Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Gao Cuilan quickly whispered, "Sister Ruyan, this pork tripe and chicken stew tastes very delicious to me. It warms your stomach and heart. You should drink more."

Su Ningxia also quickly agreed, "Yes, Sister Ruyan, this is what the young lady specially asked the kitchen to prepare for you, just to help you replenish your body."

"Thank you very much, Xiaoyi." Liu Ruyan gently shook the spoon and closed it.

Then, he smiled and praised, "Although the seasoning and cooking methods are the same, the dishes in the Duke's Mansion are different. There is always an indescribable charm."

Speaking of this, I have to mention that the chefs in the Duke's Mansion were all brought by Chen Lincun.

There are three main ones among them. One is the third-grade martial soul iron pot Jiao family. They have good iron pot cooking skills and unique experience in controlling the heat; another is the second-grade clay pot Tao family. The soup stewed in the Tao family's clay pot is so delicious that it can warm people's hearts; and there is another one, the fifth-grade martial soul seasoning master Xin family.

Yes, the Xin family’s martial spirit is hands, and these are not ordinary hands.

Not all body-based martial souls are suitable for combat. The Xin family's hand-type martial souls are characterized not by attack ability but by perception, and specifically by smell perception.

This family can combine all ingredients and flavors in the most harmonious way, creating delicious dishes that will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

This pork tripe and chicken soup is the result of cooperation between three companies, or in other words, the soup is the result of cooperation between three chefs.

First, cook the pork stomach in a clay pot, then stir-fry the chicken and pork stomach in a pot, and then pour water into the clay pot to stew the soup. During the process, a lot of seasonings are constantly added, such as Codonopsis pilosula, wolfberry, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc.

Chen Xiaojun was able to find the seasonings or similar products from his previous life among thousands of plants, and the Xin family made a huge contribution to this.

The reason why those dishes from the previous life can be reproduced in this life, in addition to Chen Xiaojun’s own memories of the previous life, is that they were copied bit by bit by these three families.

As for why the Chen family has so many followers of Living Martial Spirits, in fact, many of them have followed the Chen family for hundreds of years and developed from scratch bit by bit.

In fact, they were just an ordinary family at first.

The Chen family rewarded some resources from time to time, and through hundreds of years of development, their martial spirit inheritors gradually acquired soul power and then slowly evolved from generation to generation.

Many forces will raise some life-related auxiliary martial spirits, and the result of a large family and a large business is this structure.

Among the families of followers of the Chen family, in addition to the twelve Zhaowu surnames, there are other twenty-six families with fourth, fifth and sixth grade high-level martial spirits, and the Xin family is one of them.

The Chen family has always been kind to their followers, which has led to more and more families willing to join the Chen family.

In fact, the Ji, Liu, and Dugu families also have many soul masters with high-level martial spirits in their own homes.

Those branches also have their own followers or children.

Therefore, most of the people in the Duke's Mansion, at least those resting in the courtyard and backyard, were brought from their own villages.

The rest were also provided by branches or followers of the family.

The outermost ones, such as the Jinyiwei, although many of them were reorganized and recruited from outside, these people had no contact with the inner guards at all, and could not even enter the inner palace (atrium and backyard) areas of the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, it is really difficult for outsiders to stir up trouble for the Chen family.

A huge settlement-style family system like the Chen family, which has been formed over thousands of years, cannot be shaken by just anyone.

Zhu Wuneng counted on his fingers, looking very serious: "As for the contestants, we have five, six, seven, eight, and eight. Including Sister Xiaoyi, me, Ah Fu, Ningxia, and Cuilan, plus the Ma brothers, there are already 11 people."

"With Sister Ruyan and Brother Wuyan in charge, we only need two more people to complete the team."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes turned slightly and her gaze unconsciously fell on Gao Cuilan, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

If she remembered correctly, Gao Cuilan's current soul power level was only level 35, right?

At this level, it's barely possible to participate in the intermediate soul master competition, but if you want to participate in the advanced soul master competition, it would be a bit risky.

After all, the competition in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament is extremely fierce.

In fact, when Gao Cuilan participated in the Continental Intermediate Soul Master Competition as a sophomore, she was already an exception.

But now, the requirements for the advanced soul master competition are much higher.

However, Liu Ruyan did not raise any direct questions. After all, Gao Cuilan was also one of the girls she watched grow up, and as the eldest daughter of the Gao family, Gao Cuilan's qualifications and potential should not be underestimated.

"Is the list of colleges out?" Liu Ruyan changed the subject and asked Xiang Chenmu.

Chen Mu nodded and replied, "The academy said that Lao Liu decides the candidates and he has the right to submit the final list of contestants."

Liu Ruyan was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Xiaojun to have such great power in the academy.

As expected, he is the young master of the Chen family!

She also understood that the academy had placed its unilateral bet on the Chen family and Chen Xiaojun, hoping that he could lead the team to create a miracle.

What about having the right to submit a list? Needless to say, this is official language and polite talk, which definitely gives the decision-making power to Chen Xiaojun.

However, she remained expressionless and just nodded slightly without pointing it out.

"Ma brothers? Who else are they besides Ma Liang?" Liu Ruyan asked again.

Chen Mu smiled and replied, "There is also Ma Wencai, he is Ma Liang's cousin and also my cousin."

Liu Ruyan was a little dazed for a moment. Who is Ma Wencai?

She frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she finally seemed to remember something. She had indeed met him once or twice at Chen Xiaojun's place. He was a handsome young man with a resolute look but a little dull.

"Isn't he only in his 20s?" Liu Ruyan asked with some confusion. She remembered that Ma Wencai, whom she had met before, did not have high soul power.

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, "He is already level 37, and he still has two soul bones."

"His strength is actually quite good, and his martial spirit is also quite unique. It's no problem for him to be a surprise reserve player."

Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and said nothing.

In the past, Chang'an Academy was already quite good if it had one or two Soul Kings. If it was coupled with some Soul Masters, it would be considered a regular combat lineup.

And now, the golden generation, including Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi, has reached a full Soul King lineup, which is really amazing.

Therefore, when Liu Ruyan heard that Gao Cuilan and Ma Wencai might also participate in the competition and Chen Xiaojun did not object, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

As a regular member of the team, she naturally hopes that every member of the team is a powerful soul master.

Soon, Liu Ruyan suppressed her emotions.

She looked at Chen Xiaojun, who was calm and composed, and asked, "Xiaojun, what is your idea for building a team? What do you think about the preliminaries?"
