Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 149 The Way of the Spiritual Chef

"The chef of the spiritual chef is not the same as the cook of ordinary people."

Dining room.

Bao Chao stood in front of a cutting board, as if he had changed himself.

Said Wang Ba seriously.

At this time, Wang Ba didn't put on the airs of a Foundation Building monk anymore. In fact, he didn't have any airs at all. He just did it so that the other party could hand over the skills of the spirit chef to himself.

He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Bao Chao continued:

"The mortal cooks are there to satisfy the appetite and sense of taste, but our spiritual chefs try to preserve and stimulate the maximum effect of the spiritual food, and at the same time remove the useless or harmful parts for the monks, so as to shorten the cost for the monks to consume the spiritual food. Time and energy can be regarded as a means to assist cultivation."

"This is also different from alchemy. Alchemy is to reconcile the air of plants, trees, gold and stones, thereby deriving various effects. Although the toxicity is also considered, the effect is their highest pursuit."

"This is also the reason why elixirs almost always have erysipelas, not only because of the heterogeneous aura contained in them, but also because the elixirs of many elixirs only considered the effect at the beginning of creation. , you should be able to see that many elixir materials often contain gold, stone and minerals that we cannot absorb."

Wang Ba suddenly understood after hearing this.

He had always thought that those elixirs contained spiritual herbs, Spirit Medicine, but he did not expect that they also contained things like gold and stones.

No wonder there is a so-called erysipelas.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking: "Then Master Bao, I have taken the Blood Magic Pill before, but why didn't I notice the erysipelas in it?"

"Blood magic pill? Seniors have eaten this?"

Bao Chao looked at Wang Ba in surprise when he heard the words, but then nodded and said: "Senior, the question is very good. The reason is very simple. Although this blood magic pill is a pill, in fact, the formation that condenses the blood magic pill uses , is similar to the method of our spirit chefs!"

"So, rather than saying it is a pill, it is better to say... the essence of human flesh and blood."

"In fact, it is no different from the spirit chicken essence."

Hearing this, Wang Ba felt slightly uncomfortable. After all, he took two pills himself.

Although all the elixir power was sucked away by Zhao Feng's soul-raising beads, it was him who took it after all.

But he quickly noticed another problem: "But there were other monks in the blood sacrifice formation at that time, and most of these monks also had erysipelas in their bodies, right? The blood sacrifice formation refined them, so the blood magic pill also Will there be erysipelas?”

"This is what I said, the spirit chef's method is to eliminate as much as possible everything that is unfavorable to the monks."

"Including erysipelas, or something else."

Having said this, Bao Chao suddenly asked: "Speaking of the blood sacrifice formation, does senior know why this formation appears?"

Wang Ba immediately shook his head, how could he know this.

Bao Chao was not surprised, and a strange expression appeared on his face:

"Compared with precious and rare spiritual objects, humans, the leader of all things and born spiritual beings, can be seen everywhere, but they are natural spiritual resources."

"Therefore, eating humans and even raising humans in captivity was a common method used by many Demonic Dao Sect sects in ancient times."

Hearing this, although Wang Ba had long been aware of the ferocity of the Demonic Sect, he still couldn't help but feel a chill.

But Bao Chao continued:

"However, after these demonic monks ate a large amount of human beings, they found that they were always easily disturbed by inner demons, and their minds became insane, and even their souls tended to collapse."

"No one can find the reason. They only find that people only have such symptoms after eating a large amount."

"Some monks gave up eating humans, collected relatively common common Spirit Communication beasts and spiritual rice, removed the impurities, purified the flesh and blood essence, and refined it into easily absorbed spiritual food."

"And some monks are really too poor, so they can only try their best to solve the problem of losing control of their minds."

"They borrowed ideas from the former, and after many attempts, finally found a solution."

"Thus, the Blood Sacrifice Formation was born."

"There have actually been many changes since then, but in the end, it's still the same."

Bao Chao looked at Wang Ba: "Presumably, senior has guessed the origin of Lingchu, right?"

"Magic monk?"

Wang Ba said tentatively.

"Exactly! Our lineage of spiritual chefs is actually a method separated from the orthodoxy of ancient demonic monks."

"What I pursue is to plunder the essence of spiritual beasts and even spiritual plants and return it to myself!"

A trace of enthusiasm flashed in Bao Chao's eyes.

"We are not like array masters, alchemy masters, weapon masters, and talisman masters who have a systematic knowledge system and advanced system... In fact, there are no precise grades for spiritual chefs. It all depends on how familiar they are with the ingredients they handle. , processing methods and grasp of purification methods.”

"Of course, we also have our own criteria for judging."

"The higher the grade of the ingredients, the higher the degree of preservation of the essence, the better the chef's skills."

“Of course, the premise is that no impurities or useless parts remain.”

Wang Ba nodded when he heard this: "Then, where should I start learning now?"

Bao Chao smiled when he heard this, turned sideways, and revealed several large buckets of toad-like spiritual beasts behind him:

"These are low-level spiritual beasts, eel-tailed clams. What seniors have to do is to classify every bone, every muscle, every piece of skin...all of them!"

