God of Cuisine Reborn: I Became Invincible by Cooking

Chapter 45 – Effect enhancement

Her body trembled uncontrollably, fueled by anger. Staring at the divorce letter in her hand, He Lu was driven to madness.

She couldn't believe it, nor could she accept it. The final outcome was that she was divorced with just a piece of paper.

Suddenly, she looked up at Ye Changqing, who wore a calm expression. He Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Changqing, fine, you're impressive. Today's humiliation, in the future I will..."

"Shut up."

He Lu would not let today's humiliation go unavenged, but before she could finish her sentence, Yu Li interrupted her.

Yu Li's gaze was icy as she looked at He Lu. "Isn't it embarrassing enough? Let's go."

Given the current situation, still thinking of making threats? Do you not want to leave the Dao Yi Sect peacefully?

When He Lu was speaking, Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and even Hongzun's expressions turned cold, as if they were ready to take action.

Making threats at this moment was utterly foolish. Even if there was hatred in the heart, it should be suppressed.

As she spoke, Yu Li stood up and bowed to the Second Elder and Third Elder, as well as Hongzun, saying, "In that case, I shall take my leave."

"Very well, Junior Sister, take care on your way."

Seeing this, the Second Elder nodded in response, not knowing what else to say. Hearing this, Yu Li didn't hesitate and immediately left with He Lu and the other disciples of the Luoxia Sect, departing swiftly.

As Yu Li and the others left, Hongzun returned to his drunken demeanor, lazily looking at the Second and Third Elders, saying, "Senior Brothers, I'm leaving."

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he left the Enforcement Hall with Ye Changqing and the others.

Watching Hongzun's departing figure, both the Second and Third Elders shook their heads with a wry smile.

"This incident, Yu Li probably won't let it go easily."

"Alas, at least it didn't escalate too much. Some humiliation won't affect the overall situation."

Yu Li surely harbored resentment, but it shouldn't have too much impact on the Luoxia Sect and Dao Yi Sect, as ultimately, the disciples of the Luoxia Sect didn't suffer any substantial harm.

The Second Elder was also troubled but had no good solution, getting frustrated whenever the Divine Sword Peak was mentioned.

However, that Ye Changqing seemed to be the cause of both incidents. A menial disciple, yet Hongzun valued him so much? Truly strange.

The Second Elder furrowed his brow, lost in thought.

On the other side, safely returning to the kitchen of the Divine Sword Peak, it was already past meal time, yet many disciples and stewards were still waiting outside.

Seeing Ye Changqing return, the disciples greeted him warmly.

After responding to each of them, Ye Changqing said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, please wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon."

"Junior Brother Changqing, it's fine to take a rest."

"Indeed, we're not in a hurry."

Though their mouths were already watering, they claimed not to be in a rush. Seeing this, Ye Changqing chuckled silently and turned to the kitchen to start preparing.

There wasn't much to do, just reheating the dishes.

Soon, dinner was ready, and chaos ensued as disciples scrambled for a spot, fighting fiercely.

The food for a thousand people was quickly snatched up. Those who secured a spot ate with great enjoyment, while those who didn't pounded their chests in frustration, determined to succeed next time.

After dinner, everyone left, and Ye Changqing habitually opened his personal panel.

[Host: Ye Changqing.]

[Identity: Menial Disciple of Dao Yi Sect.]

[Cultivation Level: Meridian Surge Realm Beginner (165/100000)]

[Techniques: Mind-Illumination Technique, Perfected (10000/10000)]

[Skills: Shadow Blade, Mastered (4600/10000)]

[Seven Star Steps, Mastered (3924/10000)]

[Spirit Wall, Small Accomplishment (1354/30000)]

[Prestige: Reputation Emerging.]

[Talent: Mid-grade Intermediate (33120/50000)]

[Constitution: Mid-grade Intermediate (41562/50000)]

[Comprehension: High-grade Intermediate (69978/100000)]

His cultivation level had directly broken through to the Meridian Surge Realm beginner stage. He could clearly feel the Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Energy pouring into his meridians, constantly washing away impurities.

Before cultivation practice, a cultivator's meridians are generally closed, except for some prodigies with special physiques.

Therefore, the main task of the Meridian Surge Realm is to use the Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Energy to continuously cleanse the meridians, washing out the impurities within.

Only when the meridians are fully opened, and after breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, forming a Golden Elixir within, can spiritual power flow freely within the body.

Otherwise, if the meridians are blocked, spiritual power cannot form a complete cycle within the body, making even ordinary cultivation practice extremely difficult, let alone forming a core.

Moreover, the purer and more unobstructed the meridians, the faster the flow of spiritual power. Besides cultivation practice, during combat, the casting of spells becomes faster and more powerful. Thus, the Meridian Surge Realm is a crucial process.

Even those prodigies with special physiques, whose meridians are naturally unobstructed, will try every means to make their meridians stronger and wider at this stage.

After experiencing the changes brought by the breakthrough, he realized that the Mind-Illumination Technique was no longer of much use at the Meridian Surge Realm, as it was merely a Qi Perception Realm technique.

"It seems I need to ask the Peak Master for a Meridian Surge Realm technique."

For cultivators, each major realm has corresponding techniques.

There was no need to worry about the technique. His attention returned to the system, and he discovered that the system had provided a notification.

[Host's cultivation level breakthrough, dish effects enhanced.]

The system-rewarded dishes provide certain benefits to cultivators, and as Ye Changqing advances, the effects of the dishes are enhanced.

For example, now that Ye Changqing is at the Meridian Surge Realm beginner stage, the previous dishes, like braised noodles, can slightly enhance physique.

But now, the enhancement effect on physique has been strengthened, according to the system's calculation, it's more than double the previous effect.

Simply put, the previous enhancement effect might not have been of much help to Body Refinement Realm disciples, but now, it's equivalent to a Body Refinement Pill.

A bowl of braised noodles equates to a Body Refinement Pill, such an enhancement is terrifying, and it can continue to improve in the future.

Satisfied, he nodded. Not bad. Since his cultivation level had broken through, he naturally had to reward himself today. After a comfortable medicinal bath, Ye Changqing went to bed early.

He didn't give the day's events a second thought, but Yu Li, He Lu, and the others, who were already far from the Dao Yi Sect, were resting in a small town they passed by.

Although it was late at night, He Lu had no intention of sleeping.

Standing by the window with a frosty expression, her gaze was cold as she looked in the direction of the Dao Yi Sect, clenching her teeth.

"Ye Changqing, I, He Lu, will definitely repay today's humiliation. During the Four Sect Competition, I won't hold back. Just you wait."

He Lu would not forget today's disgrace and vowed to personally return it. She wanted to make Ye Changqing regret today's decision.
