Chapter 243 Mandarin Duck Pot (I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival)
While Taoist Duobao was busy gathering Jie Jiao disciples who were scattered all over the country, Qi Yuan was also busy dealing with the difficulties imposed by Master Gao Yan.
Because he previously lured Gao Yan to stay in the name of rare ingredients and fresh food, but now he has no rare ingredients at all!
Even the two demon immortal bodies he brought back from the outer sea were used by him in Peach Blossom Mountain. Although the other water tribes were pretty good to him, they may not be valued by Gao Yan.
Besides, seeing that so many Jie Jiao disciples were about to be robbed, Qi Yuan was a little embarrassed to eat and drink here.
However, the other disciples did not think that they would lose. Instead, they were all very happy, feeling that they could finally vent their anger.
Gao Yan even felt sulky for a while because he couldn't participate in the battle in person, so he came to Qi Yuan, intending to give him a big meal to relieve his depressed mood.
As a result, after he arrived, he discovered that this nephew had changed his mind.
He didn't see a few of the rare ingredients promised to him before, but there were quite a few common vegetables.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan also knows Gao Yan's temperament, he just likes to eat.
So in order to deal with this uncle, Qi Yuan had no choice but to cheer up and make preparations. He even made a mandarin duck pot specifically for this purpose.
That's right, when Qi Yuan refined this pot, he planned to make a hot pot meal to silence Uncle Gao Yan, so that he wouldn't have to hang around in front of him like an angry little daughter-in-law.
, and from time to time he would complain, saying that he had lied to him.
Qi Yuan was also convinced. This uncle could still nag like this just for a bite to eat, so he could only raise his hands and surrender.
Since we are making hot pot, we can’t do it without base ingredients.
Qi Yuan has eaten a lot of hot pot before, but he has never made hot pot base himself.
To this end, he practiced his skills several times, cooked several batches in succession, and consumed a lot of materials before he gradually found the most suitable ingredients.
For this reason, he even asked Qi Yi to secretly catch a fat green cow on the island and bring it back. The butter was used to boil the base, and the cow bones were used to make the stock. As for the remaining beef, it was just used to cook the meat.
At the beginning, Gao Yan showed disdain for eating hot pot.
In his opinion, it's just cooking and eating. What's so new about this?
However, after he actually tasted the delicious food, he immediately changed his mind. Not only did he praise it, but he also ate it in large pieces and enjoyed it very much.
Especially a certain four-cornered blue sheep that "accidentally broke into" the bamboo forest. This kind of blue sheep has been climbing on the cliffs for many years, feeding on various spiritual grasses. Its jumping ability is terrifying. Not only is its meat tender, but it is also
Excellent taste.
As for why this four-cornered blue sheep, which lives on the cliff, broke into the bamboo forest protected by the formation, Qi Yuan said that this matter cannot be explained to outsiders.
After Qi Yuan used the ice technique to freeze the mutton, he cut the mutton into thin slices with a dazzling flash of light.
Rinse the meat for a while in the hot soup pot. After the meat is cooked, dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth. It feels so tender and tender. The taste is simply amazing.
In addition, these two soup bases also gave Gao Yan two different flavors.
A light yet mellow aroma with a long aftertaste.
Another kind of spicy food with an alluring taste made him want it more.
Moreover, the several sauces prepared by Qi Yuan himself also have their own characteristics, which Gao Yan praised repeatedly.
In addition to several kinds of meat, there are also various spiritual ingredients, such as bamboo shoots, polygonatum, yam, black fungus, etc., which taste very good. If you eat them with meat, you will have a unique flavor.
"Not bad, really good."
Gao Yan took a bite of the boiled mutton, drank a glass of refreshing spirit wine, and praised in his mouth: "My nephew really did not lie to me. This way of eating may seem ordinary, but in fact it can better reflect the deliciousness of these ingredients. I really like it."
It’s an eye-opener for me, especially this spicy hot pot, which is very popular with me!”
"Uncle Master, you are overly praised."
Qi Yuan chuckled and shook his head: "Actually, the materials are still somewhat insufficiently prepared.
