Qingxi Restaurant, second floor of the back kitchen.

When Chen Xi and Bai Wanqing walked in, Old Man Ma, Qiao Nan, and Pei Bi were all there. Seeing Bai Wanqing, Qiao Nan curled her lips, smiled and blew a loud whistle, "Beauty Bai, ten days without seeing each other is like ten years. I am very concerned about you, how are you doing lately?"

Pei Bi held her charming face in her hands, looked at Chen Xi infatuatedly, and murmured: "Well, Chen Xi seems to have become handsome again, he looks so masculine."

Old Man Ma banged the iron spoon in his hand, the sound was like thunder, jumped to his feet and roared: "As my junior brothers and sisters, you are so shameless, shut the hell up!"

Qiao Nan and Pei Bi both curled their lips in frustration.

Chen Xi had already seen such a scene, so he was not surprised at all, but he was a little unable to handle Pei Bi, a charming and charming woman. He thought to himself: "When old man Ma becomes my master, you will also become my little junior aunt. Can’t you be more reserved and reserved when you speak?”

"In ten days, you must have mastered the "Illustrated Manual of All Things Ingredient" and "Spiritual Fire Collection". I will ask a question. If you can answer it, I will accept you as my disciple. If you can't, then you still Let's leave quickly, so as not to waste each other's time." Old Man Ma looked solemn and began to test what Chen Xi had learned in the past ten days.

Chen Xi nodded, his expression calm.

In the past ten days, by visualizing the statue of Fuxi, his spiritual consciousness became several times stronger than before. Because of this, he was able to read the vast number of things in the "Illustrated Manual of All Things Ingredients" and "Spiritual Fire Collection" in a short period of time. Keep knowledge in mind.

Chen Xi believed that as long as the title came from these two books, he would not make any mistakes!

The topic given by Old Man Ma only has four words - Langdie Hongqiao. This is the name of a dish that non-Wuye Ling chefs cannot cook because the ingredients and spiritual fire used have extremely picky requirements and are extremely difficult. This dish Dishes are also specially prepared for monks in the Liangyi Golden Core Realm.

However, in the "Illustrated Book of All Things Ingredients", Langdie Hongqiao does not rank high among tens of thousands of dishes. Compared with other dishes that can be eaten by monks in the Liangyi Golden Core Realm, Langdie Hongqiao is undoubtedly the easiest to cook. This troublesome dish uses hundreds of ingredients with different attributes, and there are thousands of cooking steps. Chef Wuye Ling is unwilling to cook this dish unless forced to do so. Naturally, few people care about the name Langdie Hongqiao.

In Old Man Ma's opinion, if Chen Xi really mastered the "Illustrated Manual of All Things Ingredient", it would be perfect to test it with the dish of "Langdie Hongqiao".

"I think among the three of us, I was the only one who memorized this dish. No matter how smart he is, he can't compare to me. He can barely compete with you and my junior sister. Senior brother, aren't you making things difficult?"

Qiao Nan felt aggrieved for Chen Xi, but he was actually praising himself. Obviously, no matter what he did, this guy was a stinker.

"Yes, senior brother, you won't be jealous that Chen Xi's younger brother is more handsome than you, so you want to find another way to drive him away? I won't agree to it."

Pei Bi rolled her eyes and began to complain for Chen Xi in her own way.

Old Man Ma had veins pulsing on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and roared: "Shut up! You two are a narcissist and a big nymphomaniac. What qualifications do you have to challenge me? I am the senior brother and I have the final say!"

Qiao Nan and Pei Bi were silent again, looking helpless as they had succumbed to the power.

"is that OK?"

Although Bai Wanqing didn't know how difficult it was to cross the Hong Bridge, judging from the performances of Qiao Nan and Pei Bi, she roughly guessed the difficulty. She couldn't help but look at Chen Xi with a worried look on her face, and she was extremely doubtful in her heart. Could this bad old man really be here? Are you embarrassing Chen Xi

Chen Xi nodded towards Bai Wanqing, calmly, and replied almost without thinking: "The Langduihong Bridge is decorated with green snail roots, black nan flowers, purple vine nine-leaf fruits, dragon whiskers and poria branches..."

The voice was clear, with a unique quiet power, and it resounded in everyone's ears in an orderly manner.

"These hundreds of ingredients, whose attributes include the five elements of yin and yang, must be cut into silk, as thin as cotton wool. Only then has the first step been completed. The second step is to use the thousand-year-old stone milk spirit liquid as a pool, soak it in categories, and fertilize it. Cultivate these ingredients until they are as smooth as water and as pliable as tendons, and then use green wood spiritual fire, sunflower water spiritual fire, and red melting spiritual fire... "

In a short time, Chen Xi had reported nearly a hundred ingredients with various properties, and began to describe the operation of the ingredients. Bai Wanqing could not understand these, but she could clearly see that as the names of the ingredients floated out of Chen Xi's mouth one by one, As soon as they came out, the expressions of Old Man Ma and the three others gradually became serious, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

She couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, a ray of pride quietly rose in her heart, and she was looking forward to Chen Xi's performance even more.

"Hey, this kid has a good memory. He's almost catching up with me back then." Qiao Nan said blankly, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

"No way, you are still pretty at this time? I remember that although you memorized all the steps of Langdiehong Bridge, there were more than ten mistakes. Little brother Chen Xi has not made a single mistake until now." Pei Bi. Revealed without mercy.

