When Jiang Beiran discovered his own shortcomings, all the ninth-grade masters naturally discovered it too.
However, this not only did not affect the views of the ninth-grade masters on him, they even felt that he became more human like this.
Humans are supposed to be bad at some things, so what’s going on with all the proficiency? Are you a monster?
So when Jiang Beiran exposed his shortcomings, several ninth-grade masters became closer to him.
There is a feeling of suddenly discovering that "you are a human being too".
At noon, Jiang Beiran, who had been busy all morning, felt a little tired.
As a "link", his workload is undoubtedly the largest. If he hadn't been very interested in these things, he would have been unable to persevere.
But people are not machines after all, and Jiang Beiran also felt a little tired after days of intense work.
So he said to Master Lu who was discussing jade sewing techniques with him at the table: "Let's stop talking now. I want to go out and get some fresh air."
Hearing that Jiang Beiran wanted to go out for some fresh air, Lu Haijun was obviously a little surprised, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll talk when you come back."
"Yes." Jiang Beiran nodded, stood up and walked towards the door.
Several grandmasters who were queuing up saw Jiang Beiran suddenly leaving their seats and looked over with confusion, but did not stop him. When Jiang Beiran left the hall and closed the door, Zhang Xunting, who was standing at the back, looked at Lu.
Haejun asked.
"Master Lu, you are so awesome. Are you trying to stump Master Jiang?"
"No way." Lu Haijun waved his hand, "Just as we were getting to the point, Master Jiang suddenly didn't want to talk any more. I don't know what happened."
At this time, Dong Zhengxuan, who was not far away, said: "It's time to get tired. He has the most things to do. He has worked hard for several days without any results. If he is not tired, he is still a human being."
"Hahaha, our Master Jiang is indeed becoming more and more human-like."
"That's right. I've felt that Master Jiang is like a human being from the beginning. After all, if he really knows everything, why would he want to find old guys like us?"
"Then let him have a good rest. Come on, Lao Zhang, let's study how your thunder hibiscus pattern can be integrated into my mechanism technique. I think it's just a little bit close."
…
An hour later, since Jiang Beiran was not in charge of the overall situation, various "friendly" discussions once again erupted in the hall.
"Huh? What do you mean there's something wrong with my Linghong Jade? It's obviously your method that doesn't work."
"Are you doubting my professional ability?"
"I don't doubt your ability as a weapon refiner, but what you are touching now is jade. You don't even understand jade cong, so why do you think it's jade?"
"Even if I don't understand, I still know that the jade you chose is wrong, and the pattern will not match. Do you understand if it doesn't match?"
"Why can't it be right!? I'm looking at it..." Yan Rong said halfway, he suddenly sniffed twice and said with some confusion: "What smells so good?"
One sentence caused several other masters who were also having a "friendly" discussion to stop talking and twitch their noses.
"Gudu..." Xue Yongqing couldn't help but swallowed, "Is this a food delivery?"
Two days ago, when a group of masters gathered together to discuss the new topic of Xuanyi fusion, because it was so fresh, the conversation was so lively that they forgot to eat or sleep. Not to mention eating during the discussion, they didn't even bother to take a sip of water.
At this moment, I suddenly smelled such a strong aroma of food, and everyone was greedy and wanted to feast on it.
"boom."
At this time, the door of the hall was pushed open. Jiang Beiran held up a tray with both hands and said to the ninth-grade masters: "You guys should take a rest after working for so long. I made some food while I was resting, and it's still warm."
"Um?"
Hearing that Jiang Beiran was cooking in person, all the Xuan Art Masters showed surprised expressions, some of which were unexpected.
"Okay, you're welcome, old man. Let's try Master Jiang's craftsmanship." After finishing speaking, Yan Rong was the first to walk out of the hall.
Then other grandmasters also followed out.
When they came to the courtyard, the masters found that several large tables were filled with appetizing delicacies. In addition, they had not had a good meal for several days. In an instant, all the masters gathered around the table.
, regardless of etiquette, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and tasted it.
Yan Rong was the first to come out and picked a plate of tofu. Although the tofu looked steaming hot, Yan Rong still picked up a whole piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.
As soon as I chewed it, my tongue immediately encountered a delicious taste that I had never experienced before.
