Building a sect from scratch

"Do you like sweet? Or sweet and sour? There are also light or milky ones?"

Bai Li Shuang distributed the menu of the milk tea shop to several people and introduced: "These are all milk teas, which are milk and tea. The ingredients are here. The ones above are fruit teas and fruit juices. This honey lemon tea is the best-selling one. Lemon is citron, and the name "lemon" is... It came from somewhere else. And these are pure teas, bamboo rice tea, Yunding Golden Bud..."

Several people made their choices, and not long after, each of them held a bamboo cup and sat outside a barbecue restaurant not far away.

On the long stove, there were dozens of iron skewers with a variety of ingredients. The aroma of cumin and chili conquered the surrounding air, and the spicy and stimulating smell went straight into people's nostrils.

"Sister, it smells so good..." The junior disciple of Taiyi Ziwei Sect slurped his saliva and whispered to another disciple beside him.

Most monks eat wind and drink dew, and sometimes they meditate and comprehend the truth for more than ten days, or even more than a month, and rarely eat.

After fasting, most monks have only a few formal meals at social occasions such as banquets of major sects. In such occasions, they are not mainly for eating, but for tasting delicacies and fine wines. Their common characteristics are that they are light and natural. Barbecue is a kind of overbearing hodgepodge with various strong aromas mixed together, which is something I have never seen before.

The player who was flipping the kebabs was brave enough to greet Baili Shuang with a smile, and asked unwillingly: "Big sister, do we really not have chili peppers like millet peppers in Guixu Realm? This golden finger pepper is spicy enough, but it's not fragrant enough!"

Jiao Xueling coughed a few times due to the spiciness and asked: "Golden finger pepper? Isn't that a spicy material used for alchemy?"

"Hey, in our Taiyin Sect, these are all seasonings! There are also dried tea seeds, which we call cumin, which are all used for seasoning. Alas, I don't know how you live. You have everything but don't know how to use it!"

The player said, and smacked his lips with a look of pity.

"My junior fellow is cultivating the five flavors, and is quite knowledgeable about food," Baili Shuang explained, "He sometimes studies new dishes and lets everyone taste them here. If you are willing to stay in Taiyin Sect for a few more days, you can come and visit often."

As soon as Baili Shuang finished speaking, the player with the ID [Large Intestine Sashimi] blushed with excitement - he was actually remembered by the senior sister! She even remembered his major... oh no, it was the inherited sect! There are so many players in the whole server! Being remembered by the senior sister! If she told others about it, she would brag about it for several days!

He wiped the oil on his hands on his clothes excitedly and said, "Big sister, come and eat, what are you waiting for! I will prepare some fancy things for Big Sister in a while! New products that have just been researched! Huang Gong said it was good after eating it!"

"Thank you very much, Junior Brother!"

Bai Li Shuang thanked him casually and asked the two Taiyi Ziwei disciples beside Jiao Xueling: "I haven't asked for the names of these two Taoist friends yet?"

Jiao Xueling said, "They are two useless people. This one is called Chao Yan and the other is called Lv Wenyuan. One is studying alchemy and the other is practicing swordsmanship. They are both in the foundation building stage and are just one step away from the golden elixir. That's why I brought them out to experience it. It's OK." Perhaps the noise around eased the previous tension and fear, and the little sister Chaoyan also relaxed a lot, and asked curiously: "Is this also the Taiyin Sect? Why can your sect allow disciples to do business in the sect?" "It is the Taiyin Sect, but this is a city built by the disciples of the Taiyin Sect themselves. The disciples of the Taiyin Sect do not have a strong sense of belonging to the inheritance of the master. Instead, they often stick together in the form of a community. This Chang'an City was built by the Taiyin disciples of the Chang'an Community." Chaoyan and Lu Wenyuan heard the words and looked around carefully, but they were more confused. "City? But there are no city walls here?"

"It really doesn't look like a city!"

Without waiting for Baili Shuang to answer, Dachang Sashimi, who had been listening to gossip with his ears perked up, couldn't help but say: "City walls are something you need when you don't have enough firepower! Our Chang'an City has a fierce firepower! We don't need any city walls at all!"

"Firepower... insufficient?"

"Sister, what does he mean by 'ga ga'?"

"I don't know, why do I feel that the people of Taiyin Sect speak so strangely?"

Jiao Xueling looked at the people coming and going not far away, and her doubts were no less than those of her junior brothers and sisters: "Compared to the city walls, I am more curious, why there are so many mortals here, and they can afford to eat 'immortal food'?"

The so-called 'immortal food' refers to food cooked with spiritual materials, which is mostly cultivated by kitchen cultivators, food cultivators and other cultivators who cultivate the five flavors.

The five flavors are sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty. Cooking with spiritual materials, distinguishing the five flavors, and using food to replenish qi and spirit is also a way of cultivation. However, this kind of practice is both expensive and talent-dependent, and the effect is not ideal, so there are very few such practitioners in the major sects.

Large Intestine Sashimi flipped the skewer over, sprinkled some homemade barbecue powder, and scratched his head: "Why can't I afford it? It's not expensive!"

Jiao Xueling was choked by the righteous words of Large Intestine Sashimi, and said euphemistically: "I thought that most mortals had to farm and weave day and night to fill their stomachs."

"It's too much work to rely on them to farm! We cultivators can just use spiritual energy to stimulate the birth, or find earth and wood spiritual roots to do something, and our efficiency can catch up with a hundred ordinary people!"

Chao Yan and Lu Wenyuan frowned: "How can cultivators do these things?"

"Isn't this letting them get something for nothing?"

Large intestine sashimi made a disdainful sound from his nostrils and retorted: "How can it be getting something for nothing! It's also hard work! For example, sowing, sorting after harvesting, and fine processing, this kind of work is not for them NP... uh, why let ordinary people do it! Besides, my barbecue restaurant employs only mortals, and the goods are good and cheap!"

Chao Yan and Lu Wenyuan People were even more shocked. Even Jiao Xueling couldn't help but say, "How can a person with incomplete five spirits cultivate the way of five flavors?"

"What does incomplete five spirits mean?"

Large intestine sashimi hissed and felt that he couldn't understand the logic of these NPCs: "No matter whether the five spirits are complete or not, there is no threshold to cooking. It doesn't matter what you use to cook. Isn't it good to eat?"

Lv Wenyuan was the first to get anxious: "You, you are simply hurting your heart! Incomplete five spirits are residual spiritual roots, and the road to immortality is cut off. How can you practice?"

This statement is understandable - since the disciples of Guangcheng Sect poured into Chang'an City in large numbers, the players' ears have been callused by the words such as "residual spiritual roots" can't cultivate immortality! But this time, before Dachang Sashimi could refute, the female cultivator's mocking voice came from the table where two cultivators, a man and a woman, sat next to him: "You are talking as if you can become an immortal if your immortal path is not broken!"

Following that, the male cultivator also added a knife: "Your spiritual roots are not damaged, and your immortal path is not broken, so why haven't you become an immortal and prove your way? Don't you want to?"

Let me explain the issue of peppers. First of all, we are imagining immortals, and it is a false proposition to worry about whether there are peppers. If the author says there are, there are, understand?

Secondly, according to the report that wild peppers were discovered in Shennongjia in the 1990s, there are peppers in China (and there are records in the pre-Qin period, it seems to be Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals or something, I forgot), but it has never been domesticated and used as a seasoning. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the domesticated peppers from America were introduced, including the peppers we eat now, which are all American peppers (including those domesticated in other countries, the source seems to be American peppers). But! There is no doubt that there are peppers in China!
