Chapter 528 I’m Cooking
"Hurry up, hurry up, use all your strength, didn't I give you food just now?"
"Bang!"
"It's not loud enough, not even loud enough! You want to be a chef with such a low voice?"
"Bang--!"
"Hit me with all your might! Are you even scratching the food with this punch? Circulate your Qi and blood, condense your true essence, fuse your thoughts, and finally, force your way into the meat! Gather all your energy, spirit, and soul into this one punch and deliver it relentlessly! Break up and loosen the muscle fibers inside, so the fried steak will taste delicious!"
"boom!"
Amidst a violent roar, the meat on the special chopping board was hammered into meat patties by a pair of fists as hard as steel.
If you look closely, you will see that the meat has a delicate texture after being hammered, the particles are evenly distributed, and the internal structure has been completely hammered into a loose shape.
When the last punch landed, invisible ripples spread out and then converged in an instant.
The whole steak looked like it was coated with a layer of lustrous white light.
In a flash, the faint white light disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened before.
“Huff. Huff.”
A burly young man with a slightly round face was panting heavily, his whole body was flushed, and his body temperature was abnormally high.
The shiny black color gradually faded from his arms, and white steam rose up.
"Very good, very energetic!"
Lu Wenwu waved his hand, poured water on the meat pie that had already taken on a unique appearance, and held it in his hand to examine it.
The flesh, which was originally only light pink, turned a crystal clear red color due to the repeated beatings infused with qi, blood, and true energy. It looked like a ruby that had melted and then reassembled.
"Yes, I haven't been lazy in my training during this period. I have mastered this fist technique for improving the quality of meat and removing impurities. The steak I hammered out today is of acceptable quality."
Lu Wenwu smiled and put the piece of meat back on the special chopping board, then extended his hand as a sign of invitation.
"Let's move on to the next step and finish this deep-fried pork chop."
"Yes, Fifth Brother!"
After Qian Xiaopang responded, he immediately started moving.
Spread salt, black pepper, cooking wine, light soy sauce, sugar, ginger juice, garlic powder and other seasonings evenly on the pork chops very skillfully, then put them in a bowl, crush half a lemon with your hands and pour the juice in, and finally seal it with plastic wrap.
"Cleaned up."
Qian Xiaopang mobilized his mental strength, looked at his hands covered with sauce, and muttered to himself.
An imperceptible breeze blew past, and the "dirt" on his hands was accurately taken away by the magic spell and sent into the trash can, making his hands clean again.
"You're also very skilled at wandless casting. Don't miss the cleansing spell. This will save you a lot of trouble." Lu Wenwu praised. "Maintain this state and steadily control the intensity of your thoughts."
Qian Xiaopang nodded silently, took out the low-key and luxurious Fire Dragon Staff from his arms, concentrated on mobilizing his own thoughts, and stretched out his hand to point at the marinated pork chops.
"Time accelerates."
The spell sounded and golden light shot out.
The marinated pork chops suddenly lit up with an incredible golden color, and the entire stainless steel bowl was covered by that vast and majestic power at this moment.
Qian Xiaopang's forehead was hidden in his chef's hat, and beads of sweat continued to seep out. He seemed to be in a state of great physical exertion.
About ten seconds later, the golden light emitted from the tip of the wand disappeared, and the vast power also disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the results of his performance, Qian Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief and put his wand away again. He felt as weak as if he had just fought an intense battle.
"The time spell is just okay. Your cultivation is still a little too low. Speeding up a pork chop by two hours seems to be taking half your life away."
"Unless it's an assessment or training like this, it's difficult to actually apply the time spell to cooking."
Lu Wenwu crossed his arms and commented sharply, with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face.
Being able to use it, being able to apply it skillfully, and being able to apply it skillfully in practice are three completely different concepts.
Qian Xiaopang is still far from being able to skillfully use the time spell.
Of course, this is just what Lu Wenwu thinks.
He had very high, even harsh, requirements for Qian Xiaopang.
If others knew that Qian Xiaopang could use the time ability at the mere entry level, he would definitely be called a stunning genius.
Even though this time ability is pitifully weak, just accelerating a piece of fat muscle steak for two hours consumes a huge amount of energy, which is also the real power of time!
How many old monsters in the Star Realm have spent their entire lives searching for the path of time, but have never been able to find it!
You still despise it!
This simply doesn't make sense!
Qian Xiaopang himself did not express any opinion.
After two and a half months of Lu Wenwu's devilish training, his strength has been greatly improved, and it can be said that he has been reborn.
