Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Feed is Serious, Who Knows About the People

“Alright, I know your grandpa is the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect, your dad is the Deputy Sect Master, and your mom is an Elder. Everyone in your family is at the Element Gathering Realm except for you,” Pang Haiyun said with a speechless expression.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaren lowered her head, “But what use is that? When I look down, all I see are my toes, while little fatty can see a whole different view. You have no idea how envious I am of you.”
Pang Haiyun and Ye Feng were almost petrified.
“Ahem! Let’s not talk about this. Do you have a way to process the flesh and blood of demonic beasts?” Ye Feng interrupted their conversation and asked.
Xie Jiaren touched the tip of her nose with her finger and then, with hands on her hips and a proud look on her face, she said:
“Of course, our Spirit Beast Sect has an incomplete ancient method. After I personally improved it, it became a very practical method for making Spirit Beast Feed, using raw materials including demonic beast flesh and blood, spiritual medicine, and so on…”
When it came to her business, Xie Jiaren instantly switched from being frivolous to being utterly serious.
“Ahem!”
A bout of coughing came from a distant thatched hut, interrupting Xie Jiaren’s speech.
Xie Jiaren ignored the coughing Elder from the sub-sect and continued, “Among these, the flesh and blood of demonic beasts contain bloodlines, which are indispensable for the advancement of spiritual beasts.”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem!”
The sub-sect Elder kept coughing loudly.
Xie Jiaren rolled her eyes and took off her boots, hurling them towards the thatched hut in the center of the valley, “What are you coughing for? Can’t you let me speak?”
Upon hearing this, the sub-sect Elder was so angry he was about to explode.
Damn it! The Elder here is trying to stop you from blurting out the sect’s secrets, okay? If you keep talking like this, outsiders will get their hands on the recipe.
However, the sub-sect Elder only complained in his mind, not daring to speak out. After all, the method for making Spirit Beast Feed was something Xie Jiaren had researched on her own, and not even the Sect Master of the Spirit Beast Sect dared to say much about it.
Ye Feng, seeing how Xie Jiaren brazenly tossed her boots at an Element Gathering Realm Elder, was once again stunned.
“This person isn’t just eccentric, she’s supreme grade!” Ye Feng thought to himself, then addressed Xie Jiaren, “Please continue.”
Xie Jiaren nodded, counting on her fingers as she explained, “Although the bloodline power contained in demonic beast flesh is plentiful, it’s mostly very violent. It needs to be mixed with spiritual medicine to become milder and suitable for absorption. The raw materials used are also quite varied, including star anise, cumin, onions, ginger, garlic…”
Ye Feng became more and more confused as he listened, “Hold on, hold on, star anise and cumin? Aren’t those for cooking?”
Xie Jiaren seriously said, “It’s about cooking for the spiritual beasts, and it must taste good this way. Of course, you need to add Spirit Ginseng, Vitality Grass, Snow Melting Fruit, and other spiritual medicines. After mixing well, cook it with Spiritual Liquid, crush it into shape, and finally chop it up, and it can become Spirit Beast Feed.”
“Oh, I see it’s quite complicated,” Ye Feng finally understood.
Pang Haiyun stood aside listening, but since she really wasn’t interested in Spirit Beast Feed, it went in one ear and out the other, remembering nothing.
“I get what materials are needed, but how do you calculate the proportions?” Ye Feng asked.
Simply knowing the materials wasn’t enough.
It’s like steelmaking; the ratio of iron to carbon varies, and so does the quality of the steel. The same goes for cooking, the amount of oil, salt, and seasonings must be right to achieve the best flavor.
Xie Jiaren immediately held out her hand, “The ratios are recorded in the recipe, and for this recipe, I’m selling it for one hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes widened as he thought to himself that the price was exorbitant – not even selling him would cover the cost!
The nearly exploding Elder inside the hut squinted through the window, thinking to himself that although Xie Jiaren was usually careless and loved to cause trouble, she was very clear-headed at crucial moments, knowing that the recipe couldn’t be given away for free. With that realization, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the change in Ye Feng’s expression, Xie Jiaren teasingly laughed, “Do you think it’s too expensive? If you don’t want to buy the recipe, our Spirit Beast Sect can help with the processing, just charging a processing fee.”
Ye Feng’s eyes flickered, feeling that the second option was better.
With the current level of the Misty Sect, even if they got the recipe, they might not be able to produce it. It would be better to hand over the demonic beast flesh and blood he had, let Xie Jiaren process it, and then bring it back to Misty Peak.
“I choose to have it processed by you, but I want to see the quality of the Spirit Beast Feed you make first, and we’ll have to renegotiate the price,” Ye Feng agreed.
