Xu Huayuan took the list written by Ning Xiang and went to the medicine hall, leaving Ning Xiang alone. In her words, she wanted Ning Xiang to take advantage of this time to think carefully about how to combine spiritual kitchen and medicine more comprehensively.
Tao combined.
Ning Xiang flipped through the recipes given by Lu Feng, comprehending some of the cooking experiences and records in them, and her heart gradually became enlightened.
"Strengthen the meridians and strengthen the bones, be careful and tasteless, straighten the bones and soften the tendons, circulate Qi and blood, densely regulate the joints, use essence in the tibia, follow the Tao and follow the Dharma, and you will have destiny..."
"Sour is used to nourish the bones, pungent is used to nourish the tendons, salty is used to nourish the pulse, bitter is used to nourish the qi, sweet is used to nourish the meat, and smooth is used to nourish the soul..."
"Medicine is combined with food, medicine borrows the power of food, food supports the power of medicine, medicine and food are combined..."
Although the book contains only a few words about medicinal methods and ingredients, it makes Ning Xiang even more convinced that the proper combination of medicinal ingredients and ingredients can complement each other and produce unexpected effects.
There are a total of twenty-eight kinds of medicinal materials that Ning Xiang wrote on the paper. She is not sure what ratio can better combine with tofu. Among the twenty-eight medicinal materials, she can think of at least hundreds of ways to combine them.
Xu Huayuan came to the medicine hall and started asking the prisoners to arrest the medicinal materials according to the list. She saw that most of the spiritual merits marked on the medicine cabinet ranged from tens to five hundred, and thought to herself that it was okay, it was not expensive.
"Prepare two portions of each item for me," Xu Huayuan ordered the prisoner. Thinking that this was Ning Xiang's first attempt, Xu Huayuan changed her words and said, "No, prepare three portions of each item for me."
"Yes," the prisoner obeyed and grabbed it.
During the settlement, Xu Huayuan looked at the bill blankly and frowned: "What's going on? Why does it cost tens of thousands?"
The person in charge of the accounts of the medicine hall came over, looked at the running water, and explained: "Hallmaster Xu, there are several herbs on this list that are very scarce, and each flavor costs thousands of souls. What do you want?"
It’s still three big portions.”
Xu Huayuan smiled awkwardly when she heard this. As the head of the hall, she couldn't retreat shamelessly, so she had to pay off her spiritual merit. Although she had a lot of spiritual merit, she couldn't stand such a torment.
It's just that the experiment has just begun, and it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not, and it costs so much.
"That's all, we can't dampen the enthusiasm of young people."
In the kitchen of the Spiritual Food Hall, Ning Xiang has written down more than a dozen ways of mixing. Although she still has many ways of matching in her mind, her current strength is not enough to support her in cooking more spiritual dishes.
Xu Huayuan returned to the kitchen with a full half of Najie's medicinal materials.
Ning Xiang opened her mouth in surprise: "Teacher Xu, why did you bring back so many medicinal materials?"
"I'm afraid you won't have enough, so I've prepared three more for you."
Ning Xiang said awkwardly: "Teacher Xu, many medicinal materials on my list have similar medicinal properties and can be substituted for each other, so we don't need so many."
Xu Huayuan twitched the corner of her mouth and said encouragingly: "It's okay. Just keep the extra ones for now. You can use them later."
"Thank you, instructor."
Ning Xiang classified the medicinal materials into categories: nourishing qi, promoting blood circulation, channeling spirits, dredging menstruation, strengthening bones, nourishing the soul, detoxifying... According to the characteristics and effects of the medicinal materials, they were divided into small piles.
"There are nearly thirty nine-petal lotus seeds," Ning Xiang said in surprise. She had seen the price of nine-petal lotus seeds in the medicine hall before. It took more than 4,000 spiritual merits to exchange for one nine-core lotus. Each flower
There are only about nine lotus seeds in the lotus.
The medicinal value of the nine-petal lotus seeds is very high. When used to test dishes, Ning Xiang was a little reluctant to mix it with the lackluster tofu.
"You guys can try it first," Ning Xiang casually took the Schisandra chinensis and White Poria cocos, mixed them with the tofu, started cooking with the inner fire of her palms, and let them blend with each other, combining the nourishing energy of Schisandra chinensis and the menstrual evacuation medicine of White Fuling.
The effect is slowly blended into the tofu.
"The effect of the medicine has become weaker," Ning Xiang felt the changes in the cooking and felt a flash of disappointment. Although the effect of the medicine has become weaker, it does not mean failure, but even if it succeeds, the quality of the spiritual food will not be much higher, or even
It may be worse than taking a single medicinal material directly.
Ning Xiang tried adding other medicinal materials such as Fu Dihuang to neutralize and improve, but the effect was very meager.
In order to avoid the loss of medicinal effect and spiritual energy, Ning Xiang put the tofu and many mixed medicinal materials into a jade pot.
Continue cooking, while incorporating spiritual energy, add various condiments and adjust the taste.
The palm soul fire cooked with Ning Xiang's strength is not a substantial flame, but a concentrated spiritual energy with temperature. It can be used as an open fire to a certain extent. After the Five Elements Realm is refined and the fire energy is absorbed, it can
The condensed inner fire of the palm will turn into substance.
After one-fifth of the spiritual energy in the body was consumed, and it lasted for a whole stick of incense, bursts of fragrance finally came out of the pot.
"It's done?" Xu Huayuan looked on expectantly.
Ning Xiang shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Although I managed to cook the dishes, I'm afraid they can't even be called low-grade spiritual dishes."
