The Red Phoenix Sect was indeed not a sect of cooks, but its cultivators truly knew quite a bit about fine food.
Unfortunately, most Red Phoenix Sect cultivators only knew how to eat. As for cooking... that was a little difficult.
Fortunately, Feng Jun's goal was not to cook. He merely wanted everyone to share the Yu Dragon meat.
Seeing meat from a shapeshifting demon beast on the Kunhao Plane was harder than ascending to heaven. Now that they had finally obtained such a resource, one renowned for its delicious flavor, he felt it was necessary to share it during the celebration—he had quite a few Nascent Soul materials on hand as well, but those were clearly unsuitable for sharing.
However, Yu Dragon meat was not something just anyone could eat. The portions had to be carefully controlled.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jianlei was actually proficient in cooking—or rather, not cooking, but the proportions for absorbing spiritual energy. After failing to form his Core Embrace years ago, he had researched many methods of nourishing oneself through food. He simply had never encountered suitable heavenly treasures until he obtained the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit.
He used the Yu Dragon meat to simmer a huge pot of soup, truly a huge pot. The pot was five meters across, yet he put in less than ten kilograms of Yu Dragon meat, saying that was already enough.
Then he added some other medicinal ingredients, placed sealing talismans on the lid, and even ran out a pipe. He mysteriously stated that the condensate dripping from the pipe was the true essence, hoping Feng Jun would collect it himself and give it to no one.
That rich, exotic fragrance lingered until noon the next day.
By custom, Feng Jun's Core Embrace celebration began with a Dao lecture before dawn.
