Chapter 149: The Way of the Spiritual Chef
"The chef of the spiritual chef is different from the mortal cook."
Dining room.
Bao Chao stood in front of a chopping board, as if he had become a different person.
He said seriously to Wang Yan.
At this time, Wang Hao no longer put on the airs of a foundation-building monk. In fact, he had no airs at all. He only did this specifically to allow the other party to hand over the skills of the spiritual chef to him.
He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Bao Chao continued:
"Mortal cooks are here to satisfy appetite and taste, but our spiritual chefs try to preserve and stimulate the maximum effect of spiritual food, while eliminating the useless or harmful parts to shorten the life of monks. The time and energy required to take spiritual food can be regarded as a means of auxiliary practice." "
This is also different from alchemy. Alchemy is to reconcile the qi of plants, wood, metal and stone to derive various effects. Although the toxicity will also be considered, but The effect is their highest pursuit."
"This is also the reason why almost all elixirs taken are erysipelas. Not only because of the alien spiritual energy contained in them, but also because when the formulas of many elixirs were first created, they only considered the effect. "Senior, if you have been exposed to alchemy, you should be able to see that many alchemy materials often contain gold, stone and minerals that we cannot absorb."
Wang Hao suddenly understood after hearing this.
He had always thought that those elixirs contained magical herbs and elixirs, but he did not expect that they also contained things like gold and stones.
No wonder there is so-called erysipelas.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Master Bao, I have taken the Blood Magic Pill before, but why didn't I notice the presence of erysipelas in it?" "The Blood Magic Pill? Seniors have also taken it
. This?"
Bao Chao looked at Wang Hao in surprise when he heard this, but then nodded and said: "Senior, that's a good question. The reason is very simple. Although this blood magic pill is said to be a pill, in fact, the formation that condenses the blood magic pill is , using a method similar to that of our spiritual chef!"
"So, it is not so much a pill as it is... the essence of human flesh and blood." "In
fact, it is the same as the essence of the spiritual chicken."
After hearing this Wang Yan suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable after saying this. 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. Most of these monks also had erysipelas in their bodies, right? The blood sacrifice formation refined them, so didn't 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 other things."
At this point, Bao Chao suddenly asked Said: "Speaking of the Blood Sacrifice Formation, does the senior know why this formation appears?"
Wang Hao immediately shook his head, how could he know this.
Bao Chao was not surprised either, and a strange expression appeared on his face:
"Compared with precious and rare spiritual objects, humans, who are the master of all things and have innate spirituality, can be seen everywhere, but they are natural cultivation materials."
"Therefore, eating humans and even raising human beings in captivity was a common practice of many demonic sects in ancient times." After
hearing this, Wang Hao had long been aware of the ferocity of the demonic sect, but he still tolerated it. I 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 disintegrate." "No one can find it
. When I discovered the reason, I found that such symptoms only occur after eating a large number of people." "
Some monks gave up eating people, collected relatively common ordinary spiritual beasts and spiritual rice, and eliminated some of them. The impurities are purified from the flesh, flesh and essence, and refined into spiritual food that is easy to absorb." "
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." "
So, the Blood Sacrifice Formation was born." "
After that, there were actually many changes to the formation, but in the end, it is still the same."
Bao Chao looked at Wang Hao: "Presumably, the seniors have guessed the origin of the spiritual chef, right?"
"Demon monk?"
Wang Hao asked tentatively.
"Exactly! Our lineage of spiritual chefs is actually a method separated from the tradition of ancient demonic monks." "What we
pursue is to plunder the essence of spiritual beasts and even spiritual plants and return it to ourselves!"
Bao Chao's A hint of fanaticism flashed in his 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 judgment standards." "
The higher the grade of the ingredients, the higher the degree of retention of the essence, then this spiritual The skill of the cook will be better."
"Of course, the premise is that no impurities and useless parts remain."
Wang Hao nodded when he heard the words: "Then, where should I start learning now?"
Bao Chao smiled when he heard the words, turned sideways, and exposed He picked up 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 one by one. Clear!"
Looking at the overlapping toads in the bucket, which were covered with tumors and even dripping with poisonous slurry, Wang Yan 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 a body-holding spell 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 Hao resisted the urge to cast spells and said to 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 all the first-level ingredients."
Hearing this.
Wang Hao 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 Yan's little movements, and reminded: "By the way, senior, in order to better grasp the body of the eel tail clam, it is best for you to use your five senses and your spiritual consciousness together and understand it carefully." Wang Yan
: "..."
I will fight for the freedom of the spirit chicken 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.
"Huh——"
A touch of magic power on Wang Hao's finger quietly dissipated.
In front of him, there was a huge wooden table filled with bones and muscles...
and these actually came 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 of this eel-tailed clam are indeed quite complex." "
No wonder Bao Chao said that once he is familiar with this one, most first-order spiritual beasts will not be a problem."
Wang Hao sighed secretly.
Two months of painstaking study with no distractions.
As a foundation-building monk, 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.
The third step...
These are also extremely tedious and long 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 Yan, as a foundation-building monk, has more spiritual awareness than a Qi-refining monk, and can better observe and become familiar with eel-tailed 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 Yan'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 learn the techniques of the Spiritual Chef, stop and concentrate on your practice!"
Wang Hao secretly made a decision 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.
