However, if Wei Xiao Bei only used the Bi Fang Viscera with no other ingredients, then the dish would smell fishy. Even cooking wine would have a hard time suppressing the smell. This was something that he had experimented with back in the barracks.
Wei Xiao Bei finally decided to make some hotpot!
There was no doubt that hotpot was the best way to cook the Bi Fang Viscera. With the power of Mala, the stench of the viscera could be concealed. Moreover, he did not need to worry about having the ingredients be burnt by the high heat since there was water inside. The high heat would just be enough to boil the water.
After thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei quickly made himself busy.
For his current self, even if it was dishes that he had not made before, as long as he had seen others do it or seen it over the internet, then he could easily recreate them.
After all, the [Cooking] skill at greater heights allowed him to recreate any dish easily.
Soon, the hotpot let out a fragrant smell.
What made him disappointed was that the hotpot soup that he made was just rare quality.
The hotpot made the Ming Lun Envoy look on with curiosity. After swallowing the barbecued meat in just a few mouthfuls, she moved over and tried to grab the hotpot.
Wei Xiao Bei quickly pulled her back.
What kind of joke is she playing, who even uses their hand to directly grab the hotpot?
Let alone being burned from touching the hotpot, just the Ming Lun Envoy touching the food with her dirty hands would ruin the dish.
Moreover, some of the internal organs and other ingredients had not yet even been placed into the hotpot. The hotpot was only the soup stock at the moment. Only when the ingredients were placed inside and cooked properly could it be called an actual hotpot. Moreover, it needed to be eaten while drinking the soup, not just drinking it all down in one gulp.
“What are you doing?”
Ming Lun Envoy pouted and seethingly looked at Wei Xiao Bei. She lifted her right hand and made the indication that she was ready for a fight.
Wei Xiao Bei did not dare provoke her. In terms of strength, who knew what the Ming Lun Envoy’s creature rank was.
“Don’t rush, I haven’t finished yet.”
Wei Xiao Bei’s words had pacified the Ming Lun Envoy’s anger. She impatiently looked at the pot. The corners of her mouth unconsciously pulled up, making her look extremely cute.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not pay any attention to that cuteness. He placed the cut up internal organs into the pot. After boiling it, he then placed the seasoning inside and gave it to the Ming Lun Envoy.
The Ming Lun Envoy had already been teased by the fragrant smell of the hotpot for quite a while and was itching to get it. When the pot made it to her hands, a gust appeared and in an instant, the contents of the pot had been cleaned up. Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to check it with [Status Appraisal] to see what kind of dish it was, but he did not even have a chance to.
In the next moment, the Ming Lun Envoy who had learned how to eat hotpot did not need Wei Xiao Bei to wait on her. She grabbed the chopsticks and helped herself to the food.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei did not even have the chance to check with [Status Appraisal].
If he had carelessly thrown the [Status Appraisal] on the Ming Lun Envoy, he might just provoke a calamity.
There were a lot of internal organs in the Bi Fang, after all, it was not a small creature.
However, in front of the Ming Lun Envoy, this much food was not enough.
In just thirty minutes, the internal organs that Wei Xiao Bei had prepared had mostly disappeared.
This made Wei Xiao Bei speechless.
It must be known that in terms of weight, the Ming Lun Envoy had already eaten more than a hundred kilograms.
Wei Xiao Bei might be able to eat that much if he was starving, but it was impossible normally.
In the end, the Ming Lun Envoy’s stomach grew round, and only then did she let out a burp and lay down on a rock, appearing extremely cute.
After putting away the hotpot and other objects, he considered whether or not he should speak, but the Ming Lun Envoy lazily said, “Insignificant dishes could become immortal quality. This envoy truly never imagined it.”
Immortal?
Wei Xiao Bei immediately came to his senses. It appeared that some of the Bi Fang Viscera had become immortal quality after being dipped in the soup. Otherwise, the Ming Lun Envoy would not have said this.
“You are truly competent. This envoy will return to the court of heaven these few days and gain some promotions. This is all thanks to you. If you have anything you want, say it now. The next time you come to Bai Ta Hill, you will not see me anymore.”
Afterward, the Ming Lun Envoy’s expression became serious. Her tone became solemn. Wei Xiao Bei was surprised as he was not used to hearing it.
Returning to the court of heaven? Promotion?
Wei Xiao Bei was puzzled after hearing it, but these were not the main points. The most important one was that he might not see the Ming Lun Envoy anymore. This made him feel a bit depressed.
However, since she had said so, perhaps he could find a way to deal with Zhao Yun’s matter.