The embarrassment on Qiao Nan's face flashed away, and then she said with a deep expression: "Actually, I was able to be perfect back then. It's just that I was too kind and couldn't bear to make you and my senior brother lose face, so I deliberately... "

"Shut up!" Old Man Ma suppressed his voice and interrupted: "I am recruiting disciples, and I am not here to listen to your boasting!"

Qiao Nan sighed softly, caressing his chin leisurely, with a look of desolation that he didn't understand, but his heart was burning with anger, and he muttered: "Boy, make something wrong quickly, otherwise my brother's majestic and heroic image will be completely ruined. , how to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman in the future..."

However, what makes Qiao Nan desperate is that a quarter of an hour has passed and Chen Xi still hasn't made any mistakes. On the contrary, his thinking is getting clearer and clearer, and his speaking speed is getting faster and faster. He can be said to be eloquent and eloquent.

Qiao Nan was in despair: "It's over, my genius' record that year has been broken..."

Pei Bi murmured infatuatedly: "Confident men are the most handsome. Well, I've fallen. I'm trapped in love and can't extricate myself."

Bai Wanqing's face was radiant and she kept repeating: "Not bad, not bad..."

Old Man Ma's dry and tight cheeks have also blossomed with smiles, like daisies blooming after autumn.

"In short, as long as these different ingredients are carefully operated according to the above-mentioned steps, they can be baked by the Juling Yin Fire to form the unique appearance of the waves surging and the Hong Bridge reflected." After burning the incense, Chen Xi finally turned the waves After explaining all the steps of Diehongqiao one by one, I looked up and saw that everyone around me looked dull and in a trance. I couldn't help but be slightly startled. Is there something wrong in the secret

He had no idea how much of a shock this flawless explanation had brought to others, but he knew very well that today was the most he had ever spoken, almost as much as he had said in a year.

"Ahem, well, it took ten days to reach this level, and the talent is not bad." After a while, Old Man Ma coughed twice, breaking the silence.

Chen Xi was completely relieved. As long as he passed the assessment, he didn't bother to care about his talent.

"What does talent mean?" Qiao Nan seemed to be stimulated, without any trace of grace, waving his arms crazily and shouting: "How can a guy who is more talented than me be called talent? Then I don't think so. What? A piece of trash with dull qualifications?"

Pei Bi couldn't bear Old Man Ma's comments, and her words were extremely sharp: "Senior brother, when you told the master about the Langdie Hong Bridge, your cheeks turned red, you babbled for a long time, and you made most of the mistakes. You..."

Old man Ma was embarrassed and angry when his old scars were opened in front of him. He immediately interrupted Pei Bi with a roar: "Isn't it enough for me to admit that he is a genius? Will you die if you just keep your mouth shut and stop!"

After a pause, Old Man Ma said weakly: "Actually, I was afraid that he would be proud, so I just hit him once and for all."

Qiao Nan and Pei Bi both rolled their eyes.

However, Chen Xi was confused and had no consciousness of becoming a genius. He just muttered secretly in his heart: These three guys are really weird... Bai Wanqing tugged on Chen Xi's sleeves and asked in a low voice: "Were you before?" Didn’t you know that Old Man Ma was going to test this wave-studded rainbow bridge?”

Chen Xi was stunned, shook his head and said, "I never knew."

Bai Wanqing said in surprise: "That means you have completely mastered both the Atlas of All Ingredients and the Collection of Spiritual Fire?"

Chen Xi asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?" He was indeed very confused. In his opinion, it was just memorizing some words. There was nothing surprising about it.

From Chen Xi's tone, Bai Wanqing was finally convinced that this guy had indeed memorized the two books thoroughly, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock.

She once read through the "Atlas of All Things Ingredients", which contained tens of thousands of types of ingredients. She wanted to keep in mind the names, properties, appearance, growth environment, efficacy, etc. of these tens of thousands of ingredients. It's not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, but Chen Xi memorized it all within ten days. How could it not be shocking

But that's not important. Other guys with amazing memories can do the same as long as they put in the effort. The important thing is that Chen Xi not only memorized these ingredients, but also mastered the dishes that can be cooked with these ingredients and every step of the cooking process. This is the most shocking thing.

Of course, if Chen Xi is a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm who has condensed telekinesis, he can naturally remember everything within ten days, but the fact is that Chen Xi only has the cultivation level of the third level of innate realm, and has already been seen through by Old Man Ma and the others, so it is simply impossible. Treat him as a monk from the Zi Mansion.

It is precisely for the above reasons that Old Man Ma and the other two people were extremely shocked and regarded Chen Xi as an extremely intelligent genius.

Bai Wanqing understood all this at this time. Although she was shocked, she couldn't help but feel proud and happy for Chen Xi.

She knew how much suffering the young man in front of her had suffered since he was a child, and what kind of miserable suffering he had gone through. Now he was like being reborn from the ashes and began to shine with his own light. How could it not be gratifying

"Old Man Ma, since you have recruited a disciple, please sign an agreement with me."

At this moment, a voice as cold as ice sounded from outside. Along with the voice, the door opened, and a young woman with a beautiful face walked in, her expression aloof and cold.
