Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Chanyu Enlightenment
The skills of a spiritual chef are not something that can be learned simply.
It involves not only various knife skills, heat, ingredient combinations, etc., but also the cooks' own lack of proficiency in the techniques taught to them by Qi Yuan.
And when you actually cook, it consumes not only mana, but also your mind.
After all, if you want to control the aura between the various ingredients in the pot, you must concentrate on it. For these cooks who have just come into contact with magic, it consumes a lot of attention.
However, in accordance with Qi Yuan's request, many relatively common ingredients were sent to the warehouse. It was perfect to use these low-value ingredients to train the chefs.
Each stove in the large kitchen is equipped with a Samadhi True Fire formation. There is no need for these cooks to specialize in practicing flame-based techniques. They can directly control the restrictions on the stove to cook.
However, this method of controlling flames is not sophisticated enough after all. It is not as sophisticated as controlling the spiritual fire yourself. If you want to make particularly high-end ingredients in the future, there will definitely be some shortcomings.
This is also the reason why Qi Yuan insists on finding some heaven and earth spiritual fire for his disciples.
Because of this method in Kitchen God Division, we can only cultivate talents among these cooks, but not geniuses.
Only when you control the spiritual fire and your soul is strong enough, can you use the most exquisite heat to make truly top-notch food.
However, the backgrounds of these cooks in the Kitchen God Division are restricted after all. Even with the wealth of Heaven, it is impossible to be extravagant enough to provide them with the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. Being able to train them into spiritual chefs is already considered a great blessing for them.
In the following months, under the guidance of Qi Yuan and Gao Yan, some of these cooks who were quite talented in cooking were able to make some relatively simple spiritual meals.
From then on, some delicious aromas often wafted out from the sky above Kitchen God Division, attracting the attention of passing immortals and gods. Some people even followed the smell and came to the door with the idea of exchanging some spiritual meals.
However, currently, among the cooks in the Kitchen God Division, there are only a dozen or so who can cook some simple spiritual meals, and Qi Yuan does not want to delay their progress by entertaining other gods.
So at first he could politely refuse, but when he saw more and more gods coming, Qi Yuan couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he simply used the five-smoke pot to suck away all the odor of the fireworks. In this way,
But you don't have to worry about being disturbed by some gods coming to visit you all the time.
However, the five-smoke pot is his portable magic weapon after all, and cannot be kept in the kitchen every day, so he made two more pots and placed them at the door of the kitchen, one to absorb smoke and the other to absorb aroma.
This way, you don't have to worry about the fragrance spilling out even when he's not around.
When Qi Yuan taught these people cooking skills, he told them not to be greedy and start learning the dishes they are best at first, so that relatively speaking, they can get started faster.
As time goes by, more and more chefs have indeed mastered some spiritual meal methods.
Although the cooking skills are still not perfect, it is good to be able to get started. In the future, as you learn more and practice more, your cooking skills will naturally improve.
Seeing that Kitchen God Division was gradually getting on the right track, Qi Yuan wanted to leave for a while.
After all, he has been in heaven for a long time, and there are still several of his disciples in the lower world, so he can't ignore them.
As for the people who worship him, it's easy to say, he just needs to devote some spiritual consciousness to pay attention to them every day.
However, paying attention to people's affairs every day will also involve a lot of his energy, making him unable to concentrate on other things.
After all, teaching these cooks every day already consumes most of his energy. Plus paying attention to the people, he can't spare much time for cultivation.
So Qi Yuan decided that after the peach feast was over, he would immediately ask the Jade Emperor to consecrate some of the outstanding cooks in his Kitchen God Department as gods to help him share the pressure.
At that time, he only needs to listen to the gods sent by the Kitchen God Division to various places in the world to report their work to him at the end of each year, and then report to the Jade Emperor after integration.
You can get a lot of incense so easily, why not?
It's better than having to worry about everything alone now.
Qi Yuan did not hesitate and directly asked Uncle Gao Yan to teach these cooks for him temporarily. He would return to the lower world first, otherwise when these cooks began to learn more advanced spiritual cooking skills, he would not be able to leave this world.
Moreover, the Kitchen God Department is a newly established department after all. Except for Qi Yuan himself who also holds a priestly position, the others currently do not have a divine position and do not have to deal with many things every day like other departments, so he is now
Relatively leisurely.
As for the cooks, they are still a little helpless at this stage. They only need to practice their cooking skills every day and prepare for the Peach Festival. With Gao Yan here to take care of them, there is nothing to worry about.
Qi Yuan went to see Long Ji and at the same time sent someone to Qinglong Xingjun's residence to inform Deng Chanyu and ask her if she would return to Emei now.
