While breathing in and out, Zhao Xun practiced the Taoist Qi nourishing techniques taught by his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi, while cursing, is he returning to his original nature?
The core of Taoist Qi nourishing technique is neutralization and conditioning.
This spell does not have a profound foundation, but it can maximize the tolerance of the practitioner's body or sea of consciousness to the various types of spiritual energy.
In other words, this spell is actually a regulator.
"It's actually quite suitable."
Zhao Xun thought to himself after trying it several times.
After being regulated and neutralized by Taoist Qi-nourishing techniques, Zhao Xun clearly felt that the aura in his sea of consciousness had become much calmer, and there was no longer that cramped and painful feeling.
It turns out that the word "return to nature" still has its reason for existence.
"Taoist Priest Qinglian is really my lucky star."
The first practitioner Zhao Xun met after coming to this world was Taoist Master Qinglian.
Without Taoist Qinglian, Zhao Xun would have taken many detours.
But precisely because of such a mentor, a guiding light, Zhao Xun was able to maximize his cultivation talents.
This is really important.
It seems that a slight deviation may cause a spiritual genius to fall or go astray.
Zhao Xun had a deep understanding of this when he was still in the Bad People's Yamen.
Bad people do not recruit non-practitioners, and prosperity is an exception.
Even Zhao Xun reached the ninth level before becoming a bad person.
After becoming a bad person, Brother Jia Xingwen used medicinal wine to cleanse his marrow and replace his bones, and he entered the martial arts system.
This point is crucial. It also paved the way for Zhao Xun’s future three cultivations.
But it was here that Zhao Xun saw too many talented practitioners going further and further down the detour.
They should have achieved higher achievements, but due to various circumstances, they went further and further away.
Most of them bite off more than they can chew.
They want to learn more exercises, but they don't know how to neutralize and regulate them, so that these exercises are mixed together, conflicting with each other, and even killing each other.
Yes, there are only so many resources in the sea of consciousness of a practitioner, and usually it can only accommodate one or two practice systems.
If there are not enough resources, there will naturally be a fight.
In the human world, the strong are respected, and the same is true in the world of practitioners.
Even the cultivation system and their true energy began to involute.
There is nothing you can do. If you don't involve, you won't be able to occupy the favorable terrain in the sea of consciousness, and you will slowly be eliminated.
Therefore, these bad people slowly began to suffer, and their cultivation levels were unable to be improved due to the fight between major cultivation systems.
This is very fatal.
Because if you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance.
For a practitioner, if he cannot improve his level for a long time, it means that he has encountered a big bottleneck.
It is difficult to break through the bottleneck without the guidance of an expert.
If Zhao Xun had not had the guidance of his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, he would not have been able to break through so easily.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
There are also some people with extremely high talents in martial arts who can rely on their own enlightenment to improve their cultivation and break through the involution of Qi in various major training systems.
This kind of person is the so-called spiritual genius.
However, such spiritual geniuses are rare in the world and are almost difficult to find. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are only one in a million.
Therefore, most people still need to pay attention to conditioning. Using softness to overcome hardness is by no means as simple as it sounds.
Zhao Xun knew very well that he had entered a new stage now, and as long as he could continue to follow this idea, he would definitely achieve something small.
Of course, this time he faced far greater pressure than before.
In the past, there were at most three cultivation systems fighting each other.
This time, there were dozens of completely different qi fighting.
The numbers are completely different.
"It seems that I have to make a complete set of practice plans for myself, and use a fixed time every day to digest the Qi passed down to me by my brothers and sisters."
Zhao Xun attaches great importance to this, because he knows very well that these Qi are just peaceful for the time being, and there is no telling when they will fight again.
It seems that the Taoist Qi nourishing technique should be used continuously and must not be stopped easily, otherwise it is easy to recur.
Zhao Xun didn't want to go back to the starting point when he was only one step away from success, and so on.
This is really too much torture.
It would be best if we could do it in one step.
The process of digesting Qi is extremely long.
In the words of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, it can take as little as half a year or as long as several years to completely digest a piece of Qi that does not belong to you and turn it into your own Qi.
Some people even make this kind of effort all their lives. They keep trying and fighting, but even before they die, they fail to completely turn their true energy into their own use.
This is really embarrassing.
Zhao Xun did not want to face such an embarrassing situation in the future.
What's the point of being sent a gift of energy like that? It's just to look good.
Of course Zhao Xun doesn't want to end up like this, so he must work hard at the beginning and work harder.
Many times, third senior brother Long Qingquan wonders what kind of person his junior brother is.
I remember that when he first met Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun gave him the impression that he was a frivolous young man.
Like everyone of this age group, Zhao Xun showed a young ignorance and fearlessness.
The fact that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers is clearly demonstrated in his body.
This is a good thing and a bad thing for a practitioner.
The good thing is that practitioners are not bound by rules and regulations and can roll up their sleeves and go for it.
In a relatively free environment, a practitioner's nature can be brought out, and a good start can be made on the long road of spiritual practice.
But slowly, they will discover that the so-called practice does not rely on a rush of momentum and brute force to achieve breakthroughs.
Sometimes being clever is key.
Appropriate skill can enable a practitioner to improve himself from the vast and complicated practice system. This is really important.
Zhao Xun did it.
He not only showed the side of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, but also showed the side of humility.
If he doesn't understand something, he knows how to humbly ask his brothers and sisters for advice.
This made Long Qingquan very satisfied, because he gained a lot of face through this.
His seniority in the academy is not low.
In addition to the mountain chief, senior sister, and second senior sister, Long Qingquan has the highest seniority.
So he wanted to set an example for his junior brothers and sisters.
Zhao Xun understands this very well, so he cooperates very well.
Later, Long Qingquan gained a deeper understanding of Zhao Xun, and he began to understand why Zhao Xun was so favored by the mountain chief.
The mountain leader is the most powerful practitioner in the world, and the people he can like must have unique value.
Zhao Xun is no exception. The uniqueness shown by Zhao Xun allowed him to obtain the small stove opened by Shan Chang for a long period of time.
There seems to be a unique quality about him that attracts people to associate with him.
Long Qingquan is also willing to do his best to help Zhao Xun. When Zhao Xun is in danger, Long Qingquan will step forward without hesitation.
Long Qingquan participated in several important investigations conducted by Zhao Xun.
Not only Long Qingquan, but also most of the academy's disciples participated.
Because like Long Qingquan, they really like Zhao Xun, their younger brother.
They gave willingly and provided Zhao Xun with everything they could.
this point is very important.
The reason why Zhao Xun's realm improved so quickly is inseparable from this.
"Now that I think about it, my junior brother and I are really compatible. We are very similar in terms of personality, but my behavior is more external."
Both Long Qingquan and Zhao Xun are very proud people.
It's just that Zhao Xun will cover it up, but Long Qingquan won't cover it up at all.
People like people who are similar to themselves. This is a biological or animal instinct.
Long Qingquan is no exception.
He could not restrain this instinctive impulse.
From every aspect, my junior brother is very suitable to be the successor of the academy.
Wish him good luck.
Western Region, Yule City.
Gao Shen is constantly calculating various situations that he may face.
For a practitioner, the most feared situation is to encounter a practitioner who is stronger than him.
If you just face those black bumps that can explode, Gao Shen will not be afraid at all.
But if you really meet a top practitioner, the senior practitioner will probably feel fear and cower involuntarily.
Because of his inherent deficiencies, he was so close to being accepted as an inner disciple by the mountain chief after he first entered the academy.
