Nian Bing smiled faintly, "Miss Rou 'er, you only need to remember one condition of your loss. Come, let's go in."
Nian Bing, who had changed into a magician's robe, looked very different from before. The attendants at the entrance didn't recognize him at all, but these attendants naturally recognized Long Ling and Luo Rou. They hurried forward and respectfully said, "The two ladies have arrived. Are you here to see our young mistress?"
Long Ling paused and looked at Nianbing. Nian Bing said, "Call Miss Xuejing as well. We'll settle everything once and for all, so she won't continue to misunderstand me."
Long Ling nodded, "Then let's go in." The three followed the attendants into the main hall of the Breeze Pavilion. Compared to the Great Accomplishment Pavilion, this hall was much smaller, but the decorations were very unique. There were wooden decorations everywhere, and even the tables and chairs were no exception. They were all made of special wood. The entire hall exuded a faint fragrance, and soft music came from behind a curtain. It seemed to be the sound of a zither. The graceful music was very light, and there was no sense of noise.
Nian Bing couldn't help but praise inwardly. This was the first time he had come to this hall. He thought to himself, Breeze Pavilion's fame wasn't due to luck. Every detail of this place was the result of careful consideration.
Nian Bing said to the attendant, "Please ask Miss Xuejing to come out. We have something to ask of her. "
The attendant looked at Nian Bing in confusion. He only just realized that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Of course, he had seen Nian Bing before. But how could the Nian Bing when he was chopping firewood compare to this in terms of attire and temperament? The attendant looked at Long Ling and Luo Rou with uncertainty. Luo Rou nodded at him, "Go, tell Silence that Ling 'er and I are here. Tell her to come out quickly."
Luo Rou couldn't wait to find out what Nian Bing was up to. Looking at Nian Bing's confident expression, she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. After all, there weren't many things in Snowy City that could surprise her. She had always been known for her ability to devise strategies and win battles from a thousand miles away. However, ever since Nian Bing's appearance, she had been surprised more and more, almost never stopping for a moment. Whether it was the ice cream cake that was given to her as a birthday present or the investigation of the Demonslayer incident, she was filled with curiosity towards Nian Bing. Just when she thought that she had fully understood this person, this person suddenly told her that everything she knew was wrong. At this moment, her feelings were extremely complicated, and she really wanted to find out the truth.
After the waiter left, Nian Bing pulled a chair over and sat down. She gestured to the two girls and smiled. "What's wrong? . You two don't want to sit for a while? "
Long Ling smiled, "We've been sitting for a while, I'll just stand for a while. I once heard mother say that a girl's figure will be affected if she sits too much."
Luo Rou walked to Nian Bing's side, bent down, and whispered in his ear, "Silence is coming out. Have you thought about how to end this?"
Nian Bing smiled faintly, "Of course I've thought about it. Miss Wise Girl, I heard that you're already engaged. Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you sitting so close to me?"
Luo Rou was stunned, and her eyes fell on Long Ling, "You told him? Ling 'er, you're not jealous, are you? "
Long Ling heard this, and her face turned red, "Rou 'er, don't say that. Nian Bing and I are just friends, why would I be jealous? I'm just telling him the truth to prevent him from doing anything overboard."
Nian Bing chuckled and said, "No, no. I've always known my limits. Why would Ling 'er misunderstand?"
Long Ling rolled her eyes at him, "Misunderstand? I'm afraid not. I clearly remember that someone gave me a birthday present that day, and he didn't let us eat it. " The way she spoke, it was as if she was pouting coquettishly to her boyfriend. Her beautiful eyes moved, and the waiters at the side all fell into a daze.
Nian Bing thought to himself, It seems that Long Ling does have some feelings for me! I'm afraid I can't stay in Ice Snow City for too long. Luo Rou laughed, "You're still saying you're not jealous? Look at you."
Long Ling was embarrassed, and just as she was about to refute, she heard a clear voice, "Ling 'er, Rou' er, you're both here. I'm just frustrated and don't know what to do. Great, since you're all here, let's ask Uncle Ming to make us something good to eat. As long as I pester him, he'll definitely agree."
