"I'll give you ten days to memorize the "Illustrated Manual of All Things Ingredients" and "Spiritual Fire Collection" by heart. After ten days, if you can't even figure out the properties of some ingredients and spiritual fires, I don't mind accepting this apprenticeship. !”
Old Man Ma was unwilling to give in and made another request.
Chen Xi didn't care, and said in deep thought: "Ten days is not a problem. I want to know how many yuan stones I can get every day after becoming your disciple?"
Old Man Ma's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, his chest heaved violently, and he roared loudly: "You worship me as your teacher just to earn Yuan Stones? Can my cooking skills be measured by Yuan Stones?" You, you, you... get out of here!"
Seeing that Old Man Ma was on the verge of going berserk, Bai Wanqing quickly pulled Chen Xi and ran away.
"He has personality, but unfortunately he is still not as full of personality as I used to be." Qiao Nan touched his chin and commented solemnly.
"Oh, little brother Chen Xi is different. Only a man like this is worthy of my care." Pei Bi murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes sparkling like a nymphomaniac again.
"Work for me!"
Old Man Ma's sharp roar filled with endless rage was mixed with the sound of banging iron spoons hitting pots.
After walking out of Qingxi Restaurant, Bai Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of old man Ma's deflated appearance.
Chen Xi also felt it was a bit funny and said, "Old Man Ma's temper is indeed weird."
Bai Wanqing changed the subject and said, "You don't have to worry about not earning Yuan Stone. In ten days, as long as you officially become Old Man Ma's apprentice, Qingxi Restaurant will sign an agreement with you at a suitable price."
Chen Xi nodded, he also thought so. As the head chef of Qingxi Restaurant, Old Man Ma was treated very well. As Old Man Ma's apprentice, Qingxi Restaurant was eager to offer Yuan Stone to him.
Bai Wanqing seemed to remember something, and a strange look appeared on her delicate jade face: "If you can worship Old Man Ma as your teacher, maybe you can meet the master behind Qingxi Restaurant in ten days... He is a man with extraordinary skills."
Chen Xi was startled, and thought that this was indeed the case. Qingxi Restaurant was known as the number one restaurant in Songyan City, and its owner's abilities were naturally extraordinary.
Just by looking at Chen Xi's appearance, Bai Wanqing knew that he didn't understand the meaning of her words, so she didn't explain much and said with a smile, "Are you going to Zhang's Grocery Store today?"
Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I couldn't make a talisman today. I'm afraid Uncle Zhang will scold me if I go to the grocery store."
Speaking of this, he thought of what happened today. His younger brother successfully entered Songyan Academy, and he was recognized by the spiritual chef Old Man Ma, and he felt even more grateful to Bai Wanqing.
He didn't know why Bai Wanqing spared no effort to help him, but he knew that this kindness was so important that he could repay it in his lifetime!
"Aunt Bai, thank you very much."
Chen Xi looked solemn, looked into Bai Wanqing's eyes very seriously, and spoke word by word.
Bai Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react. Her heart was also filled with emotions. She suddenly stretched out her slender hand and pinched Chen Xi's cheek, and said with a smile: "Smile more in the future. Don't be scolded for having a sullen face. The nickname "Facial Paralysis Chen" is too unpleasant."
Chen Xi was confused by Bai Wanqing's unexpected action. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and a rare blush appeared on his pale and handsome cheeks.
"Ha, I'm blushing."
Bai Wanqing blinked, with a narrow smile on her face.
Chen Xi couldn't bear it anymore and ignored Bai Wanqing anymore. He just kept his head down and walked quickly, but he really enjoyed this warm feeling in his heart.
Li family, in the hall.
"Evil son! Trash!"
With a bang, the wine glass in Li Yizhen's hand turned into a pile of powder. His resolute and powerful cheeks were as dark as water, and his eyes almost burst into flames. He shouted violently: "You hurt people in the street and provoked the authority of the general's government. It's all your fault." Good thing!"
"Dad, the child was beaten. How could the general's office be so indiscriminate?" Li Ming gritted his teeth and tried to absolve himself of the blame.
Li Yizhen's face became more and more gloomy, and he stared at his youngest son coldly, "You are not as skilled as others, you are so loud and domineering, and you are so shameful and humiliated as to be beaten, but you use it as an excuse to absolve yourself of guilt. If you were not my son, I would have killed you with my own hands." Got it!"
Li Ming's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and he didn't dare to say another word.
"Steward Wu, since you have taken action, why don't you kill that Chen Hao? Do you know how passive I am because of your incompetence in doing things?" Li Yizhen snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Steward Wu, and asked in a deep voice.
Butler Wu was sweating profusely, his heart was pounding, and he was silent.
He knew that the head of the family had paid a heavy price for an advanced magic weapon in order to quell the anger of the General's Mansion. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to defend himself at all. He just said in a low voice: "I was absolutely sure to kill Chen Chen." Hao, but he was attacked by Chen Xi on the way. He was caught off guard and escaped by these two brothers. Please punish me, Master!"
Li Yizhen's anger softened slightly: "Chen Xi? Has he reached the state of innate perfection?"
