Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Li Jiaojiao’s Culinary Skills Advance, Stone Spirit Speaks Human Language
The next morning at dawn.
Ye Feng woke up early to find Li Jiaojiao cooking.
“You’re studying new dishes this early?”
Ye Feng walked into the kitchen, drawn by the enticing aroma of the meat and the sounds of stirring in the pot, almost salivating.
“Yes!”
Li Jiaojiao stirred earnestly, then tapped Wang Ping’an’s head with the back of her fingers, “Brother Wang, hurry up and increase the heat!”
“Coming right up!”
Wang Ping’an redoubled his efforts, and his hands, performing the Fiery Cloud Palm, became hotter and hotter.
Sizzle!
The oil in the wok made an even more intense sound.
Li Jiaojiao continued to stir attentively.
From time to time, she added seasoning, and then channeled her True Yuan into the spatula, which in turn infused the food.
“Not bad at all!”
Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
This method of cooking was extremely ingenious.
First, it not only brought out the nutrients inherent in the ingredients but also absorbed the chef’s vital energy, doubling the effect.
Soon, the dish was ready.
On the exquisite ceramic plate was a dish of chicken stir-fried with tomatoes.
“Mmm, it smells good!”
Ye Feng smelled the aroma and found that a rich spiritual essence entered his body through his nose, then spread out and merged into every limb.
Even just smelling it could extend a mortal’s life.
He activated his Eye of Insight.
[Spirit Dish: Tomato Stir-Fried Chicken]
[Grade: Origin Level]
[Note: Cooked with a hundred-year-old monster chicken and decade-old spiritual Qing tomatoes, with eighteen kinds of seasonings added. Delicious to taste, eating an entire plate can increase the cultivation level of someone in the Element Gathering Realm by half a year.]
“Yikes!”
Ye Feng’s eyes widened.
Half a year’s worth of cultivation?
If a cultivator in the Element Gathering Realm were to eat this dish every day, in not too long, they would be able to advance their realm.
“Jiaojiao, how many dishes like this can you make every day?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.
Li Jiaojiao tilted her head towards the ceiling, thought for a bit, prodded her chin with her finger, and said, “As long as my True Yuan is endless, I can keep cooking non-stop.”
Ye Feng was overjoyed.
He asked, “Then, when you’re cooking, do you feel an improvement in your cultivation level?”
Li Jiaojiao was taken aback.
After thinking it over carefully, she said, “I’ve found that after I come up with a new stir-frying method, every time I finish cooking and replenish my True Yuan, my cultivation really does seem to improve a bit.”
“Does that mean I can improve my cultivation while cooking without missing out on either?”
At this, Li Jiaojiao became excited.
“Right, that’s precisely it,” Ye Feng agreed.
That was exactly his line of thought.
Similar to training in the Gravity Zone where the consumption of vital energy spikes and the body faces immense pressure.
Once one finishes training in the Gravity Zone, they feel relaxed and absorb a great deal of vital energy, leading to improved cultivation.
It was the same with Li Jiaojiao’s cooking.
As she constantly consumed her vital energy and focused on cooking, her spirit, energy, and essence were all worn down.
Once she finished cooking and began to recover, the effect could be just as significant as training in the Gravity Zone.
Over time, her cultivation level would naturally increase.
Ye Feng extended his hand and continually formed hand seals.
He was using the Heart of Wisdom to deduce.
After a moment.
He smiled at Li Jiaojiao, “Well done, the optimal number of dishes you should cook each day is a hundred. Any more than that and it would diminish the benefits, so keep it under a hundred daily.”
“Really?” Li Jiaojiao was a bit skeptical.
Ye Feng’s expression suddenly turned serious, “What, you don’t believe me?”
Li Jiaojiao scratched her nose, giggling, “How could I not believe Sect Master Uncle?”
Ye Feng extended his hand and gave her a pat on the head.
“Keep up with your cultivation!”
With that, he left the kitchen, stopped at the door, turned back to look at Li Jiaojiao, and said, “I believe that in the future, you will become a Divine-level Spirit Chef of a whole new generation!”
“Divine-level Spirit Chef?”
A seed of aspiration quietly took root in Li Jiaojiao at that moment.
…
Near the Spirit Gathering Tower.