Take this spicy pot as an example. Because spicy things are relatively rare, I can only choose two types: Polygonum and Cornus officinalis, supplemented by the numbing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, and various auxiliary ingredients added together. Although the taste is good, in fact this
The spicy taste is still a bit lacking.
I heard that there is a plant in the world called Chaotian pepper, which is extremely pungent, but unfortunately I have never seen it.
If we could get this kind of ingredients to make spicy hotpot, the taste would definitely be much better than it is now."
"oh?"
When Gao Yan heard this, his little eyes immediately started to move, and he was thinking about where things like Chaotian pepper grew, and he wanted to find out with some fellow Taoists later.
As a senior foodie, he was naturally a little excited when he heard that there were such rare ingredients that could make better-tasting delicacies.
Qi Yuan secretly smiled in his heart. If Gao Yan could find Chaotian Pepper, he would save himself the trouble of searching for it.
While they were eating hot pot, Taoist Duobao had already led the Jie Jiao disciples on the island to set off.
With their escape skills, they quickly arrived outside Tongguan after crossing hundreds of thousands of miles of sea.
The reason why Taoist Duobao chose this place as the battlefield was mainly because he wanted to reserve some time to set up the grand formation, and at the same time, he also needed to wait for the arrival of the Jiejiao disciples who were all over the world.
After all, Honghuang is too big, and some disciples' caves are relatively remote, so it is slow to deliver news, and it will also take some time to get there.
Anyway, Jiang Ziya's Eastern Expedition army must pass through here if they want to attack Chaoge. Duobao is not worried about not being able to wait for the disciples of Chanjiao here.
Under Duobao's call, the Jiejiao Qi practitioners scattered all over the ancient world came to the outside of Tongguan City and gathered together.
Suddenly, there was a lot of excitement outside Tongguan. There were also some arrogant beings who were used to being arrogant on weekdays. They released their auras unscrupulously. The monsters within hundreds of miles around Tongguan were frightened and fled in all directions. They did not dare to stay here for fear of disaster.
Coming soon.
Inadvertently, it created a brief period for the local people without being harassed by monsters.
The number of these Jiejiao disciples is getting more and more, and their confidence is getting stronger and stronger.
With so many fellow disciples here, do they still need to worry about the disciples of Chanjiao?
Taoist Duobao is also very high-spirited and leads his fellow disciples to practice formations every day.
Although they are already confident of victory, there are too many unexpected factors in the catastrophe. They must also be prepared for the disciples of the Chan Cult to invite some powerful people from elsewhere to help them. It is inevitable that there will be a tough battle to be fought.
After all, Taoist Ran Deng is one of the three thousand powerful men who once listened to the teachings in Zixiao Palace. Even though he has now taken refuge in the Chan Cult, he is ridiculed by other powerful men of his generation for being timid, and he does not even care about his face in order to survive.
But after all, there is still some degree of friendship between them. If Taoist Ran Deng really invites a few fellow Taoists who have survived all the catastrophes, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
After all, he existed at the same time as Taoist Ran Deng. Not only did he have vast supernatural powers and profound spiritual practices, but he also had some powerful spiritual treasures.
If they are not careful, they may be caught off guard when something happens.
Similarly, the Antarctic Immortal is also an old guy who has lived for who knows how many years.
This old man looks low-key on weekdays, but actually being silent is the most insidious thing. Maybe he will use some means when the time comes.
Although these Jiejiao disciples are full of confidence and feel that they have a 100% chance of winning, Taoist Duobao's prestige is too high, and even the most arrogant and domineering disciples do not dare to disobey him, so they practice the formation very hard.
It was smooth.
All the immortals from the Jie Sect gathered together. Originally, only a few of the disciples who were born as great demons did not bother to restrain their auras, but now after practicing the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, their aura was suddenly hundreds of times stronger than before.
The huge aura soared straight into the sky, wantonly publicized, and boundless murderous intent. The wind above the nine heavens was messed up by their aura. Even if a few clouds accidentally floated nearby, they would be torn into pieces by this aura.
, so that not even a flying bird dares to approach here.
Such a huge momentum naturally alarmed the Eastern Expedition army that had just captured Qinglong Pass.
