09524 - Chat with a professional

Seeing that I had been staring at them for a long time, the disciples of the Gate of Rebirth choir politely extended an invitation to me: "Do you want to join the battle, Fellow Daoist Pei?"

Me: "Should I be tested as a teammate, or as the target of the team's attack?"

"It's all right. If you are interested and have time, you can try both. But if you try to form an formation, you may have some difficulties in cooperating with other formations."

In this group of practitioners, there are both Jindan stage and Nascent Soul stage, so it is not awkward for me to join in.

I identified that the person who invited me and the person who participated in the formation training did not reject me, at most it was a feeling of indifference, and considering what Lao Xin said not long ago about the disposition of the disciples of the reincarnation gate, so I participated After a few hours, I gained the "Feasibility Analysis of Jade and Hamster Teaming Up to Maintain Their Appearance".

After I left the formation, I asked, "Is it the complete version of the textbooks about sound that can be borrowed in the library of the Gate of Rebirth, which is not higher than the Jindan level?"

Chang Yue, who invited me to participate in the battle, replied: "Actually, this whole set of textbooks is mainly for the foundation-building level, and the part for the Jindan level only adds some practical cases. The ten friendly Nascent Soul Stages should be fully open."

Then I'll finish reading it, but these may not be enough to guide at least tens of thousands of hamsters to form formations, especially the teaching material of the Gate of Rebirth focuses on guiding human monks rather than training spirit beasts.

Chang Yue: "If you still want to have a deeper understanding of this aspect, maybe you can ask a professional music repairer. You should be familiar with the disciples of the master of our past life who are music repairers? For example, senior brother Ding Hongdou, he has a Time loves going to your candy store."

But apart from sweets, Ding Hongdou and I didn't have much communication.

Chang Yue: "Or you can go and chat with the disciples of Qingyinya. Although the training method of Qingyinya is quite different from the voice training of the gate of death, there are still some commonalities in the source."

I nodded, thanked Chang Yue for her guidance, and then went to find Ding Hongdou nearby.

When I arrived, Senior Ding was playing the piano, but the cream cake placed next to the piano made the atmosphere look rather inelegant.

Ding Hongdou: "Your sweet tooth skills have improved?"

Me: "Since I handed over the candy house to the official management of Yunxia Sect, I haven't focused on the issue of sweets anymore."

Ding Hongdou: "Whether you focus on thinking is not necessarily related to whether you have made progress. Sometimes progress depends on instant inspiration, and sometimes it is driven by progress in other fields. All the knowledge and skills you learned before you gave birth They should all be polished and made progress during the Nascent Soul Tribulation."

09525-Still hungry

Ding Hongdou: "Why don't you make a dessert on the spot for me to taste, and then I will give you some comments?"

Me: "If you feel that my sweet tooth ability has improved a little bit, can you tell me more about the sound training knowledge of the gate of death?"

Ding Hongdou: "You ask so, are you sure that you have made progress?"

That's what the crazy operators just told me.

During the golden elixir period, the average level of the sweets I made could only be at the golden elixir level, and only occasionally when I performed supernormally could it reach the Nascent Soul level; but now the average level of the sweets I made should be at the Nascent Soul level.But there is a problem here: high grades are not necessarily delicious, especially not necessarily delicious in the sense of sweets.

For example, I may make Yuanying-level delicious fried potato chips, but this may not meet the taste of sweet tooth lovers, let alone a very spicy hot pot-flavored cake.Also, Nascent Soul-level poison is also Nascent Soul-level food, but it obviously has nothing to do with deliciousness.

I answered Ding Hongdou cautiously: "In my sense, I have made progress, but I am not sure whether this direction of progress is in line with your taste, Senior Ding. So I hope you can properly stand outside your sense of taste when tasting , to evaluate my progress from a more objective perspective."

Ding Hongdou: "If you make tricky food, no matter how subtle it is, it will bore me."

Me: "I'm not being tricky, I'm also against being tricky. I guarantee that the food I make will at most not suit your taste within the normal range, such as salty or spicy, but it will definitely not make your tongue feel... ...colorful."

Ding Hongdou: "What kind of description is this?"

Me: "Just... I don't mean to be a pica."

Ding Hongdou: "Discriminate against pica?"

Me: "If you can even accept pica, then I will feel more at ease."

Ding Hongdou picked up the cream cake next to the piano, took a bite, and said after swallowing, "Let's lay out the things and talk. Empty talk doesn't make you hungry."

Me: "In the Nascent Soul Stage... will there be spiritual hunger?"

Pei Bing: "Yes. I feel empty all over without eating for a few minutes."

Ding Hongdou: "I don't force it. Anyway, it's best to eat what I have. If I really don't have anything to eat, I can also use music to fill my stomach."

Me: "Are you an orthodox sound repairer in the sense of Qingyinya?"

Ding Hongdou laughed: "Although it's not very good to say so, but Qingyinya is a second-rate sect that can't even raise a single one in the stage of transforming gods, so what is orthodoxy? How dare the Yinyang sect say that their method of raising ghosts is orthodox?"

09526 - stereotype

Me: "When you say 'raising ghosts', the listener will easily associate with many evil scenes. Such as transshipment, giving money, and cursing the enemy to misfortune."

Ding Hongdou: "Look at this stereotype."