This is very fatal and will even have a profound impact on Gao Shen's subsequent life and path of spiritual practice.
Why did Gao Shen choose to abandon his writing and join the army?
Does he really think that martial arts has a better future than Confucianism?
of course not!
Gao Shen knew very well that the upper limit of Confucianism cultivators was even higher.
The reason why he chose the path of martial arts cultivation instead of Confucianism cultivation was because he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to make further progress on the path of Confucianism cultivation.
The mountain chief was his guide, but now this leader is no longer willing to guide him forward.
If you continue to stay in the academy and be an outside disciple, you can only rely on yourself to achieve enlightenment.
This is too difficult.
If the mountain commander was willing to teach him step by step and give him a small start, Gao Zhan would never have left the academy and chose to abandon his writing and join the army to join the Anxi Army.
If he didn't choose a better option, what would he be if he wasn't stupid?
In this regard, Gao Shen was somewhat envious of Zhao Xun.
This son's name is now known to everyone in the Zhou Dynasty.
Not only because he shocked the world by killing the King of Wei, but also because of his life trajectory like a chosen son.
There are not many people in this world who can be accepted as a disciple by the mountain chief and teach him everything, not to mention that he has also been favored by Taoist Priest Qinglian and Yuan Tiangang.
This made Gao Shen's eyes red with envy.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
The old saying is indeed true.
This is not better than not knowing, a comparison can simply make people angry to death.
Why are his and Zhao Xun's fates so different?
Is it really because his talent is so different from Zhao Xun's?
"Maybe this is unfair fate."
Even so far, Gao Shen is unwilling to admit that he is not as good as Zhao Xun.
If he was given another chance, he would still choose to join the academy and become a disciple of the mountain chief.
Because he firmly believed that he had the strength to become the chief disciple of the mountain.
But in fact, there would never be such an opportunity again, because he knew that there would be no turning back from the moment he stepped out of the academy gate.
With Gao Shen's strong character, it is impossible for him to look back.
Fortunately, his current development is pretty good.
There are not too many practitioners in the Anxi army, which makes Zhao Xun stand out from the crowd.
Liu Lin, the guardian of the capital, valued him very much and made promises to him more than once.
A scholar dies for a confidant. Although Gao Shen is more inclined to Confucianism cultivators, he already knows that martial arts cultivation is not an option when Confucianism cultivators are unlikely to make much progress.
If you can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, you will definitely become famous in the future.
Isn’t it true that people live their whole lives just to gain fame and fortune?
At least Gao Shen thinks so.
In his opinion, as long as he can get these two things, his trip to the world will be in vain.
Liu Lin, the Protector-General, treated him well, and he could not do anything to disappoint the Protector-General.
The reason why so many past events came to mind at once was because the Great Protector wanted him to use Haoran Qi to frighten the black lumps that would explode when the Western Region Tantra spells were cast.
Awesome.
This name is familiar yet unfamiliar.
Gao Shen couldn't help but think of his past at Haoran Academy.
That time was both wonderful and boring.
The beautiful thing is that he can learn everything greedily like a baby.
The boring thing is that it is difficult for him to truly get in touch with the core of Haoran's righteousness.
The mountain leader seemed to have been holding back and not teaching him the real core things.
That's all, now that it's all gone, it's no longer important.
People always have to look forward and cannot always limit themselves to a closed space.
Unless forced, Gao Shen would not force out the awe-inspiring spirit.
This thing has been buried in his consciousness for so many years that Gao Shen almost forgot that he still had the aura of awe-inspiringness.
But it has existed.
Even if it seems a little strange, it can still be awakened after a gentle call.
Gao Shen suppressed his disgust for Haoran Qi and began to call softly.
Slowly, the awe-inspiring energy of pure Yang emerged from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
At first it just popped up, but then it started to gush out like water from a spring.
Gao Shen felt a burst of ecstasy.
Yes, it really is.
Sure enough, once you learn something like spiritual practice, you will never forget it.
It has formed a deep muscle memory and has formed a subconscious mind.
Once awakened, it will be exactly the same as before.
Of course, for Gao Shen, just awakening Haoran's righteousness is not enough, he must also master and use it skillfully.
Facing the soldiers of the Huolun Kingdom in the Western Regions, and facing the practitioners of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions who are likely to emerge, he must show a strong suppressive force.
This is crucial.
Because it will make them feel like they are a mysterious figure in the academy.
And if the momentum shown by Gao Shen is not enough, it will be difficult for the opponent to connect him with the real boss, so the suppression force will be much smaller.
Gao Shen knows very well that the duel between practitioners also pays attention to the so-called momentum.
Whoever has more momentum will have the advantage from beginning to end.
Even just a psychological advantage is extraordinary, because psychological advantages can eventually be transformed into behavioral advantages.
The duel between practitioners pays attention to points.
Therefore, practitioners will not fight to the death when they know that they are not as good as their opponents.
Because once injured, the practitioner will be in bad luck without allies.
Therefore, high-ranking officials must show full momentum from the beginning and must not hesitate at all.
Behind him are the support of tens of thousands of Anxi troops, so he has nothing to fear.
Hasalka set off.
Although he was very reluctant, he set off anyway.
Because he knew very well that people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
At this moment, he is no longer the aloof king of Yule Kingdom, but a sojourner who looks up to others.
It's not a good feeling to live under someone else's roof.
Hasalka must show his value in order for Ocampos to take him seriously.
Sure enough, there is no so-called pure friendship in this world.
All friendships are based on interests.
If you cannot provide equivalent benefits, everything will ultimately be in vain.
"Hey, I'm going on a mission to various countries this time. I hope there will be a good result."
Hasalka silently prayed to the God of Fire for his blessing.
If the envoy can win over enough allies this time, he can still gain a certain amount of respect.
Of course, Hasalka did not have high expectations for this.
There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
If you don't have such high expectations, you won't be disappointed.
The first place Hasalka decided to go to was Zuyan Country.
This city-state is not far from the Fire Wheel State and can be reached in two or three days at most.
It's just that Hasalka didn't have much friendship with Zuyan Country before, so he was not optimistic about this trip.
But you still have to go, even if you go through a process, you still have to go.
Compared with the crowds before and after the trip in the past, Hasalka's trip this time seemed a bit shabby, and there was nothing we could do about it.
The situation is not as good as human beings, after all, he is no longer the aloof king at this time.
A convoy of about ten people set off.
The yellow dust is billowing, and the dust is flying.
Hasalka choked and coughed several times, not to mention how uncomfortable she was.
Even though he was riding on horseback, Huang Chen tried his best to get into his mouth as if he was teasing him.
"Ahem."
Hasalka tried several times to cover his mouth and nose, but then he realized that it was in vain.
The dust is so big that even if there is only a crack exposed, it will crawl in along this crack.
"I hope we won't encounter a sandstorm, otherwise we will definitely suffer."
Hasalka knew very well that the most feared situation in the Western Region was sandstorms.
This thing can swallow up everything, let alone people, even horses and cargo will disappear in an instant.
But I don’t know if his mouth was opened, but the sandstorm really appeared more than an hour after they set off.
It wasn't obvious at first, until the violent sand blew up, drowning everything in sight.
Hasalka quickly shouted: "Hurry, hide quickly. Hide in the cave."
In this vast Gobi Desert, there are actually many caves with karst landforms.
Now the biggest hope for Hasalka and others is to hide in these caves to avoid the long yellow sand.
A group of more than ten people trudged into the depths of the desert in great embarrassment.
"Keep working harder, we're almost there."
