Chapter 2657

The Barbarian God Tribe women stared unblinking at Ye Zhangqing, only to see Ye Zhangqing holding a golden dragon-patterned kitchen knife.

On the chopping board, a plucked Fire Spirit Chicken lay still.

The kitchen knife in Ye Zhangqing's hand instantly traced countless afterimages.

The Barbarian God Tribe women only felt as if they hadn't seen anything, and the whole Fire Spirit Chicken had already been cut into chunks.

"What's going on?"

One Barbarian God Tribe woman, with a dazed expression, murmured softly, she hadn't even blinked just now.

Yet they hadn't seen anything clearly, and the Fire Spirit Chicken was already butchered?

That shouldn't be, never mind their cooking skills, but their strength is all above Ye Zhangqing's, yet they still couldn't see clearly?

They were still hoping to steal his techniques, but as soon as they started they couldn't even understand, what's there to learn?

For a moment, the Barbarian God Tribe women all looked at each other in bewilderment, saying nothing.

Their gazes finally fell on the leading old woman, who was the Elder Clan Chief's wife.

She was also considered the head of all the Barbarian God Tribe's women, so the Barbarian God Tribe women naturally turned to her for help.

But the old woman also didn't understand, and under everyone's gaze, this old man could only helplessly speak up.

"Hey little friend, could you slow down a bit? We just couldn't see clearly."

Saying that, she glanced at the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon beside her, who quickly spoke up to translate.

Ye Zhangqing naturally nodded in agreement, and when it came to the second Fire Spirit Chicken, his speed slowed considerably.

This time the Barbarian God Tribe women managed to see clearly, but seeing clearly didn't mean they understood; that was another matter.

Ye Zhangqing's technique, at first glance, seemed to have nothing particularly profound about it.

It was just ordinary, everyday meat cutting.

If it were those fellows from home doing it, they'd probably think they understood it at a glance.

This is the so-called 'ignorance brings no fear'.

Precisely because they never cook and know nothing about Chúyì, they thought Ye Zhangqing's knife work was completely fine.

But for the women who often deal with Chúyì, they noticed some clues.

Although Ye Zhangqing's seemingly ordinary technique looks easy at first glance, neither the angle of his cuts nor the subtle changes in force during the process are as simple as they appear.

The Barbarian God Tribe women said they didn't understand again.

They understood half, but the other half was completely beyond them.

After Ye Zhangqing finished cutting the second Fire Spirit Chicken, the Barbarian God Tribe women remained only half-understanding.

What's this? At the beginning, Ye Zhangqing's speed was too fast; they couldn't understand it no matter how hard they tried, and then it was over.

Later, Ye Zhangqing indeed slowed down as requested, but they still only grasped half of it.

After some study, the Barbarian God Tribe women only felt they might be stupid, having not understood from the start—what should they do?

Finally, after a moment of silence, it was still the leading elder who, setting aside his pride, took the initiative to ask.

For example, what are the particulars of the angle at which Ye Zhangqing cuts, and what are the specifics of the subtly shifting force during the process?

In short, they asked about every detail, no matter how minor.

And in response to the elder's inquiries, Ye Zhangqing certainly held nothing back.

After all, being under someone's eaves, one must bow one's head; whatever can be taught naturally should be taught.

No matter what, for now we still need to maintain good relations with the Barbarian God Tribe, so we can live more safely in this realm.

Under Ye Zhangqing's tireless, exhaustive explanations, the Barbarian God Tribe women gradually came to understand.

Many of their doubts were resolved one by one through Ye Zhangqing's answers.

After Ye Zhangqing finished speaking, the Barbarian God Tribe women nodded one after another, their eyes full of excitement.

Who would have thought that such simple meat cutting concealed so much knowledge?

What they used to do was just simply cut the meat and be done with it.

Who would have thought to cut according to the meat's grain, like Ye Zhangqing does?

Before, the Barbarian God Tribe women had never even considered such things.

Today, from Ye Zhangqing, they indeed learned a great deal, as if a new door had been opened.

They thought that having learned to cut meat was a good start, and that things should go more smoothly from then on, as if they had entered the door.

But as Ye Zhangqing cut the chicken into uneven pieces and prepared to continue with the next task,

After watching for a while, the Barbarian God Tribe women furrowed their brows tightly again.

It wasn't for any other reason; they simply couldn't understand again.

Ye Zhangqing slowed down again, and there was still plenty of time.

The Barbarian God Tribe women probably also wanted to learn Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, so they had set aside plenty of time.

There was no need to rush.

But the problem is, although Ye Zhangqing slowed down, many of the women still couldn't understand.

Moreover, this time was even more outrageous, unlike when they were cutting meat before.

Now, watching Ye Zhangqing begin to handle the other ingredients, the women realized they not only didn't understand, but couldn't comprehend it at all.

Even if Ye Zhangqing explained, the Barbarian God Tribe women would have to exert great effort to feel and think about it before they could slowly grasp a bit of the meaning.

Wait, this is still cooking, right? How can it feel harder than Xiūliàn?

"The way of Chúyì is indeed no simpler than Xiūliàn."

Faced with one question after another from the many women, Ye Zhangqing could only sigh.

I never thought they could learn it; you know, even the Human Race's Immortal Chefs who followed Ye Zhangqing to study could only pick up the superficial aspects.

It's not that Ye Zhangqing won't teach; it's that they just can't learn it.

Even if you understand it, you still need a lot of practice and continual accumulation of experience to improve bit by bit.

This is just like how Human Race cultivators practice cultivation techniques.

I can teach you, even point you toward the basics, but after getting started, if you want to break through to Minor Accomplishment and Major Accomplishment, you'll need your own effort.

This is an extremely lengthy process, entirely like painstaking effort.

Without putting in hard work, relying solely on the master's teaching, one will never achieve anything great in a lifetime.

In Ye Zhangqing's view, Chúyì is also like that.

I teach you the method, but whether you can master it and how much you can master ultimately depends entirely on your own effort.

There is no such thing that you can learn just by watching me teach it once.

So, regarding the helpless feelings of the Barbarian God Tribe women, Ye Zhangqing expressed understanding, but there was no better solution.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Barbarian God Tribe women also fell into silence.

That does seem to be the case; Ye Zhangqing's teaching holds nothing back, but this is only the basics—how much more you can learn afterward depends on your own effort.

Just.......... their Barbarian God Tribe's Xiūliàn isn't very diligent.

(Brothers, Happy New Year, wishing all brothers and sisters that in 2026 all wishes come true, everything goes smoothly!!!)
