Chapter 85, The winner is naturally yours

“The quality of spiritual food is divided into four stages.”

"Spiritual energy is like silk, and of Ding-level quality, it can only be considered as spiritual food that has successfully activated spiritual charm. It cannot be kept for long, and the spiritual charm and spiritual energy will disappear. It needs to be consumed immediately."

"Those with dull talents, fools, at this stage, cannot break through even after a month or even several months of hard practice."

Zhu Daochang said to Mu Yunsheng, holding the Green Heart Lotus Soup he had prepared in his hand. As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and glanced at the place where Tai Hongfei had stood before, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Then he looked at Mu Yunsheng and continued with a smile.

"Those with great talent can skip the first stage and reach Grade C quality spiritual food after making beginner spiritual food in a few days, or even in one day."

"At this point, the spiritual energy of the spiritual food has condensed like mist, which cannot be blown away by the wind. It can seal the spiritual energy and spiritual charm of the spiritual food and preserve it for a relatively long time, about one to two quarters of an hour."

"It can be convenient for monks to eat, and it can be made and sold."

"The next step is to produce Grade B spiritual food. This step has already activated all the spiritual energy and aura used to make the spiritual food, achieving spiritual energy transformation."

"It will allow the monks to better enjoy the effects of the spiritual food and every bit of its deliciousness, while also preserving the spiritual charm and energy for a longer period of time."

"The last step is to make the Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup I made reach the top quality, and transform the spiritual energy into spirit."

"A-grade spiritual food has already surpassed the limit of the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual materials used to make it. The spiritual energy of the spiritual food has become spiritual, just like spiritual plants and spiritual beasts."

"It absorbs spiritual energy to grow on its own, improving the effects and quality after being consumed by cultivators. It can be preserved for up to five to seven days before its spiritual energy dissipates and it becomes inedible."

"Some reputable spiritual chef restaurants prepare first-class spiritual food every day and put it on display to show the skills of their spiritual chefs and their signature spiritual food to the monks who come and go."

"And some special spiritual foods must be of Grade B or Grade A quality to possess various mystical properties."

As Mu Yunsheng listened to Zhu Daochang's words, he had a clearer understanding of the quality of spiritual food. At the same time, he smelled the tempting fragrance of the bowl of Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup in Zhu Daochang's hand, and his mouth couldn't help but swallow dryly.

"It turns out that first-class spiritual food has so many mysteries. It can even be used as a signboard for a spiritual chef restaurant and displayed."

Mu Yunsheng said in his heart that he had never heard Mu Kehua, Mu Mengshu and others say that Taijia Restaurant had any spiritual food on display, and then said to Zhu Daochang.

"Senior Zhu, can I have a taste of this Green Heart Lotus Soup?"

"This is mine, how dare you snatch it from me, youngster?"

The little raccoon who had returned to his original form was also staring at the Green Heart Lotus Soup in Zhu Daochang's hand with envy. When he heard what Mu Yunsheng said, he immediately got angry, stared at him fiercely, and spoke in human language.

"Senior Xiaoli..." Mu Yunsheng was a little stunned, then quickly looked at the little raccoon, which was only the size of an adult man's palm. He did not dare to look down on it just because of its small and cute size, and quickly saluted respectfully and called out.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to get Xiaoli to give him the Green Heart Lotus Soup made by Zhu Daochang.

Mu Yunsheng wanted to eat the top-quality Green Heart Lotus Soup in Zhu Daochang's hand, not just to satisfy his appetite.

More importantly, I want to taste how this Green Heart Lotus Soup is made so as to increase my chances of making it successfully later.

"Okay, Xiaoli, stop making trouble. It's time for you to go practice."

Zhu Daochang said to Xiaoli, then handed the Green Heart Lotus Soup in his hand to Mu Yunsheng through the air, and continued speaking.

