Wandao long distance

Li Qi noticed that on the rooftop, everyone seemed more elegant, ordering a few dishes and tasting them slowly.

By scanning the superficial thoughts of the people around him, he learned that, first of all, they are more elegant and tasteful, and they are not rough people chewing peonies.

The second reason is that the dishes here are very cherished, and the price is quite expensive. People like Li Qi who ordered more than 400 dishes and only ate one bite of each dish, only the dozen or so eighth-rank forces in the city can do it .

Oh, it's not called Bapin here, it's called Yuanshen Realm.

Anyway, that's it.

Others may not be able to afford it, but obviously they won't spend the money indiscriminately, after all, the cost is not small.

Therefore, when Li Qi did this, he would naturally receive the attention of a large number of people. Many people began to secretly observe Li Qi and ordered his subordinates to investigate this sudden eighth grade.

Yes, everyone naturally regarded him as an eighth grade, because... If you do such ostentatious things without this level, the end will probably be ugly.

What level does what level of things, in this world is a rule deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course, Li Qi didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew, because he really just came to eat.

After tasting more than 400 dishes, Li Qi put down his chopsticks.

It’s okay, barely, but compared to Zhu Fengdan’s takeaways he’s eaten, the difference is really big, even the ingredients like swordfish can’t compare, it can only be said that it’s in the eighth and ninth ranks It's not bad, it's still at the level of ordinary food, not at the level of rare treasures.

After Li Qi finished eating, he patted Ju Ye's shoulder: "You eat first, if you can't finish eating, pack it up and go back to eat. I'll go over there to see the scenery, and call me when I pay."

After finishing speaking, Li Qi stood up from the dining table, and walked to the floating rooftop outside under the eyes of many.

There, an eighth-rank was looking at Li Qi, this is what Li Qi just felt, the strongest person here.

Li Qi walked over, the other party was slightly stunned, and then immediately realized that the person in front of him had found him.

So, he went up to meet him and looked at Li Qi: "Your Excellency really has a good appetite."

"It's just eating casually, that's all I like." Li Qi smiled.

"Then which dish do you think is the most appetizing?" The other party asked again.

"That one." Li Qi pointed to one of the plates on the table.

As soon as the other party clapped his hands, he immediately praised: "Good tongue, this thing is a bird in the slope. It originally weighed a hundred catties, and the taste was bland, but it was smoked and roasted with spices, and then dried. , and dried in the sun, folded into 25 catties, then cooked until mature, then tightened with a secret method, only one catty left in a hundred catties, shrunk to only one section, all the flavors are condensed into one bite, so that there is such a delicious taste, and slope Zhongniao can only be captured alive by masters in the Yuanshen Realm. It is extremely difficult to capture, and it is also difficult to cook. Only this restaurant can eat it in a radius of [-] miles. You just fell in love with one bite, so you can see that you are indeed a veteran. "

Li Qi glanced at the other party's superficial thoughts.

It was discovered that this person was really not Gong Wei, but he actually admired Li Qi from the bottom of his heart, and he even developed a feeling of confidant towards Li Qi.

So Li Qi arched his hands, and pointed to another dish: "It's absurd, but, apart from this dish, I think that root has some taste, compared to others, it can be called top grade."

It was the root of a plant, but Li Qi didn't know what it was. It tasted like a bamboo shoot, but it was as crisp and tender as a yam. It was more watery. It was probably an aquatic plant, but it was different from a lotus root. Obviously It is a species unique to this world.

Really delicious and well cooked.

The man was even more delighted, and a sense of confidant sprouted in his heart, and he continued to talk endlessly: "When talking about the beauty of vegetables, there are five things, one should be clean, the other should be clean, the third should be fragrant, the fourth should be crisp and tender, and the fifth should be far away from fat .”

"The vegetables grown at home are the most filthy, and the five must be crisp and tender, all because they must be watered with roots and leaves when they are fertilized. The accumulated manure will lose its cleanliness and fragrance, and it must not be eaten as a last resort."

"Wild vegetables in the mountains are slightly better. They are both crisp and tender, but also fragrant. Because they are born in the mountains, they have the atmosphere of the mountains and forests, but after all, they are born in the soil. The soil is cheap, so it is hard to talk about cleanliness."

"Furthermore, just like bean sprouts, these watery things are not rustic, so they have the word clean, plus they are crisp, tender and fragrant, and the five get three, which can be regarded as worthy of the mouth."

