On the streets of Red Leaf City, today is particularly lively - today is the day when the Fengmen Sect accepts disciples from mortals.

An inconspicuous blue-shirted young man, mixed in with the flow of people, walked towards the Fengmen Sect.

The young man was carrying a frying pan on his back, and if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't have thought it was a weapon.

……

"Those who participate in the entrance test, please show your qualifications, and idlers are not allowed to cross the red line fence."

A middle-aged man with a maple leaf logo painted on his cuffs stood on a high platform and said down with the help of an amplified magic circle.

The entrance test of this Fengmen sect has always been known for being "fair, open, just, and transparent", and the whole process can be watched by anyone.

The test site, at the junction of the Fengmen Sect and the Red Leaf City urban area, is a large open area that has been mowed with weeds.

This open area is divided into four zones, and depending on the order of entry, the zone to which the test belongs will be.

There are a total of 1,000 qualifications for the entrance test issued by the Fengmen Sect this time, and there are more than 900 people left except those who did not show up for various reasons.

But the crowd of onlookers outside the test area is far more than that.

"Hey, barbecue master."

The blue-shirted young man with the pan on his back patted a baby-faced young man on the shoulder.

"Hey, Bai Anfan!"

The baby-faced young man turned his head to see the person who was coming, and his eyes lit up and blurted out.

This blue-shirted young man is none other than Bai Anfan.

"I told you, it's not a barbecue, it's Shang Kuan! Also, I just casually taught you some basic skills of barbecue, so I'm not a master. Besides, you're so badly baked, I don't want to recognize you as an apprentice. Hahaha, I finally know that it won't be like to be taught by others. ”

Shang Kuan was wearing a brown linen sweater and a pair of loose trousers, and he was grinning at this time, exactly like a sunny boy.

Zai Shang Kuan's words did not mean to mock Bai Anfan, just a simple joke between friends.

Hearing Shang Kuan's words, Bai Anfan scratched his head rarely, and seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't explain Shang Kuan's misunderstanding.

"It's okay, it's okay! It's the first time I've taught someone something. In the past, I used to ask others for advice, and then I was often scolded for my poor understanding skills. Hahaha! However, I will definitely join the Fengmen Sect and become the strongest cultivator! ”

Shang Kuan clenched his fists, although he was smiling, his eyes were full of determination.

"Well, I will definitely become the number one chef in the world."

When Bai Anfan saw Shang Kuan's appearance, he seemed to be a little infected.

"Hahaha, you are really interesting, in order to learn to cook, you actually came to participate in the test of the Immortal Cultivation Sect."

"Because I've heard that the chefs here are the best in the neighborhood."

"This is also true, after all, if you can cook the food of the immortal family, you must be much better than an ordinary chef."

……

Speaking of Shang Kuan's acquaintance with Bai Anfan, it was after the end of the Yuan Nian Conference, on Bai Anfan's way back to Red Leaf City.

At that time, Bai Anfan was hungry and was about to return to Red Leaf City to start his "stealing" eating journey again, but by chance, he happened to smell the aroma of Shang Kuan's barbecue.

It was a smell that dealt a critical blow to the hungry.

Bai Anfan immediately couldn't help but step forward to see if he could "befriend" the barbecue master.

After that, Shang Kuan, who was enthusiastic and helpful, not only invited Bai Anfan to eat barbecue for free, but also taught his barbecue experience to Bai Anfan without reservation:

"Do you know that the meat used for barbecue must be between six or four to seven or three points fat. Only after this kind of meat is roasted, will it achieve the perfect effect of "a mouthful full of oil, only crispy and not greasy". Also, after both sides are oily, you shouldn't continue to bake evenly on both sides......"

Then, with his assistance, Bai Anfan continued to practice barbecue in person:

"Come on, come on, sprinkle a handful of salt and try it. Hey, how do you sprinkle it into sugar! Oops, it's still not right, that's a stain remover ......"

Halfway, Bai Anfan almost gave up several times.

Shang Kuan: "Come on, you can taste the fruits of your labor yourself!" They all say that the food they make after hard work is the most delicious......"

Bai Anfan: "Gross! ”

Shang Kuan: "It's okay, let me prove it to you, the food you make is also edible!" It's a shameful thing to waste food. ”

After Bai Anfan successfully disgusted himself again and again, Shang Kuan would always eat the rest of his barbecue, and then kept telling him: "Don't give up, as long as you don't give up, you will definitely have a chance to succeed!" ”

As a result, until Shang Kuan, who never wasted food, vomited, Bai Anfan still did not make any progress.

"Don't give up!"

Bai Anfan kept Shang Kuan's words repeated in his mouth firmly in his heart, and then said goodbye to Shang Kuan, who was constantly looking for a place to solve his physiological problems.

If her mother-in-law knew about it, she would definitely regret that she couldn't prevent Bai Anfan from meeting Shang Kuan.

Because of this encounter between the two, Bai Anfan's only possibility of giving up cooking disappeared.

"The test is about to start, so I'll go back to my own district first, and come on for the test!"

"Yes, come on."

Bai Anfan unconsciously chatted with Shang Kuan for a while.

He always felt that he was comfortable chatting with ordinary people like Shang Kuan, and he would also get closer to his goal of being an ordinary person.

……

Just when Bai Anfan was still saying goodbye to Shang Kuan.

Among the people who participated in the entrance test, a girl with a maple leaf pattern on her clothes suddenly fell on the frying pan on Bai Anfan's back.

"This, this is the reward of the Yuan Nian Conference this year, refining the light cooking pot!?"

The girl carefully confirmed the pot on Bai Anfan's back several times, including the logo, texture, and color of the Spotlight Sect on it.

