"The Xuanwu Board and I are connected by the same blood, so the empress placed this treasure under the Xuanwu Mountain to heal my injuries."
Black Turtle turned around, looked at the black round chopping board, and said with some nostalgia:
"Thousands of years have passed, and I have recovered from my injuries, and the Xuanwu Slab has also disappeared for a thousand years... It must be a pity for Emperor Nong."
Xuangui believed from the bottom of his heart that instead of letting the Xuanwu Slab sleep with him for thousands of years, it would be more useful if he left it in the human world.
Li Wanqing retorted: "What the senior said is wrong."
"Oh? Please tell me where I went wrong." Xuangui said with great interest.
"The most fundamental purpose of Shi Zu's creation of seven kinds of kitchen utensils is to eliminate disasters and save people. Since the Xuanwu board saved the life of our senior, I believe that Nong Emperor will not have any regrets."
Li Wanqing came from a wealthy background and acted eclectically, saying: "On the other hand, if the legendary kitchen utensils are enshrined and used as decorations, it will be of no benefit to the people or living beings. It is no different than scrap metal."
Xuangui smiled hoarsely: "If you don't want me to leave the Xuanwu board in the mountain, you don't have to say something like 'broken copper and broken iron'."
The earth shook and the mountains shook, the mountain cracked, and several black rays of light flew out from the rock wall!
Hearing this, Luo He calmly accepted the only assessment quota and walked slowly towards the stone wall.
At this moment, Luo He couldn't help but picture the scene of himself entering the kitchen when he was five years old.
"Huh?" Xiaojiu raised his head and saw Luo He who was thoughtful.
Luo He glanced at Li Wanqing again and said, "Aren't you going to give it a try? Captain Li, you are also a chef, right?"
Click!
This gravity is like the oppressive feeling radiated by Xuanwu himself. Trainers with two levels of pet beast space are simply unable to resist it.
A red light flashed and Xiaojiu appeared on Luo He's shoulder.
Luo He shouldered Xiao Jiu's shoulders and thought to himself, he is worthy of being from the Investigation Bureau and has such professional deception skills.
Luo He stepped onto the first step and suddenly felt a strong gravity coming down on him, making his back bend.
When he was ten years old, Luo He successfully became a martial artist by practicing day and night and with his amazing talent.
Xiao Jiu stepped on the ninth step and flew toward the basalt plate embedded in the stone wall!
Don’t worry, Master, I will help you get it!
Luo He was stunned.
At this time, Luo He suddenly woke up, looked back, and found that he was already on the sixth step. At the bottom were the mysterious turtle with complicated eyes and Li Wanqing, who was looking up.
Facing the last ninth step, Luo He looked up at the basalt slab embedded in the stone wall. He felt the pressure double and took a deep breath.
Putting his foot on Luo He's shoulder, Xiaojiu jumped up and rushed up to the ninth step!
“嘤!ヽ(`Д)”
Besides... Li Wanqing thought to herself... This item is very powerful, but it doesn't directly improve the trainer's strength. It's useless for me to use the Xuanwu Board.
"Don't worry, he is currently undergoing the Xuanwu Board assessment and cannot hear the movement from the outside world."
The second step is also passed in memory.
Xuanwu Board, did this pair of trainers and pet beasts really get their hands on it?!
Mr. Zao, what kind of incredible pair of partners did I attract!!
This is the Nong Emperor’s kitchen utensils.
The black turtle moved its huge body to make way for a path to the stone wall, and said:
"The kitchen is so smart that it can independently evaluate and select its owner."
He is only one step away from getting the Xuanwu Board?
Suddenly, Luo He's eyes lit up, most of the fear in his heart disappeared, and thoughts came to his mind instinctively.
Xuangui was afraid that Luo He would regret it, so he said: "Go, be careful, I am very optimistic about you!"
"Because starting from the seventh level, each level will be twice as difficult as the previous one." Xuan Turtle shook his head and said: "It would be okay if he had a higher beast level. It is too early to accept the Xuanwu Board assessment now.
.”
When Luo He tried to climb the ninth step, he saw the scene of Shi Zu cooking colorful soup.
Luo He successfully climbed the eighth step!
"Senior?" Li Wanqing noticed something strange and turned to look.
Boom!!
"Xiaojiu!!" Luo He shouted subconsciously.
After you go back, you can use this second space to contract with Yuyu.
Facing the eighth step, Luo He suddenly felt a sense of frustration that was out of reach.
I want to take you back and give you to the master to cook!!
So close to the end of the world, we are faced with a dilemma.
As he said that, Xuangui looked up at Luo He and murmured:
"I really didn't expect that his cooking skills were so accomplished that he could reach six levels in one fell swoop."
It has been more than ten years since then, and the hardships cannot be appreciated by outsiders.
It was a snowy day when the master started. The village was covered with snow, and red cloths and lanterns were set up. The master was so happy that he held a running water banquet for three days, with Luo He taking charge.
The third step, the fourth step... As Xuanwu Board's understanding of Luo He deepened, the gravity gradually lightened, and Luo He also climbed up the steps.
Suddenly, Luo He realized something and his eyes widened.
The reason why Luo He was able to climb the seventh step was because after time travel, he did not forget to collect honey when life and death were at stake. This love for food was recognized by the Xuanwu Board.
I saw the black turtle's eyes widening, thick white smoke blowing out of his nose, and an incredible expression.
Luo He was also an orphan in his previous life and grew up relying on food from hundreds of families.
