Xian Ao

In the soup room, Yu Zecheng bowed respectfully to Bai Hexi and said:

"Thank you to Brother Bai for slaying the Demonic Sirius and avenging my grandfather. This is the gift my mother asked me to do. Thank you to Brother Bai for your great kindness."

After speaking, he bowed to the ground. Bai Hexi nodded and accepted the gift calmly. Then Yu Zecheng began to teach him how to make soup.

The details of Yu Zecheng's teachings were not concealed from Bai Hexi at all. Bai Hexi also studied carefully and tried everything himself.

An hour passed unknowingly, and everything about Yu Zecheng was handed over to Bai Hexi. Yu Zecheng said:

"That's about it. As long as the mother soup is cooked, you don't have to wait a day and night every time you make the soup. However, the mother soup cannot be kept for more than three days, even if it is frozen into ice cubes, otherwise the taste will deteriorate. .

Okay, Brother Bai knows the basics, now it’s time for me to teach you the three most critical points. "

Bai Hexi smiled and said:

"You are not afraid that others will learn it, and you even sold the secret to the head chef, but he can't make such a soup anyway. These three points are what you have left."

Yu Zecheng smiled and said:

"Brother Bai is laughing. I live entirely on this soup, so naturally I have to keep it a secret, but I will teach him everything.

The first point is to add salt. Since ancient times, people have to eat salt. If you want to have delicious food and wine, it is important to add salt. In fact, there are many opinions on how much salt to add. My soup is all seasoned with salt. I remember that I read a story in "Yuan Heng Zong Yao". An imperial chef of Chen State hosted a banquet for the king. The banquet lasted for a whole day. However, he forgot to add salt to the last dish. He thought it was over. This is a serious crime of decapitation.

The result was not as expected. Everyone praised the deliciousness of this dish because salt was added to all the dishes. After eating it for a day, these people had absorbed enough salt. When they ate dishes without salt, they felt that this dish was delicious. The vegetables are salty and delicious, and extremely delicious.

So when I taught the head chef, I told him to put 1 penny of salt. This salt is absolutely normal for these soups. He is an experienced chef and can’t see anything wrong with it. In fact, there is a saying in it. Every time my soup is At the end of the meal, everyone at the banquet has already eaten enough. They have absorbed enough salt from other dishes. I really don’t add salt every time I serve soup. They don’t need salt for a long time. So when you drink it, you will feel that the taste is just right, salty and palatable.

For those who don’t know this, the head chef still adds salt normally according to the method I taught. When the soup is ready for testing, it will taste normal. However, when it is served during a banquet, it will definitely leave a salty taste, and this soup will maintain the taste. Mainly, as long as it is salty, all other umami flavors will disappear. Naturally, the taste is wrong and it no longer tastes good.

Second point, Brother Bai, look at these three Chinese herbal medicines, Muqi, Yellow Ginseng, and Goulian. In fact, you can make this soup with or without them. The purpose of letting them in is to prevent others from stealing.

Muqi, an herbal medicine, emits a bitter smell when exposed to vinegar, yellow ginseng emits a fishy smell when cooked for more than an hour, and Goulian emits an astringent smell when exposed to beef.

But as long as you combine these three flavors in a reasonable way, they will neutralize each other and turn into an attractive fragrance, and there will also be a salty feeling, which will reveal the secret of not adding salt. Cover it up.

This combination requires precise control of the proportion of raw materials, the time of putting them in the pot, and the time of making the soup. There can be no deviation, otherwise the taste of the soup will change. Okay, I will tell Brother Bai in detail now... "

Bai Hexi was particularly interested in this, and asked in detail over and over again, studying it carefully. Yu Zecheng slowly understood that Bai Hexi attached so much importance to the confidentiality of this soup. It was not like him that he wanted to rely on this soup to curry favor with some strong man so as to get ahead. At the same time, I am also afraid that others will imitate me and steal my business.

After teaching this, Yu Zecheng continued:

"Last point, I'm not sure I understand this, and I don't know why. We chefs have some internal skills, and sometimes we all use our internal skills to fuel the fire, so that the soup will be cooked faster and taste better. .

Although my internal strength is very weak, the soup made by using my internal strength to fuel the fire is better than the soup they make by using my internal strength to fuel the fire. It is because of this that the head chef gave up the idea of ​​learning my soup. "

After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Bai Hexi couldn't help but nodded. Then he stretched out his hand to touch Yu Zecheng's head, feeling the power, and said after a while:

"How did you discover these tricks?"

Yu Zecheng replied:

"I discovered the knowledge of adding salt in "Yuanheng Zongyao". As for the conflict and harmony of the three herbal medicines, I read about them in "Compendium of Materia Medica". I tried it hundreds of times before I concluded it. "

Bai Hexi nodded and said:

"You are so thoughtful at such a young age, you are a good seedling. The third reason is that I know why. Your body has five elements of spiritual roots. Although it is a pseudo-spiritual root, none of them have this. This soup is said to be a soup, but it actually already has qi. The medicinal properties of the powder can only be cultivated by those with spiritual roots. In addition, you may have the innate ability to refine medicine?"

Yu Zecheng asked in surprise:

"What is spiritual root?"

Bai Hexi said:

"You've heard of immortals, right?"

Yu Zecheng nodded and replied:

"I heard my father say that he had seen immortals flying in the sky."

Bai Hexi nodded and said:

"Actually, immortals are all cultivated by mortals, but with the same secret book and immortal method, some people can become immortals through cultivation, while some people cannot draw spiritual energy into their bodies, cannot develop true energy, and cannot become immortals.