Finally, she was already sure that this pot was definitely the refining light cooking pot.

"Hello seniors, I am one of the examiners of this Fengmen Sect entrance test."

The girl respectfully bowed to Bai Anfan and continued:

"Are you sending someone to participate in our Maple Leaf Sect's entrance test?"

The girl's father was a peak master of the Fengmen Sect.

Yesterday, another old acquaintance of her father came to visit.

It just so happened that the senior had just finished participating in the Gen Nian Conference, and he had obtained the refining light cooking pot, and he showed it off in front of her father.

And the information on refining the light cooking pot, the girl got it from that senior.

"No, I'm also here to take the entrance test." Bai Anfan replied truthfully.

"Oh! It turned out to be a senior who came to visit, so please come with me, and I will take you to the special guest seat. If you are interested, I can wait for the test later, and my examiner rights can be fully entrusted to the seniors. The girl's attitude towards Bai Anfan was quite respectful.

As she spoke, she also glanced at the direction of Shang Kuan's departure, consciously or unconsciously.

Bai Anfan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted.

"My chief examiner's niece, can you start that entrance test? Your Uncle Wen likes to watch this kind of ...... the most White, white senior! Why are you here!? ”

The person who came was talking to the peak master's daughter first, but when he saw Bai Anfan clearly, he immediately exclaimed.

"Bai Senpai?"

This time it was the girl's turn to be stunned.

The one who spoke just now was the same old acquaintance who had come to her father yesterday.

In her opinion, both of them are strong people who can participate in the Yuan Nian Conference, and they should belong to the same level, but now her senior uncle actually calls the one in front of her "senior"?!

"Sorry, are you?"

Bai Anfan was a little surprised that he was recognized, he was sure that he had no impression of the middle-aged person in front of him.

"Senior Bai shouldn't know me, I'm Wen Bufu from the sixth group of the knockout round of the Yuannian Conference, and I was eliminated in the third round." Wen Bufu said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Uncle Wen, you go to your place and sit down first, I still have something to tell this white senior."

"Oh, oh! Okay, you speak slowly, not in a hurry. Then Senior Bai, I'll go over first. ”

After Bai Anfan nodded, Wen Bufu immediately walked in the direction he came from.

As I walked, I was still thinking about something.

"Senior Bai, can you be our Elder Keqing of Sword Peak?"

Seeing that Wen Bufu had already walked away, the girl suddenly bent down deeply towards Bai Anfan, raised her hand above her head, and bowed.

In her hand, a token that glowed with a pure gold sheen was presented.

It was the order of the Elder of the Hakka that her father had given her.

The peak master of Zhangjian Peak, that is, the father of the girl, handed over the order of Elder Keqing to her because of one news: the envoy of the top sect has started another round of "harvesting" of the genius monks of various small and medium-sized sects.

In the last thousands of years, every few years, there will be top-level sects and small and medium-sized sects to recruit monks with outstanding qualifications as their "special monks".

These selected monks still belong to the previous sect, but they must go to the top sect for ten years of free training.

At the end of the 10-year period, they can decide whether to stay or not.

Prior to this, neither the monk himself nor his sect had the right to refuse.

However, although these "special monks" were "forcibly taken away", almost no one would choose to return to their original sect after the ten-year period expired.

Even if the monks occasionally choose to return, it is because their blood relatives remain in the original sect.

Moreover, these returning monks did not mention their experiences in the top sects.

In this regard, there are many conjectures in the outside world, such as "the top sect has abundant cultivation resources and is unwilling to go back", "being brainwashed by secret methods", and "special training monks are exclusively for people to take away".

But no one has been able to provide any evidence for these conjectures.

But in fact, for small and medium-sized sects, they don't need the return of "Special Monks".

As long as those monks who go out can still have some feelings for the original sect because of the "mother sect plot", it will not be a loss for the small and medium-sized sects.

After all, the lack of cultivation resources of small and medium-sized sects made it impossible for geniuses to show their strength.

Only if these genius monks stay in the big sect can their potential be maximized, and they may even eventually become top monks.

As for those who are related to the people in the original sect, it is not to mention.

And the examiner girl in front of Bai Anfan belongs to this kind of genius monk.

Fengmen's current Zhangjian Peak, after missing a fairy sword named "Qingfeng", its strength is not as good as before.

If you want not to be swallowed up by other peaks and veins, you can only quickly replenish your strength.

And the quickest way to replenish your strength is to invite the powerful Elder Keqing.

Therefore, the girl got this Keqing Elder Token from her father, so that after she became a "Special Monk", she could take this token and try to "deceive" a Haqing Elder from the top sect to hold the Sword Peak for them.

However, even if she was chosen to go to the Imperial Sword Sect, she had "deceived" Elder Keqing, and when she came back, it would be ten years later.

The girl's intuition told her that ten years later, the Palm Sword Peak where her father was located would definitely no longer exist.

Therefore, the girl had no intention of obeying her father's arrangement at all.

From the moment she received the token, she was "searching" for the owner of the token all the time.

When the girl saw Bai Anfan before, her intuition told her that this stupid-looking senior was quite suitable to be the guest elder of Sword Peak.

And when she was about to try to send an invitation to Bai Anfan, she suddenly found that she couldn't rely on her intuition to sense his strength.

Therefore, the girl put the matter on hold for the time being.

But just now, she found out that her awesome Uncle Wen actually called Bai Anfan a "senior"!

Immediately, she didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately sincerely invited Bai Anfan.

"Elder Keqing, can you come and go and use the kitchen at will?" Bai Anfan asked seriously.