Wei Xiao Bei immediately explained the matter about the wound from True Sun Fire, looking to see if the Ming Lun Envoy had a method.
Hearing his words, the Ming Lun Envoy frowned. Wei Xiao Bei immediately y felt depressed as he thought that the Ming Lun Envoy might not have a way to deal with it.
After a long while, the Ming Lun Envoy slowly spoke, “Wounds from True Sun Fire can only be healed by someone from the Sun Palace, but how high was the position of the Emperor of the Sun Palace, Immortal King Xiao Dao. Even my master, the Land Emperor, does not have much of a friendly relationship with the Immortal King”
Sun Palace? Immortal King Xiao Dao?
What are these?
Wei Xiao Bei quickly searched for the information in his mind. He noticed that information about the deities relating to the sun that he knew was only the Dijun and the Golden Crow. He truly did not know these deities that she mentioned.
It seems that I need to search these on the internet once I return to the real world.
No matter what was said, the Ming Lun Envoy’s meaning was that she could not help much.
Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s expression become ugly, the Ming Lun Envoy felt a bit ashamed and said, “To thank you for this meal, I can help dispel the curse of misfortune on your body. If you are willing to give me ten more portions of immortal quality dishes, I am willing to give you another benefit, what do you think?”
Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit. He could only do as she says. The Ming Lun Envoy could not help him, yet had already eaten the hotpot. She couldn’t spit it back out. Going back to the issue at hand, ten immortal quality dishes would truly hurt him.
It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei currently only had twenty portions of immortal quality dishes.
Without waiting for Wei Xiao Bei to respond, the Ming Lun Envoy seemed to have guessed something as she let out a smile and added, “If you give me twenty immortal quality dishes, then I can help you upgrade your storage bag.”
This had aroused Wei Xiao Bei’s interest.
It must be known that the last time he exchanged the Small Holding Bag, he had ten cubic meters of space to use. However, he still felt that the Storage Bag’s space was still limited and was consistently filled up. There was a lot of meat that he could only leave behind.
Although twenty portions were all he had and creating immortal quality dishes was extremely hard, he would still be able to eventually make them.
On the other hand, finding a storage bag with a bigger space was much more difficult. When the Ming Lun Envoy returns to the court of heavens and obtains a job promotion, it would be difficult for him to find someone else to help him obtain a bigger storage bag.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster!
Wei Xiao Bei endured the pain and took out twenty portions of the Scarlet Pheasant Congee. He also took out ten Fried Tentacles and ten Stir-fried Black Beetles to see if he could gain some more benefits from the Ming Lun Envoy.
The Ming Lun Envoy’s expression became serious. She collected the twenty Scarlet Pheasant Congee first. Then she extended her hand and threw white powder at Wei Xiao Bei. The white powder let out a glaring white light, becoming a fog and enveloping him. Before Wei Xiao Bei could take a look at what the white fog was, the Ming Lun Envoy closed her hands, causing the white powder to fly back and condense in her palms.
Afterward, the Ming Lun Envoy took out a porcelain bottle and placed the powder inside, throwing it at Wei Xiao Bei.
When Wei Xiao Bei had just taken the bottle, the Ming Lun Envoy said, “This envoy has already removed the power of the curse on you and placed it into this bottle. If you need it, you can pour out the powder inside the bottle. Anyone struck by the powder will be afflicted with the curse.”
Hearing the Ming Lun Envoy’s words, Wei Xiao Bei understood that this was the added benefit of ten portions of immortal quality dishes. It meant that he could turn the curse into his hidden card.
Although it was not that useful against powerful people, just imagining his experience with the curse made his back sweat. The powder was simply suited for evil people.
Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei used his [Status Appraisal] on the bottle.
Information on the powder immediately appeared in his mind.
Name: Plague of Misfortune Powder (Rare)
Description: This item was made after the Ming Lun Envoy fully used her powers and the Powder of Gathering Fate to get rid of the Curse of Ten Thousand Spirits.
Effect 1: This item can be separated into five portions.
Effect 2: Plague of Misfortune. Every portion can give the target ten days of misfortune.
Effect 3: Strengthen. Because this item was merged with the Powder of Gathering Fate, the bad luck from the curse will strengthen.
……
Although Wei Xiao Bei had not used it, he understood just from the effects that anyone affected by the powder would not even be able to cry even if they wanted to.
The Powder of Gathering Fate should be some good stuff. Since it cost him ten portions of immortal quality dishes, the Ming Lun Envoy should not have much of it on her.
No matter what was said, the powder he obtained was worth it.
