Dining hall.
A thin old man glared at Ning Zhuo: "It's you, a numb-faced child, who want me to cook on the spot?"
Ning Zhuo quickly clasped his hands: "Thank you, senior."
"Hmph." The old man glanced at Ning Zhuo, looking arrogant.
He is the head chef of Zangyang Beppu, although he has been trapped in the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building all his life, but the skills of the spirit chef are very good.
Ning Zhuo sat in front of the old man.
Many male concubines in the dining hall cast curious, envious, vigilant, jealous, etc. gazes at Ning Zhuo.
The old man of the spirit kitchen took out a huge bronze cauldron and poured a large amount of Mingjiao River water into it.
He took the lead with both hands, urging the ghost fire of the underworld and burning the bronze cauldron.
The cauldron trembled, the water in the inner river immediately boiled, and while the water vapor rose, it was accompanied by a faint sound of ghosts crying and snakes, which was very permeating.
The old man of the spirit kitchen took out a piece of black tortoise shell, rubbed it with his palm, and rubbed the carapace into a blue-gray powder.
He added the powder, boiled the pot water for a while, and immediately poured in a large amount of ingredients.
Soon after, he stopped the ghost fire and ended the production of this spiritual food.
The bronze pot was already filled with Styx Yellow Spring Soup, and the surface of the soup was as deep as ink jade.
Ning Zhuo took out the soup spoon, took a sip of the soup from the huge bronze pot, and put it in his mouth.
As soon as he entered it, he seemed to have swallowed a piece of bronze, or it was the kind that grew green rust.
Finally forced himself to swallow it, Ning Zhuo's throat still had a strong iron smell.
When he finished drinking all the soup, his tongue and lips took on a bronze color.
However, his soul base also skyrocketed. After every spiritual meal these days, Ning Zhuo's soul foundation at this moment has reached three hundred times that of ordinary people!
Seeing that Ning Zhuo was holding back, the old man bit the bullet and finished the pot full of soup, and couldn't help but look Ning Zhuo up and down: "Okay, after eating the dishes I cooked, you can still be considered a kid."
"However, you actually ate it directly, which is too disrespectful to me, is it that I made it so delicious?!"
The old man of the spirit chef had a strange temper, not only admiring Ning Zhuo's bite, swallowing it all into his stomach, but also blaming Ning Zhuo for eating too crisply, which made him have no sense of accomplishment in torturing the diners.
"Look at the second dish I made!" The old man of the spirit chef continued to make it.
He first took out a large cauldron and practiced around the cauldron, and soon thunderclouds and purple qi vortexes were formed in the cauldron.
The spiritual chef stepped on the steps and spoke vigorously, which was a mouthprint. At the same time, he threw out the Mysterious Bird Tear Crystal, split it into pieces with a palm knife, and threw them all into the cauldron.
He used his martial arts dragon claw hands, constantly striking the cauldron, and at the same time throwing in many ingredients again.
Some of the ingredients melt quickly, while others sink and float in the cauldron, which is very tenacious.
The old man of the spirit kitchen suddenly shouted lightly, and a muffled thunderous explosion suddenly erupted in the cauldron, and then a large black smoke quickly rose, lingering on the beam, as if a thick dark cloud had condensed.
The burning aura came to the nose, making Ning Zhuo and the others strongly suspect that the spirit chef had failed to make spiritual food.
But after waiting for the spirit chef to wave his sleeves and blow the black smoke clean, he sneered proudly and took out a few pieces of black crisps from the bottom of the cauldron.
It is spiritual food———— three lives of broken teeth.
"This is too hard!" Ning Zhuo tried to put it in his mouth, but his cheeks were so hard that he couldn't bite it.
He turned his gaze for help to the old man of the spirit kitchen.
The old man folded his arms and saw Ning Zhuo's dilemma, so he sneered proudly: "You can't even chew this, boy, do you still want to learn from others to order?"
Ning Zhuo couldn't help but snort, reflecting the young man's refusal to admit defeat.
Instead of using spells, he used magic to condense two fine blood veins on his cheeks, which greatly enhanced his bite force.
This time he nibbled on it again, and finally gnawed off a small piece of black pastry, it really felt like he was chewing black iron.
The key is that the black crisp tastes like the sour smell of rotten lotus pods, which makes Ning Zhuo want to vomit.
Every time he swallowed, Ning Zhuo felt his rolling Adam's apple, as if he was grinding hard against iron and stone.
The stomach also ushered in an unprecedented challenge, these pieces of black pastry were really too difficult to digest.
However, if this kind of spiritual food is resolved with mana, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced!
Ning Zhuo could only cover his stomach and hold back the faint swelling and pain.
The old man of the spirit kitchen looked at him playfully.
"No, if I continue to eat, I'm afraid my stomach will be difficult to digest, and the burden will be too heavy, causing jokes." Ning Zhuo had an idea and urged the demonic blood tendon skills.