Looking at the toads in the bucket, which were stacked one above another, covered with tumors and even dripping with poisonous slurry, Wang Ba was instantly horrified.

He couldn't help but look at Bao Chao, suspecting that this guy was deliberately retaliating against him.

Really, he wasn't afraid of anything, he was only afraid of this disgusting thing with tumors all over his body.

Every time he saw this thing, he felt as if someone had cast an Immobilization Technique or a lightning strike. He would either freeze or jump in fear.

He couldn't help but want to use the jade pendant that Zhao Feng gave him to wipe out all the dirty things in front of him.

Fortunately, he held back.

"How about we change to another kind of spiritual beast? How about a spiritual chicken? I have a lot of them here!"

Wang Ba resisted the urge to cast a spell and told Bao Chao.

However, Bao Chao shook his head firmly and said: "There is no spiritual beast more suitable for beginners than this eel-tailed clam. Even now, I often use them to practice. Once the seniors are familiar with its body, most of them will You can quickly master the Rank One ingredients.”

Hear this.

Wang Ba gritted his teeth and glanced at Bao Chao, then simply turned off his sense of touch and vision.

I suddenly felt better.

Bao Chao seemed to have guessed Wang Ba's little movements, and reminded: "By the way, senior, in order to better grasp the eel-tailed clam's body, you'd better use your five senses and your spiritual consciousness together, and understand it carefully."

Wang Ba: "..."

Fight for the freedom of Lingji Essence!

…

In the blink of an eye, it was two months later.

Jiantao is stationed in a dining room on the outskirts of Taoshengfang City.

"call--"

The magic power on Wang Ba's finger quietly dissipated.

In front of him, there was a huge wooden table filled with bones and muscles...

And these actually all come from the same eel-tailed clam.

It's just that Wang Ba's cutting and separation are too fine.

A palm-sized eel-tailed clam covered the entire table.

"However, the organs and tissues in this eel-tailed clam are indeed quite complex."

"No wonder Bao Chao said that once he's familiar with this one, most of the Rank One spirit beasts won't be a problem."

Wang Ba secretly sighed.

Two months of painstaking study with no distractions.

As a monk of the Foundation Building, he has already studied this eel-tailed clam extremely thoroughly.

Now he can distinguish every part of the eel clam clearly and meticulously with his eyes closed.

However, this is only the most basic part of learning the cooking skills.

Not even the first step.

According to Bao Chao, after he became familiar with the eel-tail clam through dissection, he needed to use magic power to separate an extremely tiny organ specified by the eel-tail clam while ensuring that the eel-tail clam was alive and kicking.

And then, he asked to be able to use his magic power to dissect the eel-tailed clam in the blink of an eye, giving him the effect of manual dissection.

In short, he must be extremely familiar with the ingredients before he has completed the first step.

The second step is to learn how to handle the ingredients and learn how to retain the essence of the ingredients as much as possible.

third step……

These are also extremely tedious and lengthy processes.

And these things, even the Shouyuan panel can't do anything about, because there is no bottleneck at all, and there are no techniques or spells. You have to practice it entirely by yourself.

Oh, no, the purification method will be used in the third step, and the Shouyuan Panel may also come in handy.

Other than that, it's all stupid work.

This is also true of most monks' skills.

It requires a lot of time and effort.

Therefore, unless the talent is extraordinary or the cultivation talent is too low, there is no hope of breakthrough.

Otherwise, most of the monks would only have a taste of the art of cultivating immortals in the early days, and they would rather focus on cultivating magic power.

As long as the level of cultivation is improved and the lifespan is long, these skills can be gradually improved.

Moreover, under the high level, the understanding of these skills is also different, which saves more time.

For example, Wang Ba, as a Foundation Building monk, has more spiritual awareness than Qi Refining monks and can better observe and become familiar with eel clams.

Only in this way can the basic part of the spiritual kitchen be completed in just two months.

For an ordinary Qi Refining monk, this part alone might take a year.

It was precisely this experience that made Wang Ba's original desire to learn other skills fade away.

It’s just too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

In the past two months, in addition to visualizing the Yin God and practicing the power of the Yin God, he also temporarily stopped practicing magic in order to become familiar with the eel tail clam more quickly.

As a result, until now, let alone asking him to make spiritual chicken essence, he has never even touched chicken feathers.

This is still an extremely unpopular skill. If it were replaced by a more profound and even bottomless professional skill like an alchemist, it would probably be even more exaggerated.

It really depends on talent, talent and mental perseverance.

"Once you have learned the skills of the Spiritual Chef, stop and concentrate on your practice!"

Wang Ba made a decision secretly in his heart.

If he hadn't learned how to be a spiritual cook, mastering the method of making spiritual chicken essence would be beneficial to his practice and would be much more convenient. He even wanted to give up on the spiritual cook.

However, he still spoke to Bao Chao, and then sat in the teleportation array and returned to Dongsheng Station.

I haven’t returned to Dongsheng Station for two months, and it’s almost time to harvest the spiritual rice next to the chicken farm.
