I am not a trainer

After listening to the nine-tailed fox's narration, Luo He fell into deep thought.

To put it simply, the legendary kitchen utensil [Suzaku Ding] consists of two parts.

And part of it, Zao Jun Ding, is a token left by Zao Jun in the ancient Qingqiu country.

"Can I take a look at what Zao Jun Ding looks like?" Luo He asked.

Nine-tailed fox did not refuse, turned around and motioned for Luo He to follow, and led him to a stone wall.

Afterwards, the nine-tailed fox's eyes lit up with a coquettish purple light.

Under its gaze, the stone wall made a muffled 'rumbling' sound, rising upwards, and a secret passage appeared.

Seeing this scene, Xia Sunian was even more amazed... There are many ancient institutions in this ruins, which can also reflect the value of the ruins from the side.

On balance, he did not follow Luo He into the secret passage.

After all, the only one Nine-Tailed Fox trusts is Luo He, and following her rashly is not necessarily a good thing.

In the secret passage, it was pitch black.

The nine-tailed fox stepped forward, and the light spread from its feet in a circular shape, illuminating the entire room.

In the room, stood a bronze sculpture, which was almost identical in appearance to the 'Kitchen Lord' that Luo He saw in the Kitchen Lord's Great Sacrifice.

In front of the statue of Zaojun, there is a large bronze tripod in the center of the altar.

With three legs and two ears, the imposing manner is extraordinary, giving people a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

The Nine-Tailed Fox squatted beside him, lowered his gaze, and stared at Luo He, warning him not to go any further, just stand here and watch from a distance.

Luo He also obeyed the rules, secretly looking at the big bronze cauldron, feeling faint ripples in his own space power.

This unusual induction comes from the mutual echo between the legendary kitchen utensils.

In other words, the big round tripod in front of him is really a legendary kitchen utensil!

But it is difficult to connect it with the [Suzaku Ding] based on the appearance of the bronze tripod.

Therefore, there is a high probability that what the nine-tailed fox said is true——

The Suzaku tripod lost the Suzaku fire, and only the bronze tripod, the "Kaojun token", remained in the Qingqiu ruins.

Luo Hemu thought about it, and slowly opened his mouth and said:

"I think you can understand that, as the inheritor of Emperor Nong, I am collecting the legendary kitchen utensils, and I also have the obligation and mission to collect all the kitchen utensils of Emperor Nong..."

The nine-tailed fox whimpered in a low voice, with extremely complicated emotions in his voice:

"Woo..." (I know, but protecting Zao Jun's keepsake is also our clan's mission since ancient times.)

"Can you leave this token with me and Xiaojiu for safekeeping?"

Luo He said earnestly: "I guarantee as the successor of Emperor Nong that I will definitely protect this 【Kaojun Ding】!"

Thinking of the other party's friendship to punish the murderer, not only entertained himself, but also cured the disease... Nine-tailed Fox sighed softly, saying:

"Woo." (I have a condition.)

"What conditions?"

"Woo!" (Cook a sacrificial offering for Zao Jun before you take away the Zao Jun's token!)

Luo He was slightly taken aback.

At the end of the day, do you still have to cook?

But this request is quite reasonable... If you want to inherit the inheritance, you naturally have to cook a delicious meal to reward Zaojun!

Looking around, the space is spacious enough, Luo He nodded and said:

"Then I'll cook here."

He looked at Nine-Tailed Fox: "Just wait for a while, there are Nongdi kitchen utensils, and the food for the sacrifice will be ready soon."

Nine-tailed Fox nodded silently, stepped aside, and watched Luo He who took out various kitchen utensils from the storage space.

To Nine-Tailed Fox's surprise, Luo He held not one piece of legendary kitchen utensils... but four pieces!

The simple and solid basalt board, the black and white mysterious unicorn cabinet, the Bai Ze bottle containing the power of time, and a green dragon ladle that emits sapphire light.

