After hearing Qiao Bai say that his cultivation level was only in the late stage of becoming a god, Wu Fengzi, who originally lowered his head to fiddle with the fairy grass, raised his head.
"According to my teacher's prediction, although your retreat time is a bit short, you should still reach the peak of divine transformation!"
Wu Fengzi looked at Qiao Bai with a serious face: "Tell me what the reason is!"
Although Qiao Bai felt uneasy, he still insisted on his opinion on this matter that he had already determined.
"Master, I beg you to forgive me. I always think of Jixiang Xiaozhu, so I have been unable to concentrate on cultivation in the past few months!"
Chopper was heartbroken and told the real reason why his cultivation did not meet Kirifuko's expectations. He was ready to receive Kirifuko's violent scoldings and even teach him a lesson.
Wu Fengzi did take action, but his hand patted Qiao Bai's shoulder, and the expression on his face changed from serious to laughing.
"Good boy, I know it's difficult to change the things you believe in. Yes, you really haven't changed!"
If you just listened to Wu Fengzi's words, even if he said it with a smile, Qiao Bai would think that he was being laughed at and that he was saying something sarcastic. However, the joy in Wu Fengzi's eyes was not fake, which made him confused for a moment.
mind.
"Teacher, Master, haven't you always been opposed to my yearning for the way of eating? Why do you seem to be so happy when I'm almost wasting my cultivation because of the incident with Jixiang Xiaozhu?"
Qiao Bai stammered, really couldn't believe the reaction he saw of Wu Fengzi.
"What do you think?" Wu Fengzi asked.
Qiao Bai frowned, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Master's reaction like this, the only thing that the disciple can think of is that Master Tiexian is back, and his methods are universal. The troubles in Danzong are no longer troubles. Now our imperial
Fengzong urgently needs to make good friends with Jixiang Xiaozhu!"
Qiao Bai is a smart man. When he was ordered to retreat, he already knew that in the conflict between Danzong and Jixiang Xiaozhu, Yufeng Sect would no longer side with Jixiang Xiaozhu. But now, Master is here
When I heard that he had delayed his cultivation because of Jixiang Xiaozhu, he was not angry but happy, which meant that Master was very happy that he still insisted on himself. He may be an important messenger to ease the relationship between Yufeng Sect and Jixiang Xiaozhu.
!After all, Gu Zheng had talked to him alone. Although he did not accept him as his disciple, he still gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Good boy, you are indeed smart!"
Wu Fengzi patted Qiao Bai's shoulder again: "However, things are not as you think. For some reasons, the Yufeng Sect had already stood on the side of Jixiang Xiaozhu before Senior Tie came back.
Now the relationship between our three sects in Dongxushan and Jixiang Xiaozhu is very good!"
Wu Fengzi told Qiao Bai what happened a few months ago, and Qiao Bai was extremely excited.
"Disciple had known that someone who could create such a mysterious school of food and drink would definitely be no ordinary person. Now it's just as I expected!" Qiao Bai said excitedly.
"How else can I say you are smart!"
Wu Fengzi was really pleased. At the beginning, Yufeng Sect treated Jixiang Xiaozhu very differently when no senior officials had any contact with Jixiang Xiaozhu. The reason was because Qiao Bai told them that they felt Gu Zheng
It's really extraordinary, maybe his own strength is extremely terrifying! Before Qiao Bai became obsessed with Jixiang Xiaozhu, because his talent was good enough, and he was Kirifengzi's beloved disciple, his words still had some weight! That's exactly what he said.
Because of Qiao Bai's evaluation, Wu Fengzi and Bei Fengzi decided to initially have a good attitude towards Yufeng Sect towards Jixiang Xiaozhu.
"Master, since Senior Tie is so powerful, you won't stop me from becoming my teacher now, right?" Qiao Bai said excitedly.
"Of course I won't stop him if I try to stop him, but whether or not Senior Tie will accept you as his disciple is another matter." Wu Fengzi said.
"At least I have had a private conversation with Senior Tie. I think those who can become Senior Tie's disciples may have a better chance than others, right?"
Qiao Bai's voice paused, and then he continued: "Senior Tie has returned strongly this time, and there must be many people who want to become his disciple. Has he accepted any disciples during this time?"
"Because our three sects in Dongxu Mountain are on the right side, Senior Tie gave us three quotas for three sects and one sect. The three quotas for Canglan Sect and Yinlei Sect have been used up. Senior Tie only accepted the recommendation of Canglan Sect.