After Jiang Ziya heard the report from his disciples, he immediately mounted Sixiang, jumped into the air, and led Yang Jian Nezha and other three generations of disciples of Chanjiao to observe from a distance.
When he discovered that such an extremely powerful aura was emanating from countless Jiejiao disciples, he was stunned and stunned.
"What...what's going on?"
It took him a long time to react and asked in surprise: "Could it be that all the disciples of Jie Jiao are here? What are they going to do?"
Although Jiang Ziya followed the decrees of the three religions and became a god on behalf of heaven, his status was humble and he was just an ordinary disciple who had not even achieved immortality.
Even if Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't calculated that he was one of the key figures in the future catastrophe, he wouldn't have been accepted into his sect.
After all, he himself was quite old when he became a disciple, and after decades of hard training under the guidance of the saint, he was still not as good as these three generations of disciples.
Therefore, although he is a key figure in this great catastrophe, he does not know Yuanshi Tianzun's plan at all.
In fact, not only him, but also Guangchengzi and other Twelve Golden Immortals also didn't know Yuanshi Tianzun's thoughts.
After all, they can't figure out the thoughts of the saints. They just need to know that the master will help them survive the disaster at the critical moment.
Therefore, Jiang Ziya was shocked and frightened at this time, and felt extremely regretful.
If I had known this, I would not have spared no room and wantonly humiliated those who intercepted my teachings when I was doing things in the past.
Now, looking at the scene outside Tongguan, there are countless immortal figures densely packed together. Even if all the disciples of Jiejiao are not provoked, it is not much different.
According to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Chan Sect, even if there were ten times more, one hundred and twenty Golden Immortals, they would probably be unable to do anything under the terrifying formation of the Jie Jiao.
The disciples of Jiejiao were originally the best at playing with various formations, and the original Ten Heavenly Lords were only in the realm of immortals when it came to Taoism.
As a result, the Ten Jue Formations were laid down, and even the Twelve Golden Immortals felt their scalps go numb. In the end, under the calculation of Taoist Ran Deng, he sacrificed his life to sacrifice the formation, and then managed to break the Ten Jue Formations.
Just this, Qingxu Daodezhenjun almost lost all his cultivation, and tens of thousands of years of hard work were ruined in one day.
Even though Yuanshi Tianzun, in order to prevent his disciples from dying in the catastrophe due to insufficient mana, he specially gave him a spiritual elixir to temporarily restore his mana.
However, this method has big flaws after all. After the disaster is over, he still needs to practice again to regain his magic power.
Even the Ten Jue Formations set up by Lord Shi Tian are so difficult to deal with, so how powerful must this great formation set up by tens of thousands of Jiejiao disciples be?
Not only was Jiang Ziya panicked, but the expressions of other Chanjiao disciples on the side also changed drastically.
Although they are still young and vigorous, each one of them has been deliberately guided by their master, and has a somewhat flamboyant character. In the past, they were ruthless and merciless when attacking their enemies, but now, they are all equally frightened.
Which one of their hands has not been stained with the blood of Jie Jiao disciples?
In the past, I always felt that I was on the side of justice and acted in accordance with the way of heaven, while those disciples of Jie Jiao who were against them were acting against heaven.
In addition, their master had never taught them to get along well with Jie Jiao disciples, so when they fought with Jie Jiao disciples, they never resorted to any tricks, and they often tried to kill him while he was sick.
.
But now looking at the scene in the distance, these young people couldn't help but feel chills on their backs and broke into cold sweats.
Although they had heard that the Jie Cult was powerful and had many disciples before, they had never seen it with their own eyes.
Moreover, when we were on the battlefield in the past, the side that was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Jiejiao disciples would often line up one by one to come to Xiqi to die.
Even if they encounter someone who cannot be dealt with, the elders behind them will come forward and kill these weak Jie Jiao disciples on the spot.
But now, facing these countless Jie Jiao Immortals, they finally understood how the reputation of Jie Jiao Ten Thousand Immortals came to the court came from.
Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other with shock on their faces.
The rest of the people also looked at each other in shock.
How should we fight against so many advanced enemies?
Even if the opponent doesn't bully the weak and challenges them one by one, even if Guangchengzi and others are exhausted, they still can't kill so many immortals!
