I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 670: Exquisite Ways to Cook Crocodile

The old tortoise was determined, and now it was the giant crocodile's turn.

The giant crocodile was dumbfounded, not expecting the old tortoise to be so shameless, willing to serve a mere River God's Mansion under the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, when Lu Zheng looked over, the giant crocodile couldn't help but shiver, as the problem now lay with him.

"I..." The giant crocodile grinned and cautiously glanced at Lu Zheng, "I don't want the Profound Turtle Pearl anymore, can I just go back to the East Sea?"

The Profound Turtle Pearl!

The Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique!

Could he really resist? Wouldn't he return to the East Sea and rally his friends?

More importantly, although the giant crocodile could be spared the death penalty, he wanted to kill Zhu Yushan and attempted to attack Lu Zheng and the others without reason. Could they really just let him go?

Lu Zheng's eyes flickered, scrutinizing the giant crocodile in front of him, lingering over the meatier parts for a long time, and then he gently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Giant crocodile: Σ(°△°|||)︴

"No, what are you looking at?" the giant crocodile's voice trembled, "What's so interesting about me?"

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered the last time I roasted a crocodile. I got lost in thought for a moment, no offense, no offense."

Everyone turned to look at Lu Zheng with eyes full of strangeness.

Is he being so straightforward?

The giant crocodile's eyes were wide with anger, "Kill me or let me go, as you will! Why are you toying with me?"

"You misunderstood," Lu Zheng said sincerely, "It really was just an accident. This is my first time seeing a crocodile demon; the last crocodile I ate hadn't transformed into a demon, so you don't need to empathize.

At the time, I just opened up that crocodile's belly, stuffed it with peppers, onions, radishes, ginger, and garlic seasoning, and then cut away some of the fat and tendons. Finally, I sewed up the belly, then applied a layer of butter, cumin, and pepper evenly on the surface, laid it flat on a prepared metal rack, rotating it over the fire to cook evenly. It had to roast for over an hour to be just right.

And to my surprise, crocodile tastes somewhat like chicken, and the roasted skin turns crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a bit like sea cucumber. It's not only tasty but also nutritious.

The last crocodile was only ten feet long, and at the time, I made a rack big enough for fifteen feet, thinking it would surely be enough, but now it seems still not big enough. This time...

Cough, cough, I mean, I just suddenly remembered this... don't misunderstand."

Everyone: "..."

Although at a loss for words, Zhu Yushan and his wife, who had tasted Lu Zheng's cooking, both swallowed a mouthful of saliva simultaneously.

The giant crocodile was both shocked and angry, wanting to fight to the death, but the flying sword inside him kept emitting sharp sword energy, agitating the demon power protecting his body.

If he fought with all his might, he would only end up losing his life and then become a dish on the opponent's table.

Being eaten was not a big deal; East Sea demons were used to life-and-death battles, and being eaten after dying was not unacceptable. The giant crocodile was prepared for this, but...

Being eaten with such ceremony, and with the details so vividly described, was a bit too much for the demon to handle.

The expectant gazes of the others eager to taste the delicious dish also made him feel a chill down his spine, his heart pounding.

"Just say what you want, scaring me with words. Aren't you insulting your sword immortal status?" The giant crocodile suppressed the tremor in his heart, forcing himself to speak strongly.

Lu Zheng blinked, "You misunderstood again, I'm not a senior sword immortal; I'm about the same age as Brother Zhu."

"Huh?"

This time it wasn't just the giant crocodile, even the old tortoise looked at Lu Zheng with suspicion.

With both flying swords, Martial Dao, and Spirit Secret Technique, it was normal for young people to advance rapidly with such opportunities, but no matter the opportunities, how could someone be proficient in so many things?

"Brother Lu is a disciple of the White Cloud Temple, incredibly talented, a rarity in this world. To be friends with Brother Lu is Zhu Mou's good fortune," Zhu Yushan said.

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, patting Zhu Yushan on the shoulder, speaking of how he cultivated so quickly with a little help from Zhu Yushan.

