Once Ren Qianqian had brought several large cauldrons of blood, Li Hao casually made a move, and the Dragon Sky Sword out, its Sword Qi Soaring Sky, rushing towards the black bird.

Under the sharp edge of this Divine Weapon, the Black Bird Demon King's body was sliced open.

Li Hao slit its neck, and precious blood containing abundant life essence gushed out, but Li Hao used his power of Object Manipulation to cover it and draw it into the cauldron.

During this process, he also used his Object Manipulation powers to squeeze out the water from the precious blood, simply condensing it so that what remained was thick, sticky, and Strange Blood.

The enormous bronze cauldron was filled with nine vessels.

Li Hao then used molten iron to seal the top of it and set it aside temporarily.

Next, following Old Feng's instructions, Li Hao removed the Gilded Bird Feathers from the back of the Black Bird Demon King.

The bird's feathers were golden, and even though the Demon King was dead, a faint golden light still shimmered within them.

Li Hao collected all seven Gilded Bird Feathers, and then dissected the Demon King's heart.

This heart of the Dao Heart Realm is covered with Divine Runes, containing a vast and boundless Aura, with patterns naturally formed by the Heaven and Earth Power.

If one can comprehend it, one will also be able to understand the Dao Heart that the Demon King has comprehended.

Li Hao found a huge White Jade tray and caught the Dao Heart, which was half a meter in diameter.

The flowing dark gold Divine Runes on it still contain surging power, and even if left to decay naturally, they will not decay for a hundred years.

Besides these, the rest of the parts are also extremely valuable, but Li Hao plans to share them with all the Warrior in the city.

The other black bird feathers, while not suitable for crafting Divine Weapon, can still be forged into decent weapons, sufficient for use up to the Heaven and Man Realm.

This flesh and blood is extremely precious, and it would have great medicinal effects if eaten raw. However, the Demon Aura it contains is too strong, so it is better to refine it before absorbing it.

After all, there are some differences in the physical constitution between Human Race and Demon.

The Little White Fox can eat raw food, but it has been with Li Hao since it was a cub, and its little mouth has long been picky, only eating cooked food.

"Leave the task of setting up the pot and starting the fire to Old Feng."

Li Hao laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to Cooking the Black Bird Demon King.

Feng Boping also became interested. This was an astonishing event, and all the Warrior in the city were in for a treat tonight.

Li Hao manipulated the Dragon Sky Sword and began to pluck the fur and remove the flesh from the Demon King.

Ren Qianqian assisted Li Hao, searching everywhere for containers to hold the food.

When Li Hongzhuang arrived after hearing the news, she was stunned to see Li Hao actually wielding a sword and cutting flesh, with a huge pile of firewood set up next to him, as well as a huge iron pot that he had found from somewhere.

This is Demon King at the Dao Heart Realm; the value of his physical body is incalculable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's worth one tael of gold for one tael of flesh.

Li Hao actually intended to just go through the motions of extravagance and waste.

"Hao'er, are you really going to cook this Demon King?!"

Li Hongzhuang approached Li Hao and said in surprise.

Li Hao turned to look at her. This aunt of his had also come to reinforce them earlier; she was one of the figures fighting Outside the Pass the pass. He smiled at her and said:

What flavor do you prefer, spicy or steamed?

"..."

Li Hongzhuang was speechless.

Border Defense for over a decade, the thought of actually eating the flesh of Demon King was something I never dared to dream of.

Seeing that Ren Qianqian was having difficulty finding the tools, Li Hongzhuang stopped being coy. As the daughter of the Military Family, she had a rather free and easy personality, and immediately waved to summon the deputy general of the Blood Fiend Army.

Soon, the cooks who accompanied the Blood Fiend Army arrived.

Bowls, chopsticks, serving utensils, and a variety of condiments were brought out.

Seeing Li Hao disposing of the Demon King's corpse, the cooks exclaimed that Li Hao was incredibly clever and had broadened their horizons.

They wanted to help, but Li Hao refused, only asking them to assist with tasks like sorting and arranging the ingredients.

When it comes to Cooking, Li Hao likes to be in complete Mastery.