A red figure appeared along with the voice. Nian Bing suddenly realized that red was the most suitable color for Xuejing. When she wore a red dress, she was like a ball of fire that could melt everything.
As Long Ling and Luo Rou were standing in front of Nian Bing, blocking most of his body, Xuejing did not notice him. She came in front of the two girls, looked at Long Ling in surprise, and said, "Ling 'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Are you sick? "
When Luo Rou heard Xuejing's question, she immediately laughed out loud. Long Ling was so embarrassed that she wished there was a hole in the ground to hide in.
Nian Bing stood up and helped Long Ling out of the situation, "Miss Xuejing, we meet again."
The moment the tall Nian Bing stood up, he immediately attracted Xuejing's attention. Seeing him, Xuejing's expression changed greatly, and she said coldly, "It's you? Who let you come to our Cool Breeze Fasting again? A small temple like ours can't support a great god like you. Please leave, we don't welcome you. "
Nian Bing did not mind. He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xuejing, don't misunderstand. Today, let's just say that I am a guest here. Since Cool Breeze Fasting is open for business, then I don't think you have any reason to refuse a magician as a guest, right?"
Xuejing snorted. Just as she was about to say something, Luo Rou hurriedly said, "Silence, let's not be calculative about the past. Today, we came here with him to see how he would embarrass himself. Consider it as giving me face, okay?"
Xuejing paused, and asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
Nian Bing said, "Miss Xuejing, I think you must want to know why I went to Da Cheng Xuan, and then came to Cool Breeze Fasting to chop wood. With my status as a magician, there was no need for me to do this, but I really did."
Hearing this, Xuejing and Long Ling did not feel anything, but Luo Rou's heart began to beat faster. That's right! A smart person like him would never do something so pointless. Since he came to Cool Breeze Fasting to chop wood, he naturally had his reasons. It was definitely not as simple as hiding his identity to deal with the Demonslayer. Thinking of this, Luo Rou felt for the first time that she was about to lose the bet with Nian Bing.
Xue Jing snorted and said, "People like you don't have good intentions coming to the Cool Breeze Sect. How would I know what's wrong with your head? Why do you insist on chopping firewood? You're a good magician. I think you're either a fool or a lunatic."
Nian Bing said indifferently, "That's right. I came to Cool Breeze Fasting with good intentions, but not with bad intentions. You all want to know why, right? Very easy, I will tell you now. I will use my actions to tell you. Miss Xuejing, can you please ask Master Ming Yuan to come out? Actually, I came to Cool Breeze Fasting mainly for him. "
Xuejing was stunned and said, "For Uncle Ming?" She did not expect that Nian Bing would give such an answer.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "That's right. As long as you ask Master Ming to come out, everything will be clear."
Xuejing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you wait. I want to see what kind of relationship you have with Uncle Ming. He doesn't know you. "After saying this, she ran away like a red cloud.
Nian Bing said to the waiter, "Cool Breeze Fasting is one of the best restaurants in Ice City. I think you have all kinds of tableware here. Please bring me a big plate with a diameter of one meter. The bottom of the plate must be flat. At the same time, bring me nine cucumbers and three sugarcane. Thank you. As for the final amount, I will calculate it for you. "
Although the waiter saw that there seemed to be some conflict between Nian Bing and Xuejing, he was, after all, brought here by Long Ling and Luo Rou. He did not say anything and immediately went to prepare it.
Long Ling said in surprise, "Nian Bing, what do you want a plate for? And cucumbers. Are you going to ask Uncle Ming to cook for us in front of everyone? That's impossible. Uncle Ming's skills must not be leaked. "
Nian Bing sighed and said, "Why can't we share it with others? If others can learn it, it'll be a skill in itself. It's because we're so selfish. There are so many good things that haven't been passed down since ancient times. Ling 'er, don't be impatient. Just wait and see. "
After a while, Ming Yuan and Xuejing came out first. Xuejing walked to Nian Bing's side and said, "Uncle Ming has come out. Now you can tell me why you came to Cool Breeze Fasting to find Uncle Ming." As she spoke, her eyes revealed a look of ridicule. "It shouldn't be to ask Uncle Ming to be your master, right?"
