"Okay, hurry up and get to work, you promised me!"
Nangong Zhu raised his hand and called out the body of the iron tiger shark.
Ling Xiao nodded and stepped forward, took out the jade embroidery knife and said, "Tell me which parts are delicious."
What Nangong Zhu just said was true. The two did join forces to slay the demon, even if the target was just a corpse.
A long while.
The huge iron tiger shark had been dismembered. Ling Xiao took out the three parts that contained the most spiritual energy: the fin, tail, and head, and burned the rest cleanly.
Then, he worked on the ingredients without any hesitation.
Ling Xiao was quite excited to cook such a huge fish for the first time. He thought quickly and decided on the cooking method based on his past experience.
Nangong Zhu watched closely, and saw Ling Xiao taking out various seasonings from the storage bag from time to time, adding them to the fish, marinating, rinsing or baking, with complicated techniques and extremely skillful movements. , seems to have everything in mind.
She couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take?"
Got no answer.
Nangong Zhu felt bored, so she simply walked aside and sat cross-legged to practice.
"Okay, call me!"
Ling Xiao still didn't answer, just focusing on processing the ingredients in front of him.
About half an hour passed.
He put the ingredients aside, pondered for a moment, and raised his hand to summon the cooking utensils.
These cooking utensils were newly bought by him in Huqi Mountain. They come from the cooking system of Yunhuang Continent. Many of the tools are so unique that even Ling Xiao was impressed.
Make a fire and cook!
Shark's fin is naturally cooked in soup. Ling Xiao took inspiration from Babao Linglong Soup, added some other types of ingredients, and cooked it slowly.
The first time he cooked it, Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless. He didn't use all the shark fin, but only took a small part to test the recipe.
The tender fish tail is supplemented with a variety of spiritual grass foam and fried over a slow fire.
Fish head, chopped pepper!
He seems to have three heads and six arms in front of the stove, taking care of three dishes at the same time but always in an orderly manner.
Tens of minutes later.
The three dishes came out one after another.
In front of the stove, the aroma was already overflowing, and there was also Nangong Zhu's head lying there with eager eyes.
The rich aroma whetted her appetite, so how could she still think about practicing?
If you practice it forcefully, you might become obsessed with it!
"Are you okay?" she asked for the 22nd time.
"Open your mouth." Ling Xiao had no choice but to pick up a piece of pan-fried fish tail.
She opened her mouth obediently, like a puppy begging for food.
"Mmm, delicious!"
"Ling Xiao, you are truly the best chef in the world!"
She chewed it wholeheartedly and was so intoxicated that her eyes were filled with stars.
"Thank you." Ling Xiao responded lightly, not caring about her praise.
Of course it's delicious, after all, the fried condiments are all spiritual herbs he carefully cultivated, and the fish tail is the top ingredient of the Iron Tiger Shark.
But what Ling Xiao values more is the utilization efficiency of spiritual energy.
The utilization efficiency of spiritual energy is not high, no matter how delicious it is, it will be in vain.
He was not in a hurry to taste it and kept the shark's fin on the fire until the last moment, then quickly filled two bowls out.
Nearly half of the pot of water was boiled until there were only two bowls left, not a drop more or less.
Over there, Nangong Zhu had already taken a swig regardless of the heat.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, feeling proud of being a cook. He walked aside with the soup and tasted it slowly.
There is no need to comment too much on fish tails and fish heads. With these ingredients, the taste is not much different if you cook it with your eyes closed. In Ling Xiao's hands, the use of spiritual energy is also quite efficient.
"There is still room for improvement, but it is far from satisfactory."
He put down his plate and took a sip of soup.
The delicious fragrance filled his mouth. Ling Xiao tasted it carefully, but frowned slightly.
Good to drink, but could be better.
The main problem lies in the taste. Ling Xiao is used to making soups with light taste, but the iron tiger shark's fin is obviously the same as the fish head and needs heavy seasoning to cook.
"By the way, sharks use their skin to metabolize. They can't be suppressed without heavy seasoning."
As for the efficiency of using spiritual energy, it is very good.
Babao Linglong Soup is simply a universal recipe. No matter which main ingredients are replaced, as long as the condiments are matched and the heat is changed, the final dish will not disappoint Ling Xiao.
On the other side, Nangong Zhu wanted to lick the bowl clean.
"What, the soup can be improved?"
"What, improve now?"
Nangong Zhu looked at Ling Xiao who was busy again and almost fainted from the sudden happiness.
…
The second time he made the soup, Ling Xiao was familiar with the process and immediately improved the taste defects. By adding more spiritual herbs, he improved the efficiency of spiritual energy utilization.
After finishing the soup, Nangong Zhu looked at Ling Xiao with eyes full of admiration, and her complaints about Ling Xiao asking her to wait for so long were completely forgotten.
Return to the cabin.
Ling Xiao stretched out, touched his round belly, and laughed.
Although it took a lot of work, it was still very profitable to have a meal of top-quality ingredients.
"Ling Xiao, I'm going to hunt monsters. Do you want to come with me?"
Outside the house, Nangong Zhu asked loudly.
"Not going."
"I'm also going to visit Qifengji. Do you need me to buy anything for you?"
she asked again.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment, then opened the door and threw a jade slip to the other party.
"Buy some spiritual herbs for me."
Herbs for cooking.
"okay!"
Nangong Zhu happily agreed, put on her heavy armor, and left in a hurry.
Ling Xiao was the only one left on the island again.
He meditated in the wooden house, and after absorbing the spiritual energy provided by the Iron Tiger Shark, he called Minghu out and ran to the Paradise of Cave to take over the latter's work.
Minghu spent every day in the Cave Heaven Paradise taking care of spiritual plants, drawing talismans, etc., which delayed his cultivation a lot. Of course, Ling Xiao couldn't favor one thing over another. It was time for Minghu to improve as well.
Ten days passed in a flash.
With the massive stack of resources, Minghu's Ice Demon Three Transformation Technique finally broke through the realm of the first transformation. After thoroughly consolidating his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, he began to practice the second level of mental skills - Ice Mysterious Transformation.
Unlike the Frost Transformation, which only adds frost effects to attacks and spells, the Ice Transformation comes with an extremely sinister spell - the Ice Mysterious Needle.
Condensing ice needles with mana, inserting them into the magical power to attack the enemy, with the help of the cover of the magical power, it is extremely difficult to defend against, making the Minghu's attack even more powerful!
On the first day of practice, Ming Hu successfully condensed an Ice Mysterious Needle.
It is rumored that if you practice this technique to a deep level, you can condense a total of 99 ice-mysterious needles, which is invincible. Of course, the premise is that the monk's spiritual consciousness can control so many ice-mysterious needles at the same time.
Minghu's breakthrough was expected.
The next time, Ling Xiao took Ming Hu to the coast.
The main body takes care of both training and daily life, while Minghu sneaks into the nearby sea to hunt monsters.
The sea area 300,000 miles away from Yunhuang Continent can be called a paradise for monsters. Even if the Hades Fox only moves within a radius of more than 5,000 meters, there is no shortage of prey.
