Li Changle sang just two lines when he was interrupted by Baili Qingshi.
"What are you screaming about?"
"Huh? Doesn't this disciple's singing voice sound good?"
"The singing is good, but the lyrics are a bit weird."
Li Changle smiled proudly: "As long as the lyrics speak directly to your heart, it's really good if you sing well."
With his versatile ability, he knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to poetry and song.
Singing is no problem.
Baili Qingshi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's right."
She turned around and left: "We, master and disciple, don't have to drink in the wind here. It's time to go eat."
"Okay, disciple, do it."
Baili Qingshi paused: "How about cooking for the master today?"
"ah?"
"Why, aren't you happy?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, but...Master, can you cook?"
Baili Qingshi said seriously: "As a teacher, you are not born knowing how to use a sword. Isn't everything learned?"
"That's true..."
"Teach me."
Li Changle looked at Baili Qingshi's figure, and his heart moved slightly.
He knew that his master Baili Qingshi was also happy for him, knowing that he had solved the knot in his heart.
However, can this master, who is indifferent to worldly affairs and so naive and stubborn, really learn to cook?
Li Changle followed Baili Qingshi to the kitchen in Taibai Palace.
This was rebuilt by Li Changle out of an empty room. It has firewood for the stove, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, vegetables and fruits, chicken, duck and fish.
All kitchen utensils are available, and most of them are modified spiritual weapons and magic weapons from Taibai Peak.
Although it is a dilapidated version, such a luxurious and luxurious kitchen is probably unparalleled in the world.
The two looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, Baili Qingshi said: "What are we waiting for?"
Li Changle scratched his head and said, "Master, I'm waiting for you to speak."
"……let's start."
"Okay, first step, let's make a fire first. The firewood piled up in the kitchen is all bought from Neimen Shiqifeng. It is flammable and long-lasting. It can be ignited without the need for kindling, so now we..."
Before she finished speaking, Baili Qingshi gently rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hand a little, and a dragon of flame roared out.
"Don't!"
Li Changle had no time to stop it. In the next moment, the entire stove exploded, flames shot up into the sky, and all the firewood was immediately burned, leaving not even the dregs left.
Baili Qingshi: "Huh?"
Li Changle: "..."
"Master, this is cooking, not killing enemies. Those firewood have no grudge against you..."
Baili Qingshi also reflected quickly.
"That's right. There should be no need to use Nanmingli Fire to make fire for cooking."
Li Changle: "???"
Baili Qingshi looked at him: "Changle, what do you think of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire? What about the Red Lotus Karma Fire?"
"...No need!"
Li Changle cleaned up the stove, picked up another pile of firewood and put it inside.
"We don't need Nanming Lihuo this time, nor can we use Jiutian Xuanhuo, let alone Red Lotus Karmic Fire."
He stretched out his left and right hands: "This one is called Huo Yan, and this one is called Huo Zhezi. You can try them both."
Baili Qingshi said: "Do people who cultivate immortality still use such common things?"
Li Changle: "...Spiritual fire can certainly be used, but the problem is that firewood is just a mortal thing and cannot withstand it!"
"That's true."
Baili Qingshi took out the Huozhezi from Li Changle's right hand and waited silently.
Li Changle: "...Blow."
"What are you blowing?"
"...Master, the fire stick in your hand can burn if you blow it."
"I see."
Baili Qingshi then blew lightly, and the flames immediately rose.
The firelight illuminated her face, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"There is something mysterious about this mortal thing."
"This is not mysterious, the principle is very simple..."
Baili Qingshi ignored it, put the firewood into the firewood, and finally ignited it.
"what's next?"
The flames crackled, and Baili Qingshi looked at Li Changle, waiting for the next instruction.
"Wash the pot and boil the water."
Li Changle pointed in the direction of the ding.
Baili Qingshi frowned slightly: "The Blue Dragon Cauldron and the Vermilion Bird Wok, I miss them a bit..."
She followed Li Changle's instructions, picked up a brush, dipped it in water and started scrubbing.
Li Changle couldn't help but admire: "As expected of the master, the gesture of washing the pots has a hint of swordsmanship."
Baili Qingshi said: "You really have good eyesight. What I use as my master is the Eight Directions Wind and Rain Style in the Taibai Sword Canon."
"...No need!"
"Also, master, please be gentle!"
"The Azure Dragon Cauldron and the Vermilion Bird Wok can't withstand your full strength, Master!"
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. Baili Qingshi cleaned the pot, poured more than half of the pot of water, and put it on the stove fire.
"Next, let's deal with the chicken, duck and fish."
Li Changle opened the homemade "Xuanbing Box", took out the frozen chicken, duck and fish meat inside, and handed it to Baili Qingshi.
"Master can handle whatever he wants to eat."
Baili Qingshi hesitated for a moment and took out two hard frozen fish.
"Is this okay?"
"…Of course, of course."
"We need to remove the scales first. The method is..."
Baili Qingshi waved her sleeves, and one of the frozen fishes instantly fell apart and turned into pieces.
"Master, this is to remove the scales, not to dismember the body..."
"oh."
Finally, under Li Changle's guidance, the scales were removed, and the fins and tail were cut off. Except for the internal organs, the fish was ready.
Then, when Li Changle's mouth was dry, Baili Qingshi was in a hurry, and the kitchen was facing a disaster, it was difficult to proceed step by step.
Teacher Baili Qingshi made Li Changle even more nervous than when he faced those weird and evil spirits.
When it was finally done, luckily only a small part of the kitchen was destroyed, so it was considered quite a success.
Baili Qingshi brought four dishes and one soup, which she had cooked for the first time, to the table.
Li Changle took out the fine wine he had collected again.
The master and apprentice finally sat across from each other.
Baili Qingshi looked at her results. Although her face was still calm, her eyes showed a bit of pride. She even looked at Li Changle, looking forward to his comments.
Li Changle felt uneasy. Generally, this kind of plot is either very unpalatable or very delicious. In any case, it is very extreme...
He carefully picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it into his mouth shakily, and took a cautious bite.
"Um?"
Baili Qingshi immediately asked: "How does it taste?"
Li Changle nodded and said: "I can't find any faults... Although it is not very delicious, it is quite satisfactory. This is the first time you can do it to this extent. Master, you are indeed a real genius!"
Baili Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? It seems that besides swordsmanship, my master has other extraordinary talents after all."
"Of course, it's Changle who teaches you well."
Li Changle couldn't help but smile proudly: "This is what is called teaching and learning. In terms of cultivation, master, you are the master, and in terms of cooking, the disciple is the master's master. I wonder if the master can call the disciple master?"
Baili Qingshi paused slightly with the chopsticks in her hand.
Li Changle immediately said: "...I'm just kidding!"
Baili Qingshi then put the piece of fish meat into her mouth, chewed it gently, and couldn't help but smile.
"As expected of a teacher."
Li Changle filled the wine glasses for the master and apprentice: "Come, celebrate the success of master's first cooking experience, cheers!"
Baili Qingshi picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Li Changle.
"Congratulations to Chang Le, your long-cherished wish has come true. From now on, you can have no worries and keep moving forward in your practice."
Li Changle's heart moved. Looking at Baili Qingshi's serious and sincere expression, he nodded and drank it all in one gulp.
That night, the master and apprentice had a feast, drank freely, and returned home drunk (referring to Li Changle).