A girl. Our Yufeng Sect has also used up two places, but it has not been taken seriously by Senior Tie. This last place is reserved for you. Since you have been released, I will take you to Jixiang now.
Xiaozhu!" Wu Fengzi said.
"Master, Senior Tie accepted the girl recommended by Canglan Sect as his disciple?"
Qiao Bai's eyes widened. In his opinion, it was extremely difficult to become Gu Zheng's disciple.
"It's not that I accept him as a disciple, I just agree to let him learn cooking skills from me," Wu Fengzi said.
"That's it!"
Qiao Bai nodded: "Master, let's go to Jixiang Xiaozhu then! I also want to know if Senior Tie will accept me as his disciple this time."
In Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng met Qiao Bai who was brought by Wu Fengzi.
Among the members of Jixiang Xiaozhu, Lingzhu is considered the most curious about Qiao Bai.
When Qiao Bai came to Jixiang Xiaozhu for the first time, Lingzhu had already discovered the difference between Gu Zheng and Qiao Bai, but asked Gu Zheng but got no answer. At that time, Jixiang Xiaozhu did not have Xiong San, Yun
Qingren and Jinyan.
Lingzhu, Xiong San and Master Yunqing all have a good impression of Qiao Bai, because he used to be a frequent visitor to Jixiang Xiaozhu and was very protective of Jixiang Xiaozhu. When Deacon Gan wanted to destroy Jixiang Xiaozhu,
If Qiao Bai hadn't informed Elder Tong in time, something bad might have happened.
Later, when Gu Zheng accepted Jin Yan, one of the three people recommended by the Canglan Sect was confiscated, and one of the two people recommended by the Yufeng Sect was also confiscated. Although the Yufeng Sect did not say anything about it, they were still reluctant to recommend the third place.
Who was it for, but Lingzhu knew it must have been given to Qiao Bai, who was still in seclusion.
Regarding the difference between Gu Zheng and Qiao Bai, Lingzhu told Xiong San and the others some time ago, which made Xiong San and the others very curious whether Gu Zheng would accept Qiao Bai as his disciple. After all, even Xiong San
He only knew that before him, Gu Zheng had accepted two apprentices, but behind him, he also didn't know whether Gu Zheng would accept another apprentice.
Qiao Bai's admiration for Gu Zheng was unabashed, especially after seeing Gu Zheng this time, his eyes were filled with tears.
After some greetings and gossip, Wu Fengzi stepped into the topic and said: "Senior, we think that the last recommended quota from Yufeng Sect can be used on Qiao Bai, and we also ask senior to take him for a test to see if he is suitable for the job.
A member of Jixiang Xiaozhu.”
"There is no need to pass the Immortal Formation test." Gu Zheng said.
"Senior, why is this?"
Wu Fengzi's heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Gu Zheng said that Qiao Bai did not need to pass the fairy formation test, which made Wu Fengzi feel that either his beloved disciple was extraordinary in Gu Zheng, or that Gu Zheng would not give him a chance to test, so he wanted to reject Qiao Bai.
"Because what Qiao Bai wants to do is another kind of test."
Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Bai: "I will give you a month to learn how to cook three dishes. You are not allowed to go to any restaurant, and no one else is allowed to help you. If you break the rules and I find out, there will be no need to worry about the consequences.
Let me tell you more! It is said to be three dishes, but it can also be pastries or staple food. Let me see how you cook the three dishes in a month. If you pass the test, I will accept you as a registered disciple!"
Gu Zheng's words shocked the entire audience. In the eyes of outsiders, he had always been just a disciple like Xiong San. Even the Lingzhu that was in Jixiang Xiaozhu from the beginning was just his maid. Although he later accepted Jin
Yan, but Jin Yan is only a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu, not his disciple. However, Gu Zheng gave Qiao Bai a test today to become his registered disciple. What is this if not a thunder?
Gu Zheng is very good to the members of Jixiang Xiaozhu. This is something that all three sects know. Moreover, the elders of the three sects also know that although Jin Yan is not a disciple of Gu Zheng, as long as she can learn well, she should make friends with him.
Gu Zheng can also teach the cooking skills. However, Qiao Bai is really different. Although Gu Zheng gave him the test of a named disciple, this is different from the ordinary members of Jixiang Xiaozhu in terms of their names.
Let’s not talk about the specific benefits first. If the other two sects knew about the test of this status, I don’t know how envious they would be.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Thank you senior quickly!"