Even if Lu Wenwu didn't teach him any fighting skills, he could easily beat all the students in the school just by relying on the basic training for the profession of spiritual chef.
Even the few teachers in the Heavenly Realm are no match for him.
The peak of enlightenment!
Half a step to heaven!
This is Qian Youcai’s current strength.
This was the result of Lu Wenwu not deliberately helping him improve his cultivation.
As for why fighting skills haven't been taught yet.
In Lu Wenwu's words, now is the time to increase the values.
No matter how good the mechanism is, it is just a clown without numbers.
As long as your numbers are high enough, you will be a numerical monster, and all mechanisms will seem ridiculous in front of you.
It’s not too late to improve the mechanism once the values are raised.
Lu Wenwu really wanted to find a successor to pass on the spirit chef's skills, rather than just taking in a disciple to spice up his life.
The biggest difference between an inner disciple and a registered disciple is that the master will really help you plan your cultivation route and ability system, starting from laying the foundation in detail, rather than just looking at your cultivation level.
Anything else is fine, the foundation must be solid.
A towering building rises from the ground!
If one is only aiming for cultivation, then just throw him into the Spirit Stone Mountain in the Dragon Mansion. He can break through to the celestial being level just by lying down and doing nothing for two and a half months.
That doesn't make sense.
"Go on, remember the technique to activate the spiritual charm, and pay more attention to the technique of coating with powder and the temperature of the oil." Lu Wenwu reminded.
With the approval of his master, Qian Xiaopang skillfully heated the oil in a pan, coated the carefully marinated pork chops with batter, and gently compacted the breadcrumbs.
When the oil temperature rises to 60%, put the processed pork chops into the oil pan and fry them. When both sides are golden brown, remove them with a colander.
After draining the fat, pick up a kitchen knife and quickly cut it into even-sized strips and place them on a plate.
After doing all this, Qian Xiaopang nervously presented the golden and crispy fried pork chop to Lu Wenwu with both hands, just like a primary school student who had just finished writing the final exam paper and was waiting for the teacher to grade it on the spot.
After Lu Wenwu took it, he pressed one of the pieces lightly with his finger. A crisp snapping sound was immediately heard, and the rich aroma of meat and fat mixed with the juice of the pork chop itself flowed out, filling the room with fragrance.
After picking up a piece of pork chop and chewing it carefully, Lu Wenwu did not give any comment.
Instead, pour spicy soy sauce and Japanese pork cutlet sauce on the other two pieces respectively and taste them again.
Qian Xiaopang swallowed his saliva and became more and more nervous.
He swore that even when he failed the exam because of poor performance, he had never been so nervous before going home to wait for his father to spank him.
"It's okay, there's no technical content in this thing."
Fortunately, Lu Wenwu gave a decent evaluation, neither good nor bad.
Of course, this was judged by his extremely high standards.
If Qian Xiaopang's fried pork chop was at Xiao Bagan's, he would at least be rated as the Fried Pork Chop Immortal, and the guy selling tires would at least be given one star.
This finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He had failed several times before, either because he used the time spell incorrectly or something went wrong in the final cooking process.
If you don't pass this time
Qian Xiaopang couldn't even imagine what kind of perverted training he would have to endure.
Lu Wenwu is really generous, he really gives resources when he has them.
Top-grade spirit stones are used for recovery, spirit spring water is used for bathing, spirit food is used as three meals a day, and tailor-made heavenly-level skills and super-powerful spells are available for selection.
He is really inhumane in terms of training.
Qian Xiaopang shed tears of sorrow when he recalled his training time over the past two months.
I originally thought that memorizing countless classics in the theoretical study part was enough to make people feel hopeless.
When it comes to the actual practice part, it is even more important.
Compared with actual practice, learning theory is as enjoyable as being on vacation.
It was really a life-and-death training.
Literally life and death.
You can really practice until you die!
After the potential was completely stimulated by death, Lu Wenwu used his superb healing methods to revive and strengthen Qian Xiaopang, constantly gaining insights between life and death.
This kind of great opportunity to come back to life and understand death and life is not something that all protagonists in online novels have the privilege to experience.
Xiaopang does it once a month on average, and his potential is stimulated very thoroughly.
Even if you can be resurrected, the feeling of being trained to death is really unpleasant.
Therefore, even if it weren't for the previous poisonous oath, he would still practice madly every day, fearing that he would experience the separation of soul and body again because of failing to complete the set training goals.
As of today, Qian Xiaopang's cultivation has reached the level of great perfection in the Dao, half a step to becoming a god.