The reason why Yan Rong picked tofu to eat first was naturally because his favorite dish was tofu, and as a ninth-grade master, he had never treated himself badly when it came to eating, and he had all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
eat.
But when he returns to normal, he still prefers this mouthful of tofu.
For this reason, the mansion specially invited three or four well-known chefs to specialize in making tofu, which can be fried, fried, cooked, and boiled.
Yan Rong thought he had tasted tofu delicacies across the continent, but he didn't expect to taste a better one today.
It was obviously tofu, but it tasted like meat. Coupled with the excellent texture of tofu, Yan Rong couldn't help but pick up another piece and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious." Yan Rong nodded, looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Master Jiang is really skillful. This tofu is definitely one of the four most delicious things in the world. It's very, very beautiful."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Master Yan, just like to eat."
"I like this one. I thought I had eaten tofu all over the world, but I never thought that I would meet my favorite here again. I just don't know how Master Jiang can make this tofu taste like meat?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran pointed to the plate of tofu in front of him and said: "I once passed by a place where there was a saying that it is grown in the soil, fished in the water, and walked among the stones. It will be white and boneless after being polished."
It’s just that tofu is like boneless meat. As long as it’s cooked well, it’s much more delicious than meat.”
"Hahaha, you are so fair and boneless. When I get out, Master Jiang will definitely take me to that place."
"no problem."
"Then I won't tell you now, otherwise I won't be able to eat if my chopsticks are slow."
The reason why Yan Rong said this was because he saw that the other masters were all immersed in eating, and none of them even had time to stop and praise, for fear that their share would be robbed.
No matter how many times, Jiang Beiran always feels happy when his food is liked by others.
That's why he chose to use cooking to relax.
Seeing all the masters eating happily, Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, picked up a bowl of sweet soup and walked towards one of them.
Hu Hongwei, who had not encountered the smell of meat for several days, was currently struggling with a plate of roast chicken. He even found it troublesome to eat with chopsticks, so he started tearing the chicken legs.
Normally, he would definitely not be so careless about his image.
But at this moment, he looked at the other masters who were so full of food that they had no image at all.
In addition, the flavor of this roasted chicken is really overpowering. Once you take a bite, you won't be able to stop eating it.
"I don't know what ingredients are put on this roasted chicken to make it taste so fresh and sweet..."
After eating a whole roasted chicken, Hu Hongwei, who still felt unsatisfied, smacked his lips and said.
"It's honey. I put a layer on it before baking."
Hearing this sudden answer, Hu Hongwei looked up and found that Master Jiang had walked towards him at some point.
"Hahaha." Hu Hongwei laughed happily and said: "I haven't eaten so happily for a long time. I never thought that Master Jiang, your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world." After Hu Hongwei finished speaking, he looked at the chicken skeleton in front of him.
He picked up the plate and continued to ask: "I wonder what else is special about this roast chicken?"
"In addition to the special seasoning of honey, I also sprinkled it with rock salt and spring kelp oil, which are special products from Anyang Mountain."
"What is this spring oil?" Hu Hongwei asked curiously.
"It is a low-level exotic beast raised by Shi's family. It has a lot of fat under the skin. When roasted, it becomes sizzling and oily. When you eat it, it leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth."
Hu Hongwei couldn't help but smacked his lips when he heard it, obviously he was greedy.
"Not only that, other meats can still maintain their chewiness even after being simmered or grilled after being smeared with the oil from the spring lynx meat. At the same time, they can also lock in the fresh and sweet juice and their own aroma."
"It seems that Master Jiang has put a lot of effort into the art of eating."
"I wonder if Master Hu has ever heard of a saying that food is the most important thing for the people."
"Of course I've heard of it." Hu Hongwei nodded.
"Whether it's a trafficker or a farmer, the biggest enjoyment after a long day's work is eating. However, many practitioners have forgotten this most primitive happiness and feel that it is a waste of time to focus on eating. I have always felt that it is a waste of time.
I beg to differ.”
As Jiang Beiran spoke, he placed the sugar water he had just taken in front of Hu Hongwei: "This is the last sesame paste I made. You can try it."
When Hu Hong saw the sesame paste that seemed to be shining in the bowl, he didn't mean to be polite. He just picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of it and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm~"
After one sip, the soft texture made Hu Hongwei's mind clear of all worries, leaving only sweetness.
