Upgrade: Two Buildings

"Junior sister, please take all these items to the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion." Li Yunjing returned the list to Shui Yao.

Shui Yao nodded and took back the list. "Senior brother, when will Luozhen Treasure Pavilion open?"

Li Yunjing paused for a moment, then said, "Since everything is ready over there, let's open for business tomorrow."

Having received Li Yunjing's reply, Shui Yao left to prepare everything before the opening of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.

After Shui Yao left, Li Yunjing also went to check out the two newly built buildings.

One is the dining hall of the Luozhen Sect, and the other is the Beast Taming Grounds.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hongzhi fell ill, forcing the construction of the Spirit Vein Pavilion to be halted.

Otherwise, there should have been an additional Spirit Vein Pavilion by now.

Then the mountain gate can be upgraded.

The Spirit Vein Pavilion is not yet completed, and the upgrade of the mountain gate will have to wait.

Arriving at the cafeteria, since it was still early morning,

Therefore, some disciples were still eating spiritual food in the dining hall.

The spiritual food is rich in nutrients, containing meat, eggs, and dairy products, and is filled with Spiritual Qi.

These are all free.

Currently, Li Yunjing does not intend to charge a fee.

After all, the number of disciples in the Luozhen Sect is still not large enough.

If it's charged, not many people can afford to eat in the cafeteria.

Once the number of disciples increases,

Li Yunjing is gradually trying to make charging fees available.

"New building detected - Spirit Cuisine Pavilion. Should it be added as an upgradeable building?"

A notification box popped up in front of Li Yunjing.

Silently repeat it in your mind.

The prompt box in front of Li Yunjing changed.

Information about the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion appeared before Li Yunjing.

[Spirit Cuisine Pavilion (lv0)]

[Current effect: None]

[Level 1 Effect: Spirit Rice Absorption Efficiency +10%]

[Upgrade Requirements: 1 Iron Pot, 10 Jin of First-Rank Spirit Rice, 15 Low-Grade Spirit Stone Stones]

A fairly standard, albeit unremarkable, effect.

This stuff called "spiritual rice" contains spiritual power.

After consuming it, cultivators can absorb the spiritual energy within the spirit rice to cultivate and thus improve their cultivation level.

However, the effect is only so-so, not as good as taking a magic pill directly.

Fortunately, the price of Lingmi (a type of rice) is not expensive.

With prolonged use, the cumulative effect can be comparable to that of taking a single elixir.

For the vast majority of cultivators,

They can eat spirit rice at every meal, but they can't take spirit pills every day.

Since Spirit Cuisine Pavilion has been open for some time,

Therefore, First-Rank Spirit Rice are available.

The upgrade requirements have been met.

Li Yunjing silently chanted "upgrade" in his mind.

[Spirit Cuisine Pavilion (lv1)]

[Current effect: Spirit Rice absorption efficiency +10%]

[Level 2 Spiritual Effect: Spirit Rice absorption efficiency +20%, temporarily increases Spiritual Qi absorption speed by 5% after a meal (lasts for one hour).]

[Upgrade Requirements: 5 First-Class Recipes, 1 First-Class Chef.]

Seeing the next upgrade requirement for the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion,

Li Yunjing was immediately stunned.

Five first-grade recipes are required, and that's not all; we also need a first-grade spiritual chef!

Five dishes and one specialty recipes are relatively easy to handle.

Li Yunjing can simply buy it himself.

It's not like there aren't any common recipes for sale in Xunxian Town.

With a little Spirit Stone, you can even buy some so-called unique recipes.

However, becoming a spirit chef is a bit difficult.

Don't be fooled by its claims of cultivating immortality and mastering all arts.

Learning any skill will ensure you have enough to eat.

However, there are also differences between different skills.

Like elixirs, artifacts, talismans, and arrays,

These four skills were singled out.

It is popular with the public.

Any cultivator who wants to learn a skill will begin with these four skills.

Further down, there are winemakers, Spirit Plant growers, spiritual farmers, and so on.

Basically, nobody pays any attention to it anymore.

The concept of a "spiritual chef" received even less attention.

The main problem is that advancing to the next level as a Spirit Chef is very difficult.

Being a first-grade spirit chef is alright, but reaching the second grade is much more difficult.

The higher the level of a chef, the more advanced they need to be in mastering recipes of higher quality.

High-grade recipes are mostly held by some old guys.

Even if they take on disciples, it's difficult to pass on the knowledge.

This led some old folks to take high-grade food recipes with them to their graves.

Many high-quality recipes have been lost as a result.

Without high-grade recipes, the path of a spiritual chef is predictable and has no end.

