Tian Yuan

"Old Yan, do you grow vegetables in your yard?"

When Chen Qingyuan came, he caught a glimpse of the vegetable garden in the front yard and made a comment.

"I have nothing to do, so I just want to kill time."

The old chef's real name is Yan Ze. His only hobby in life is to cook delicious food. As for power and women, he doesn't care about them.

"Can I eat it?"

When saying this, the corners of Chen Qingyuan's mouth rose slightly.

"Sure." The old cook laughed and immediately stood up, ready to go to the vegetable garden and cook two side dishes for Chen Qingyuan: "Wait!"

"Okay, I can wait."

Chen Qingyuan responded and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

After a while, the old chef came with two dishes and placed them on the table.

Suddenly, the aroma was so fragrant that it aroused the appetite in my stomach.

"Is there any wine?"

Chen Qingyuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It was still delicious. This kind of cooking skill is hard to match in the world.

"Have."

The old chef had already prepared everything and took out a few jugs of fine wine.

He came empty-handed, drank and ate without any courtesy, how shameless!

However, the two did not care about these.

Just based on the opportunity of Taoism given by Chen Qingyuan, the old chef would be happy to cook for him for the rest of his life. Moreover, he was very happy that the dishes he made were liked so much by Chen Qingyuan.

"Where do you want to go?"

After drinking a few cups, the old chef talked about what to do next.

"I'm looking for four things."

Chen Qingyuan took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks, looked up at him with a serious expression.

"what?"

The old cook became a little curious.

"Nine Tribulations Soul Wood, Gathering Darkness Withered Grass, Taiyin Water, Purple Blood Spirit Marrow."

Although the two have known each other for a short time, they feel that they met too late and are worthy of close friendship. There is no need to hide some things and they should tell each other the truth.

If he really wanted to be on guard, Chen Qingyuan would not have asked the old chef to accompany him for protection.

"They are all rare items in the world and hard to find!"

With the old chef's experience and knowledge, he knew exactly what Chen Qingyuan was talking about, and he said with a worried look on his face and a frown.

"Take your time to look for it. I believe our luck won't be too bad."

Chen Qingyuan was mentally prepared to search for hundreds of years.

If it lasts any longer, I'm afraid this body won't be able to support it.

In other words, all of them must be collected within a hundred years at the latest, otherwise the wisp of reincarnation Taoism in the body that symbolizes vitality will be exhausted. At that time, Chen Qingyuan will have no way out and no one can help him.

"As far as I know, the conditions for nurturing the Nine Tribulations Soul Tree are extremely harsh. It must be a ten-thousand-year-old soul tree that grows in an extremely yin place."

"After the Soul Tree dies, the tree heart will be baptized by the law of time, and there is a slight possibility that it will transform into a Calamity Soul Tree."

"If it is the Nine Tribulations, it will need to undergo nine times of cleansing and transformation by the Dao Rhyme of Time. Not to mention how long it will take, the probability of success is extremely small."

The old chef once saw a detailed record about the Nine Tribulations Soul Wood in an ancient book. This thing is not easy to find, and he has never seen it in his life anyway.

"The world is so big, you can always find it."

Chen Qingyuan has a good attitude. The road ahead is indeed difficult, but the direction is correct.

"The Gathering Dark Grass grows in places with a strong aura of death. Although it is rare, it is the easiest material to obtain for you."

To some extent, these things are even scarcer than the supreme holy medicine.

Most people have no use for things like robbed wood and dead grass, and have never even heard of them.

Chen Qingyuan had already explored the Qing Sect's treasury and all the guest elders, but found no such rare treasures and had no idea about them at all.

"After drinking this glass of wine, let's go."

Chen Qingyuan raised his glass and said.

"Okay." The old chef nodded without any objection.

Eat and drink enough, go out immediately.

After leaving Qingzong, the old chef drove a chariot towards the vast sea of ​​stars.

"Where's our first stop?"

The old cook always has to know a direction before he can set off.

"Langya Villa."

First go to the villa and find Nangong Ge. With Nangong Ge's guidance, this trip will definitely save a lot of time and trouble.

When he was leaving the country, Chen Qingyuan tried to contact Nangong Ge many times, but unfortunately, there was no response.

In fact, if we rush to Langya Villa this time, we probably won’t be able to find Nangong Ge. He must be hiding in some unknown corner.

Even so, Chen Qingyuan still decided to go there. Once Nangong Ge came back, Langya Villa would definitely be able to contact him as soon as possible.

The journey is long, but there is no rush.

They passed many prosperous and dreamy ancient cities along the way. They would stop to buy some fresh ingredients or taste local specialties.

"It's just so-so, not as good as yours."

Chen Qingyuan tasted a piece of pastry that was particularly famous nearby and commented.

"Friend Chen Dao, you probably haven't eaten the cakes I made! How can you make such a comment?"

The old cook recalled that he had not steamed sweetmeats in recent days and said in surprise.

"You'll be eating it soon."

Chen Qingyuan's mouth corners raised.

"......" The old chef smiled bitterly. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

Back in the chariot, the old chef started making desserts, selecting ingredients with great care and attention.

After all, Chen Qingyuan had already praised it in advance, and it would be embarrassing if the food didn't taste good.

Two hours later, Chen Qingyuan finally got to taste the freshly baked cakes, and praised them generously: "Old Yan, your cooking skills are truly unique in the world. They are delicious."

"As long as you like it."

Hearing this, the old cook smiled widely.

"I have a suggestion. Make a list of the skills and dishes you know."

Chen Qingyuan said shamelessly.

"......" The old cook was speechless for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I came here specially to protect you, how did it become like this?"

"Cooking and protecting the Dao don't conflict, right?"

Chen Qingyuan grinned.

If you are just looking for a protector, people like Chang Geng Sword Immortal, Monument Keeper, King Tian Yong, etc., all possess reassuring strength and are not afraid of villains.

The reason why I come all the way to ask the old chef to come is just to satisfy my appetite.

"Can I say no?"

It's okay to cook a meal occasionally, but if cooking becomes a task, it loses its original fun.

"Old Yan, if you don't cook often, your cooking skills will get rusty easily." Chen Qingyuan pretended to be serious. "Also, you can think of some new dishes. After I eat them, I will definitely give you a fair evaluation and provide you with suggestions."

“That’s not impossible.”

The old chef was obviously moved when he heard the second half of Chen Qingyuan's words.

Make something new and let Chen Qingyuan try the poison.

On the one hand, it satisfied his own interests and hobbies, and on the other hand, it allowed Chen Qingyuan to fill his stomach.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not.

"Then it's settled. No regrets. Make a list!"

Chen Qingyuan looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan.

"I always feel like something is wrong."

The old cook was writing the names of the dishes while muttering to himself.
