The disciple who came here is called Li Ping. He has been promoted to the Golden Immortal for 30,000 years and is still in the middle stage. According to his cultivation speed and qualifications, it is impossible to advance to the Daluo Golden Immortal without special circumstances.
Li Ping didn't seem to care much about practicing and focused on studying cooking. His cooking skills were really good, not even worse than Jin Xinsheng's, and he was Jin Xinsheng's most proud disciple.
For Donglai Pavilion, outstanding disciples are not about how diligent they are in training or how talented they are, but how accomplished they are in cooking. This is true for the Twelve Immortal Chef sects. They all focus on developing Immortal Chef cooking skills. Cooking skills are
their true pursuit.
Jin Xinsheng led everyone to the side room in the backyard. It was said that the side room was actually not small. According to the calculation of the earth, it was at least a thousand square meters of room. In the center was a pot table, with various shelves on both sides, filled with various kinds of things.
Grown food and medicinal materials.
This is the place where Li Ping studied food cultivation. After everyone arrived, Li Ping did not speak, but held his breath and concentrated. He took out another elixir and put it in his mouth, and then he meditated.
After burning the incense, Li Ping stood up and spit out a burst of immortal power from his palm, and the stove under the pot immediately lit up.
"Earthfire!"
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. Under this pot is earth fire. Earth fire is not as precious as the real fire of heaven and earth, but it is also a good fire source. For the immortal chef, all kinds of things that are beneficial to cooking must be used, the more powerful it is.
The more Xianchu you use, the more you use it.
However, Tie Xian disagrees with this. There are many ways to achieve the same goal. In the end, cooking must return to simplicity. Like Tie Xian himself, no matter what tools he uses, he can make more delicious and better food.
After the ground fire was ignited, bursts of white smoke soon came out of the pot.
Li Ping poured a jar of water into the pot. The water was spring water from Heaven. The Twelve Immortal Chefs sect had a good relationship with Heaven. The royal chefs of the Heavenly Court bosses came from the Twelve Immortal Chefs. He wanted some Tianquan water.
Not difficult.
After putting the water in, Li Ping immediately put the prepared ingredients into the pot one by one.
Jin Xinsheng, Bai Quan and others stood aside, watching with frowning eyebrows. No one said anything. Li Ping put in a total of thirty-three kinds of ingredients, while Gu Zheng's brows twitched.
Generally speaking, food repair requires a lot of ingredients to match. Thirty-three said it was not too much, but it was not too much. The quantity was not a problem, but Li Pingfang's portion was slightly wrong.
As for the main ingredient, he just put in a whole plant of Yaxincao. If he were doing this kind of food repair and ancient competition, he would never put in so much.
Although it is the main ingredient, the quantity matching of various ingredients is very important. This is a very simple truth. It is impossible for Li Ping and Jin Xinsheng not to know that. Gu Zheng does not understand why they did not match the quantity.
After all the ingredients were put away, Li Ping placed his hands flat and closed his eyes.
His immortal power began to surge. This was the most important part of doing food cultivation. How to integrate the effects of the medicine to maximize the effect and achieve the desired effect at the same time depends on his next steps.
"It's not impossible to change the quantity of the main ingredients, increase the efficacy of the main ingredients, and use the Yang Hua Gong to remove the excess medicinal power!"
Jin Xinsheng nodded as he spoke.
Huayang Gong is not Donglai Pavilion's unique secret book. In fact, many people know it. It is an ordinary immortal skill. Nine out of ten immortal chefs know Yang Huayong. Huayang Gong can be used to prepare some ingredients.
Strong, for example, if a certain food is too acidic, you can use Huayang Gong to remove part of the acidity and then neutralize it.
"Hua Yang Kung?"
Gu Zheng was a little surprised. Jin Xinsheng glanced at him and then explained Yang Huayang Kung, but he was shaking his head in his heart.
He didn't expect that Gu Zheng didn't even know the Huayang Kung Fu. How much could a person who didn't know the Yang Hua Kung know about the Immortal Kitchen? He actually boasted that he had a certain understanding of food cultivation. Jin Xinsheng was already worried about Gu Zheng in his heart.
I looked down upon him a lot and thought he was just talking nonsense.
Gu Zheng really doesn’t know about Huayang Gong because he has never learned it or used it. He has Tie Xian’s cooking skills and doesn’t need Huayang Gong at all. Moreover, even if the ingredients have stronger properties, Gu Zheng can still neutralize them.
