Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Spirit Chef Together
Bixiao told him that although the dishes he made now contained some spiritual energy, they were only in the ingredients themselves, and he had not made reasonable use of these spiritual energy.
Qi Yuan even failed to grasp the characteristics of these spiritual objects, and instead destroyed the functions of the spiritual objects themselves.
"Why are you so ignorant?"
Bixiao was leaning on the trunk of a thick laurel tree. When he saw Qi Yuan still looking a little confused, he couldn't help but stretched out his white fingers and tapped Qi Yuan's head, as if he hated iron.
appearance.
"Your cooking skills are like a common doctor prescribing medicine to people. The doctor's prescription can cure ordinary people's diseases, but if you ask him to use this prescription to make an elixir with fairy grass, it will definitely not work.
For example, Zeng Shoudan involves longevity, something ethereal and intangible. Even if a hundred elixirs are placed in front of the doctor, he will only boil them into a useless soup.
Because a panacea is not just a matter of combining various elixirs.
The elixir absorbs spiritual energy all year round and has various effects, but all things carry yin and embrace yang, just like this red fruit."
Saying that, Bixiao reached out and took out a bright red fruit with a strange fragrance, and bit it in one bite.
Under Qi Yuan's greedy eyes, he said vaguely: "Although this Zhu Guo contains extremely rich fire spirit power, if taken alone, people who are not strong enough will not be able to withstand its violent spiritual power.
, will cause huge waste.
It is best to use other elixirs with mild medicinal properties to neutralize the power of the fire spirit, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the red fruit.
And this involves many ingenious alchemy techniques.
Merely having the magic formula is not enough. A lot of practice is needed to master the secret and refine the high-grade elixir.
Therefore, don’t use your previous skills on these spiritual ingredients. Before cooking, you should first understand the functions of each ingredient, and then discuss how to mix them.
I think you should learn more about alchemy techniques, there should be something in common between the two."
This lecture made Qi Yuan extremely frustrated.
It turns out that my cooking skills are only suitable for being a cook in the mortal world, but when I bring them to the world of immortality, I am just wasting materials.
Being hit in the head by Bi Xiao, Qi Yuan completely woke up and realized his shortcomings.
Things that are common among ordinary people are not suitable for use directly in the world of immortality.
After all, there is a huge gap between the two.
The difference between immortals and mortals is not just talk.
Since then, Qi Yuan finally completely changed his identity.
Now that you have entered the door of spiritual practice, you should consider things from the perspective of a practitioner.
Nowadays, the ingredients that I come into contact with contain spiritual power. Many of them are even elixirs themselves and can be used to make elixirs. It is indeed a pity that I treat them as ordinary ingredients for cooking.
Qi Yuan felt that his understanding of these ingredients was too shallow, just like a newly born child that has not yet learned to walk and wants to run around, so he can only keep stumbling.
My current situation is similar to this.
After all, I haven't been practicing for a long time, and I haven't understood many common-sense things before I start messing around. It really shouldn't be done.
It seems that I should spend more time on studying.
Before you understand the various ingredients, it’s better not to waste them easily.
From then on, Qi Yuan truly calmed down and studied Taoism with Zhao Gongming.
In particular, he is particularly devoted to alchemy. By learning the art of alchemy, he has mastered the specific characteristics of many elixirs and herbs.
Now he is only one step away from the path to immortality. The reason why he is still obsessed with cooking is because he once obtained the merits of humanity through his cooking skills.
In this case, he was thinking that if he could develop his cooking skills into the realm of immortality and develop meals that could rival elixirs, and on the basis of the immortal way, and then open a spiritual kitchen, he might not be unable to obtain the merits of the immortal way.
The reason why the human race has the merits of humanity is because the way of heaven recognizes humanity, and then it bestows the merits of humanity on those who have made contributions to the development of the human race.
Similarly, after Taoist Hongjun and Tianhe Tao, he will naturally recognize the existence of immortal Tao.
In addition to Empress Nuwa, the saints including the founder, Tongtian Cult Master, all gained immeasurable merit and virtue by establishing religions and educating sentient beings, and then they got the opportunity to realize the Hunyuan Dao.
The merits they gained when they established the religion were not heavenly merits, but immortal merits.
Generally, if a Qi practitioner practices step by step, he will never be able to obtain the merits of immortality in this life. Only by carving out a new path can he possibly succeed.
Together with Ling Chu, this is the goal Qi Yuan has set for himself.
After all, he still has some advantages in this regard.
Even immortals still have appetites.
Even the Queen Mother holds a peach banquet every three hundred years to entertain all the immortals.
Since there is demand, there is a market.
You can definitely make use of your own strengths, develop a spiritual chef, and prepare dishes that are both delicious and beneficial to spiritual practice. You can definitely occupy a place in the spiritual practice world.
It just so happens that I don’t have a clue on how to enlighten myself at the moment, so I’ll study some cooking skills that are useful for Qi practitioners.
Perhaps by analogy, I suddenly became enlightened.
In fact, most qi refiners will spend their energy on refining qi and enlightenment, and the rest of their time will be spent studying mainstream skills such as the alchemy, talisman, and weapon array.
Even the heretic people are mostly studying various strange techniques, and few people are as distracted as him.
However, Zhao Gongming agrees with his mentality, because only by finding what interests you can you persist in it.
…………
Months passed in a flash.
Qi Yuan feels that he has learned a lot during this period and can start a new round of attempts.
So, he went to the lake in the mountain forest where he used to catch spiritual beasts and caught a spiritual turtle.
This kind of turtle has mysterious tortoise patterns on its back. There are three grids in the middle of the tortoise pattern. The tortoise shell is divided into twenty-four pieces. It looks quite magical.
Moreover, this kind of spirit turtle is quite spiritual. If Qi Yuan hadn't been there many times during this period and had accumulated rich experience on how to trap this kind of spirit turtle, it would not have been so easy to succeed.
The reason why he caught this kind of spirit turtle was because its spiritual power was particularly pure, and because it was not particularly strong, it did not have a strong demonic aura. It was just a good time to use it to test his latest cooking method.
What he planned to make was a dish with similar effects to Pei Yuan Dan.
Pei Yuan Dan can strengthen the body and strengthen the body, enhance mana, and make up for the lack of one's own Qi and blood.
Qi Yuan is currently planning to make dishes with similar effects to these low-level elixirs.
