An ancient book lay quietly on the stone table.
Senior Brother Hu rubbed the pages of the book, full of nostalgia and reluctance.
This makes Shen Qinglan neither take it nor take it.
Just now, Senior Brother Hu said that he would give this cookbook to her, but it was as if he was giving her his own son.
It's just a recipe. She didn't know how many of them she had seen in her previous life.
"My family has been the royal chef in the palace for several generations."
"Senior Brother Hu is from the common world?"
Senior Brother Hu nodded and pushed the ancient book in the direction of Shen Qinglan, "It's been more than a hundred years. I never thought it would be more than a hundred years since I left home."
Shen Qinglan didn't speak anymore. It seemed that Brother Hu was ready to tell his own story.
The story is very simple. By the time he discovered this cookbook, he had been staying in the Hu family’s study for who knows how many years.
When he tried the Qi-Inducing Technique, he discovered that he had spiritual roots and knew that there was a way to achieve immortality and immortality in this world.
From then on, Brother Hu resolutely left his hometown alone and embarked on the long road to seek immortality.
But as a casual cultivator, he still has the lowest five spiritual roots. In this continent of cultivation where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, his life can be imagined.
Later, by chance, he entered Tongjianmen and became a handyman disciple. I also studied the methods in the recipes, and the meals I made not only tasted better than others, but also had fewer impurities.
From here we entered the dining hall, where we stayed for nearly a hundred years.
He had practiced hard over the past hundred years, but had achieved very little. It was not until Shen Qinglan appeared that he understood what the gap was.
That's all, that's all, it's just some obsession. If he were in the mortal world, he would be nothing more than a handful of dirt.
"Young friend Shen, I hope you can accept this cookbook."
"Senior Brother Hu really wants to leave it to me?" With such a reluctant look, she really couldn't bear to take it!
"Alas, I don't have much time left now. I don't want the legacy of that senior's hard work to be cut off from me. This is the only thing I can do now."
He took a sip of tea and continued, "I know that you are highly talented in cultivation and have a single spiritual root. You may not be interested in this way. If you really have no intention, I hope that I can find a chance to find a suitable candidate to bring this to you." Pass this recipe on."
Shen Qinglan knew that Senior Brother Hu had misunderstood her and felt that she was extremely talented. The spiritual fire of the single spirit root refined the impurities in the food, but she knew in her heart that the strange fire was the key to refining.
Therefore, this book and the mental methods recorded in it are not necessarily suitable for her.
But faced with this almost last-word request, she really couldn't refuse.
"Senior Brother Hu understands me. I do have some interest in cooking. Then I will take it back and practice it seriously. If it is not suitable, I will find an opportunity to transfer it to others."
Senior Brother Hu breathed out a sigh of relief, "Then please."
After saying that, he lay back on the recliner. Under the sunlight, his whole body was enveloped in a halo.
It wasn't until Shen Qinglan walked to the door that she vaguely heard the sentence, "The fox returns to the hill after death, and his hometown can be forgotten."
Not long after, she heard that Senior Brother Hu had returned to the mortal world. Of course, this was all for later and will not be mentioned here.
Since Shen Qinglan promised to Senior Brother Hu, she naturally wanted to keep her promise.
This book, which is said to be a recipe book, has only the words "Hundred Demons" on the cover.
If you didn't know it, you would probably think it was some weird storybook or something like that.
There is indeed a mental method for introducing Qi into the body, but it is different from what she knew. The recipe is simpler. This should be the reason why Senior Brother Hu can successfully introduce Qi into the body in the mortal world where spiritual energy is thin.
Because of this, Shen Qinglan became more curious about this book called Hundred Demons.
This book is roughly divided into three parts.
In the first part, in addition to the mental method of introducing Qi into the body, there is also a set of training methods - Yanxin Jue, which can also be said to be a cooking method!
When processing ingredients, some impurities will be removed in advance, and some impurities will be purified during the cooking process, which can also purify the aura of the food.
The second part is about heat. Different types of ingredients have very different requirements for fire control.
Small and large monsters, as well as pythons and birds, are all explained with examples in the book.
It can be seen that the senior who wrote the book is really attentive.
There is also how to control when the spiritual plant elixir is added to the ingredients and cooked together.
This requires precise control of the spiritual fire, and the spiritual fire between monks is different, and the effects are also different.
The third part talks about the combination of ingredients and the argument that they complement each other. It seems simple, but the inner knowledge takes up most of the book.
It's just that the person who wrote the book was probably a senior from many years ago. Many of the monsters mentioned in it are rare and rare beasts that have long been hard to find. I can't find it, so where can I eat it?
Shen Qinglan took out a first-order demon rabbit from the storage bag, ran the Flame Heart Art according to Bai Yaoli's instructions, injected subtle spiritual power into it, and began to decompose the impurities inside. Unexpectedly, the few sentences explained in the book, It is extremely difficult to do.
After she had dealt with this little rabbit according to the Flame Heart Technique, two hours had passed. It was extremely draining of spiritual power and energy!
If there are people waiting for dinner at home, they may be hungry.
She wanted to continue with the second step, but unfortunately her body was empty at this time, without a trace of spiritual power.
I was a little annoyed and threw the rabbit back into the storage bag, even if I didn't want to eat it!
At this time, she was quite sympathetic to Senior Brother Hu. It would probably take a whole day to cook a meal.
Thinking of Senior Brother Hu, she took a deep breath and sat back on the couch. She promised to practice seriously and give it a try. Naturally, she couldn't give up easily.
If your spiritual power is gone, just practice and recover.
After recovering her spiritual power, Shen Qinglan took out the rabbit that would suffer even after death.
According to Yan Xin Jue, impurities need to be purified while cooking.
But the result of multitasking is that the finished roast rabbit is a charred mess.
Failed.
I originally thought that my fire control skills were somewhat successful, but I didn't expect that the boat would capsize so quickly.
Shen Qinglan: This is the worst cooking show in my life!
Fortunately, there is more than one rabbit. What she needs is constant practice.
One day, two days, and it wasn't until the third day that she finally made a roasted rabbit that satisfied her!
In the past three days, she had only done two things, recovering her spiritual power and cooking. Fortunately, Huangtian paid off.
The one she was holding now looked no different from the ones she baked on a daily basis, but the faint spiritual energy that wafted along with the fragrance still made her excited.
I don't know whether she was too hungry or the rabbit meat was too fragrant, but she soon ate the whole roasted rabbit with only a few bones left.
Pure spiritual power surged in her body, and there was no need to constantly refine it and then absorb it like in the previous practice. She felt the slightest fluctuation in the air points in her Dantian.
It's like the spirit-boosting pill that the sect distributes every month, but the spiritual power it brings is purer than the spirit-boosting pill.
A first-level monster can do this, but what if it is a third-level, fourth-level, or fifth-level monster?
Does this count as finding a shortcut on the road to immortality?
