"Senior Zi Xiu, we can serve the pot together." As he spoke, he raised both his hands that were infused with the Purple Flame Technique and swept them towards the prepared winter melon cup. The scorching air swept across the winter melon cup and the layer of frost on the winter melon cup melted like snow. The winter melon powder floated into a neat circle under the winter melon cup and the winter melon cup regained its original emerald green color. Under the effect of the scorching Purple Flame Technique, the entire winter melon cup was so green that it seemed like water was about to drip out. It really looked like a moving piece of jade. At this moment, everyone's eyes widened because they all discovered that they had made a mistake.
How could there be a mistake when the Ghostcarving Godly Blade was out? If there really was a mistake, then it wouldn't be the Ghostcarving Godly Blade. The surface of the winter melon cup wasn't an ordinary carving, but a relief carving. The entire winter melon cup was thinner by half an inch. On the surface, there were nine Azure Dragons. Each of them was so lifelike that even their scales could be clearly seen. What surprised Camel Chef Zi Xiu was that these nine Azure Dragons seemed to be alive. Each of them had a different form. Some spread their wings to attack, some stretched out their claws to grab something, some flapped their wings to fly, some raised their heads to roar, and some rode the clouds. The nine Azure Dragons intertwined without a trace of flaw or disorder. The three protruding spots on the top of the winter melon cup were clearly three dragon heads. Even the dragon whiskers were clearly there. They were formed from the winter melon carved from other places. After the baptism of ice and fire, they had completely fused into one. For a moment, the entire kitchen was silent. Even Nian Bing's eyes revealed an intoxicated look.
It was time to serve the pot. Before Nian Bing took the pot out, he added some salt to the pot. Only then did he pour the white and green congee liquid into the winter melon cup. His movements were very careful, for fear of damaging any part of the winter melon cup. The white rice that was like tiny pearls was still in the process of melting. The green bamboo shoots were like jade, and the tofu that was as smooth as white jade. He had made a congee dish.
Zi Xiu and Nian Bing took the pot out at the same time. His congee was golden red and had a rich aroma as it was poured into a large bowl. Red, gold, and white colors intertwined. Although it wasn't as gorgeous as Nian Bing's, it wasn't as beautiful as Nian Bing's. But no one would doubt its deliciousness. The two of them each took their own works to the five people who were watching the competition. Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing blankly. "Can this thing be eaten?"
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment before she laughed, "Are you doubting my skills? Don't worry, there's no poison. "
Feng Nu shook her head and said, "No, I can't bear to eat it. What's the name of this dish?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Don't worry and eat. If you like it, I'll make more for you in the future. The name of this dish is: Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron of Ice and Fire Nine Heavens. "
Zi Xiu said grumpily, "The Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron? It's obviously the Pearl Jade White Jade Porridge that Old Devil Zha Ji is good at. "
Nian Bing didn't get angry at all. She smiled and said, "That's indeed the case. It's just that there are some changes. Senior's bowl should be the Pink Golden Jade Noodles that my master highly admires."
Zi Xiu snorted and said, "Come, let's all have a taste. I haven't cooked for a long time. I wonder if I've regressed. "
Everyone started to eat at the same time. Zi Xiu's expression immediately darkened. Because everyone's target was Nian Bing's Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron, but no one touched his Pink Golden Jade Noodles. But the honest and straightforward Zi Qingjian was a kind person. Seeing that no one touched his uncle's noodles, he retracted the spoon that was reaching for the Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron and turned to eat the noodles.
Nian Bing walked to Zi Xiu's side and said with a smile, "Senior, if you don't mind, let's judge each other. Although the noodles are simple, what you make is definitely different." His flattery made Zi Xiu's expression look better. He nodded and started to eat each other's dishes.
No one said anything, not even cheering, because everyone was immersed in eating.
Very quickly, Nian Bing's Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron was only left with the cauldron. Even she didn't have time to take a bite. What surprised everyone was that the one who ate the most was actually the principal of Lan Meng Academy, Purple Dream. He fully displayed his strength as a Swordsman, and his spoon was as fast as lightning. He wasn't stingy at all as he stuffed the delicacies into his mouth.
"Purple Dream, are you bullying others just because you're fast? This is what my disciple made for me." The others didn't dare to criticize, but Dark Night wasn't polite. Among the people who were fighting over the Pearl Jadeite White Jade Congee, only he didn't know martial arts. Magic was completely useless at this time, and he became the one who ate the least.