In addition to several heavenly-level skills and martial arts, he has also mastered the power of fists and swords, as well as dozens of spells commonly used in cooking and daily life. The most commonly used ones can basically be cast without a wand and silently.
Take the Chopping Stuffing Spell as an example. Qian Xiaopang's current wandless Chopping Stuffing Spell is many times stronger than the one Wang Teng used to kill the pagans two months ago. The true sword intent can be condensed on each knife.
This is normal.
It was true that Wang Teng had benefited from Lu Wenwu’s spell proficiency for free.
But he was very ordinary at using the kitchen knife, which greatly limited the power of the spell.
If someone with money today used a hundred kitchen knives to cast a chopping spell, a very confident pagan wouldn't even have a chance to grow chicken wings before being chopped neatly.
"I'm so worried. Up to now, you can only stir-fry a few simple dishes, or make stews, barbecues, deep-fries, and other things that don't require much skill! Don't embarrass me in the exam room when the time comes. I promised Liu Dao that I would be a hidden protector."
Looking at Qian Xiaopang, whose figure had changed drastically, Lu Wenwu deeply understood the feelings of those university professors in his previous life.
Your own students pose no threat to you in the academic world, but they can ruin your reputation in the education world.
"Forget it. Considering your good performance these days, I'll give you three days off to rest. By then, Wang Teng should be back."
Lu Wenwu sighed and casually threw out a piece of translucent crystal with a milky white interior, about the size of a fingernail.
As soon as the crystal was exposed to the air, the concentration of spiritual energy in the kitchen began to soar wildly, doubling in just a few seconds.
"Take this thing back and refine it. Three days later, I hope you will come back here to find me at the Heavenly Man Realm. I will take you and Wang Teng to the final sprint before the exam."
As he spoke, Lu Wenwu suddenly laughed, his eyes looking playful.
"If you don't break through, you're going to suffer!"
After Qian Xiaopang took the crystal, his ecstasy came to an abrupt end, and even his smile froze.
But he put the matter aside almost instantly and carefully put the crystal in his hand into the necklace hanging around his neck.
He was just one step away from reaching the realm of heaven and man.
Now that Master has bestowed upon me such a treasure, I would be doing myself a disservice if I don’t break through!
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Qian Xiaopang finished his promise loudly, and then he relaxed a little.
When he is not practicing, Lu Wenwu is a typical kind master, and it is okay for him to be a little unrestrained and casual.
If he was really strict and old-fashioned, he wouldn't have let Qian Xiaopang call him Fifth Brother.
This is not respectful at all for a master and disciple who have inherited the mantle.
Qian Xiaopang came up to Lu Wenwu with a smile and asked while eating the fried pork chops he had just made.
"Fifth Brother, what kind of treasure is this you gave me? Why do I feel like it's even more powerful than a top-grade spirit stone?"
"A fragment of immortal crystal with impurities will gradually disintegrate into high-purity spiritual energy due to insufficient concentration."
Lu Wenwu casually cast a spell and began to let the kitchen clean up itself, while answering his apprentice's questions.
"The real immortal crystal fragments contain pure immortal energy. If your small body absorbs even a strand, I'm afraid it will be scattered here and there. I'll have to spend a lot of effort to fight you back."
"Fuck! Immortal Crystal!"
These words scared Qian Xiaopang so much that he shuddered.
Why is it that every time Fifth Brother makes a move, it’s something out of a myth?
If I continue like this, even if my fifth brother takes out a peach or a ginseng fruit one day, I probably won't be surprised.
"Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, when can you tell your founding disciple and your beloved disciple about the origins of you, Master Lan, and Maomao? I'm so curious."
Lu Wenwu glanced at him and sneered, "That day won't be too far away. You'll find out by the time you enroll in university. By then, I hope you and Wang Teng will have a big heart and not be so scared that you collapse to the ground."
"Do you have to be so weird?"
Qian Youcai felt that his master was deceiving the silly boy, but he had no evidence.
Lu Wenwu shook his head. "Now is not the time to dwell on this. Your last mission before your holiday is to finish the dishes in your hands and then head to the military airport to pick up your good brother. The military plane Wang Teng is on is about to land. You'll have just enough time to sprint over there."
"Wang Teng is back!? I'll go right away!"
Qian Xiaopang suddenly jumped three feet high and disappeared in a flash.
He couldn't wait to show off in front of his unfilial son.
What kind of bullshit national elite training camp is this? Is it comparable to my fifth brother?