“Sure thing, follow me!” Xie Jiaren led the way.
Watching the trio enter a nearby large stone hall, the sub-sect Elder closed the window and grumbled to himself, “I can’t stay here any longer, or one day that girl will drive me to my death. I have to apply to the Sect Master as soon as possible to be transferred out of here…”
In the stone hall.
Ye Feng held some colorful feed, took a sniff, and found that it indeed had the aroma of star anise and cumin. The texture was just right, neither soft nor hard, and even he was tempted to take a bite.
Ye Feng asked, “How are these sold?”
“The main ingredients in these feeds are the flesh and blood of lower rank demon soldiers, not expensive, one lower grade spirit stone for a hundred pounds,” Xie Jiaren explained.
“That’s quite cheap,” mumbled Ye Feng.
Hearing this, Xie Jiaren burst into laughter and said, “Filled with water, of course they’re sold cheaply … oops, sorry, my slip of tongue!”
Ye Feng and Pang Haiyun exchanged glances, utterly speechless.
The Elder from the neighboring straw hut’s branch once again collapsed to the ground in anger and swore that one should never hold any expectations for Xie Jiaren.
Ye Feng picked up a bag of spirit beast feed and used his Spirit Eyes to see that it contained quite a bit of spiritual energy; it seemed the feed was truly legitimate. Unfortunately, whether Xie Jiaren, who produced the feed, was legitimate was another question.
With a “bang,”
Ye Feng dropped thousands of pounds of demonic beast flesh onto the ground.
Normally, after slaying a demonic beast, only the claws, demon core, and fangs were valuable, while the flesh was mostly discarded and not highly valued.
Therefore, Ye Feng wasn’t concerned about Xie Jiaren running off with the demonic beast flesh; he was handing over thousands of pounds in one go.
“Wow! This is all high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast flesh. Sect Master Ye, you must have killed them all, right? You’re so fierce, I really like that!” Xie Jiaren’s eyes gleamed.
Ye Feng felt an urge to run away and asked, “About how long will it take to pick up, and how will the cost be calculated?”
“This is high-rank demon soldier level demonic beast flesh. Its quality and value are higher, so after making it into spirit beast feed, one spirit stone can only buy ten pounds. Since I also have to purchase spiritual medicine as an ingredient, the processing fee will be calculated as one-fourth of the selling price,” Xie Jiaren said with a smile.
“Okay,” agreed Ye Feng.
Shortly after, Ye Feng watched the spiritual beasts in the valley eat the feed. He noticed that as the feed was eaten, the beasts would lie down to sleep, digesting the bloodline within, and their presence grew increasingly powerful.
“The effect is indeed quite good,” Ye Feng silently nodded.
Then, Ye Feng spent ten spirit stones to buy a thousand pounds of lower grade feed. He declined Xie Jiaren’s invitation to stay for lunch with a choice of words and left Pang Haiyun behind as he took off first.
“Sect Master Ye really doesn’t appreciate romance. I wanted to discuss life philosophy with you a bit more!” Xie Jiaren stood on top of a huge elephant’s head, waving reluctantly at Ye Feng.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s speed increased several fold.
“Jiaren, you’re really something, even making fun of Sect Master Ye. But it’s just sweet talk from you. When it’s time for you to go on a blind date, you always find excuses to bail,” Pang Haiyun rolled her eyes and said.
Xie Jiaren put her hands on her hips, “Sweet talk is enough for me, why should I take action? Besides, this miss hasn’t had enough fun yet. In the future, I’m going to be the woman of the Sea King!”
Pang Haiyun was at a loss for words.
“Xie Jiaren, you truly infuriate this old man! From now on, you can guard this branch alone. This Elder is going back to the Sect right now!”
The branch Elder, upon hearing Xie Jiaren’s outrageous words, could not stay any longer. He burst through the straw hut’s roof and flew away on a large white crane.
“Have a good journey, dear guest!” Xie Jiaren waved at the branch Elder, who was so furious he almost fell off the back of the white crane.
Pang Haiyun looked down at Xie Jiaren’s flat front and thought to herself that although she harbored the heart of being the Sea King’s woman, she unfortunately didn’t have the assets for it!
Ye Feng, with metallic boots on his feet, pushed the power of the Heroic Spirit to its limits, crossing a hundred meters in a blink, thrilling him.
Before long, he returned to Misty Peak.
“Brother Flathead, you try these feeds first,” Ye Feng first took out ten pounds of spirit beast feed and set it in a dog bowl, grinning mischievously.
The rich aroma wafted out, instantly drawing the attention of the spiritual beasts and disciples.