, bring these characteristics into full play instead of purely using Huayang Gong to remove them.
It's like a weird-shaped potato. Jin Xinsheng and the others eliminated all the bad edges and corners, while Gu Zheng used all the edges and corners in other places without wasting any of them.
Gu Zheng has such an ability, so naturally he doesn't need to use Huayang Technique. Qi Ling has never taught him, and he has had very few encounters with immortal chefs before. He has encountered them on earth, but they are competitors, and others will not tell him.
This is so bad that he doesn't even know this magical skill that most immortal chefs know.
However, after knowing the characteristics of Huayang Gong, Gu Zheng understood why Li Ping did what he did.
Using Huayang Gong to remove part of the medicinal effect can indeed achieve a balancing effect, but it is obvious that Li Ping has entered a misunderstanding. The most important thing for food cultivation is not balance, but nature.
Food cultivation is different from alchemy. What is produced by alchemy is elixir, and the medicinal effects are concentrated in the elixir. However, what food cultivation produces is gourmet food. First of all, the food is the first, and then the effect of the elixir is added to the food.
Nowadays, Li Ping's food cultivation is too focused on the efficacy of medicine and neglects the basics. Gu Zheng is not very optimistic about the food cultivation he is currently doing.
Li Ping didn't know what Gu Zheng was thinking. He was trying hard to keep the food in the pot. Soon, the fragrance of the food spread out. Jin Xinsheng and the others all showed smiles. Su Ming and Ouyang Hai also kept sniffing.
Wiggle your nose.
They had only smelled such a pleasant fragrance in the delicacies made by Gu Zheng. They did not expect that Li Ping could actually create such a rich fragrance.
But Gu Zheng secretly shook his head.
First he pursued the efficacy of the medicine, and now he began to forcibly create fragrance and combine ingredients. Although the fragrance was successfully created, it also left serious hidden dangers. Gu Zheng became less and less optimistic about his pot of food. It was a pity that this
A pot of fine ingredients.
Yaxincao is a high-grade ingredient. Most of the other raw materials are of good grade. A few are high-grade and almost none are medium-grade. When he was on Earth, he couldn't even think of such a good material. There was no such thing.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and Jin Xinsheng and others showed joy on their faces.
"It seems that Ping'er can succeed this time!"
Bai Quan happily said that Li Ping was raised by Jin Xinsheng since he was a child. Just like Jin Xinsheng's son, he was also a disciple that Bai Quan and the others watched grow up. Now that they see the hope of success in Yaxin Food Cultivation, everyone is very excited.
happy.
The success of Yaxin Food Repair is different from other delicacies. This is a food repair that can be taken by many people at the same time. It is more effective than elixirs. Once successful, I believe many sects will invite them to make such food.
build.
According to their charging standards, the reward for making a food repair is one share of the same materials. Just making a food repair can earn a lot of resources, not to mention that after such a food repair appears, their Donglai Pavilion's reputation will be
With a huge promotion, he might even be the leader of the twelve sects.
Although the Twelve Immortal Chef sects help each other, they also have internal competition, and they are all trying to improve their reputation.
Just like Shushan, which is very united externally, it is divided into three thousand side peaks internally. Each side peak is working hard for its own development. The Twelve Immortal Kitchen Sect is not a whole, and this kind of competition is even greater.
Jin Xinsheng and the others were all happy, while Gu Zheng sighed heavily.
"Failed!"
There is no need to wait for the end, Gu Zheng already knows the result. The stronger the fragrance, the greater the possibility of failure. With the current fragrance, it can basically be concluded that it is a failure.
When it comes to food cultivation alone, Gu Zheng's level is higher than any of them. Food cultivation was originally created by Master Tie Xian. Gu Zheng learned the most orthodox food cultivation, unlike others who all tried their own way.
"Master, how does this compare with our increasing food cultivation?"
Ouyang Hai sent a message to ask. He was a person who had practiced food cultivation many times in Gu Zheng. He knew some of the abilities of food cultivation. After hearing what they said, his feeling was that it was somewhat similar to the food cultivation cultivation that Gu Zheng had done.
"The effect is not as good as our food-increasing repair, but it is not bad either, provided it is successful!"