"Yes, if we work harder, the cave is right in front of us. As long as we hide in the cave, we will be safe."
"Yes, please don't be discouraged."
The weather in the Gobi desert is like this, it can change at any time.
The sky may be clear one moment, and the sand may blow the next moment.
Human beings are the most insignificant in the Gobi Desert. If you want to avoid being swallowed up, the best way is to go with the flow and not fight against God.
"We're here, we're finally here."
The moment he touched the cave, Hasalka gasped for air.
He was holding his breath with all his strength, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of swallowing all the sand when he opened his mouth.
After entering the cave, Hasalka sat down on the ground. He shook the sand from his body desperately, but this was obviously in vain.
There was so much sand on his body that it was impossible to shake it off.
"What shall we do now, my lord?"
A group of more than ten people all turned their attention to Hasalka, their eyes full of confusion.
Yes, although Hasalka is no longer the king, he is still the imperial envoy after all.
As the special envoy of the Fire Wheel Country, he plays a decisive role.
At least that's how it seems to these servants.
"What else can we do? Let's wait until this man-eating yellow sandstorm disappears."
Hasalka spat out a mouthful of sand, shook his head and said, "Do you dare to go out until this sandstorm is over? Anyway, I don't dare."
Hasalka knew very well that walking in a sandstorm was very dangerous, and he would be swept away if he was not careful.
In such an environment, people have no control over their own destiny, and all they can do is leave it to fate.
Of course Hasalka does not want to leave his life to God. Unlike those untouchables, his life is very noble.
Hasalka also hopes to restore the country and ascend the throne of king again.
"I don't know when this sandstorm will end."
"Yeah, looking at this, I'm afraid it won't end for a while."
"Just wait, why are you so anxious? It will end sooner or later anyway."
Hasalka knew very well that the current situation was very special and he had to endure it.
Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can great things be achieved.
I don't know how long the sandstorm lasted, and I couldn't tell the difference between day and night in the cave.
Hasalka forced herself to suppress her impulses. Curiosity killed the cat. She must not be careless at this time.
It wasn't until he heard the sounds outside the cave getting quieter that he realized that the sandstorm was probably over.
"Let's go take a look!"
"Well, go and have a look."
Soon they came to the cave and gasped when they saw the yellow sand piled up to half of the cave entrance.
"The sand is so high. Hiss."
"It's terrible, it's terrible."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how about we wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for? If we don't dig out this sand, won't we be able to get out until it accumulates?"
"Well, yes, we still need to work harder now, at least to clean up the sand at the entrance of the cave. Otherwise, if this continues, we may not even be able to get out of the cave, let alone get on the road."
"Work harder for everyone and don't spare the effort!"
"Come on, everyone lend a hand, come on!"
Soon, Hasalka and others had cleared all the sand and soil at the entrance of the cave.
There is strength in numbers, so a dozen of them tried their best to escape and ascend to heaven.
It's so thrilling in the Gobi Desert.
It may be sunny and windy one moment, but there may be a sandstorm the next.
“Finally out”
Hasalka raised her hands to the sky and thanked the God of Fire.
"Now we have to continue on our way!"
"Teacher, this Taoist Qi nourishing technique is really amazing. After trying it a few times, I found that the Qi in my body has relaxed a lot, and I no longer fight each other."
After a period of conditioning, the true energy in Zhao Xun's consciousness has softened a lot.
Although I haven't mastered it to the point where I can use it for my own use, it's pretty close.
"Well, that's good. But you must be careful not to be careless. You must conduct regular guidance every day to prevent the true energy from being disordered again."
"Yes, I took note of it."
"By the way, mentor, why don't you stay in Haoran Academy during this period."
"Well, that's what I mean as a teacher."
"Teacher, my current realm should be at the fourth level, right?"
Having endured so much pain, Zhao Xun is now certainly looking forward to a breakthrough.
"Let me come and take a look."
Wu Quanyi directly placed his palm on his Tianling Cap and fell into trance instantly.
"I'm going in for my teacher."
Wu Quanyi said hello to Zhao Xun, and then entered Zhao Xun's sea of consciousness.
Zhao Xun's sea of consciousness was very broad, Wu Quanyi entered it and followed the veins to search for various kinds of true energy.
"Well, part of this true energy has been fused. Although the rest has not yet been fused, it has been tamed a lot."
"The realm has reached the fourth level, which is very good."
Wu Quanyi then withdrew.
Zhao Xun was a little excited and said: "Teacher, have I reached the fourth level?"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
Wu Quanyi nodded slightly and said: "The first person you have reached the fourth level is the Confucianism cultivator. As for the martial arts cultivator and Taoism cultivator, the level will also be improved accordingly."
"Very good!"
"Next, I just need to stabilize my soul."
Zhao Xun has a very powerful and special three cultivation system.
As long as one of the practice systems reaches a certain level, the other practice systems will also reach the corresponding level.
"The fourth grade is already considered a high-level practitioner, but you must not be arrogant and complacent. After all, you are a disciple of the academy."
"There are many second-grade disciples among the academy disciples, and there are even more third-grade disciples. In fact, your fourth-grade disciple is not very impressive, so don't be arrogant and careless."
"I know my mentor."
"In this way, during this period of time you will practice in the bamboo forest, focusing on stabilizing your soul. Your teacher will also guide you one-on-one."
Good guy! Reliable!
"Thank you, mentor!"
Hasalka feels lost!
They kept going in circles in the Gobi Desert. They had been walking for three days and three nights, but they were still going in circles.
"What should we do? We are completely lost now!"
"Where's the compass? Take it out quickly."
"I can't find it. It must have been lost in the cave."
"."
"Then what should we do? If we can't determine the direction, we will be trapped here."
"Don't say these depressing words. What's the use of saying this now except disturbing everyone's mood?"
"Sir, please give me an idea. We really don't know what to do now."
"Calm down first. Let's stay calm first. Don't get excited."
Hasalka tried his best to keep everyone calm, then took out a compass from the package and said: "I have a backup here."
"."
"Sir, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Didn't I see you were arguing just now?"
Hasalka sighed and said: "At this time, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. We must not fight among ourselves."
Hasalka turned the compass and began to judge the direction.
"This way!"
"Quick, everyone go this way!"
Hasalka was overjoyed: "Keep walking along here and don't stop!"
Yule City.
After a period of rest and recuperation, Protector Liu Lin finally decided to send troops again.
"We must win the Fire Wheel Country this time!"
After returning from the last failure, Liu Lin made a summary and analyzed the main reasons for the previous failure.
He believes that failure lies with the practitioners.
So this time he asked Gao San to make complete preparations.
This former academy disciple's cultivation level is extremely high.
It can be of great help to the Anxi Army in siege battles.
Moreover, Gao Shen's awe-inspiring righteousness can also deter the secret techniques of Buddhism in the Western Regions.
This time, the Anxi Army must not allow any flaws to appear, and must win Huolun City in one step.
"Go and invite the senior counselor, I, the general, will give you my final instructions."
Liu Lin still felt a little uneasy and wanted to give some final explanations.
"Oasis, there is an oasis ahead!"
Hasalka shouted in ecstasy and almost hysteria.
He was the first to rush to the pond in the oasis, picked up water and splashed it on his face.
“So cool!”
It’s really not easy to encounter the rain after a long drought.
They drank greedily from the pond and filled their water bladders when they were full.
"Thank you to the God of Fire for your blessing, thank you to the God of Fire for your protection!"
Hasalka pointed her hands in the sky: "Thank you, really thank God."
