Chapter 18 Exquisite Duck Neck
Elder Danfeng was an old man with white eyebrows and white beard, dressed in a cyan robe, with two immortal cranes tattooed on each cuff, looking like a fairy wind and bones. Don't look at his age, he is actually more than a hundred years old. Since his common surname is Qi, the disciples in the sect call him Elder Qi.
At this time, Elder Qi paced over slowly, and Liu Xiaoxu hurriedly led the crowd to meet him.
"Disciple Liu Xiaoxu, lead all the members of the room up and down to meet the elders!"
"No courtesy. ”
Elder Qi waved his hand casually, let everyone get up, and swept his gaze over everyone casually: "Which of you is in charge?"
"Disciple Liu Xiaoxu is the current head of the room!"
A look of surprise flashed on Elder Qi's face, as if he didn't expect that Liu Xiaoxu would be able to become the head of the house at a young age, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"I was passing by here just now, and suddenly I smelled a strange smell, what are you cooking for?"
Liu Xiaoxu said truthfully: "Elder Hui, the disciple is making a delicious duck neck. ”
"Absolutely delicious...... Duck neck?" Elder Qi was slightly stunned: "You mean, the aroma I smell comes from the duck's neck?"
"Exactly!" Liu Xiaoxu said with a smile.
"What nonsense!" Elder Qi suddenly lowered his face: "This kind of thing like a duck neck is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless, how can it emit such a strange fragrance, you don't want to fool me!"
Liu Xiaoxu was neither humble nor arrogant: "What the disciple said is true, and he doesn't dare to deceive the elders." If the elder doesn't believe it, please wait for a while, and when the disciple is ready, he will personally present it to you for you to check!"
Elder Qi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You go." If what you say is true, I will be rewarded. If there is half a falsehood, I will not spare it!"
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xiaoxu came out of the room, holding a plate of steaming duck neck.
Elder Qi's nose twitched, and he suddenly smiled: "It's this strange fragrance!"
When Liu Xiaoxu presented the exquisite duck neck in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"This thing...... It seems to be a duck neck. I didn't expect this tasteless thing to be so fragrant. Boy, how did you do that?"
"Elder Qiyu, this exquisite duck neck is carefully cooked with exclusive secret spices, and it took me several years of painstaking efforts to develop, and the elder can taste it. ”
Elder Qi nodded, picked up a piece of exquisite duck neck, and put it in his mouth.
The next moment, I saw his eyebrows and beard trembling, and his eyes widened: "This duck neck...... How can it be so delicious! The old man has lived for hundreds of years, and it is the first time he has eaten such a delicacy!"
After listening to Elder Qi's evaluation, Liu Xiaoxu couldn't help grinning: "If the elder thinks it's delicious, then eat more, if it's not enough, the disciple will go to make it now, keep it today, and the elder will eat enough!"
"Okay! good!" Elder Qi was greatly satisfied with these words, and he was not polite at the moment, and ate in front of everyone.
In fact, with Elder Qi's status and identity today, he has to be more or less afraid of his image in front of his disciples.
But.
But the duck neck is so delicious!
After eating the first one, I immediately want to eat the second, and after eating the second, I immediately want to eat the third...... It's so delicious that you can't stop it!
It wasn't until the whole plate of the duck neck was eaten up that Elder Qi realized his gaffe, and he couldn't help but blush, coughed twice in disguise, and made a serious appearance.
"This duck neck...... It tastes so good!"
"Elder Ben will do what he says, I said before that there are many rewards, what reward do you want, just mention it!"
As soon as these words came out, an answer emerged from the bottom of everyone's hearts.
What is the best reward? Of course, it is to take refuge in Elder Qi's disciples! These outer disciples are busy with cattle and horses every day, what are they trying to do? Isn't it that one day, they can become an inner disciple, and from then on they will be able to teach the Immortal Fa and walk towards the road of cultivating immortals?
This is a great opportunity to climb to the sky!
Many people are envious of it. Next, presumably Liu Xiaoxu will ask to join Elder Qi's disciples, right? With Elder Qi's mood at this time, there is a chance that he will be gracious!
However, Liu Xiaoxu's next performance stunned them.
I saw Liu Xiaoxu tugging at his little face and scratching his head, as if he was thinking about what reward to ask for.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was not calm.
