A burnt smell came, Xue Wu looked, and saw the village chief squatting in front of a mini stove, the snow-white ginseng whiskers were stained with black ash, and his expression was frustrated, and the burnt smell was coming from the mushrooms in the pot.

Sensing Xue Wu's gaze, the village chief forcibly saluted his respect: "Hehe, the mushrooms I picked up today are too difficult to make." ”

Xue Wu couldn't help but smile, put away the soul card and walked over, "Village Chief, my cooking skills are not bad, do you want me to help?" ”

"Do you know how to cook? All right. The village chief happily gave up his place and handed her the stove.

Xue Wu looked at the remaining mushrooms in the basket and asked, "Do you just eat mushrooms?" ”

The village chief scratched his face embarrassedly, "I can only make mushrooms." "As a result, even the mushrooms were burned.

At this time, a fat hen walked by slowly, and Xue Wu's eyes lit up, "Is that your chicken?" Just enough to make a chicken stew with mushrooms. Ah, I forgot to ask you, do you eat meat? ”

As a ginseng plant, it should be a vegetarian, right? Xue Wu was a little unsure.

Who knew that the village chief was categorical: "Eat!" I eat everything. I grew out of the soil, and those plants and animals rotted in the soil after they died, and they all turned into nutrients for me to absorb? So I don't have anything to taboo about. ”

Xue Wu thought about it and felt so.

She grabbed the hen, killed it and bleed, boiled a pot of boiling water and soaked the hen in it, so that the feathers on the hen could be easily plucked out.

After soaking for a while, she neatly plucked the feathers off the hen's body, even the deep and small fluff on the chicken's buttocks.

Ten minutes later, a smooth and tender chicken came out.

While cleaning the internal organs of the chicken's belly, Xue found a crystal the size of a fingernail, like a diamond.

What is this? Stones in the body of chickens?

"Village Chief, what is this?"

"Oh, it's a soul crystal."

It turns out that this is the soul crystal! It's beautiful.

Xue Wu was about to hand the soul crystal to the village chief, but he didn't care, "You can keep it, it's just a white soul crystal, it's not worth anything." ”

Xue Wu put it in her pocket and continued to handle the chicken.

Pass the whole chicken with boiling water, chop it into pieces of suitable size, put it in a pot and boil it, then remove it.

In another pot, stir-fry the ginger slices, green onions, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, etc. until fragrant.

Although the village chief is not good at cooking, he has a heart to become a chef, and all kinds of ingredients and side dishes prepared at home are quite complete, and he has also cultivated a small vegetable plot, ginger and green onions are freshly picked from the ground.

Maybe because this is the soul world, many spices that are not available in reality can be found here. Looking at the village chief's kitchen with all the spices, Xue Wu couldn't help but be envious.

Pour the previously blanched chicken into the pan and stir-fry over low heat. Stir-fry until the chicken is slightly yellow and shiny, then pour in soy sauce and stir-fry to color.

When stir-frying, the aroma of the ingredients will be stimulated to the maximum, and the village chief will be in front of the pot stove, and the smell will not be good, and his head will be stuck into the pot.

Xue Wu was helpless and funny: "Village Chief, you should stand far away, so as not to be splashed by the soup in the pot." ”

Village Chief: "It's okay, it can't burn me, how long will it take to get better?" ”

"It's going to be better for a while."

Hearing this, the beards on the village chief's head wilted.

Xue Wu poured boiling water into the pot, covered the chicken, then added the washed mushrooms, covered the pot and cooked over high heat.

The soup clatters under the lid of the pot, and white water vapor emerges from underneath, bringing an indescribable aroma.

The village chief took a deep breath, and all the white vapor was actually sucked into his mouth, and he closed his eyes, revealing an intoxicated expression like a cultivator.

After Xue Wu was amused, she couldn't help but feel a wave of sympathy, this village chief looked like he was at least a thousand years of ginseng, and he had become a sperm, but he showed such an expression in the face of an ordinary chicken stewed mushroom, and he didn't have anything good to eat.

Taking advantage of the chicken stew, Xue Wu asked the village chief for questions, and at the same time diverted his attention.

"Village Chief, what is a soul crystal?"

"Soul crystal, all living beings in this soul world have soul crystals in their bodies, and soul crystals are the same as soul cards, the color is from white to gold, and the level is from low to high...... In short, it is very useful. ”

"All living beings in the soul realm have soul crystals in their bodies? Wouldn't we have it too? ”

"That's right, so when you go out of the village in the future, you have to be careful when you walk outside, if someone kills someone and takes away the soul crystal, then you will die, your soul will die, and your body outside will not survive."

Xue Wu was shocked, she didn't expect the soul realm to be so dangerous.

She asked again, "What is the basis for judging the level of soul power?" ”

The village chief glanced at her with a little surprise, "You have already activated the soul card?" ”

If you don't activate the soul card, you won't know the soul power level.

Generally, it takes a lot of effort for newcomers to activate the soul card, so he didn't teach her immediately, but thought about waiting until he finished eating and then told her that it was not too late, but he didn't expect her to succeed in tinkering with it herself, it seems that she is quite talented in the control and use of soul power.

"Well, if you're referring to seeing your own information on the soul card."

"What's your nickname?"

"Zhao Xiaoxian, you can just call me Xiaoxian."

"Well, my name is Shen 8000, because I am 8,000 years old, and when I reach 9,000 years old, I will change it to Shen 9,000, and when I am 10,000 years old, I will be called Shen 10,000, hehe."

Xue Wan: "......"

This sudden sand sculpture atmosphere.

But the village chiefs are already 8,000 years old? Xue Yu glanced at the humanoid ginseng in front of her again, and was really shocked.

"By the way, what did you ask me just now?"

"Soul power level."

"Oh, the level of soul power, it is naturally judged according to the strength of the soul body, the stronger the soul body, the higher the strength, and the higher the soul power level. There are a total of nine levels of soul power, from level one to level nine, level one is the weakest, and level nine is the strongest. ”

"Isn't the soul power level of most newcomers the lowest level 1?"

"That's right, but there are exceptions, some people are born with stronger souls than others, and after entering this soul realm, they can improve their soul power level through cultivation."

Xue Wu's heart moved, her initial level was level 2, maybe it had something to do with the fact that she had lived two lives.

She asked again, "Grandpa the village chief, what kind of place is the soul realm?" ”

"There are countless worlds in the universe, large and small, and I am from one of them called 'Great Relic', and the rest of our village is from other worlds, and basically everyone is in a different world. And the soul realm can be said to be the most special world, it can only accommodate soul bodies, and these soul bodies are all from other worlds.

"It's huge, bigger than any world I know, and our Salted Fish Village only occupies a very, very small area."

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked, "Do you know why our village is called Salted Fish Village?" ”