If she doesn't want to go down to the next world, she can just stay in heaven.
However, Deng Chanyu was only worried about her father and brother before. Now that she sees that they are both well and have been conferred the title of righteous god in heaven, she has nothing to worry about.
Even now, she has not yet realized her own way of swordsmanship. If she spends too much time with her father, it will be detrimental to her practice and may easily cause her Taoist heart to become unstable.
Therefore, after Deng Chanyu heard that Master was going to the next world, she said goodbye to her father and brother directly, and planned to follow Master back to Mount Emei for spiritual cultivation.
Qi Yuan did not say goodbye to the Jin Ling Holy Mother and other elders, but directly took Deng Chanyu out of the Nantianmen and went to the lower world.
For gods like them, not seeing each other for a few years is nothing. Anyway, he returns to heaven every year to report on his duties, so there is no need to say goodbye so frequently.
…………
Mount Emei, Luofu Cave.
"Disciple pays homage to master."
Qi Yi and others looked at Qi Yuan and Deng Chanyu with surprise.
They originally thought that even if Master and the others stayed in Heaven for a while, it wouldn't be long, but they didn't expect to stay for several months, which made them miss him a little.
"Master, the next time you go to heaven, can you take Ling'er with you?"
He Ling'er pulled Qi Yuan's sleeve and acted coquettishly. After not seeing each other for such a long time, the little girl was very reluctant to leave Qi Yuan's side.
"good."
Qi Yuan chuckled, stretched out his hand and rubbed He Ling'er's head, and said: "This time it was an accident. I didn't expect to stay in Heaven for so long. I will definitely take Ling'er to Heaven with me next time."
After he comforted the little girl and sat down on the stone platform, he looked at Qi Yi's increasingly obvious Taoist charm and couldn't help but nod his head, feeling quite pleased in his heart.
Obviously Qi Yi has practiced harder during this period and has a deeper understanding of his own swordsmanship. According to his current training speed, he will be able to overcome the calamity and become an immortal within a few years.
By then, he will have disciples who have become immortals, which will make him look good.
After all, in the entire Jie Sect, there are few fourth-generation disciples who have become immortals, and the Emei Sword Sect he founded now is actually not favored by many people.
Because he himself is just an immortal, in the eyes of many powerful people, his so-called establishment of a sect is just a small fight among the younger generations, and it is not a big deal.
But if Qi Yi survives the catastrophe and becomes the Sword Immortal, the meaning will be different.
Even for those powerful people, there is no guarantee that they will be able to train their disciples to become immortals. Qi Yuan can do this, which shows that he is indeed qualified to establish a sect, although there are still only three or five people today.
Just a small sect.
Moreover, when Qi Yi becomes an immortal, he will be able to help Qi Yuan teach his future disciples better and save him a lot of time.
Qi Yuan carefully examined the aura on Qi Yi's body and said: "When you have reached your current level of cultivation, in addition to relying on daily accumulation and insights, you also need to go out to practice and polish your Taoist heart, so that your foundation can be stronger."
With that said, he reached out and took out a token with flame patterns, sent it to Qi Yi in the air, and said: "This token was given to me by Uncle Luo Xuan.
Uncle Luo Xuan is now the Lord of the Fire Department in Heaven. He is busy with affairs on weekdays, and he basically has no time to go back to his cave on Fire Dragon Island.
Fire Dragon Island is a strange place. The fire spirit is extremely pure. There is a spiritual fire in the fire veins deep in Uncle Luo's cave. Your cultivation is progressing slowly now. You only rely on hard training in the mountains. The effect is
Not big.
You should prepare yourself in the past few days, go out and experience some adventures, and by the way go to Fire Dragon Island to collect the spiritual fire."
Later, Qi Yuan taught Qi Yi the method of collecting spiritual fire that Luo had promoted to him, so that he would not be burned by the fire spirit instead of failing to collect the spiritual fire.
"Thank you, Master."
Qi Yi stretched out his hands to take the token in his hand, feeling the warm breath coming from the token, and felt quite excited.
His cultivation progress has slowed down during this period, so he naturally knew that he was about to reach a bottleneck.
Generally, if Qi practitioners reach this stage, they may stay there for a long time. There are even many people who may need a long period of accumulation because their cultivation methods are not perfect enough, or their understanding of the Tao is not deep enough.
There will be some confidence in surviving the catastrophe.
However, Qi Yi does not have this problem.
He is the first disciple to follow Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan has never hidden any secrets from him, and he will not forget him even if there is any benefit. Therefore, although Qi Yi spends a lot of time practicing, it is far less than other Qi refining realms.
Shi Shi is old, but his foundation is extremely deep, his magic power far exceeds that of Tongji, and his understanding of the way of the sword is even more sufficient.
