Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 84, Spiritual Food Duel

"Okay, go back now. Go to the General Affairs Building of Xiankeju to collect the spiritual stones needed for these spiritual materials."

Zhu Daochang looked at Tai Hongfei who was led in by Xiaoli, frowned slightly, and spoke in a flat tone.

Zhen Yuan took the storage bag that Tai Hongfei was offering with both hands, took out the various spiritual materials in it, and returned the storage bag to him.

"Yes, Master Zhu." Tai Hongfei replied with a smile on his face, took the storage bag returned by Zhu Daochang with both hands, and then continued with expectation and pride in his eyes.

"Master Zhu, my skills in making bitter spirit recovery noodles have improved significantly recently. I can now make lower-grade bitter spirit recovery noodles. Now, all the bitter spirit recovery noodles in my Tai Family Restaurant are made by me."

"However, I still feel that my skills in making the Bitter Spirit Recovery Noodles are somewhat lacking, and I would like to ask Master Zhu for some guidance."

As he spoke, Tai Hongfei bowed his head and looked up at Zhu Daochang. At the same time, he saw Mu Yunsheng, who was also standing next to Zhu Daochang in the backyard of Lanxing Courtyard.

"Why are you here? Is this a place suitable for a lowly cultivator like you to come? You are so bold! How did you get the news that Master Zhu was cultivating in Lanxingyuan?"

"How dare you come and disturb Master Zhu's meditation? Last time, my grandfather let you go, but this time, I will not forgive you."

Tai Hongfei's face was filled with anger, and he looked at Mu Yunsheng with murderous intent in his eyes. The true energy in his body was circulating, and the spiritual aura of his cultivation was emanating.

But he is already a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

When Mu Yunsheng saw Tai Hongfei, who was angry and had murderous intentions towards him, he was also surprised and unpredictable about his arrival, but his face and eyes remained calm.

He did not react on guard because Tai Hongfei circulated his true energy and revealed his angry murderous intent towards him.

What's more, Mu Yunsheng didn't even go there. Zhu Daochang didn't explain anything, but just looked at Tai Hongfei calmly.

Although he had only met Zhu Daochang twice today, whether it was the punishment of Liu Zhijun and Gao Zheyu, or his attitude towards Liu Jiangxuan.

Mu Yunsheng realized from this that although Zhu Daochang seemed easygoing, he also had the pride and inviolability of being a foundation-building cultivator and a second-level low-grade spiritual chef.

Zhu Daochang's calm eyes looked at Tai Hongfei, who was circulating his true energy in front of him and talking angrily. His eyes turned cold, but like Mu Yunsheng, he looked at Tai Hongfei without saying a word.

"Master Zhu, this person is a villain. He is just a low-level cultivator from our Qianyuan Province. I don't know where he got the news that you, Master Zhu, are holding a meeting at Xianke Residence to accept disciples and test their fate."

The good thing is that Tai Hongfei still had some brains after all. He looked at Zhu Daochang with eyes filled with anger and murderous intent towards Mu Yunsheng, and said angrily, then looked at Mu Yunsheng and continued.

"So he secretly learned the technique of Kuling Huiqimian and came to participate in the disciple recruitment meeting held by Master Zhu. After being exposed by my grandfather and me, he fled Xiankeju."

"He is a lowly cultivator from our Qianyuan Province. He knows your information. It is obvious that he has bad intentions towards you. Master Zhu, please do not trust him."

Mu Yunsheng had no words to defend himself, but went to explain to Zhu Daochang what had happened when he participated in the disciple recruitment and fate test at Xiankeju that day, and sighed softly in his heart.

"A cultivator with a powerful family behind him is truly courageous."

After he finished speaking, Mu Yunsheng withdrew his gaze from Tai Hongfei. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhu Daochang, and then looked at the little fox who had transformed into a human.

Compared to Tai Hongfei, he is now much more interested in Xiaoli, a second-level low-grade monster that can speak human language and perform illusions.

"Swoosh~" Xiaoli's figure moved and returned to its original form, becoming a palm-sized star-moon spiritual light weasel, appearing on Zhu Daochang's shoulder, and then spoke in human language.

"Master, this person just gave the star fruit to Xiaoli, but Xiaoli didn't want it."

"Okay." Zhu Daochang smiled, nodded to Xiaoli, then looked at Tai Hongfei and whispered.

"Are you done? If you're done, leave me now. Don't let me see you again. Also, tell Tai Fuan that he doesn't need to provide me with the spiritual materials I need in the future."

"I will ask Xiankeju to collect them and send them to me."

"Why? Master Zhu." Tai Hongfei's face was stunned by the angry words. He looked at Zhu Daochang and asked with disbelief in his eyes, and then said in panic and anxiety.

"Master Zhu, my skill in making the Kuling Qi-recovering Noodles has truly reached the lower-grade C quality. If you don't believe me, I can make one for you right now."

