Chapter 23 Flame Control
Chen Xuejian only thought about Yin Zhengwei, but he didn't expect this guy to take revenge in this way. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and racked his brains and came up with a reason.
"A good chef must be top-notch in controlling the heat!"
Chen Xuejian said confidently: "Whether a dish is delicious or not, it depends on the heat not in place. Frying vegetables requires high heat, frying sugar-heart eggs, low heat, slow simmer, raw fried, and braised sauce... Each one has different heat. If you use the wrong heat, the dish made will not only not become a delicacy, but may also be very unpalatable."
"Although I started practicing with the help of Xu Muqing recently, I will never have less time to contact with Fire than any of my classmates, so I will not be worse than anyone who took the exam together for the details of Fire."
His dishes are indeed well cooked, but they are only different from real chefs compared to ordinary people. But this does not prevent him from bragging. Who says that there are quite a limited number of people in this world who know cooking skills?
"Of course, it's no point in saying it, just show it after a demonstration!"
Chen Xuejian smiled, but he cursed in his heart. He endured the pain and spent another Yuan crystal, allowing Huntian Creation Furnace to attach its power to an alchemy furnace.
Light the fire, put the Yuan crystal stone, everything is as before, then stretch out your right hand, open your fingers, and dance freely in the air, just like playing a piano.
The flames in the alchemy furnace slowly increased with his dancing fingers, and after reaching a limit, they slowly decreased. This continued to repeat, the speed and frequency were extremely stable, and the time spent in each cycle was almost the same.
For a moment, there was silence around, and even Xia Anjun and Tang Jiaheng were slightly stunned.
They can also do this kind of fire control method, but when they ask themselves, they cannot do it during the first level of Qi Refining Period.
“Cooking is sometimes the art of flame!”
Chen Xuejian smiled slightly and saw that the flames in the alchemy furnace turned blue, soaring more than three meters high, and then breaking from the middle.
The flames below were still there, and the ones above did not disappear, but turned into balls and slowly bloomed. In an instant, they turned into blue butterflies, flying in the air, hovering until the energy was exhausted and they disappeared.
This time, the teachers were also moved. They dared not say that they could easily do such fire control methods.
The students around were already making excitement, but they were silent at this moment. Even if they were unwilling to believe it in their hearts, they would not dare to say that Chen Xuejian had deceived so many teachers and Xie Feihong.
And the chef and the flame are indeed natural.
Zheng Wei's face was ashamed. This time, he couldn't say anything. He was even more angry. It would be fine if Xia Anjun and Tang Jiaheng were better than him. Just such a beggar-born waste can be so much better than him. It's so hateful.
Xie Feihong looked at him and shook his head, sighed, and then asked Chen Xuejian to stop.
"After this exam, the number of places to be promoted to the lower class will be announced tomorrow with a notice. Other students will continue to study in the basic class. I hope you can achieve satisfactory results in the next exam in one year."
After saying some congratulations, Xie Feihong announced the end of the exam.
The students dispersed one by one, and Zheng Wei glanced at Chen Xuejian fiercely and had to leave.
Chen Xuejian was about to find the residence, but shortly after he was discharged from the hospital, Liu Wenhao suddenly flashed out in front and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that you actually have this ability!"
Liu Wenhao shook his head and sighed: "I thought you, a guy from the second level of Qi Refining Period, could not pass the test, but he actually passed... I don't know why, but my intuition told me that you were not confused by the last test at Feishouzhai yesterday. You really know the identification method, right?"
Chen Xuejian was about to deny it, but suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a while, he smiled and said, "The mountain man has his own tricks, and that's really not fooling."
Liu Wenhao's eyes lit up and he asked, "How did he identify it?"
Chen Xuejian smiled and said, "Actually, I am very interested in you passing yesterday's second test. If I guessed well, although you understand the method of alchemy, you are not proficient. It is more than enough to deal with today's exam, but it would be impossible to pass that second test... How did you do it?"