Nian Bing smiled indifferently and said, "Why not? As the saying goes, the one who reaches the top is the teacher. Master Ming, I don't know if you still remember the chant I told you that day. "
When Ming Yuan came out and saw Nian Bing in magician's attire, he was a little stunned. When Nian Bing asked him, he saw that the youth in front of him wearing magician's attire was the woodcutter who saw him make the golden incense rings that day. He asked doubtfully, "You, how did you become a magician? Because something happened in the city that day, I didn't have time to take care of it. When I came to find you later, you had already left Cool Breeze Fasting. I was really curious. How did you know the secret to making the golden incense rings? It was passed down from generation to generation by my master. This secret is impossible for outsiders to know. So, although other places sell golden incense rings, they are not authentic. They are far inferior to our Cool Breeze Fasting's golden incense rings. "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "The chant was naturally passed down by my master. Master Ming, you will soon understand." At this time, the waiter who went to get the items returned. He held a large plate in his hand and walked to Nian Bing's side.
Nian Bing stretched out her right hand and steadily received the plate. She placed it on a square table next to her. The plate was one meter in diameter and took up almost the entire table. Nian Bing smiled and said, "Now, the answer can be revealed. Master Ming, in the culinary world, there is a saying that the fist never leaves the hand and the song never leaves the mouth. You must have your favorite knife on you. I want to borrow it."
Ming Yuan's expression changed and he said coldly, "No, for a chef, the knife is his life. This is no different from a martial artist."
Nian Bing still had a smile on her face. "Is that so? I think your master should have told you that there was a person who helped him when he was in danger and taught him three great skills. That was how he gained the reputation of being an immortal chef. "
Hearing this, Ming Yuan was shocked. "How did you know?" His voice had changed. It should be known that this matter was extremely confidential. His master had only told him.
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Because the person who helped your master was my master."
Ming Yuan's whole body trembled. "You, you are a ghost …"
Nian Bing stopped Ming Yuan from continuing. She stretched out her hand and said, "Can I borrow a knife? Master Ming. "
Ming Yuan's eyes showed a trace of respect. He looked at the cucumber and sugarcane on the plate and nodded. "Of course." He reached into his robes, and a sharp knife that was about two feet long appeared in his hand. Apart from Nian Bing, no one else present could tell where the knife had come from on Ming Yuan's body.
Nian Bing took the saber and looked at the faint green light flowing on the blade. He praised, "It's so good. This must be the Immortal Slash, the treasured saber of the Immortal Chef. It's said that this saber once sliced open an entire cow in an instant, and there wasn't a single drop of blood on it. It really is a good saber!"
Ming Yuan stood with his hands by his side and said, "I don't dare. In front of your master's true yang, this knife can only be regarded as a foil at most." Because Nian Bing had told him the secret, he did not have the slightest doubt about Nian Bing's identity. Because the incantation of the Golden Incense Ring was told by his master to that benefactor.
Nian Bing smiled. He glanced at the three women around him, who were in a daze, and said, "I'm going to start now. Although the weather is gradually turning cold, the heat is still there. Today, I'll serve a cooling dish for the three ladies. I hope you'll like it. Please step back a little. Thank you."
At this moment, even Xue Jing, who was the most straightforward of them all, could tell that Nian Bing was no ordinary person. She was extremely familiar with Ming Yuan. Back then, in order to invite Ming Yuan to be the head chef of the Clear Wind Fasting, who knew how much effort he had put into persuading him. Although Ming Yuan was only the head chef in name, he had a transcendent status in the Clear Wind Fasting. Even her father, Xue Ji, was extremely respectful when he saw him, always referring to him as a brother. This was the first time she had seen such a respectful expression on Ming Yuan's face, and the person who made this expression was the mysterious Nian Bing in front of her, the Nian Bing who made her feel so flustered.
