Chapter 398: Extreme Taste Mark
Li Zijun was ready to deal with the magic attack as quickly as possible, but he soon found that the four magic elements gathered and scattered, scattered and gathered around the boss, and this guy didn't seem to have the intention of releasing magic.
Could it be that he was waiting for an answer? With this thought, Li Zijun immediately spread his 'sense of touch'.
The surroundings were as calm as they had been when they came here, and Rodney didn't show anything out of the ordinary!
What the hell is going on? Li Zijun felt completely confused.
It didn't take long for the active magical element to regain its calm, and the owner of the restaurant came over with his food.
"How about it, do you dare to taste it?" The restaurant owner casually put the food on the table, looked at Li Zijun and asked with a little provocation.
At this time, Rodney was still unaware of the repositioning of the food, and Li Zijun understood that he was once again excluded from his conversation with the restaurant owner.
"Why not!" Li Zijun smiled faintly at the boss's gaze, and casually picked up the mutton soup on the table and sent it to his mouth.
Last time, it could be said that it was an unintentional mistake, but this time Li Zijun can be said to be doubly careful, but after the worst, he still failed to find out when the restaurant owner did something. This kind of magical cultivation is already far above him, and the other party really doesn't need to use any shady means, Li Zijun drank this bowl of mutton soup boldly with confidence.
As the soup entered, Li Zijun was stunned for a moment, and then an extremely surprised expression appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at the restaurant owner next to him with a face full of disbelief.
"How did you do that?" Li Zijun had unconsciously used honorifics to the boss at this time.
"It is said that Dongyu's Grand Duke Edlaide is extremely smart and has a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts! You might as well guess how I did it?" the restaurant owner looked at Li Zijun with the eyes of the school examination and asked softly.
Li Zijun did not give a direct answer. He tore another piece of smoked rabbit and lamb chops and tasted them, and then sighed softly.
"The seniors are smart, the juniors have been taught!" Li Zijun got up and bowed respectfully to the boss.
Through the tasting just now, Li Zijun has already roughly guessed the method of these dishes.
First of all. The boss took advantage of the pervasive nature of the magic element to control the water magic to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the ingredients. Blood stains on the outside of the food and in all capillaries will be cleaned up in the process. In this way, he minimizes the influence of blood stains and residual internal organs on the ingredients during the cooking process;
Secondly, he 'directs' the wind magic element to 'smear' the spice evenly inside and outside the ingredients. So. It also saves the necessary marinating time of the ingredients, which greatly retains the freshness of the ingredients;
Next, he used earth-based magic elements to wrap the ingredients in moderation. This kind of wrapping is more effective, not only to ensure that the excess oil in the ingredients will be discharged, but also to block the overflow of the flavor of the ingredients;
Finally, activate the fire-based magic element that has been hidden in the ingredients. Cook the ingredients inside and out at the same time!
These steps are not complicated to say. But once they do it, without advanced magical cultivation, years of cooking experience, and a thorough understanding of the essential characteristics of each ingredient, it is impossible to make these dishes in front of them!
Not to mention the latter two conditions, in terms of magic cultivation alone, Li Zijun himself knew very well that there was a huge gap between him and this ordinary-looking restaurant owner! This was also the most fundamental reason why he got up and saluted the boss!
"Are you really taught? Tell me, what exactly have you been taught?" The restaurant owner did not let Li Zijun go in the slightest, and his question seemed aggressive.
Li Zijun is not very old. But he had become accustomed to the respect of those around him. He almost forgot when he lowered his body. He was still being pressed like this! A little unhappiness rose in his heart.
"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, fresh, salty, astringent, it seems that you have suffered in vain in the past few days!" The restaurant owner's words were like an enlightenment, which made Li Zijun shake up and down.
"The junior is stupid, and he can't understand what you mean for a while, can you say it more clearly?" Li Zijun put away his pride and humbly asked the boss for advice.
"If I'm right, the Seven Extreme Flavors have left a clear mark on your body, and you've been trying to get them out of your body?"
"They are the marks of the seven extreme flavors, is there anything wrong with my approach?" Li Zijun didn't expect the boss to know so much about his body, and he immediately asked.
"Big problem!"
"Being able to achieve today's achievements at your age certainly has a lot to do with your quality and diligence, but I think the main reason is that you have found an effective cultivation method!"
