Tiexian heirs in the city

With a decision in his mind, Master Hangu didn't continue the topic just now, he asked instead: "Why haven't the dishes been served yet? Poor Dao can't wait to see the way of eating."

"Serve!" Gu Zheng said.

The dish has already been prepared, but now there are enemies, so it has not been served from the kitchen. Now that he heard that Gu Zheng was going to serve, Qiao Bai brought out the prepared dish.

This is a very gorgeous dish. The name of the dish is "Four Seas Tour". The main ingredient is the shrimp meat of fine-grade lobster. The fragrant lobster is swimming in the blue soup. Look It also looks very appropriate.

After seeing "Traveling in the Four Seas", Master Hangu's expression has a subtle change, because it takes a little time for the transformation of the fragrance, before the transformation of the fragrance appears, Master Hangu is very concerned about the transformation of the fragrance. There is disdain in my heart for the gorgeous shape of the dish. After all, Dandao Yitu doesn't have these fancy things, it only pays attention to efficacy. However, Master Hangu was shocked when he saw the appearance of the extremely fragrant form, because he understood that the extremely fragrant form was the manifestation of Tao.

There is also the manifestation of Dao in the way of alchemy, which is the pill cloud that appears in the final stage of pill refining, but the pill cloud will only appear when the more powerful pill is about to be released. But the dish in front of me is obviously just a dish. Even if it has the effect of transforming immortal power, it cannot be particularly powerful, but it has the manifestation of the Tao! Then the way of diet and the way of alchemy, who is more in line with the way of heaven, this is already a matter of distinction.

The shock was only for a moment. After all, Master Hangu knew that the way of eating and drinking would rise sooner or later. It is alchemy, although the alternation of ups and downs is part of the reincarnation of heaven, but when you see its running track with your own eyes, it is inevitable to feel a little lost in your heart.

"Why, don't you want to try it?"

Gu Zheng looked at Master Han Gu who had not moved his chopsticks for a long time.

"no need."

Master Hangu gave a faint sound, and turned to look at the store plan on the wall of Jixiang Xiaozhu.

"Pindao has already seen the general food in the extremely fragrant small building, but there are still food cultivation and diet therapy that I don't have experience with. I want to experience it." Master Hangu said.

"Yes! How do you want to know?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Let's get acquainted with food repair first!"

Master Hangu paused, and then poured out a lot of things from the storage bracelet, all of which were medicinal materials.

"The so-called homology of medicine and food, let's pick two parts from these medicinal materials, one you use to cook the food that increases the essence, and the other one is used to cook the elixir that increases the essence, let's see the final What is the effect?" Master Han Gu asked.

"no problem."

Gu Zheng agreed, even though it was a disadvantage. After all, it is true that medicine and food come from the same source, but Master Hangu produced almost all medicinal materials, of which the ingredients that can really be used in cooking are only a very small part, and the way of eating is not like that of Dan Dao , only pay attention to the effect, it also depends on the color and fragrance! Although Venerable Han Gu only said to see the final effect, but if the effect is the same, but the taste and flavor of the food cooked by Ke Guzheng is relatively poor, then this is still an imperfect thing! Gu Zheng didn't want to see this kind of imperfection, but Master Han Gu wanted to see it very much.

"Would you choose first, or the poor one first?" Master Han Gu said humanely.

They are not ordinary people, so there is no need for too many rules, and everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

"You go first!"

There are many resources, what Gu Zheng wants is to target, then let Master Hangu choose first, he will use defense as offense.

"OK!"

Master Hangu didn't talk nonsense, and directly selected twelve kinds of medicinal materials from a large number of resources.

The twelve kinds of medicinal materials selected by Master Hangu, if they are divided according to the grades of ingredients, eight of them are high-grade and four are high-grade. For a large number of resources, the twelve medicinal materials selected by Master Hangu are not excellent in grade at least. If he wants to be excellent, he can choose the best grade of twelve medicinal materials. of! But in other words, everyone is also a sensible person, if Master Hangu picks out all the twelve best medicinal materials, then he is already inferior, even if the elixir finally refined is very effective, It's not something to be proud of either.