"Again, there are mushrooms, fungi, without roots or stalks, born suddenly, and then passed away suddenly. They have form but have no body. Everything that has body must have dross. There is no dross, it is bodyless, and it has no body. Therefore, it is clean, clean, fragrant, crisp and tender, four out of five, and it can be called the top grade, but the fungus is still meat-like, too fatty, and loses some taste."

"As for the top grade, it is the vegetables in the water. It grows from the water and does not smell of the soil. It is crisp, tender and fragrant, clean and tender, and has a more delicate fragrance. It is all pure and wonderful. Eat it like fish and shrimps drink water, and gnats suck it. Dew, fragrant and elegant, with all five elements in place, this is the top product."

"Just like the dish you ordered, that's it."

The other party said that he was very excited, and his excitement was beyond words for a while. It seemed that he really liked eating.

Li Qi also likes to eat, but it's limited to liking, not to the point of pursuit. He likes to eat delicious food, but he doesn't love it to this extent, so he can't empathize with the other party.

However, this kind of pursuit of favorite things is one of the motivations for chasing the way, so although Li Qi can't empathize, he can understand it very well.

Therefore, Li Qi nodded slightly: "I like it so much, it seems that brother is doing this as his way?"

"Ah? What does it mean to use this as the way?" The eighth-rank was a little confused, not quite understanding what Li Qi was talking about.

Li Qi frowned lightly.

Sure enough, the way of this world is not pursued by oneself.

They practice not to pursue the Tao, but to become stronger.

"That is to say, isn't it very fun to integrate diet into practice?" Li Qi said with a smile.

The other party shook his head: "Hey, what is it like? It doesn't help the strength, it's just unnecessary. If the practice can't make you stronger, what's the point? Forget it, these things are just for fun."

"If you can't pursue what you love, what's the point of practicing?" Li Qi asked back.

"The more this is the case, the more important your strength is. After all, you can only be interested if you live, and live better." The other party just smiled. Although he disagreed with Li Qi's words, for a rare confidant like Li Qi , he still maintained tolerance.

Speaking of this, he suddenly clapped his hands: "By the way, I forgot to say who I am. My surname is Ou, my name is Ou Xianqing, Yuanshenjing, this restaurant is my property, what do you think?"

"My name is Li Qi, and my realm... is higher than Yuanshen realm." Li Qi said.

He didn't say anything, after all, the other party might not be able to bear this kind of title.

"So it's a master from the Ascension Realm? Then I met a senior today." The other party immediately saluted and said so.

The reason for saluting is also very simple, because Ou Xianqing checked Li Qi's cultivation.

Can't see through.

This is indeed a master, even if the opponent is not in the Ascension Realm, I am afraid that the difference is not far behind, otherwise it will not make him completely blind.

"I think it's not bad. By the way, the meal fee hasn't been counted yet. I don't have any spirit stones with me. How about this? I'll also serve a dish. Ou Lou mainly thinks it's okay. Can you waive the meal fee?" Li Qi said.

"Oh? Senior Li said so, but I'm curious, please." Ou Xianqing suddenly became interested.

Such a gourmet with the same hobbies as oneself is rare, and the food that the other party can produce is not easy.

Li Qi himself doesn't know how to cook, and his level is probably higher than these eight grades. He has a way of making wine, but it is basically wine for sacrifices. The standard is the standard, but the taste is not the first. Everything is based on the sacrificial characteristics.

On the other hand, Shen Shuibi, over the past few hundred years, because Li Qi likes to eat this characteristic, the rabbit has actually practiced a good cooking skill for it. Although it is not as good as her alchemy skill, it can still allow Li Qi to enjoy family life comfortably. .

For this, Li Qi was grateful and proud.

So what Li Qi took out was definitely not made by himself, but Zhu Fengdan's takeaway.

That's right, Zhu Fengdan often orders takeaways. Although they are said to be takeaways, they are all really high-quality goods. The ingredients may not be precious, but the cooking level is definitely in place.

After all, you don’t necessarily have to eat the ingredients when you eat. Sometimes you have to eat the techniques, chef’s kung fu and techniques, which are also very interesting. Moreover, Zhu Fengdan often can’t finish eating, and even orders a large table to eat only a few dishes. Naturally, Li Qi Just put it away.

Don't be in vain.

