Chapter 22 The wolf god is welfare
After the mountain grapes dried in the shade, they were crushed and sealed in a bamboo tube to ferment quietly, Liu Ci poked a honeycomb in the forest, and retrieved a bamboo tube of honey and a bunch of bee pupae with a full head bag.
Honey was added to the grape juice by her, and it stands to reason that rock sugar should be added, and it is better to add honey than to ferment the grape juice into vinegar in expediency. As for the pile of bee pupa, Liu Ci was very puzzled by the record in the food chapter, when the food was sufficient, she didn't need to eat something that made her heart unhappy, a pot of delicious fried bee pupae all went into the stomach of the silver wolf, the latter was very satisfied with the taste, and repeatedly said that the amount was too small, just enough for it to stuff between the teeth.
Liu Ci took a deep breath again and again, deciding not to deal with the greedy silver wolf.
Just looking at the queen chef of the silver wolf, she has no scruples about the activities of the whole mountain, which is enough for Liu Ci to endure the pickiness of the silver wolf.
The first was a major breakthrough in species collection, with the discovery of sweet potatoes and wild wheat. The former is no different from what is recorded in the "Qi Min Yaoshu", and the latter is not very similar to the wheat recorded in the agricultural book after several generations of artificial cultivation. The wild plants found by Liu Ci are slender and the wheat grains are too small, so the yield will not be very good at first glance.
However, Liu Ci still carefully pinched back a few wild ears of wheat, anyway, the ears of wheat were ripe, and any more wheat grains should fall into the soil.
The weather is getting cooler, and it stands to reason that the summer life of the silver wolf should have come to an end long ago. I don't know if it's because I can't bear the barbecue that Liu Ci makes, or if the silver wolf needs a chat friend, after Liu Ci changes into an autumn shirt, the silver wolf still appears from time to time, bringing prey to fight tooth sacrifices.
After Liu Ci exclaimed how could the demon beast not have a demon core, the wolf god gave her popular science knowledge.
Not every demonic beast will have a magic core, the proportion is about three tenths, Liu Ci was able to obtain two magic cores in a row before, and the shit he stepped on when he was lucky must be huge.
After learning that Liu Ci needed a magic core, the silver wolf could pick a demon beast with a magic core in his body to catch when hunting, and quickly gathered the remaining three elements of gold, earth, and wood for her. Curious, I asked the silver wolf why it didn't eat the magic core, didn't it have the urgent need for advancement?
The wolf god hesitated for a while before replying: If you eat too much demon core, you will be in a worse mood in winter!
Liu Ci remembered the scene of killing and abuse, and quickly zipped his mouth. Relying on devouring the advanced level, it will affect the spiritual wisdom drops. It turns out that the more high-level demonic beasts are, when their minds are clear, they don't have low-level demonic beasts that are thirsty for killing, they can already control the greed in their hearts to frantically devour the same kind of energy to advance, and they rely more on their own cultivation, perhaps looking for magic potions in the depths of the mountains and forests to help them advance.
The silver wolf doesn't want a magic core, and the valuable treasures outside the mountain range are cheap Liu Ci, to be precise, they are cheaper than the Chaos Lotus in the sea of knowledge. According to one a day, there are dozens of demon cores that are always digested by the Chaos Lotus, and one of its crumpled leaves slowly stretches, but there is still no trace of the flower bones. At the same time, the aura in the air of the lotus pond was so abundant that it became a thick and viscous mist, which made her worry that the mist would wet the two ancient books.
Serious! No matter how smart a person is, there are times when he commits two mistakes, and Liu Ci is no exception.
After receiving dozens of magic cores of high quality at first sight, cheeky people like Liu Ci felt that their cheeks were hot, and the wolf god couldn't help but send out dozens of magic cores, and the harvest and the effort were really not proportional.
When the leaves were yellow, after hearing Liu Ci say that cooking lacked saltiness, the silver wolf asked clearly that the salt in Liu Ci's mouth was salty, shiny white particles, and left silently without saying anything.
