As the earthen figurines cook, the aroma of food wafts into the starry night space.
The casserole in front of Henghua shone with golden light, and inside was a clear and bright amber soup.
"Xuanyue soup, it's an appetizer."
Henghua pointed his finger, ripples rippled on the surface of the soup, and then lotus flowers bloomed.
Flowers bloom and fall, and the lotus flowers serve as serving bowls to deliver the soup to the twenty-four star gates.
Cang Lanzi moved her index finger when she smelled the aroma.
But before he could take the "Lotus Soup", he saw golden liquid thrown out from behind a star gate.
Paji——
The liquid touched the ground and continued to twist and squirm. Two soft and curved hands like noodles were constantly tinkering in the liquid.
First, pull out a big ball, and then shape it into the shape of a head. Then the unformed "golden man" kneaded the liquid into its body and finally its feet.
When the little golden man took shape, he jumped up, grabbed the soup in front of the star gate, and drank it in one gulp.
"Golden Idol test medicine?"
Cang Lanzi saw the other party's movements and understood his intentions.
Who knows if there is anything wrong with the soup that Fu Henghua brought out, so be careful.
Although Cang Lanzi didn't think Fu Henghua dared to poison him, nor did he think he could cause any harm to the Tribulation Immortal. But a Tribulation Immortal was the first to do this. If he didn't follow and drank the soup directly, he would seem a little stupid in the eyes of outsiders?
In order to join the group, he saw several Tribulation Immortals using the "Puppet Technique" to make experimental puppets to replace themselves. Cang Lanzi also gathered a puppet made of water in front of the star gate.
The water puppet holds up the lotus flower in front of it and slowly tastes the hot soup at the heart of the lotus.
"Soft, clear...suitable as the first soup for a banquet."
Cang Lanzi was very satisfied with this dish.
The owner of Tongtian Tower sipped soup with a jade puppet and carefully observed the earthen figurines beside the stove.
"Food Immortal, very interesting exercise."
Practicing exercises can be divided into movements and stillness.
Those who move, practice the sword and play the piano, and guide the movement of the true energy between movements.
The quiet one, meditates on sleep. There is no need to move the body for a long time to allow the true energy to flow.
Fu Henghua likes to do silent exercises. When he sits and reads or lies down to sleep, his skills can increase little by little.
And what he is now guided by the lineage of Food Immortals is to use "cooking and cooking" as his qigong.
"You can't expect monks to meditate in addition to making spiritual meals, right? That's time-consuming and puts in more effort than ordinary monks. What's the point? Just like the alchemy of an alchemist, let the Food Immortal improve his cultivation through cooking. , this is the right way.”
"Hmph - benchmarking against an alchemist? Arrogant."
Behind a star gate, there was a burst of contempt.
While making alchemy, the alchemist can use the alchemy furnace to reconcile the civil and military fire and the roots of yin and yang, which can absorb the alchemy energy and increase the skill. Alchemy is essentially the practice of an alchemist.
Henghua didn't take it seriously, and then controlled the earthen figurines to make the second dish.
He fabricated his vitality, and the dish he made this time was exactly the "five soup stew" that the Tribulation Immortals were targeting.
The energy of the five elements flows into the casserole and is transformed into seasonal vegetables, meat and eggs.
Wu Huaiping sat behind the star gate and kept writing on Yugui with his fingers. Every movement of the earthen figurines was interpreted by him as innate red inscriptions, forming a "five soup stew" in the form of a mantra.
Why stir-fry, why cook?
Prepare the ingredients and recite the mantra. Red text circulates the power of heaven and earth and automatically generates "five soup stews".
After analyzing it, Wu Huaiping nodded secretly.
This spell is an alternative use of the power of the five elements, and it is indeed consistent with the lineage of the Food Immortal.
When the five soup stew was ready, Fu Henghua pointed at the casserole again. Twenty-four lotus leaves emerged from the casserole, and the dishes were delivered to the star gate.
