In fact, people who practice Taoism pay more attention to chance and creation than cause and effect, and are better at seeking opportunities for themselves from the relationship between cause and effect.
Just like Qi Yuan, if he stays in Chaoge all the time, he seems to be safe, but given his lifespan, he will probably kick his legs and die in a few years, and report to the King of Hell.
On the contrary, he later ran around and seemed to have experienced many dangerous things, but in the end it also brought him huge rewards.
The so-called calamity refers to disasters and opportunities. It can be said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
If you can't survive it, there's nothing to say, but if you survive it, there will naturally be benefits.
Just like Guang Chengzi and others, although they were in many dangers during the Great God Conferring Catastrophe, with the protection of Yuanshi Tianzun, no one died in this calamity caused by them.
Even if the Taoist practice is damaged, the foundation will become stronger if you return to practice later. This is also true if it is not broken or established.
So after the great tribulation, most of them advanced to the realm of Da Luo Jinxian.
Even Cihang and others who rebelled against Chan Sect have made great progress in cultivation, and they are all very high-status beings in Buddhism.
Now that Qi Yuan has joined Jiejiao, this catastrophe of becoming a god is a hurdle that he cannot get around. Fortunately, he relied on the memories in his mind to make some plans. As long as nothing happens, he will not die, and even
You can also plan for your future status in heaven.
For now, he still has two things to do.
The first thing is to find the wick of the coffin lamp, which must be retrieved. As long as the coffin lamp is filled up for Uncle Qiongxiao, so that she can use it to understand the great road, she can become a Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of Ran Deng, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future.
As for the second thing, it will fall on Princess Longji.
He felt that someone was doing something secretly, testing the Jade Emperor's bottom line. If he could destroy the marriage between Princess Long Ji and Hong Jin, he might have unexpected gains in the future.
When the rewards are greater than the efforts, the matter will begin.
He had been thinking about this matter for a long time and had already calculated it in his mind. If it went well, it would be done without him having to do anything personally.
Qi Yuan didn't take Hong Jin seriously at all.
He didn't care who Hong Jin was in his previous life, he only needed to know that he was a disciple of Jie Jiao in this life.
Since Hong Jin dared to betray his sect and join Xiqi, helping Chan teach his disciples to deal with people in his sect, he should die.
As for whether he might offend a certain powerful person hidden behind the scenes, Qi Yuan said he didn't care much.
Just saying that that person only dares to hide in the dark and use these disgusting little tricks, it can be seen that he definitely does not have the strength to crush everyone.
It’s not like he doesn’t have a backing. Even if he reaches Heaven in the future, he will still have the support of a large number of Jiejiao disciples who occupy the divine positions in Heaven. At most, the opponent can only stumble in secret, which is harmless.
…………
The breeze blows by, the bamboo leaves rustle softly, and you can smell a fresh breath between your breaths.
A ray of light fell from the sky, revealing a chubby figure, it was Gao Yan.
After he landed, he smiled and said, "Look, nephew, look what I have brought for you."
He was holding a small earthen jar in his hand and approached Qi Yuan like a treasure.
However, when I came closer, I was a little stunned.
He looked at Qi Yuan who was slowly stirring a vat of paste with a piece of green bamboo.
And this tank doesn't look big, but after being refined by Qi Yuan, the space inside is not small. Just look at the green bamboo in his hand, and you can tell that no ordinary tank can accommodate such a thick bamboo.
There are probably tens of thousands of kilograms of stuff inside.
"What's this?"
Gao Yan asked a little strangely.
"This is the disciple's secret soybean paste."
Qi Yuan's hands kept moving, because Gao Yan came here often recently and they were already very familiar with each other, so they no longer performed those false rituals.
He smiled and said: "Uncle, haven't you always wanted to know how I make all my seasonings? This is one of them. If you are willing, uncle, you can make it together."
Gao Yan's interest immediately increased. Ever since he learned how to make sizzling cuttlefish from Qi Yuan, he often came here to ask Qi Yuan how to cook various delicacies.
Later, I discovered that many delicacies are inseparable from the unique seasonings here in Qiyuan. As a real foodie, how could he not be interested in these things.