Master Han Gu made a selection, and Gu Zheng also quickly made a selection. The resources he selected were also twelve, of which four were food ingredients, and the other eight were medicinal materials. In terms of the grade of ingredients, among the twelve resources selected by Gu Zheng, three are of excellent grade, the other six are of medium grade, and three are of ordinary grade.

The elders of the three sects frowned slightly. Gu Zheng would choose lower-grade resources, which was somewhat beyond their expectations. However, after thinking about it, they suddenly realized that although the final efficacy of the medicine is a comparison, the level of resources is also a comparison.

"Since Fellow Daoist has selected the right item, how about we compete here?"

Regarding the resources selected by Gu Zheng, Master Hangu didn't say much. Gu Zheng had the idea of ​​targeting, and he was fully aware of it. The efficacy of the medicine speaks for itself.

"Can."

Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the tables and chairs in the front hall immediately flew aside, making enough space for the two to discuss.

There is a complete set of kitchen utensils in the storage bracelet, and Gu Zheng took it out.

There were things like pill stoves in Master Hangu's storage bracelet, and he quickly released these things.

"let's start?"

Gu Zheng looked at Master Hangu, once Master Hangu agreed to start, then the discussion will start from all aspects, and the first thing to bear the brunt is time.

"let's start!"

After Master Hangu responded, he bent his fingers and pointed at the alchemy furnace to pop out a ray of real fire of life.

A small ray of natal true fire fell into the alchemy furnace and immediately turned into a raging flame. Master Hangu raised his hand and threw a piece of herbal medicine into it.

Alchemy is also a very miraculous thing. The herbs thrown into the alchemy furnace by Master Hangu looked like they would be ignited when exposed to fire. Curl under the grill.

The curling of herbal medicine is a refining process. Master Hangu uses the true fire of natal life to carry out a process of removing the chaff and preserving the essence of the herbal medicine.

Master Hangu is refining herbal medicines, and Gu Zheng has already started the preliminary processing of ingredients. This process looks like choosing vegetables on the surface, but in fact, Gu Zheng uses wood control and water control techniques Force together some of the resources that are not conducive to food repair cooking, and then discard that part.

At this moment, the people of the three sects are not too nervous. The way of eating and drinking is more miraculous than that of alchemy. This is something they have already determined. They think that the ancient struggle can win the final victory. However, Qiao Bai and Xiong San on the side were somewhat worried.

Both Xiong San and Qiao Bai knew that Gu Zheng had high attainments in the way of eating and drinking, but that was a thing of the past, and now his real level in the way of eating and drinking is only between a senior fairy chef and a super fairy chef. The existence of the world, and Master Hangu is a real super alchemist!

However, although they were worried, the worries in Qiao Bai and Xiong San's hearts were not so strong. They both had confidence in Gu Zheng, and could even be said to be absolute worship. They believed that since Gu Zheng dared to compete with Master Hangu, then There must be a certainty of victory. It's just that this process may be a bit too depressing in the eyes of onlookers like them.

In fact, Gu Zheng is not as sure as Qiao Bai and Xiong San think whether he can win Master Hangu. After all, he has not yet opened the Eye of Dao, not to mention the Heart of Dao. He can only rely on experience and his understanding of the selected resources to compete with Master Hangu! It is precisely because the hard conditions are not enough that Gu Zheng chooses these ingredients and medicinal materials with relatively low resource grades, because Gu Zheng is familiar with them, even if he does not have the eyes of Tao and the heart of Tao, there will be no accidents when cooking them. And the effect that can be produced in the end will not be bad.

A elixir refined from high-grade resources must be very powerful. In the hands of someone like Master Han Gu, this is something that cannot go wrong. Such a elixir must be more effective than the middle-grade Zengyuan food repair cooked by Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng's middle-grade Zengyuan food repair is cooked with lower-grade resources. It's a comeback.