Gu Zheng thought for a moment and then replied. Ouyang Hai turned around in surprise and asked again: "What the leader means is that he will fail this time!"
"pretty close!"
The Yaxin food they make is indeed very similar to the Yanyuan food cooked in Guzheng. Strictly speaking, they are in the same category, just like fish-flavored shredded pork, fish-flavored eggplant, etc., they are all fish-flavored.
Just the materials used are different.
Ouyang Hai turned around again and stared blankly at the cooking Yaxin food.
The color of the soup in the pot has changed and turned black, which makes Jin Xinsheng and the others even more happy. According to their previous inferences, the final product of Yaxin Food Repair is black, which does not look good, but the effect is very good. Now
When the soup turns black, it means that the pot of food is almost finished.
"it's over!"
Soon, Gu Zheng said something quietly, and Jin Xinsheng and the others immediately turned around and looked at him with some confusion. However, the next moment they had no intention of caring about Gu Zheng, and they saw a loud noise suddenly coming from the pot in front of He Ping.
, the soup inside splashed everywhere, and all the soup in the pot splashed out, leaving no trace left.
Fortunately, there were no ordinary people around, so the juice that splashed out was blocked by everyone's magical power and did not fall on the body, but all fell to the ground.
Looking at the patches of black water still smoking on the ground, Li Ping looked dull and couldn't believe it.
He thought for a long time, deduced for a long time, and finally came up with this suitable method. Unexpectedly, it failed in the end. This failure was not at the beginning, but when he was about to succeed in the end. This result was even more difficult for him to accept.
Of course, he had no idea that he was wrong from the beginning and could not succeed.
"No, I must have failed to control the heat. I have to try again!"
Li Ping's eyes turned red, he cleaned the cauldron, poured water from the sky spring again, lit the earth fire again, put in the same ingredients, and started again.
It was still the same method as before, but Li Ping was more careful and no longer dared to share the profits. The control of Xianli was very precise. Although it consumed a lot of mental energy, the control was better.
Gu Zheng shook his head again. Li Ping was wrong from the beginning. It was not something he could control at all. If he tried forcefully now, the final result would still be failure.
Jin Xinsheng and the others did not speak for fear of disturbing Li Ping. They had just analyzed Li Ping's process of making food repairs and agreed with Li Ping. If this still failed, they had no idea how to make this Yaxin food repairs.
This Yaxin Food Cultivation was proposed by Jin Xinsheng ten thousand years ago, and he has been studying it for thousands of years. Although the lives of immortals are long, it is not easy for them to study one thing for such a long time. Now they can see it.
They wanted to be successful, but in the end they closed down and poured cold water on them. How could they not feel uncomfortable?
The same process, naturally the same result.
The pot full of soup splashed out again, Li Ping's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
Jin Xinsheng and the others also looked very ugly. Li Ping was hit, so why were they? Although it was Li Ping who was trying, all the research was done jointly by them, and this was also the result of Jin Xinsheng's research.
"Is it possible that my theory is wrong and that such food cultivation cannot be done at all?"
Jin Xinsheng said bitterly that he had calculated his own settings. This was also the first time he said this, and the first time he questioned the food cultivation theory he created.
"No, Master, you are right. We have jointly imagined that the Yaxin Food Cultivation you proposed is valid and can be done, but we haven't found the right method yet!"
Li Ping was the first to stand up and object. He has been practicing for 30,000 years, and he has spent nearly 10,000 years studying Yaxin Food Cultivation. One-third of his training time, he will never agree that what he is studying is a wrong thing.
, is something that is impossible to achieve.
Jin Xinsheng was silent. Li Ping cleaned the pot again and poured in Tianquan water. Judging from his appearance, he was planning to try again.
"etc!"
Gu Zheng suddenly shouted. Li Ping couldn't find the reason. If he tried again, the result would still be failure. It was just a failure, but the raw materials would be destroyed. It was such a pity.
Yaxincao and the three auxiliary materials are all of high grade, especially Yaxincao, which is extremely valuable. Li Ping kept a lot of it. Such raw materials were destroyed one by one before the ancient war, which made him very upset.
Heartache.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Jin Xinsheng felt sad, but he still showed respect for Gu Zheng. He did not want to give up his research and wanted Yaxin Food Cultivator to succeed, but the repeated failures really hit him hard.
