Nuwa's First Culinary Dao Trial

The sound of a zither accompanied by fine wine, the snowy scenery paired with barbecue—this kind of enjoyment might seem unremarkable. But what if the zither player is the Great God Fuxi, the wine is a divine brew, and the barbecue is made from Dragon Meat? Doesn't it feel completely different?

If we also include the Nuwa among those barbecuing...

In short, the winter picnic was a great success, and Little Moon Spirit's culinary skills once again won over Nuwa. Nuwa's first attempt at Culinary Dao, in turn, impressed Fuxi.

Originally, Fuxi was actually indifferent to these delicacies. Wu Chu could see this; this guy wasn't a man who would be easily swayed by his appetite.

However, this also depends on who made it.

When Nuwa handed Fuxi a piece of roasted, charred Dragon Meat and looked at him with hopeful eyes, Fuxi once again lost his principles.

"Delicious!" He paused, then added, "Although the appearance is just average, it's already very impressive that my sister could achieve this level on her first try."

As if to confirm his words, Fuxi looked at Wu Chu and asked with a smile, "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Although Fuxi had a smiling face, Wu Chu could sense a faint threat. He figured that if Fuxi didn't cooperate, he could forget about getting the Qiankun Object.

Fuxi, who frequently lost his principles, was certainly capable of going back on his word.

So Wu Chu had no choice but to lie and say, "You two might not believe it, but the first time I cooked, I turned the food into charcoal. However, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa wants to improve her cooking skills, she only needs to control the steps and the time."

As Wu Chu spoke, he picked up a piece of crystal-clear Dragon Meat. As for the few pieces of dark, charred meat that Nuwa had roasted, only Fuxi was qualified to enjoy them.

He, Wu Chu, is truly unworthy of possessing it.

"Cooking is all about the color, aroma, and flavor of the dish. To achieve all three, you must master the control of the heat. The way to control the heat... is actually the same as crafting weapons. I'm sure you two are familiar with crafting weapons! Observe the changes between various ingredients and add other ingredients as needed, right? The Dao of Cooking is the same, so experience is crucial. The saying 'practice makes perfect' applies here. You just need to try a few more times."

Little Moon Spirit nodded in agreement, readily endorsing Wu Chu's words.

Nuwa, full of energy, began discussing things with Little Moon Spirit. As for the few pieces of dark Dragon Meat in Fuxi's hand, they turned into dust and drifted into the air.

Wu Chu was stunned by this scene. Fuxi, on the other hand, still wore a smile, his eyes seeming to say: My sister isn't stupid, how could she not know whether the food she made was delicious or not? She just wanted to tease her older brother!

Unfortunately, Fuxi didn't know that Nuwa genuinely wanted to tease her brother, but he remained the same as always. However, she found it quite amusing that he threatened Wu Chu to cooperate with his nonsense in order to prove his point.

So, after this amusing little episode, those things that were clearly not easy to eat naturally became unnecessary.

After dinner, Wu Chu planned to teach the two experts how to dig a snow cave on the edge of this Bamboo Sea, intending to spend the night in the snow cave.

Fuxi thought Wu Chu was just making trouble for no reason. Was building a cave dwelling really that complicated? He simply unleashed his potential, and an ice-sculpted palace appeared on the snowfield.

Seeing this, Wu Chu's lips twitched slightly, and he stubbornly said, "We come out to have fun. If we have to solve everything with magic, what fun is there?"

Nuwa and Little Moon Spirit covered their mouths and chuckled at Wu Chu's stubbornness, while Fuxi chuckled twice and asked, "So, will you live in this Main Hall or that snow cave?"

"Fine, I'll reluctantly stay one night! Perhaps gazing at the stars and enjoying the night view from this Ice Crystal Palace will be a unique experience!"

Fuxi had never seen such an eccentric person before. Just as he was about to retort, a wild beast with bluish-black skin and needle-like mane came running out of the Bamboo Sea. Behind it, Little Deer Cub was bleating and chasing after it happily.

"Dang Kang!"

Little Moon Spirit's eyes lit up, and she called out.

The Fat Dog beside it tumbled up from the snow and bared its teeth at the wild boar, though its obese appearance was rather comical.

The wild boar charged out of the Bamboo Sea and saw Wu Chu and his group. Its eyes widened in surprise. It stomped its hooves and braked suddenly, leaving four tracks in the snow. But it still tumbled into a snow pit that suddenly appeared in front of it.

The snow pit was created by Little Moon Spirit. Dang Kang putting the beast into the snow pit, Little Moon Spirit looked at Wu Chu and asked, "Brother A Chu, are we going to kill it?"

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Forget it! We still can't finish all the Dragon Meat. Although the Dang Kang Meat is good, it still can't compare to Dragon Meat. Let's raise it for a few more years!"

Seeing Little Moon Spirit's regretful expression, Nuwa asked, "Is this kind of wild beast delicious?"

"Hmm, the meat is tender yet chewy, the finest of all the common beasts I've ever seen. But it certainly can't compare to Dragon Meat. However, I think if this Dang Kang were also at the Golden Immortal Realm, its deliciousness would be no less than that of Dragon Meat."

Little Moon Spirit displayed the qualities a foodie should have; when talking about the Dao of Cuisine, she completely lost the shyness she felt when she first met these two masters.

"This creature looks so disgusting, is it really as delicious as you say?" Nuwa was somewhat skeptical. "What are the special characteristics of this beast?"

Little Moon Spirit chuckled, "Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; it possesses an extremely rare ability... This fellow appeared in this Bamboo Sea, presumably because it smelled some precious spiritual plant here. Yoyo, did you see what it was looking for just now?"

Upon hearing this, the Little Deer Cub opened its mouth and spat out a bamboo shoot.

It's obvious that the Little Deer Cub also has the same storage function as Little Moon Spirit, allowing it to shrink things down and store them inside its stomach.

This yellow bamboo shoot is clearly a winter bamboo shoot hidden in the mud, but the spiritual energy contained within it is extremely rich. Although all the bamboo in the Bamboo Sea is Innate Object, there are differences between Innate Object.

It is obvious that the spiritual energy contained in this winter bamboo shoot is several times that of ordinary bamboo, and its quality is much higher.

Upon seeing this, Little Moon Spirit's eyes lit up, and she said, "Brother A Chu, seniors, I'll be right back!" With that, her small figure disappeared from the spot.

"This is delicious?" Nuwa asked, puzzled.

Wu Chu laughed, "Every food has its own characteristics, and everyone's favorite food is not necessarily the same. What we think tastes good may not be suitable for everyone. Winter bamboo shoots do taste good, but winter bamboo shoots with such rich spiritual energy are rare. It's normal for Little Moon Spirit to feel this way."

If Little Moon Spirit form weren't a white snake, Wu Chu would have thought she was a Rolling!

Wu Chu had expected Little Moon Spirit to bring back some winter bamboo shoots, but to his surprise, she even brought back a bamboo whip. Both of the great gods were somewhat taken aback when they saw the golden bamboo whip.
