After waiting for about half an hour, the door to the private room was gently pushed open again.
Mu Chen walked in carrying two exquisite jade plates.
His face seemed a little paler than before, a few drops of sweat even appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was a little quick. The cooking process just now took a lot of effort from him.
However, his eyes were extremely bright, with a kind of concentration and a trace of imperceptible pride.
Before others could fully walk in, an extremely complex aroma that was difficult to describe in words was already hitting his face.
The aroma has both a rich and mellow meaty aroma, and a strange, refreshing medicinal aroma that can cleanse the soul.
The two are perfectly blended together. Not only do they not conflict, but they make people's index fingers twitch and their stomachs roar loudly.
Mu Chen carefully placed the jade plate on the table in front of Jiang Donghua and Lei Lie, with a tired but sincere smile on his face, and introduced in his unique, weak but gentle voice.
"I've kept you two waiting for a long time. This dish is called Blazing Flame Stewed Mountain Delicacy."
He pointed to the square piece of meat in the center of the jade plate, which was amber in color, had a layer of crystal oil on the surface, and was still slightly emitting heat:
"This main ingredient is the most essence of walnut meat taken from the hind legs of a fourth-level Fire attribute monster Earth Flame Rhinoceros. This meat contains abundant Fire attribute energy. The meat is firm but simmered for a long time and becomes crispy. It melts in your mouth."
Then, he pointed to the strange petals dotted around the meat, slightly curled like flames and bright red in color.
"This auxiliary material uses the tenderest petals of Flame Flower that are commonly used when refining Second-grade Pill Violent Pill. These petals are warm and strong in nature, and can gently stimulate the energy contained in flesh and blood, and give it a unique and fragrant aroma."
There is a hint of craftsman's pride in Mu Chen's tone.
"I used a special technique to simmer it slowly for half an hour, allowing the essence of Earth Flame Rhinoceros meat to perfectly blend with the medicinal power of Flame Flower. It not only locked in the energy, but also made it have an excellent flavor and rich taste."
"And this red meat with safflower is really beautiful when presented on the plate."
Jiang Donghua lowered his head and looked at the plate of dishes in front of him that can be called a work of art.
The piece of meat was so crispy that it was separated with a gentle flick of jade chopsticks, revealing the meat inside, and the rich aroma burst out instantly.
Flame Flower petals are like real flames jumping on the plate, which not only adds flavor but is also highly ornamental.
He couldn't help but secretly nod his head, and his evaluation of Mu Chen was a little higher.
To be able to survive in this Inner Academy, where there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and fierce competition, you don't have to rely on fighting to kill.
Instead, he relies on his unique medicinal food skills to support the industry of the Medicine Spirit Pavilion, making countless strong people willingly abide by his rules and line up to make reservations for Mu Chen. He is really capable!
There really are two brushes!
This not only requires superb cooking skills, but also an extremely deep understanding and ability to integrate the medicinal properties of medicinal materials and the energy properties of Warcraft flesh and blood. The difficulty is no less difficult than refining a high-quality elixir.
"Wonderful!"
Lei Lie couldn't wait for it, his saliva almost flowed out, and he praised loudly.
"Old Mu, just because of your skills, I, Lao Lei, will spend the rest of my life with you!"
As he spoke, he moved his chopsticks.
Mu Chen saw this, the smile on his pale face deepened, and he quickly added another sentence.
"Two seniors use it slowly. This Blazing Flame Stewed Mountain Delicacy has the best effect when consumed while it is hot. The energy contained in it is very beneficial to nourishing Dou Qi and warming the meridians."
Jiang Donghua picked up a piece of rotten meat and put it in his mouth.
The piece of meat almost melts in your mouth. The rich meaty aroma mixed with Flame Flower's unique refreshing herbal aroma instantly blooms on the taste buds. The taste is rich and layered, and it is truly a masterpiece.
As the food enters the abdomen, a gentle but pure Fire attribute energy spreads out and flows into the meridians like a trickle.
For Jiang Donghua, who is already at the Dou Wang level, although this energy is pure, the total amount is really insignificant compared to his vast Dou Qi background, and it is impossible to shake or improve his level of strength at all.
However, when he chewed and tasted it carefully and perceived it with Soul Force, he discovered a subtlety.
Although this energy is weak, it is extremely pure. After being refined by a certain special method, it can extremely finely refine and purify the Fire-attribute Battle Qi that already exists in the body, making it more condensed and active.
"Huh?"
Jiang Donghua A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"The effect is a bit interesting."
Although it had little effect on him, Jiang Donghua judged it from Fourth-grade Alchemy Master's perspective. The effect of Blazing Flame Stewed Mountain Delicacy's medicinal diet was indeed quite good!
He made a quick calculation in his mind.
"The energy contained in this medicinal diet is gentle and easy to absorb, and has a special tempering effect."
"If a Da Dou Shi or even a Dou Shi student practicing the Fire attribute technique were to have such a meal, I'm afraid it would not only consolidate their foundation, but also have a great chance of breaking through to one-star strength on the spot!"
This method of combining food and medicinal materials, and accurately controlling energy release and effect directionality has already touched the threshold of high-level alchemy, and is by no means comparable to ordinary cooking skills.
Just as Jiang Donghua was savoring and judging secretly, Lei Lie opposite him staged a completely different scene.
I saw that Lei Lie didn't use chopsticks at all, he directly picked up the jade plate, used a jade spoon to scoop up the meat pieces, flower petals, and the rich, viscous, amber-shining soup into his mouth!
"Suck--!"
"Bah, bah, bah—!"
That sound can be described as wind and clouds, hearty and hearty!
However, in less than a minute, the jade plate in front of Lei Lie was as clean as if it had been licked, with not even a drop of soup left!
Lei Lie burped loudly with satisfaction, patted his belly, his face was filled with an expression of extreme comfort and happiness, and he praised loudly.
"Excellent! Enjoyable! Old Mu's craftsmanship is really amazing!"
The contrast between his eating appearance as if a hungry ghost had been reincarnated, and Jiang Donghua's attitude of chewing slowly, savoring and analyzing, made Mu Chen on the sidelines dumbfounded.
Jiang Donghua looked at Lei Lie's satisfied look, then looked at the jade plate on which he had just eaten a few bites, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
This guy is here purely to enjoy the delicious food. As for tempering Dou Qi and nourishing the meridians, they are probably far less important to him than the words delicious.
Jiang Donghua put down his jade chopsticks and admired sincerely.
"The medicinal properties of the ingredients can be blended so exquisitely, and the heat can be controlled so accurately, which can not only stimulate energy but not lose its taste."
"The subtlety of this thought and technique, and its difficulty, are by no means simpler than creating a brand-new first- or second-grade elixir recipe."
He looked at Mu Chen with sincere appreciation and a hint of regret in his eyes.
"Mu Chen Senior's talent and attainments in the field of medicinal food are really admirable."
"It's a pity that you seem to be Wood-attribute Battle Qi, which does not meet the dual attribute requirements of fire and wood required by an alchemist."
"Otherwise, with your deep understanding and creativity of medicinal properties, you will surely become a famous Alchemy Master in the future!"