Golden puppets, jade puppets, water puppets, and wooden puppets all picked up the dishes and observed them carefully.
"Let me state it first. I have analyzed your 'five soup stew'. Everything belonging to the five elements can be used as ingredients for cooking. This is very bad. Even if your dish tastes great, I am not Someone will never show mercy to you just because of how good your food is."
Laughter came from behind a star gate: "Fellow Taoist, who do you mean? Canglan, he is scolding you."
"..."
Cang Lanzi remained silent and looked at the colorful dishes on the lotus leaf through the water puppet's perspective.
Suddenly, he said: "You make the 'Five Soup Chowder' again. This time, use the 'Eating Immortal Self-cultivation' method. You should have some ideas in this regard, right?"
Henghua suddenly laughed: "Senior is worthy of being called the 'gourmet master'."
Henghua drives the earth puppet again.
This time, instead of mobilizing vitality from the surroundings, he used his own spiritual power sealed in the earthen figurines to perform "five soup blends".
Use your own mana as food.
When the five soup stews are finished, half of the spiritual power of the earthen figurines has disappeared.
Without Cang Lanzi's instructions, Fu Henghua directed the earthen figurines to eat the "five soup stews".
After eating the five soup stews, the spiritual power in the earthen figurines was restored and became purer.
Cang Lanzi laughed loudly: "It is indeed true. Five soup soups are not only a spiritual meal for others, but also a key recipe for the Food Immortal's own practice to purify his magic power."
The Immortal Food monks increase their magic power by constantly cooking. However, such an increase in mana is affected by many ingredients and recipes, and is extremely complicated.
At this time, the monks need to extract their own magic power and use it as "ingredients" for cooking.
Blend the five flavors and five elements, turn it into a decoction, and then drink it by yourself to purify the magic power.
Cang Lanzi pointed out the mystery of the "five soup stew", and Meng Chen suddenly realized: "Isn't this method the spirit brewer's longevity wine? The spirit diagram used by the spirit brewer to break through the realm is also the same thing."
"It can be understood this way. Soup? What is soup? Soup and soup are one. How are the medical decoctions similar to soup? The name of this dish is 'Soup', perhaps alluding to: This spiritual meal is Food Immortal self-cultivation, and a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of immortality?"
Cang Lanzi directed the water puppet to finish the "five soup stews" in front of him.
Through spiritual resonance, he tasted the wonderful taste of five soup soups.
"Okay, very good. Made with vitality, there are five kinds of meat flavors: fish, dog, goose, snake, and deer, as well as eighteen kinds of vegetables such as purple sunflower and white vermilion. Very good, you have started to master the art of creating things with Qi. ”
Cang Lanzi is a great master in this field, and he feels gratified to see his younger generation have such attainments.
"This junior has read "Canglan Travels" before, and these tips are all obtained from the guidance of senior Canglanzi."
Henghua's humble words made Canglanzi laugh even more.
"Everyone, I think there is no problem with the 'Five Soup Stew'. It is a good strategy to supplement the shortcomings of the Food Immortal lineage, so that the Food Immortal lineage can truly enter the path of immortality and purify itself."
"A good strategy? A good strategy for eating people? This guy uses his own magic power as food. Doesn't that mean that human beings can be used as food?"
This possibility alone is enough to touch the sensitive nerves of many people.
Today's group of Tribulation Immortals have to personally destroy those comrades who have different ideas and use people for experiments and food.
Why is the trend of figurines so popular and has become the mainstream of the orthodox path in today’s world of cultivation?
Because today's group of Tribulation Immortals are all opponents of "human life is devalued and can be consumed at will".
However, treating human life as a low value and using people for their talents is an evil way and practice in the perception of immortality.
"Speaking of which, I remember that Fu Yuandao's technique can absorb other people's skills for his own use?" A Tribulation Immortal suddenly asked.