"This is for you to eat. A spiritual chef who practices spiritual cooking skills must first understand the spiritual changes in the spiritual food he practices, and what it tastes like after eating it."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Zhu." Mu Yunsheng was overjoyed and quickly bowed to take the Green Heart Lotus Soup that Zhu Daochang's true essence had sent across the air, and expressed his gratitude.

Then he took the Green Heart Lotus Soup, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully with his tongue.

"Boom~" The fragrance of lotus lingers in the mouth, fragrant but not gaudy, clear but not bland. At the same time, there is the sweetness of the flowers of Lingyu Chengxinhui and the cool and smooth taste of Tongxinrong.

It also bloomed layer by layer in Mu Yunsheng's mouth, forming a perfect fusion with the fragrance of the green heart lotus seeds.

After Mu Yunsheng ate it, he felt that his soul had been baptized, like a lotus blooming after the rain. His mind became clear and he could feel the rich spiritual energy around him. It became clear and active and he could capture it more easily.

"Gu~" Mu Yunsheng took another bite. The Green Heart Lotus Soup in his hand entered his mouth and he could clearly feel the feedback on his tongue. The preparation of this Green Heart Lotus Soup was almost perfect and there was no room for improvement.

However, it also clearly fed back to Mu Yunsheng the various changes that occurred during the production of this Green Heart Lotus Soup.

"Swish~" The little fox on the side saw Mu Yunsheng enjoying every bite of the Green Heart Lotus Soup made by Zhu Daochang. He jumped angrily onto the jade chair where Zhu Daochang had sat before, turned around, but did not leave.

After a cup of tea, Mu Yunsheng tasted the Green Heart Lotus Soup in his hand carefully and ate it all. He also had a general understanding of the various spiritual changes in the production of the Green Heart Lotus Soup.

"How's your comprehension going? Do you have an understanding of how to make the Green Heart Lotus Soup?" Zhu Daochang asked after seeing Mu Yunsheng finish eating the Green Heart Lotus Soup.

"In reply to Senior Zhu, I have somewhat understood something. Thank you very much, Senior Zhu." Mu Yunsheng returned the greeting and bowed deeply to Zhu Daochang.

The last sentence was not a big deal. After Mu Yunsheng had eaten the Green Heart Lotus Soup, his soul and mind now had a kind of bright and clear wisdom. His thinking and perception of the changes in spiritual fluctuations had become much more acute.

This would undoubtedly allow Mu Yunsheng to maintain a better state and continue to comprehend and observe the other two pure food preparations that Zhu Daochang would teach him next.

Although the Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup is a spiritual food mainly used to assist monks in their practice, it can also help monks to clear their minds, better comprehend the spells of practice, and learn other knowledge of practice.

Mu Yunsheng knew in his heart that Zhu Daochang, as a second-rank low-grade spiritual chef who made the Green Heart Lotus Spiritual Soup, could not be unaware of this.

Therefore, Zhu Daochang chose to make the Green Heart Lotus Soup as his first spiritual food and let Mu Yunsheng eat it, which was already helping him.

"Well, since you've already gained some understanding, I'll now teach you the secret method for making the second first-grade low-grade spiritual food, the Bai Ling Miao Shan Yi. Take three ounces of Bai Yu Ling Chan Yi..."

A smile appeared on Zhu Daochang's face. He said with a smile, accepted Mu Yunsheng's greeting, and then took out a portion of spiritual materials for making Bai Ling Miaoshan clothes and spiritual food from the spiritual materials that Tai Hongfei brought in the storage bag.

While explaining the secrets of the production to Mu Yunsheng, he started to make it in detail step by step.

"Yes, Master Zhu." Mu Yunsheng also smiled and saluted in return. The pressure in his heart was relieved a lot. He looked at Zhu Daochang who was making Bai Lingmiaoshan clothes and spiritual food for him while explaining the mysterious techniques of the production.

Then he looked at the little raccoon who turned around angrily, covered his head with his star-shaped tail, pretending not to look at him.

Mu Yunsheng suddenly had a strange thought in his mind.