Although Master Hangu said beforehand that the comparison is about the effect, the resource levels are not equal. This is also a reason that cannot be ignored! And the final result reached this step, which is already a satisfactory ending for Gu Zheng. As for who is strong and who is weak, I leave it to outsiders to decide. Anyway, for this kind of discussion, Gu Zheng doesn't care about the result like Master Hangu .

In fact, Gu Zheng also knew that Venerable Hangu also didn't care about winning in the efficacy of the medicine and losing in the level of resources. He just wanted to get back some face and see something clearly through this matter. After all, Venerable Han Gu also knows that the Dao of Food and Drink is a matter of days, and it is inevitable that it will defeat the Dao of Alchemy in many aspects.

Six of the twelve pieces of medicinal materials selected by Master Hangu have been processed, and these six medicinal materials processed by him have been turned into medicinal powders, waiting for the next congealing pill.

At this moment, the twelve ingredients selected by Gu Zheng have all gone through the initial "vegetable selection" step, and he put three of them into the cage that need to be steamed, and the other two that need to be stewed. , put it in a clay pot and stewed it.

The Fire Control Art and the Water Control Art are performed at the same time, and Gu Zheng processes the two ingredients with different properties before the final cooking.

No matter what Gu Zheng did, or what Master Hangu did, they are all processing of resources, and they are all preparing for the step of 'integration', but the difference is that Gu Zheng In the process of doing things, the smell of food and medicine has already been released, while the things done by Master Hangu have no smell at all.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the progress of the Dao of Diet is slower than that of the Dao of Alchemy. For the same twelve pieces of resources, Master Hangu has already completed the processing of them first, and he has put the twelve points of medicinal powder back into the alchemy furnace. , began a very important step in the process of alchemy, condensing alchemy.

Congealing alchemy is a relatively powerful step in the process of alchemy. In this process, the alchemist needs to temper the fused medicinal powder while dispatching the energy of heaven and earth to act on the medicinal powder. In this step, the energy of heaven and earth The role it plays is somewhat like the water in the cooking process, which can neutralize and prepare the medicinal powder.

Under Master Hangu's condensing, the medicinal powders that were originally of different colors gradually merged into one, turning into a rough pill, and the slight fragrance of pill overflowed the pill furnace as the pill rotated. The continuous injection of energy from the heavens and the earth forms an egg-shaped water curtain in the pill furnace, which wraps the pill embryo, and the naked eye can see that there are many light connections between them like raindrops.

With the passage of time, the rough red embryos began to become rounded, and the originally heterogeneous colors became uniform.

At this moment, Gu Zheng finally processed all twelve ingredients, and he started to heat up the oil.

The Zengyuan Shixiu cooked by Guzheng this time is different from the conventional stewing, and is fried instead.

Stir-frying is a fast cooking method, and it is more suitable for the ingredients that Gu Zheng chose this time.

As the aroma of oil rises, Gu Zheng first pours the three cut herbs into the pot.

Accompanied by the sound of "Zi Zi la la", Gu Zheng quickly moved the pot, and a strange smell began to permeate in the extremely fragrant small building. This smell is the smell of frying medicinal materials with oil. The scent is mixed with oily, slightly pungent special medicinal scent.

Without the Eye of Dao, all Gu Zheng could rely on was his understanding of the medicinal materials in the pot. When he felt that the three medicinal materials were almost cooked, he put some of the remaining resources into the pot. , These resources contain food and medicinal materials.

At this moment, the fire is rising in the pot, this is a normal phenomenon caused by the newly added blind medicinal material, and it is also a key step to determine the efficacy of this method of increasing vitality food cultivation, whether it is high or low.

The Fire Control Jue controls the temperature at the best level, and the Water Control Jue also adjusts the moisture in the food reasonably. Gu Zheng is still so smooth in this crucial step of cooking to increase the vitality and food cultivation.

