Chapter 640: Asian New Food Cultivation
The disciple who ran over was called Li Ping. He had been promoted to the Golden Immortal for 30,000 years, and he was still in the middle stage. According to his cultivation speed and qualifications, it would be impossible to advance to the Daluo Golden Immortal without special circumstances.
Li Ping didn't seem to care much about practicing and focused on studying cooking. His cooking skills were really good, not even worse than Jin Xinsheng's, and he was Jin Xinsheng's most proud disciple.
For Donglai Pavilion, outstanding disciples are not about how diligent they are in training or how talented they are, but how accomplished they are in cooking. This is true for the Twelve Immortal Chef sects. They all focus on developing Immortal Chef cooking skills. Cooking skills are their true pursuit.
Jin Xinsheng took everyone to the side room in the backyard. It was said to be a side room but it was actually not small. According to the calculation of the earth, it would be at least a thousand square meters of room. In the center was a pot table with various shelves on both sides, filled with various kinds of things. Grown food and medicinal materials.
This is the place where Li Ping studied food cultivation. After everyone arrived, Li Ping did not speak, but held his breath and concentrated. He took out another elixir and put it in his mouth, and then he meditated.
After burning the incense, Li Ping stood up and spit out a burst of immortal power from his palm, and the stove under the pot immediately lit up.
"Earthfire!"
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. Under this pot is earth fire. Earth fire is not as precious as the real fire of heaven and earth, but it is also a good source of fire. For the immortal chef, all kinds of things that are beneficial to cooking must be used, the more powerful it is. The more Immortal Chef you use, the more you use it.
However, Tie Xian disagrees with this. There are many ways to achieve the same goal. In the end, cooking must return to simplicity. Like Tie Xian himself, no matter what tools he uses, he can make more delicious and better food.
After the ground fire was ignited, bursts of white smoke soon came out of the pot.
Li Ping poured a jar of water into the pot. The water was spring water from Heaven. The Twelve Immortal Chefs sect had a good relationship with Heaven. The royal chefs of the Heavenly Court bosses came from the Twelve Immortal Chefs sect. He wanted some Tianquan water. It's not difficult.
After putting the water in, Li Ping immediately put the prepared ingredients into the pot one by one.
Jin Xinsheng, Bai Quan and others stood aside, watching with frowning eyes, and no one said anything. Li Ping put in a total of thirty-three kinds of ingredients, while Gu Zheng's brows twitched.
Generally speaking, food repair requires a lot of ingredients to match. Thirty-three said it was not too much, but it was not too much. The quantity was not a problem, but Li Pingfang's portion was slightly wrong.
As for the main ingredient, he directly put in a whole plant of Yaxincao. If he were doing this kind of food repair ancient competition, he would never put in so much.
Although it is the main ingredient, the quantity matching of various ingredients is very important. This is a very simple truth. It is impossible for Li Ping and Jin Xinsheng not to know that. Gu Zheng does not understand why they did not match the quantity.
After all the ingredients were put away, Li Ping put his hands flat and closed his eyes.
His immortal power began to surge. This was the most important part of doing food cultivation. How to integrate the effects of the medicine to maximize the effect and achieve the desired effect at the same time depends on his next steps.
"It's not impossible to change the quantity of the main ingredients, increase the efficacy of the main ingredients, and use the Yang Hua Gong to eliminate the excess medicinal power!"
Jin Xinsheng nodded as he spoke.
Huayang Gong is not Donglai Pavilion's unique secret book. In fact, many people know it. It is an ordinary immortal skill. Nine out of ten immortal chefs know Yang Huayong. Huayang Gong can be used to prepare some ingredients. Strong, for example, if a certain ingredient is too acidic, you can use Huayang Gong to remove part of the acidity and then neutralize it.
"Hua Yang Kung?"
Gu Zheng was a little surprised. Jin Xinsheng glanced at him and then explained the Huayang Kung, but he was shaking his head in his heart.
He didn't expect that Gu Zheng didn't even know the Huayang Kung Fu. How much could a person who didn't know the Yang Hua Kung know about the Immortal Kitchen? He actually boasted that he had a certain understanding of food cultivation. Jin Xinsheng already knew Gu Zheng in his heart. I looked down upon him a lot and thought he was just talking nonsense.
