Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, but everyone was still resting in Qingtang Acropolis.
Because Qin Shaoyou is still in seclusion.
This guy has been in seclusion since the day he returned to Qingtang Acropolis, and no one knows how long he will be in seclusion.
At the same time, everyone is also curious, what on earth is he doing in seclusion?
Because others retreated, they either chose a quiet place or a place with abundant spiritual energy, but Qin Shaoyou was better off. The place for retreat was actually in the kitchen.
Is a place like the kitchen a place of spiritual practice?
Not to mention that Qin Baihu's retreat method is really weird.
It could be said that he was concentrating on retreating. Whenever food was delivered, without anyone reporting it, two rays of light, one red and one black, would fly out of the kitchen and bring the food into the kitchen at lightning speed.
As if I was afraid of being robbed.
Then the sound of clinking pots and pans will come from the kitchen, as well as the strange aroma that makes people drool!
Not to mention the night watchmen of Qingtang Acropolis, this unique way of retreat has never been seen before. Even Qin Qiaoer, Zhu Xiucai and others found it rare.
Although they had seen Qin Shaoyou in retreat before, at that time, Qin Shaoyou always retreated after eating spiritual food, unlike now, where he is in retreat while cooking.
Is this kind of retreat to improve one's cultivation, or is it to practice hard at cooking?
Everyone was just curious about Qin Shaoyou's retreat, but the cook in the Demon Suppression Department was full of embarrassment.
He wanted to go into the kitchen to cook, but was afraid of disturbing Qin Shaoyou's retreat.
But if you don't go in, the night watchman in the Yamen will be waiting for food.
In the end, it was Zhu Xiucai and others who had experience and gave the chef, nicknamed Da Zhou, an idea. They asked him to find someone to build a shed in the yard and build a stove to serve as a temporary kitchen. This solved the problem of cooking.
The problem.
However, Zhu Xiucai and others did not eat the food cooked by Da Zhou.
Before Qin Shaoyou went into seclusion, he left the mandarin duck hot pot to them. These days, they have been making hot pot every day, but they made the colleagues in Qingtang Acropolis envious. They drooled a lot. Of course, they also got a lot of vegetables to eat.
The night watchmen at Qingtang Acropolis almost bit off their tongues after cooking the hot pot. They were so envious of Zhu Xiucai and the others that they wished they could eat such delicious food every day.
What they didn't know was that Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youhang and others, whom they envied, were full of curiosity and anticipation for the new dishes Qin Shaoyou was tossing in the kitchen.
The aroma coming from the kitchen is too tempting, and Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others are experienced and know that the more attractive the aroma of the dish, the better the effect will be after eating it.
So, when Qin Shaoyou was making Huode meatballs, Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youwei, two bold guys, couldn't help but were aroused by the aroma wafting from the kitchen.
After some private calculations, we quietly formed a group and wanted to get into the kitchen.
The two of them were somewhat self-aware and did not dare to steal food. They just wanted to steal some leftovers to taste and enjoy themselves.
It's a pity that the two people's little wish was not realized in the end.
Who is the Grandmaster? When eating new dishes, he always licks the bowl clean. Where will there be any leftovers?
Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai were also carried away by the aroma of vegetables and forgot about their master's fault in protecting food...
They went to the kitchen in the middle of the night, but never returned. It was not until the next day that they were found on two trees in the southeast outside the gate of the Demon Suppression Division.
Those two trees were originally growing straight, but they were crushed by Cui Youxuan and Zhu Xiucai into a crooked shape, which made everyone laugh at them, saying that they were hung on the southeast branches, making the whole place full of joy.
air.
Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai dared not speak out in anger, for fear that if they complained, their ancestor would take revenge and continue to hang them on the southeast branch...
However, after this incident, it became clear to everyone that the kitchen was the place that Grandmaster focused his attention on in the past few days, so no one dared to come up with new dishes.
At noon on the seventh day.
Qin Shaoyou, who had eaten and drank enough, sat cross-legged next to the stove, using his energy to absorb the spiritual energy of the dishes.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he felt that a layer of membrane was easily pierced. He instantly had a different understanding of his own power and the world than before.
It seems that I can see the world more clearly. I also have control over my own power and can use it more freely.
Qin Shaoyou, who was moved, opened his eyes and ended his practice.
In the past seven days, Qin Shaoyou cooked all the new dishes from his trip to Qingtang and shared them with his ancestor.
These delicious new dishes made the Grandmaster very satisfied, and even the statue of the Grandmaster that was invited into the kitchen became full of oil.
Because some of the dishes were made in large quantities, there were still some leftovers after the two of them ate them, so Qin Shaoyou 'packed' them and put them into the [Human Arsenal], keeping them for feeding to Sixth Sister, Li Erlang and the others after the retreat.