"God, you must guide us to find the location of our allies."
Just then there was a loud thunder.
Then came the heavy rain.
There was lightning and thunder for a while, and everyone was startled.
"God, are you angry?"
"Did we do something to make you angry?"
"God, if we do something that makes you angry, please make it clear."
God didn't seem to respond, and the lightning and thunder became more intense.
"Boom!"
Lightning suddenly struck a dead tree, and it immediately burst into flames.
"Stab it!"
"The God of Fire has appeared, the God of Fire has appeared!"
Hasalka was so excited that he jumped like a primitive man and trotted beside the campfire.
"Thank you God of Fire, thank God of Fire!"
In the Palace of Fire Wheel King.
King Ocampos was drinking and having fun.
A group of young women gathered around him and poured wine for him.
"Your Majesty, please drink."
Ocampos happily hugged a young woman into his arms and squeezed her hard.
"Tsk tsk tsk, come and feed me."
The young woman quickly put the wine glass into Ocampos' mouth.
"Beautiful."
Ocampos smiled and praised: "You have a really good figure."
"How about you stay and be my princess?"
"The king hates it."
The singer said coquettishly: "The king is trying to make people happy again. If the slave family can really become the king's woman, then it is really a dream."
"Well, I will ask you to be my woman tonight, and you must serve me well."
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
Zhao Xun did not sit idle after breaking through the realm, but kept thinking about how to stabilize his cultivation.
After all, he has just reached the fourth level, and his foundation is still unstable.
If you are a little careless at this time, the cultivation level that you finally improved may be lost.
This is not what Zhao Xun wants to see.
The fourth grade of Confucianism is Qijiajing.
The classic signature of Qijiajing is to gather the efforts of all relatives and friends within a radius of one mile.
In other words, you can use your strength to concentrate your cultivation in a short period of time and improve your own strength.
The upper limit of this trick is very high. The more relatives and friends nearby, the more power it will increase.
Of course Zhao Xun knew that these relatives and friends included academy disciples.
In other words, the people he can rely on most are the senior brothers and sisters in the academy.
If he encounters danger, Zhao Xunda can shout out the corresponding formula.
At that time, all the nearby brothers and sisters can become Zhao Xun’s help.
Moreover, it is not even necessary for the senior brothers and sisters to take action themselves, as long as they lend their support to Zhao Xun.
"My dear disciple, how are you practicing?"
Since he agreed to live in Haoran Academy, Taoist Priest Qinglian would naturally come to see Zhao Xun from time to time.
The first is to supervise the progress of Zhao Xun's practice, and the second is to help Zhao Xun improve to the maximum extent.
With a second-grade strongman guiding the way, Zhao Xun can avoid many detours and improve himself as quickly as possible.
"Teacher, I am practicing gathering strength now. It's just that sometimes I get distracted. With this distraction, the strength that I finally gathered is completely dissipated, which makes me very depressed."
"oh"
Taoist Master Qinglian said calmly: "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. Your key problem is not from your internal strength, but from your psychology. Do you have no self-confidence?"
Um?
I have to say that Taoist Master Qinglian is worthy of being a member of the Taoist sect, and his ability to observe the mind is unparalleled.
He could easily see through Zhao Xun's state of mind at this moment.
"Indeed, the main reason is that my disciple is afraid to borrow the cultivation energy from his relatives and friends."
"Don't you dare?"
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi said leisurely while stroking his beard: "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think, because these are your closest relatives and loved ones, so you will feel embarrassed. Right?"
"That's what it means."
"Then think about it this way. You must have been in a dangerous situation when you used this trick, right?"
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi follows the Tao and is good at teaching.
"Yes, that's for sure. If it weren't for a critical moment, I definitely wouldn't use this trick."
"So what are you embarrassed about? Your relatives and friends definitely don't want you to be in danger, right? You can use their power to finally get out of trouble, which is definitely what they want to see."
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi completely enlightened Zhao Xun with just a few words, and Zhao Xun also suddenly realized it as if he was enlightened.
People do lose themselves sometimes, but only for a moment.
Zhao Xun has completely found himself at this moment and will no longer be confused.
"Thank you, my mentor, for your advice. My disciple now has a great enlightenment and understands it completely."
"Well, you did a great job."
Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi nodded, nodded slightly and said: "Good disciple, as long as you maintain your current state, you will definitely be able to achieve great success in the future. The master has seen a good seedling, and even as a teacher, he has no
Wrong person."
Zhao Xun has one advantage, that is, he is thick-skinned.
Therefore, no matter how much his master, brothers and sisters praise him, he will not feel embarrassed.
"Thank you very much for the compliment, my mentor. I will keep up my efforts."
"Zuyan Country? Is the country ahead really the Zuyan Country? Am I right?"
Hasalka stomped her feet excitedly when she saw the city wall.
But until now, he was not sure that what he saw must be true.
Mirages are so common in the desert that maybe what he just saw was just an apparition.
Don't panic when encountering this situation, as long as you take a closer look, you can tell that what you see is not real.
Hasalka took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
You must not lose your mind due to excitement at this time.
After calming down, Hasalka completely calmed down.
After adjusting hard, he took square steps towards the city wall.
If it was a mirage, no matter how close he walked, the scene in front of him would be the same size.
But this time, as Hasalka walked closer and closer, the scene in front of him became clearer and clearer. Hasalka was almost convinced that he was the Zuyan Kingdom in front of him!
The authentic ancestral rock country!
Great, really great.
Hasalka was so excited that she knelt on the ground.
He grabbed the ground with his head and burst into tears!
We can’t blame Hasalka for being pretentious.
He has gone through too much.
After a person has experienced so much, his mood will definitely change.
They encountered sandstorms and water shortages in the desert.
After escaping from death several times, King Hasalka, who was usually pampered and comfortable, realized how difficult it was to survive.
He will also work harder and harder to live.
"Hurry, follow me quickly. Zuyan Kingdom has arrived."
Although Hasalka was in a very excited mood at the moment, he had not forgotten the responsibilities of his trip.
Ocampos has already criticized him.
If he wants to regain Ocampos' trust, Hasalka must complete this mission beautifully.
"It's too difficult, it's really too difficult."
"It's not easy. It's really not easy. The God of Fire has blessed us. The God of Fire has blessed us."
"Thank you to the God of Fire. Thank you to the God of Fire for your protection."
Everyone present believed that the reason why they were able to escape death and save themselves from danger many times was because the God of Fire was blessing them in the sky.
So now they want to express their gratitude to Vulcan.
They want to show their extremely pious side.
Only in this way will the God of Fire continue to bless and protect them.
After praying with great piety, Hasalka got up from the ground, and everyone else also got up.
"Now, we have to enter Zuyan City to express our identity as envoys and express our intentions to them."
Hasalka cleared her throat and regained her royal demeanor.
"Well, that's natural."
"Come in quickly."
"yes."
Hasalka nodded with satisfaction. At least he still played a decisive role in this mission.
These guys are so ignorant. If he hadn't guided them along the way, they probably wouldn't have gotten here.
"Don't talk too much after you enter the city, just follow me."
Hasalka emphasized: "Read more and talk less. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. But if you say something that shouldn't be said, even gods can't save you. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
you."
In terms of size, Zuyan City is actually similar to Yule City and Huolun City.
But because it is an oasis in the desert, its topography is quite different from the other two cities.
Hasalka immediately felt this difference after entering the city.
Strange palm trees are planted on both sides of the street, which are rare to see in some cities in the eastern part of the Western Region.