Cang Lanzi's heart suddenly trembled.
Yan Chongxing?
Oops, there's trouble.
Using living people as tools for experimenting with techniques is a thorn in the side of these Tribulation Immortals. There were two Tribulation Immortals present, mortals with spiritual roots captured by monks in ancient times. The meaning of their existence is to serve as test subjects for monks' exercises. They watched as hundreds of test subject companions were reduced one after another. Even if a few succeed in cultivation, they will be used by monks to absorb their skills and turn them into medicine dregs.
Yan Chongxing is one of them. Fortunately, he survived, and was later rescued by an expert from the Purple Emperor Pavilion. He killed the monk who wantonly experimented on mortals with spiritual roots, and then he was able to worship in the Purple Emperor Pavilion and become a Tribulation Immortal.
Meng Chen immediately spoke up and said: "How many masters in the acting field don't know how to marry? If you hate this, first target the group of elders who teach martial arts in your sect!"
"Two hundred years ago, we signed a promise to come to the east. Those who pass down the martial arts and the wedding dress technique in the sect and family can only use it in their own family. They are not allowed to randomly refine and absorb the skills of other unrelated monks."
And this rule?
Fu Henghua looked confused.
When did it happen? If you have a ban, should you announce it directly? Hiding it, who knows?
"So, you see Fu Henghua acting recklessly and absorbing other people's skills for his own use? He is in the Fu family. Because he is young, he cannot do the work of teaching skills. It is the responsibility of other Fu family members." On the right side. A cold voice came from behind a star gate.
"But he will absorb the power transfer technique indiscriminately." Yan Zhongxing said.
"So what? Are you going to destroy his skills? Don't forget, the prohibition on our communication was not made public to the public at that time, and he didn't know it at all."
We also didn't expect that a monk who was not into the golden elixir would be able to understand the heavenly book on his own, and then create a power transfer technique that could absorb all the attributes of the true essence indiscriminately?
Yan Chongxing felt a little depressed.
Back then, the Tribulation Immortals signed the ban and gave orders to their subordinates after returning. Most of the monks in the three major waters knew this prohibition. But as the Yanlong family, the Fu family has always been ignored by the three major waters, so naturally they will not pay special attention to the situation there.
Although the Fu family knew about this ban, they didn't take it seriously.
They never imagined that Fu Henghua could create his own heavenly book?
Yan Zhongxing: "I'm kindly reminding you. In the future, Fu Yuandao, you must restrict yourself. When killing monks, you can kill them directly, but you cannot absorb other people's skills for your own use. Of course, when you fought with Yu Xiaolei last time, It's an exception. It's normal to spar and absorb some of the energy that escapes from the battle. It doesn't hurt. As long as it doesn't take away the mana from Yu Xiaolei's body.
Furthermore, acting as a master and imparting kung fu is a business. It's just that ordinary magicians can only absorb the same type of true energy, but you can absorb it fully. According to the rules of acting, every transaction must be conducted on a clear path. Just let Donglai Jinbang witness it. "
After Yan Chongxing finished speaking, he turned to the Food Immortal again.
"I've seen a lot of Immortal Food magic. There were some roasted chickens, and the meat-cutting spell was very strange. There seemed to be traces of magic spells?"
Xiaoyu and Hengshou immediately became nervous.
Henghua, on the other hand, looked calm: "The roads lead to the same destination through different paths, maybe there are some similarities?"
"The similarities are too much."
The speaker is a female Tribulation Immortal.
There were very few female Tribulation Immortals in the East. As soon as Fu Henghua thought about it, he could guess who the person with the direct tone was.
"Senior, do you have any advice?"
"I can't speak of advice. I'm just curious. If your weird immortal-eating spells are studied by others, will they be able to re-translate or comprehend many of the magic secrets?"
"..."
Henghua was speechless.
But soon, he responded.