Butler Wu became more and more ashamed: "No, this guy is good at making talismans and is very scheming. He first used the invisibility talisman and the Qi Condensation Talisman to hide on one side, and then used the ice cone talisman to sneak attack. The timing selected hit the old slave's vital point, so... "
Li Yizhen was startled, and then said thoughtfully: "I promised to the southern border that when the two brothers reach the state of innate perfection, they will abolish their cultivation, so that they will not be able to achieve immortality, and they will be miserable and unable to live. He was tortured to death. Because of this, I never put them in my eyes, but now it seems that I should pay more attention to them."
Butler Wu solemnly said: "I don't know what the master's plan is, but I'm willing to help him without any hesitation!"
Li Yizhen shook his head and sighed: "I just got the information that Chen Hao has entered Songyan Academy to practice. Songyan Academy is strong and on par with my Li family, so it is not possible to attack him yet, but it gives this kid an advantage. "
Butler Wu seemed to have remembered something and his eyes lit up: "Master, in the Southern Barbarian Evil Trial in half a year, all the schools in Songyan City will participate. Chen Hao has already reached the innate realm, so he will definitely participate. Furthermore, the Southern Barbarian Evil Trial will be held in six months. The domain is located in the Nanman Mountains, and the General's Mansion cannot interfere. At that time, we only need to send some people to bury it in it, and we will definitely kill this kid!"
Li Yizhen muttered: "This is a good plan, but you can't kill that kid, but destroy his cultivation."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Butler Wu's eyes, and he sneered: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take this son down when the time comes!"
"Great, I'll go too when the time comes!" Li Ming shouted excitedly, his eyes filled with hatred. He obviously hated Chen Hao to the core.
Li Yizhen said coldly: "It is not a bad thing to want revenge. From today on, you will not go to Tianxing Academy. You will practice in seclusion in your ancestral home. When will you reach the state of innate perfection, when will you come out again!"
Retreat in the ancestral home
Li Ming's legs trembled suddenly and his face turned pale.
"Tie Shou, take the young master down and leave his cultivation to you." Li Yizhen ordered calmly.
"As commanded."
Behind Li Yizhen, a shadow suddenly appeared, and a tall, thin man in black appeared quietly.
He looked ordinary and had no distinguishing features, but when Li Ming saw him, he felt as if he was seeing a devil. His lips trembled and he said, "Dad, can you..."
The sound stopped suddenly.
Like a ghost, Iron Hand suddenly appeared beside Li Ming, waved his hand to knock Li Ming unconscious, then picked up Li Ming like a chicken and left the hall straight away.
A trace of intolerance flashed in Li Yizhen's eyes, which was replaced by a firm look, and he murmured: "Nothing can be made without polishing it. If you can't even reach the innate perfection state, what qualifications do you have to compete with your brother for the position of head of the family? The Li family, No need for waste!”
Butler Wu was shocked by the scene in front of him, Iron Hand? That powerful person in the Purple Mansion Realm who hides in the dark and always presents himself as a shadow? The number one butcher of the Li family with hands stained with thick blood
Being watched by such a pervert while practicing, the young master's next days can only be described as horrific, right
For no reason, Butler Wu felt a pity in his heart.
"Steward Wu, there is one more thing I have to leave to you." Li Yizhen frowned and thought for a moment before making a decision.
"Please give me the master's orders!" Butler Wu woke up with a start, took a deep breath and said loudly.
"It is not appropriate to provoke the General's Mansion at this time, but we cannot let go of Chen Xi so easily. I want you to destroy his entire body in one month!"
After bidding farewell to Bai Wanqing, Chen Xi went straight home. After a quick meal, he began to meditate on "The Technique of Zhou Tianxing Killing to Strengthen the Body".
Too many things happened these days, which gave him a strong sense of urgency, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
What is particularly important is that whether it is refining Qi, refining the body, visualizing the mark of the true body, or making money by making talismans, it will take up a lot of his time. Now that there is another cooking skill, time becomes even more important. To be compact, he must not allow himself to waste any time.
Chen Xi didn't know how other people treated time, but he knew that if he wanted to become stronger, if he wanted to avenge his grandfather and the Chen family, if he wanted to meet his mother, he couldn't relax his demands on himself.
On the contrary, in order to achieve these goals, he must demand more stringently on himself. No matter how hard he works, no matter how much he sweats, he will never give himself a reason to indulge!
If you don’t persevere firmly and work a thousand times harder, how can you see hope
With this in mind, Chen Xi made a practice plan for himself. In the morning, he would make talismans, then practice cooking, and in the evening, he would practice "The Art of Forging the Body with Zhou Tian Xing Slaughter", "Purple Sky Technique", and the True Visualization. Body brand.
As for how much time he can have left to sleep, he doesn't consider it.
Of course, if Chen Xi could reach the realm of Zifu and become a monk of Zifu, it wouldn't matter if he slept or not.
"Most of the people who practice body training in the world use the power of solid stones, Geng metal, thunder, water and fire to temper their bodies, but they have never heard of inducing the evil energy of the stars to temper their bodies. This "The Art of Zhou Tian Xing Slaughter Body Tempering" can open up a new way. , indeed amazing!”
As if a mysterious skylight had been opened, Chen Xi's eyes were extremely bright, and with deep curiosity, he carefully tasted the lines of beautiful words imprinted in his mind.