The fragrance that disappeared due to the fire in the pot finally rose again when the flame was extinguished.

At this moment, although the aroma of the food in the pot is still dominated by the aroma of medicine, this aroma is no longer pungent, and it smells a little pleasant, making people feel like they want to quickly inflame the nose.

Master Hangu is still congealing alchemy, which is a time-consuming process on the way of alchemy. The elixir he refined this time is called "Juyuan Dan". He is also very proficient in the elixir of the furnace.

Due to his proficiency, the process of alchemy does not require Master Hangu's special concentration, so it can be said that he did not miss a single moment of Gu Zheng's cooking process.

When the fire broke out in the Guzheng pot, Master Hangu's mood was a bit complicated. He understood that the fire was a very important step for the cultivation of food in the pot. If this step is handled well, it will be worth watching later. If the handling is not good, the result afterwards is predictable. On the one hand, he hopes that Gu Zheng can handle it well, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Gu Zheng will make some mistakes. His mood is really complicated.

Although he doesn't know how to eat, but as the saying goes, the way is connected, smelling the smell that becomes better after the fire is extinguished, and seeing the oily ingredients in the pot are still so bright, Master Hangu understands that Gu Zheng is very good A critical step has been dealt with.

"Now he only has three kinds of resources that have not been put into the pot. After he puts those three resources into the pot, it is estimated that the pot will be ready after a while. Just judging from the time-consuming of the whole process, Dan Dao It's already inferior! After all, even if I am familiar with the refining of 'Juyuan Pill', if it wants to make pills, it still needs to go through the process of Danyun!" Master Hangu said.

"Zizi la la!"

There was another sound from the pot, and the last three resources were also poured into the pot by Gu Zheng.

At the same time, the color of the elixir dripping and spinning in the elixir furnace also changed from dark yellow to vermilion. The egg-shaped water curtain that originally wrapped the elixir also changed at this moment, and it automatically turned into a cloud. It looks like it is suspended above the elixir. This is the pill cloud before the elixir will become, and it is also the manifestation of the Tao on the way to the alchemy.

Strands of shiny silk threads descended from the pill cloud like electric glows, landed on the elixir and were absorbed by the elixir, and the elixir fragrance in the elixir furnace became more intense as a result. However, the strong dan fragrance is overwhelmed by another fragrance, which comes from Shixiu.

At this moment, the pot has been covered with a lid, even if Master Hangu wanted to see through the lid to see the situation of the food cultivator in the pot, it was already impossible. Because, all Master Hangu could see was the thick white mist condensed in the pot.

"The manifestation of Tao!"

Master Hangu murmured in his heart.

Originally, Master Hangu thought that after adding the last three kinds of resources into the pot, it would take a while to stir fry. But he didn't expect that after the last three resources were put into the pot, Gu Zheng just tossed them a few times before putting the lid on the pot. And after Gu Zheng put the lid on the pot, it took less than two minutes for Gu Zheng to pick up the plate again, apparently to get Shi Xiu out of the pot.

Indeed, Gu Zheng is going to put the food repair out of the pot now, because the last three resources don't need to be cooked for a long time.

The cooked food has been put on a plate, and the plate has been covered with a lid, but the aroma when it was put on the plate still made Master Hangu couldn't help but sniff! This is really a terrible thing for Master Hangu. He didn't know before that there is a fragrance in this world that he can't help sniffing.

However, Master Hangu was not shocked by the smell of food cultivation, what he pursued was alchemy after all, so except for the final effect, other things can be said to be fleeting in his eyes.

Gu Zheng's food cultivation has been completed, and sitting on the side, he began to sip tea and wait for Master Hangu. Starting from processing the ingredients, it took Gu Zheng less than a stick of incense to cook this dish of food cultivation.

On Master Hangu's side, Pill Clouds have already appeared, which indicates that the refining of the elixir has also come to an end.

In the end, Gu Zheng didn't finish his cup of tea, and the 'Juyuan Pill' refined by Master Hangu was released.