Gu Zheng really doesn’t know about the Huayang Gong because he has never learned it or used it. He has Tie Xian’s cooking skills, so he doesn’t need the Huayang Gong at all. Moreover, even if the ingredients have stronger properties, Gu Zheng can still neutralize them. , bring these characteristics into full play, instead of purely using the Huayang Gong to remove them.
It's like a weird-shaped potato. Jin Xinsheng and the others eliminated all the bad edges and corners, while Gu Zheng used all the edges and corners in other places without wasting any of them.
Gu Zheng has such an ability, so naturally he doesn't need to use the Huayang Technique. Qi Ling has never taught him, and he has come into contact with very few immortal chefs before. He has come into contact with them on earth, but they are competitors, and others will not tell him. This is so bad that he doesn't even know this magical skill that most immortal chefs know.
However, knowing the characteristics of Huayang Gong, Gu Zheng understood why Li Ping did what he did.
Using Huayang Gong to remove part of the medicinal effect can indeed achieve a balancing effect, but it is obvious that Li Ping has entered a misunderstanding. The most important thing for food cultivation is not balance, but nature.
Food cultivation is different from alchemy. What is produced by alchemy is elixir, and the medicinal effects are concentrated in the elixir. However, what food cultivation produces is gourmet food. First of all, the food comes first, and then the effect of the elixir is added to the food.
Nowadays, Li Ping's food cultivation is too focused on the efficacy of medicine and neglects the basics. Gu Zheng is not very optimistic about the food cultivation he is currently doing.
Li Ping didn't know what Gu Zheng was thinking. He was trying hard to keep the food in the pot. Soon, the fragrance of the food spread out. Jin Xinsheng and the others all showed smiles. Su Ming and Ouyang Hai also kept sniffing. Wiggle your nose.
They had only smelled such a good fragrance on the food made by Gu Zheng. They didn't expect that Li Ping could create such a strong fragrance.
Gu Zheng shook his head secretly.
He first pursued the efficacy of the medicine, and now he began to force the fragrance and fuse the ingredients. Although the fragrance was successfully created, it also left serious hidden dangers. Gu Zheng became less and less optimistic about his pot of food cultivation. It was a pity for this pot of high-quality ingredients.
Yaxin grass is a high-quality ingredient. Most of the other raw materials are excellent grades. A few are high-quality, and there are almost no medium-quality ones. When he was on Earth, he couldn't even think of such good materials. There was no such thing.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and Jin Xinsheng and others showed joy on their faces.
"It seems that Ping'er can succeed this time!"
Bai Quan said happily. Li Ping was raised by Jin Xinsheng since he was a child. Just like Jin Xinsheng's son, he was also a disciple that Bai Quan and others watched grow up. Now that they see the hope of success in Yaxin food cultivation, everyone is very happy.
The success of Yaxin Food Cultivation is different from other delicacies. This is a food cultivation that can be taken by multiple people at the same time. It is a food cultivation that is more effective than elixirs. Once it succeeds, I believe that many major sects will invite them to come to make such food cultivation.
According to their charging standards, the reward for making a food cultivation is the same as the material. Just making food cultivation can earn a lot of resources, not to mention that after the appearance of such food cultivation, the reputation of their Donglai Pavilion can be greatly improved again, and it may even be the leader of the twelve sects.
Although the twelve immortal chef sects help each other, there is also competition within, and they are all trying to improve their reputation.
Just like Shushan, it is very united to the outside world, and it is also divided into three thousand side peaks inside. Each side peak is working hard for its own development. The twelve immortal chef sects are not a whole, and this kind of competition is even greater.
Jin Xinsheng and the others are happy, while Gu Zheng sighed heavily.
"Failed!"
Without waiting for the end, Gu Zheng already knew the result. The stronger the fragrance, the greater the possibility of failure. With the current fragrance, it can basically be determined to be a failure.
In terms of food cultivation alone, Gu Zheng's level is higher than any of them. Food cultivation was originally created by Master Tiexian. Gu Zheng learned the most orthodox food cultivation, unlike others who explored it all by themselves.
"Master, how does this compare to our Yuan-increasing food cultivation?"
Ouyang Hai asked in a voice transmission. He had eaten Gu Zheng's food cultivation many times and knew some of the abilities of food cultivation. After listening to them, he felt that it was a bit similar to Gu Zheng's Yuan-increasing food cultivation.
"The effect is not as good as our Yuan-increasing food cultivation, but it is not bad, provided that it succeeds!"