In fact, even if he triggers the heavenly tribulation now, he is sure to achieve immortality, but he wants to accumulate for a while, just like Qi Yuan and Yang Chan at the beginning. After accumulating enough, he will naturally trigger the heavenly tribulation. Basically, there is no such thing as too much.
Big danger.
Moreover, the first thing he and Qi Yuan learned was not cultivation, but cooking.
When he was first taken in by Qi Yuan, he was not illiterate, so he first learned to cook from Qi Yuan. At that time, his biggest hobby was also cooking, because after learning to cook, it meant that he could not
I will go hungry again.
Whenever he saw the wild vegetables picked from the roadside or the prey turned into delicious food in his hands, he was extremely satisfied.
Although his Taoism is getting higher and higher now, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat after refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he has often been hungry since he was a child. Even though he no longer has such a big need for food, he still often gives himself
Make some delicious food because he really doesn't like the feeling of being hungry.
It's just that after he switched to swordsmanship, his true energy was too strong, which was not conducive to the improvement of his cooking skills. Now the master has given him this opportunity. After he goes to Fire Dragon Island to refine the spiritual fire, his skills as a spiritual chef will
No more restrictions.
After arranging Qi Yi's affairs, Qi Yuan looked at Deng Chanyu, Li Yingqi and He Ling'er and said: "You have been staying in the mountains to practice hard recently. Although the mountains are a little deserted, you are not disturbed by external objects.
It will help you understand Taoism.
Master Luo Xuan will also go out for a while. Master Luo Xuan told me some places where spiritual fires may be born. I plan to take advantage of this time to visit, otherwise when I return to heaven,
I'm afraid there won't be much time left in the next few years.
After all, the cooking skills of the cooks in the Kitchen God Division are far from enough. In order to ensure that the Peach Festival can be held normally, I have to stay in the Kitchen God Division to teach those cooks."
"Master, when the Peach Festival is held, please let me go with you."
Qi Yi said: "After my disciple goes to Fire Dragon Island and subdues the spiritual fire, his cooking skills will definitely improve. When the peach festival begins, my disciple will definitely be able to help the master."
Qi Yuan nodded slightly and said: "You still have to go. I estimate that you will become an immortal in the next few years, and you will naturally be useful by then."
Then he looked at the other disciples and said: "At that time, you will all go to the heaven with my master. Although you can't help much with your cooking skills, the peach feast is only held once every few hundred years, and it is usually very important.
It would be good if seniors can participate in it and take you to experience it as a teacher.
Moreover, it is said that the Queen Mother's flat peach tree was transformed from an innate spiritual root. Although it has now been transformed into an acquired spiritual root, the flat peach tree produced is also quite miraculous.
When the time comes, I will find a way to get you a few, especially the kind of fairy peaches that can entertain powerful people. If you eat them, there will definitely be a lot of benefits."
After hearing this, all the disciples suddenly became excited.
After all, even among the people, there are rumors about the miraculous effects of the Queen Mother's flat peach, so of course they will be interested in this fairy fruit.
A few days later, Qi Yi bid farewell to Qi Yuan and went out for a trip.
By the time he returned to the mountain, it was almost the time when he had overcome the tribulation and became an immortal.
Qi Yuan Qiyi is relatively reassured. His disciple has a calm temperament and has no other shortcomings except for his lack of experience.
Qi Yi's swordsmanship has reached the ultimate level that he can currently achieve, not much worse than Qi Yuan's back then, and he also has a Ningbi Cliff spiritual treasure to protect him, even if he encounters a powerful demon fairy
, and it can protect his life, so Qi Yuan has nothing to worry about.
During this time, he was explaining kendo to several disciples in the cave every day, which gave some insights to Deng Chanyu and Li Yingqi, two disciples who had not yet understood their own kendo.
Especially Deng Chanyu. After she went to heaven this time and met her father and brother, she had already let go of her knot. At this time, she listened to Qi Yuan's sermon and understood the sword intention in the yin and yang phantom extinction killing sword array.
She has a faint tendency to become enlightened.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan quickly ordered Li Yingqi and He Ling'er not to disturb her, so as not to miss the opportunity for her to understand the art of swordsmanship.
It's just that dozens of days have passed, but Deng Chanyu has never understood his own swordsmanship. Instead, he is depressed by the feeling that he is clearly right in front of him, unable to see or grasp.
It wasn't until one morning when Qi Yuan took him to the top of the cliff to watch the spiritual mist in Mount Emei that was changing with the breeze, that he suddenly had an epiphany and understood the way of the phantom sword.
Since then, Qi Yuan has had another disciple who has mastered the art of swordsmanship.
