Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 434 - 401

Chen Xu stood behind the stove, carefully observing the stoves in the Spiritual Meal Building.

These two stoves are both mobile, supported by four legs, each carved into the shape of twin fish, except for the wide counter and stove opening in the middle.

The twin fish are black and white, with array patterns inscribed in between.

Each stove has two burners in the middle, also in black and white.

Nearby, the array patterns loop around, joining head to tail, appearing both mysterious and ancient.

While Chen Xu was observing, Ye Ningzhen’s slightly proud voice rang out:

"Junior Brother Chen, this is the Yin-Yang Two-Apparatus Stove, a specialty of our Shenji Sect, crafted by the artifact refiners in our sect.

By placing any spiritual materials below the stove opening, it can automatically generate Yin-Yang Two-Apparatus Spiritual Flames through the array patterns.

The Yang flame is fiercely hot and explosive, with great firepower, able to steam and stir-fry, quickly gathering wok energy to lock in the essence of the ingredients.

The Yin flame contains spiritual qi, suitable for slow cooking, better eliciting the true nature of ingredients.

If this Yin-Yang Two-Apparatus Stove were sold outside, we wouldn’t sell it for less than two thousand Qi Radiance Pills.

But within our Shenji Sect, this stove is standard in the Spiritual Meal Building.

Junior Brother Chen, you only need to inject True Yuan into the central array pattern beside the stove, allowing the True Yuan to circulate for a round, driving away the aura of the previous spirit chef, then you can initially control the stove.

Give it a try and see if the stove suits your hand.

Oh, Junior Brother Zhou, go help Brother Chen tidy up these two stoves."

After speaking, she winked at Zhou Hou.

Zhou Hou quickly stepped up, moving the two plates of spiritual food previously placed on the stove to the side. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Yes, earlier, Zhang and Liu left in such a hurry that the spiritual food they made was still left on their respective stoves.

Now Zhou Hou has removed the two spiritual foods, but he left the various seasonings and ingredients originally on the stove.

These ingredients were from the Spiritual Meal Building to begin with, and could be considered sect communal resources.

The spirit chefs in the sect have a certain allocation quota every day, and more resources can be allocated if a large banquet is to be prepared.

The details of these things aren’t necessary to elaborate.

It’s enough to say that after Zhou Hou removed the two plates of spiritual food, he cheerfully set them before Ge Xing.

He whispered, "Uncle Ge, please eat. Those two guys may be annoying, but there’s nothing wrong with what they made, we shouldn’t let it go to waste."

Ge Xing was at a loss, as he wasn’t in the mood to eat anything right now.

He waved his hand, shooing Zhou Hou away as if swatting at flies.

Zhou Hou muttered a low "Ouch," quickly assuming a posture as though beaten, then moved the food to Ye Ningzhen’s side.

Ye Ningzhen swallowed; she was actually tempted.

But after all, in front of Ge Xing, and with new disciples in the sect undergoing testing, Ye Ningzhen still had to maintain some decorum.

So she discreetly picked a green calyx plum blossom cake, eating it as if sneaking a taste, while watching Chen Xu handle the ingredients in front of him.

Mm, watching while eating, it had a unique savor.

Ah, this moment in life, it calls for a pot of spirit tea to do it justice.

Ye Ningzhen felt some anticipation, as well as slight worry.

Chen Xu’s age and cultivation couldn’t be faked, as he had been tested by the Spiritual Disc Bureau, whose test columns were professional in this regard.

Ye Ningzhen’s only worry was Chen Xu’s spirit chef ability.

After all, Chen Xu claimed to have a spirit chef talent, but this was merely his own assertion.

Who knows what extent his talent could actually reach?

Or perhaps, it shouldn’t be about talent, but directly about his spirit chef cooking skills—

Ultimately, talent must manifest through culinary skills; if Chen Xu’s so-called skills are just basic tricks from outside, then...

Ye Ningzhen would be embarrassed in front of Ge Xing.

However, Ye Ningzhen always trusted her intuition. She quickly cast aside her small worries and felt a surge of greater anticipation.

Chen Xu chose three kinds of ingredients.

Firstly, the Seventh Grade Spirit Rice, Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice;

Secondly, a Ninth Grade Spiritual Material, Bilu Bean;

Thirdly, also a Ninth Grade Spiritual Material, Ice Crystal Fruit.

These three spiritual materials, Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice being the staple, might be used when making certain pastries.

But because Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice is inherently coarse, though rich in spiritual qi, its texture is somewhat dry and tough—to put it bluntly, like chewing wood chips—which is why spirit chefs dislike using it.

If a meal at the spirit dining includes Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice as the main course, the disciples qualified to eat it often have mixed feelings.

There’s no need to elaborate on the dislike.

As for "love," it is after all Seventh Grade Spirit Rice, abundantly filled with spiritual qi, capable of swiftly enhancing a cultivator’s True Yuan operation speed, making it an excellent cultivation supplement.

Its value is enough to overshadow its coarse and unsatisfactory texture.

Seeing Chen Xu take the Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice, Ye Ningzhen momentarily found the green calyx plum blossom cake she was eating less fragrant.

She tutted inwardly, her face inadvertently showing a slight frown.

If Junior Brother Chen used this to cook rice, would she still eat the Spirit Rice dish when it’s done?

Ah, the choice here is indeed difficult.

Ye Ningzhen’s expression was conflicted, yet she didn’t notice that Ge Xing, originally indifferent beside her, now had slightly brightened eyes.

Ge Xing’s focus was entirely different from Ye Ningzhen’s.

Ye Ningzhen considered the palatability of Cloud-patterned Spirit Rice, while Ge Xing noticed that Chen Xu dared to choose Seventh Grade Spiritual Materials!

It’s important to know that the higher the grade of spiritual materials, the greater the requirement for spirit chefs to eliminate impurities.