Looking at the stunned Qiao Bai, Wu Fengzi wanted to kick him, fearing that if he was too late to thank him, Gu Zheng would take back his decision.
"Thank you, senior. I will definitely learn three dishes in one month!" Qiao Bai said excitedly.
"Okay, one month is not much time. Remember the rules I mentioned. The test will take effect from this moment on. Take the time to do it!" Gu Zheng said.
Qiao Bai and Wu Fengzi said goodbye to Gu Zheng, and then left Jixiang Xiaozhu as if they were racing against time.
"Disciple..."
Wu Fengzi spoke to him. He wanted to say some ideas to Qiao Bai, but he was afraid that he would inadvertently break the rules of the ancient struggle, so in the end he only said a cry.
"Master, there is no need to say more to avoid breaking the rules," Qiao Bai said.
"Disciple, do you have any plans?" Wu Fengzi asked.
"Something planned."
Qiao Bai's voice paused, and then he said: "Master, go back to the sect and wait for the good news from the apprentice. The apprentice wants to find three dishes that can help me complete the test!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news about my apprentice!"
Looking at the confidence on Qiao Bai's face, Wu Fengzi felt a lot relieved. His disciple rarely let him down, except when he was not very optimistic about the way of eating.
Wu Fengzi's figure has disappeared, and the confidence on Qiao Bai's face has also disappeared, replaced by seriousness and sadness.
Although he felt that the way of eating was his destiny, Qiao Bai knew very little about the way of eating. He had never even cooked once! In one month, three dishes could complete the test.
It is not a simple test. You must know that the person who evaluates these three dishes a month later is the ancestor of food.
"What's wrong?"
After Qiao Bai left, Gu Zheng looked at Lingzhu and Jinyan who were in a daze.
"fine!"
Lingzhu and Jinyan spoke at the same time.
"I know that you are somewhat dissatisfied, but I have already told you some things when I accepted you. I accept disciples based on fate. You and I do not have the fate of master and apprentice, so I did not accept you.
As a disciple. But as long as you are talented enough, I will teach you what you can learn, and I will help what you can help." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, I was wrong!"
"sorry sir."
Lingzhu and Jinyan apologized to Gu Zheng.
"As long as you can think about it, there's no need to apologize. It's human nature for you to take it personally."
Gu Zheng stood up as he spoke, seemingly preparing to go upstairs.
"Master, is Qiao Bai very different?"
After Xiong San hesitated, he still asked with Lingzhu's eyes, because they were really curious about Qiao Bai. Originally they thought that Gu Zheng would talk about it after Qiao Bai left, but they didn't know that Gu Zheng didn't ask
means to say.
"It is indeed different. You will discover the difference in the future."
Gu Zheng paused, then turned around and said: "To be precise, you will find out when he brings back three dishes! You don't need to ask more about Qiao Bai. I will tell you some things that can be said.
, there are some things that I can’t say, so just swallow your curiosity. Qiao Bai will also be a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu in the future. You just get along well. Don’t feel jealous because I didn’t tell you the things you are curious about.
Or being excluded, this is a situation I don’t want to see.”
"Ancestor, how can you do that!"
"Don't worry, sir. Even though we are curious, when we hear what you say, we will naturally swallow all our curiosity."
"There will be no exclusion. Since Qiao Bai will be a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu, we will be a family from now on, and I will have another brother!"
"No, Qiao Baibai is a good person, and he has helped Jixiang Xiaozhu before. We are all very happy that he has become a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu."
Master Yunqing, Lingzhu, Jin Yan and Xiong San expressed their opinions one after another, and Gu Zheng went upstairs. In fact, he just said that, the people who can be admitted to Jixiang Xiaozhu by him are not bad in character, they are not
Will exclude Qiao Bai from joining, unless Qiao Bai does something to hurt their feelings.
After Gu Zheng went upstairs, he stared at the window in a daze.
Although Qiao Bai was given a test as a registered disciple, Gu Zheng knew that Qiao Bai would definitely be able to complete this test. As for accepting Qiao Bai as a registered disciple, Gu Zheng didn't know what the final result would be, whether it was right or wrong, but for now
For example, he needs Qiao Bai as a disciple.
In Gu Zheng's impression, Tiexian had Han Yue, Lan Yue, Xiong San, and Xuan Yue as his direct disciples. In addition, there was also a named disciple, and this named disciple was Qiao Bai.