"There is no way to prohibit the practice of evil demons, and the evil desires of people's hearts will never be extinguished, so the evil demons and heretics are there. If the seniors are worried that the Taoism of the Immortal Family will be learned by the enemy, or that they will fall into heretics after being studied by others, it is better to ban all the Taoism in the world. After all, Evil cultivators come from the immortal way, and if you are worried about being used by bad people to do evil, then every one of your immortal skills will be guilty."
"Yes, how can you come from here to study the taboos of martial arts? Fellow Taoist, don't be too harsh on the younger generations."
Everyone among the Tribulation Immortals knows about the conflict between Qin Lin and the Three Heroes.
At that time, it was the Tribulation Immortals who considered the Three Heroes to guide Donglai to a positive atmosphere, thus ensuring that they could resolve past grievances.
"Of course, spells need to be restricted. Not making any precautions is not the original intention of us to set up taboos. How about adding a special line to the spiritual meal spell like roast chicken to prohibit people from cultivating food? It's nothing more than a spell. Add a prohibition to the magic formula. I can operate it and then translate it into the cooking method of the Food Immortal." Wu Huaiping reported to himself that he was brave.
After hearing this, many Tribulation Immortals nodded secretly.
It is indeed a bit excessive to completely ban "five soup soup". And if this Taoism is banned, Fu Henghua can create others in the future.
In the final analysis, it is a problem with the cultivation system of Immortal Food.
But this system has already had a great influence in Baijiang. Comprehensive suppression will lead to many negative impacts.
Don't say anything else. Eating immortal food is prohibited. Should Cang Lanzi’s private research be banned? Is it forbidden for the monks of the three major water bodies to make snacks rich in spiritual energy in their spare time?
Rather than a total ban, it would be better to add some restrictions.
"There is no need to restrict spells. Why is it so troublesome? Just tell the monks of the Food Immortal Dao to swear to the East Lai Jinbang after entering the Tao. You are not allowed to use other monks besides yourself as food in this life. This prohibits everything from the source."
The Tribulation Immortals spoke out and discussed the matter one after another, and soon a conclusion was reached.
All monks of the Food Immortal lineage must take an oath to observe the precepts after becoming a Taoist.
The plans given by the Tribulation Immortals were all right for Fu Henghua.
Anyway, he himself is not a Food Immortal, so it doesn't matter.
"If you do this, the Immortal Food Taoist can be considered a precept-abiding sect? Fellow Taoist Xuan Ling, won't you be a little happy?"
"What's there to be happy about? I'm just a vegetarian."
"The Immortal Food Tao also has a faction that specializes in fasting. Fellow Taoists can go and communicate with each other later. Prepare more spiritual meals for your disciples. After all, spiritual meals are more useful than elixirs in some cases."
Just as Meng Chen finished speaking, cold snorts came from behind several star gates.
The rise of the Food Immortal Way and the changes in Bai Xuan's cultivation world have made many people in the three major waters feel dissatisfied and even threatened.
The original intention of letting Meng Chen go was to suppress him. But in the end, Meng Chen only added fuel to the fire. Is it possible that he really intends to make Bai Yan's cultivation world independent?
"That's all, that's the deal this time. There's no harm in imposing some restrictions on Five Soup Potatoes and Immortal Food. At least 'no cannibalism'."
The owner of Tongtian Building had made the final decision and was about to let Fu Henghua leave. Instead, Fu Henghua said, "Seniors and juniors, there are still some things that I would like you to taste."
As he spoke, he asked the earthen figurines to make the third dish.
When the strong fragrance wafted in the starry sky, Cang Lanzi became curious.
"Okay, you can bring out any dishes you have. I'll taste them."
Several Tribulation Immortals behind the Star Gate rolled their eyes.
Come on, not everyone likes to "eat".
With this time, I plan to go back to study calligraphy and painting/Taoism/chess...
But soon, Fu Henghua was making other clay figurines alongside the cooking clay figurines.
There is a clay figurine playing the piano, and beside him is a figurine dancing and playing music.