It is said that the further west you go, the more common this palm tree becomes.
Of course, Hasalka was not in the mood to admire these palm trees at the moment. Gu Zhao
What he urgently needs to do now is to quickly enter the palace and express his intention to the king of Zuyan Kingdom.
If they can form an alliance with Zuyan Country, that would be a perfect start.
Of course, if they can't convince the king of Zuyan Kingdom, then the problem will be a bit difficult to solve.
Nowadays, the number of warring factions and peace-promoting factions among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region is almost the same, and no one can convince the other.
If they want to form an alliance again, the best way is to win over the fence-sitters, that is, the neutral factions.
These countries are the most monkey-minded. The reason why they are not in a hurry to express their opinions is that they hope to observe more to obtain the greatest benefits.
They are the ones who don't let the hawk see the rabbit. If Hasalka can't show them enough benefits this time, they won't agree easily.
Of course, Hasalka came prepared this time.
His biggest trump card is nothing else, but the fact that he has just experienced the war.
Not just once, but twice.
Hasalka even lost the city of Yule because of this, and a good king became a vagabond.
If Ocampos hadn't taken him in, he would have starved to death on the streets by now.
Of course, even in this case, the gap in Hasalka's status is also very huge.
If the king of Zuyan Country does not want to end up like this, the best choice is to form an alliance with the main war faction.
Hasalka has already prepared the draft more than once before, and the next thing to do is to completely convince the king of Zuyan Kingdom.
Zuam King Palace.
King Helimu of the Zuyan Kingdom stared straight at Hasalka in front of him with a pair of sapphire eyes.
"That's it. This is the war we just experienced. The Anxi army is too brutal. If it weren't for the blessing of the God of Fire, we would definitely not be able to defend Huolun City."
Hasalka basically restored the course of the war, but he still exaggerated some details.
This is to better bluff Helimu.
But Helimu was obviously not a three-year-old child and did not believe Hasalka's words.
"If what you said is true, why do you still come to us to seek an alliance? Aren't you already able to repel the Anxi Army on your own?"
"this"
Facing Helimu's question, Hasalka's eyes started to roll.
"It's like this. With the blessing of the God of Fire, we can certainly repel the Anxi Army once. But we can't repel the Anxi Army every time. After all, the strength of the Anxi Army is there and cannot be underestimated. Their number
It is several times ours, and we can be killed by attrition alone. We need allies, and only by gaining enough allies can we repel the Anxi Army more times, and even drive the Anxi Army out of the Western Regions completely.
, return a bright future to the Western Regions."
Hasalka's reflexes were very fast and his eloquence was excellent. He immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
Helimu fell silent.
He did not respond immediately.
Because he is calculating, calculating the way to make the most profit.
After a long time, Heli Mufang said in a deep voice: "You want me to form an alliance with you to fight against the Anxi Army together? You must show enough sincerity."
This is how negotiation works, there is no need to go around and around, both parties have their own bargaining chips.
Then there will be a lot of push and pull. If we can talk about it, it will be best. If we can't reach an agreement, we will break up.
"Our sincerity is to start mutual trade with Zuyan Country and buy a large amount of Zuyan Country's granite. This can bring a lot of gold and silver income to Zuyan Country."
Hasalka swallowed his foam and said, "And Zuyan Country can also purchase Huolun Country's clay at a reasonable price. We can guarantee that the clay sold to Zuyan Country is the best."
Hasalka's words really touched Helimu.
He swallowed and forced himself to calm down.
These are no longer small favors.
So Helimu is really tempting.
But maybe the conditions can be negotiated better.
After all, Huolun Nation is asking for something from them at this moment, so Helimu naturally has to take good care of it and cannot negotiate a lower price.
"Isn't this just enough?"
Helimu's words made Hasalka feel cold.
The reason why he was able to talk freely was because the conditions he proposed just now were directly promised to him by Ocampos before he set off.
That's why he was able to promise Helimu with a pat on his chest.
Now, although Hasalka is still a king in name, he no longer rules a subject.
So he is at best a confidant of Ocampos.
How dare Hasalka easily agree to something that Ocampos has not agreed to?
"what do you want?"
When you don't know the opponent's trump card, the best way is not to agree easily.
It is the wisest choice to tentatively put forward some conditions, see how the other party reacts, and then make targeted responses.
"Very simple answer."
Heli Mu spread his hands and said, "I want pottery craftsmen from the Fire Wheel Kingdom."
hiss.
Hearing this, Hasalka took a deep breath.
It has to be said that the conditions proposed by Helimu are very harsh.
Pottery making is a unique skill of the Huolin Kingdom.
It is not a problem to sell some pottery to Zuyanguo or even give them some pottery.
But giving them the potter's gift is another matter entirely.
These pottery craftsmen have mastered the pottery making skills of the Fire Wheel Kingdom. If they come to the Zuyan Country, it won't be long before Zuyan Country can also train a group of pottery craftsmen to quickly reproduce the pottery of the Fire Wheel Country.
From then on, the pottery of the Fire Wheel Kingdom will no longer be unique, and the pottery of the Fire Wheel Country will not be purchased by other countries in the Western Regions.
Ocampos certainly cannot afford this loss.
"This... is not good."
Hasalka said bluntly.
He knew that Ocampos would not agree, so there was no need to give Helimu unrealistic hopes at this juncture.
Helimu knew that Hasalka would flatly refuse.
In fact no one in their right mind would agree.
Nor did he expect Hasalka to agree to his terms.
But Youdao always charges high prices and pays back the money.
In order to prevent Hasalka's counteroffer from being too harsh, Helimu could only put forward an unreasonable or even arrogant condition at the beginning. Only in this way could he take the initiative.
This is also a negotiation strategy.
That's how negotiations are, no one expects to be able to negotiate a price right away.
The best way is to keep grinding.
Whoever can keep his composure can take more initiative in negotiations and seize more benefits.
But Helimu is clearly the one taking the initiative.
Because it was someone else who asked for something from him, and the request came to his door.
If he refuses, he will lose some interests, and if the Fire Wheel Country refuses, he will lose more than just an ally.
Because the attitude of Helimu or Zuyanguo can be a good example to other countries.
Other countries saw Zuyan Country doing this, and if they followed suit, they were afraid that Huolun Country wouldn't even be able to get an ally.
This is what Hasalka and Ocampos fear most.
It can be said that Helimu had them under control from the very beginning.
"And I can't promise you. Otherwise, I will take this news back to King Ocampos and explain it to see how he makes a decision."
Hasalka naturally couldn't make the decision, so he made this suggestion.
"No need."
Helimu didn't mean to refuse outright, it was just to whet Hasalka's appetite.
He cleared his throat and said: "Okay, I can verbally agree to form an alliance with you first. As for whether we can conclude an alliance specifically, it depends on your sincerity. You should understand what I mean."
Good guy, this guy is really an expert.
Hasalka thought.
Now he completely understood what kind of medicine this guy was selling.
So he nodded and said: "That's fine. In this case, we will return to Huolun Country first. I hope that an alliance between the two countries can be reached as soon as possible."
Haoran Academy, Bamboo Forest.
Zhao Xun is sparring with the bamboo forest swordsman Yao Yan.
Some people say that the quality of a person's sparring can be seen in the quality of that person.
Although there are some slight biases, it generally makes sense.
Zhao Xun has now broken through to the fourth level, which can be said to be a master level.
When he looks for a sparring partner, he definitely can't just find some random cats and dogs.
But it's not appropriate to sparring with the senior brothers and sisters from the academy.
