" That's right, Master, how could you…" The surrounding disciples were all stunned and cried out involuntarily.
"What's wrong with that? I don't need this token anymore. I originally wanted to pass it to Qian 'er and Kun' er after they won, but now it seems like it has a new owner.”Elder Wan said with a smile.
" This..." Han Xu was still at a loss. He did not dare to accept it so easily.
"Xiao Xu, take it. Don't let down Master's good intentions!”Nangong Qian and Nangong Kun stuffed the gold medal into Han Xu's hands and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would accept it.
"Alright, since Senior is sending me off, I will definitely keep it well and not let Senior down.”
Han Xu no longer refused and carefully accepted the gold medal. Elder Wan also heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.
The four of them only left the Longyin Residence at noon. Along the way, Nangong Ziyin was full of praise for Han Xu. The Nangong Twins shook their heads and laughed.
"Then you didn't comment just now because you came out with the same sample as me?”Nangong Kun asked bluntly.
"Of course. I've been with the two of you for so long and I've learned a lot. Don't underestimate me.”
When the other three heard this, they laughed in unison, causing little Ziyin's face to blush.
"Big Brother Qian, what kind of treasure is this gold medal? Why did everyone react so strongly when Senior Wan said that he wanted to give it to me?”Han Xu took out the gold medal and examined it carefully.
"Xiao Xu, you must take good care of this gold medal. This is the imperial chef's token that enters the palace. Only the best chefs in the world can hold it. Master has given it to you.”
"What is it? Imperial Chef Token? And it was given by the Emperor…This was too precious.”After Han Xu learned the truth about the gold medal, he was completely shocked and could not believe it.
"That's right, Master has given it to you. In the future, as long as the Emperor summons you, you can freely enter the palace.”
Han Xu held the gold medal, and a heavy sense of mission suddenly rose in his heart. This sudden identity symbol gave him a lot of pressure. Perhaps it was because he had left his mother, Han Xu felt a sense of timidity. He was afraid that he would not do well enough, afraid that he would not be able to complete the mission entrusted to him by Old Master Wan, afraid that he would let down his mother's nurturing…
Nangong Qian seemed to have seen through Han Xu's doubts. He patted his shoulder and said,""Xiao Xu, don't worry. Master has instructed us to follow you from now on. We'll help you perfect your culinary skills.”
Nangong Kun nodded his head. Han Xu calmed down and took a deep breath, relieved.
"Alright, I know that Brother Han is the best. When I get home, I will definitely tell Uncle and Aunt about today's exciting match.”Nangong Ziyin pouted and pulled the three of them towards the Nangong Manor.
After dinner, Nangong Ziyin really told Master Nangong and Madam Nangong about Han Xu's competition today. She even added salt and vinegar to it, making Han Xu feel hot and cold. Madam Liu listened to the story while making some flower tea. Han Xu stayed here for two days and fell in love with Madam Nangong's jasmine tea.
According to Nangong Qian, Old Master Nangong's name was Nangong Rui, and he met Madam Nangong on a trip to Su Hang. Madam Nangong's name was Liu Ruyan, and she was a young lady from a wealthy family in the Suhang area. Her father had been running a tea shop for many years, so she had been influenced by him since she was young and had a deep understanding of the tea art. The flower tea she brewed not only tasted fresh, but the color was also unique. She used the specific gravity of pollen to make different colored flower tea, which was very beautiful. Han Xu had also seen the colorful flower tea and had an idea to make the strange soup of "Peace in the Four Seas".
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms. Old Master Nangong was busy with government affairs, Lady Liu was busy making soup for Old Master Nangong, the Nangong siblings had agreed to play chess, and Han Xu wanted to practice his Qi and increase his cultivation, so he went back to his room alone to cultivate.
After returning to the west wing, Han Xu summoned the Haoran Mirror. An ancient book gradually appeared in the green light, and the words "Jinling Treasure Book" could be clearly seen on it. Han Xu carefully opened the treasure book and added two more dishes, which were " Peace of the Four Seas " and " Battle Dance of Chiyou ". Although there was still a long way to go before he could awaken the entire book, he was now confident that he had a good start.
His mother's secret, the secret of the Green Shadow Gorge, the secret of the Jinling Treasure Tome, everything was covered by a layer of fog. Han Xu was filled with curiosity about all of this. He planned to ask Nangong Rui about his mother when he had the chance. Han Xu took out the gold medal from his bosom, his eyes flashing with excitement. After taking a deep breath, he put the gold medal and the treasure scroll into the mirror. With a wave of his right hand, the mirror turned into a jade pendant and hung on his neck.
Han Xu knew that the mission on his shoulders had become even heavier. Not only did he have to be good at cooking, but he also had to be good at martial arts. So he sat down cross-legged, gathered his qi in his dantian, and urged his true essence to circulate back and forth in his body in an orderly manner. Every time he completed a cycle, his body would feel comfortable and his mind would be clear. The true qi in his body would gradually heat up, and the masculine power would be intertwined. The cultivation of the Divine Void Refinement Realm was maintained by this true qi. Only when it reached a certain level of strength could the true qi condense into the Core Formation Realm and reach the Golden Core Realm.
