Chapter 245: Painfully Costly Spiritual Food
Hahahaha——
Late at night, a burst of laughter erupted from the dining room.
Ma Jingtian was laughing so hard that the corners of his mouth twitched.
"You say you cooked Spiritual Food? Don’t joke with me, little girl, you can’t even reach the stove, yet you want to cook Spiritual Food? You must know crafting a dish of Spiritual Food is even harder than Alchemy."
Ma Jingtian mocked Xin Lin with a mischievous look.
"If you can do it, then go ahead."
Xin Lin pouted her lips.
"I dare not. Spiritual Food, even the simplest dish, is worth a fortune. Ordinary Spiritual Practitioners can’t handle it; it’s feared that only Great Spirit Masters could cook it. In Longteng, only the Imperial Palace and some Imperial relatives have specialized personnel responsible. The utensils used in cooking Spiritual Food are also very particular; of course, you would fail using an iron pot."
Ma Jingtian had once tasted Spiritual Food.
That was when the old Gang Leader was still alive. Once, after a successful big deal in the gang, the old Gang Leader was in a good mood and took a few key members to the Zhen Xiu Pavilion in the city.
It was just five dishes, but it cost ten thousand taels of silver.
The wrong utensils?
The ingredients were all okay, so maybe it really was because of the utensils as Ma Jingtian said.
Xin Lin looked at the poor iron pot that she had "tortured" all night.
"Can’t use a pot to stir-fry, then what should be used?"
Xin Lin said unhappily.
"Since it’s only cookable by a Great Spirit Master, of course, you can’t use a normal pot. It’s said that in the Imperial Palace, the royal Spiritual Food Masters use Jade furnaces to cook Spiritual Food."
Ma Jingtian said, his face full of covetousness.
The taste of the Spiritual Food, needless to say, was extremely delicious, its medicinal effects were even more effective than Elixir Pills, and furthermore, Spiritual Food had no side effects, so its efficacy is even greater.
"Hey, where is she?"
Ma Jingtian just finished speaking and turned around, only to find Xin Lin had vanished.
Xin Lin had slipped back to her room in a flash.
On the bed, the Overlord Egg was still sleeping soundly.
Ma Jingtian’s words were a reminder to Xin Lin.
The reason the Spiritual Food was not successful was because of the utensils.
"Dan Wood Furnace."
"Spiritual Delicacies" from the Heaven-defying Book, presumably using the Dan Wood Furnace from the same Life Book would definitively lead to success.
Xin Lin found the Dan Wood Furnace in her room, her mind stirred, and the Heaven-defying Book also appeared before her eyes.
"Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly, it’s all up to you now!"
Xin Lin’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the Dan Wood Furnace.
"Life Book hint: Crafting a One-star Spiritual Delicacy requires spending 10 Heaven-defying Points."
On the Heaven-defying Book, a line of words emerged.
Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly, indeed a One-star Spiritual Delicacy.
Xin Lin almost spat out blood upon hearing this.
What, even cooking a dish needs Heaven-defying Points.
Fortunately, her little heart had become much stronger after several shocks.
"Life Book, isn’t 10 Heaven-defying Points too much? My Heaven-defying Points are not that abundant, can you give a discount?"
Xin Lin pleaded with a flattering face.
She had already figured out the temperament of the Life Book; it does not yield to force, as stubborn and foul as a stone in a cesspit.
"Life Book hint: The life master can also choose to use ten thousand silver taels instead of 10 Heaven-defying Points."
Ten thousand silver taels!
Xin Lin’s eyes almost popped out.
According to what Ma Jingtian said, the amount he spent eating at Zhenxiu Restaurant was just ten thousand silver taels.
"Life Book hint: The life master, please do not compare street food with the Spiritual Food produced by the Dan Wood Furnace."
Xin Lin was silently cursing when the Heaven-defying Book presented its rebuttal.
