Text Chapter 4 Pork Chops (Hope Collection Recommendation)
Morse City is one of the several major hubs of the Qingcheng Empire, where spiritual treasures and spirit beasts from all over the world are gathered. As long as you have the money, you can even buy a humanoid demon fox. They are in high demand here, and many royal nobles are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them back.
Starting from Luoxia City, there is only one way to Morse City, passing through the Heavenly Forest. Then follow the mountain west for a day's journey to your destination.
The personnel of the Fifth Academy have been walking along the mountain road for a day, and the academy does not provide mounts for students, most of their mounts are provided by their own families, and second-order fierce beast mounts are very common. Among the more than 20 people, only Chuncheng rode an old horse and slowly followed the back of the team. Generally, when a creature like a horse encounters a fierce beast, not to mention the second order, even the first order will also have the suppression of the species, and they dare not walk and are afraid. But these are not reflected in the old horse at all, sometimes idle, and go to play with the tail of the saber-toothed tiger in front of him, making a burst of people flying and jumping.
"Elder Qingluan, tell us about the cyclone, I think why are the cyclones of Elder Jin and Elder Qiu golden and red?" Hu Ben's voice was a little dull and asked Qingluan in front of him.
Qingluan and his group of six people walked at the back of the team, her mount is the unified standard multicolored elk of the academy, which belongs to the fourth-order fierce beast, but the attack power is not as good as the second-order, and the main role is to travel long distances, so it has become the sought-after mount of the major academies.
"There will be a teacher in charge of the basic course to explain to you when you come to the academy, since you want to know so much, I will briefly introduce it to you. Qingluan rode the elk to the middle of the five people, so that everyone could hear his speech clearly.
"The cultivation of the cyclone is divided into four major stages: Qi Martial Artist, Qi Xuan, Qi Spirit, and Qi Emperor, and each stage is divided into three small levels: upper, middle, and lower. If you want to break through this stage, you must break through the number of cyclones in your body to exceed 10 to enter the Qi Warrior stage. And every time you break through a large rank, the abilities you gain will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the Qi Emperor has the power to move mountains and create seas. Qingluan paused and continued.
"A cyclone is the source of strength between heaven and earth, and everyone's cyclone qualifications are strong or weak. It can be divided into four qualifications: ordinary, excellent, perfect, and legendary, and the better the cyclone qualification, the smaller the bottleneck and the easier it is to break through when breaking through the big stage. Although the cyclone qualification is innate, it is not immutable, and there are many spiritual treasures in the world that can change their qualifications, but it is even more difficult to obtain this spiritual treasure. ”
"Next, there's what you call the nature of cyclones. There is no attribute distinction in the Qi cultivation stage, and once you break through to the Qi Martial Artist stage, you will have to face the choice of choosing attributes. The properties are divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These are the five attributes that are majoring on the continent today. In addition, there are also light, dark, and thunder attributes, and the generation of these three attributes will be shown when breaking through the qi martial artist, and in the entire Qingcheng Empire, the total number of people with these three attributes does not exceed 10. ”
"Elder, can't you have two attributes at the same time?" It was Lin Tao who spoke, his appearance was mediocre, and the most prominent thing was his big nose. This part of the whole face is especially prominent, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and food is thrown into the mouth from time to time.
"The cultivation of multiple attributes is strictly forbidden in the Empire. Many of the teachers who worked in this area were dethroned by the Empire and expelled from the outlying lands. So don't have this kind of thinking in the future, let alone this kind of topic. Qing Luan's tone suddenly became harsh, the imperial ban was a sharp knife hanging over everyone's head.
"The Qi cultivators of the Windy City Empire are mainly cultivating with two or more attributes, and the consequence is that a large number of Qi cultivators go mad, burning, killing, robbing, raping, lewd, and plundering, and do all kinds of evil. Now it has become the main siege target of the Qingfeng Empire and other surrounding empires, and now the empire has achieved a lot of results, so don't touch the red line of multi-attribute cultivation. Qingluan made a loud voice and looked serious.
The faces of the five people were different, Hu Ben, Lin Tao and Mu Sheng should have heard this for the first time, and they seemed very cautious, nodding their heads from time to time to express their approval. However, Yang Liu's expression was a little angry, and his hands were tightly clutching the beast rope in his hand. Keep your head down and be silent.
Chuncheng was obviously absent-minded about this, taking a few sips of wine from time to time, and taking a long straw and gently scratching the old horse's wet nose. It made the old horse sneeze non-stop.