Hearing this, Li Zijun's heart began to turn upside down, but he was still pretending to be calm on the surface.
"This method not only enables you to double cultivate magic and martial arts, but also helps you achieve extraordinary achievements!Minor Sword Saint, even if you are not a 'no one to come', you are definitely 'no one before!'" The restaurant owner's words made Li Zijun slightly complacent.
"It is precisely for this reason that your body unconsciously increases the demand for fighting energy, and not only that, but I even feel that the magic elements in your body have a tendency to turn into some kind of support for martial arts power! If it weren't for your kid being diligent enough, your magic cultivation would probably not advance but retreat!"
"You don't need to explain to me, I've found the path that suits me best, and I don't want to be influenced by you!" the restaurant owner raised his hand to stop Li Zijun from telling his cultivation method.
"There is nothing wrong with the mutual conversion of energy, but if it is only a one-sided conversion, it will be a pity, and it will not play a positive role in your development in magic. ”
"Of course, these are just some of my personal opinions. After entering the Holy Stage, basically no one can give you exact guidance anymore, and it is more up to you to figure it out on your own!"
"Thank you so much for your teachings, but I still don't quite understand, what does this have to do with those seven Extreme Taste Marks in my body?"
"The energy that can be used by people in this world can be roughly divided into several categories?" the restaurant owner smiled and asked Li Zijun rhetorically.
"Fighting energy, four-system magic, light, darkness, wood magic, and necromancy, I probably know these things. ”
"Wood magic is derivative magic, and the power of undead magic is the soul, and it doesn't actually belong to our world!"
"In this way, there are only seven energies left that can be used by humans, such as light, darkness, four-system magic, and fighting energy!"
"You're not trying to tell me that the seven flavors are the existence forms of these seven different energies, right?!" Li Zijun asked with wide eyes as he looked at the restaurant owner in surprise.
"Why don't you try it yourself?"
"Now there are less than forty days left before you return to the level of the Sword Master, this time is precious to you, I hope to see a new you then!"
"According to you, it's a good thing that I was tortured by the 'Extreme Taste Worm' this time?"
"Of course it's a good thing! Especially for you! As long as you use it properly, you can not only close the gap between your own magic and martial arts, but also lay a solid foundation for your future development!"
"I lend you good luck!"
"It's just that I don't understand, I've never known you all my life, what are you for, what are you for?" Li Zijun's face turned red when he said this, and he didn't know how to continue.
"Why would I be willing to point you out?!, huh?" said the restaurant owner, reaching out and taking something out of his bosom.
"'Source of Magic'? How could it be in your hands?" Li Zijun said in surprise.
In the hands of the restaurant owner was the 'source of magic power' that Li Zijun had lent to Ted Fa Sheng, and he didn't understand why this thing suddenly came here.
"Ted borrowed the 'Source of Magic' from you, and I entrusted him with it. After the deadline he agreed with you expired, he rushed to Dongyu several times, but he passed by you every time!"
During this time, Li Zijun has almost been running around, and he has even forgotten about the 'source of magic power'. Hearing the boss's explanation, Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"When he was here with me this time, he happened to hear that you had also come to Ziqing, but he was in a hurry to rush back to Menglin, so he left the 'Source of Magic Power' and asked me to transfer it to you myself!"
"I've almost never left this place over the years, and I also want to go outside, but before I can leave, something happened to you again! I thought we would miss each other, but I didn't expect you to come to me today. ”
"Ted said before he left that you were the most likely to be promoted to the rank of Dharma Saint among the juniors he came into contact with! ”
"He hopes that I can give you some help, and I am naturally happy to 'give people roses'!" said the restaurant owner as he returned the 'source of magic power' to Li Zijun's hands.
Knowing the connection, Li Zijun was slightly embarrassed by his suspicion just now, and he smiled bitterly and took the 'source of magic power' into his arms.
"I've known this kid for many years, he can be trusted, he has some means, and this time I can see that he really wants to help you. With your wits and his cover for you, getting through those levels shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Giving you the 'Source of Magic', my mind has finally been put down. After all these years, it's time for me to go out and take a look. Let's leave it at that, I hope that the next time we see you, you've achieved your goal!" the restaurant owner patted Li Zijun lightly on the shoulder, turned around and prepared to leave.