Ye Feng sat on the exclusive lapis stone of the Sect Master.
“`
“Little Stone, how are you feeling today?”
After infusing three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy into the Stone Spirit, he then asked leisurely.
“So comfortable!”
The Stone Spirit sent out warm waves of intent.
Ye Feng smiled, “How about I summon a rain for you to take a bath?”
“A bath, what is that?” The Stone Spirit didn’t understand.
Ye Feng suddenly jumped down from the Lapis Stone, took out the Mini Banana Palm Fan, and waved it three times towards the stone.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind arrived, bringing with it strands of Spirit Rain, dousing the surface of the Lapis Stone and eliciting waves of comfort from it.
“So this is what a bath is!”
The Stone Spirit said.
This time, it genuinely made a sound, rather than just transmitting waves of intent.
“Eh!”
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, “Little Stone, you can talk now?”
“Can do!” The Stone Spirit continued to make sounds, causing Ye Feng’s face to light up with a smile.
“Looks like you’re progressing quickly in your cultivation. From now on, I’ll infuse you with Wind Element Spirit Energy every day. When your day comes to emerge, you’ll definitely dazzle everyone.”
Ye Feng said with a laugh, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky.
Now, the Stone Spirit was already comparable to the third layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
But, it hadn’t yet emerged.
Ye Feng believed that as long as he nourished the Stone Spirit with Wind Element Spirit Energy every day, once it emerged, it would certainly exhibit tremendous strength.
Element Gathering Realm Peak?
Spirit Sea Realm?
Or perhaps, innately divine?
Without using the Heart of Wisdom, even Ye Feng couldn’t deduce the outcome.
Ye Feng extended his hand.
He was ready to use the Heart of Wisdom to deduce the potential of the Stone Spirit.
But after thinking it over, he gave up.
Some things don’t need deduction.
Because, it’s the unknown that sparks one’s desire and curiosity, making things more interesting.
If everything is known, then it’s very boring.
With this thought, Ye Feng shook the Mini Banana Palm Fan and walked around within the bounds of the Misty Sect.
Wherever he passed, disciples respectfully greeted him.
“Greetings to the Sect Leader!”
The disciples looked at Ye Feng with reverence, their cultivation passion inflamed.
“Cultivate diligently.”
Ye Feng patted these Second-generation Disciples and gave on-the-spot instructions on cultivation and spells, benefiting them immensely.
In awe of the Great Master of Magic Ye Feng, the disciples admired him even more.
Before long.
Ye Feng visited Luosha City and instructed the Heiluocha Members.
…
Tianji Pavilion.
The Paper Fan Young Master sat in the chief seat.
“Pavilion Master, any updates?”
Xiao Fangu and Zhu Yongfu both asked.
The Paper Fan Young Master ended his deductions, saying, “I have just consulted the divination and found that Ye Feng seems quite ordinary, as if he really has no cultivation level.”
“Really?”
Xiao Fangu and Zhu Yongfu became excited.
“Yes, it should be so.” The Paper Fan Young Master stood up and walked back and forth within the Tianji Pavilion.
In fact.
He had just attempted to deduce information about Ye Feng but found him to be like a breath of air, impossible to discern anything about.
This situation could only mean one of two things.
One, Ye Feng had reached an incredible state of cultivation, beyond the reach of deduction.
Two, Ye Feng was just a mortal.
The Paper Fan Young Master pondered and felt that the second possibility was more likely.
After all, having been struck by the Ancestral Tree Demon’s Split Soul’s Divine Skill “Sacrifice the Body to Embrace the Dao, Perish Together,” it is improbable for anyone in the Void Break Realm to emerge unscathed, let alone someone who is just Half-step Void Break.
For Ye Feng to be alive was fortunate enough.
“Now that Ye Feng is crippled, should we not…” Zhu Yongfu’s smile gradually became twisted.
“Do not!”
The Paper Fan Young Master cut off Zhu Yongfu’s train of thought, “The Misty Sect has the backing of two great ancestors of the Void Break Realm and also has Hu Feifei. We must not act rashly for now.”
“Then what shall we do?” Zhu Yongfu was not content.
“Continue to lie low and await our opportunity.” The Paper Fan Young Master lightly shook his Feather Fan, gazing at the vast starry sky, “Our reinforcements are nearing…”