Me: "Speaking of stereotypes, senior Ding, you are quite different from the disciples of the past life gate in my impression. When you want to be mean, you will be straightforward and mean, and you will not be obsessed with showing gentleness; The main occupation, and the effect of the repair is closer to the conventional sound repair, rather than the voice technique of the gate of rebirth; the hobby is sweets that are too grounded and have no sense of ethereal. "

Ding Hongdou: "As a Nascent Soul Stage of the Inner Sect of the Rebirth Sect, I think there is nothing to question my image as a disciple of the Sect of Rebirth."

Me: "It's not a question, but a feeling: the species diversity of the Gate of Rebirth is beyond my imagination."

Ding Hongdou sneered.At the same time, I received a message from Fu Xian, one of the former canteen chefs of Yunxiazong, saying that he had a new idea for making food, and asked me if I was interested in trying it, and said that if it can amaze me, maybe he I can conceive a baby.

Fu Xian: "I definitely don't mean to put pressure on you, and you don't have to force me to give me a good review when you don't think it tastes good. Just try it casually, if it doesn't work, I'll go and find my chance."

Me: "Mei Shuanli also said the same..."

Fu Xian smiled as if he was really unstressed: "Second Young Master, you are really like a point of opportunity distribution. If everyone has inspiration, come and touch you. Maybe there will be surprises. Even if you are unlucky and don't get surprises, at least There is no danger. You must know that many opportunities that you don’t know whether you can get are accompanied by huge dangers, such as exploring the secret realm, if you don’t pay attention, your life will be confessed inside, how rare is such a safe opportunity like you.”

Me: "If I can really give opportunities to the Yunxia Sect disciples, I will definitely not be stingy. Should we meet in the Yunxia Sect this time, or can you give me the coordinates and I will go find you?"

Fu Xian: "It's best for me to find you. At the moment when I need you, I should cooperate with your footsteps to increase my chance to come. I heard that you are now in the gate of death? Is it convenient for me to cook in the gate of death? ? Or are you going to type it out again soon?"

Me: "No. I'm about to make sweets for a senior at the gate of death. If you come, you can make food together. What kind of food are you going to make this time?"

Fu Xian: "Originally I was still hesitating among several types, but now it seems that it is sweets."

Me: "Your strengths in the past were not sweets, but big dishes. Is it so earth-shaking after going out to practice?"

Fu Xian: "You might as well try everything. The category of cafeteria dishes is all-inclusive, regardless of whether it is a big dish or a dessert. Feed the disciples full, prevent them from screaming hungry, and prevent them from being poisoned by unpalatable dishes to the point of discipline Complain about us everywhere, and you're done."

... So it turns out that what Fu Xian cultivated was not the way of gourmet food, nor the perception of people's taste, but the canteen's stuffing duck?Didn't he express that when he resigned from the cafeteria?

Pei Jianzhuo: "This is because after some experience, I have recognized myself more clearly."

09527-Professional cook

I said to Ding Hongdou: "There is a professional Yunxiazong chef who just wants to cook for me. Would you like to taste it together? He also cooks sweets this time."

Ding Hongdou: "Yunxia sect...professional chef? What profession in the cultivation world can be called a professional chef?"

Me: "Canteen chef."

Ding Hongdou: "..."

Me: "What's your expression? What's wrong with the cafeteria? Our Yunxiazong cafeteria has a lot of delicious food."

Ding Hongdou: "No matter how delicious the food is, placed in the background of the cafeteria, it seems...too smoky."

Me: "You are also a stereotype."

Ding Hongdou: "Come if you want. If it's not delicious, it's just a matter of tasting it. There's nothing to delay."

While speaking, Fu Xian had already submitted an application for admission to the Gate of Rebirth, and it was quickly approved-it is generally easy for the top ten disciples to visit each other, and under the elders, the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is.Only those who come here to find trouble at first glance are easy to be turned away.

Before Fu Xian arrived in front of me and Ding Hongdou, I had already prepared a dessert for Ding Hongdou, which was jelly.

After Ding Hongdou took a bite and ate it, he asked, "Do you really like jelly? There were a lot of jelly in the candy house when you had it, and there were also jelly-style ones in the reading group."

Me: "Among the sweets, I like jelly and unsweetened cream the best."

Ding Hongdou: "Children's taste."

Me: "Whether this jelly has shown my progress, you can tell me."

Ding Hongdou "hmm" for a second, and then said: "The professional chef is here, let's taste his dishes first, and then come to comment together."

When Ding Hongdou finished speaking, Fu Xian landed in front of us, and without further ado, he took out the whole set of kitchen utensils including the stove, and asked us, "I'm starting now?"

Ding Hongdou: "Fellow Daoist, please."

Me: "Please be sure to conquer this Senior Ding's sense of taste."

Ding Hongdou smiled with disbelief, but he still said, "Come on. I'm looking forward to it."

Fu Xian's cooking techniques are much more complicated than mine.I basically prepare all the raw materials and finish it with a single swing of the sword. If the whole process takes more than 1 minute, it must be because my attention was distracted during the process of getting the raw materials, and I accidentally forgot that I was cooking.But Fu Xian made this dish for five hours, during which Ding Hongdou's expression changed from casual to focused, and finally he really fell into anticipation.
