A Guide to Modern Cultivation

After Yunling pressed a few buttons, brought up the recipe he wanted and selected the automatic cooking option, a faint white halo was emitted from the whole body of the cauldron, and what was even more amazing was that he actually saw the empty Inside the belly of the cauldron, several metal strips protruded from the surrounding walls of the tripod in four directions. After interlacing, they turned into a wavy metal net!

At this time, the floating golden writing in front of Yunling changed for a while, indicating that the operator should put the fish meat on the metal net and click on the word "burn".

Yunling's eyes were a little straight, but his hands were still trembling. He put the two pre-marinated fish on the Internet one by one, and clicked on the word "烧".

The body of the tripod emitted red light again, like a protective cover, completely covering the mouth of the tripod, and the writing on it changed again, asking the operator to raise the fire.

The two quickly squatted down and started to make a fire, and they couldn't help discussing while making a fire.

"Is this thing not a high-tech product of aliens? It's a cooking machine developed by ancient monks? This is too time-traveled!" Yunling was still surprised until now.

Wei Jingcheng was also shocked by the scene just now. He pondered for a while: "Could it be the second person who got this recipe and improved this tripod? That person used simplified characters, and depending on his speaking habits... ...I think that person is very likely to be a time traveler."

Yunling's expression was still shocked at this time, and he nodded slowly: "Very likely." It would be much easier to understand if this thing was improved by the time traveler, and let him choose one to believe in aliens and time travelers, Yunling thinks It is more reliable to choose a time traveler... Although thinking about it carefully, neither of these two options is reliable!

Not long after, the fire was lit by the two of them, and the handwriting on the tripod changed again, indicating that the ingredients would be cooked after a stick of incense. It hovered up, and the two pieces of fish placed in it were spinning around non-stop.

Yunling and Wei Jingcheng studied it carefully again and confirmed that this cauldron will automatically isolate the heat underneath after cooking, that is to say, they only need to maintain the firewood below to keep it burning , within half an hour, the dishes in the tripod will be ready automatically, and then the temperature will be automatically kept off, even if they forget to turn off the flame, it will be fine.

It was the first time to use the automatic cooking function of the tripod, and the two of them were somewhat scratching their heads and couldn't sit still, fearing that the fish would be burnt, or there was something wrong with the tripod making, or they kept paying attention to the firewood burning under the tripod. No sign of going out?

Therefore, the two guys who agreed to practice invisibility together had no results at all within half an hour.

Soon the time was up, and the specially arranged alarm clock rang in time. Yunling quickly stood up, stood nervously beside Ding, observing every gleam of brilliance flowing on Ding, Wei Jingcheng seemed calmer than him, but He also couldn't sit still, and also got up and stood beside Yunling, staring at the cauldron intently.

At the moment when the time came to an end, the radiance that was originally surrounding the two pieces of fish and the barbecue net in the cauldron faded to all sides after a while of flying, and then retracted into the cauldron wall.The red light on the tripod's mouth is still there, completely sealing the tripod's mouth in a semicircle, as if adding a red cover to the well.

The words floating on the tripod changed again, this time it was a traditional Chinese character "kai". Obviously, just a little bit of this, the two of them could finally have hot food!

Yunling took a deep breath, raised a finger and tapped it lightly. After a while, the red light film gradually dissipated from the top center to the edge of the tripod mouth. This scene was breathtakingly beautiful. It's hard to imagine that this is a special effect picture of a well after cooking. Those who don't know it may think that some kind of elixir has been practiced in it.

As the red light dissipated, a fragrant smell of fish, with a hint of sweet and sour smell also spread out at the same time. There was a hint of shock in Yunling's eyes, and he quickly and carefully used two flat "shovels" , and shoveled one of the fish onto a flat black stone with a slight depression in the middle—these were all found in the cave before, and it was only confirmed when they were taken out to look under natural light that the stones in the cave were all Black, like irregularly large and small pebble-like stones.

This kind of stone has a smooth surface and no peculiar smell. There are all kinds of shapes, but most of them are very smooth by the underground river water. You can even pick out a lot of them, and use them as auxiliary stones placed in various directions when setting up the formation.

Wei Jingcheng also took a flat, slightly sunken black stone plate, and carefully shoveled the fish into it. The orange cat was already a little impatient. Although it had eaten a piece of fresh fish before, the two of Yunling I was afraid that there might be some parasites in the fish, so it was not allowed to eat any more. In addition, the group of cats themselves were used to eating cooked food. With a piece of fish meat as the bottom, I realized that today his master and another two-legged beast I will cook him food, so there is no fuss, and I have been obediently waiting by the side.

The two of Yunling put the meat on a slightly higher stone as their table, and sat cross-legged on one side. Hearing the orange cat's cry, Wei Jingcheng lowered his head and smiled, comforting it: "Don't worry, wait Let me dry it for you." Then, he put a small piece of individual fish into another black hour "bowl" that was prepared on the stone table earlier - this piece of meat did not add any seasoning, only With a little juice of Qinzhucao on it, orange cats should be able to eat it.

It is said that although the orange cat is still unable to determine whether it is a cat, but in Wei Jingcheng's house, after a collective discussion among the three human members, they decided not to give the orange cat food with salt for the time being, so as not to cause any problems.

