Chapter 5 The Path of Cultivating Immortals
In the soup room, Yu Zecheng bowed respectfully to Bai He and said:
"Thank you Brother Bai for killing the Demon Wolf and avenging my grandfather, this is the gift that my mother asked me to do, thank you Brother Bai for his great kindness. β
After speaking, he bowed to the ground, Bai He nodded and accepted this salute calmly, and then Yu Zecheng began to teach him how to make soup.
Yu Zecheng's teaching is detailed, and he has not hidden anything from Bai Hexi, Bai He has also studied carefully, and he has to personally test everything.
Time passed unconsciously, and everything Yu Zecheng handed over to Bai Hexi, Yu Zecheng said:
"That's about it, as long as the mother soup is cooked, you don't have to wait for a day and a night every time you make the soup, but the mother soup can't be kept for more than three days, even if it's frozen into ice cubes, otherwise the taste will spoil.
Okay, the general white brother will be gone, now it's time for me to teach you the three most critical points. β
Bai He smiled and said:
"You're not afraid that others will learn it, and you'll even sell the secret to the head chef, but he can't make such a soup anyway, so these three points are your hand. β
Yu Zecheng said with a smile:
"Big Brother Bai smiled, I live on this soup, so naturally I have to keep a hand, but I will teach all of them to Big Brother Bai.
The first point is to put salt, since ancient times, people must eat salt, if you want to have a delicious taste, salt is important, in fact, this salt is said a lot, my soup is all seasoned by salt. I remember when I saw a story in "Yuan Heng Zongyao", a Chen Guo's imperial chef set up a banquet for the monarch and made a banquet for a day, but in the last dish, he forgot to put salt, thinking that this is over, this is a big crime to kill the head.
As a result, I didn't think that everyone praised this dish for being delicious, because all the dishes put salt in them, and these people have absorbed enough salt after eating for a day, and when they eat the dishes without salt, they feel that this dish is salty and delicious, and it is extremely delicious.
So when I taught the head chef, I told him to put a penny of salt, this salt is absolutely normal for these soups, he is an old chef and he can't see anything wrong with it, in fact, there is something to say, every time my soup is the last to be served, the people in the banquet have already eaten the ditch is full, they have absorbed enough salt in other dishes, I don't put salt every time I serve the soup, they don't need salt for a long time, so when you drink it, you will feel that the taste is just right, salty and palatable.
I don't know this, the head chef also puts salt normally according to the method I taught, and the soup will taste normal when it is tested, but when it is served during the banquet, it will definitely leave a salty taste of the soup, and this soup is mainly maintenance, as long as it is salty, the other umami will disappear, and the natural taste is not right, and it is not delicious.
The second point, Brother Bai, you look at these three Chinese herbs, Mu Qi, Yellow Ginseng, and Hook Connection, in fact, they can make this soup with three flavors, and the purpose of me putting them is to prevent others from stealing from learning.
Mu Qi is a herb, as long as it encounters vinegar, it will emit a bitter taste, as long as it has been boiled for more than an hour, it will emit a fishy smell, and when it is connected with beef, it will emit an astringent taste.
But as long as you mix these three flavors properly, the three flavors will neutralize each other and become an attractive aroma, and there will also be a salty feeling, which will hide the secret of not putting salt.
This combination requires the proportion of raw materials, the time of each pot, and the time of the soup to be accurately grasped, not a little worse, otherwise the taste of the soup will change, okay, I will talk to Brother Bai in detail about ...... now. β
Bai He regretted that he was particularly interested in this, and asked in detail over and over again and studied it carefully. Yu Zecheng slowly understood, Bai didn't care to attach so much importance to the secrecy of this soup, it was not the same as himself, and he wanted to rely on this soup to make some strongmen and get ahead. At the same time, I am afraid that others will learn and rob my own business.
After this teaching, Yu Zecheng continued:
"Finally, I'm not sure about that, and I don't know why. We chefs all have some internal skills, and sometimes we all use internal skills to fuel the fire, so that the soup will come out of the pot faster, and it will be more delicious.
Although my internal strength is very weak, using my internal strength to fuel the fire is better than the soup they use to help the stove fire, and it is because of this that the head chef gave up the idea of learning my soup. β
After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Bai He couldn't help nodding, and then he reached out and touched Yu Zecheng's head, feeling it, and said after a while:
"How did you discover all these tricks?"
Yu Zecheng replied:
"I discovered the knowledge of putting salt in "Yuan Heng Zongyao". As for the conflict and harmony of those three herbs, it is read in the Compendium of Materia Medica. I tried it hundreds of times before I came to this conclusion. β
Bai He nodded and said:
"At such a young age, he is a good seedling. The third reason I know why, you have the five elements of the spiritual root in your body, although it belongs to the pseudo spiritual root, but none of them have this, this soup is said to be a soup in fact, there is already a medicinal surname for dispersing qi, and only people with spiritual roots can practice it. In addition, you may have the talent for refining medicine?"
Yu Zecheng asked in surprise:
"What is a spiritual root?"
η½δ½regret says:
"You've heard of the immortals, right?"
Yu Zecheng nodded and replied:
"I've heard my father say that he's seen immortals flying in the sky. β
Bai He nodded and said:
"In fact, immortals are all cultivated by mortals, but with the same secret immortal method, some people can cultivate into immortals, and some people can't attract spiritual energy into their bodies no matter what, they can't practice true yuan power, and they can't become immortals.
Later, after countless generations of research, it was discovered that mortals who can cultivate true yuan power must have spiritual roots in the meridians in their bodies, and if a person does not have spiritual roots, then don't even think about cultivating immortals, because you can't sense spiritual energy at all, let alone cultivate mana!
