"Hey! This is interesting! Let's play this! Yan Song, move aside, let me play!" Song Huizong immediately sat down to play mahjong. He became more and more excited as he played, and in a short while he mastered the essence of it.
Ouyang Xiu was so moved by this scene that he almost cried. He had never expected the emperor to be so careless about state affairs! Finally, he left the hall in anger.
At this moment, Long Junhai is still living comfortably in the Shen family. After two days of recuperation, his mood has calmed down a lot.
Fang Ting and Shen Yue have been running to the back garden these days, and they are almost moving in. Others also want to come here to get close to Long Junhai, but they were all stopped by Butler Zhao.
"Senior, can you give me some advice? Why haven't I broken through to the mortal immortal realm after practicing for so many days?" Fang Ting asked curiously.
"There's nothing to be curious about. This is normal because your cultivation foundation is not strong enough, while Chen Yue's cultivation foundation is very solid. As long as her state of mind breaks through, everything will naturally fall into place." Long Junhai explained with a smile.
"Then how many more days do I have to practice? Practice is really boring!" Fang Ting said very unhappily.
"The reason why it's boring is because you chose the wrong martial arts." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Huh? You chose the wrong martial arts? How is that possible? This is the best martial arts in our Fang family!" Fang Ting said very seriously.
"The technique is indeed good, but it is not suitable for you. Your ambition is not here. You can try to play to your strengths and advantages. Then the practice will not only not be boring, but will become particularly interesting." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"So do I need to change my technique? But which technique should I change to? I don't even know what my specialty is, so why don't you help me choose?"
Although Fang Ting's mind is unstable, she is very sweet-mouthed and thick-skinned. She always pesters Long Junhai for no reason. Over time, the other party teaches her some things about cultivation.
Long Junhai smiled when he heard this, and then said, "I'm not you, how would I know what you like? I don't even know what your strengths are. If you want to choose, you should choose it yourself."
"Like? I don't seem to like anything except eating, drinking and having fun. As for my specialties, I don't have any specialties at all?" Fang Ting thought for a while and said.
"Everyone has their own strengths, you just haven't discovered them yet." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Is there a difference between specialties and things you like?" Fang Ting asked again.
"Strengths are innate, while hobbies are acquired interests. However, if you like something enough, it will slowly turn into your specialty. For example, if you like to eat, and you eat more, it will become your specialty." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"But can eating be considered a form of cultivation?" Fang Ting asked again in confusion.
"Of course it is a cultivation method, but it is a more difficult one." Long Junhai explained again.
"Huh? What's so difficult about eating? If this is a martial art, I would have practiced it to the level of Saint Daoist Ancestor long ago!" Fang Ting said with a laugh.
"Hmph, not necessarily. To eat, you first need the ingredients. This is what discourages many people."
Before Long Junhai finished speaking, Fang Ting smiled and said, "That's not a problem at all. I have more than enough food at home!"
"It's not enough to just have the ingredients. We also need to make these ingredients into delicious meals. Moreover, these meals must not only be colorful, fragrant and delicious, but also nutritious and suitable for gastrointestinal absorption. After all, everyone's physique is different, and the meals suitable for them are also different. At that time, different people may have different reactions and effects after eating the same thing!" Long Junhai said again.
"Huh? There is such a situation? Then can I just cook for myself? That way I don't have to worry about other people's situations." Fang Ting said with a smile.
"Of course you can. This can also save energy, but it requires you to have a good understanding of yourself. Otherwise, if you can't cook meals that suit you, your cultivation speed will also be slow." Long Junhai continued.
"Oh, I see. It doesn't matter. I like to eat. At worst, I can just eat a little more. Senior, can you teach me how to cook?" Fang Ting asked curiously again.
"I'm afraid this won't work. Firstly, I don't have that much time and energy. Secondly, this method of practice doesn't have a traceable path like other exercises. You need to figure it out and adjust it yourself. If one day you can cook the heavens and the earth, it means you have reached the level of the Saint Dao Ancestor." Long Junhai said with a smile.
After hearing this, Fang Ting seemed to be thinking about it, and then she said, "Senior, can you show me how to do it? Just once! I only want to see it once! You have to let me know the general direction of cultivation!"
Long Junhai smiled upon hearing this, then said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll give you an inspiration. As for whether you can comprehend it or not, that's up to you."
After Long Junhai finished speaking, he picked a flower from the bushes next to him, and then took out two small bowls from the space ring. Then a ball of flame appeared in the palm of his hand. It didn't look very hot. The flower was added just to burn the impurities and some dust on the surface. Then he waved his hand casually, and a ball of clear water wrapped around the flower and boiled it. After just a blink of an eye, the flame in his hand suddenly disappeared. Long Junhai sprinkled some seasonings he had prepared before, and then ice appeared on his hand. After the alternation of cold and hot, the flower looked more beautiful than before it was picked!
Then Long Junhai slowly melted the ice, heated a bowl of clear soup with his right hand and poured it into the bowl, then took out some auxiliary ingredients from the space ring and stir-fried them on the palm of his right hand to thicken the soup, emitting a strong fragrance that filled the mouths of those who saw it.
After pouring one bowl of rich soup into another, Long Junhai took out a white jade plate, placed the completely cooled flowers on it, and said, "Now it's done."
"Ah? Can we eat it now?" Fang Ting and Shen Yue were dumbfounded, not sure whether this thing could be eaten.
Although Long Junhai's performance had dazzled them, now apart from the two bowls of soup, this flower still looked like a flower? And could the petals really be eaten?
"Of course you can eat it. It should taste good." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"How do you eat this, senior? Eat the petals directly? How do you drink these two bowls of soup?" Fang Ting asked curiously.
"If you like clear soup, drink it. If you like thick soup, drink it. You can also dip it in soup. It's up to you what you like." Long Junhai said with a smile.
Fang Ting and Shen Yue looked at each other. Although they were both very curious, since this was something cooked by Long Junhai himself, they started eating boldly.
The petals tasted soft and elastic, very chewy, and even tastier than meat! Shen Yue took a sip of the clear soup and felt refreshed.
