"In order not to make the fire phoenix suspicious." Mu Xi sighed and continued: "During the trip to the Trial Forest, Huo Huang took all the possibilities into account, and also used this to tell me that she had to go to the Trial Forest.

If she is my disciple, I am worried about her safety, and it is logical to block her strongly.

But she's not, we're in a partnership, I shelter her, she brings me benefits.

Although this relationship is not explicit, we both know in our hearts that if I block it strongly, she will think about why I am doing it.

This child is very smart, and if she is suspicious and vigilant, not to mention that our previous efforts have been in vain, she will even be able to spy on the clues of what we are planning. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Xi paused, with a look of remorse on his face: "I shouldn't have used her to set up a situation against Mu Yan in the first place, so that my relationship with her has become only about interests, and there is no side to talk about." ”

After listening to the explanation, Ling Yin's face softened: "She is not only smart, but also very sober. ”

Mu Xi nodded in agreement, which could be seen from her research in cooking.

She knew very well that she could only survive in the state mansion if she brought huge benefits to the state mansion.

She never put her hope in others, and always relied on her own ability to stand in the state mansion.

"But don't worry, senior, I will arrange someone to protect her secretly."

Ling Yin nodded: "You look at the arrangement, I am going to retreat and refine the Restoration Pill, and I can't let her continue to stay in the kitchen." ”

Mu Xi has no opinion on this, anyway, the cooking class has been open for three years, and a group of cooks have been trained.

Among them, there is always someone who can take the place of Mr. Huohuang.

And, for these chefs who can take charge on their own, it's time to try to innovate.

A few days later, Huo Huang took a generous difference and got on the flying boat to the trial forest with the disciples who participated in the entrance examination of the four sects in the state capital.

The first level of the four introductory exams is to experience a month of training in the trial forest, and finally according to the number and quality of the test takers, the number and quality of the spirit plants harvested and the demon beasts killed, some test takers will be screened out.

After getting started, the four sects will decide where the disciples will go according to the root value of the spiritual root.

If the spiritual root is particularly excellent, it is natural to enter the inner gate, and the spiritual root is medium to high, and it is to enter the outer door, and those below the medium are miscellaneous disciples.

But even if you are a miscellaneous disciple, there are many casual cultivators scrambling, after all, you have entered the sect and have the protection of the sect.

Although the cultivation resources are small, it is stable, and as long as you work hard, you can also change from a miscellaneous servant to an outer disciple.

Fight again, maybe you can still enter the inner door.

More than 20 days later, Huohuang and his party finally arrived at the periphery of the trial forest.

The trial forest is very large, and standing on the flying boat, with the advantage of altitude, still can't see the end.

Directly below the flying boat, there was a trial square outside the forest, where many people had gathered.

The person who escorted Huohuang and his party over was Mu Ci, an elder of the state lord's mansion, who was cultivating during the merger period.

After he took the Lingzhou away, he took out the mobile house and smiled kindly: "Children, you go to rest first, and you will have Manager Liu to help you do it." ”

With everyone, Huohuang saluted Elder Mu Ci with a fist and entered the mobile house.

"Huohuang, I brought a lot of thorn spirit fruits, can you help me make a pound of thorn spirit fruit pie, a piece of grunt meat, and the rest of the thorn spirit fruits are yours, and I have prepared other materials."

The one who opened her mouth was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful girl named Mu Qing, the great-granddaughter of the ancestor of Mu Qian, the governor of the state capital.

Mu Qing's appearance is sweet, her voice is sweet, her personality is lively and pure, and she used to be classmates with Huohuang.

After Huohuang became a cook, he did not fall into the trap because of this, and his attitude remained the same.

And because of the delicious spiritual food, he has become a die-hard fan of the fire phoenix.

"Okay, you can give me the ingredients in a moment."

Huohuang didn't refuse, and when she saw that everyone else was also looking at it, she added: "If you also bring ingredients, you can also order one or two spiritual foods that you want to eat."

I'll do it for you, and the reward can be given directly to the spirit stone, or you can use the ingredients like Mu Qing. ”

The people who participated in the four entrance exams this time, excluding her, there were eight people, three women and five men.

There are not many people, and they are all her loyal fans, so she said this as a thank you for their support in the past.

The thorn spirit fruit is actually a pineapple, whether it is the taste and aroma of the flesh, or the appearance, it is almost the same, to say that there are two differences.

One is the volume, which is two or three times larger than the pineapple, and the second is the skin, which has hard thorns like rivets, so it is called the thorn fruit.

This kind of spiritual fruit is a precious spiritual fruit variety in the Tianlan realm, the flesh is sweet and sour, the fruit is pleasant, and the flesh contains a huge amount of spiritual energy.

But in a moment, Huo Huang had eight more storage bags in his hand, and the five men ordered the same spiritual food, which was marinated goods, and then each ordered a dish to eat at night.

The other two daughters among the three women, one ordered egg yolk crisp and the other ordered flower cake, and also ordered a dish each.

Huohuang took the storage bag and went to the kitchen to be busy, snacks or something, you can make it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is the day to enter the trial forest, it's too late.

Two days later, Huo Huang took the jade card of the Trial Forest, and entered the Trial Forest with Mu Qing and the others.

This trial forest is used by the four sects to assess their disciples, and it is blocked by the enchantment, and only those who hold the pass jade card can enter.

At the same time, this is also a teleportation jade card, which can be activated with a spirit stone, and it can be immediately teleported to the trial square.

Huohuang followed Mu Qing and his party for four days together, and finally met her target, a spice called Qixiang fruit.

The shape of this thing is very close to pepper, there is a strange fragrance, and the fragrance is not single, it is lemon, lemongrass, mint several aromas intertwined.

Huohuang picked some strange fragrant fruit to burn oil, and then used the oil burned by strange fragrant fruit to mix noodles for everyone to eat.

Several people were immediately conquered by the wonderful fragrance of the strange fragrant fruit, and then the fire phoenix began her performance.