As for Qiao Bai, Gu Zheng had never met him, but he only heard some things about him from his second senior brother Lan Yue.
According to the narration of the second senior brother Lan Yue, Tiexian is the originator of the way of food, Qiao Bai is the first head of the Immortal Chef sect, the first leader of the top ten Immortal Chef sects, and the chief royal chef of Heaven.
The brewer of the wine 'Yaochi Xianjiang', the first person to bring the power of pure faith to Tie Xian!
Many auras surround Qiao Bai, but Lan Yue is not familiar with Qiao Bai and doesn't know much about him. He only heard about these things about Qiao Bai from his senior brother Han Yue. And, according to Lan Yue
According to speculation, Qiao Bai should have 'broken' with Tie Xian, because he had never heard Tie Xian mention this only named disciple.
Gu Zheng didn't take this matter too seriously before, so he never asked Tiexian about Qiao Bai. But he agreed with Lan Yue's guess that Qiao Bai and Tiexian were in a 'broken' relationship! Otherwise, Tiexian
When Xian introduced the situation of the other disciples to him, he should have mentioned Qiao Bai.
The head of the first Immortal Chef sect, the first leader of the top ten Immortal Chef sects, the chief chef of Heaven, the brewer of the immortal wine "Yaochi Immortal Brew", and the first person to bring the power of pure faith to Tiexian!
There are many auras on Qiao Bai's head, plus he is so obsessed with the way of eating and drinking, and he really wants to worship Gu Zheng as his teacher. This makes Gu Zheng, who has never seen Qiao Bai, confirm that he is the only one for Tiexian.
Named disciple.
Gu Zheng attaches great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice, the relationship between senior fellow apprentices. To him, this is family affection. However, Qiao Bai seems to be in a 'broken' relationship with Tiexian, and Gu Zheng is now almost in a relationship.
Taking the path of Tie Xian made Gu Zheng hesitate before accepting Qiao Bai as his registered disciple!
Looking at Qiao Bai's halo, he has played an important role in promoting the way of eating, and he has also brought pure power of faith to Tiexian. These are all things needed in ancient times. However, family ties are valued very much.
He would rather not have these things than have any problems with the relationship he values in the future.
However, Gu Zheng is walking the path of Tiexian, but it is not exactly the path of Tiexian. This is prehistoric, but it is not really prehistoric. The same things may have different endings. This makes Gu Zheng think about it after several considerations.
, finally decided to accept Qiao Bai as a registered disciple. As for the so-called test, it was just a reason. He also wanted to pass this test and see how extraordinary Qiao Bai was.
Regarding these things about Qiao Bai, Gu Zheng couldn't tell Xiong San and the others. He couldn't talk about it, and it wouldn't have any good effect if he talked about it, so he had no choice but not to talk about it.
At this moment, Qiao Bai has left Qingfeng City. He does not plan to look for the three dishes required for this test within Qingfeng City. He plans to go to Lincheng Qiuse City in Qingfeng City.
Qiuse City means the bleak autumn wind, and it can be regarded as a borderland of Buzhou. It has a vast area and sparsely populated areas, but it is not a good place. Generally speaking, the living standard of the residents is not as good as that of Qingfeng City.
It stands to reason that when looking for delicious food, you should look for it in rich places, because people will spend more time on food when they live a prosperous life. However, Qiao Bai feels that his blessed place should be within the scope of Qiuse City.
Qiao Bai, who was flying in the air, had some regrets. He was a disciple born in the sect. When he was a child, he had no worries about food and clothing. When he was older, he started practicing cultivation. Although his food requirements were higher since he was a child, he never had to cook.
He also has no desire to cook at all. Like ordinary people, he also thinks that being a cook is an inferior profession.
His inherent point of view changed after seeing the cooking skills of Huang Ying and others, and then he was shocked by Jixiang Xiaozhu. Only then did he realize that the way that belonged to him was the way of eating. It turned out that the way of eating was...
The Tao can be so lofty.
When Qiao Bai decided to make diet his life's work, he wanted to learn from ancient times. Although he encountered many setbacks on this road, he did not give up.
While waiting for Gu Zheng to accept him as his apprentice, he thought more than once whether he should learn some cooking skills from others first, but he was arrogant and felt that if he wanted to learn, he should learn from Gu Zheng. Most people's cooking skills were not good at all.
into his eyes.
Now, Gu Zheng asked him to learn three dishes in one month. It can be said that he had no foundation in the way of eating. Even if he was confident, he still felt the difficulty.