After eating a small bowl of Zi Xiu's Pink Golden Jade Noodles, Nian Bing turned around and faced Zi Xiu. "Senior, the noodles that you made were complete in terms of color, aroma, taste, meaning, and form. Especially the way you used the Heavy Eagle Claw technique, I was defeated. No matter what, I can't make such delicious noodles. Without the method of breaking water to protect the surface, such fine noodles actually didn't stick together at all. And because the noodles themselves are extremely tough, during the extremely fine process, the heat was just right. Every strand completely blended into the rich fragrance of the duck soup and foie gras. It's indeed a top-grade delicacy! "
Zi Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "Nian Bing, who do you think won this competition?"
Nian Bing hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, to be precise, I won. Your work and my Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron both have their own characteristics in terms of fragrance. However, your duck and foie gras soup is expensive because of its innovation. The raw materials are much cheaper than mine, but it can produce a fragrance that's on par with mine. Therefore, in terms of fragrance, you win. And in terms of the taste of the noodles, through your Heavy Eagle Hands, it's also slightly better than my Pearl Jadeite White Jade Congee. However, the degree of deliciousness of the two is extremely close. In these two aspects, you win. Am I right? "
Zi Xiu smiled and said, "Kid, in terms of cooking, you indeed have outstanding talent. Not bad, what you said is very pertinent, but it's also a bit modest. I've tasted your congee. If it's an ordinary Pearl Jadeite White Jade Congee, I'm really confident that it's better than yours in terms of taste. However, yours is completely different. As expected of the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. Through a special method of heating and freezing the materials, the taste of these materials is completely different. I can distinguish eighty-one changes among them. This is also your Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire. With magic in the kitchen, it can indeed make the taste of the delicacies ever-changing. No wonder you're so confident. If you lose, you lose. You don't have to cover up anything for me. "
Nian Bing looked at Zi Xiu who admitted defeat calmly, and the admiration in her heart increased. She said respectfully, "Junior's cooking skills are still lacking. If I didn't use magic to take advantage of it, it would be impossible for me to compare to senior. This time, it was just a fluke. "
Zi Xiu shook his head and said, "How can there be so much luck? Although magic in the kitchen can produce unique effects. But without a long period of practice and comprehension, how can you combine magic and cooking so well? However, there are still some flaws in it. The process of connecting them is not delicate enough. Also. You're still a little rough in handling the materials. You have to pay more attention in the future. Your appearance will definitely cause a great change in the cooking world in the future. As for what will become of it, I don't know. Nian Bing, although your Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire is very magical, this is not what surprised me the most. After all, magic in the kitchen itself has its own advantages. Do you know? In fact, when you completely displayed the Dance of the Rain Dragon, I knew that I had lost. Even if I can win against you in terms of fragrance and taste, but in terms of color, shape, and meaning. I can't compare to your Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron. It's just that I didn't expect it. Your Dance of the Rain Dragon has already surpassed your master. "
Nian Bing laughed bitterly: "Senior, you praise me too much. Perhaps you don't believe me, but if I were to do it again, I would definitely not be able to do the same thing. Just now, in the process of carving. I completely integrated into a strange domain. Even I don't know how many times I slashed, but the moment I finished, I clearly felt that I had succeeded. "
Zi Xiu smiled and said, "Feeling is very important. Don't belittle yourself. You have already entered the realm of cooking with enlightenment. Perhaps, your knife skills are not as exquisite as your master's, but in terms of understanding of the Dance of the Rain Dragon, your master can't compare to you. To have such achievements at such a young age, you will definitely be the continent's number one chef in the future. " Picking up the last piece of tofu from the bowl, he put it in his mouth and chewed with satisfaction. He said somewhat vaguely: "This tofu is really good. Tofu is originally not easy to taste, but after being frozen by you, although there is no change on the surface, many holes have appeared on the inside, which can fully absorb the freshness of the broth. Moreover, under extreme heat, there is no situation of it breaking, but it is even more chewy. It is indeed delicious. Nian Bing, that little bit of salt you added at the end played the role of painting the dragon, making the feeling of ice and fire become more intense. This point must be carried forward. Remember, salt is the king of all flavors. Any flavor with salt added will become different. "
Nian Bing nodded sincerely and said: "Thank you, senior. Senior, are you … "
Zi Xiu naturally knew what Nian Bing wanted to ask. Using his dou qi to force his voice into a line, he said something to him. After a while, Nian Bing's eyes revealed a look of shock, "This, how is this possible, that person's identity …"
Zi Xiu made a Nianbing gesture to keep quiet and said with a smile: "Didn't you say in class that nothing is impossible? Now you understand why your master did not let you take revenge for him. The other person's identity is so troublesome, he does not want anything to happen to his precious disciple. Moreover, your master probably did not forget his feelings for that person until the day he died. "
Nian Bing was somewhat at a loss. If it was said that her master had not forgotten his feelings for that woman, then was it right for her to take revenge for him? She shook her head. Forget it, whether or not it was to take revenge for her master, she still had to see that woman. Perhaps, from her attitude, she could make a lot of decisions. Thinking of this, she said to Camel Chef Zi Xiu: "Senior, thank you for telling me this. If you don't mind, I would like to eat some more Pink Golden Jade Noodles. "
Zi Xiu smiled mischievously and said: "This, I'm afraid it won't be your turn. Turn around and take a look."