Nian Bing moved. She picked up a few chopsticks from the table next to her and placed them neatly at the foot of the table. Then she took out the cucumber and sugarcane from the big plate one by one and placed them on the chopsticks. Her intention was obvious. She did not want the ingredients to be contaminated with dust. In the end, there was only one cucumber left in her hand.
Nian Bing slowly lifted the cucumber with his left hand. Although the nine cucumbers that the waiter had brought met Nian Bing's requirements in terms of weight, they all had different shapes. Nian Bing looked at the cucumbers. He seemed to have forgotten everything around him, and only the green cucumber was in his eyes. He held Ming Yuan's knife in his right hand and remained still.
Xuejing looked at Nian Bing standing there strangely and could not help but feel a little impatient. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan shook his head at Xuejing, indicating that she should not disturb Nian Bing. Then he focused on Nian Bing's hand, waiting for the scene that he had been waiting for to happen.
Finally, Nian Bing moved. To be more precise, it was his right hand that moved. His left hand was still holding onto the cucumber's tail like a rock, while the blade in his right hand glowed with a faint green light as he gently cut two inches below the cucumber's head. This was the first cut.
Xuejing almost laughed out loud. After watching for a long time, it turned out that it was just the first cut on the cucumber. She tried her best to cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud. However, she soon could not laugh, because Nian Bing turned his wrist slightly and cut again. This time, he cut below the first cut. A piece of cucumber as thin as paper appeared. The most peculiar thing was that this piece of cucumber was only slightly connected to the top and bottom. According to common sense, the weight of the cucumber's head should be enough to break it, but in fact, they were still connected.
Ming Yuan subconsciously exclaimed, "The Lotus Cut Silk Knife Technique. Good knife technique!" After saying this, he hurriedly covered his mouth, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. As a top chef, what could be more perfect than seeing the cooking skills in his imagination?
Nian Bing did not hear Ming Yuan's voice at all. His attention was completely focused on the cucumber. The knife moved again, but this time, it was not as slow as before. The knife was like snow, and his wrist seemed to be dancing in the air. Even with Ming Yuan's eyesight, he could not see clearly what Nian Bing was doing. The cucumber fell slowly, and each piece was slightly connected. With the weight of the cucumber's head, it slowly fell to the big plate. The cucumber's head was aimed at the center of the whole plate. The knife continued to flash. Everyone present was stunned.
Luo Rou seemed to see the scene of Nian Bing cutting the cake again, but it was obvious that the knife technique of cutting cucumber was much more difficult than cutting the cake. Each piece of cucumber was not only extremely thin, but also very uniform. Even the place where each piece was connected to the other was so uniform, without any flaw.
The cucumber's head finally fell to the center of the plate. The cucumber, which was less than a foot long, had now become about a foot and a half long. The knife in Nian Bing's hand was still flashing, and the cucumber was gradually elongated. At this moment, Nian Bing's left hand finally moved. His wrist shook slightly, and at the moment when the knife stopped, the cucumber slices cleverly formed a ring behind the cucumber's head. The knife continued to flash, and the cucumber slices gradually elongated. When the cucumber had formed three rings on one side of the plate, Nian Bing's knife finally reached the end of the cucumber. He didn't continue to cut, but placed the end of the cucumber on the edge of the plate.
In the eyes of the crowd, such knife technique could only be described as miraculous. The miracle continued. The second cucumber jumped into Nian Bing's hand. This time, it was still staring, but the time it took to stare was obviously shorter. When the knife light flashed again, the same thing happened to the first cucumber. The knife light repeated, but the crowd's eyes didn't leave the knife and cucumber in Nian Bing's hand. Although it was a repetitive action, in their eyes, the action was so vivid.
The cucumber continued to elongate, and it still coiled three times. This was the second cucumber, then the third, the fourth … Every cucumber went through the same process. The sharp-eyed Luo Rou was surprised to see that Nian Bing's cucumber was emitting a layer of faint white mist.
In the beginning, the others didn't notice this, but when the fifth cucumber was completed, the entire one-meter wide plate was covered in a faint white mist. The green cucumber was faintly discernible, and it looked extremely strange.