The speed of the team is very fast, the sun is setting, and it has reached the remote area of the Heavenly Domain Forest, and today the team is ready to camp here to rest, and it is not a good plan to enter the forest at night. Many fierce beasts above the 5th order mostly haunt at night, although there are five Qi Spirit Elders here, but the number of students is too large, and accidents will inevitably occur.
The bonfire rises in stark contrast to the dark night. The squads also began to prepare dinner, mostly from home, such as air-dried meat.
Chuncheng looked at the food in front of him without appetite and felt tasteless. He whispered to the tiger who was eating dried meat with his head down, "I'll go out and help me talk to the elders." ”
"What are you doing, Brother Chuncheng. Tiger Ben chewed on the jerky in his mouth, and the rest of the people were also watching.
Chuncheng didn't answer, turned to leave, his body was light, and he disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Elder Qingluan was negotiating with the other four elders about tomorrow's route, how to avoid high-level beasts and reach their destination more quickly. When he returned to his camp, he suddenly found that there was one person missing, and it was Spring City with legendary qualifications, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Where's Spring City?" Qingluan said to a few people.
He said to go out. Tiger Ben looked at the anxious elder, the hurried answerer.
"You guys, why don't you stop it, this is the Heavenly Forest, known as the burial place of qi cultivators. How can it be so messy. Qingluan was obviously in a hurry, if this top-seeded genius was lost in his own hands, the academy couldn't afford to blame him.
The other four all bowed their heads, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Elder, I'm back" Before he could finish speaking, he saw a black figure appear from the darkness, dragging something in his hand. When I got close to the bonfire, I realized that it was Spring City.
Dragged on the ground was a wild boar of more than 200 catties, and its fangs were more than three feet long. There were no scars on his body, but apparently he was dead and couldn't die anymore. I don't know how it was slaughtered, the strength of this wild boar should be between the first-order and second-order fierce beasts. If a Qi cultivator wants to kill alone, there must be more than 2 people to do so. But for Spring City, it's easy.
"Elder, I'm hungry, look for some food. As he spoke, Chuncheng motioned to Hu Ben to hand over the dagger on his body.
Qingluan looked at the cyclone qualification genius in front of her, it seemed that this actual combat technique was also very good, and she was actually able to single-handedly take on this fierce beast that was close to the second level, if she knew that Chuncheng herself would have been able to single out the third-order fierce beast, I don't know if she would drop her jaw in shock.
"This is the Heavenly Forest, no more than anywhere else, there are dangers everywhere. In the future, it is not allowed to leave the team and act without authorization. Although Qingluan's words were harsh, there was a faint joy on his face.
"Hmm. Chuncheng bowed his head to answer, holding a dagger in one hand, and quickly handled the wild boar under him. The knife is skillful, the knife skills are exquisite, and a whole piece of pigskin is perfectly removed. Next, after the internal organs and blood of the pig are cleaned, three wooden sticks are directly found and interspersed with the entire pig body to form a large pork chop. I made a simple stand next to the campfire and put it on it to start baking.
Everyone was shocked by Chuncheng's movements, and watched him blankly deal with this wild boar, especially Qingluan, who had a good life in the academy, and didn't need to make food by himself at all. And with this rough technique in front of him, Mali's movements can give birth to a trace of beauty.
Under the roasting of the fire, the lard made a sizzling sound, and it continued to drip onto the flames, which made the flames even more violent. The scent gradually spreads throughout the camp as the breeze blows. The spices that Spring City picks from around the camp are added to the pigs every once in a while, enriching the flavor of the food.
Yang Liu looked at the delicious food in front of him, and had already thrown away the tasteless jerky in his hand, staring straight at the pork chops in front of him with his eyes, and kept swallowing saliva in his mouth.
The outside of the pork chop turns golden brown and fragrant. Chuncheng took the dagger and cut it on the pig's body, and after cutting through the crispy skin outside, he easily entered the soft meat inside, and the fat had been roasted by the fire with a very textured texture, and it was not flowing with the dagger to the fire - the secret wild boar chop was completed.
The fragrance not only attracted the attention of the people of the Wood Courtyard, but naturally there were other people's attention, and the other four elders had already paid attention to this place from the first moment the fragrance appeared. When the wild boar chops were ready, Elder Qiu Li rushed the fastest, one moment he was still tasting the secret braised pork that Li Mu brought from home, and the next moment he flew to the side of the pork chops.