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment. When she turned around, she saw that the eyes of the people who had surrounded her Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron had all fallen on the Pink Golden Jade Noodles in front of her. Their eyes were filled with desire for food, and Nian Bing felt a chill. She hurriedly took a step back and made a gesture of invitation.
This time, the one who moved the fastest was Feng Nu. With a wave of her chopsticks, a bowl of noodles was ready. Nian Bing suddenly discovered that in front of delicious food, the word 'virtuous' had no meaning at all. Not to mention Feng Nu, even the always cold and aloof Zi Qingmeng acted as if she was facing a great enemy, quickly snatching up the delicious noodles.
Zi Xiu walked around the crowd and came before Nian Bing's Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron, which only had a winter melon left. He moved closer to take a closer look and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Everything was so exquisite and vivid. The nine green dragons were flawless and looked so delicious. It was a pity that there wasn't even a speck of the pearl and jade congee left in the cauldron. Even the inner walls of the winter melon had been scratched a little. He sighed softly and couldn't help but say, "If only this was really made of jade. It could definitely become a rare treasure! It is worthy of being the continent's number one knife skill. Even if my Jade Screen Dual Congeal is more exquisite, it is impossible to display the strength of the Dragon Dance. Nian Bing, you have really finished your apprenticeship. The Supreme Nine Dragons Cauldron of Ice and Fire Nine Heavens, what a good name! "
Nian Bing glanced at Zi Xiu and said, "Senior, the reason I was so anxious to compete with you this time is because I am afraid I will have to leave this place soon. A friend of mine has asked me to do something and I must do it quickly." As she said this, she walked over to the chopping board and put her three kitchen knives back into her Space Ring.
A trace of disappointment appeared in Zi Xiu's eyes, "You're leaving already? I asked you to be the knife skill teacher of the Cooking Department, but you still haven't fulfilled your duties as a teacher. "
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "Senior, I like the environment here very much. I especially like to compare notes with you and Teacher Hei Ye. If I fulfill my wish in the future, I will definitely return."
Zi Xiu's eyes flashed and he firmly patted Nian Bing's shoulder with his large hand, "As an excellent chef, all kinds of experiences are essential. Go. I will not stop you from moving forward. The world of cooking that you enter is your world. However, you must remember, no matter what level your culinary skills have reached, you must not have the slightest bit of arrogance. Otherwise, you will definitely encounter setbacks, just like your master. It was because of a moment of carelessness that he looked down on his opponent and only casually cooked a few dishes. Otherwise, even if the opponent had the assistance of magic, how could his culinary skills compare to the Ghost Chef? "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "Thank you. I will definitely remember your words."
Zi Xiu asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
Nian Bing thought for a moment and said, "Today. Today Feng Nu came to the school to challenge me. I have already revealed my dual-elemental magic. If I stay any longer, I will inevitably encounter some unnecessary trouble."
Chef Luo and Zi Xiu nodded and said, "Alright then. You will leave sooner or later. There is no way to make you stay. I will wait for you. I hope that when the time comes, you can take over my position. Then I can live a carefree and happy life for a few years."
Nian Bing chuckled and said in a low voice, "Aren't you carefree and happy enough now?"
Zi Xiu's eyes flashed with a lustful light. He glanced at Feng Nu, who was constantly stuffing the pink and jade-like noodles into her mouth. Nianbing said, "Kid, when you need to make a move, you should make a move. I have seen countless women in my life, but I have never met such a high quality. She seems to have a good impression of you. Find a chance to get her into bed. Women, after all, will have a very deep impression of their first man. As long as your skills are good enough, you will not be afraid that she will leave you. Looking at your appearance, you must still be a little virgin. The taste of a beautiful woman is definitely the best in the world.
