Chapter 1 Eat and drink on your birthday
The mountains and rivers are stacked on top of each other, reflecting deep and light shades of green, and the Qingyue Prefecture in the valley is shrouded in a misty drizzle.
Qingyue Prefecture is located in the southeast of Zhonglu, it is one of the great cities of cultivation in the Zhonglu Xiuzhen realm, its status is equivalent to the magic capital of the Zhang Ning world, and the cultivation of monks living in Qingyue Prefecture is also in the middle stage of qi refining.
Dengxian Lou is the premier luxury restaurant in Qingyue Prefecture, and the tea, fruits and dishes here are unimaginable in the mortal world, of course, correspondingly, the price is not affordable for ordinary monks.
A young monk in white with a clear face was sitting leisurely on the second floor of the restaurant by the window drinking tea, looking into the distance from time to time, breathing in the fresh and luscious fragrance of plants and trees brought in by the damp breeze.
He first tasted the tea carefully, it was refreshing and sweet, fragrant on his teeth and cheeks, and a trace of weak aura flowed through his limbs and veins after entering his abdomen. Then, he picked up a spirit fruit in a pink jade plate, the shape and size of the spirit fruit were very similar to Go chess pieces, the color was almost transparent, and a purple fruit core in the center could be seen.
The white-clothed monk put the spiritual fruit into his mouth, and the transparent flesh melted in his mouth, sweet and sour, fragrant and fragrant, and the core of the fruit contained some pure spiritual energy, which was very beneficial to the cultivators.
The white-clothed monk looked out of the window at the shops along the street, thoughtfully.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Er walked over with nine dishes and a bowl of wriggling yellow-green spotted spirit butterfly larvae.
At this moment, a large slap mouse with gray fur and black ears jumped onto the whitefriar's table.
The white-clothed monk smiled: "Look at your monkey anxious look!" - it is Zhang Ning and Mickey, who are pseudonyms Bai Fan.
Xiao Er's wine and food were arranged, and he said: "Ice and Fire Ninefold Banquet, Bai Gongzi, please use it slowly." After saying that, he respectfully retreated.
First course: Snow Fat Ice – a snowdrift the size of a tea cup in a neon jade dish.
Zhang Ning used a crystal jade spoon to put a small spoonful of fine Xiaoice crystals into his mouth, which felt like snow powder with the fragrance of jasmine; with the passage of time, the taste and texture quickly changed, and after a while, he tasted like rose-flavored tofu, which was cool, soft and sweet; in the third stage, it turned into a lychee-flavored smoothie, chewed in the mouth, cold and sweet; if there was any leftover in the end, it would become a hard and transparent sandalwood-scented gelatinous solid in a tea time. There are shops in the mortal world that specialize in collecting these items to make accessories and sell them, and they are very profitable.
But this varied thing is not actually snow, tofu or smoothie, but the spinal cord of a fierce monster in the snow-capped mountains of the western highlands. Although the monster beast is stupid but very fierce, it is not easy to capture, after being captured alive, it needs to be transported all the way to a very low temperature, and the diner will only smoke the spinal cord alive on the spot after ordering, its meat is hard and smelly, and it can only be discarded after the spinal cord is extracted. The name of the ice is romantic and expensive, but behind it is very bloody and cruel.
Second course: Flying Fire - A palm-sized jade plate sits steadily on a burning purple cabbage the size of a wine cup.
Zhang Ning picked it up with brown jade chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, and before he could refuse, the burning vegetables rushed down Zhang Ning's esophagus by themselves, and the heat all the way was as if he had really swallowed a fiery briquette. The moment it fell into the stomach, the burning vegetables hit the ground like a crispy meteorite, bursting and splashing in an instant, and Zhang Ning felt that he heard the snapping sound of the pieces hitting the stomach wall.
But soon, the heat in the belly faded, and all that was left was a warm ironing.
Zhang Ning knew that this was a rare spirit plant with fire attributes, and the growing conditions were very harsh, so this dish was also expensive.
Third course: Cold Night Parade - In the transparent jade plate, the liquid bugs in the form of clear snot-like transparent mucus trembled slightly.
Zhang Ning swallowed one hard, and the cold and slippery insect turned into a chilling aura and began to swim along the meridians. Soreness, numbness, swelling and pain, it felt like acupuncture on the meridians, and there was a slight effect of expanding the meridians! Zhang Ning simply swallowed the whole plate of ice insects, and all the insects began to swim around the limbs, and the itchy and numb feeling of licking his heart and licking bones made him almost groan.
He gritted his teeth and picked up the next dish: a meteor shower, which resembled an ordinary plate of peanuts in red.
The meteor fire rain and the cold night parade of the previous dish are to be eaten together, and sure enough, after Zhang Ning poured the whole plate into his mouth, all the peanut-sized Zhu Guo roared towards each ice worm in his body, scattering the ice worms and fusing with them, turning them into pure spiritual power and strengthening the meridians.
Zhang Ning spent a cup of tea to finish pranayama, and his spiritual power increased slightly, but he still did not reach the critical point of knotting.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and these two dishes accounted for two-thirds of the price of the entire table.
Continue tasting.
The fifth path: cold fireworks - bright transparent star-like crystals, like cold fireworks bursting in the mouth and extending all the way down, but the Qihai Dantian is warm and quite useful.
Sixth Course: Blazing Fire - A multi-legged spirit animal with an orange-red goldfish, only its second pair of burning gastropods is taken and served on a plate with diners. The taste is fragrant and spicy, which reminds Zhang Ning of the shabu belly of his own world.
The seventh course: Ice maple - the leaves of the spirit wood Han maple on the ice field, which melt in the mouth, taste very much like mercury, and the taste is also similar.
The eighth course: lava - in fact, it is the blood of the fire lizard, hot and hot, like washing every taste bud with 100 degrees of boiling water, which is very exciting.
The ninth course is soup: the sea of ice and fire clouds - like a bowl of frozen seawater, above which a few flaming clouds float.
When eating, you need to immerse the fire cloud in the sea of ice, stir it slightly, and drink it immediately, the ice cubes and fire clouds in your mouth are blended with cold and hot without affecting each other, and the taste is fantastic.
Then Zhang Ning sighed and drank a glass of turquoise spirit wine.
Today, it has been three years since he came to the other world, and he is eighteen years old.