This is not only because of the issue of seniority, but also because he is a little too familiar with the routines of his senior brothers and sisters.
Being too familiar will cause Zhao Xun to make targeted responses during the sparring process, which will not truly reflect Zhao Xun's current strength.
But Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, is different.
Although Zhao Xun and Yao Yan had met several times before, they still maintained a considerable sense of strangeness between them.
Moreover, Zhao Xun has never fought against Yao Yan before. Let alone familiar with the routine, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is unfamiliar.
As for Yao Yan's strength, there is no need to say more.
Can the person Second Senior Sister likes be different?
A dignified first-class practitioner would serve as a sparring partner for Zhao Xun, so Zhao Xun could have some fun secretly.
"Yao Jianxian please."
Although it is sparring, you still need to have the proper attitude.
Zhao Xun hugged Yao Yan respectfully, and Yao Yan nodded slightly in return.
Yao Yan did not draw his sword.
Firstly, it was because he was practicing, and secondly, he thought there was no need to draw his sword when facing a fourth-grade junior.
Yao Yan is holding a wooden stick in his hand.
But Zhao Xun pulled out the Minghong Sword without hesitation.
There is no way anyone can make him inferior in strength. If he doesn't think of ways to create a gap in weapons, he won't even have the strength to fight Yao Yan.
"Canglang Sword Technique!"
Zhao Xun silently recited the formula, and his intention to move the sword suddenly arose.
The core of Canglang Sword Technique is domineering.
As long as you use a domineering feeling, you will definitely be able to bring out the core of Canglang Sword Technique.
Even if there is not ten points of force, there is still eight or nine points of force.
"The first form, the waves break through the sea!"
Zhao Xun slashed with his sword without hesitation, and the Minghong Saber headed towards the face of the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan with a domineering aura.
Without any hesitation, Yao Yan directly raised the wooden stick to block Zhao Xun's sharp sword intent.
hiss!
Zhao Xun gasped when he saw this.
He didn't expect that the sword he used with almost all his strength was not threatening at all in front of Yao Yan.
This made Zhao Xun extremely embarrassed.
"Oh, this is too difficult."
Zhao Xun felt despair for the first time.
The gap between him and Yao Yan is too obvious, and there is no hope of winning.
There is such a huge gap between the first and fourth grades.
"Second style, the dragon swings its tail."
Zhao Xun was unwilling to give in and continued to try again.
This time, he changed his tactics and tried to win by chance.
The core of Shenlong's tail swing is to attack from the front on the surface, but when he is about to face the opponent, he will move lightly and hit hard from the flank.
Zhao Xun thought that his movements were very fast, but the moment he was about to touch Yao Yan, Yao Yan easily pushed him away with a wooden stick.
Despite Yao Yan's seemingly light move, Zhao Xun was blown away and fell onto a bamboo, breaking the bamboo.
Seeing that he had exerted too much force, Yao Yan quickly stepped forward to check.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Zhao Xun fall into disgrace, Yao Yan was really worried.
"It should be fine."
Zhao Xun looked at his body and saw no external injuries.
As for the internal injuries, although they are hard to see, they should not be serious.
"Yao Jianxian, how did you manage to move a thousand pounds with four ounces? These two moves of mine were handed down from the mountain chief himself, so why don't they pose any threat to you?"
Zhao Xun seemed a little disappointed.
After all, this set of Canglang Sword Techniques was personally passed down by the mountain chief, and Zhao Xun had tried it repeatedly.
But facing a truly strong person, this set of sword skills is like a child playing house, and is not good enough at all.
"Although your sword skills are good, you are too deliberate."
Yao Yan didn't mean any reservations, and said without mercy: "You are so deliberate, you can still win against a practitioner who is lower than you. But if you encounter an opponent who is similar to your realm, or higher than you,
You have almost no chance of winning. In other words, the reason why you were able to win before was not because of how powerful your sword skills were, but because your state could steadily defeat your opponent. If you use other sword skills or sword skills,
You can win too."
Damn it, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy really doesn’t show any mercy at all.
Zhao Xun felt extremely embarrassed.
But this is good, at least it directly points out the problem of Zhao Xun.
I'm afraid that if I hesitate to speak clearly, not only will it not help Zhao Xun, it may also harm him, making him mistakenly think that he is very powerful and stay in his comfort zone.
A person, a practitioner, a practitioner who wants to become a peerless master must dare to face up to his own shortcomings, face his own weaknesses, and dare to step out of his comfort zone.
Now that Yao Yan is helping him, Zhao Xun feels good.
Zhao Xun fell down again and again and got up again and again.
I have to say that Yao Yan's sparring partner is indeed ruthless and very strict.
However, Zhao Xun cannot ask for too much.
After all, sparring is expensive.
He didn't pay any money, so it was like he got a sparring partner for free.
Since it’s free, why do you need a bicycle?
"It won't work anymore. It really won't work now. Yao Jianxian, let's take a rest first. The best combination of work and rest is the best."
Zhao Xun really couldn't hold it anymore, but if he could hold it up, he wouldn't speak easily.
Because this involves the dignity of a practitioner and a man.
"Okay, let's take a rest first."
Now that he finally has some free time, in addition to studying and practicing hard every day, Zhao Xun also makes some snacks and cooks in his free time.
It is said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen.
Zhao Xun disagreed.
In his opinion, cooking is a process that allows one to calm down and relax, which helps a person understand himself better.
Generally speaking, people's understanding of themselves is one-sided, or a person only instinctively wants to see the side he wants to see.
As for the side he doesn't want to see, he will try his best to refuse to see it.
It will even be blocked.
Under this selective cognition, there is nothing wrong with being one-sided.
But when cooking, you will completely let go and be completely immersed in the whole process.
At this time, you will experience an unprecedented sense of relief, which will really make you overjoyed.
When a dish is finished, the feeling of accomplishment is beyond words.
At least that's what Zhao Xun thinks.
"Yao Jianxian, I recently made a dish called Malatang, which is very delicious. Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, this Malatang is steaming hot. Just one bowl can keep you warm from the cold, and the taste is amazing. Oh, not to mention how fragrant it is."
Zhao Xun was drooling as he spoke, making Yao Yan also greedy.
Facts have proved that no one can resist the temptation of delicious food, not even the sword fairy.
Yao Yan tried his best to resist the urge to swallow his saliva, because he thought it would harm his image as a first-class swordsman.
Why did the good Zhao Xun bring up this spicy hotpot? He really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Well, in that case, why not give it a try?"
Yao Yan's words made Zhao Xun feel ecstatic in his heart.
Haha, let’s just say, no one can refuse Malatang!
"Please wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
To say that making Malatang is not complicated, it can even be said to be simple.
Compared with hot pot, the production process of Malatang is simpler, and the picture is easy and convenient.
It can be said that the essence of Malatang lies in its base.
If the base ingredients are mixed well, the taste will be amazing.
Zhao Xun restrained his greed and went to the kitchen to start mixing the base ingredients.
Well, keep a low profile. You must keep a low profile at this time. You must not make it known to everyone.
This is the first time that Zhao Xun makes spicy hotpot in the academy, and he plans to give his senior brothers and sisters a surprise.
Since it is a surprise, naturally you cannot let them know in advance. It must come unexpectedly and surprise them.
This will give you a different kind of pleasure.
For a gourmet, the process of tasting or enjoying food is very special.
When the delicious food comes into contact with the mouth and taste buds, the mellow flavor spreads in the mouth and fills the entire mouth in an instant.
That feeling is truly amazing.