He felt that Liu Wenhao's ability should be limited, but the performance of Master Zhenli at that time was too strange.
Liu Wenhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if he had a plan and said, "This is easy to say. Tell me your method, and I will tell you my method."
Chen Xuejian refused to comment and just said, "You talk first!"
Liu Wenhao shook his head: "You talk first!"
Chen Xuejian did not hesitate and left with his legs raised, sneering: "I am curious about your method, but it is not as interested as you imagined. Whether you know it means nothing to me."
"Wait, wait!"
Liu Wenhao hurriedly stopped and sighed lightly, "Actually, you guessed it right. My level of alchemy can be at most intermediate class in Qinglan Academy. Under normal circumstances, I can't pass the second level. It's just that the elixir taken out by the shopkeeper was refined by an old friend of mine, so I can tell it."
"No!" Chen Xuejian shook his head and said, "We know each other, but even if we know each other well, you will definitely not be able to judge the situation of each furnace of elixir I have refined."
"Generally speaking, that's how it is!" Liu Wenhao nodded: "However, my old friend is very special. He has a very talented talent in elixirs. Unfortunately, five years ago, he became obsessed with the disease, causing damage to the meridians, blood and qi accumulation in the brain, and it is difficult to treat elixirs. Although all aspects have gradually recovered, a disease has also been caused."
"Once he concentrates his mental power too much, he will have a headache and his mental breakdown. Among the five elixirs, spiritual elixir pregnancy is related to the strength of mental power, while sublimation of the essence is related to the fineness of mental power control. Once the mental power is broken, this link will become extremely bad."
"With my old friend's ability, it is no problem to achieve good energy sublimation. But he has a unyielding personality and doesn't know where to listen to a folk remedy, saying that if he keeps using mental power to impact, he may break the qi and blood accumulated in his brain and return to normal."
"So he always tries to do his best, but the more he does this, the more he fails, so that the elixirs he has refined over the past five years have the same result: all the links are excellent, but the sublimation of essence is poor."
"My old friend lives in the south, and there are not many people in the north. The shopkeeper should have spent some time buying his pills, which is just for me to test me. But I don't know, when I look at the box, I know who made it, so I can naturally pass it."
So that's it... Chen Xuejian suddenly realized and thought that if this guy was not the story he made up, his luck would be really good.
"Okay, I've said it, where are yours?"
Liu Wenhao asked, looking expectant.
Chen Xuejian smiled: "I didn't agree to do an intelligence exchange. You said it yourself, and I didn't force you!"
Liu Wenhao was stunned: "You..."
"I will tell you another 4,500 yuan crystal stone, otherwise...no talk!"
Chen Xuejian laughed and strided away, leaving Liu Wenhao with a look of grimness.
When Chen Xuejian returned to his residence, he recalled that this exam was painful again.
I borrowed energy twice and spent 200 yuan in crystals, five-door assessments, plus the flame control display behind it, three hundred yuan in crystals. Total, it is 500 yuan in crystals.
I bought three sets of foundation-building pill materials and added the alchemy energy to get 65% off. Now there are only less than 300 yuan of crystals left, and I am very short of money.
If Liu Wenhao hadn't given 500 yuan of crystal stone yesterday, he would have been unable to pass this level today.
"We must find a way to make money... Damn Zheng Wei!"
Thinking of Zheng Wei spending 150 yuan more crystal stones, Chen Xuejian clenched his fist, and his teeth were itchy when he hated him.
"Didn't you pass the exam? You're not happy at all?"
Suddenly, a crisp woman's voice came, as pleasant as a lark, but Chen Xuejian was so scared that he jumped. He looked in the sound and was stunned: "It's you!"
On one side of the wall was a woman in blue, with her slender legs hanging from the bottom and shaking gently. Her facial features were delicate, her face was pretty, and her temperament was extraordinary, making people unforgettable after seeing it once.