Hearing how powerful such a young Lu Zheng was, the giant crocodile's momentum weakened even further, reluctantly saying, "You haven't told me yet what you want me to do."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I just happen to be in need of a good house guardian..."

The giant crocodile's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flashed, "I..."

"If you're willing to open your True Spirit Sea of Consciousness and allow me to inscribe a restriction on your Divine Soul True Spirit..."

The giant crocodile: "..."

"Don't even think about it. That way, wouldn't my life and death be entirely in your hands?" the giant crocodile said angrily.

He was thinking of agreeing first and then escaping when safe, yet didn't expect such a black hearted person to want to place a restriction in his soul—wasn't this no different from making him a slave, his status even lower than the old tortoise?

Just as the giant crocodile thought of this, he felt the sword qi inside him stir violently, forcing him to urgently use his demon power for protection.

"How about I swear to serve as your guardian for ten years?"

Lu Zheng ignored the giant crocodile, turning to Zhu Yushan, "Brother Zhu, I'm also quite interested in that 'Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique'. Can I take a look?"

Zhu Yushan was taken aback, instinctively wanting to glance at the old tortoise, but after thinking it over, he understood Lu Zheng's intention.

So he decisively nodded, "My life was saved by Brother Lu, a mere Cultivation Technique is nothing, Brother Lu can take it!"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and then murmured to himself, "Ah, 'Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique', it's not forbidden to pass it on, just can't give it to the wrong person."

Giant Crocodile: "..."

A stick before a sweet date?

The giant crocodile saw clearly. He might be strong, of value if recruited, hence Lu Zheng didn't want to kill him directly. But if he wasn't sensible, they also wouldn't mind having some crocodile meat.

They controlled life and death, that was power.

The Cultivation Technique as a lure, that was profit.

The owner's far-reaching prospects, that was influence.

Now, with 'Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique' offered, if he still chose death, he was asking for it.

Moreover, the old turtle had set an example for him.

While the giant crocodile was irascible, he wasn't stupid.

Thus, he obediently relaxed his body, even retracting the demon power protecting inside, opening up his True Spirit Sea of Consciousness, and respectfully said, "Yue Honghai greets the master."

Settle!

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded, then began inscribing the restriction on Yue Honghai.

The core was a Grand Seal Terrifying Divine Thunder from the Qingwei Yu Chen Thunder Technique, specifically targeting the divine soul.

Outside the thunder was a small Geng Metal Divine Wind, forming a tornado, growing stronger and stronger with each turn.

Outside the divine wind lay a layer of Flying Feather Riding the Dawn Sword Qi, a Golden Palace Heart Sword, and a White Cloud Sword Qi, forming a triangle, varying in strength.

The outermost layer was wrapped in clusters of Innate Cloud Qi, concealing everything inside, with densely engraved White Cloud Runes on the cloud qi, all restrictions and talismans from the White Cloud Temple specifically targeting the divine soul.

Then, Lu Zheng sent this mass of innate white cloud qi into the deepest part of Yue Honghai's divine soul, fixing it there.

Now, Yue Honghai's life and death lay in his hands.

And Yue Honghai was astonished, not expecting Lu Zheng, besides Sword Dao, Martial Dao, and Spirit Secret Technique, to also know Thunder Technique, Wind Technique, and Innate Cloud Technique.

Why did it feel like he found a powerful ally?

Yue Honghai's glance toward the old turtle even showed a hint of superiority.

"Open your mouth!"

Instinctively opening his mouth, the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword flew out of Yue Honghai's nearly ten-foot-long mouth.

Feeling the flying sword leave his body, Yue Honghai spun around, swirling the surrounding water, and once again transformed into the robust man image he had before.

But this time, there were no green clothes...

Li Hanyu quickly turned away, as Lu Zheng grinned and took out a set of clothes from a gourd, tossing them to him to put on.

"Buzz!"

With Yue Honghai's fate settled, the Light of Fortune also came into his account this time.

Relative to the old tortoise giving only a few dozen strands, Yue Honghai gave much more, nearly two hundred strands of the Light of Fortune, making Lu Zheng a small profit.