No matter how good the food is, it will be delicious. "Nian Bing only fully understood Zi Xiu's words a few years later. However, at that time, he was already the head of a generation in the culinary world. After that, he researched a third emotion.
"I'm so full! This trip was not in vain. Nian Bing, the food you cook is so delicious. I almost can't bear to leave you. "Feng Nu put down the bowl in satisfaction and looked at Nian Bing. Her eyes were full of smiles.
Perhaps due to Zi Xiu's influence, Nian Bing took two steps forward and stood in front of Feng Nu. She said in a low voice, "I won. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise and let me kiss you?"
Feng Nu giggled and said, "Did I promise you anything? I only said that if you won, I would consider it. Besides, I have already kissed you before. Consider it as an advance payment. "
Nian Bing said unhappily, "How can that be considered an advance payment? Anyway, you owe me once. Alright, let's not talk about this first. When do you plan to leave? Where are you going? "
Feng Nu looked at the people around her and said, "Let's go now. I have already achieved my goal and eaten so much good food. It's time to leave. If fate wills it, we will meet again. "
Nian Bing looked at Feng Nu dejectedly and said, "I'm leaving too. I'm going to Auland City. It would be nice if we were going the same way."
Feng Nu looked at him in surprise and said, "You're not going to continue learning here?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, I've already learned a lot in the three months I've been here. It's time to leave."
Feng Nu smiled, a playful look in her beautiful eyes. "Are you really going to Auland City for something?"
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and said in surprise, "Are you going there too?"
Feng Nu smiled and said, "Yes! If it wasn't for the fact that I've never revealed my whereabouts to anyone, I would definitely think that you're going with me on purpose. "At this point, she suddenly realized that she had misspoken and her face turned red.
Nian Bing laughed and said, "You're so beautiful. Even if it's for you, it's nothing! Let's go then. I don't have anything to pack. "Saying that, he walked in front of Purple Dream and said," Principal, I think I'll be leaving. "
Purple Dream smiled and looked at Nian Bing and then at Feng Nu. "Thank you for the delicious food you brought us today. It's a pity that I don't know when I'll be able to eat it again."
"No, you're not allowed to leave." The one who spoke was Yingye. He had just wiped the soup off his mouth.
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment and said, "Teacher, I really have something to do and have to leave."
Yingye looked at him coldly and stretched out his right hand. "You've been here for a few months and you haven't paid your tuition fees yet. Pay your tuition fees before you leave. "As soon as he said that, even he couldn't help but laugh.
Nian Bing thought for a moment and stretched out his right hand. With a flash of light, a small box appeared in his hand. He handed it to Yingye and said with a smile, "Teacher, thank you for your guidance these days. This will be my tuition fees. Please accept it."
Yingye saw that the box was made of lead and his eyes were filled with doubt. He looked at Nian Bing and took the box. "What is it?"
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Naturally, it's something worthy of your status. You'll know when you open it."
Yingye looked at Nian Bing and slowly opened the box. In an instant, the kitchen that had returned to normal due to the disappearance of the three treasured swords was completely enveloped by a golden light. The peaceful aura and the feeling of holiness filled everyone's body. Everyone's eyes were focused on the box in Yingye's hand.
Yingye looked at the golden gem in the box in shock. As a sorcerer, how could he not recognize it? "Heavens! How many good things do you have on you? This is the first time I've seen such a pure Holy Light Stone and such a big one. Where did you get it from?! "
Nian Bing said, "I won it in a bet. Teacher, although you don't cultivate light magic, with it by your side, you'll be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. "
Hee Ye looked at the gentle golden light, and a look of intoxication appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath, closed the box, and stuffed it back into Nian Bing's hands. "No, this is too precious for me. Compared to me, you need it more. My magic has already been finalized. No matter how bad it is, I won't be able to reach the realm of Archmage. But you're different. This kind of stabilizing thing is extremely useful for you. You should wear it on your body often when you cultivate. With the effects of your jade, you won't have to worry about ice and fire being disobedient. "
"Father, big brother and I are also going to Auland City." Zi Qingmeng's voice suddenly sounded at this time. Her expression had become very calm. Her purple eyes were like water, without the slightest trace of emotion.