Just as Han Xu was fully immersed in his cultivation, a noise came from the east wing. It was so noisy that he could not concentrate. In order to avoid Qi deviation, he could only stop and see what was going on.
"Not good, there's an assassin!"
As soon as Han Xu opened the door, he heard Fu's high-pitched and anxious voice. As soon as he heard that there was an assassin, he rushed to the east wing. When he arrived, Fu and a few servants had already fainted on the ground. The Nangong Twins had arrived earlier, and Nangong Ziyin was protecting the Nangong couple. Nangong Rui's arm was still bleeding. Then, he looked at the small bridge in the middle of the lake. A black figure was particularly eye-catching.
"Who are you? How dare you assassinate the Minister!" Nangong Qian probed.
" What? You've forgotten about me in less than a month. It really makes me sad..." A delicate female voice came from the black shadow.
"It's you! Black Cicada of the Demon Sect during the Tianqiong Imperial Cuisine Competition.”Nangong Kun exclaimed.
"Hehe, this little brother is really amazing. You even remember my name clearly. Could it be that you still can't forget me?”
"Stop talking nonsense! Ziyin, Xiaoxu, protect your parents. Brother, let's go!”
Nangong Kun flew into a rage out of humiliation and dashed forward. Nangong Qian knew Black Cicada's strength. He was afraid that his brother would be at a disadvantage, so he urged his Thunder Palm and followed closely behind. Nangong Ziyin raised her right hand, and the purple jade bracelet on her wrist emitted a faint purple light. She formed a seal in her hand, and the purple jade bracelet flew to Nangong Rui's wound and stopped, immediately stopping the blood from flowing out. Nangong Ziyin silently chanted an incantation and sent her true essence into the bracelet. The bracelet emitted a faint light that gathered on the wound, causing it to gradually heal. This bracelet was a magical treasure given to her by Nun Chixia when Nangong Ziyin came back. It was called Purple Qi and had a miraculous effect on healing. Han Xu also summoned the Righteous Mirror, ready to attack at any time.
"Humph, you guys!"
Black Cicada snorted coldly and blew the bamboo leaves in her hand. Black moths flew towards the Nangong Twins and surrounded them tightly. No matter how hard Nangong Qian struck with his Thunder Palm, it was useless. Nangong Kun forced out a ball of spiritual fire from his glabella. This was the spiritual fire that he had been cultivating. The negative karma within could burn everything in the world, including the black moth. When Nangong Kun's spiritual fire appeared, the black moths pounced towards the flames, but they were all burned to ashes.
The black cicadas noticed that the situation was not right. The sound of the bamboo leaves suddenly changed. The black moths moved away from the two of them and circled above their heads like a black net. Black Cicada's hand seal changed, and the black moths turned into sharp blades that attacked the two of them.
The Nangong Twins could no longer dodge the oncoming attack. They channeled their True Essence to their feet and used the Seven Stars Dipper Steps. They dodged left and right in the midst of the blades, unharmed. This Seven Stars Gang Steps was an earth element footwork of the Five Elements Sect of the Shu Dao Sacred Mountain. The footwork was based on the Big Dipper. The positions were varied and endless, causing the opponent's attack to unintentionally become invisible.
"Damn it!"
Black Cicada saw that the Nangong Twins were calm in the face of the Hell Moth Formation, and he felt an inexplicable rage in his heart. He changed the seal in his hand again, and the black moth actually turned into a large ball of black smoke that wrapped the two of them tightly.
"Be careful, don't breathe in the black smoke. It's poisonous!”Nangong Qian reminded.
Nangong Kun was shocked and quickly followed his brother, hoping to escape from the black smoke as soon as possible. However, the black smoke seemed to have grown legs and moved with the two of them without any signs of retreating.
"Not good!" Han Xu saw that the Nangong Twins couldn't hold on any longer, so he quickly flew forward to help.
"Little brat, don't get in the way!"
Black Cicada roared and threw the bamboo leaf in his hand at Han Xu. The bamboo leaf grew in the wind and was the size of a person. After the bamboo leaves swayed and coiled, they quickly wrapped around Han Xu tightly. Han Xu did not expect Black Cicada to do this. He had been tricked and could not move at all.
"Oh no!" Lady Liu saw that the situation was not looking good and exclaimed.
Nangong Ziyin also felt a power on Nangong Rui's wound. It seemed to be resisting the healing ability of her Purple Qi Ring, and the wound could no longer heal. Before Nangong Ziyin could react, a cold dagger was stabbed at her.
"Ah!"
Liu Ruyan saw that Zi Yin could no longer dodge in time and was so frightened that the tone of her voice changed. Nangong Rui pushed Nangong Ziyin with all his strength. The dagger brushed past the corner of her clothes and pierced straight into Nangong Rui's shoulder. Blood flowed out again. Nangong Rui could not resist the pain and fainted.
"No, uncle!"
Nangong Ziyin didn't have time to think. She held the Purple Qi Ring in her hand and urged her true essence. Her body turned into four light shadows and smashed at Black Cicada from four directions. Black Cicada did not panic at all. He waved the dagger in his hand unhurriedly and easily blocked all four rings. Nangong Ziyin couldn't get away at all. She watched her uncle being corroded by the poison, her two brothers trapped in the poisonous gas, and Han Xu lying on the ground without moving. All of this affected her heart.