"My grandfather said that I am also very talented in the way of spiritual cooking. As long as I practice with you, Master Zhu, I will definitely have the hope of surpassing him and becoming a second-level lower-grade spiritual chef."

As Tai Hongfei spoke, he hurriedly took out the selected fine bitter wheat and high-quality sheep's foot recovery root from his body, obviously before coming to Lanxingyuan.

It was already planned that they would make the bitter spirit recovery noodles in front of Zhu Daochang.

"Get lost! You haven't even improved your skill in making Kuling Huiqi Noodles to Grade B in a month, also known as the Way of the Spiritual Cook, you idiot."

Zhu Daochang frowned and was already angry, but considering that Tai Fuan had been helping him since he came to Qianyuan Prefecture, he did not attack Tai Hongfei, but just angrily told him to leave.

"Master Zhu...Master Zhu." Tai Hongfei felt fear in his heart when he saw the angry Zhu Daochang, but he was unwilling to leave like this and lose the opportunity to become Zhu Daochang's disciple.

Looking at Mu Yunsheng beside Zhu Daochang, Tai Hongfei's eyes became bloodshot and he spoke angrily.

"Master Zhu, is it because of this villain that he participated in the disciple recruitment meeting at Xiankeju, and his bitter spirit recovery test results were also cultivated in advance?"

"I want to have a spiritual duel with him!"

"Spiritual food duel?" Mu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with confusion. He didn't understand what Tai Hongfei was talking about and looked at Zhu Daochang.

Zhu Daochang's frown calmed down. He looked at Tai Hongfei who was speaking angrily, then looked at Mu Yunsheng who had confusion in his eyes. After a moment, he said.

"Okay, what's the bet?"

"The foundation of my Tai Family Restaurant is the Qingling Qiankun Cuisine. I want this villain to never go to Yuqian Mountain again and never see Master Zhu again."

Tai Hongfei replied with bloodshot eyes, staring at Mu Yunsheng with resentment on his face.

"But, one month from now, at the General Affairs Building of Xiankeju, you two will each prepare three spiritual meals. I will invite seven cultivators to serve as judges."

Zhu Daochang nodded and waved his hand to summon a piece of spiritual paper as a spiritual contract, recorded the spiritual meal duel agreement between Tai Hongfei and Mu Yunsheng on it, and then said to Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei.

"Each of you will leave a portion of your true essence as a mark in the contract."

"Yes, Master Zhu." When Tai Hongfei saw Zhu Daochang signed the contract, his face turned red with anger, and he showed a smug and ferocious smile to Mu Yunsheng, and even his true energy pierced his fingertips.

Leaving a bloody mark of true essence on the spiritual contract. Mu Yunsheng looked at the spiritual contract floating in the air in front of Zhu Daochang, but unlike Tai Hongfei, he did not sign it directly. Instead, he studied it carefully for a moment and then asked Zhu Daochang about it.

He still knew nothing about the spiritual food duel proposed by Tai Hongfei, and hoped to get some answers from Zhu Daochang.

However, Zhu Daochang just looked calm, nodded slightly to Mu Yunsheng, and didn't say much.

"Haha~, you little bastard wouldn't dare to sign, would you? I knew you were trying to trick Master Zhu. I've already said that practicing the Hundred Arts is not something that lowly casual cultivators like you have the resources to do."

"Don't think you can trick me and Master Zhu by being a little clever. Why don't you apologize to Master Zhu right away?"

When Tai Hongfei saw Mu Yunsheng had not yet signed the contract, a smug and happy smile appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly.

Mu Yunsheng didn't say anything. He looked at the contents of the contract on the spiritual contract and thought carefully in his mind for a long time. After weighing the pros and cons, he circulated the true energy in his body and left a mark of his own true energy on the spiritual contract.

A spiritual contract is a commonly used contract between cultivators. It can record the fluctuations of a cultivator's true essence and spiritual rhythm, and confirm the identity of the cultivator who signed the spiritual contract.

Monks have numerous magical skills and can easily change their appearance, fingerprints, and even men to women or women to men.

Therefore, the method of signing contracts in the secular world has no binding force or effect on monks.

However, the fluctuations of the true essence and spiritual rhythm of the cultivators' cultivation are difficult to change. The true essence cultivated by each cultivator has unique spiritual rhythm fluctuations and aura, which are difficult for other cultivators to imitate and integrate.

Even among cultivators who practice the same technique, the fluctuations and aura of their true essence and spiritual energy are different.

Of course, this does not mean that the fluctuations and aura of the true essence and spiritual rhythm of other cultivators cannot be imitated. It is just more difficult and requires special methods.

On the spiritual contract that records the imprint of true essence, there are even spiritual contracts that record the imprint of blood and soul. That kind of spiritual contract is more difficult to escape and has the effect of being pursued.

However, ordinary cultivators do not need to use spiritual contracts of this level when signing contracts. A spiritual contract that records the imprint of true essence is enough.