Luo He placed the four pieces of kitchen utensils on the stove, took a deep breath, and called out:

"Xiao Jiu, light a fire!"

Xiao Jiu responded, and spit out a raging fire, and the orange-yellow stove burned blazingly.

The knife in his hand has not yet been obtained, so Luo He can only temporarily make ends meet with the table knife given by the god of death.

Speaking of it, the table knife is a very typical Western-style tableware, which is incompatible with this set of Chinese-style kitchen utensils made by Nongdi.

Luo He has reason to suspect that this Western-style tableware also has a separate set...but there are no clues, so it can only be regarded as a guess.

There are still some essences left in the pufferfish ingredients just now.

Luo He originally wanted to keep it and go back to enjoy it for himself, but now it is used as a sacrifice, and it will definitely pass the test in terms of quality.

This ingredient is called "Fugu Baizi".

Baizi Cuisine is a unique delicacy known as 'delicious to the nerves'.

Shirako is actually the seminal vesicle of puffer fish. It is unavoidable to be surprised when you first hear it, but its plump taste is as smooth as cream. Whether it is roasted or made into chawanmushi with eggs, it is amazingly delicious.

Baizi tea bowl steamed, this is the appetizer prepared by Luo He.

As for the meat dishes, there are some fresh reed chickens left in the Qilin cabinet, making golden crispy fried chicken, the taste will never disappoint.

As for the main course, Luo He still remembers that at the Stove Lord's great sacrifice, the Stove Lord was particularly fond of a [brown sugar sesame seed cake], and this time he also planned to offer brown sugar sesame seed cake.

As for the dessert at the end... Of course, both Xiao Jiu and Zao Jun love it, glass snake fruit.

Secret room.

Xia Sunian couldn't help being taken aback when he smelled the fragrance coming from the secret passage.

What's the situation... is it eaten again?

No, I have to go in and have a look!

Xia Sunian made up his mind, held the compass in his hand steadily, and walked towards the secret room.

at the same time.

In front of the altar, smoke rises from the kitchen, and the steamed Baizi tea bowl steamed by the high fire is the first to be released.

The wobbly steamed egg is moist and smooth, and the white rice on the top gives it a delicious taste.

Not long after, the fried chicken was pulled out of the oil pan by Luo He. It was golden and crispy, sprinkled with pepper and salt, and the meat was rich and fragrant.

Xiao Jiu controlled the heat, speeding up the steaming process, and the brown sugar biscuits for the main dish were also quickly out of the oven.

The three dishes of Baizi tea bowl steamed, fried whole chicken, and brown sugar pancakes are put together, and the heat is intertwined into an irresistible aroma.

The last glazed snake fruit, although honey is added, is surprisingly refreshing and relieves greasiness, which can perfectly set off the whole sacrificial feast.

A table full of dishes was placed on the altar.

Luo He nodded in satisfaction, and looked back at Nine-Tailed Fox: "Is this all right?"

The nine-tailed fox's eyes flickered, swallowing hard.

Even though I was full just now, I still want to eat!

Wisps of hot air from the sacrificial food gradually drifted towards the statue of the Kitchen God.

The chubby nine-section wolf statue seemed to suddenly come alive.

Luo He wondered if he was wrong.

Take a closer look, the statue of Zao Jun really blinked!

"Huh?" Luo He's eyes widened.

On the stove, four pieces of legendary kitchen utensils vibrated, making tinkling sounds.

Xiao Jiu looked up in surprise, and saw that the statue of Zao Jun exuded a faint golden light, which was very similar to the scene at the Zao Jun Grand Sacrifice!

"Huh?"

Xiao Jiu rubbed her eyes and opened them forcefully.

I saw a chubby nine-section wolf sitting on the altar, with auspicious cloud patterns on its body, and inextinguishable golden flames burning on its limbs, enjoying the sacrificial food happily!

"Oh!"