What else is there to think about? What else is there to think about?!
Hurry up, beg the elders to take you as a disciple!
Also ink what!
Many people think that Liu Xiaoxu is acting coy and deliberately pretending to be like this, in order to leave a good impression of simplicity and simplicity on the elders. In the end, I will definitely ask the elders to be included in the door.
However, Liu Xiaoxu's next words completely broke this speculation.
"Disciple, I want a painkiller!"
The so-called analgesic pill, as the name suggests, is to make people feel pain for a short time, but it is actually the same as anesthetic. It's just that the anesthetic of this world will make people unconscious, which is equivalent to general anesthesia. There is no pill in the mortal world that can make people conscious and not feel pain, but the immortal family can refine a painkiller pill similar to local anesthesia.
What Liu Xiaoxu asked for was this elixir.
Hearing this, Elder Qi couldn't help but be stunned: "Pain Relief Pill, what do you want it to do?"
"This ......"
In fact, Liu Xiaoxu's purpose in seeking medicine is to prepare for the Xianmen assessment.
You must know that in the Xianmen assessment, since the participants have not cultivated, the content of the assessment has nothing to do with cultivation. It is more about testing the perseverance, endurance, courage and other qualities of the candidates.
In the last Xianmen assessment, Liu Xiaoxu was unfortunately defeated because he couldn't stand the burning of the purgatory true fire in the phantom array.
The real fire of purgatory is just an illusion in the phantom array, not a real flame, and it will not cause actual damage to people's bodies, but the pain caused to people mentally is a thousand times better than that of real flames.
With the painkiller pill, you can avoid this pain, and you will have a better chance of winning by participating in the Xianmen assessment in the future.
But, of course, this could not be said to Elder Qi. After all, the use of painkillers in the Xianmen assessment is equivalent to cheating.
Liu Xiaoxu's eyes moved, and he said, "Elder Hui, the disciple cooks in the room on weekdays, and it is inevitable that he will be injured. Burns from oil fires and cuts with knives are common. But...... The disciple was really afraid of pain, lest these injuries affect the state of cooking, and then affect the taste of the food, which will cause everyone to be dissatisfied, so he brazenly begged for a painkiller. I hope the elders will be perfect!"
Hearing this, Elder Qi was slightly moved, and couldn't help but murmur, "I didn't expect you to suffer so much for the daily food in the door at such a young age. ”
Liu Xiaoxu raised his little face, and said with righteousness: "It is the luck of the disciple to endure hardships and sweat for the sect!
The tone was word-for-word, sonorous and powerful.
The golden sun shone on his little face, revealing a bit of solemn ** taste......
Elder Qi nodded, his eyes showing a bit of appreciation: "Yes!
After a pause, he asked softly, "Little guy, how long have you been in the outer gate?"
"Elder Hui, the disciple has been in the outer gate for two years, and this year he is preparing to participate in the second immortal gate assessment. ”
"Oh?" Elder Qi's expression moved: "You want to become an inner disciple?"
"Disciples dream of becoming inner disciples!"
"Okay!
Elder Qi stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's just that your qualifications are mediocre, and it is still a little difficult to pass the Immortal Gate assessment." But ......."
Elder Qi changed his words and continued with a smile: "However, if you want to become an inner disciple, there is more than just the way of the Immortal Gate assessment, the old man's disciple just lacks an alchemy boy, if you are willing, the old man can make an exception to include you in the door." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked!
This is directly throwing an olive branch to Liu Xiaoxu!
Many people present were so envious that their eyes were red, Elder Danfeng took the initiative to solicit them, and Liu Xiaoxu licked his face and asked to worship under the elders, these are two completely different concepts!
You must know that Elder Qi is the lord of the dignified peak, in charge of the entire Danfeng lineage, how noble his identity is!
Now he is taking the initiative to recruit a little-known outer disciple, which is a great gift!
Whoever it is, will be flattered and accept it with gratitude, right?
But Liu Xiaoxu's next words made everyone stupid.
I saw him give a deep salute, and then raised his little face, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Thank you Elder Qi for your kindness! It's just that the disciple has no intention of worshipping under the Danfeng Sect, and I hope the elder will forgive me!"