He even closed his eyes in enjoyment and carefully enjoyed the deliciousness of this moment.
Hu Hongwei, who still had his eyes closed for a long time, said: "After drinking this sip of sesame paste, I understand a little bit what you just wanted to express, Master Jiang. After this sip, it really makes people feel that all the hard work and effort are worth it.
"
"Haha, if I can make Master Hu have such an idea, then my efforts have not been in vain."
Opening his eyes, Hu Hongwei drank the sesame paste as quickly as possible. Just as he was about to have another bowl, he saw Jiang Beiran hand over a note.
I took it and opened it and saw what was written on it.
[Saute over low heat until fragrant, remove the clothes and grind into pieces, grind with a stone grinder while slowly adding water until the slurry is smooth and smooth. 】
After reading it, Hu Hongwei couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing. He folded the note again and put it into the Qiankun Ring. He nodded and said: "Master Jiang really doesn't hide anything privately regardless of what he teaches. It's admirable."
In the past few days, many masters have repeatedly praised Master Jiang for not only his superb level of metaphysical arts, but also his first-class teaching ability. Almost every ninth-level master who has consulted Master Jiang feels that he has learned something.
You must know that it is more difficult than reaching the sky to get a ninth-grade master to say the three words "I have been taught".
This is enough to show that Jiang Beiran did not have any secrets when communicating with any of them, which is extremely rare among Xuan Art masters with many factions.
Many Xuanyi masters are very strict when selecting their apprentices. Even if you become the master's apprentice, you may not be able to learn the true skills. You have to be a close disciple.
Some even retain the traditional rule of passing on male children rather than female children.
"Knowledge is meant to be disseminated and is always hidden. Wouldn't it be a pity if it fell into your hands one day?"
"Hahaha." Hu Hongwei couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "If everyone could think like Master Jiang, there wouldn't be so many wonderful skills lost in the world."
"So Master Hu also agrees with my statement?"
After hearing this, Hu Hongwei was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly again: "So Master Jiang is waiting for me here, hahaha."
The first person to discover that Jiang Beiran was not good at Qiankun art was Hu Hongwei. At that time, he felt both disappointed and happy.
Disappointed that other masters could get some inspiration from Jiang Beiran, but he could not. Fortunately, he felt that Qiankun Art is indeed the most difficult mysterious art to master. Even a genius like Master Jiang still has to face it.
Deflated.
However, Hu Hongwei did not feel complacent because Jiang Beiran was not good at Qiankun Shu, but admired Jiang Beiran even more.
Because Jiang Beiran can obviously continue to remain mysterious and let everyone continue to think that he is good at the Sixteen Arts of Xuanmen. With his ability, it is not difficult to do this.
But he did not do this. Instead, he disclosed everything that could be disclosed, just to allow this cooperation between Xuan Art Masters to proceed smoothly.
So after laughing loudly, Hu Hongwei immediately made a decision and said: "I have said before that if Master Jiang wants to learn Qiankun Technique, I will definitely give him all my money and never hide anything."
"Okay, thank you Master Hu. You're welcome. I want to learn the Qiankun Technique now."
"Now?" Hu Hongwei was obviously stunned. His first reaction was that Jiang Beiran looked down on Qiankun Technique and actually wanted to learn it on a whim.
But just when he was about to get angry, he thought that Jiang Beiran had already learned most of the sixteen Taoist arts at such a young age. Such talent and learning ability cannot be measured by common sense.
Regarding this, Hu Hongwei suddenly had some curiosity in his heart. He wanted to see with his own eyes how far Jiang Beiran's talent could be displayed in the Qiankun Technique.
So, Hu Hongwei picked up the empty bowl in his hand and said to Jiang Beiran: "Before teaching, is it okay to have another bowl of sesame paste?"
Jiang Beiran also smiled after hearing this and replied: "That's enough."
…
It is said that the hands that hold others are short and the mouth that eats them is soft.
All the masters were already convinced by Jiang Beiran. Now after eating a delicious meal prepared by Jiang Beiran, their attitude became even more humble. The initial airs of being a master were all gone.
"Let's stop here today. From today on, I will ask Master Hu for advice on the art of heaven and earth. Please make your own arrangements during the night."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he closed the drawing and walked towards Hu Hongweina.
Only a group of grandmasters with wide-eyed expressions of disbelief were left behind.