You belong to the Five Elements Spiritual Root, this spiritual root is one of the most popular spiritual roots, the Tiger Roaring Heavenly Recipe you practice was originally evolved from the basic exercises of cultivating immortals, so you use internal strength to fuel the fire, and you have a spiritual root, you can attract spiritual energy into the soup, with the prototype of refining medicine, after this soup is done, so there will be a weak medicine surname that disperses qi, supplementing people's vitality, this is what I am curious about, I said how ordinary chefs would make this kind of soup. β
Yu Zecheng listened in surprise and said:
"Five Elements Spirit Root, Refining Medicine, Big Brother Bai, I Can Cultivate Immortals?"
Bai He nodded and said with a long sigh:
"Cultivating immortals, how difficult it is, you see that I am very beautiful outside, but in fact, I am just an outsider, and I can't find the way to get started, if I can rely on this soup to join the inner door. Get the reward of the ancestors, break through the innate realm, and build a foundation, I will not forget you. β
δ½Zecheng says:
"Thank you, Brother Dabai. In my memory, the innate master is the strongest master in the world?"
Bai He regretted that he learned the method of making soup today, and he looked forward to the direction in his heart, so he was naturally happy and said a few more words:
"Innate master, hehe, in the mortal innate realm, he is indeed a famous master in the world, but for cultivating immortals, it is just the beginning.
Mortals cultivating immortals have to go through five major periods and fifteen realms, and these five periods are: Qi refining period, foundation building period, Jindan period, Yuan infant period, and void period.
Each period is divided into three realms, the Qi refining period is divided into Qi induction, fetal breath, and congenital, the foundation building period is divided into body shaping, fusion, and spiritual silence, the Jindan period is divided into knots, heartbeats, and dragons and tigers, the Yuan infant period is divided into adult infants, out-of-body and distractions, and the void period is divided into emptiness, tribulation, and Mahayana.
The fifteen realms of cultivating immortals, each realm is divided into the primary level, the intermediate level, and the advanced level, plus a peak state of the final breakthrough period, so each period will be divided into ten levels of state.
The internal strength like Ma Laohei has been in the heat for thirty years, and he can use the sword, and the martial arts master who releases the true qi is equivalent to the primary level of the fetal breath realm during the qi refining period, and the characteristic is that the true qi can be released to form a sword qi sword mang.
Like the Demon Sky Wolf enters the Tao with martial arts, his white hair turns black, and he is in the sky, that is, he has entered the advanced level of the innate realm, and the sign is that he can stand in the sky. However, this has just begun in the immortal cultivation world, and it is necessary to reach the innate peak realm, and then build a foundation, re-refine the body, and turn the old man into a youth. Only then did he truly enter the immortal cultivation realm and be recognized by the immortal cultivation realm, and he was the official disciple of the various sects.
As long as you enter the realm of cultivating immortals, what you cultivate is not the true qi, but the true yuan mana, and when the time comes, you will learn the immortal magic or have the magic weapon. Even the weakest immortal cultivator of the Qi Induction Realm, if he has powerful immortal arts and magic weapons, he can also kill the martial arts powerhouses of the Innate Realm. β
After speaking, Bai He regretted that as soon as his hand moved, a fireball appeared in his hand, the size of a human head, floating in his hand, exuding powerful heat.
Bai He Xi moved his hand again, the fireball disappeared, and said:
"The Demon Sky Wolf has reached the innate advanced level realm, and I am only at the innate primary level, which is two levels higher than me, but under the bombardment of my weak Dao method and fireball technique, in the end, I didn't break through the true qi cover and kill me on the spot when I ran out of true qi.
The biggest benefit of cultivating immortals is that it can prolong life. In the Qi refining period, when the immortal cultivator enters the fetal breath realm, people can live to the age of ancient sparse old age, if they enter the innate realm, one hundred and fifty years old will not become a problem, and the body is strong, and all diseases must not be avoided.
If you can build a foundation, enter the foundation building period, refine your body, and increase your life expectancy by at least two jiazi, and you can live to at least three hundred years old. Entering the Fusion Realm and the Spiritual Silence Realm will each increase the lifespan of one Jiazi. Reached the age of 400 years.
If you can enter the Jindan period, your lifespan will be doubled, you can live to be 800 years old, and you can also be reincarnated and reborn. If you can enter the Yuan Infant Period, you can say that you will not die, and you can live for at least thousands of years, and there will be no danger of falling until the catastrophe comes. β
Yu Huacheng listened silently, engraved all these in his mind, and then said:
"What about after the Mahayana?"
Bai He said with great pity:
"That is the feather ascension, or for the heavenly or for the Shura, into the immortal realm, that is the highest realm of immortal cultivators, not to the realm of the tribulation is very dangerous, ancient legends, the first infant is easy to knot, the tribulation is sad.
It's a bit far, now we have six regions such as Tiannan, Mobei, Guqin, Chuxi, Miaoxiang, Suiyuan, etc., and 37 continents, as long as they reach the Jindan period, they can open the door and establish a faction, indulge the country, and divide the world. Immortals like the Yuan Infant Stage, that is, the thirty-six sects, the seventy-two sects, these one hundred and eight sects, will have one or two, not to mention the immortals in the Void Period, that is, the immortals in the distraction realm have not appeared in the world for three or four thousand years. β
Hearing this, Yu Zecheng didn't speak for a long time, and was completely stunned. Bai He regretted and said:
"Xiao Yuzi, do you really want to be a chef for the rest of your life?";