Zhao Xun can still recall the feeling of Malatang, which left a fragrance on his lips and teeth.
As for the numbing and spicy feeling that makes people sweat, it is even more fascinating and can't stop.
It's hard to describe it in words, it's really hard to describe it, it just makes people feel so happy.
"Well, add more Sichuan peppercorns, more chili peppers, less oil and less salt."
Zhao Xun put the seasonings into the basin while recalling his exclusive secret recipe.
Mix and stir to allow all the seasonings to be deeply integrated, and the aroma will overflow. It is really amazing.
Zhao Xun couldn't stand it at the beginning. This was not Malatang, it was a delicacy in the world.
In fact, the more delicious the food, the simpler the production process is.
It doesn't require so many fancy so-called exquisite craftsmanship, it just depends on the taste of the ingredients and seasonings.
I feel like I'm back to nature now.
Gee, if his talent in cooking could be transplanted into spiritual practice, he should be more than just a fourth-grade practitioner now.
After preparing the ingredients and placing them in the pot, Zhao Xun hummed a tune while waiting for them to be cooked.
The ratio of ingredients is determined based on Zhao Xun's personal preferences. However, Zhao Xun feels that his taste is the so-called public taste, so the ingredients he chooses should be liked by everyone.
After about a moment, Zhao Xun took the cooked ingredients out of the pot and poured them into the prepared iron pot.
"La la la, la la la"
Mix and stir, the ingredients and seasonings are deeply mixed, and the aroma is infused.
Zhao Xun only took one breath and felt the absolute pleasure.
Haha, it smells so good.
Malatang should be eaten while it's hot, so now he has to quickly deliver the freshly cooked Malatang to Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy.
Yao Jianxian has been training with Yao Jianxian for so long, and Zhao Xun has not paid out a single coin, so he feels somewhat sorry.
Serving a steaming bowl of Malatang at this time will definitely make people feel full sincerity.
Zhao Xun will still be counting on the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan to some extent in the future, so naturally he will try to please him from the beginning.
Soon Zhao Xun brought a basin full of prepared spicy hotpot to Yao Yan.
Yao Yan had already smelled the fragrance but didn't know where it came from.
When he smelled the fragrance coming from far away, Yao Yan was completely intoxicated.
"It smells so good. Zhao Xun has never heard that you can cook before."
"Uh, won't Second Senior Sister tell you about delicious food?"
Second Senior Sister Zhao Xundao, could it be that what she was talking about with the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan all day long was practicing Kung Fu? This is too harsh.
"She never told me these things. I just tried to make them by myself. I didn't ask for any color, flavor or flavor, just that it could fill my stomach."
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan said with a frown, his eyes full of sadness.
"Well, come and try it quickly. The taste of this spicy hotpot should make you soar to the sky."
Yao Yan didn't hesitate, picked up the spicy mix and took a bite.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this tastes really good. Zhao Xun, you didn't lie to me. This taste really belongs to heaven."
Yao Yan only took one bite and was completely intoxicated.
Malatang will definitely be included in his common recipes in the future.
“The spicy hotpot is really amazing.”
Yao Yan started to inhale the storm and finished the entire bowl with a wind-swept attitude.
Zhao Xun witnessed the entire process.
Good guy, I didn’t realize it, but Yao Jianxian is still a jobber.
Yao Yan can cook very quickly, even faster than Wangcai.
Now Wangcai has finally found his opponent.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that if there is a chance in the future, he must let Wangcai and Yao Jianxian compete to see who is the real rice king and big stomach king.
After eating, Yao Yan patted his belly and said with satisfaction: "Zhao Xun, you have to give this Malatang to your second senior sister. I will count on her to make it for me in the future."
"."
Zhao Xun thought to Yao Jianxian, what are you daydreaming about?
Although the method of making Malatang is very simple, with the character of Second Senior Sister, she will take the initiative to go to the kitchen to make it for you?
Don’t even think about it!
Zhao Xun could clearly tell Yao Yan at this moment to give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible.
There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Don't give so many unrealistic hopes, and you won't be disappointed.
"Yao Jianxian, please take your time to reflect on this, and then go and make more to send to your senior brothers and sisters."
As the youngest member of the academy, Zhao Xun must of course try his best to please every senior brother and sister, and cannot favor one over the other.
Otherwise, whoever changes it will feel unhappy.
"La la la, la la la"
Zhao Xun hummed a little tune and jumped away.
The making of Malatang is simple. It didn't take long for Zhao Xun to make another large pot.
This time, Zhao Xun learned the lesson from Yao Yan and Yao Jianxian, and directly gave up the big pot plan, but divided Malatang into many small portions.
In this way, even the most ruthless foodie will not think about eating up all the spicy food in one go.
Eating small amounts and often is a reasonable eating habit.
"La la la, la la la."
Soon Zhao Xun was carrying Malatang through the bamboo forest.
But this time he didn't stop too long to prevent the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan from smelling the smell and pounce on him.
He went straight to the ink wash pond.
Senior brothers and sisters usually achieve enlightenment there.
"Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother!"
Sure enough, Zhao Xun saw those iconic figures from a distance.
"Junior brother?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was slightly startled, obviously not expecting why Zhao Xun would come at this time.
Isn't this a meal?
And what is the little junior brother doing with a basin in his hand?
"Why does this smell so good?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan's nose was very sensitive, and he smelled the fragrance immediately.
"Third Senior Brother, I'm here."
Zhao Xun ran to Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan with a face full of joy.
"This is Malatang, a newly developed dish of mine. Try it while it's hot."
Zhao Xun delivered the small portions that had been divided long ago to the hands of third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Then he distributed the other small portions to other senior brothers and sisters.
I have to say that the meal sharing system is really suitable.
This can resolve many conflicts to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if you hold one chopstick and I hold another.
"Brothers and sisters, please come and have a taste. After you taste it, you can give your opinions. I will make targeted improvements based on your opinions."
"Well"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan only took one bite and was immersed in absolute joy.
"Junior brother, the taste of this spicy hotpot is very special."
Xianlong Qingquan had never eaten anything so delicious before, and the taste was very special. He felt extremely happy for a while.
Zhao Xun was overjoyed.
It seems that the tastes of the ancients were similar.
As long as Malatang is popular, it will be easy to handle. The delicacy he prepared will definitely satisfy most people.
"Junior brother, this is too delicious."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying also praised: "I want to give it to Yao Yan to have a taste."
"Ahem, Second Senior Sister, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal has already tasted it."
Zhao Xun spread his hands and said, "I sent the first pot I made to Yao Jianxian as a reward for helping me practice."
"Oh okay."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying smiled slightly, very beautiful and charming.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good fellow, the second senior sister turns out to have a gentle and feminine side.
It's really rare.
In Zhao Xun's impression, the second senior sister Liu Yingying has always been the image of a frosty beauty, and is someone who refuses to stay thousands of miles away.
But it seems that the second senior sister doesn't know how to laugh or doesn't know how to be gentle, it's just that she hasn't met the right person.
When faced with the right person, Second Senior Sister can be a very young woman.
"You guys eat first, I'll cook another pot."
Zhao Xun was so busy that he forgot about his family. This is really inappropriate.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xun still felt that he had to cook a pot separately and then send it to his relatives.
Not to mention those relatives in the side family, at least my parents and sister have to be taken care of.
"Dad, mother, sister, try this spicy hotpot I made."
Zhao Xun showed great courtesy and said with a smile on his face.
"This Malatang should be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
"Xun'er, what is this? Why does Malatang taste so spicy?"