"Le Dao and Dance Dao? Are they also exercises?"
The Tribulation Immortals saw that these two puppets also had spiritual power running inside their bodies. As music is played and danced, spiritual power becomes more active.
At this time, the third dish came.
"The name of the dish is the Eight Treasures Ruyi, which can increase luck and accumulate blessings and resolve curses."
Seeing the eight colors of seasonal vegetables neatly arranged in a ring, the curiosity of the Tribulation Immortals was completely aroused.
A dish that brings good fortune and prays for good luck?
Meng Chen asked hurriedly: "Have you reached this point in your research on the Tao of Immortal Food? How many kinds of vegetables are there that can increase luck?"
Coming to the alchemy path from the east, there are only a handful of elixirs with similar functions.
"Only one."
Meng Chen was a little disappointed.
But then, Fu Henghua added: "This dish can be regarded as some kind of blessing ceremony. If cooking is regarded as praying to heaven and earth, then the final spiritual meal is a tribute. It is not often said that after the offering, The tribute needs to be brought down and distributed to the younger generations? Because it is contaminated with blessings? This is the idea. Therefore, in theory, this kind of tribute that is blessed by heaven and earth does not conflict with other luck-enhancing charms and pill formations."
Can be used in combination.
After hearing this, all the Tribulation Immortals loosened the restrictions on the Immortal Food Tao in their hearts.
Being able to increase luck shows that this practice system has some uses.
"It's not just food. I think your music and dance also seem to have the effect of increasing luck and eliminating disasters?"
Duan Sijing was behind the star gate and couldn't help but speak.
"Senior, you have a good eye. Dance is the meaning of sacrifice. Dancing with your hands is to appease the gods in the sky. Putting your feet on the earth is to suppress the evil spirits underground. Music, the symbol of ritual music and the embodiment of order, naturally also eliminates heretics. usage. Especially the combination of the two..."
The two earthen figurines played music and danced, and there was a hint of good fortune blessing Fu Henghua.
Although it is very weak, it can only increase the probability by one ten thousandth. But to the Tribulation Immortals, this is already extremely precious.
"But it's not easy for spiritual musicians and spiritual dancers like you to achieve enlightenment, right?"
"It's just a new way out for mortals. Isn't it good to let the dancers have other directions? It won't affect the major sects today, right?"
To form a complete system of fighting with dance and music requires at least the efforts of several generations of relevant monks. Anyway, Fu Henghua just clears the way, and the subsequent completion has nothing to do with him.
Duan Sijing estimated that it would be a thousand years before the Lingwu lineage could truly have a complete inheritance. Indeed, it will not affect the current cultivation system. Just a supplement? Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, which is not harmful to our Sijinglou lineage.
"Spiritual dance is difficult to study, and you may not be able to achieve Taoism in a hundred years. Moreover, if you focus on practicing dance, the effect is not as good as breathing in and refining qi. Practicing honestly according to the current Taoism. Focusing on physical training is a kind of martial arts, and it has an effect on the spirit and god. Not big. Cultivation of one's life but not one's nature is too biased."
"So, there aren't spiritual meals made by spiritual chefs? They make spiritual meals. In addition to eating them themselves for practicing, they sell the excess. Spiritual dancers can eat spiritual food, and spiritual figure teachers can eat spiritual food to replenish their physical strength."
"It's a good idea to use the Food Immortal to provide logistical support for other professions so that other professions can develop smoothly. Daqing, you have long thought about implementing a complete spiritual profession system in Baixuan? Come on, let's talk about it. Listen, how many kinds of spiritual duties have you conceived over the years? Spiritual music, spiritual dance, spiritual meals, spiritual pictures, spiritual buildings, spiritual plants... everything else, put it on display. By the way, make a few more cooking clay figurines. , get some more spiritual food for us to change our taste. I haven’t eaten fireworks food in the world for hundreds of years.”