Li Hao removed the Demon King's thighs and wings one by one, then chopped them into small pieces.

The Dragon Sky Sword, the foremost of the Ten Famous Swords, now served as a kitchen knife, skillfully wielded by Li Hao to rapidly decompose the Demon King's corpse.

Seeing such high-end ingredients, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If he had broken through the bottleneck in his Path of Cooking, Cooking Demon King at the Four Establishments Realm would have given him an immense amount of experience—at least tens of thousands, right?

Although it was his first time cooking in a large pot, Li Hao was not careless or casual; on the contrary, he was extremely serious.

With a passion for Heart of Cooking, he strives to make every dish as exquisite and delicious as a single dish.

Therefore, how to properly prepare meals for a large, unified household is an even deeper challenge.

Li Hao was completely absorbed in the task. The ordinary Blazing Flame from the burning Firewood were not hot enough to stew the Demon King's flesh until it was soft, let alone stir-fry it.

While Cooking, Li Hao also touches and pounds the ingredients to make them soft and easier to cook.

When necessary, he would also use the Purple Firmament Palm to heat it up.

Now that he has reached the Extreme Realm Grandmaster Martial Dao, many of his original Cultivation Method have acquired another form of Cultivation Method: Immortal Dao.

By borrowing Immortal Power, the Cultivation Method can unleash even greater power.

This Upper-Grade Purple Firmament Palm also transformed into Immortal Power Purple Firmament Palm, the high temperature it emitted could easily melt Demon at the Heaven and Man Realm.

It can also inflict great damage on Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm.

Using it in Cooking at this moment was like a divine intervention for Li Hao.

During the cooking process, the remaining will within the Demon King's flesh and blood would occasionally manifest, which Li Hao would shatter with his Divine Sense each time.

The lingering resentment within the pores and essence of this Demon King is gradually fading away.

During this process of disappearance, Li Hao was initially unaware, but later he suddenly had a peculiar feeling.

The ingredient itself seems to possess a Transcendent flavor.

The six Cooking Sixth Dan have allowed Li Hao to reach the pinnacle of culinary Cooking, providing the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds and the tongue.

Even in the best restaurants Sacred Capital the Imperial City, Li Hao could work on the stove, don a skirt, and become the head chef.

But this is not the limit of Cooking.

Entering Spirit.

Li Hao suddenly realized that Entering Spirit was not just about Cooking ingredients themselves.

It's about Cooking something else, something beyond what the physical body can perceive—the soul of the ingredients themselves!

Li Hao's Path of Cooking had long since reached the Sixth Dan, but he never imagined that he would focus on Path of Cooking first, using it to Entering Spirit.

What was merely an unintentional act, a spontaneous Cooking, suddenly seemed to have allowed him to touch upon that seemingly insurmountable bottleneck.

Li Hao gradually lost himself in the moment.

He no longer eradicated the lingering resentment within the Demon King's flesh and blood, but instead used his own will to soothe it, gradually calming it down from its Anger screams.

That lingering regret still remains in the ingredients.

At this moment, what he was Cooking was no longer flesh and blood, but the remnant soul of the Black Bird Demon King!

The Black Bird Demon King's Divine Soul had long been erased; this remnant soul could be considered as fragments of the soul, merely unconscious emotions and thoughts.

Therefore, most regrets exude Aura of Violence and Bloodlust.

But now, under Li Hao's Divine Sense, it has gradually softened and become hidden within the ingredients themselves.

At the same time, these lingering regrets also become a kind of container, like the pores in flesh and blood, capable of absorbing seasonings and broth, bringing enjoyment to the taste buds.

The same applies to this lingering resentment. Li Hao channeled his gratitude towards the many Warrior into the lingering resentment, allowing it to absorb it and then sink into the ingredients.

Before Li Hao knew it, a series of Panel prompts gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

[Cooking Experience +2712...]

[Cooking Experience +2539...]

[Cooking Experience +2934...]

He took that step, embracing the Path of Cooking and Entering Spirit.

The bottleneck in Path of Cooking is broken, and Cooking experience points can be gained again.

