Talisman Emperor
Chapter 17 – Test
Clear Stream Restaurant, the second floor of the back kitchen.
When Chen Xi and Bai Wanqing entered, old man Ma, Qiao Nan, and Pei Pei were all present. The corner of Qiao Nan's lips beamed as she grinned and whistled excitedly. “Lady Beautiful Bai, not seeing you for 10 days like 10 years. I miss you so much. Are you all right? "
Pei Pei instead held his face coquettishly with his hands as he looked at Chen Xi infatuatedly and muttered. "Mmm, Little Brother Chen Xi seems to have become even more handsome, so dashing. Oho! ”
Old man Ma hit the iron spoon in his hand to make a clanging sound, and his voice was like thunder as he stomped his feet and roared. “As my fucking Junior Brother and Junior Sister, you two are really shameless. Damn it, shut up! ”
Qiao Nan and Pei Pei pursed their lips, extremely annoyed.
Chen Xi had experienced such a scene for a long time, so she did not feel surprised and was only slightly unable to withstand the delicate and charming woman, Pei Pei. She said in her heart, Once old man Ma becomes my master, you will become my Martial Aunt. Can't you hold back when you talk?
“I guess you've learned the Ultimate Guide, Illustrations for Foodstuffs and Spirit Fire Sets like the back of your hand in these 10 days. I'll give you a question, and if you can answer it then I'll take you as my disciple. If you can't answer it, then hurry up and go to avoid wasting time with each other. Old man Ma's expression became solemn and he began to test what Chen Xi had learned in these 10 days.
Chen Xi nodded with a calm expression.
In these past ten days, his soul had become much stronger than before from visualizing the Statue of God Fuxi. It was precisely because of this that he was able to learn with a heart of knowledge that was as vast as the deep sea, the Illustrated Guide to Foodstuffs and the Fire Spirit Collection in such a short period of time.
Chen Xi was sure that as long as the question came from those two books, she would definitely not make the slightest mistake!
The question Ma's parents made only consisted of two words – Rainbow Spindrift! This is the name of the dish that only 5-leaf spirit chefs can cook because the ingredients and flames used all contain very special requirements and have very high difficulty. This dish was also specially prepared for Golden Core Realm cultivators.
However, in An Ultimate, Illustrated Guide to Food Ingredients, Rainbow Spindrift ranks among a myriad of dishes not high. When compared to other dishes available for Golden Core Realm cultivators to consume, Rainbow Spindrift was undoubtedly one of the hardest dishes to prepare. The sheer variety of different attribute ingredients used included more than 100 types, and the cooking steps were even up to a thousand. Unless it was necessary, the 5-leaf spirit chef would not want to cook this dish. Thus, very few people showed any interest towards that name, Rainbow Spindrift.
As far as Old Man Ma was concerned, if Chen Xi really mastered the Ultimate Guide, Illustration for Foodstuffs, then using the Rainbow Spindrift to test it was a perfect fit.
“In those days between the three of us, only I remembered this dish. Even if she was smarter, it was still impossible for her to compare with me, and she would only be able to compare with you and Junior Sister. Senior Brother, aren't you making things too difficult for him? '' Qiao Nan respectfully protested against Chen Xi, but his words were filled with self-praise. Clearly, this fellow was extremely futile at all costs.
"Yes, Senior Brother, you won't envy the appearance of Little Brother Chen Xi who is more handsome than you right? And you didn't use any different methods to send him packing, did you? I wouldn't approve. "Pei Pei rolled his eyes and started using his own methods to protest against Chen Xi.
The blood vessels on the forehead of old man Ma appeared as he gritted his teeth and barked. "SILENCE! You're a narcissist and you're a crazy boy! What qualifications do you have to challenge me? I am senior brother, my words are final! ”
Qiao Nan and Pei Pei fell silent once again, with the helpless appearance of succumbing to despotic power.