"I didn't control the proportions and heat of the various medicinal materials. Too much of the medicinal properties were lost when they were combined."
"When I released the spiritual energy, I didn't take into account the situation inside the pot. If it conflicts with the spiritual power of the medicinal materials themselves, I'm afraid the tofu dregs may not even be found."
Xu Huayuan comforted: "A spiritual chef who relies solely on recipes cannot cook the best spiritual food. Any spiritual food is the summary of countless failures by predecessors. You have just started. As long as you persist and experiment slowly, you will always be successful."
There will be a day of success."
"Well, the taste is still good, but it looks a little different," Xu Huayuan had already filled a bowl and started eating it.
Looking at the mushy substance in the bowl, Ning Xiang quickly stopped and said, "Teacher Xu, don't eat this. If the medicinal properties conflict, it will be very harmful to the body."
"It's okay, they are all low-level elixirs, they can't hurt me," Xu Huayuan pursed her lips and replied, "There are too many seasonings, covering up the aroma of the medicinal materials, and the texture and taste of the tofu itself are not there either.
show out."
"Try changing the focus from taste to efficacy?"
Listening to Xu Huayuan's suggestion, Ning Xiang nodded and thought about it secretly. The instructor was not afraid of harming her body and sacrificed herself to try the food just to give suitable suggestions. Ning Xiang was unwilling to live up to his good intentions.
For the first time she cooked, she chose herbs that had a similar medicinal taste and would not be completely tasteless. Because the tofu itself had a very bland taste and needed to be supplemented with various ingredients and condiments, so the ones she chose were more edible.
As a result, although the cooked food has the taste, the medicinal properties and spiritual energy are not retained.
In the process of thinking, the spiritual energy consumed by Ning Xiang has almost recovered, and she has gained some experience in the combination of medicinal materials and food ingredients.
Ning Xiang started to select again. This time she selected medicinal materials of the same category. Her original plan was to mix medicinal materials with various effects, but it was too difficult to maintain a balance in cooking this way.
"First try some herbs that have the effect of activating blood circulation."
…
After another time of burning incense, Xu Huayuan did not smell a trace of fragrance this time. He looked at the big pot in front of Ning Xiang strangely and asked doubtfully: "Did the cooking succeed this time?"
Reaching out to open the lid, Xu Huayuan's face darkened, she covered her nose and quickly took a few steps back, controlling her aura to throw the lid back.
"This smell..."
It's sour and pungent, a bit like rotten dried fish, and it smells unappetizing.
As for ordinary dishes, color, aroma and flavor are the most basic things, and this is especially true for spiritual dishes. Even if this dish has the effect of spiritual food, it is difficult to eat.
Ning Xiang said awkwardly: "Although the medicinal properties were preserved in the end, I accidentally failed to control the taste when cooking the tofu and other seasonings."
"I'll arrange for someone to clean this pot. You can continue." Xu Huayuan took the pot away and replaced it with a new one.
In the school, Lu Feng originally planned to start the next training plan after everyone had lunch, but because Jun Ziyi and Qian Xin were still condensing the Nine Pattern Soul Pills, Ning Xiang had not successfully developed the spiritual food in the Ling Canteen.
, had no choice but to continue practicing in the morning.
This was very happy for Man Zhongli and Shao Yue. Originally, they had not completed their training goals. They thought they would be punished without lunch, but they did not expect that everyone would not have to eat and could continue to practice.
As a soul master, he relies on breathing spiritual energy to keep his whole body functioning. Even if he doesn't eat or drink for two or three days, there won't be any problems.
Zhao Yan sometimes dodged back and forth in the Qi Pillar, sometimes quietly practicing and summarizing outside the formation, and the time he stayed in the formation became longer and longer.
Lu Feng took advantage of his free time to engrave most of the jade stones in the Qilin Ring. The flags obtained from the secret place of Qu Mansion were inscribed with hundreds of flags. The meteorite heart plate and fan frame were also dismantled into countless small pieces and each was inscribed with
A peculiar texture.
It was not until the evening that Jun Ziyi and Qian Xin woke up from their trance. Their auras were much stronger than before. Jun Ziyi even touched half of his foot to the threshold of the Condensing Plate Realm, and Qian Xin was firmly consolidated.
At the early stage of the Dan Condensation Realm.
"Where's Xiang'er? Why haven't I seen her for a day?" Although Jun Ziyi has been in trance, he is aware of things in the school very clearly. He knows that Ning Xiang did not come back at noon, and everyone did not go to the spiritual cafeteria to eat.
.
"They should still be in the spiritual dining hall," Lu Feng gestured, "Please clean up everything and let's go over and take a look."
Jun Ziyi nodded, his face full of joy: "Teacher Lu, I succeeded. I feel that the spiritual energy in my body is very rich and full now, and my strength has improved a lot. Why don't you give me some tricks?"
Lu Feng had already made plans and refused: "Consolidate and consolidate today. Tomorrow I will take you to the martial arts room and let you fight to your heart's content."
"Are you afraid of losing?" Jun Ziyi laughed mischievously. In her heart, Lu Feng was still the formation master who was only at the chakra level, but he had good attainments in swordsmanship.
Lu Feng said calmly: "I will practice with you when your Qing Tianyudian sword practice reaches a higher level. Your sword skills are not good enough now."
Jun Ziyi surprisingly did not refute. Her swordsmanship was indeed inferior in the eyes of the other party. This was what she admired about Lu Feng. Although his cultivation was so weak, he actually had such profound attainments in the sword. What was even more annoying was that the other party was still an idiot.