But Li Hao was completely absorbed in Cooking and ignored these hints.

Just like his State of Mind when he suddenly realized the limits of Grandmaster, he did not seek, therefore he attained.

The most precious things in the world are often not obtained through begging, but rather through natural means.

Just like life, it is conceived in the womb; why would you need to speak?

Just as the sun shines brightly and the sun and moon alternate, why should you pray?

Mountains and rivers are all governed by the laws of nature. If one seeks something, it is like rowing against the current to make the water at the foot of the mountain flow back to the Mountain Summit. This can be done with great human effort, but it is not sustainable.

The Supreme Perfection path, perfectly natural, is just like that.

Li Hao's mind was Entering Spirit to the Entering Spirit of Painting Dao Fishing Dao, but he never placed his hopes on the Path of Cooking, yet the result was a serendipitous success.

As the sun sets, the evening glow hangs in the sky like a young girl's Crimson.

Upon receiving the news, all the Warrior in the city gathered there.

The overwhelming fragrance had already spread, covering the entire Azure Cliff City. Even the old man from the Constellation Official and others who were still studying the Sculpting trajectory of the Magic Array on the city wall could smell it.

What does it taste like?

Xia Xianglan was surprised. She raised her head, sniffed her fair nose, and smelled the fragrance coming from the city. She couldn't help but look up, but it was too far away and her cultivation level was too low to see clearly.

"That young master seems to have Cooking the Demon King and is hosting a feast for everyone."

Beside him, an Academician Divine Soul was suspended in mid-air, saw and heard the commotion in the distance. His usually dull face showed a hint of surprise.

"What, stew the Demon King?"

The others were stunned. The old man from the Constellation Official also narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up, and muttered to himself, "That young master is truly insane."

Xia Xianglan was somewhat stunned when she thought of the gentle and refined young man in the courtyard. It was hard for her to associate him with such a wild act as cooking the Demon King.

In the city.

Numerous tables and chairs were prepared on site, and the cooks helped serve the dishes, plate after plate of Demon King's flesh and blood delicacies were brought out.

Stir-fried sliced meat, steamed fatty liver, stewed tendon, etc.

Li Hao turned a Demon King into more than fifty dishes, each with a unique style. There were hot dishes, cold dishes, and pastries and snacks made from a mixture of muscle and other ingredients.

We prepared about a hundred tables in total, with each table serving more than fifty dishes.

In the Setting Sun's Afterglow, Li Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down at a table with Old Feng to eat.

There were no speeches, no words of thanks; all the emotions were poured into the meal.

However, Li Hongzhuang, representing Li Hao, went on stage to express her gratitude before announcing the start of the meal.

When the food enters the mouth and the flavors explode on the tongue, the emotions and intentions infused by Li Hao, carried by the remnant spirit of the Demon King within the dish, are also conveyed.

In an instant, everyone understood the boy's heartfelt gratitude; it was as if their souls had collided, a feeling that spoke louder than words.

Some of the more sentimental women even had tears welling up in their eyes as they ate.

The only sound at the table was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.

"You little rascal..."

As usual, Feng Boping picked up some stir-fried meat slices and ate them. Soon, something seemed to fly out from the spicy meat slices, giving him an indescribable feeling.

It was like a consciousness, directly injected into his heart; without the need for words, he could taste the intense emotions within.

This is no longer a simple dish.

Li Hao had Ren Qianqian prepare some food boxes and send them to the people in the Bureau of Astronomy on the city wall.

At this moment, he was eating the food he had made and drinking some wine. Although he couldn't absorb the essence of the Demon King's flesh and blood like others, he could still taste that it was indeed quite delicious.

During his spare time, Li Hao brought up the Panel and glanced at it. He saw that the Path of Cooking had been upgraded from Sixth Dan to Seventh Dan, and couldn't help but smile.

This feeling wasn't one of surprise, but rather a knowing smile that came naturally.

The Entering Spirit to the Path of Cooking also allowed Li Hao to discover ways to Entering Spirit the Painting Dao and other arts.

However, some attempts are still needed, since saying something and doing it are two different things.

Regardless, he can finally continue adding points now.