In fact, this was the first time that Mu Yunsheng signed a spiritual contract. The low-level cultivators and independent cultivators in Qianyuanzhou signed a contract with each other.

The oaths usually used are those made by breaking jade or offering sacrifices to the Dao. These oaths have no actual binding force and rely entirely on contracts of good faith.

Only some important matters, such as when Mu Qinghu and Mu Huilan got married, did they use the spiritual contract to sign a marriage certificate.

"I thought my first spiritual contract would be a marriage certificate with Xiao Lin'er," Mu Yunsheng muttered to himself, bowing to Zhu Daochang. "Senior Zhu, I've already signed the spiritual contract."

"Yeah." Zhu Daochang nodded calmly, waved his hand, put the spiritual contract signed by Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei into the storage bag, then looked at Tai Hongfei and spoke.

"The spiritual contract for the spiritual meal duel between you two has been signed. It will take place in the General Affairs Building of Xianke Residence in a month. Now go back and don't come to Lanxingyuan again. I will discuss this matter with Tai Fuan."

"Yes, Master Zhu."

Tai Hongfei's expression changed. When he heard Zhu Daochang still told him not to come to Lanxingyuan again, he wanted to say something else, but was stared at by Zhu Daochang with cold eyes.

In the end, he didn't dare to do it again. He hurriedly bowed and said goodbye in fear. His eyes were full of resentment. After looking at Mu Yunsheng, he turned around and left quickly.

"Today I will teach you three secret methods for making first-grade, low-grade spiritual foods. They can assist cultivators in their practice and help them absorb and refine spiritual energy more easily, as well as the Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup."

"The White Spirit Wonderful Goodness Robe can remove the remaining toxins in a cultivator's body, clearing away turbidity and impurities. Also, the Dragon Tooth Water Essence Porridge can heal the remaining injuries to a cultivator's internal organs and restore their vitality."

"I will only make these three kinds of spiritual food once. Please study and comprehend them carefully on your own."

Zhu Daochang looked at Mu Yunsheng and spoke calmly, without looking at Tai Hongfei who was leaving, or talking about the Lingshan duel.

It seemed that to him, this was just mosquitoes flying away from the flowers and plants, and the breeze blowing through the courtyard. There was nothing worth caring about or talking about.

"Yes, Senior Zhu." Mu Yunsheng focused his mind and quickly saluted in response, putting aside his thoughts about the spiritual food duel and Tai Hongfei.

What Zhu Daochang is going to teach next are three secret methods of making first-grade low-grade spiritual food. These are the most important things for him. If he fails to pass the test.

Not to mention whether he could meet Zhu Daochang again, even whether he could come to Yuqian Mountain again was an unknown.

"The preparation of the Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup relies on the Green Heart to communicate with the spirit, cleansing the dust that has contaminated the cultivator's mind, eliminating delusions, and enhancing the cultivator's ability to absorb and perceive spiritual energy."

"It requires three first-grade low-grade spiritual materials: the Jade Heart Lotus Seeds, five petals of the Spirit Jade Heart Purifying Orchid, and three inches of Tongxin Mushroom, ......"

Zhu Daochang said that he had selected three kinds of spiritual materials from the ones that Tai Hongfei brought in his storage bag, and then took out a set of magical instruments for making spiritual food from the storage bag.

In front of Mu Yunsheng, he began to prepare the first-grade low-grade spiritual food, the Green Heart Lotus Soup, step by step. The preparation method was not slow, but each step was extremely detailed.

And while making it, we will also explain why we should do it this way and what taboos there are.

The skills and techniques of production were taught to Mu Yunsheng based on what a first-level lower-grade spiritual chef could do.

Mu Yunsheng watched attentively from the side, memorizing in detail Zhu Daochang's skills in making the Green Heart Lotus Soup.

Time passed unknowingly, and about two quarters of an hour later.

“Wow!”

A bowl of spiritual soup filled with green heart lotus appeared in Zhu Daochang's hand. The spiritual mist condensed like a surging sea of ​​clouds, and every lotus flower was green, heart-clearing, and jade-clear.

It appears, grows, and blooms in the spiritual mist and sea of ​​clouds, just like the bowl of Green Heart Lotus Soup in Zhu Daochang's hand, which has become a world where spiritual energy gathers.

It also absorbs the spiritual energy around it, making the spiritual energy contained in the Green Heart Lotus Soup become more and more rich and vigorous.

"I wish you, Senior, that the spiritual energy of this Green Heart Lotus Soup is growing?"

Mu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the Bi Xin Lian Ling Soup in Zhu Daochang's hand, which was growing in spiritual charm and energy. It seemed as if it had come alive. He couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Your feeling is right." Zhu Daochang replied with a smile, a slight smile on his face, looking at Mu Yunsheng with approval in his eyes, and continued.

"This Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup has indeed come back to life, or more accurately, transformed into a spirit."