Zi Xiu said, "Little Meng, what are you doing? You've seen Nian Bing's cooking skills today. It's not time for you to graduate yet. "
Zi Qingmeng shook her head and said, "No, Second Uncle, I'm not going to improve my cooking skills. Big brother and I are going to join the army. This semester's classes will end in two days. Big brother and I have long since planned to do this. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of everyone. Our Ottoman Empire has been bullied by Hua Rong and Qilu. Big brother and I are going to do our part for the country. "
Zi Xiu frowned and said, "You two are the only descendants of our Zi family. If you both join the army and something happens, who will take care of us? No, I don't agree. It's too dangerous. "
"Forget it. Let them go. Young people should see more and experience more. The outside world will give them more experience and training. " Zi Meng's attitude was the complete opposite of Zi Xiu's. Her eyes were filled with kindness. "You can go, but I don't want you to use your status as Lan Meng Academy to make a fuss. Since you're going to join the army, you have to start from the bottom. Only by understanding the soldiers at every level will you be of more help in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zi Qingjian said loudly, "Dad, don't worry. Little sister and I will definitely not lose face for Lan Meng Academy. Brother Nian Bing, let's go together. Wait for us for a while. We'll prepare some things and be back soon. "
Since Zi Qingjian had said so, Nian Bing couldn't refuse. However, he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. It wasn't easy to get a chance to be alone with Feng Nu, but he was defeated just like that. He really couldn't accept it.
Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "It looks like our journey will be very lively."
The weather had already turned cold. Although the coldest month of the month had passed, the cold wind was still bone-chilling. The bare tree trunks on both sides of the road looked even more bleak. The biting cold northern wind blew, causing everyone's clothes to flutter. The sky today was a little gloomy. Although it wasn't snowing, it didn't feel good at all. This kind of gloomy weather easily made people feel depressed.
Two hours ago, Nian Bing, Feng Nu, and Zi Qingjian bid farewell to Zi Meng, Zi Xiu, and Heiye. They left the city of the academy, Lan Meng, and stepped on the road to Ao Lan City. They had already walked for two hours, but the four of them didn't speak. Although Nian Bing's physical strength was a little weak, Feng Nu and the other two didn't rely on martial arts techniques to travel quickly. Thus, although they were a little tired, they could still hold on.
In the gloomy weather and the oppressive atmosphere, the first one to lose it wasn't the straightforward Zi Qingjian. Ever since they left the academy, Zi Qingjian would occasionally sneak a glance at Feng Nu. He walked with a lot on his mind. It wasn't clear whether it was because he was a little disappointed to leave his home, or because of some other reason.
"Feng Nu, I have something to ask you." The first to speak was still Nian Bing. Outside of the academy, he had been thinking about how to face the Zi Qingjian siblings. It would be best if he could find a way to avoid traveling with them. He still had a good impression of Zi Qingjian, but that unpredictable temperament of Zi Qingmeng made him very sensitive. Nian Bing didn't have a good impression of a girl with a bad temper.
Feng Nu walked forward as she said, "I knew you would ask. Your guess is correct. I lied to you when we first met, but Senior Hua Tian can indeed be considered my master. I didn't lie about the cause of his death. As for the rest, can you not ask? When the time comes, I will naturally tell you. "
Nian Bing looked at Feng Nu's calm expression and sighed inwardly. He knew that it was useless for him to ask. Feng Nu was about the same age as him, but had strength close to Swordsman's. Just this point alone was not simple. Especially when Feng Nu had said that she had the Nine Separations Body. What did that mean?
Feng Nu seemed to feel Nian Bing's dissatisfaction. She turned her head to look at him and smiled. "Don't you also have secrets in your heart? We can be considered the same, right? "
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "If I use my secret to exchange for your secret, I wonder if you'll agree to it?"
Feng Nu laughed. "Come on, I don't believe you'll be willing to tell me your secret. You look honest on the surface, but you're more cunning than anyone else. Who knows if you're just making up a story to trick me."
Nian Bing pretended to be wronged. "I'm innocent! Am I that kind of person? "
Feng Nu snorted. "Aren't you? Not to mention anything else, just the Ice Goddess' Stone and the Flame God's Stone on your body, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it clearly. "
Nian Bing was speechless. Indeed, these two gems were given to him by his parents. They represented a story, and it was a story that was closely related to him. "Okay, I won't ask you anymore. However, your Nine Separations Dou Qi has completely surpassed Senior Hua Tian. It really makes me feel strange."
Feng Nu glanced at Nian Bing. "Simply speaking, Hua Tian's Nine Separations Dou Qi should have been learned from my elder. The reason why he taught me the forging technique and sacrificed himself to forge the sword was to return a favor. That's all I can say. I don't want you to misunderstand anything. "
Nian Bing's heart moved. Connecting the previous events, his thoughts became clearer. He smiled and said, "Feng Nu, Brother Qingjian, let's go to the front and rest for a while."