Master and others.
In the past seven days, in addition to cooking, Qin Shaoyou has been using the Xuanwu Zhen Gong and Breathing and Breathing Techniques as he did just now to refine and absorb the spiritual energy contained in the new dishes.
Qin Shaoyou's blood, spirit and even soul were greatly improved during this process.
His cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds, just like the racing god of Qiu Mingshan.
It is at this moment that the blood, spirit and soul have reached the level of promotion, successfully promoted to the third level realm, and entered the realm of demigods.
The whole process was extremely smooth, there was no obstacle at all, everything just fell into place.
And the moment Qin Shaoyou opened his eyes, the people outside the kitchen were severely shocked.
A powerful, otherworldly power was released from the kitchen and swept through the entire Demon Suppression Department instantly, making everyone feel it clearly.
Li Erlang was okay, but except for him, everyone else was frightened by this power.
Some of the night watchmen with lower cultivation levels were so suppressed that they could not breathe smoothly, their legs trembled, and they wanted to kneel to the ground at one point.
At the critical moment, it was Qin Qiaoer, a person who had seen the world, who reacted in time.
She quickly asked Li Erlang for help, and was able to block the demigod power released by Qin Shaoyou due to his breakthrough in the realm.
After Li Erlang took action, the night watchmen in the Demon Suppression Department all felt relieved and relieved.
In fact, at this time, not only Li Erlang, but also the ancestor took action.
The Patriarch limited the demigod power released by Qin Shaoyou within the Demon Suppression Division, preventing it from spreading out and affecting the ordinary people outside, and did not let the informants of various forces hiding in the dark discover this situation.
Zhu Xiucai let out a breath and looked at the kitchen with shock on his face.
"Is this the power of a demigod? It's coming from the kitchen? It seems like we are the only ones there, right? He has only been in seclusion for a few days, and he has broken through to the third level, the realm of demigods? This, this, this..."
He wanted to say how the hell did he do this? Considering Qin Shaoyou's excellent hearing, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Next to Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youyi also had a look of shock on his face, and there was also envy flashing between his brows.
"Lord Qin has become a demigod now? It doesn't take long for his strength to reach the fourth level, right? Isn't it said that rising from the fourth level to the third level is as difficult as ascending to the sky, so people who are above the third level are called demigods?
How come it was so smooth when I got here? Where are the bottlenecks? Where are the difficulties? Why are they all gone? Is this the benefit of being a cook for the grandmaster?"
When Cui Youyou said this, his body suddenly trembled, as if he had discovered some terrible secret. His eyes kept turning, and it seemed that he had no good intentions, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Monk Ma clasped his hands together and recited Amitabha, with a serious and admiring look on his face: "I am not surprised at all by your master's breakthrough in cultivation. We masters have great wisdom and great wisdom. If you are promoted to demigod, you will naturally not be surprised.
What's the problem? He's walking faster and faster, we have to speed up the pace to catch up, don't be pulled further and further away by him, and in the end we won't even be qualified to help him."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiucai was stunned and his expression became serious.
As for the three wild gods Tai Sui Shenjun, Wu Nu Fairy and Puppet Marshal, they also ran out of their respective rooms to watch the fun after feeling the power of the demigods released by Qin Shaoyou.
They were very excited about Qin Shaoyou becoming a demigod.
Because in their opinion, the stronger Qin Shaoyou is and the higher his level, the greater the success rate of conferring them as gods in the future.
Li Erlang and Qin Qiaoer were both worried and happy about Qin Shaoyou stepping into the realm of demigods.
What made Qin Qiaoer happy was that if there weren't subordinates and colleagues around her, she would have laughed out loud.
My brother is really promising and has actually become a demigod. It seems that the old Qin family will become famous far and wide in the future.
The worried person is Li Erlang.
Qin Shaoyou has become a demigod and is one step closer to death. He really doesn't know when he will be able to report to his Shui Mansion and take up the post of prime minister.
Li Erlang felt sad when he thought of this.
He couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xiucai, quietly thinking: I'm afraid I can't count on this brother. Why don't I lower my requirements and let this sly-looking guy go up first? Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he's better than me.
That brother died a long time ago, he was just a little bit ugly...
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou in the kitchen clearly heard the movements and discussions outside.
He put away his outward display of power and felt very happy in his heart. After thinking about it, he took out a stick of incense from his arms, lit it with blood and energy, turned it into fire, and turned around and gave it to the statue of the Patriarch of Jiutian Dangmo.
It's great to have the ancestor to block arrows.
If anyone asks him in the future why he was able to break through to the third level so easily, he can blame the ancestor.
No, he doesn’t even need to blame others, others will take the initiative to think so.