Xiao Jiu was shocked and raised her hands... The senior actually appeared again!

The Nine-Tailed Fox froze in place, opened its mouth wide, and showed deep shock in its eyes.

The statue of Zao Jun is actually alive, alive? !

Xia Sunian walked into the secret room, stopped walking suddenly, and stared at the figure on the altar in disbelief.

Am I dreaming?

click -

Xia Sunian excitedly clenched the compass in his hand.

I'm going, it's true, Mr. Kitchen has appeared again!

Luo He was in a daze for a moment, then looked at Zao Jun on the altar, smiled and said:

"meet again."

Mr. Zao bit his brown sugar biscuits, with sugar juice on his mouth, squinting his eyes happily and nodding.

Luo He said: "Did you run down from...the heaven?"

Zao Jun nodded, stood up on the altar, pointed at the big bronze tripod with his finger, and then pointed at Luo He.

"You want me to take this big tripod away?" Luo He asked in surprise.

Zao Jun smiled and nodded, and waved to Xiao Jiu again.

The little red-haired beast slowly approached Mr. Zao with a little surprise and nervousness.

The next moment, Zao Jun stretched out his chubby hand and lightly tapped Xiao Jiu's forehead.

in an instant.

On Xiao Jiu's forehead, a little auspicious cloud pattern similar to that of Zao Jun lit up.

The auspicious cloud pattern is burning with golden flames, like a magical imprint surging with power, steaming an astonishing heat wave.

For a moment, Xiao Jiu was placed in the golden flames, sensing the vibrating energy in her body, stood on both feet, and suddenly clenched her fists.

boom! !

A raging fire swelled under its feet, forcing Luo He, Xia Sunian, and Nine-Tailed Fox to retreat outside the ring of fire.

And Zao Jun had a plate of fried chicken on his head, holding other dishes on his hands and arms, avoiding the flames without any danger.

The action... is quite cute.

The change that happened to Xiao Jiu made Jiuweihu look surprised, and Xia Sunian said in astonishment:

"Is this going to—evolve!?"

Luo He held his breath, staring closely at Xiao Jiu in the flames soaring into the sky, always paying attention to Xiao Jiu's energy changes.

Xiao Jiu's aura was rising steadily, and under the blessing of the auspicious cloud mark, she broke through the quasi-overlord level in an instant and reached the bottleneck of the overlord level.

Luo He originally thought that this was Xiao Jiu's limit.

However, Mr. Zao put down the dinner plate, heaved a sigh of relief, and then exhaled a ball of flames towards Xiao Jiu.

The feeling that this flame gives Luo He is exactly the same as the sense of oppression when Senior Turtle releases his moves...

Combined with Bai Zetu's information, it is the Xuantian Flame provided by Xuantian Siming!

The mysterious fire poured into Xiao Jiu's body, like a raging fire cooking oil, instantly lighting up Xiao Jiu's tail ring.

Xiao Jiu raised his hands high in the raging fire, and the purple coercion of Jiu Jie Lang Fu was also dyed with golden light at this moment!

boom! !

Evolution is complete.

Luo He was greatly shocked when he looked at Xiao Jiu who was aggressive.

The growth level broke through to the overlord field, and the first overlord-level member in the team was born!

After the evolution, the auspicious cloud mark on Xiaojiu's forehead gradually faded, and the appearance did not change much from the original one. But the flame it ignited was golden, with an aura of life and death, just like the stove fires lit by thousands of households.

Luo He secretly sighed.

This wave, this wave is a major version update, Xiao Jiu has been greatly enhanced!

[Pet name: Xiaozao Jun]

[attribute: fire]

[Growth Level: Low Overlord]

[Racial Level: High Overlord]

[Explanation: The pet beast evolved from the nine-section wolf that masters the stove, as the chef's best helper, it can increase the quality of cooking. Its vitality is as strong as a stove, and it can be ignited as long as there is a stove. 】

Luo He touched his chin.