After two hours, he returned with a large piece of salt crystal, and Liu Ci was dumbfounded.
There is an ancient legend in the Earth Federation that once upon a time, there was a poor ghost young man who had nothing and picked up a tattered magic lamp, no matter what he wanted, as long as he wiped the magic lamp and prayed to the lamp god, the lamp god would grant his wish. The story is very YY very white, and the name is "Aladdin's magic lamp".
Before the crossing, Liu Ci simply scoffed at this story, and at this time, he was excited, and he wanted to rush up and hug the thigh of the wolf god and beg for touch.
Give you a safe area, give you a demon core, give you salt, the wolf god is great, aren't you really the devil who came to tempt people to completely fall for nothing?
The devil tempts people to fall because they have a soul that they do not have, and what about the silver wolf, its strength is unfathomable, and what will it lack...... But don't talk about the soul to your sister, that thing will melt into your wine pool and meat forest long before the crossing.
Salt crystals certainly didn't come out of conjure.
Salt is an indispensable substance for humans and animals, and some plants originally contain some of it to a greater or lesser extent. The animals in the forest will go to the salt lake every once in a while to lick the salt crystals to replenish the salt, Liu Ci as an outsider, her understanding of the forest is sometimes not as good as an aboriginal deer, not to mention the monster like the silver wolf that has lived for many years, after listening to Liu Ci's description of "salt", she will soon be able to bring it back.
Liu Ci asked about the location of the salt-alkali lake, the silver wolf flicked his tail and pointed to the west, the lakeside where a large number of salt crystals were produced was separated by two mountains, and with her current skills, she went on the road alone, that is the real way to go.
Two mountains away? Walking out of this mountain range, the dense demonic beasts are waiting to hunt at any time, Liu Ci didn't want to be strong, and obediently took the salt crystal and eliminated the plan to go to the salt alkali lake in person.
Saline-alkali land will also be accompanied by a sulfate mineral called "miscanthus nitrate", the method of nitrate leather recorded in the "Qi Min Yaoshu", in which "nitrate" refers to the miscanthus nitrate. The weather is getting cooler, winter is approaching again in the blink of an eye, and Liu Ci's rabbit fur coat has not yet landed...... No matter how thick-skinned she is, she also knows that there is a word called "enough is enough", and the matter of manganese salt, let's wait and talk.
Salty is the first of the five flavors, and after having the salt crystals brought back by the silver wolf, Liu Ci made some cured meat. After a few days, the remaining salt is washed off and the water is dried, and the wet pine branches are smoked, and the aroma of the pine bacon fills the air. It just so happened that Liu Ci's wine had been fermented into a dark red wine after many clarification lees, and the wine was slightly viscous with honey, which was a little different from the wine she had drunk before the crossing, but the flaws were not concealed, and overall the first winemaking was very successful.
- One-third of the grape juice sealed in the bamboo tube has become a "fruit vinegar" that cannot be swallowed, and I will talk about this kind of shameful thing everywhere, hum!
The wine is open, the smoked meat is served, and the ham with dried bamboo shoots is delicious. Liu Ci improved the recipe by dicing smoked meat instead of ham, spreading dried bamboo shoots on the bottom of the pot, piling diced meat on top of it, infusing it with a broth made from pheasants, and adding a moderate amount of wine.
"Cook a good dish today!" Seeing the silver wolf staring at him, Liu Ci covered the pot lid and clapped his hands to explain.
While waiting for the bamboo shoots to simmer and bacon dice, Liu Ci was not idle, but seized the time to exhale and practice qi.
The "welfare" of the silver wolf hair has helped a lot, after the Chaos Lotus absorbs a large number of demon cores, the aura in the lotus pond water has become very considerable, the cooking food is limited by the laws of the magic world, and the aura in the ingredients is tightly locked without worrying about loss, Liu Ci continues to practice diligently every day, and the aura contained in the ingredients is more, and the more aura she can refine with the same amount.
