Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 407 - 384:

Chen Xu pondered the most suitable way to trade in his mind.

In fact, he had quite a few ideas about it before.

It’s just that the specific implementation still needs to be considered based on the actual situation.

Among them, the most important point of consideration is the current situation regarding Spirit Chefs in this world.

Just as Chen Xu had heard some scattered news in Bailiu City before: For example, the Song Yan Dining Hall was recruiting Spiritual Cuisine Apprentices, and this matter was being discussed as a big deal.

Due to the existence of the Nine Nether Calamities in this world, it’s extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain pure, toxin-free food directly.

Therefore, the status of Spirit Chefs, who possess the ability to ward off calamities, is extremely high.

Not only do Spirit Chefs have a high status, but they are also quite rare among ordinary people.

It is said that all Eighth Grade and above sects must have at least one Spirit Chef.

If there is no Spirit Chef in the sect, and they cannot have their own ability to ward off calamities, then even if the sect is temporarily promoted to Eighth Grade, it will be demoted during the inspection period.

After all, if even food supplies rely on external transactions, how can the sect develop in the long run?

The importance of Spirit Chefs is self-evident.

So far, Chen Xu has been walking in this world for several days, but he still hasn’t seen the existence of a Spirit Chef in person.

There are indeed many inns in Bailiu City, but the chefs in those inns are usually not Spirit Chefs.

But ordinary mortal chefs!

Due to the special status of Spirit Chefs, even ordinary mortal chefs can often have a decent status in this world.

Mortal chefs can use specially designed stoves and rune flames to cook Ninth Grade Spirit Rice, including other spiritual materials that mortals can gather and process, all of which mortal chefs can cook.

Their pay is generous, they have no worries about food and drink, and unlike tenant farmers, they do not have to toil in the fields. Their descendants often have an advantage during Spiritual Cuisine Apprentice assessments.

However, the variety of food in this world is not considered very abundant.

At least, what Chen Xu saw in Bailiu City was not rich in variety.

Perhaps because Bailiu City is located in a remote area, in short, even the signature dishes in the inns of Bailiu City are like standardized formats—

It’s either some porridge, some soup, or some steamed or cold dish, etc.

In the end, it’s either boiled or steamed, and the cooking methods are relatively primitive and simple.

Bakeries are almost non-existent, and the available alcohol is only low-grade, brewed with Ninth Grade spiritual materials.

Even such low-grade Spirit Wine is relatively precious and is sold at high prices.

For ordinary lower-level cultivators, drinking daily is a luxury.

Chen Xu’s Bright Heart Gourd still contains a lot of Spirit Wine, which now seems to be a burden and cannot be easily used.

In contrast, the custom of tea drinking prevails in this world.

Since low-grade Spirit Tea can be directly planted, harvested, and processed by mortals, the Spirit Tea industry has been developed on a large scale.

Chen Xu, in a transparent state, walked around Bailiu City, observed various phenomena of this world, and indeed learned quite a bit.

From this, it can be seen that being cautious in the Spiritual Food trade is not excessive.

For this reason, even though Chen Xu purchased a lot of Eighth Grade Spirit Rice as well as Seventh Grade Spirit Rice at the Celestial Boat Commerce, he only used the Ninth Grade Spirit Rice for making the Rice Puffs and Crispy Rice Candy.

Even then, his small trial run left Ji Yang, the country bumpkin, stunned, drooling with excitement.

After tasting the Rice Puffs and Crispy Rice Candy given to him by Chen Xu, he remained in a state of excitement for quite some time.

Chen Xu made a plan for him.

After following the instructions, he let his hair fall down, and covered his face and exposed skin with soot.

This soot was provided by Chen Xu.

Then, Ji Yang maintained his enthusiastic state as he staggered out of his cabin.

Outside the cabin was a long corridor, and besides that were other rooms similar to Ji Yang’s, densely packed like a honeycomb.

It is said that at the top of this ship, on the sixth and seventh floors, there is even a Universe Mustard Seed Formation.

Step into it, and you would see vast expanses despite the confined space.

Quite different from the cramped and crowded lower floors.

Fortunately, Ji Yang is accustomed to the bottom-tier mess, with no burden, he walked out with a face full of excitement.

While walking, he kept muttering, "Spiritual Cuisine Apprentice? Is this the work of a Spiritual Cuisine Apprentice?

I don’t believe it; could it be a real Spirit Chef?"

With his hair disheveled and muttering, his extremely excited appearance seemed almost insane at a sudden glance.

Meanwhile, he held a tiny piece of Crispy Rice Candy debris in his hand, occasionally taking a small bite.

Even if it was just crumbs, it was faintly sweet and fragrant, extremely tempting.

All cultivators are sharp-eared and keen-eyed people, how could they overlook this?

Some cautious people avoided him from afar, minding their own business.

Yet there were also those with active thinking and daring, who suddenly turned their eyes and grabbed Ji Yang.

"Hey, little brother!"

At the corner of the third-floor staircase, an arm suddenly stretched out.

Ji Yang, caught off guard, was dragged into the corner, his eyes widened, surprised, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

The one pulling Ji Yang was a quick-eyed, sallow-faced middle-aged man. His cultivation wasn’t high, at the perfection of Qi Cultivation, yet enough to overpower Ji Yang.

Chuckling, he asked in a low voice, "Little brother, who is this Spiritual Cuisine Apprentice you mentioned? And what were you eating just now?"

Even a residue of Crispy Rice Candy was at the corner of Ji Yang’s mouth.

He feigned lunacy and replied foolishly, "A young man just now, claiming to be a Spiritual Cuisine Apprentice, said he was looking for a thousand people to taste test his Spiritual Food.

He gave me some pastries he made, wanting me to help sell them at a low price.

Heh, at such a low price, why should I sell them? Wouldn’t it be better to keep them for myself?"

The sallow-faced middle-aged man asked curiously, "What kind of pastries and how low the price? Little brother, let me be frank with you.

No matter how delicious the pastries, if you keep eating them yourself every day, you’ll eventually get tired of them.

Why don’t you sell them? Wouldn’t you make some money anyway?

Even though he said low price, you could slightly raise the price.

How about letting me have a taste?

If I find it tasty, even with the price raised, I won’t complain!"

He spoke temptingly.

Ji Yang hesitated, feeling tempted, and said, "He said his Spiritual Food is unique throughout Bailiu City and the surrounding Cangling Realm.

The Purple Jade Crisp is sold per piece at ten Qingfu Coins each, while the Purple Spirit Pearl is sold per bowl at ten Qingfu Coins as well.

If you want to taste, then, then give me twenty-two Qingfu Coins.

I, I’ll give you one piece of Purple Jade Crisp and a bowl of Purple Spirit Pearl."

So-called Purple Jade Crisp is actually Crispy Rice Candy.

And Purple Spirit Pearl is popcorn.