But at this moment, it is naturally impossible for Li Qi to send out the precious ingredients. It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to part with it. The main reason is that these eighth-rank people will probably explode immediately after eating one bite, and they are not blessed to enjoy this kind of food.

So he chose a kung fu dish and put it out.

This move made Ou Xianqing's pupils shrink slightly.

Where did it come from?
Li Qi also noticed the other party's eyes, and scanned the superficial thoughts to understand the other party's thoughts.

In the mortal world of the fairyland, there is no mustard bag.

That's right, the mustard bag in the world is essentially an extraterritorial space opened up by the powerful, and people can send things into it. Xiantian doesn't have such a kind and powerful person, that is to say, they don't have magic weapons for storage. After all, it involves The supernatural powers of space are quite advanced, and the eighth rank is not qualified to get involved.

But it doesn't matter, Li Qi doesn't care, anyway, there are other plans for giving the other party a taste of the food.

A plate of ordinary noodles was brought out, even a bowl of plain noodles, the ingredients used were no more than eighth-grade Qingyang wheat.

Of course, Bapin is an ordinary ingredient for Li Qi, so what he makes is Kung Fu dishes, but it is not for Ou Xianqing.

He could only feel a rush of fresh air.

Li Qi waved his hand slightly, and the bowl of noodles quickly turned from cold to hot. It was leftovers that had been stored for a long time, but Li Qi just put it away because he felt it was a waste.

After the noodles were heated up, they smelled good, but Ou Xianqing couldn't wait to reach out to bring them over. Regardless of the majesty of the strong man in the Yuanshen realm, she picked up the chopsticks, took a sip of the soup first, and then tasted the noodles...

After that, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

This feeling……

own inner world——

indescribable.

His cultivation base is agitating, and his kung fu seems to be responding to this bowl of noodles.

He seemed to feel that the chef who made this bowl of noodles had poured his heart and soul into it, and injected his understanding of the world and pasta into this bowl of noodles with extraordinary skills.

In the past, Ou Xianqing would say that this kind of thing is complete nonsense.

It's just cooking and eating. Although he likes it, this kind of thing can't be put on the table after all. How can it be compared with the supernatural power with great lethality?

However, after eating this bowl of noodles, he suddenly felt...

This is not ridiculous.

There is nothing funny, there is still an understanding of the world in this bowl of noodles.

Yes, that's what matters.

When you have your own unique understanding of the world, whether it is cooking, blacksmithing, fighting, or studying, the essence is the same.

It is all about practicing your cognition and views on the world.

Can’t the understanding you have gained from making noodles and your usage of ingredients and kitchen knives be used in other places?

There is no reason for this.

Everything is common, as long as your understanding of the world through cooking is deep enough, it can be shared with other places.

This is 'commonality'.

The "commonality" of the world, this "commonality", pursued to the end, is the virtual "Tao" created by Taoism.

The root of everything, in which all things are.

The beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, the mystery of mystery, the gate of all wonders.

Tao is the simplicity of integrity. Tao generates all things and is contained in all things. Tao is in things and things are in Tao.

This Tao is the origin of the name 'Taomen'.

So why doesn't diet lead to combat?

Through food and drink, enter the 'Tao', and then pass through the 'Tao', and then extend to the battle.

Everything comes from Tao. "Tao" is the mother of the beginning of all things in the world. The opposition and unity of yin and yang are the essence of all things.
In other words, why are we obsessed with the categories of 'diet', 'combat' and 'manufacturing'?

Does this classification make any sense?This is just the practitioner's own hobby.

As long as you can explore the 'Tao', you can have your own unique understanding of everything, whether it is fighting or eating, you can go deep into it.

Ou Xianqing, seems to have realized it?

It turns out that this is practice
It was just a bowl of noodles, and the Dao Yun in it vibrated, but it made him suddenly realize something——

In order to accumulate mana, to increase killing power, to become stronger, but... can this really make him stronger?
Maybe, but it's definitely not as strong as directly comprehending the essence.

It's like, no matter how finely you make the bow and arrow, no matter how sharp the arrow is, you can't beat the musket.

why?

Because muskets use "power" more deeply, and the "way" used by muskets is more profound than bows and arrows, so the power exerted is naturally stronger and the upper limit is higher.

What Ou Xianqing did before was to make more powerful bows and arrows, but she never thought about making guns.

And at this moment, he was aware of the existence of the gun.

This is what Li Qi wants to do.

He wants to preach in the fairyland. (end of this chapter)