Wei Jingcheng blew on the small bowl of fish and smashed them to increase the speed of cooling down. Yunling didn't have the nerve to eat the fish first and helped Wei Jingcheng blow it together, but the two of them sat facing each other Is it like this blowing... It seems that the two are competing to blow each other first.

Not long after, the cat owner’s fish was the first to cool down and was sent to the cat owner. The orange cat opened its mouth very satisfied, and began to eat it—both of them forgot, in fact, the orange cat had already eaten it after getting up early. Cat food!

Yunling and Wei Jingcheng couldn't wait any longer, and quickly picked up their wooden chopsticks and began to eat quickly.

As soon as the fish is in the mouth, it makes the tongue and teeth feel extremely tender and smooth. It took 10 minutes to grill, but the fish itself shows no signs of being burnt, and even the soup inside is not lost at all. I don’t know. Could it be that the radiance flying out from the cauldron wall locks the juice in the fish, and at this moment, it bursts out together, and combined with the nourishment of the spiritual energy, it can almost freshen people's tongues!

The juice of Qinzhucao is sour and sweet, together with a little salt, it fully stimulates the umami taste of the fish itself!

Yunling almost swallowed his tongue. He has never eaten such delicious fish until this year!There is no fishy smell at all, it melts in the mouth, it is tender and juicy, coupled with the warm aura, he has no time to chat and complain with Wei Jingcheng, but there is another thought in his heart: use the automatic The fish made by the cooking function is so delicious, how much can it be improved manually?

It's a pity that Yunling, who has self-knowledge, knows very well that he may not be able to eat fish that is more delicious than this in his life. It is better to hope that Wei Jingcheng will be able to improve his cooking skills one day, and use his own tripod to dry it out. Woolen cloth!

It stands to reason that neither Yunling nor Wei Jingcheng may be able to eat a fish that weighs more than one catty. After all, fish meat is no more than pigs, cattle and sheep, and it does not occupy the stomach, but it seems that it is because of the rich spiritual energy in the fish meat The reason is that after the two and one cat finished eating, they felt almost [-]% to [-]% full, so they didn't bother anymore.

Yunling sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and began to transport the spiritual energy in the food into the lower dantian.

The fish caught by the two of them is rich in aura. In addition, the aura of Qinzhucao itself and the combination of the two, as described in the Sutra, can stimulate about [-]% more of the two. Aura.

So after Yunling closed his eyes and began to carry it, he instantly felt a completely different feeling from the one he had when eating at school—the aura of this one is so rich!It almost made him wonder if it was possible to carry it completely in a short time before the aura overflowed!

So he stepped up the speed of carrying, with no distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly pulled the warm breath in his stomach closer to his lower dantian. The speed became faster and faster, and the aura in his dantian gathered more and more until he completely wiped it out. After the aura of the food in his stomach was emptied, Yunling felt it carefully, and was surprised to find that this was more than the total amount of aura he had accumulated in the three meals at school before!

After another small cycle, Yunling opened his eyes. Not long after, Wei Jingcheng, who was opposite him, finished his meditation and also opened his eyes to look at Yunling.

"This grilled fish has a lot of aura! It's much more aura than what I absorbed in the food I ate all day before. I think it's at least two days' worth!" Yunling's eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement.

Wei Jingcheng nodded slightly: "Although I can't absorb the aura in this food directly from my stomach, after meditating just now, I found that the amount of aura transformed this time is also slightly higher than the amount transformed in the previous meditation. .”

"Hey, it works for you too? That's even better! Let's meditate together after dinner!" Yunling's brows and eyes curled up.

Refining and transforming qi originally refers to a process of transforming the essence in the body into "qi". Where does the so-called essence come from?During the qi training period, when the aura of heaven and earth cannot be absorbed, it basically comes from the food you eat, but it is different from Yunling. The essence of ordinary people refers to the accumulated energy after eating and digesting nutrients into the body. This kind of substance, while Yunling directly extracts the aura from the food that has just been eaten in the stomach.

There is no way to say which one is better than the other, because even if ordinary people don't eat foods rich in spiritual energy, they can still refine and transform energy to accumulate skills every day in order to break through.But Yunling couldn't, or even though he could, the speed was much slower, but he could directly extract spiritual energy from food and transform it into what he needed.

For these two, even if you eat foods rich in aura every day, part of the aura will be released during the process of absorption and transformation. The difference is that most of the aura will slowly dissipate after eating, but the aura will moisturize the body. , and the other is that after eating, when there is no way to absorb all the aura at one time, it may overflow a little, but the overall aura absorbed is more than ordinary people.

Between the two, if there is no very reasonable calculation formula, no one can tell which one is better, but one thing is certain - even if ordinary people do not have spiritual food tonic, they can still practice, but Yunling But it doesn't work, he has to rely on spiritual food almost all the time, so the cultivation may be faster in the early stage, but it will be more difficult than ordinary people afterwards.

The author has something to say: Yunling (looks melancholy): I may really have to rely on food to practice in the future...

Wei Jingcheng: It’s okay, I’ll hunt for you
