Chapter 5 The Path of Immortal Cultivation
In the soup room, Yu Zecheng bowed respectfully to Bai Hexi and said:
"Thank you Brother Bai for killing the Demon Tianlang and avenging my grandfather. This is the tribute my mother asked me to give me. Thank you Brother Bai for your great kindness."
After saying that, Bai Hexi bowed to the ground, and received the gift calmly. Then Yu Zecheng began to teach him how to make soup.
Yu Zecheng's teaching details did not hide anything from Bai Hexi. Bai Hexi also learned carefully and had to experiment with everything himself.
Time passed without realizing it, and everything Yu Zecheng had left to Bai Hexi, and Yu Zecheng said:
"It's probably like that. As long as the mother soup is cooked, there is no need to wait for a day and a night to make the soup. However, the mother soup cannot be kept for more than three days, even if it is frozen into ice, otherwise the taste will deteriorate.
Well, Brother Bai can do it in general. Now I should teach you the three most important points."
Bai Hexi smiled and said:
"You are not afraid that others will learn it, and you may even sell the secret to the chef, but he will never make such soup no matter what. These three points are your hand."
Yu Zecheng smiled and said:
"Brother Bai laughed and said, I live all by this soup, so I naturally have to keep a hand, but I will teach you all for Brother Bai.
The first point is to add salt. Since ancient times, people must not ignore salt. If you want wine and vegetables to taste delicious, adding salt is important. In fact, there are so many things to say about adding salt. My soup depends on adding salt to season. I remember that in "Yuanheng Zhongyao", I saw a story in "Yuanheng Zhongyao", a chef in Chen Guo held a banquet for the king and made a whole day's banquet. As a result, he forgot to add salt to the last dish, and thought that it was over. This was the crime of beheading.
As a result, everyone praised the deliciousness of this dish because all the dishes were filled with salt. After eating them for a day, these people had absorbed enough salt. After eating the dishes that did not add salt, they felt that the dish was salty, light and delicious, and extremely delicious.
So when I taught the chef, I told him to add a ounce of salt. This salt is absolutely normal for these soups. He is an old chef and can't see any problems. In fact, there is something to say here. Every time my soup is the last one to serve. People at the banquet have already eaten the ditch and the troughs are flat. The salt they absorbed in other dishes is enough. I don't add salt every time I serve the soup. They no longer need salt, so when they drink it, they feel the taste is just right, salty and tasty.
If you don’t know this, the chef also puts salt normally according to the method I taught. The soup tastes normal when it is tested, but when it is served at the banquet, it will definitely leave a salty taste. Moreover, this soup is mainly maintained. As long as it is salty, other umami flavors will disappear. Naturally, the taste is wrong and it is not delicious.
Second, Brother Bai, look at these three Chinese herbal medicines, Muqi, Huangguan, and Golian. In fact, they can make this soup without adding it. The purpose of my use is to prevent others from learning secretly.
Muqi's herb will emit a bitter taste whenever it encounters vinegar. Yellow ginseng will emit a fishy smell as long as it is cooked for more than an hour, and it will emit astringent smell when it encounters beef.
But as long as you match these three flavors reasonably, the three flavors will neutralize each other and become an attractive fragrance, and there will also be a salty feeling, which will cover up the secret of not adding salt.
This combination requires precise grasp of the ratio of the ingredients, the time to put them in the pot, and the time to produce the soup. It cannot be a little worse, otherwise the taste of the soup will change. Well, I will talk to Brother Bai in detail now..."
Bai Hexi was particularly interested in this, and asked in detail over and over again and carefully studied it. Yu Zecheng slowly understood that Bai Hexi's method of paying attention to the confidentiality of this soup is not the same as himself. He wanted to rely on this soup to make a strong man and make a name for himself. At the same time, he was afraid that others would learn and steal his own business.
After teaching this, Yu Zecheng continued:
"I'm not sure about this, and I don't know why. We chefs have some internal strength, and sometimes we use internal strength to help burn the fire, so that the soup will be cooked faster and will be even better.
Although the internal strength I practice is very weak, using my internal strength to help burn the fire is better than the soup they use to help burn the fire. It is because of this that the chef gave up the idea of learning my soup.”
After Yu Zecheng said that, Bai Hexi nodded unstoppably, and then he reached out to touch Yu Zecheng's head, used his skills to feel it, and said after a while:
"How did you find these tricks?"
Yu Zecheng replied:
"I discovered the knowledge of adding salt in "Yuanheng Zongyao". As for the conflict and harmony between the three herbs, I read it in "Compendium of Materia Medica". I tried it hundreds of times before I summarized it."
Bai Hexi nodded and said:
"At a young age, I am a good seedling. The third reason I know why, your body has the five elements spiritual roots. Although it belongs to the pseudo-spirit roots, none of them have this. This soup is said to be a soup that actually has the medicinal properties of Xingqi San, and only those with spiritual roots can practice it. In addition, you may have the talented magical powers of refining medicine?"
Yu Zecheng asked in surprise:
"What is spiritual root?"
Bai Hexi said:
"Have you heard of immortals?"
Yu Zecheng nodded and replied:
"I heard from my father that he had seen immortals flying in the air."
Bai Hexi nodded and said:
"In fact, immortals are all made by mortals, but with the same secret magic, some people can practice to become immortals, while others cannot attract spiritual energy into their bodies no matter what, they cannot cultivate true energy, and they cannot become immortals.
Later, after countless generations of research, it was found that mortals who can cultivate true energy must have spiritual roots in their meridians. If a person does not have spiritual roots, then don’t think about cultivating immortals, because you can’t sense spiritual energy at all, let alone cultivate magic power!