Gu Zheng thought about it and then replied. Ouyang Hai turned around in surprise and asked again: "Master, what you mean is that he will fail this time!"
"Nearly 100%!"
The Yaxin food cultivation they made is indeed very similar to Gu Zheng's Yuan-increasing food cultivation. Strictly speaking, they are actually the same type, just like fish-flavored pork shreds, fish-flavored eggplant, etc., which are all fish-flavored methods, but with different ingredients.
Ouyang Hai turned his head again and stared blankly at the cooking Yaxin Food Repair.
The color of the soup in the pot has changed and turned black, which makes Jin Xinsheng and others even happier. According to their previous inferences, the final product of Yaxin Food Repair is black, which does not look good, but the effect is very good. Now the soup has turned black, which means that this pot of food repair is almost finished.
"It's over!"
Soon, Gu Zheng said faintly, and Jin Xinsheng and others immediately turned their heads and looked at him in confusion, but the next moment they had no intention of caring about Gu Zheng. They saw that the pot in front of He Ping suddenly made a loud noise, and the soup inside splashed everywhere, and all the soup in the pot splashed out, leaving nothing behind.
Fortunately, there were no ordinary people around, and the splashed juice was blocked by the immortal power of the crowd, and did not fall on them, but all fell to the ground.
Looking at the pieces of black water on the ground, which were still smoking, Li Ping looked sluggish and a little bit unbelievable.
He thought about it for a long time, deduced it for a long time, and finally came up with this suitable method, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the end. This failure was not at the beginning, but when he was about to succeed. This result made him even more difficult to accept.
Of course, he didn't know that he was wrong at the beginning and it was impossible to succeed.
"No, it must be that I didn't control the heat well. I want to try again!"
Li Ping's eyes were red. He cleaned the big pot, poured the spring water again, ignited the earth fire again, put in the same ingredients, and started again.
It was still the previous method, but Li Ping was more careful and didn't dare to divide the dividends. The control of the immortal power was very precise. Although this consumed a lot of the mind, it was better to control.
Gu Zheng shook his head again. Li Ping was wrong at the beginning. It was not something he could control at all. Now he tried it forcibly, and the final result would still be failure.
Jin Xinsheng and the others didn't speak, for fear of disturbing Li Ping. They had just analyzed Li Ping's process of making food repairs and agreed with Li Ping. If it still failed, they didn't know how to make this Asian new food repair.
Jin Xinsheng had proposed this Asian food cultivation ten thousand years ago, and he had studied it for thousands of years. Although immortals have long lives, it is not easy for them to study one thing for such a long time. Now they are about to succeed, but they are thrown a basin of cold water at the end. How can they not feel uncomfortable?
The same process naturally leads to the same result.
The soup in the pot splashed out again, and Li Ping's face turned pale and he sat on the ground.
Jin Xinsheng and the others also looked very unhappy. Li Ping was hit, so why not them? Although Li Ping was the one trying, all the research was done jointly by them. This was also the result of Jin Xinsheng's research.
"Is it possible that my theory is wrong and that such food cultivation cannot be done at all?"
Jin Xinsheng said bitterly that he had calculated his own settings. This was also the first time he said this, and the first time he questioned the food cultivation theory he created.
"No, Master, you are right. We have jointly imagined that the Yaxin Food Cultivation you proposed is valid and can be done, but we haven't found the right method yet!"
Li Ping was the first to stand up and object. He has been practicing for 30,000 years, and he has been studying Yaxin Food Cultivation for nearly 10,000 years. One-third of his training time, he will never agree that what he is studying is a wrong thing. , is something impossible to achieve.
Jin Xinsheng didn't say anything. Li Ping cleaned the pot again and poured Tianquan water. From the look of him, he was planning to try again.
"etc!"
Gu Zheng suddenly shouted. Li Ping couldn't find the reason. If he tried again, the result would still be failure. It would just be a failure, but these raw materials would be destroyed. It was such a pity.
Yaxincao and the three auxiliary materials are all of high grade, especially Yaxincao, which is extremely valuable. Li Ping kept a lot of it. Such raw materials were destroyed one by one before the ancient war, which made him very upset. Heartache.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Jin Xinsheng felt sad, but he still showed respect for Gu Zheng. He did not want to give up his research and wanted Yaxin Food Cultivator to succeed, but the repeated failures really hit him hard.
