she would lose again the green onion sprout she had grown with so much effort!
But now, it seemed she had escaped this calamity.
After heaving that sigh of relief, Lady Onion was in a dilemma.
"Not good. I have to stop with this depressing attitude. This time, that crystal managed to take my place, but what about the next time? If they want to carry out another transaction that involves a green onion, will Shuhang cut off my green onion sprout?"
The more Lady Onion was thinking, the more worried she was getting.
As expected, she would have to escape again!
This time, Song Shuhang didn't have his ghost spirit. As long as she had an opportunity, she would be able to get away without a hitch!
❄️❄️❄️
In the meantime.
Daoist Priest Horizon finally arrived at Yu Jiaojiao's villa through his tracking magical technique.
"There is no mistaking! It's here!" Daoist Priest Horizon muttered to himself.
However, the boy didn't seem to have returned. Should he wait for him at the entrance?
Just as he was in deep thoughts, a figure came out of the villa. It was a young man wearing glasses. At this time, he had a small notebook in his hands and was seemingly thinking about something.
"The story must be xianxia as well... however, I've never written xianxia novels. The world building is going to be quite troublesome," the young man muttered to himself.
This young man was none other than Gao Moumou. Moumou had managed to get out of that small black room with much difficulty and was now able to see the sun again.