"Yes, Xun'er, isn't this spicy hotpot too strong?"
No, no, don’t you like it?
Zhao Xun was dumbfounded when he saw this.
Is there anyone who really doesn’t like the taste of Malatang?
This is unscientific.
Malatang should be a type suitable for all ages.
"Mom and Dad, this is how this Malatang is made. It emphasizes the preparation of strong ingredients."
“The more ingredients here, the more authentic the taste will be.”
"Fathers and mothers, don't be prejudiced. My son, I guarantee that you will never forget it once you take a bite of this spicy hotpot."
Zhao Xun persuaded him earnestly.
In his opinion, no one can refuse Malatang after tasting it.
"Okay, let's have a piece."
Zhao Yuan tried it first. He put a piece of food into his mouth and chewed it. The special taste instantly filled his mouth.
"Not bad, tsk tsk, it tastes really good."
“It really smells good.”
Zhao Yuan was instantly intoxicated.
The taste of Malatang is indeed magical, and many people cannot stop eating it after trying it.
"Indeed, the taste is absolutely amazing."
Mrs. Zhao Liu also praised it highly after tasting it.
"Sister, you should try it too."
Seeing that the little lolita Zhao Danshu had not tried it, Zhao Xun suggested from the side.
"Well"
The little lolita Zhao Danshu seemed a little hesitant, with her two dimples bulging one after another.
Finally she mustered up the courage to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.
The fragrance fills your mouth instantly.
Like everyone else who has tasted Malatang, the little lolita Zhao Danshu was instantly intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
"Absolutely amazing! It's absolutely amazing!"
“In this world, you can only live up to food and love!”
This is Zhao Xun's mantra, but he didn't expect it to become a reality now.
Cooking for your loved ones is undoubtedly a joyful thing.
"Brother Xun, hug me!"
The little Loli was so happy that she rushed directly into Zhao Xun's arms.
Well.
Zhao Xun's heart trembled when he was hit.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
"Sister, it's not my brother who said that."
"It's time for you to lose weight"
Zhao Xun said something very straight.
"Ooooooo, Brother Xun is bad, Brother Xun."
"Hit you, hit you."
"I'll hit you with my little fist!"
The little Loli hit Zhao Xun with a flurry of punches.
"Hey, that's not what I meant."
"Hey, spare me, spare me."
"."
Zhao Xun repeatedly begged for mercy.
"Oh, please forgive me, sister, please forgive me."
After some chatting and laughing, it was a pleasant story-telling session.
"The prince and the princess finally lived happily together and lived a happy life."
The little loli actually fell asleep while listening.
Zhao Xun carefully picked up the girl and put her on the bed.
He enjoys spending time with his relatives, and the quiet time is the most enjoyable moment.
"That's it"
After Hasalka explained the situation to Ocampos, Ocampos became furious.
"How dare he? He actually wants to take the pottery craftsman away."
"Who gave him the courage!"
Ocampos's chest rose and fell sharply.
"No, you absolutely can't accept this as a coward and accept that as a softie."
"Go tell him, it's impossible!"
Ocampos was so angry that he couldn't understand how the other party dared to say this.
"It's too much to bully others. It's really too much to bully others."
Ocampos said angrily: "Everything else is easy to discuss, but this is unnecessary!"
In the void space, countless dark wizards are lost.
They kept wandering and groping in the void space.
"what happened?"
"I don't know. I can't find the so-called nodule."
"."
"Didn't it mean that the cultivator on the opposite side has opened the door of darkness?"
"Although the Dark Door has been opened, the Nodule has not been found yet. Maybe they haven't found it in a short period of time like us."
".Then what should we do?"
"Hey, I can only keep looking."
On the other side, the high priest of the Demon Sect was also conducting inspections.
In comparison, he was under greater pressure.
Because the mountain chief could come out and kill him at any time, catching him off guard.
After finally entering the void, the High Priest of the Demon Sect naturally did not want to be chased by this old enemy again.
The sooner this knot is opened, the sooner the demons in that world can be released.
This is crucial.
Because the High Priest of the Demon Sect alone cannot defeat such a powerful opponent as Shan Zhang.
Therefore, timely adjustments are necessary.
Boom!
Then a loud noise was heard, and the High Priest of the Demon Sect turned his head to look back.
If he’s not the mountain chief, who is he?
"You didn't expect that I could actually catch up with you."
Shan Changyun said calmly.
The Demon Sect's high priest's face was livid, not to mention how ugly he looked.
"."
"Why are you chasing me? How did you find the entrance to the Dark Portal?"
"Do you think you are the only one who knows the invisibility spell? Do you think everything will stop if you seal the entrance to the Dark Portal? You are too naive."
The mountain chief laughed loudly and said: "Today I will come to collect you, you monster."
I saw him wave his big hand, and a burst of strong energy followed.
Although the High Priest of the Demon Sect was well prepared, his body trembled in excitement and he subconsciously leaned back.
The general avoided the blow.
"You are too impulsive, don't you know? It is easy for you to enter this void space, but it is not that simple to get out."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect sneered and said, "If you are sealed in this space forever, then what's the point of defeating me?"
"What are you talking about? Do you think you can trap me?"
The mountain chief laughed loudly and said: "It's just you? You can't beat me outside. You think you can beat me when you enter the void space."
"Ha ha."
"Don't change your mind again. I never said I could beat you. What I mean is that you probably won't be able to get out of this void space and will be permanently sealed."
The mountain chief fell silent upon hearing this.
"You mean this is a big talisman array, right?"
"Yes, you are smart."
The high priest of the Demon Sect nodded and said: "Not only is the Taoist sect good at drawing talisman and forming formations, our Demon Sect is also proficient in this. In another world, those who are good at this are called black wizards. You are powerful outside, but in this space
Being suppressed by the talisman formation cannot bring out its full strength."
"So your cultivation power cannot be fully utilized, because cultivation has boundaries, and this talisman array is the boundary."
Although the High Priest of the Demon Sect said that the mountain was covered with mist, the mountain chief understood it clearly.
"You mean, if you want to die with me, tie me up here, right?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean to die together. This word is unlucky and I don't like it very much."
"But that's probably what it means."
"But the knot will still be opened and the demon will still be released."
The mountain leader said without hesitation: "Are you so sure?"
"Of course, I am convinced because I have the strength."
"You can't even try to kill me in the void space, because you can't catch me."
After the Demon Sect High Priest said this, his body disappeared like smoke.
"Tsk, tsk."
The corners of the mountain chief's lips slightly raised and he said, "It's a bit interesting."
"What is that light?"
The dark wizard in the void looked very excited when he spotted the light not far away.
Could it be the exit?
Or is it a nodule?
All of them became excited in an instant.
"Let's go take a look!"
After being exiled in a void space for so long, I urgently need a place to vent my emotions.
And now is the best time to vent your emotions.
As long as they can find an exit and finally get out, everything will be different.
They can open the door to a new world, and they can seize all the beautiful things in that world as their own.
They can do whatever they want.
Really do whatever you want!
"Come on, let's all try harder."
A phantom appeared in the dim darkness.
But this phantom only flashed by.
So it's hard for them to tell who this is.
I can't even tell if this is a human being.
"Who is coming!"
A dark wizard asked sternly.
no respond.
There was no response except his own echo.
"Hiss, who is causing trouble? Who is playing tricks on me?"
"Hey, everyone, please move closer, don't let him sneak up on you."
Knowing that danger was around them, all the dark wizards gathered together and decided to join forces to stay warm.