"Even if I fail Senior Zhu's assessment today, I will record this in the Mu family's genealogy when I return. A second-rank, lower-grade spiritual chef will personally prepare spiritual food for me free of charge."

"A second-rank, low-grade spirit beast, the Star-Moon Spiritual Light Weasel, lost in a struggle with me for the right to eat the spiritual food and left in anger." "That would be enough to amaze the later cultivators of the Mu family. It could be passed down as a glorious deed of the Mu family for thousands of years."

Mu Yunsheng was thinking curiously in his heart, and the smile on his face became even brighter, but his mind was not relaxed at all. He watched in detail the skills of Zhu Daochang in making Bai Ling Miaoshan clothes and spiritual food.

I wrote them all down clearly.

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and they were in the backyard of Lanxingyuan.

"The spiritual energy of the Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice has not been completely dissipated, and the Water Element Spirit Rice was added to the water too early, causing it to turn into water."

"It failed to blend well with the spiritual charm of the Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice and the Mysterious Blood Spirit Clam, so it needs to be redone."

Zhu Daochang's face was full of seriousness and anger. He looked at the Dragon Tooth Water Yuan Porridge that Mu Yunsheng had just made, which was emitting spiritual charm and aura like wisps of smoke, and said in a stern voice.

"That's right, it doesn't taste good at all. Even a dog wouldn't eat it. Gulp~"

Xiaoli also joined in the conversation, using the illusion water again to transform himself into the appearance of the seven or eight-year-old Taoist boy. He looked at Mu Yunsheng with disgust and ridicule, then drank the Dragon Tooth Water Porridge he had just made in one gulp.

"Senior Zhu, I understand." Mu Yunsheng nodded in reply, keeping in mind what Zhu Daochang said, and then took out another portion of spiritual ingredients for making Dragon Tooth Water Yuan Porridge and began to make it again.

In more than two hours, Mu Yunsheng had completed the test that Zhu Daochang had originally set, and successfully produced it in five chances.

Zhu Daochang had only made and explained once in front of him three first-grade low-grade spiritual foods: the Green Heart Lotus Spirit Soup, the White Spirit Wonderful Clothes, and the Dragon Tooth Water Yuan Porridge.

Although it was only the lowest grade D quality, Mu Yunsheng was able to make it successfully in one go.

However, at the same time, Zhu Daochang's attitude towards Mu Yunsheng also changed a lot. He no longer spoke to him in a calm manner as before, but instead spoke harshly and angrily to the various spiritual foods he made.

Including Mu Yunsheng's best product, the B-grade bitter spirit recovery noodles that he made to restore his true energy, which also received a lot of angry criticism from Zhu Daochang.

Pointed out various problems in Mu Yunsheng's production and the recovery of Ku Ling's energy.

In addition, there was a little fox who ate all the spiritual food he made and spoke to him with disdain and ridicule.

If Mu Yunsheng had not been determined enough, he would have doubted himself and wondered if he was suitable to be a spiritual chef.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. You can keep this jade pass for entering and exiting Lanxingyuan. It will be used from the 10th to the 15th of every month from now on."

"You won't be staying at Lanxingyuan this month. Go back and take care of your own affairs and arrange your time."

After more than an hour, Zhu Daochang called a halt and handed Mu Yunsheng, who was practicing making Bai Ling Miao Shan's clothes and spiritual food, a jade entry and exit token that Liu Jiangxuan had just sent to Lan Xing Yuan not long ago, to him.

"Yes, Senior Zhu." Mu Yunsheng bowed and thanked him. Looking at the jade pass for entering and exiting Lanxingyuan handed to him by Zhu Daochang, he took it with both hands with excitement in his heart.

This jade pass of Lanxingyuan not only means that one can enter and exit Qihe Market at any time without paying a low-grade spirit stone entrance fee,
You can take the Xiankeju's trained white-feathered spirit crane for free, travel between Yuqian Mountain and the Xiankeju General Affairs Building at any time, and enter and exit the magic array restrictions of Yuqian Mountain and Lanxingyuan.