The students of the other academies were also attracted by this delicacy, and the elders could be presumptuous, but none of them had yet started to nibble on the jerky in their hands. The most unlucky one belonged to Li Mu, who had just dedicated his hospitality to Elder Qiuli, but was interrupted by Chuncheng like this, and his heart was itching with hatred.
The wild boar was divided by several people without a trace in an instant, Qiu Li grabbed the most, a thigh of at least 50 pounds was snatched by him in his hand, and he didn't care about the burn, only sent it to the mouth, and the sticky beard was full of oil stains. He kept muttering: "Incense, incense, really his grandmother's incense, the birds have faded out of Lao Tzu's mouth these days." ”
The two elders, Ripple and Qingluan, ate very gently, but this speed was definitely not inferior to Qiu Li, and the meat steak in front of them was less than half in a short time.
The most pitiful thing is the willow, which did not grab the meat, and the girl was not advantageous because of her small body, but at the moment she was stamping her feet and watching them feast.
A piece of pork chop suddenly appeared in front of Yang Liu, and the smell was still steaming on it, and the fragrance kept drilling into the nose.
"Eat. Chuncheng said.
The roundworms in Yangliu's stomach have long been hooked, and he took the pork chop in one hand and kept sending it into his small mouth. I also expressed my gratitude to Spring City from time to time. Looking at the cute appearance of the willow, Chuncheng always felt inexplicably interesting in his heart, and unconsciously wanted to get close.
Qiu Li was still eating meat, always feeling that something was missing. suddenly remembered, and said to Chuncheng, "Chuncheng boy, do you have any wine there?"
Chuncheng untied the wine gourd on his body, and flew directly into Qiu Li's hands with an inch of strength.
The gourd is not big, as soon as I started Qiuli, I felt that something was wrong, this is not an ordinary wine gourd, it actually has a built-in space, which can store thousands of catties of wine. This is not something that a child in a remote area should have, and looking at Spring City's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little more mysterious.
"Goo Gu Gu Goo Goo" wine entrance, liver and intestines strong. Qiu Li drank almost a pound of wine in one go, his face turned red, and he slowed down for a while before exhaling a breath of turbidity. Shouted: "Good wine." ”
Qingluan had long noticed the wine gourd on Chuncheng's body, and he always had a sense of déjà vu. But when you think about it, it's always vague. Maybe I've seen a similar wine gourd in that restaurant before.
Full of wine and food, the five elders and the students of the wooden courtyard were full of praise for the food, but the students of other colleges who were really bitter were the students of other academies, who could only watch from a distance and not play blasphemously, they were really hungry in their eyes and hearts.
"Well, well, yes, yes, the young man from Spring City has good cooking skills, it seems that the dinner in the future should be yours, and those who can work hard" Qiu Li held his stomach that was about to explode with one hand, and picked his teeth with a wooden stick in the other.
"Lao Qiu, I think you are embarrassed. People belong to our wooden courtyard, and you have the ability to do it yourself. Qingluan retorted.
"Alright, alright, it's not too late, set up camp and rest, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning. Qiuli, today you have arranged for your people to keep vigil. Jin Shisan was obviously satisfied with what he ate, and he touched his beard and said to Qiu Li.
Jin Shisan still has credibility among the five courts, not only because he has cultivated qi to reach the top position of the qi spirit, but mainly because Jin Shisan's apprentices mostly work for the royal family and have won a lot of welfare resources for the five courts, so more or less for the sake of this face, the other four elders also obeyed his command this time.
"Well, I know, I'll arrange it in a moment. Qiu Li said, and walked towards his camp with a big oval belly.
Li Mu's resentment towards Chuncheng started from seizing his aura on the day of the test, to today he once again lost the opportunity to tie up Qiu Li, and he hated even more hatred.
"Li Mu, the five of you will keep vigil tonight, and if there is something, you will bombard the ground with a cyclone. O~~ I'm going to rest first. Qiu Li drank a lot today, obviously sleepy has come up, hastily explained the task, and went back to his tent to sleep. This is the edge of the Heavenly Forest, and there will be no high-level fierce beasts, so Qiu Li will be so relieved.
"Boss, it's so unfair that we're keeping a vigil. ”
"Yes, Boss, why, why don't you let them go to Spring City?"
Li Mu listened to his companion's complaints, and his head was about to explode. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly. I took out a bag of things from my bag and handed it to Li Lei behind him, put it in his ear and said softly: "You go and scatter this bag of things near Spring City, remember, be careful, don't let people find out." ”