"Oh? How to make this thing?"
Qi Yuan chuckled and said: "These are soybeans grown specially by my nephew in the land of spiritual veins. They have to go through many procedures before they can be completed.
First soak it in Lingquan water, then steam it until it becomes a paste, add some flour, mix it evenly, then spread it on a bamboo mat and put it in a cool and dry place. It needs to be turned once a day.
In about three to five days, dark yellow fungi will grow. Then put them in the sun to dry, then put them in a tank, add an appropriate amount of refined salt, and then add ginger, fennel, orange peel, and ginseng.
, Yunzhi and several other elixirs.
Grind it into powder, add it and mix it. Finally, put the sauce base into the vat, seal the mouth of the vat with spiritual soil so that it cannot breathe, and dry it in the sun for 180 days to make this secret soybean paste."
After hearing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but gasped: "Just one of the seasonings requires so much effort. If you add other seasonings, wouldn't it be more troublesome than refining an elixir?"
"That's not the case."
Qi Yuan chuckled lightly and said: "The reason why it is so troublesome is that these seasonings are all homemade. In fact, most of the seasonings only need simple processing.
Moreover, after the secret soy sauce is made, as long as some other things are added, it can be turned into meat sauce, seafood sauce, hot sauce, etc.
If Uncle Master finds it troublesome, just come to me and get the finished product. In fact, the taste of ordinary dishes is not much different as long as you know how to mix them properly, but the heat needs to be carefully controlled."
Gao Yan shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "How can that be done? Since you want to learn how to be a spiritual chef, you must completely understand the functions of these things. Otherwise, even if you take out the best ingredients, you will still be able to make them.
It won’t be a good dish.”
He has been an immortal for tens of thousands of years, and the most important thing he lacks is time. Even if it is for the sake of his own belly, he is willing to spend more time.
Qi Yuan looked at the big vat and gently shook the green bamboo in his hand. The soybean paste stuck to the bamboo immediately left one after another, making the bamboo become green again, and he took it out cleanly.
After putting away the green bamboo, he looked at the earthen jar in Gao Yan's hand and asked curiously: "What is that Uncle Master is holding?"
Gao Yan smiled proudly: "This thing is very rare."
After saying that, he sent the small and exquisite earthen jar to Qi Yuan like a treasure, and said: "Didn't you want the spiritual fish some time ago? Uncle Master, I walked around Jin'ao Island and saw the colorful lotus outside Senior Sister Qin Ling's cave.
The fish in the pond are the most energetic.
Because these fish have been influenced by the spiritual energy of the colorful lotus pond all year round, even their scales have turned into colorful colors. This time, I finally took advantage of Senior Sister Jin Ling's absence to quietly take a few fish over.
Take a look, how are these spiritual fish? Are they suitable for you?"
Qi Yuan went over and took a look, and sure enough, these fish with colorful halos all over their bodies were full of aura, and they were definitely top-notch ingredients.
Although in terms of level, it is definitely not as effective as the immortal deer and giant squid he obtained before, as the flesh and blood nourished by the immortal power is as effective, but it is just right for him to use now.
only……
"Uncle Jin Ling won't come for you, right?"
The Holy Mother of Jinling is one of the female immortals of the Jie Cult. She is quite majestic on weekdays, and many disciples of the Jie Jiao Cult do not dare to offend her easily.
"Probably not?"
Gao Yan stretched out his fat fingers and scratched his head, and said with some hesitation: "Senior Sister Jin Ling only has a cold face all day long because she wants to control the female fairy. In fact, she used to have a very good personality.
Besides, she only raised these colorful spiritual fish for viewing purposes, so she shouldn’t come here just for a few spiritual fish.”
"That's good."
Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If Master Jin Ling comes to find me, please don't betray me as a disciple!"
"..."
Gao Yan tried his best to open his small eyes and glared at him. If you hadn't said that you needed a few spiritual fish with sufficient spiritual energy, would I have risked being scolded by Senior Sister Jin Ling to steal these spiritual fish for you?
As a result, before he was found, this guy started to put the blame on him.
"Don't worry, as Senior Sister Jin Ling, I won't go to war over such a trivial matter..."