"It's not a problem, is it?" Although Bai Wanqing did not know the difficulty of the Rainbow Spindrift, but from the behavior of Qiao Nan and Pei Pei, he could roughly guess the difficulty.
He could not help but have a worried expression as he looked at Chen Xi, and he was extremely suspicious in his heart. Could this old fart really make things difficult for Chen Xi?
Chen Xi nodded towards Bai Wanqing, she was very calm and practically did not hesitate before saying, "Rainbow Spindrift is made from Azure Spiral Root, Inky Laurel Flower, Violet Vine Nine Leaf Fruit, Violet Vine Nine Leaf Fruit, Naga Feeler Poria Branch …"
Chen Xi recited with a voice that carried a unique trace of serene strength, as it echoed into the ears of everyone present in an orderly manner.
“100 This material has attributes that include five elements, Yin, and Yang. Everything requires being sliced into threads that reach a smooth state like cotton fibers, and this is the first step. The second step is to use the 10,000 Year Old Stalactite Milk as a pond, then sort these ingredients into different attributes before soaking them and processing them in the pond. Up to the core of the fine thread like water and flexible like tendons, then use the Azurewood Spirit Flame, Tenthwater Spirit Flame, Crimsonfire Spirit Flame. ”.
Not too long ago, Chen Xi had already talked about nearly 100 materials of various attributes, then started talking about material handling. Bai Wanqing did not understand this, but she clearly saw that along with the names of the materials floating out of Chen Xi's mouth one by one, she clearly saw that, the expressions on old man Ma and the others gradually became serious and their eyes vaguely revealed a trace of astonishment.
He couldn't help but quietly sigh in relief, and a mouthful of pride appeared in his heart as he anticipated Chen Xi's performance even more.
“Oh, this kid's memory is not bad. He will soon be following me during that year. "Qiao Nan was shocked as she spoke in a tone that had an unnatural trace."
“Cannot be! You are still in vain even now? I Remember that although you remembered all the moves of the Rainbow Spindrift that year, you also had over ten omissions. Little brother Chen Xi had no trace of blame until now. "Pei Pei exposed him endlessly.
Shame flashed across Qiao Nan's face, then his face was gloomy. “Actually, I was able to reach perfection back then, but it was all because I was too kind-hearted and could not bear to cause you and senior brother to lose face. So, I intentionally … "
"Shut up!" Old man Ma pressed his voice and cut. "I really took the student, didn't listen to you blow your own trumpet!"
Qiao Nan lightly sighed, then unhurriedly stroked his chin. He had a gloomy and secluded expression of not being understood, but in his heart he was instead burning impatiently. He was confused and irritated as he nagged. “Nak, hurry up and make a mistake. Otherwise, my strong and talented image would be completely destroyed. How can I start a conversation with beautiful girls in the future …? ”
However, what caused Qiao Nan to despair was that fifteen minutes had passed, but Chen Xi still did not have one omission. Instead, his mind became clearer and clearer, his speech speed getting faster and faster, it could only be said that his mouth was like a rushing river flowing out like a flood.
Pei Pei muttered crazily. “The confident man is the most handsome. Mmm, Big Brother has been captured and caught in the snare of love, and I can't free myself. ”
Bai Wanqing shone, and she repeatedly repeated. "Not bad, not bad …"
Ma's pale, stiff face had already bloomed into a smile, like a daisy blooming vigorously after autumn.
…
“In conclusion, as long as these different materials are handled according to these steps that I have mentioned, it can actually form the unique exterior of the spindrifts to create a rainbow manifest, after roasting it with the Spirit Gathering Yin Flame. ”
After the time for the incense to burn, Chen Xi finally fully explained all the steps of the Rainbow Spindrift. When he raised his eyes to look, he instead noticed that the people around him were all dumbfounded with a dazed appearance, and he could not help but be a little surprised when he thought to himself. Could I have made a mistake?
