Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 403: Overcome Every Difficult Pass

The stove’s level has increased, showcasing a much more advanced and high-end visual effect.

All the dishes used to be mixed together, and finding a specific dish ant digging through an overwhelming nu. Now, the interface is clearly divided into two main sections: one for mortals and another for cultivators.

Upon opening each section, there are further categories like staples, cold dishes, hot dishes, and so on.

Under the main categories, there are even more detailed classifications, like different cuisines, spicy or non-spicy options, allowing for quick selection of desired dishes.

"The cultivator’s section of the nu looks a bit pitiful..." Jiang Yuan opened the cultivator’s section and saw that most dishes appeared greyed out. Upon clicking, he found the reason was a lack of ingredients.

These include, but are not limited to, various demon beast ats, bones, special seasonings, and even Elixirs containing Spiritual Power.

Fortunately, there are only two people eating today, and the other is a small child who can’t eat much. To avoid waste, one dish and one soup with two servings of rice is just perfect!

Two servings of staples were made using Spirit Rice harvested from Level Two fields; additionally, he used Demon Pig at brought back from Carefree City and freshly harvested Spirit Fruit to make a sour and spicy Otherworld version of sweet and sour pork.

The Azure Bird loves fish, but previously, what he prepared for her were ordinary fish "caught" by Yun Shu during the day from their own river stretch.

Though they were large and delicious, they were just mortal items. No matter how well-prepared, the system’s stove bonus was needed to restore physical strength and energy.

Now, in the Fish Pond, it’s stocked with fish with Spiritual Energy caught from Crescent Lake, along with two special species of Spirit Fish as a system reward. They can harvest a few every two to three days.

With the stove’s level increased, it’s the perfect ti to select a more precious Spirit Fish to make a delicacy.

"Dinner ti!" Jiang Yuan didn’t have many choices, so with a Spirit Fish plus so ordinary salt, within a few seconds, a progress bar completed and he produced the simplest fish soup.

But just this bowl of fish soup made the Azure Bird, who hopped into the dining room, stare in amazent, drooling.

[Azure Bird’s Affection 100]

...

"Brother, you’re actually an Immortal Chef!" Her little face flushed with excitent. Taking a deep breath of the air infused with the aroma of food and gentle Spiritual Energy fusion, she sighed, "Just slling the aroma, I can tell it’s absolutely delicious!"

Immortal Chef? What’s that? A chef who cooks for Immortals?

Noticing the puzzled look on his face, the Azure Bird pointed to the aromatic, visually appealing dishes on the table and explained, "Everything in this world is a form of cultivation, including culinary art. So high-realm chefs who comprehend their own path are much more formidable than Alchemists!

After all, Elixirs, though precious, aren’t sothing every cultivator can ingest, but food is different.

Various fruits and vegetables containing Spiritual Power, when cooked ticulously, beco not only full of energy but also gentle and delicious. One al can easily absorb a lot of Spiritual Power, which is very popular since even a small cultivator who has just reached Foundation Establishnt can eat and drink freely!

However, it’s tough to advance as an Immortal Chef, with countless ordinary-talented ones around. Rare are those with insight like my brother!"

So that’s how it is!

Unexpectedly, the stove has quite a significant effect. Unfortunately, for him, these dishes rely restore more of the physical strength bar and life bar faster, unlike others who can harvest Spiritual Power from the deliciousness.

"I’ll send Zhile and others a ssage, asking them to bring back so more demon beast at when returning from Carefree City, so we can make more delicious dishes." Jiang Yuan thought, though the real key is to complete orders, accumulate materials, and upgrade the stove level.

Logically, after the ho reaches Level Five, all upgradable buildings should be upgraded to Level Five. However, materials are always lacking. Just a few materials were short for upgrading the stove, and it would cost a million Spirit Stones to make up for it, relying purely on spending money isn’t realistic.

"Mmm! Mmm! So delicious!"

While he was pondering, the Azure Bird was already eagerly digging into her bowl of food; her petal-like little mouth opened wide, reminiscent of a cute little girl in a cartoon.

"Azure Bird, you carry the Ice Phoenix bloodline, right? Can you reveal your true form?" He curiously asked, "I’ve always wondered, if a demon cultivator’s true form is large, when they transform into a human, is their appetite big too?"

Chewing the delicious food and absorbing the ever-flowing gentle Spiritual Energy, she mumbled, "I can’t do it now, only when I form a Golden Core can I let my brother see my beautiful feathers!

As for demon cultivators, it’s quite simple.

If they transform into human form, they just need to eat enough to maintain the current body; if they take their true form and want to be full, they’ll need enough food to sustain their large bodies. If they beco their beast form and eat so little, they’d starve.

So large demon cultivators capable of transformation prefer to beco human, eating more exquisite and delicious food to avoid waste. If they stay in beast form all the ti, there’s no room for fineness, and to sustain their body, they generally swallow demon beasts whole from the nu directly, and the taste..."

She didn’t elaborate, just scrunched her face to express that the texture wasn’t great.

Learned sothing new again!

This sister’s affection might be tough to increase, but consulting her for knowledge is quite useful.

Gulping down her food, the Azure Bird felt deeply comforted—Heavens are treating well!

Despite the rebirth issues and running into the end-of-the-era period, each hurdle was overco smoothly. Initially trapped under a broken bell and nearly suffocated, luckily, a good brother heard and ca to rescue;

Almost couldn’t escape from the Carefree Lotus, but he did take an interest in it and successfully closed the deal with so Immortal Jade;

After getting out, couldn’t leave the broken cave, but the good brother ca again!

Now, having established a sibling relationship with him, she’s enjoying dishes crafted by an Immortal Chef; living in a room brimming with Spiritual Energy; and having her brother provide the best combat space. Whenever she can’t defeat bizarre, polluted monsters, he’s always a call away.

During the end-of-the-era period, is there a better place to be in the world?

If brother hadn’t heard the noise and co to inspect, she’d have suffocated before even succeeding in her rebirth!

"After eating, will you cultivate at ho or continue fighting?" Jiang Yuan tidied the dishes and said, "I’m going to do so outreach, and I probably won’t be back until tomorrow morning."

With the token and specific coordinate position given by Elder Lin Yao, he needs to visit several sects tonight to deliver Immortal Peaches, with little ti and a heavy task ahead.

"What’s this outreach?" The Azure Bird burped, patted her round belly, and laughed, "I’m full, and I need to expend so Spiritual Power in battles, so I’ll continue my efforts in the Misty Miasma Ridge!

This ti I’ve learned my lesson, when encountering monsters I can’t defeat, I’ll flee to the purified areas you’ve secured first, so as not to keep asking for help and delay your important business, and once I advance in my realm, they’ll fear no more!"

Jiang Yuan sent her into the Misty Miasma Ridge instance and then organized the items in his Storage Bag, picked up the letter and token, and used a Teleportation Scroll to arrive directly at the Qingfeng Hall’s entrance!

There’s still an "Two Beams of Glory" side quest pinned, naturally, Qingfeng Hall is the first choice for mission completion.

"Open up, I’m here to spread warmth!" He cheekily exclaid, pretending to knock on the "door" of the white cloud high atop the mountain, then with the token in hand, closed his eyes and leaped off the cliff!
