According to Aili, cooking Jianshou Mushrooms would greatly enhance their effects!
Previously, Jianshou Mushrooms had mainly strengthened Xiao Yang's will by using illusions to temper his soul will.
As for substances within the Jianshou Mushrooms that directly strengthened soul will, there were very few.
Although the combination of these two effects strengthened his will far faster than training in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space aboard the Universe Boat.
It was even about as effective as attending a concert.
But according to Aili, this was actually very wasteful.
The substances within Jianshou Mushrooms had to consume a certain amount of energy to form illusions.
As Xiao Yang's will resisted them, the nutrients within were consumed as well.
This meant that the stronger Xiao Yang's will became, the less improvement each Jianshou Mushroom provided.
But if a knowledgeable Chef cooked them, the Chef could completely alter the energy and laws within the Jianshou Mushrooms!
They could prevent the Jianshou Mushrooms from drawing people into illusions and instead turn all that energy into nutrients that nourished soul will!
This was possible primarily by drawing on the rules inherent in the Jianshou Mushrooms themselves.
Even so, Chefs of different strengths could convert different amounts of nutrients.
And Gordon was the best at this!
"Come on, let me take you to Gordon's restaurant to try it."
"It's been a while since I ate there, anyway."
"He's always wanted to meet you, too, but you've never visited his restaurant."
As she spoke, Aili had already gotten up, closed her shop, and pulled Xiao Yang out of her Musical Instrument Store.
Xiao Yang followed behind Aili, his face full of anticipation.
"I'd like to see just how delicious Gordon's food is, too."
"Take me to the restaurant. My treat today!"
Aili's eyes lit up at that.