Xiao Jiu doesn't know when she mastered the stove... Maybe it's because I always let it help make the fire?

In any case, the improvement in strength is real.

Xiao Jiu became the team's first overlord-level beast, and awakened two quasi-god-level moves.

[Fire cooking oil]: Quasi-god move. Summons a large sea of ​​flames, killing and burning enemies in an area.

[Zhongming Dingshi]: A quasi-god-level move. Summons a big cauldron to drop from the sky, after the big cauldron is smashed, it will continue to exist, and at the same time emit shock waves and halos.

The shock wave will continue to damage the surrounding enemies, and the brilliance will continue to restore the status of the surrounding teammates. (This move requires props to release.)

Luo He hissed.

Zao Jun's inheritance was indeed strong enough, directly adding two quasi-god ranks to Xiao Jiu's skill pool!

The first fire cooking oil, a simple and rude fire AOE move.

The second big move gave Luo He a subtle sense of "summoning meteorites from the sky"...

And this [Zhong Ming Ding Shi] is obviously matched with [Zao Jun Ding], only in this way can the strongest power of the move be exerted.

Luo He let out a breath, calmed Xiao Jiu's sense of joy after his evolution, looked at Zao Jun who was eating, and thanked:

"Thank you very much for your help... Without you, I don't think Xiao Jiu would be able to evolve at this time."

With a smile on his face, Zao Jun shook the brown sugar biscuits in his hand, then nodded vigorously.

It probably means that this dish is delicious, Mr. Zao is quite satisfied!

Luo He smiled happily and said:

"If you have a chance, please try my craft next time!"

Zao Jun stretched out his hand and pointed, and the bronze round tripod in front of the statue was bathed in golden light and floated out of thin air.

Immediately, the bronze round tripod gradually shrank, becoming the size of a handicraft, and gradually fell into Luo He's palm.

Luo He was slightly taken aback, looking at the Zao Jun Yuanding in his hand, he tightened his palms.

Immediately, he raised his eyes and nodded deeply at Zao Jun:

"Don't worry, Xiaojiu and I will take good care of the Zao Jun Ding!"

"Oh!"

Xiao Jiu raised both hands.

Whoever wants to snatch it away, just give me a nine-section wolf's anger first!

Zao Jun smiled slightly.

Luo He heard its telepathy and said:

"I hope you can find [Suzaku's Flame] so that Emperor Nong's Suzaku Cauldron can see the light of day again."

So, Suzaku's Fire is still a separate item?

Luo He thoughtfully, nodded silently, and agreed to Xia Zao Jun's request.

The golden light shone.

On the altar, the figure of Kitchen God disappeared, leaving only the empty plate and the cold statue.

But the overlord-level aura exuded by Xiao Jiu, and the small Zao Jun Ding in his hand, proved everything just now.

Luo He stopped for a long time, let out a breath, and backhanded the Zao Jun Ding into the jade pendant.

Looking back, Xia Sunian's face was full of shock and emotion.

Xia Sunian sighed: "I really didn't expect that Xiao Jiu could evolve again!"

On the side, Nine-Tailed Fox was full of awe towards Xiao Jiu... Stove Lord granted the token to Nine-section Wolf, and its status as the inheritance of Stove Lord is beyond doubt!

"I didn't expect that this trip to Qingqiu Ancient Country would yield unexpected gains..."

Luo He glanced at Xiao Jiu.

Not only did Xiaojiu successfully evolve and awaken powerful moves, but he also obtained information about Zaojunding and the legendary kitchen utensils.

Next, it's time to go back to Yunling and have dinner with Senior Bai Ze and Senior Turtle.

Bai Ze should know the whereabouts of Suzaku Zhihuo.

As for Senior Turtle... Luo He looked up at the sky.

I can't wait to see the shocking scene when Senior Turtle saw Xiao Jiu!

...