The feeling of the wood aura circulating in the meridians is wonderful, and now every time she finishes cultivating, a layer of black-brown stinky sweat will appear, and the aura in the meridians is sufficient and no longer tight, and Liu Ci does not hesitate to share some of the impurities in the body. If she can control her mouth and only eat the aura plant, slowly the impurities in her body will only become less and less, until finally her body is clear and no longer dragged down by the appetite of her mouth. I heard that the immortals are all eating and drinking, thinking about it is really bitter, telling Liu Ci to give up his life and enjoy the days of asceticism, it is better to kill her!
After the accumulation of these days, the aura in the meridians was full, and with Liu Ci's mind, she moved flexibly, and it was only at this time that she had some shelves in the middle of qi training.
There are several major realms of cultivation, and each realm is divided into three small realms: "primary, middle, and post". In the early stage of qi training, it refers to touching the aura that fills the heavens and the earth, channeling qi into the body, and tempering the physical body. At this time, the aura is mostly stored in the monk's bones and musculature, and the aura in the meridians is stationary. With the subsequent cultivation, when the spiritual energy in the body has accumulated a sufficient amount, and the spiritual energy in the meridians slowly moves along with the practice route, and finally forms a cycle, it means that the monk has officially entered the middle stage of qi training. In the later stage of Qi training, the meridians are broadened, the spiritual body is warm, and the cultivator's qi and blood are full, and they are ready for mortals to leapfrog towards cultivators.
Compared with the later Jiedan, the small realm of Qi training period has an additional "Great Perfection Realm of Qi Training", which specifically refers to the period before the accumulation of aura in the later stage of Qi training to the extreme, and before the formal foundation is built.
Qi cultivators can already learn "magic techniques", understand one or two kinds of big road goods talismans, and can also step on flying swords and stand in the air, which is the like of immortals for ordinary people. However, in the cultivation realm, only monks who have successfully built a foundation will recognize them as "the same kind" and call them Taoist friends, and the "foundation building period" is regarded as crossing the threshold of mortal status. Build the foundation and build the foundation, and it is the foundation that is built!
It is all because of the aura in the body of the qi cultivator, with one point less than one point, after consumption, it is all supplemented by continuing to refine the aura of heaven and earth. And once the monk builds the foundation, as long as the qi sea in the dantian is not destroyed, under the continuous circulation, the aura used will slowly recover itself, and the energy level will also undergo qualitative changes.
……
The scent of the pot from the cracks in the lid woke her up from her slumber. Open the lid of the pot, the dried bamboo shoots simmered in the wine juice and the bacon are already cooked, the wine will soak the dried bamboo shoots through and dye, the salty aroma of the bacon is set off by the wine shoots, the meat is fat and thin, the dried bamboo shoots absorb the fat and are moderately soft and hard, the salty with a hint of sweetness, and the aftertaste is the mellow aroma of the wine...... The things she made before were mainly used for belly cultivation, and what really touched people's taste buds was not only the deliciousness of the dish itself, but also the sincerity of the chef.
Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine. Before the new era of the Federation, there was a great poet Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty of China, who was obsessed with food, and every time he heard that someone's food was distinctive, he would send the cook at home to ask for advice sincerely. In the past 40 years, he has collected the strengths of many families and written the book "Sui Yuan Food List", which can be described as a real gourmet. When it comes to enjoying life, Liu Ci has no soul before crossing, and it is inevitable that he will laugh at everyone.
The silver wolf was very satisfied, and Liu Ci was full of worries.
Although it seems that her situation is very safe under the protection of the silver wolf at this time, how can there be a banquet in the world?
Liu Ci wanted to have his own power, and the more aura in the meridians, the stronger his desire to learn talismans.
Where exactly can you find cinnabar? She cast her eyes on the silver wolf, and it was no wonder that the monster didn't like to deal with people, humans were really long, and the red fruit was not greedy enough.