His stomach suddenly swelled by 30%, the surface was full of muscle tangles, and his digestive ability was blessed by magic power, soaring several times!
The black pastry was finally slowly digested under such circumstances.
The bloating and pain in the stomach slowly eased.
Ning Zhuo ate slowly, accommodating his digestive ability, and finally did not look good.
The old man of the spiritual kitchen saw that Ning Zhuo had eaten the entire Sansheng Broken Tooth Crispy, his face was slightly clear, and he gave a positive evaluation: "I am a little qualified, taste my delicacies."
Ning Zhuo heard the words "gourmet food", and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
After all, he had eaten five servings of spiritual food, and his stomach was so swollen that he could only sit and lie half-lying in the position, enduring the envious or puzzled gaze of the people around him.
What is enviable is that Ning Zhuo does not hesitate to spend his own grades in exchange for a large amount of food to enhance his soul heritage, and the effect is excellent.
This is also the reason why many people will exchange their grades for elixirs to increase the output of yang energy, so as to make their grades better, so as to create a positive cycle. Why is this guy Jiao Ma, but "fluke" won 47th place, just on the list, so wasted and slack?
"The soul is three hundred and twenty times that of ordinary people."
"Just one meal has grown so much! It's really bad to eat badly, but it's really fragrant."
Ning Zhuo sighed sincerely.
Although he has not traveled many places so far, his experience is really rich, and his cognition has improved by leaps and bounds. At this moment, in this situation, Ning Zhuo understood very well: what a rare opportunity this soul practice is!
A head spoon like the old man of the spirit chef is not something he can touch at will.
There is no such unique regional environment as the White Paper Immortal City, which provides a large number of valuable fresh ingredients.
The combination of various conditions contributed to the current opportunity.
It seems ordinary, but it's actually quite rare.
"Just make up for my shortcomings!"
Ning Zhuo had suffered losses in this regard, and the battle between heaven and earth and two ghosts made him realize extremely deeply that the weakness of the soul was one of the fatal weaknesses.
Therefore, he has a strong motivation to promote his big shortcoming!
"I'm just in the foundation building period, not the golden elixir. Low cultivation is also beneficial. It means that with the help of cultivating various arts, you can more easily improve the places that the main practice cannot take into account."
When the cultivation level improves, such as reaching the Jindan period, if Ning Zhuo eats these underworld meals again, the effect will be greatly reduced.
When the cultivation is weak, it is also the best time to lay the foundation, so it should not be missed.
"Jiao Ma, how long have you been here, and you are actually on the list?"
"Do you have any experience that you can pass on to us?"
"You can exchange the hard-won results for these meals, so you don't have to worry about being brushed off."
Seeing Ning Zhuo lying down, some male concubines came to Ning Zhuo to talk and ask for advice with unwillingness.
Ning Zhuo covered his applauding belly and said lazily and proudly: "I majored in the "Sanjiao Zhengyang Sutra", and there is a miracle medicine secretly sold to me by Yang Weida, which is easier than most people, so don't worry."
But he opened his eyes and told nonsense, and he didn't mention a word about the real hero Yin-Yang Yiqi Pot.
Everyone heard their ears move slightly.
They all know about the "Sanjiao Zhengyang Jing".
Ning Zhuo was on the list, and this information became known to everyone after he broke through to the top fifty.
What is Yang Weida's miracle medicine?
Everyone quickly looked at each other and sensed each other's surprise. I didn't expect to really find out some valuable news, this Jiao Ma is too young!
Everyone's major exercises have been settled, and many people have even revised "Soul Fragrance Technique" and "Implied Ghost Fetus Technique".
But Yang Weida's elixir is available to everyone.
Alchemy is the first of all the arts of cultivation, and having such a skill is really convenient for many people.
And looking at Yang Weida's ranking, it is actually in more than 30!
This further proves that his miracle medicine is extremely effective.
So, many people directly abandoned Ning Zhuo on the spot, walked in a hurry, didn't say hello, and went to find Yang Weida.
There is no doubt that almost all of these people went to the aphrodisiac hospital. They are very self-motivated because of their own future.
Ning Zhuo also has his own self-motivation.
After digesting most of the spiritual food, he had some mobility, so he walked back to Room No. 1 and continued his practice.
If the male concubine of Zangyang Beppu is promoted to the Third Courtyard, she will meet with the funeral Youling alone, and after the latter's face-to-face divination, confirm that she is not a spy, and then she will enter the Third Courtyard.
At that time, Ning Zhuo will naturally see the funeral and the ghost, present the token, and get the divination opportunity he wants.
Now it can't be forced.
Mourning Youling has just been assassinated, and the wind and cranes are all soldiers, and Ning Zhuo's identity is likely to cause misunderstandings.
As for the yin-yang air pot, it cannot be exposed!