Later, after countless generations of research, it was discovered that mortals who can cultivate true energy must have spiritual roots in their body meridians. If a person does not have spiritual roots, then there is no need to even think about cultivating immortality, because you cannot sense spiritual energy at all, let alone Don't talk about cultivating magic power!

You belong to the Five Elements Spiritual Root, which is one of the most popular spiritual roots. The Tiger Roaring Heaven Technique that you practice originally evolved from the basic skills of cultivating immortals, so if you use internal energy to fuel the fire and have the spiritual root in your body, you can Introducing spiritual energy into the soup creates the prototype of refining medicine. After the soup is prepared, it will have the weak medicinal properties of Qi Xing Powder to replenish people's vitality. This is what I am curious about. How can an ordinary chef make it? This kind of soup. "

Yu Zecheng listened in surprise and said:

"Five elements spiritual root? Refining medicine? Brother Bai, can I also cultivate immortality?"

Bai Hexi nodded, sighed and said:

"Cultivation of immortals is so difficult. You see, I am very famous outside, but in fact I am just an outsider. I have no way to get started. If I can rely on this soup to join the inner sect. Get the reward from my ancestors and break through the innate realm. I will never forget you."

Yu Zecheng said:

"Thank you, Brother Dabai. What is foundation building? In my memory, the innate master is the strongest master in the world?"

Bai Hexi learned how to make soup today, and she had a direction in her heart. She was naturally happy and said a few more words:

"Innate master, haha, in the innate realm of the mortal world, he is indeed a world-famous master, but for cultivating immortals, that is just the beginning.

Mortals must go through five major stages and fifteen realms in cultivating immortality. These five major stages are: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Return to Emptiness Stage.

Each phase is divided into three realms. The Qi refining phase is divided into Qi entrainment, fetal breath, and innateness. The foundation building phase is divided into body shaping, fusion, and spiritual silence. The Golden elixir phase is divided into pill formation, heartbeat, dragon and tiger, and Yuan. The infant stage is divided into becoming an infant, leaving the body, and being distracted. The returning stage of deficiency is divided into entering the stage of deficiency, passing through tribulations, and Mahayana.

The fifteen realms of cultivating immortals, each realm is divided into primary level, intermediate level, advanced level, plus a peak state in the final breakthrough period, so each period is divided into ten levels.

A martial arts master like Ma Laohei, whose internal strength has been developed for thirty years and can use his sword light, can release his true energy. This is equivalent to the primary level of fetal breath realm in the Qi refining period. The characteristic is that he can release true energy. The qi forms a protective cover for the sword qi and sword light.

For example, Demon Sirius enters the Tao through martial arts, his white hair turns black, and he can fly in the sky. That means he has entered the advanced level of the innate realm. The sign is that he can stand in the sky. But this has just begun in the world of immortality. It is necessary to reach the peak innate state, then successfully build the foundation, re-train the body, and the old man becomes a young man. Only then can you truly enter the world of immortality, be recognized by the world of immortality, and become a formal disciple of each sect.

As long as you enter the world of cultivating immortals, you will not be cultivating true energy, but true energy and mana. When the time comes, you will learn immortal arts and techniques, or possess magical weapons. Even the weakest immortal cultivator in the realm of entraining qi can kill a strong martial arts master in the innate realm if he possesses powerful magic and magic weapons. "

After speaking, Bai Hexi moved his hand, and a fireball appeared in his hand, as big as a human head, floating in his hand, emitting powerful heat.

Bai Hexi moved his hand again, the fireball disappeared, and said:

"The Demonic Heavenly Wolf has reached the innate advanced level, and I am only at the innate primary level, which is two levels higher than me. However, under the bombardment of my weak Taoist magic and fireball technique, I finally broke through the Qi shield. , exhausted all his energy and killed him on the spot.

The biggest benefit of cultivating immortality is that it can extend your life. During the qi refining period, if a cultivator enters the realm of fetal breath, a person can live to an old age. If one enters the innate realm, one hundred and fifty years old will not be a problem, and the body will be strong and free from all diseases.

If you can successfully build the foundation, enter the foundation building stage and refine your body, your lifespan will be increased by at least 20 years, and you can live to at least 300 years old. Entering the realm of fusion and the realm of spiritual silence will each increase your lifespan by one mile. Reached the advanced age of four hundred years.

If you can enter the golden elixir stage, your lifespan will be doubled and you can live to be 800 years old. You can also fight for your life and be reincarnated. If you can enter the Nascent Soul stage, you can be said to be immortal. You can live for at least thousands of years, and you will not be in danger of falling until the catastrophe comes. "

Yu Huacheng listened silently, engraved all this in his mind, and then said:

"Then what happens after the Mahayana?"

Bai Hexi said with fascination:

"That's when you become immortal and ascend, either as a heavenly being or as a Shura, and enter the immortal world. That is the highest state for immortal cultivators. It is very dangerous if you don't go beyond the realm of tribulation. According to ancient legend, it is easy for Yuanying to form a knot, but it is difficult to survive the tribulation.

It’s a bit far-fetched. Now we have six regions and thirty-seven continents including Tiannan, Mobei, Ancient Qin, Chuxi, Miaoxiang, and Suiyuan. As long as we reach the Golden Core stage, we can open the door to establish factions, control the country, and divide the world. . Only one or two immortals like those in the Nascent Soul stage, that is, the thirty-six sects and seventy-two sects, will have one or two. Not to mention the immortals in the Return to Void stage, even the immortals in the distraction realm have already reached three. He has not appeared in the world for four thousand years. "

Hearing this, Yu Zecheng didn't speak for a long time, completely stunned. Bai Hexi said again:

"Xiao Yuzi, do you really want to be a chef all your life?"
