Chapter 388: Success!
As Qin Jue sealed the dark cuisine, the strange smell finally dissipated, and the Xuanyi Mountain Sect gradually regained its calm.
In the past hundred years, this should be the first time the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had encountered such a “crisis”.
Who would have thought that the current Sacred Land of the Southern Land would almost be destroyed by a pot of dark cuisine?
“Hu, you scared me to death. I thought Uncle-Master was refining poison.”
Zhang Jichen heaved a sigh of relief.
“Yeah, yeah. Too terrifying.” Wu Ying chimed in.
Qin Jue :”…”
“…”
After sending Bai Ye and the others off, Qin Jue sat cross-legged on the blue stone. He flicked his finger and directly destroyed the pot of dark cuisine.
“Sorry, Master. I just wanted to cook for you. I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Killing Dao lowered her head. Her face flushed red and her expression extremely nervous.
“…”
Opening his mouth, Qin Jue didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
In any case, Killing Dao had indeed become like this because she wanted to cook for him. It was not intentional.
However… although Killing Dao had a good motive, judging from the situation just now, her food was undoubtedly more like poison. Qin Jue really couldn’t imagine himself eating that pot of dark cuisine.
“Ahem, you better not do it again. I’m afraid I won’t have the fortune to enjoy it.”
Qin Jue rolled his eyes.
Strictly speaking, Bai Ye was actually even crazier than Killing Dao. However, Bai Ye’s strength was limited. Even though he had already reached the Supreme Stage, the medicinal pills he refined could at most affect cultivators below the Legendary Stage.
On the other hand, Killing Dao was a genuine lower realm True G.o.d Stage expert. With a single move, the heavens and the earth would collapse. If she was careless, she could destroy the entire Southern Land and even the Spirit Central World.
How could Qin Jue let Killing Dao mess around like this?
“No!”
Unexpectedly, Killing Dao shook her head in refusal.
“I must make delicacies that satisfy Master!”
“…”
Without waiting for Qin Jue to speak, Killing Dao continued,
“Don’t worry, Master. I will set up a spirit formation in advance next time. This will definitely not happen again.”
“…”
After a long silence, Qin Jue helplessly said, “Alright, as you wish. If there are any accidents…”
“I will never take human form!” Killing Dao said firmly.
Killing Dao had even learned to steal Qin Jue’s lines.
“You said it yourself.”
Qin Jue nodded in satisfaction.
With Killing Dao’s cultivation, as long as she set up an enchantment in advance, there shouldn’t be any problems. As for the “delicacies” she made, Qin Jue wouldn’t eat them.
At this moment, s.p.a.ce distorted as Su Yan walked out in snow-white clothes.
“Eh? Senior, you’re awake so early today.”
Seeing Qin Jue sitting on the blue stone, Su Yan was slightly surprised.
Qin Jue :”…”
Qin Jue felt that he was probably the first person to be woken up by dark cuisine.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Su Yan asked carefully, “Senior, what happened?”
“Uh… nothing.”
Qin Jue didn’t tell Su Yan about Killing Dao, but changed the topic. “I was bored, so I wanted to take a look at the scenery.”
Hearing this, Killing Dao immediately revealed a grateful expression. Her master had finally not embarra.s.sed her in front of this vixen!
Killing Dao suddenly decided that she needed to learn how to cook well and replace this vixen!
In the next few days, Killing Dao had been secretly observing Su Yan’s actions and methods when she cooked. She also collected a large pile of books regarding delicacies from all over the Spirit Central World and read them seriously. She had already forgotten about her seclusion cultivation.
On this morning, Killing Dao believed that she had completely grasped the essence of cooking, so she captured another fiend beast and dismembered it to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.
As a precautionary measure, the first thing Killing Dao did was set up a barrier. Then, according to the process described in the book and the method she had learned from Su Yan, she placed the ingredients into the pot one by one. After learning the lesson from last time, she did not add any divine fruits.
As expected, Killing Dao went very smoothly this time. A few minutes later, a dense fragrance emitted from the pot.
“Hahaha, I succeeded!”
Killing Dao danced happily, wis.h.i.+ng she could inform everyone immediately.
“Wait, don’t be anxious. Don’t be anxious. There’s still the most important step.”
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Killing Dao condensed a strand of spirit energy on her fingertip, turned it into a rune, and fused it.
Killing Dao had read about this method in books. It could greatly increase the taste and energy of food. Even the most ordinary food could instantly become comparable to heavenly treasures.
Unfortunately, Killing Dao had underestimated her cultivation.
Bang!
In the next moment, the huge pot that Killing Dao had temporarily refined exploded, forming invisible ripples that spread out. Even s.p.a.ce could not withstand it and quickly collapsed!
Fortunately, Killing Dao had set up a barrier in advance and did not cause any damage to the surrounding environment. Otherwise, she would definitely be done for.
After witnessing this scene, Killing Dao was stunned on the spot. She was clearly about to succeed, so how could this be?
Could it be that… the spirit energy she injected was too powerful?
Thinking back carefully, Killing Dao felt that the problem should be with that strand of spirit energy rune and could only start over.
Not long after, Killing Dao carefully controlled her spirit energy in the same pot of fiend beast meat, afraid that it would explode again.
Killing Dao was a True G.o.d Stage expert after all, and her control of her spirit energy had already reached a perfect level. She quickly successfully controlled the spirit energy rune until it could be fused.
Buzz!
In an instant, a dazzling light lit up like the sun.
When the light disappeared, the entire pot of fiend beast meat sublimated, looking tender and delicious.
She had succeeded!
Killing Dao was overjoyed.
Her efforts over the past few days had not been in vain!
“Hehe, that vixen definitely can’t compare to me now.”
Killing Dao was extremely confident.
Through her observations over the past few days, Killing Dao was certain that Su Yan had only used the most ordinary method to cook. On the other hand, Killing Dao had flipped through all kinds of food books and grasped countless secret techniques, such as the spirit energy rune just now.
In terms of food alone, Killing Dao had already far surpa.s.sed Su Yan!
With this thought in mind, Killing Dao planned to compete with Su Yan. Unfortunately, Su Yan did not come today.
…
“Uh… did you make this?”
Looking at the fiend beast meat filled in the jade bowl in front of him, Qin Jue’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Of course!”
Killing Dao revealed an expectant expression. “Master, try it.”
“…”
Although the fiend beast meat in front of him did look fine, Qin Jue still felt that something was wrong. Was it an illusion?
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Jue picked up the jade bowl and took a sip of soup.
“How is it? Are you satisfied?” Killing Dao asked impatiently.
“Not bad.”
Until this moment, Qin Jue still had an unrealistic feeling. Killing Dao had actually made edible food that tasted very good!
Thinking of Bai Ye, Qin Jue couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Perhaps this was the difference in talent.
Although pill refinement was countless times more difficult than cooking,
“Yay!”
Killing Dao flew up excitedly and patted her chest heavily. She vowed, “From today onwards, I am Master’s personal chef!”
Qin Jue :”…”