This treasure is of great value to the white paper city lord, and it is right in front of the road. Although the White Paper City Lord is the right path, in such a predicament, people's hearts are too unfathomable.
Ning Zhuo didn't need to put his own destiny on the ethics of others.
Even if the White Paper City Lord had no intention of murdering and had righteous morals, he couldn't stand the fact that the White Paper Immortal City was full of mistakes and leaks, and was infiltrated by the enemy into a sieve.
If Ning Zhuo embodies a key role, he is very likely to be fired and assassinated by the enemy.
Look at the funeral and the ghost, who holds a high position in the White Paper Immortal City, is the right-hand man of the city lord, and is also proficient in divination.
Ning Zhuo continued his practice.
He still had the National Power Brick in his hand, but when he reached the stage of the vision talisman, it was not the accumulation of quantity, but the understanding of the exercise itself.
Ning Zhuo practiced three exercises, and there was a happy problem!
The "Mirror Platform Psychic Technique" has been cultivated, and the progress of the "Five Elements Qi Rhythm Technique" is also very fast, after all, the realm of the five elements is quite profound. "Demon Stained Blood Tendon Technique" is Ning Zhuo's shortcoming, and the progress is quite average.
Ning Zhuo spent his main energy on comprehending "Demon Stained Blood Tendon Gong", and the time spent on "Five Elements Qi Rhythm" was only 20% of the former. In this way, the latter has far exceeded the former's progress.
Of course, Ning Zhuo not only practiced exercises, but also used the fetal breath spirit boat to exercise his physical body.
The improvement of physical foundation brings all-round benefits. Not to mention the spiritual food in front of you, your physical body improves, and your digestive ability also increases.
Finally, there is the soul.
"In this regard, my own requirements are the lowest, as long as I try to promote and make up for my shortcomings, and I will no longer be targeted like that."
Ning Zhuo himself thought so, but he didn't know that he was benchmarking the two ghosts of heaven and earth, and the standard was extremely high, far beyond soul cultivation.
The ghost tide continues to rise.
A large number of lantern ghosts appeared, releasing a lot of yin fire and scorching the white paper city wall, attracting the attention of most people.
The funeral music Youling suddenly sent a letter and sent it to the hands of the commander of the city guard, Tie Guzheng.
Tie Guzheng's consciousness was swept away, and he immediately mobilized a group of city guards to concentrate on the western city wall. He ordered them to use special paper daggers, not to worry about consumption, and to be on high alert for the enemy's ropes.
Sure enough, under the city wall on the west side, a group of hanging ghosts secretly gathered, and under the cover of the yin fire, they released the ropes together, tied them to the city wall, and climbed up rapidly.
Unexpectedly, the city guards were already prepared, and when they saw the rope coming up, they immediately used paper daggers to cut it off.
Without the ropes, all these hanging ghosts fell, and most of them died tragically on the spot.
When the good news came back, Tie Guzheng exhaled a breath of turbidity, secretly grateful to the funeral and the quiet performers, who were as reliable as ever.
In the Zangyang Beppu, Ning Zhuo's soul heritage quietly rose to four hundred and fifty times that of ordinary people.
……
Outside the city, thousands of ghosts rushed, impacting the white paper fairy city.
In the city, in a certain corner.
The Ghost Gate Pass was secretly built, and they were about to cooperate internally and externally to break the city together.
Suddenly, Wen Nephrite carried a group of city guards and went straight to this place.
As soon as the Ghost Gate Guan spat out some yin soldiers, they were blocked and directly pulled out!
If it weren't for the fortune-telling of the funeral and the ghostly spirit, and secretly sent a large number of yin soldiers to the ghost gate, then the problem would be difficult to deal with.
The noise and turmoil in the city were transmitted through the gate wall of Zangyang Beppu, causing the male concubines to talk a lot.
On the list, Ning Zhuo is still hanging in his forties, in the old man of the spirit kitchen
Under the gaze, he silently ate many servings of the underworld.
His soul foundation had already broken through the five hundred mark, reaching more than six hundred and ninety times that of ordinary people.
……
"Woowoo......"
In the ghost tide, several ghost mothers with huge physiques appeared.
These ghost mothers' bellies bulged high, constantly producing small and big ghost heads, bringing strong troops.
"Kill!" Tie Guzheng, who had already been reminded by the funeral Youling, had already organized a group of elites, and suddenly teleported into the ghost tide, slashed the ghost mother, and then quickly escaped.
More than a dozen good players died, and Tie Guzheng suffered minor injuries, but he also resolved this crisis.
Ning Zhuo's soul foundation rose to eight hundred and thirty-eight times that of ordinary people.
He finally waited for the opportunity.
A group of outstanding male concubines will be summoned by the mourning ———— to predict and calculate, and after passing, they will be able to successfully be promoted to the Third Academy.
