I’ll Quit Being a God Chapter 60: Hoshikuma Doji・Yongyi
Guan Junyan is no stranger to the elixir.
There are many ancient legends about flower growers and pre-travel online novels. The concept has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and some of them are transformed into gods and demons.
But whether it is the history before time travel or artistic processing, alchemy is a very demanding thing.
Burn incense, bathe and change clothes, choose an auspicious day to start the alchemy furnace, the materials must be carefully selected, and the alchemy furnace is the top priority, how can it be like you.
Although Guan Junyan had tried very hard to stabilize his mind and not make a sound, the shop owner still noticed the clues and gave Guan a sideways glance.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"I always feel..." Guan Junyan uh-huhed twice and said honestly: "There is a big gap between it and my knowledge of alchemy."
Use the technique of picking vegetables, use the kitchen knife to process the materials on the chopping board, and finally throw them into the pot - are you the legendary Xuansheng of the Song Dynasty, the Confucian scholar, the mysterious demon, and the dragon... There are too many names to list them all.
"You are talking about the ancient method represented by the Taoist Danding sect. Like your Yidao style, there are many people practicing it now. But a friend of mine, a real alchemy master, once told me , to make elixirs, you only need to practice the elixirs. It doesn’t matter what method you use. If you have the ability, you can use an induction cooker."
Guan Junyan: "..."
Not to mention whether the induction cooker is good or not, he is becoming more and more like the senior whose natal character is hegemony.
Although it looks nothing like it.
She is not seeking death, she is not funny, and she is still a woman.
Moreover, compared with the beginning of Song Shuhang's journey of self-cultivation, except for the use of kitchen utensils in the kitchen, the shop owner is still very capable of intimidating people in other aspects.
A kind of material containing spiritual power represented by wood core grass, the five elements of yin and yang before alchemy. Of course, the most powerful thing is the special effects... Ahem, in short, Guan Junyan is completely sure about this restaurant, this kitchen is absolutely It is extraordinary and is not a place where seniors simply play life.
Continuing to recite Bing Xin Jue silently, Guan Junyan forced himself to calm down and carefully feel the flow of spiritual power in the store.
The reason I could hold back for five minutes before speaking was because I really felt the extraordinaryness of it.
The rotation of the five elements and the harmony of yin and yang, even if the shop owner did it casually, it gave him a great inspiration as a rookie onmyoji.
No longer stick to the Yin and Yang Tao from books, and your horizons will be greatly broadened.
The shop owner didn't lie to him, it was indeed an eye-opener.
With something worth understanding and learning, the passage of time immediately becomes faster.
Half an hour passed before he knew it. The shop owner clapped his hands, changing the flow of the five elements' spiritual power, and at the same time, it also took Guan Junyan out of his study state.
"Let's start the pot."
Guan Junyan was speechless again.
Although I already know that you are not taking the usual path, it is still awkward to cook a pot and make an elixir together.
I automatically thought of the shopkeeper as Taishang Laojun and myself as the boy guarding the alchemy furnace. Without saying anything more, I immediately walked to the pot and opened the lid.
A strong fragrance rushed into the nasal cavity and went down along the respiratory tract.
Suddenly, my waist is no longer sore, my back is no longer painful, and I can walk with more energy - this is the opposite of overdraft after overexertion.
Just when I was about to take a few more puffs, the shop owner said: "Enough is enough. This elixir is not made for humans. One or two puffs of the elixir are fine, but more is harmful and useless."
After speaking, a white jade bottle was thrown over.
Guan Junyan didn't dare to delay, so he caught them and put them one by one into the bottle.
Although the process is simple and the elixir is strange, the finished product is unexpectedly regular.
The emerald-like projectile, the size of a fingernail, is translucent and exudes the fragrance of medicine.
A bottle is full and corked, no more, no less, just right.
Even a layman can see the success of this alchemy.
Guan Junyan returned to the bamboo chair and handed the white jade bottle to the shop owner. He was hesitating whether to ask more questions.
The shopkeeper has already said: "If you want to ask, just ask. Since I let you see it, I'm not afraid of you asking."
"Yes." Guan Junyan was determined, "The store also operates elixir business? Are you still an alchemist?"
"Strictly speaking, I am not an alchemist. I have a friend who is, but I am not. After his death, I learned a little bit in memory of him."
The shop owner shook his head, obviously showing only a trace of nostalgia, but giving people a deep sense of vicissitudes of life.
"I actually have no talent in alchemy, but I have lived a long life and slowly mastered some tricks. Most of the business in the store is like this. It took almost two hundred years to refine the alchemy, and a little more than a hundred years to forge it. , I have been studying cooking skills all the time, because the food in ancient Japan was really unpalatable, and it did not gradually get better until the Age of Navigation began."
Got it, two things.
My flower-growing family has been a world of foodies since ancient times.
Time is the greatest capital.
I really want to know how much the shop owner has learned in her long life, and how much I can learn from her.
These questions were not asked out loud, not because they did not dare, but before the questions were asked, there was a loud noise outside the store.
Bang! boom! boom! boom!
It was like a heavy object hitting the ground, once and for all, with an even rhythm, getting closer and closer.
The shop owner stood up from the bamboo chair and walked out of the kitchen slowly: "It came just in time, and it's just finished."
Obviously, the person who made the noise was the client of the alchemy business.
With the most exaggerated and loudest sound, a figure appeared at the door of the store.
Girlish posture, white undershirt, blue and red striped skirt, blond hair hanging naturally down to her waist.
There is a single horn growing in the middle of her forehead, which indicates her identity as a ghost.
However, unlike Shuten and Ibaraki, the two ghost kings, this one is obviously much more mature. Both his figure and face have reached the level of an adult or even a royal sister, but his loud voice and bold style are very similar.
As soon as he entered the door, he waved and greeted loudly: "Shopkeeper, long time no see."
"Long time no see, little yellow ghost."
"As I said last time, don't call me that. I named myself Hoshiung Yugi."
"I thought you just imitated human names on a whim."
"It's true that it was a whim, but I am very satisfied with this name. It is brave, courageous and majestic, so I decided to keep using it. You have always advised us to keep pace with the times."
At this point, the identity of the female ghost clan is undoubtedly revealed.
Xing Xiong Tongzi, the third ghost king of the country.
The most mysterious ghost king among the forces in the country is not as famous as the previous two, but his attributes are not inferior to his strength.
There are even legends that she is the real person in charge of Oeyama because Shuten Doji and Ibaraki Doji don't like to take care of things.
The following conversation also confirmed this.
“To keep pace with the times, don’t use such primitive transportation methods.”
"Actually, I haven't been out for a long time, and I want to stretch my muscles after a long time. Cuixiang and Huashan always refuse to go back, and I can't even think about coming out."