There is also this pet beast accompanying the Nong Emperor. It looks familiar, but it doesn’t look like a nine-section wolf...
Luo He opened his mouth and said:
Xiaojiu hugged the Xuanwu board tightly with both hands, and his body flew upside down in the air several times, and finally fell into the arms of Luo He who stretched out his arms to welcome him.
Xuangui opened his mouth blankly, then gradually focused on it and said, "Let's continue watching."
Xuangui Weng said: "The Xuanwu Board will create illusions and gain insight into the examiner's mind to determine whether he is a qualified chef."
Luo He smiled slightly and said: "It is the cooperation and trust between the trainer and the pet beast."
Luo He's craftsmanship amazed a gourmet who was exploring local flavors. He was shocked when he learned that the chef was only ten years old, so he recommended Luo He to study with famous teachers in the imperial capital.
Xiaojiu's eyes were bright and he understood Luo He's thoughts without any communication.
I don’t know if this big snake is more fragrant when grilled, or if it is cut into pieces and roasted with green onions.
Xuanwu's illusion froze, and the turtle and snake looked at each other in silence.
"Senior, if I can get the Xuanwu board, the dishes I make will definitely be more delicious. Then I will use the Xuanwu board to cook a table of more delicious dishes for you. How about you?"
Luo He nodded, realizing it later.
For example, I never deceive others. The main point of communication is to highlight sincerity.
"Your pet's space is only two levels. Even if you get the Black Tortoise Board, you won't be able to use its full strength, but you can give it a try... In short, you must be careful." Xuan Turtle encouraged.
The eighth step?
Li Wanqing's thoughts were exposed, she smiled to lighten the atmosphere and said: "We should value people over heaven, value people over gods, that's how it should be."
But in less than half an hour, another person is about to be recognized as the master!
Xuangui was shaken in his heart.
On the other side.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo He climbed up the seventh step.
Luo He, who was in his early twenties, hosted a high-profile banquet as a state banquet chef, shocking the food industry at home and abroad...
"good!"
Li Wanqing glanced at Xuangui silently, as if questioning something.
Luo He followed his masters to various villages. At the age of seven, he wore a red apron and sleeves and helped the masters.
As she said this, the mixed-race beauty gave Luo He a look and signaled to Luo He to try for this opportunity to take the Xuanwu board home.
"What the Farmer Emperor means is that the trainer alone is not enough, so we need to use the power of the pet beast to accomplish things that cannot be accomplished alone."
"Why did he stop?" Li Wanqing was a little worried.
"Now I know what the way to get through the ninth step is."
It's a waste of words.
A golden pet beast that looks like a nine-sectioned wolf spits out blazing fire and roasts the cauldron.
Xiaojiu hugged the basalt board in the rock wall, ignited blazing fire in his palms, and shouted:
“嘤!!”
"Senior, didn't you say that it was difficult for him to climb the three steps?" Li Wanqing asked in a low voice based on telepathy.
Hey, my pet’s space has reached level two?
Examining the space, Luo He realized that he had opened up a second pet space. It seemed that he had just cooked lava peppers and was able to break through under strong pressure.
boom!
Only a huge sound was heard, and the Xuanwu Plate was taken out of the mountain by Xiaojiu!
Xuangui's jaw was stunned, his face was shocked, and he said in disbelief:
"Turtle!!"
Step through the first step slowly.
The illusion is shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Luo He, Li Wanqing, and Xuangui looked up at Xiaojiu who was rushing towards the Xuanwu board.
Could it be that this is the lost, evolved form of the Nine-section Wolf!
Luo He took a deep breath, stepped on the air, and fell downwards.
In front of Luo He's eyes, a figure from behind appeared.
After all, Xuangui just promised to let Luo He take a look at the Xuanwu Slab. If he really wanted to take the Xuanwu Slab out of the mountain, he would have to get Xuangui's consent.
Li Wanqing: "..."
Next to the back of Shizu, there was an illusion of a turtle and a snake fighting. The big snake on the turtle's back opened its mouth toward Luo He.
"Well... Nong Emperor also said something similar." Xuan Gui recalled with his eyes wide open.
What does this illusion mean? Luo He was confused.
In order to avoid the cold eyes, he hid in the kitchen and was accepted as an apprentice by a master chef in the village.
Luo He takes the Xuanwu board, can't Qing Fengluan and I just feed him?
The sight of Shi Zu's back made Luo He frightened and stopped moving forward.
It was a figure holding a cane from behind, and in Luo He's eyes, it seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
Could it be that it is a pet beast that evolved from the Nine-section Wolf?
But isn’t the Nine-section Wolf unable to evolve?
Li Wanqing said calmly: "You won the opportunity to witness the legendary kitchen utensils. I'm just helping."
Li Wanqing struck while the iron was hot and said: "So, senior, why not take this opportunity to bring kitchen utensils to the world and leave them to the hands of knowledgeable people? What do you think?"
The basalt board hangs high and is embedded in the center of the stone wall, glowing with black iron color. There are nine steps under the stone wall, and the gap between the steps is very large.
I don’t think that’s what I meant?
Luo He fell down the eight steps and was caught by Xuangui's breath of fresh air.
Luo He stretched out his fist towards Xiao Jiu and said cheerfully: "That's great, Xiao Jiu."
"We have been approved by the Xuanwu Board."
Xiaojiu opened his mouth, his eyes slowly bloomed with light, he stretched out his fist towards Luo He and touched it lightly:
