Because it was the first time to make it, it took a long time for Yu Wan to process the ingredients, the spiritual grass, but overall it went smoothly, and the grass tea was ready in two hours.
She calculated that it would take two moments to cook the food. If you become proficient in it later, the production time can be reduced to about 1 hour.
Turn off the heat, strain out the brewed green herbal tea, and pour it evenly into two fat belly moire white jade pots.
The wall of the white jade pot is thin and transparent, and the green and clear tea soup appears faintly after being poured into it. The steaming heat is trapped in the pot by the jade lid in one breath.
Yu Wan took out a square piece of black ice that was as long as an arm and wide from the ring, and placed one of the pots on it.
In the past, in order to ensure the taste of the well-made ice, she specially moved a part of the space in the storage ring and filled it with thousands of years of ice brought from the Xuanbing Cave of Qianyuan Peak.
The ice used here is a piece taken from the specially provided "ice room".
After a while, one pot was still boiling hot, but the other pot was already cold. The walls of the white jade pot were filled with water drops, which continued to flow downwards along the traces of cloud patterns.
Yu Wan put the two pots into the wooden tray. Next to the cool pot, there was also a plate of light golden nectar and a small bowl of crystal black paste.
After everything was prepared, she put away her formation and walked out directly.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the monk who had been waiting outside for a long time had his nose twitching slightly. He seemed to smell the fresh and juicy grass in his hometown.
After staying in this dark city for a long time, he longed for the green grass that was full of yang essence. His eyes wandered over the two white jade pots for a moment. The man swallowed his saliva, nodded to Yu Wan, then turned around and led the way.
After turning left and right, and passing through several formations, the man finally stopped, bowed his head and clasped his fists towards the house not far away, "Young Master, the tea is ready."
"come in."
As soon as the young man's lazy voice came out, the two doors outside the room opened automatically. Yu Wan nodded to the man leading the way and walked in.
As soon as his feet stepped in, the door closed automatically. Gao Yan walked to the round table in the hall with his hands behind his back and raised his eyes to look at Yu Wan.
In his eyes, although the girl was clean and well-groomed, she was far less attractive than the two pots of tea in her hands that exuded the quiet scent of grass.
Stared at by a scorching gaze, Yu Wan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly walked to the table and placed the two pots of herbal tea and ingredients on the tray on top.
"Green grass tea is suitable for both hot and cold drinks. You can add nectar to cold drinks." As he introduced, Yu Wan pointed to the plate of light golden nectar, and then pointed to the black paste in the jade bowl beside it.
"This is Guiling paste, which is made by boiling the shells of turtles that are more than a hundred years old. It tastes very good when paired with ice-cold green herbal tea."
As she spoke, she picked up the tea cup on the table, poured two cups of cold and hot grass tea, and raised her hand for Gao Yan to taste it.
Because he stayed in this rural city for a long time, Gao Yan liked drinking hot tea to drive away the coldness around him.
At this time, he looked at the two cups of tea that were also steaming, and subconsciously picked up the steaming one.
Putting the bamboo hat-like tea cup to his lips and blowing it for a moment, then taking a sip, Gao Yan felt as if he was in the warm sun, and his soul felt the clarity from the inside out.
The slightly scalding tea poured into his belly, and the rushing water spirit energy poured into his limbs and bones with a warmth. At the end of the drink, Gao Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although the Gao clan claims to be descendants of the divine beast, the magical power of the Haechi bloodline has been lost for a long time. What is left in the body now is the curse of the Haechi clan that was conspired by the ancient witches.
Every time this curse occurs, there will be an extremely cold feeling like maggots on the tarsal bones wrapped around the soul. Without Haechi's own loyalty, it would be difficult to resist.
The ancestors of the Gao family also accidentally discovered a kind of spiritual grass in the Fengxi Grassland in the Ten Thousand Demons Domain. Eating it can withstand the cold force. Only then can they survive on the grassland. With the talent of the Gao family, they became the people of that place. overlord.
Feeling warm all over his body, Gao Yan thought of the scene when his uncle persuaded his father.
I heard that the person from Xingtian Mansion had found a reason that could eliminate or fuse the cold air in the cultivator's body, but because there were insufficient test samples, he asked for help from their demon clan.
He himself came to Huancheng for this reason. Unfortunately, he tried many times without success. Now that I have chosen so many guinea pigs this time, I hope I won’t let him down again.
Gao Yan's eyes darkened slightly, thinking of the person selected this time, a light blue figure flashed before his eyes.
Perhaps, only he has the best hope of completely absorbing the power within his body.
"Young Master, hot tea can warm the body and cleanse the soul. But cold tea also has unexpected features, please."
The girl's clear voice interrupted Gao Yan's thoughts. He turned his attention to the cup of tea with some Guiling paste added, paused, and raised his hand to pour half of the nectar.
Then he held a cool hat cup in his left hand and a white jade spoon in his right hand. After slowly stirring it, he scooped a spoonful of tea and Guiling paste and put it into his mouth.
After chewing for a moment, Gao Yan's pupils dilated slightly, obviously a little surprised by this bowl of tea that was considered a dessert.
The turtle jelly with a texture like black jade is bouncy and smooth in the mouth, and the clear tea water combines the taste of green grass and sweetness. The three seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they blend together perfectly.
Moreover, the effect of this bowl of refreshing tea is not inferior to that of hot tea, or even better.
After being lost for a moment, Gao Yan's right hand moved faster, and he finished the small cup of cold tea in just a few breaths.
He wanted to have another cup, but felt that his abdomen was bulging and the water spirit energy inside was about to overflow. Gao Yan put down the cup and spoon and coughed lightly, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Wan who had been waiting quietly beside him.
"What's your name?"
"In the evening, when the word "Xu" is spoken, the sun sets late."
Gao Yan nodded after hearing this, "Your qualifications are extremely poor. Although you passed the trial, you still cannot meet the screening requirements."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the two pots of tea on the table, "But as a spiritual chef, your skills are quite good, so you can make an exception. From today on, you will be my personal spiritual chef."
"I don't care if you run a small stove in private, but in this rural city, you can only obey my orders."
Under Gao Yan's sharp gaze, Yu Wan clasped her fists and said yes. After taking a piece of milky white and warm jade tablet, she turned and left.
Gao Yan in the room put away the two pots of green grass tea, turned back to the room, and began to refine the spiritual energy in his belly.
"Congratulations to the fairy. In Xia Gaowu, you can call the fairy by his first name."
The male cultivator who had been guarding outside saw Yu Wan holding a jade plaque belonging to the young master's relatives, and knew that not only had she stayed, but she was also favored by her young master.
"Gao Wu, my name is Yu Wan, just call me by my first name."
Yu Wan hung the jade plaque on her waist, took two sealed bamboo tubes from a worn storage bag on her waist, and handed them to Gao Wu.
"Taste it."
"Xie Xian... Many thanks, Yu Wan. I will take you to your residence."
Gao Wu was a little flattered when he saw the two bamboo tubes handed to him. He guessed what was inside. After hurriedly taking it, he grinned at Yu Wan and turned around to lead the way.
"Xian...Yu Wan, this jade medal is a good thing. With it, you can basically walk sideways in the West Market." Gao Wu shook the same mutton-fat jade medal around his waist and explained.
"The jade used in this jade brand is mutton-fat jade, a type of jade found on our Fengxi grassland. Wearing it regularly on the body can keep it from being affected by the cold underground air."
"Moreover, this jade medal has the ability to protect oneself and can withstand the strongest blow of the Nascent Soul cultivator. It can only be owned by those who are truly favored by the young master."
On the way, Gao Wu thanked Yu Wan in his heart for the two bamboo tubes of tea he had given him. After all, most cultivators have eyes higher than their heads and it is difficult to see people like them as subordinates.
To express his gratitude, along the way, he talked about a lot of what he had seen in the Western Market and what he needed to pay attention to when serving the young master.
"We are in a hurry and have not prepared any extra rooms, so you will have to live in this small courtyard for just one night. When you return to the West Market tomorrow, make sure you are satisfied with the accommodation."
After Gao Wu finished speaking, he clasped his fists and left.
Yu Wan followed Gao Wu's instructions and placed the mutton-fat jade plaque in front of the magic circle in the small courtyard. The light shield in front of him flickered, and then a hole was opened for one person to pass through.
As he said, this jade token is really a good thing.
Yu Wan sighed in her heart, opened the door and walked in.
In the small courtyard on the side, Yang Danzi has been staying with his friend Guixiu, no one else, just because his friend lives in the last room among them.
Looking at the full courtyard in front of him when he made the choice, he guessed that if they lived next to each other like this, maybe there would be Xiaoni who could make grass tea next to them... no, a little fairy.
Yangdanzi waited until midnight with hopeless eyes. After realizing that someone was staying in the small courtyard next to him, he couldn't help but excitedly shook the arm of the ghost cultivator who was sitting quietly next to him.
The ghost cultivator, who had a pale face and had been unilaterally tied up as a friend by Yang Danzi since he came out of the dark twisting space, had a calm face, his eyes were empty, and he continued to sit in a daze.
Yang Danzi was left alone there excited and talking.
In the nearby yard, after Yu Wan came in, he first placed another layer of formations, and then pulled the spirit beast bag around his waist with his left hand. With a flash of inspiration, a snow-white fox sprang out and landed lightly on the ground.
"It's so suffocating. Sister, I want to drink that tea too. It's cold."
Hu Fuwei's clear voice echoed in the yard. She had recovered her body at this time, her eyes widened, and she looked at Yu Wan quietly.
"Here." Yu Wan handed Hu Fuwei two small bowls of green grass tea, as well as a little bit of Guiling paste and Fengya honey.
Hu Fuwei saw that the bowl was smaller than the hat cup, and the corners of his eyes drooped in excitement.
"This tea requires a high degree of cultivation. If not you don't want to eat other spiritual food?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Fuwei's eyes lit up again.
Yes, why did she forget that she could only have tea to fill her stomach for dinner?
It didn’t take long and the food was ready. Calling out Heng Ha, they chatted and ate together. During this period, Yu Wan talked about the follow-up plan.
Although there are risks in this trip, the benefits are also huge. She didn't expect that she would have the right to explore the entire West City at once.
However, the smaller the restrictions on movement, the more cautious she must be, and she must not reveal her flaws at any time.
Regarding this point, Hu Fuwei seems to be much more ambitious.
"Sister, you have my illusion, don't worry."
Hearing this, Yu Wan raised her hand and gave Hu Fuwei a light shudder on his forehead, and warned, "There are many high-level monks in the West City, so we must not mess around."
"I know, I know." After dealing with it, Hu Fuwei buried his head in pain.
When Yu Wan saw this, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to temporarily contract Hu Fuwei as a spiritual beast to stay by his side.
After having enough tea and food, they all started their own practice.
Hu Fuwei slept together with Heng Ha in his arms.
Yu Wan thought about how busy she was during this period, and knew that she would only have a little time to rest when she went to the West Market, so she did not arrange any study tasks for herself, and went to dream of Duke Zhou next to Hu Fuwei with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, all the monks gathered at the gate of the mansion at the end of Mao Shi. Those slaves who were chosen to be monks stood at the end of the procession.
Although Yu Wan already had a mutton-fat jade medal, he still stood quietly at the end of the team. The jade medal was hung on the right side of his waist, sometimes covered by his arm, so it was not conspicuous.
Yangdanzi pulled the ghost cultivator out early in the morning. After seeing Yu Wan's figure, he waved enthusiastically and followed behind him, reaching the end of the team.
"It's been a long time since I last saw the fairy. I was quite shocked by the aura of the fairy that day. I don't know her name?"
Yu Wan did not object to friendship with other monks. On the contrary, she deliberately stood here just to make friends with the monks here.
Just listening to the words that the sheep demon found in the story book, I couldn't help but feel speechless.
"My name is Yu Wan. You can just call me by my name." Yu Wan greeted Yang Danzi and Guixiu with fists in his hands.
Yang Danzi placed his left hoof in front of his right hoof and said, "My name is Yang Danzi, and this is..."
When he wanted to introduce his friend, he suddenly realized that he had never asked his name. But fortunately, the ghost cultivator changed from his usual daze at this moment, cupping his fists and saying, "Jiang Di."
After saying that, he nodded to Yu Wan, then walked behind Yu Wan and waited quietly for the team to set off.
Instead, Yang Danzi stayed by Yu Wan's side, constantly looking for one topic after another. But every time he said less than two or three sentences, he would kill him.
At the beginning of the evening, I wanted to get some information from the young master's distant relatives, but unfortunately, there was very little effective information.
Finally, after Yang Danzi was about to start another topic, Yu Wan noticed the movement in front of the team, turned around and said, "Yang... Fellow Taoist, we are about to leave. Let's talk later."
"Okay, okay, let's talk later." Given the chance to meet again, Yang Danzi stopped pestering him and squeezed back, lining up in front of Jiang Di.
Jiang Di didn't say anything after being squeezed, and his eyes continued to stare blankly into the void.
Soon, the team began to take action, and everyone moved towards the city gate.
After walking out of the central area, more monks gathered around. They did not dare to joke with the young city lord in front of him or his family. They only dared to wait until an acquaintance who was selected as a slave came up to them and make fun or sarcastic remarks.
Seeing the proud faces of some monks in the team, and the envious sarcastic tone of the monks beside the team, Yu Wan sneered in her heart.
Who would have thought that aliens who are generally disliked by everyone in the outside world, here, when the ostracized become the ostracized, they are proud of their differences, establish a hierarchy, and start to compare.
Yu Wan doesn't know, does this group of people still have the courage to break out now? In other words, if they really escape, what attitude will they have towards the natural aliens in the outside world.
Exclude, integrate, or hide your differences...
The team marched slowly, and Yu Wan quickly reached the city gate.
Just when he was about to pass through the city gate, he felt a breath. He turned his head and saw a figure in black robes among the crowd.
That was He Yun who escaped from Xishi and Xingtian Mansion in the past.
He Yun stared at Yu Wan at the end of the team. He didn't know whether Yu Wan's move pushed him deeper into the cliff, or whether he was really sure that he could disrupt the city.
It's a pity that no matter what, he didn't have any more courage to go in. Therefore, although he had been doing his best to help Yu Wan obtain information, he had never said that he wanted to participate in this screening.
After watching Yu Wan leave completely, He Yun turned around and left before the city gate closed, returning to the small courtyard where he had been hiding.
Before leaving, in order to express his gratitude, Yu Wan left many apricot-related dishes.
It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to eat for a while.
At this moment, he hurriedly walked back, just to take a sip of the apricot wine that tasted like his hometown, so as to soothe his homesickness.
He may never go back to the Ten Thousand Demons Realm, a place that is covered with yellow apricots in summer and autumn.
Bang~
There was a loud noise and the city gate closed.
The monks stared blankly for a moment before turning around and leaving.
Dongshi, Lengcheng, this prison, can you still get out?