At some point, the master of the Cool Breeze Study, Xue Ji, had arrived behind his daughter. The others were in a daze, and no one noticed his arrival. When Xue Ji saw Nian Bing's knife light flashing rapidly, he immediately followed in the footsteps of the others. He had the strength of a Martial Fighter, and naturally, his eyesight was unique. Nian Bing's movements were extremely fast, as if she didn't even need to think. Looking at the gradually elongating cucumber, Xue Ji asked himself, "His control over his strength is definitely not as good as Nian Bing's. That exquisite knife technique has reached the peak of perfection, and it's amazing."
When all nine cucumbers were completed, the entire plate was almost filled. The nine cucumbers coiled on the plate were in the exact same position. The nine cucumbers' heads were slightly raised, and they were placed together in the center of the plate. Even the nine cucumbers' tails were strangely maintained in the same position.
The knife light flashed, and it flew towards Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan was startled, and he instinctively raised his hand to block. What he caught was the handle of the knife.
"Master Ming, thank you for the knife." Nian Bing's mind seemed to be completely immersed in the dishes in front of her. Her gaze fell on the jade-green cucumbers on the plate, and looked at the faint white icy mist rising into the air. She reached into her chest and took out a small cloth bag. It was the tool she used to make pigeon meat rice for Feng Nu in the watercraft ironware shop.
Without using her eyes to look, her index and middle fingers naturally reached into the cloth bag. When her fingers left the cloth bag, they brought out a cold light. It was a small knife, less than five inches long. The tip of the knife was very small, and the blade and the handle were the same length, each two and a half inches. The front half of the blade was actually emitting a faint blue light, and there seemed to be a ferocious carving on the side of the blade.
Ming Yuan took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "Ghostcarving Godly Knife."
Nian Bing continued, "The work of the gods, the blue flame, the carving of dragons and phoenixes, and the cold blade. It's the Ghostcarving. "
Ming Yuan glanced at Nian Bing, "When the Ghostcarving appears, who can compete?" Looking at the Ghostcarving, the respect in his eyes became more intense.
Nian Bing's gaze fell on the nine cucumbers in the middle of the plate, "Although the Ghostcarving is good, it depends on who is using it. I hope I didn't disgrace Master's reputation." His waist suddenly bent, as if it was broken. His thighs were pressed against the edge of the table, and his entire body was at a ninety-degree angle. His face was just above the center of the plate. His wrist trembled slightly, and in an instant, he waved the knife nine times, leaving a mark on each of the nine cucumbers.
Ming Yuan suddenly understood what Nian Bing was trying to do, and his eyes were filled with shock. Originally, he was somewhat unconvinced, but when he saw Nian Bing's first strike, he understood that in terms of knife skills, he was far from being a match for this young man in front of him.
Ming Yuan was not the only one present who knew what was good for him. Extreme Snow gasped, "Could this be the legendary Dragon Dance Gathering Technique? Heavens, does this really exist? "
Reality quickly answered Extreme Snow's question. Nian Bing waved the knife, and a faint blue light danced between his five fingers like a cold flame. As the knife moved, he softly chanted, "Where the Ghostcarving Hand falls, the Heavens and Earth will change, carving a hundred waves, divine work of art will last for eternity, and the waning moon will reflect the cold spring." Only to see that the blue light was constantly revolving in the center of the plate. Xue Ji could clearly see that every time he chanted a word, a mark would appear on the heads of the nine cucumbers. Green fragments would then float down. When the last word was uttered, including the first nine slashes, a total of two hundred and sixty-one slashes were completed in this short chanting time. A circle of green fragments was neatly scattered in the middle of the plate, forming a circular dark green pattern. The pattern was very clear, and there was not the slightest difference in the pattern. All the fragments were exactly the same size. The most shocking thing was the carvings on top of the fragments.
Nine jade-like carvings raised their heads, antlers, moustaches at the corners of their mouths, and pearls below their foreheads. Those were clearly nine jade-like dragon heads! The dragon heads were vivid and lifelike, with their heads held high, as if they were breathing out clouds.