Li Ping is his most proud disciple. In fact, in terms of food cultivation, Li Ping has surpassed Jin Xinsheng and is the best person in Donglai Pavilion. He has always failed. This time, he is 70% sure that he will still fail. , which shocked Jin Xinsheng so much that he said that what he proposed was a wrong theory.
"First of all, there is nothing wrong with your Yaxin food cultivation, but there is something wrong with your method. Can you let me try it?"
Gu Zheng said slowly. Although he had not heard Jin Xinsheng talk about their theory and research on Yaxin Food Cultivation, he had already seen all the problems of this food cultivator from Li Ping's methods just now, and also knew about this food cultivator. The meaning of cultivation and how to make corrections.
"you?"
Jin Xinsheng was very surprised, and Li Ping also turned his head and frowned.
"Yes, let me give it a try. I have some experience in food cultivation. Your Yaxin food cultivation is very similar to a food cultivation I did before. I think I can give it a try!"
Ya Xin Shi Xiu Gu Zheng has never made it. It’s like he has always made fish-flavored shredded pork and never made fish-flavored eggplant. But since he knows how to cook fish-flavored shredded pork and has the correct recipe for fish-flavored eggplant, he can It’s not difficult to make fish-flavored eggplant.
"Brother Jin, my uncle's cooking skills are definitely not inferior to yours. Since he said this, he must be sure of it. If Brother Jin, you are worried about wasting raw materials, you can rest assured that we in Shushan will give you double compensation for how much you use. you!"
Seeing Jin Xinsheng's hesitation, Su Ming said that he knew Gu Zheng's cooking skills. Although he had never tasted Gu Zheng's cooking skills, in his opinion, food training and cooking skills were similar, and people with good cooking skills were the same. Can make good food.
But this is not Shushan after all, and what is used is other people's things. Yaxincao is also a very precious raw material. He is worried that Donglai Pavilion is afraid of waste due to ancient disputes, so he specifically offered to double the compensation.
"No, Brother Su, I don't mean that. It would be better if you are willing to try, sir. Maybe you can give us some advice!"
Jin Xinsheng immediately smiled and shook his head. In fact, he did think so in his heart, thinking that Gu Zheng would waste raw materials, but Su Ming reminded him in time that Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person. He was Su Ming's uncle and the highest ranking person in Shushan. people.
If such a person wants to play, it doesn't matter if he tries it. It's just a raw material. They can't afford to waste it. It's better than turning against Shushan. A first-class sect like Shushan is not someone they want to offend casually. It's naturally better to be on good terms with them.
"master!"
Instead, Li Ping called out urgently, and Jin Xinsheng immediately sent a message to him to stop what he was going to say next, and let Gu Zheng try. Maybe he couldn't come up with anything at all, and then he would be the only one embarrassed. .
As for the double amount of raw materials that Shushan wanted to give, of course they would not take it. In this way, Shushan owed them a small favor. A piece of raw material was exchanged for a small favor from Shushan, which was very worth it.
Li Ping had no choice but to walk back and looked at Gu Zheng again, with contempt and reluctance in his eyes.
He only prepared three ingredients this time. If Gu Zheng wanted to try it, he would have no chance. He could only wait for the new Yaxincao to arrive. They had been purchasing Yaxincao and bought it. The new grass will not be delivered until half a month later. If he wants to try it next time, it will be half a month later.
After waiting for half a month, he was a little anxious, but now Li Ping wanted to be more open-minded. He failed twice. The third time he was not sure at all. It might as well let Gu Zheng try, he can be good in the rest of the time. Summarize the experience of this failure, find out the problem, and try it next time, you may succeed.
Gu Zheng walked to the pot and released the fire control technique. The ground fire was immediately ignited and spread evenly on the bottom of the pot.
This hand-controlled fire technique is really good, even better than Li Ping's, which makes Jin Xinsheng and others look at it with new eyes. However, the food cultivation is not about controlling fire, but more importantly, the production of food cultivation. Gu Zheng, who doesn't even know the Huayang Gong, Jin Xinsheng doesn't believe that he can make any food cultivation.
After all, food cultivation is not ordinary food, it is to infinitely expand the medicinal effect of the raw materials. If it can't do this, it is not food cultivation at all, but just ordinary food. That would be a waste, and it would be better to refine it into an elixir.