Li Ping is his most proud disciple. In fact, in terms of food cultivation, Li Ping has surpassed Jin Xinsheng and is the best person in Donglai Pavilion. He has always failed. This time, he is 70% sure that he will still fail.
, which shocked Jin Xinsheng so much that he said that what he proposed was a wrong theory.
"First of all, there is nothing wrong with your Yaxin food cultivation, but there is something wrong with your method. Can you let me try it?"
Gu Zheng spoke slowly. Although he had not heard Jin Xinsheng talk about their theory and research on Yaxin Food Cultivation, he had already seen all the problems of this food cultivator from Li Ping's methods just now, and also knew about this food cultivator.
The meaning of repair and how to make corrections.
"you?"
Jin Xinsheng was very surprised, and Li Ping also turned his head and frowned.
"Yes, let me give it a try. I have some experience in food cultivation. Your Yaxin food cultivation is very similar to a food cultivation I did before. I think I can give it a try!"
Ya Xin Shi Xiu Gu Zheng has never made it. It’s like he has always made fish-flavored shredded pork and has never made fish-flavored eggplant. But since he knows how to cook fish-flavored shredded pork and has the correct recipe for fish-flavored eggplant, he can
It is not difficult to make fish-flavored eggplant.
"Brother Jin, my uncle's cooking skills are definitely not inferior to yours. Since he said this, he must be sure of it. If Brother Jin, you are worried about wasting raw materials, you can rest assured that we in Shushan will give you double compensation for how much you use.
you!"
Seeing Jin Xinsheng's hesitation, Su Ming said that he knew Gu Zheng's cooking skills. Although he had never tasted Gu Zheng's cooking skills, in his opinion, food cultivation and cooking skills were similar, and people with good cooking skills were the same.
Can make good food.
However, this is not Shushan after all, and what is used is other people's things. Yaxincao is also a very precious raw material. He was worried that Donglai Pavilion was afraid of waste due to ancient disputes, so he specifically offered to double the compensation.
"No, Brother Su, I don't mean that. It would be better if you are willing to try, sir. Maybe you can give us some advice!"
Jin Xinsheng immediately smiled and shook his head. In fact, he did think so in his heart, thinking that Gu Zheng would be a waste of raw materials, but Su Ming reminded him in time that Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person. He was Su Ming's uncle and the highest ranking person in Shushan.
people.
If such a person wants to play, it doesn't matter if he tries it. It's just a raw material. They can't afford to waste it. It's better than turning against Shushan. A first-class sect like Shushan is not someone they want to offend casually.
It's naturally better if you can make good friends.
"master!"
Instead, Li Ping called out urgently, and Jin Xinsheng immediately sent a message to him to stop what he was going to say next, and let Gu Zheng try. Maybe he couldn't come up with anything at all, and then he would be the only one embarrassed.
.
As for the double amount of raw materials that Shushan wants to give, of course they will not take it. In this way, Shushan will owe them a small favor. A piece of raw material is exchanged for a small favor from Shushan. It is very worth it.
Li Ping had no choice but to walk back and looked at Gu Zheng again, with contempt and reluctance in his eyes.
He had only prepared three ingredients this time. If Gu Zheng wanted to try it, he would have no chance. He could only wait for the new Yaxincao to arrive, and Yaxincao and the others had been purchasing and bought the new Yaxincao.
The new grass will not be delivered until half a month later. If he wants to try it next time, it will be half a month later.
After waiting for half a month, he was a little anxious, but now Li Ping wanted to be more adventurous. He failed twice, and he was not sure about the third time. It would be better to let Gu Zheng try, and he would be able to do well in the next time.
Summarize the experience of this failure, find out the problem, and wait for the next try to succeed.
Gu Zheng walked to the pot and released the fire control technique. The ground fire was immediately ignited and spread evenly on the bottom of the pot.
This hand fire control technique is indeed good, and it is better than Li Ping's. It makes Jin Xinsheng and others look at him with admiration. However, when it comes to food cultivation, it is not about fire control. What is more important is the production of food cultivation. In ancient times, there was a continuous Yang Hua Gong.
For those who don’t know, Jin Xinsheng simply doesn’t believe that he can make any food cultivation.
After all, food cultivation is not ordinary food. It aims to infinitely expand the medicinal effects of raw materials. This cannot be achieved. It is not food cultivation at all, but ordinary food. That would be a waste. It is better to refine it into elixir.