You belong to the Five Elements Spiritual Root, which is one of the largest spiritual roots. The Tiger Roaring Sky Art you practiced was originally evolved from the basic exercises of immortal cultivation. Therefore, if you use internal energy to help burn, and have spiritual roots in your body, you can lead spiritual energy into the soup. With the prototype of refining medicine, after this soup is prepared, there will be a weak medicinal property of Xingqi Dispersing and replenishing human vitality. This is what I am curious about. I said, how can ordinary chefs make this soup?"
Yu Zecheng listened in surprise and said:
"Five elements spiritual roots? Refining medicine? Brother Bai, can I also cultivate immortals?"
Bai Hexi nodded and sighed:
"It's so difficult to cultivate immortals. You see, I'm so glorious outside. In fact, I'm just an outsider. I'm not able to get the way to get started. If I can join the inner sect with this soup, get the reward from the ancestor, break through the innate realm, and build the foundation, I will not forget you."
Yu Zecheng said:
"Thank you, Brother Dabai. What foundation building? In my memory, the innate master is the strongest master in the world?"
Bai Hexi learned how to make soup today. He hoped that there would be direction in his heart, so he was naturally happy and said a few more words:
"Innate master, haha, in the mortal realm, he is indeed a famous master in the world, but it is just the beginning of cultivating immortals.
For ordinary people to cultivate immortals, they have to go through five major periods and fifteen realms. These five major periods are: Qi Refining Period, Foundation Establishing Period, Golden Elixir Period, Nascent Soul Period, and Rest Period.
Each period is divided into three realms. The Qi refining stage is divided into qi-induced qi, fetal breathing, innate, foundation-building stage is divided into body shaping, fusion, spiritual silence, golden elixir stage is divided into elixir, heart movement, dragon and tiger, and Nascent Soul stage is divided into infant, out of body, dispersing spirit, and resting the emptiness stage is divided into empirical, passing disaster, and Mahayana.
The fifteen realms of immortal cultivation are divided into primary level, intermediate level, advanced level, and a peak state in the final breakthrough period, so each period is divided into ten level states.
Internal power like Ma Laohei has been in his thirty years and can use sword light. The martial arts master who releases true qi will be converted to the primary level of the fetal breathing realm during the Qi refining period. It is characterized by being able to release true qi to form a sword energy sword light protection cover.
Like the Demonic Wolf who enters the Tao with martial arts, turns white hair into black, and controls the air, that means entering the advanced level of the innate realm, and the sign is that he can stand in the air. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, he needs to reach the peak of innate realm, and then build a foundation, refine his body again, and turn the old man into a young man. Only then can he truly enter the world of immortal cultivation, and be recognized by the world of immortal cultivation, and be a formal disciple of various sects.
As long as you enter the world of immortal cultivation, you will not be practicing true qi, but true magic power. At that time, you will learn immortal arts and magic tricks, or have magical instruments and spiritual weapons. Even the weakest cultivator in the Qi-induced realm can kill martial arts powerhouses in the innate realm if he has powerful immortal arts and magic weapons."
After saying that, Bai Hexi moved his hand and a fireball appeared in his hand. His feet were as big as a head, floating in his hand, emitting powerful heat.
Bai Hexi moved his hand again, the fireball disappeared, and said:
"The Demonic Wolf has reached the level of innate level. I am only at the level of innate level, and I am two levels higher than my level. However, under the bombardment of my weak Taoist magic and fireball technique, I finally broke through the true qi mask and used up all my true qi and killed it on the spot.
The biggest advantage of cultivating immortals is that they can prolong their lifespan. During the Qi Refining Period, those who enter the fetal breathing realm can live to their seventies. If they enter the innate realm, it will not be a problem for those who are in their 150s, and they will be healthy and will not be able to get any disease.
If you can achieve success in foundation building, enter the foundation building stage and refine the body, your life span will increase by at least two Jiazi, and you can live to at least three hundred years old. Entering the fusion state, the Lingji state will increase the life span of one Jiazi, and reach the age of four hundred years old.
If you can enter the Golden Elixir stage, your life span will double, and you can live to eight hundred years old, and you can also get a soldier to take over your body and be reincarnated. If you can enter the Nascent Soul stage, you can be said to be immortal and immortal, and you can live for at least thousands of years, and you will not be in danger of falling until the heavenly tribulation comes."
Yu Huacheng listened silently, engraved all of these in his mind, and then said:
"What about after I return to the Virtuous Mahayana?"
Bai Hexi said in a fascination:
"That is to ascend to the sky, or to the heavenly beings or to the Asura, and enter the immortal world. That is the highest level of immortal cultivators, but the realm of over-the-catastrophe is very dangerous. According to ancient legend, the Nascent Soul is easy to cause and it is difficult to overcome the disaster.
It’s a bit too far. Now we have six regions including the south of the world, Mobei, Ancient Qin, Chuxi, Miao Xiang, Suiyuan, etc., and thirty-seven continents. As long as we reach the Golden Elixir stage, we can open the door to establish sects, manipulate the country, and divide the world. Immortals like the Yuanying stage, that is, the thirty-six sects, and the 108 sects, will only have one or two of them. Not to mention the immortals in the Return Void stage, even the immortals in the realm of divine division have not appeared in the world for three or four thousand years."
Hearing this Yu Zecheng didn't speak for a long time, he was completely shocked. Bai Hexi said again:
"Xiao Yuzi, do you really want to be a chef for the rest of your life?"