It also represents the recognition of Zhu Daochang, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and a second-grade lower-grade spiritual chef, for Mu Yunsheng.

After several days of planning, painstakingly comprehending the secret method of making Qianqing Fuyun noodles, and practicing the making of Qianqing Fuyun noodles, I finally achieved my wish today.

How could Mu Yunsheng not be excited and happy?

"Well, go ahead. After you go back, don't slack off on your practice of the Qianqing Fuyun noodles and these three spiritual foods. In a month, you will lose the spiritual food duel with that kid from the Tai family."

"I will still take back the jade pass I gave you for entering and leaving Lanxingyuan."

When Zhu Daochang saw Mu Yunsheng's excitement and joy in his eyes after receiving the jade token, a smile appeared on his face and he said with a smile.

"Senior Zhu, what is this spiritual food duel?" Mu Yunsheng focused his mind, the excitement in his eyes faded away, he tightly grasped the jade card for entering and exiting Lanxingyuan in his hand, saluted to Zhu Daochang and asked.

"I thought you would never ask." Zhu Daochang said with a smile, then looked at Mu Yunsheng and explained.

"Spiritual food duels are a form of fighting among cultivators in the spiritual cooking world to test their culinary skills. It's similar to the spiritual alchemists' duels of alchemy, the spiritual plant masters' duels of plants, the spiritual formation masters' duels of formations, and the spiritual weapon masters' duels of weapons."

"It can be roughly divided into four methods. First, designate a spiritual meal, prepare it, and compete with each other in spiritual cooking skills."

"Second, each of you will prepare three spiritual dishes and invite other cultivators to taste them and compete."

"Third, they will prepare each other's unique spiritual cuisine and compete. This kind of spiritual cuisine duel, once started, is usually a fight to the death. It is usually only for spiritual chefs with deep hatred for each other."

"That's why we chose to use this third method of spiritual food duel to conduct a competition of spiritual cooking skills."

"The last type is to designate a specific physical condition, or a certain spiritual food that can have a mysterious effect on cultivators after consumption, such as restoring true essence or increasing cultivation, to participate in the spiritual food preparation competition."

"This kind of spiritual food duel requires the spiritual chef to have profound spiritual cooking skills, extensive knowledge, and a wealth of spiritual food preparation secrets."

"If necessary, a Spirit Chef is needed to create a Spirit Food on the spot. Therefore, this last type of Spirit Food Duel will most likely only occur between second-level Spirit Chefs."

"It is also the Spirit Chef Rank Assessment, and most Spirit Chef Conferences follow the same organization system and assessment rules. If you participate in the Spirit Chef Rank Assessment in the future, you will face this fourth Spirit Chef Duel assessment method."

"The spiritual meal duel I arranged for you and that kid from the Tai family is the second type of spiritual meal duel. Each of you will prepare three spiritual meals and have them tasted by the cultivators from the seven families."

Mu Yunsheng listened to Zhu Daochang's explanation of the spiritual food duel and nodded. He had a clear understanding of the spiritual food duel between spiritual chef monks.

"Do you think that spiritual food duels are very formal, and that spiritual chef monks can resolve most disputes and interests through spiritual food duels?"

When Zhu Daochang saw Mu Yunsheng nod, he suddenly sneered. His face, which was originally smiling, seemed to remember something, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, which turned cold.

Looking at Mu Yunsheng, without waiting for his answer, he continued with a stern warning.

"The spiritual food duel is just a means. You must remember that in the world of cultivators, cultivation is the foundation of everything. If you encounter a spiritual chef cultivator who wants to have a spiritual food duel with you in the future."

"Especially if you are using the third spiritual food duel method and want to duel with a spiritual chef monk with spiritual food, your cultivation level is higher than his, and your momentum is greater than his."

"Then don't think about anything. Kill him first and then think about it carefully."

"After he dies, you must not appear on the day of the Spiritual Food Duel. The winner will naturally be yours."