Ghost Condor Concealment. Nian Bing looked at those nine dragon heads, and lightly sighed, "It's a pity, I haven't reached the peak of the Dragon Condor Dance."
Ming Yuan hurriedly asked, "Then what is the peak?"
Nian Bing smiled indifferently, "Nine Dragons Soaring in the Clouds, ever-changing." As he spoke, Nian Bing held the two ends of the plate with both hands, and with a slight force, the plate left the table. He was very careful, as if he was afraid of any deviation.
At this time, Xuejing and Long Ling were already in a daze. Only Luo Rou's eyes were still slightly lively, and there was already something in her eyes.
Nian Bing's body exuded a layer of faint blue light. The light followed his gaze and condensed on the table. Gradually, a circular ice cube that was about the size of a human hand appeared on the table. The surface of the ice cube was extremely smooth. It looked like a circular piece that was about an inch thick. This was the most basic ice spell, but when Nian Bing used it, the power of control and the effect was definitely more shocking than a fourth-level spell.
The plate was put down again, and landed on the ice block. The ice block was located at the center of the plate. With a light touch of the edge of the plate, the plate actually slowly rotated, and the Ghost Condor Dance reappeared. When the tail of each cucumber turned in front of Nian Bing, the blue light would flash five times. After three rounds, 135 cuts, his hand only seemed to tremble a few times. The jade-green chips were spread out on the ground, forming nine cloud-like shapes. Under them, nine lifelike emerald dragon tails appeared.
The moment the dragon tails appeared, the nine cucumbers on the plate seemed to come alive, like nine green dragons circling in the clouds. The plate was still rotating slowly, and the nine green dragons floated above the clouds. They seemed to be playing, and seemed to be greeting each other. The power of the nine heads gathering was so real.
Nian Bing did not stop. He picked up one of the three sugarcane sections, and the Ghost Condor Dance flashed, and the sugarcane skin fell naturally. This time, it did not land on the plate, but on the side. The Ghost Condor Dance, and the milky white sugarcane changed under the knife. When the plate stopped rotating, the Ghost Condor Dance in Nian Bing's hand also stopped. What appeared in his hand was a strange shape. The bottom was a base, and the top was connected to a straight white pole that was only as thick as a chopstick. At the top was a milky white ball. The surface of the ball was very bright, and looked as breathtaking as white jade. Knowledgeable people like Ming Yuan and Xue Ji knew that the ball looked simple, but it was very difficult to make it so perfectly round and flawless. However, Nian Bing had surprised them enough. At this time, their hearts were a little numb.
Nian Bing reached into the plate, and carefully placed the carved sugarcane in the center of the nine dragon heads, like nine dragons holding a pearl.
Perfect. Other than perfect, no one could think of any other word to describe what was in front of them.
The plate rotated again, and Nian Bing picked up the other two sugarcane sections at the same time. A light blue light gathered in his hand. This time, he did not peel the sugarcane. Instead, he placed the two sugarcane sections against each other and quickly rubbed them.
What could the sugarcane produce? It was nothing more than juice. However, the sugarcane under the extreme cold was different. The milky white ice powder floated down, and with a sweet smell, it scattered on the plate. Under the effect of the ice powder, the originally weakened ice fog on the plate rose again. The sugarcane was not finished, and was thrown to one side by Nian Bing. The ice powder formed by the sugarcane had already spread to every corner of the plate.
The nine lifelike Azure Dragons held the pearl together with the momentum of riding the clouds. The green on the plate was not monotonous. Because of the different shades, it brought a sense of vitality. Together with the ice fog and sugarcane pearls, everything was so perfect.
Nian Bing clapped his hands, smiled lightly, and said, "The fragrance of the cucumber, together with the sweetness of the sugarcane, complemented by the air of frost, it is the most suitable to use to relieve the heat and cold."
Ming Yuan's eyes shone brightly, "Can you tell me the name of this dish?"
Nian Bing smiled lightly, and said word by word, "Nine — Green — Divine — Dragon — Ice — Cloud — Hidden —."
