From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 61 Fathead Fish's Decision
On the last street of Beifang Market, there is a plaque at the door with three big words "Noodle House" written on it. There are several old diners coming in and out of the door, all of them are teachers at the school.

Yu Yang's fish noodle soup is a unique delicacy. It contains the method of replenishing the body with the same type of food. After eating it, fish monsters can replenish their spirits and increase their wisdom. It is well-known in the blessed land and everyone praises it.

Yu Shuyang came with his cousin Li Zhen. From a distance, they saw the bighead carp in the store sitting there in a daze, a fish monster looking stupid and dazed like a wooden sculpture.

"Puffhead Fish, why are you just standing there in a daze? Isn't the store busy?"

It took the fathead fish a while to wake up. He looked depressed and as if his father had died. Anyone could see that he had encountered trouble.

"Li Zhen, you go in and eat first. You don't have to wait for me." Yu Shuyang arranged for his cousin to go in first, and he stayed to talk with Fathead Fish.

"Junior brother, when did you come back? I heard my master's wife talking about you the day before yesterday. It's been less than a hundred days. When will you break through to the ninth level?" Fathead fish said casually.

He kowtowed to Yu's father and worshipped him as his master. When he talked about fellow apprenticeship with Yu Shuyang, he also addressed Yu's mother as "master's wife". In fact, the skills of cooking white pastry were all taught to him by Yu's mother.

"Brother, don't worry about me. Tell me what happened?" Yu Shuyang saw that Fathead Fish was trying to change the subject.

"Um...Junior brother, it's nothing. Don't you want to go in and eat?" Fathead fish opened his mouth and choked several times, trying hard not to cry.

"Brother, just tell me what's on your mind. Have you encountered any difficulties? Tell us and we'll help solve it together." Yu Shuyang looked anxious and hesitant, not like a man.

The fathead fish sighed deeply, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

"Junior brother, you also know my talent. I have the destiny of fire and gold, and I naturally like big stoves and strong fires. It is said that I am not good enough to learn white cooking. The most suitable thing for me is red cooking and fast stir-frying.

As you know, our blessed land has been closed for a long time. I have never thought about going outside. I also learn the art of spiritual cooking in the blessed land.

Master and Master have been very good to me over the years, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through to the eighth level so quickly. However, I really can't learn how to make noodle soup.

Even if I bite the bullet and persevere, it's still unclear whether I can reach the threshold of the seventh rank. I really can't imagine such a day.

I was thinking of going to the north to have a look. I heard that the white-case pastry there is very good, and the flower cakes and flatbreads are very famous."

After the fathead fish finished speaking, the depression that had accumulated in his heart was relieved a lot, and his head also felt a little lighter.

"It's good to go out and learn skills. Every demon has his own way. Even if you kowtow to the master, you don't have to be the same as the master.

Besides, my father didn't teach you anything, so this shouldn't be an obstacle to your advancement." Yu Shuyang didn't understand what Fathead Fish was worried about.

"Junior brother, you don't know the risks here. Not to mention the great enemy of our Xiyu clan, this northern land has always been an important place for culture and education.

Not to mention calling for war and killing of the demon clan, they always have a bad attitude towards them. Moreover, there are many immortal sects and aristocratic families over there, and the inherited skills are not passed on to outsiders at all.

If I go out and fail to learn the skills and lose my life, wouldn't that be unfair?" Fathead Fish became more and more frustrated.

Yu Shuyang finally understood what he heard. Fathead fish was unwilling to waste his time, so he stayed in the blessed land to gather his energy and practice making noodle soup.

He wanted to go to the north to learn skills, but was afraid that he would not have a place to find a master, and he was also afraid of encountering a Wensi snake on the way and losing his life in vain before he even reached his destination.

"Brother, there is nothing perfect in this world. Tossing and turning won't solve the problem. Ultimately, you still have to make a decision.

Instead of mulling over the pros and cons, why not think about what kind of life you truly want and what you're willing to pay for it? Yu Shuyang offered a direct analysis, understanding this feeling all too well. Planning before acting has always been his style. The puffer fish pondered in silence, its mouth open, its eyes bulging with a foolish yet resolute glint.

"Junior Brother, I know what you said is right, but what should I do? I really want to go to the North to learn martial arts, but I don't want to die."

Dreams cannot be eaten, and they are even less likely to drive people crazy to the point of committing suicide. In the face of life and death, dreams are worthless.

"Brother, let me tell you, among the various schools of thought in human culture and education, there is one called the School of Craftsmanship, which focuses on the inheritance of craftsmanship.

There is another branch among the craftsmen that inherits the superb craftsmanship, called "Missing One Sect", which requires forming a bond with the demon clan to practice.

The North is the base camp for those who lack a certain skill. If you establish a bond with a craftsman from the North, your safety will be guaranteed. It all depends on your luck and whether you can become their apprentice." Yu Shuyang thought about it and decided that this method was the most suitable.

Fathead fish didn't expect that the thing he had been worried about was solved by his junior brother with just a few words, as if it was insignificant.

"Junior brother, I've also heard of this demon sect. It's said to be a secret sect of the demon race. Without the introduction of a senior from the sect, there's no way to become a disciple of this sect." The fathead fish said, stroking his head.

Yu Shuyang thought about it and realized that Bai Dan’s turtle bead was in his hand, and there was a large altar inside it. For the sake of confidentiality, it would be best not to reveal it.

He had already given the Yunmen Water Palace to his eighth brother-in-law, and he had also refined it into the space within his abdomen. Logically, it would never be exposed, so he couldn't show off.

"Brother, I'll take care of this matter, don't worry about it. I'll write a list later, and you prepare everything on it.

I'll come find you tomorrow night, and we'll perform some rituals to see if we can get in touch with the demon sect." Yu Shuyang decided to find a way to help Fathead Fish.

The demon race is accustomed to bloodline inheritance and basically does not pass on the altar method. The reason why the demon sect is called a secret sect is because it inherits the secret of the altar method.

This thing is not a secret at all to Yu Shuyang. After all, he was a human in his previous life, not to mention that he has a complete altar in his hand.

"Junior brother, you write it. I'll go buy it right away." After hearing this, the fathead fish immediately became energetic, with his eyes shining like a dog seeing a bone.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's tomorrow night. You should work honestly in the store these two days. You should stay calm when facing big things, okay?" Yu Shuyang patted the fathead fish.

He helped Fathead Fish go to the north to learn skills, and his own store was missing a main force. Although the fish mother would not blame him if she knew about it, she had to inform him in advance.

"This method of opening the altar may not be successful, so don't hold out hope of success. Besides, you have to inform my mother about this matter, otherwise the store branch will be unable to operate." Yu Shuyang turned around and gave another instruction.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I promise I won't just quit and leave. I can't let others poke holes in Master and Master's wife's spines and teach them a lesson that will turn them into ungrateful people.

Xiao Liuzi in the store also has a talent for cooking. The master's wife has secretly observed him. Later I told her to let the master take him in.

"When he learns and becomes an apprentice, I'll go to the north to learn more and make sure that nothing in our store gets lost." Fathead Fish was genuinely happy.

Yu Shuyang did not comment on this. Yu Mu was in charge of the store's affairs, so it was naturally her who had the final say on how to arrange things.

　I checked last night and it was ranked 100 on the entire site's recommendation list. I didn't expect it to disappear this morning. Please give me your recommendation votes, otherwise it would be a shame. This is the closest I've been to being on the list.