Li Yunjing sighed.

Although Wang Shanming is currently the one cooking spiritual meals at the Spirit Cuisine Pavilion Shi Xuan.

However, these are all ordinary spiritual dishes, not enough to be called first-grade spiritual dishes.

Wang Shanming has a higher talent for beast taming.

Cooking spiritual food is just a hobby.

Li Yunjing did not want to train Wang Shanming to become a first-class spiritual chef.

"How about we go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and recruit a spirit chef?" Li Yunjing pondered.

As the largest restaurant in Xunxian Town.

There must be quite a few spirit chefs.

Finding a top-tier chef should be feasible... right?

Li Yunjing shook his head, intending to think about the matter carefully.

After leaving Spirit Cuisine Pavilion, Li Yunjing headed to the Beast Taming Grounds.

The Beast Taming Grounds is located to the west of Serene Valley.

Serene Valley Serene Valley a large valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a road leading directly into it from the south.

The Luozhen Sect's headquarters are located near the mountains to the east of Serene Valley.

To the west, the terrain is flat and vast.

Since this is a place where Demon Beast roam, the space naturally cannot be too crowded.

Upon arriving at the Beast Taming Grounds, Wang Shanming was discussing something with his two younger brothers.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing approach, the three of them immediately walked over.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Hmm, what are you discussing?" Li Yunjing asked.

Wang Shanming responded respectfully.

"Reporting to the sect leader, we are discussing which Demon Beast to raise first."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing thought about it carefully and offered his own suggestion.

"Let's start with carnivorous Demon Beast, like the Azure Fang Pig or something."

Currently, all the meat and vegetables in the Ling Shi Xuan of the Luozhen Sect Spirit Cuisine Pavilion...

The raw materials were mostly purchased from Xunxian Town.

If one could raise meat-producing Demon Beast such as the Azure Fang Pig.

That would save you some money.

If the quantity reaches a certain level, it can even be sold to earn Spirit Stone.

Wang Shanming nodded, intending to follow Li Yunjing's suggestion and start with the Azure Fang Pig and other Demon Beast.

"By the way, Sect Leader, I recently obtained two Demon Beast eggs, but I don't know what kind of Demon Beast they are. Could you please enlighten me?"

Wang Shanming suddenly remembered something and took out two spirit eggs from his Storage Bag.

One is black, and the other is white; they are no bigger than a thumb.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing frowned slightly.

"This Demon Beast egg... I've never seen one like it before."

Wang Shanming was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

Wang Shanming had no intention of cultivating the unknown Demon Beast egg.

This is a lesson learned by beast tamers at the cost of their lives.

There was a time when beast tamers cultivated eggs of unknown Demon Beast.

However, a ferocious beast eventually hatched, and on the day of its hatching, it swallowed the beast tamer whole.

Seeing the worry in Wang Shanming's eyes, Li Yunjing asked curiously.

Upon receiving the answer, Li Yunjing immediately burst into laughter.

"If you're unwilling to nurture it, you might as well hand it over to me, the sect leader."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shanming shook his head repeatedly:

"Sect Leader, you mustn't! If these two Demon Beast eggs are ferocious creatures, wouldn't I be endangering you?"

"So what do you plan to do with these two Demon Beast eggs? What if these two Demon Beast eggs have an unusual origin?" Li Yunjing asked.

Wang Shanming was speechless.

This is precisely what's troubling him.

"Leave it to me, the sect leader. There's no need to worry too much," Li Yunjing said.

Seeing Li Yunjing extend his hands, Wang Shanming had no choice but to give the Demon Beast egg to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing put away the two Demon Beast eggs.

I plan to find a proper place to settle down later.

Li Yunjing wouldn't be like those careless beast tamers,

If a ferocious creature hatches, it will immediately lose its own life.

Arriving at the Beast Taming Grounds,

Li Yunjing incorporated the Beast Taming Grounds into an upgradeable building.

Immediately afterwards, information about the Beast Taming Grounds appeared before Li Yunjing's eyes.

I glanced at the requirements for upgrading the Beast Taming Grounds to level 1.

It's nothing special, and I'm already satisfied.

Li Yunjing did not hesitate.

Simply repeat "upgrade" silently.

[Beast Taming Grounds (lv1)]

[Current effect: Spirit beast growth speed +10%, Spirit beast obedience +10%]

[Level 2 Spirit Effect: Spirit Beast Growth Speed +20%, Spirit Beast Obedience +20%]

Spirit beast meat's spiritual energy accumulation +15%.

[Upgrade Requirements: Tame 5 Awakened Intelligence Demon Beast, place 3 Beast Taming Ring.]