He had no idea how shocked these two hours of him were to explain without the slightest mistake led to the others, but he was very clear that today was the moment he spoke the most, he said, and it was practically worth the amount he said in a year .
"Cough . Mmm, being able to achieve such a degree in 10 days, your natural talent is fine. “After such a long time, old man Ma coughed dry to break the silence.
Chen Xi let out a sigh of relief, it's fine as long as he passes the test. As for how his natural talent was, he did not care to fuss about it.
"What do you mean by natural talent is okay?" Qiao Nan was as if provoked, and he had no trace of calm anymore. He waved his hand as if he was in a frenzy as he roared. "How can a person who is a genius greater than this genius be referred to as a natural talent that is fine? Then what about me? Trash with stupid natural talent? "
Pei Pei also could not bear the evaluation of old man Ma, and he spoke with very sharp words. "Senior Brother, when you explained the Rainbow Spindrift to Master all those years ago, you were oppressed until your face turned red. You hum and chew for more than half a day, and even more than half of it is wrong, you … "
Old man Ma felt embarrassed to the point that he became so angry when his scar was revealed on his face, and he roared to interrupt Pei Pei at once. “Is it not enough if I admit he is a genius? Will you two die if you keep your mouth shut and just shut up !? ”
Old man Ma paused for a moment, then said weakly, “Actually, I'm afraid he'll be arrogant, so I just hit his confidence small. ”
Qiao Nan and Pei Pei rolled their eyes together.
Chen Xi was puzzled by this, she had very little awareness about the importance of being a genius, and she only muttered in her heart. These three guys are really weird …
Bai Wanqing pulled at the corner of Chen Xi's arm and said softly. "Did you know in advance that old man Ma will test this Rainbow Spindrift?"
Chen Xi was surprised then shook her head. "I don't know. ”
Bai Wanqing said in astonishment, "That means you've completely mastered An Ultimate, the Illustrated Guide to Food Ingredients and the Collection of Spirit Flames?"
Chen Xi was confused. "Is there a problem?"
He was indeed very confused, as far as he knew, instead of just memorizing a few words, what was so deserving of surprise?
Bai Wanqing was finally convinced of Chen Xi's tone. This fellow had actually completely memorized both books, and he could not help but have a trace of shock appearing within him.
He had once glanced at the Stylish Food Guide Ingredients, Main Illustrations, and there were several tens of thousands of ingredients. Wanting to remember all the names, attributes, appearances, effects, growth environment, etc., of these tens of thousands of materials was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Chen Xi memorized them all in 10 days. How not to surprise others?
But this was unimportant, as if it was another person with a shocking memory, as long as that person was willing to spend time, then that person would also be able to do this. The important thing was that Chen Xi not only remembered these ingredients, but was also able to master in detail the dishes that could be cooked with these ingredients and every step during the cooking process without any mistakes. This is what makes others feel the most surprised.
Of course, if Chen Xi was a Violet Palace Realm cultivator who had condensed the Power of Perception, he would naturally be able to memorize everything within 10 days. But the fact was that Chen Xi only had the cultivation of the 3rd level of the Innate Realm and had long been seen by old man Ma and the others. Thus, it was absolutely impossible for them to think of him as a Violet Palace Realm cultivator.
It was precisely for this reason that old man Ma and the others felt extremely shocked and regarded Chen Xi as an outstanding and intelligent genius.
Bai Wanqing had discovered all of this now, and other than being shocked, she couldn't help but feel proud and happy for Chen Xi.
He knew how much suffering the young man before him had suffered from such a young age, and what kind of hardships he had experienced. Now that he was reborn and started emitting rays of his own, how could it not make him happy?
"Old man, Ma, since you have recruited a disciple, then signed a pact with me. "Just at that moment, an ice-cold voice sounded faintly from outside, and accompanied by this voice, the door was pushed open. An extremely beautiful young girl walked over with an arrogant and cold cold expression.
