Chapter 191: Spiritual Storage! (6K)

“Level 30 ingredient [White Snow Catfish], perfect control!”

Xia An was in a very good mood.

From the level 10 Kaila giant crocodile leader to the level 30 snow catfish, the span is a full 20 levels.

Of course, it was easy for him to control the meat of the leader of the giant Kaira crocodile. He only needed to work hard for one night to achieve 100% perfect cooking.

In comparison, the process of perfectly controlling the snow catfish is much more tortuous and takes a very long time.

If Xia An had not gone to Dongye Gang’s mansion, thanks to Dongye Gang’s provision of the level 30 snow catfish, and the second batch of ingredients provided by the Phoenix Eight Immortals today, it would have been basically impossible for Xia An to obtain enough ingredients on his own to gain experience and practice his cooking skills.

“The [Luminous] property is indeed special, and it is directly ranked first among all entries.”

Xia An nodded secretly.

Looking at the entry information column, there are so many food skills, talents and special skills affixes, many of which are golden words.

He chuckled.

How do you say that–

I succeeded in perfectly controlling the level 30 [Snow Catfish], all thanks to hard work and sweat.

His driving path seems simple and rough, but in fact it is not replicable at all.

Let’s put aside the serious violation of the [Glow] feature for now.

Ancient stunt.

Hell of Fire and Extreme Fire.

There is also perfect proficiency, purple soothing touch and large massage hands.

Which chef has the ability to go this route?

And that’s without even mentioning the remakes of classic Paleo recipes like Catfish Noodles.

“So I took a shortcut and used the classic framework of the ancient recipe of Catfish Noodles to control the fantasy ingredients and make the ancient classic fantasy…”

Although he thought so, Xia An felt at ease.

So what if we stand on the shoulders of our predecessors?

If there are chefs who are not convinced, let them also try to reproduce ancient recipes, using the classic framework and making imaginative reforms.

[‘White Snow Catfish’ (Level 30/Sub-Emerald Stage) ingredient illustration has reached 100%]

[Successfully created a personal answer-level recipe (“White Snow Catfish Noodles”)]

[The food illustrations and recipe creation rewards have been merged. The host can expand the reward list——]

While waiting for the second pot of fish bone and fish head broth to be cooked, Xia An was in a good mood and unfolded the reward list.

“Option ①: Gourmet Cell Sequence 4 [Universal]”

“Option 100: white snow catfish fry (half male and half female)”

“Option ③: [Master-level ingredient clue treasure chest]”

hiss……

It is worthy of being a reward list after the fusion upgrade.

Option ① alone is very important. Once selected, Xia An can immediately become Sequence 4.

Although it is just a [Universal] sequence and has no outstanding features in terms of cellular capabilities, it is simple and crude, with great power.

You know, Sequence 4 corresponds to the 30-40 level food material range, and has reached the hunting strength level of Pseudo-Lin.

Further up.

This is the true scale realm that Higashino Tsuyoshi wants to reach by eating the level 46 [Ruby Crab].

“If I choose ①, with my hunting ability of Sequence 4 [Universal], wouldn’t I be able to firmly establish the name of ‘Pseudo-Lin’?”

Xia An’s heart was moved.

He has mastered the principles of luminescence and the mundane ways of eating, but what he lacks now is the practice of becoming a food tyrant.

Option ① can immediately make up for his shortcomings in food master training.

“But if I choose it, what should I do if I encounter the backlash of the ‘Food Demon’?” Xia An did not make a decision on impulse, but thought carefully.

He had to consider the issue of backlash.

Unless, the cellular energy infused into him by the Kitchen God Panel is absolutely pure and not mixed with the devil’s will.

But what if it isn’t?

Even someone as powerful as Higashino Tsuyoshi was tortured beyond recognition by the backlash. Xia An didn’t want to become skin and bones and be confined to a wheelchair.

what.

Xia An thought of the way he cured Dong Yegang, and his eyes lit up slightly:
“You can prepare a Diamond Grade ingredient above Level 40 that contains the Universal Cell Sequence. Practice repeatedly to increase your control to over 80%. This way, you don’t have to worry about backlash.”

“Once there is a demonic backlash, I will control the diamond-level ingredients and cook dishes to heal myself?”

Thoughts are mixed.

Xia An put the reward list aside for the moment and started cooking the second batch of catfish noodles.

Maybe it was because I was distracted.

Or maybe the probability just didn’t come up.

This second batch of catfish noodles, which was also 100% perfectly cooked, did not shine.

No one was surprised by this. If he could glow steadily every time, wouldn’t he be the “Glowing Cooking Immortal”?
Fortunately, there were many people, and soon everyone finished eating up this batch of catfish noodles.

The third batch…

The fourth batch…

As the fresh snow catfish were slaughtered one by one.

There is only one fish left in the aquatic tank.

And Granny Sun’s expression went from excitement and eagerness after enjoying the first bowl of glowing catfish noodles to gradually filled with disappointment after witnessing subsequent batches of dishes.

Even a little distraught.

The fifth child, Sun Ying, muttered, “So it’s so difficult to shine?”

The fourth brother, Sun Kang, said, “What do you think? In the old days of the Shenzhou food world, there were only a few chefs who could make dishes that shine.”

The third child, Sun Xiang, continued:
“Even those people can’t always make dishes that shine, except for that chef Liu…”

Sun Zhengze and his elder sister Sun Yun looked at each other.

Sun Zheng whispered: “The catfish noodles that are not shiny but 100% perfectly cooked are the pseudo-lin dishes that contain normal food meaning.”

“But if the glowing 100% perfectly cooked catfish noodles were to compete against each other, I can’t think of any way to win.”

His voice was not loud, but to those who knew Sun Zheng’s background, it was like thunder out of the blue.

Chef Lin is ashamed of himself?
The eldest sister Sun Yun sighed and agreed, “Yes, the answer-level fake Lin vegetable products can be defeated by us using the real Lin vegetable products.”

“But if it’s the glowing version, I can’t think of any trump card that can defeat that ‘taste of happiness’.”

Afterwards, the descendants of the Phoenix Eight Immortals, the brothers and sisters of Master Sun’s school, looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, they still had a feeling, but they didn’t dare to say it in front of Grandma Sun, who was both their teacher and mother –

No wonder the Phoenix Eight Immortals were defeated by this “glow” and this “taste of happiness”!
soon.

Cheyenne slaughtered the tenth snow catfish.

Probability theory is in action.

The sacred light of cooking suddenly rose up in the kitchen of the Chinese house after many hours.

“Huh, I finally accomplished my mission!” Xia An heaved a sigh of relief and reported to Granny Sun.

Granny Sun was full of gratitude: “Boss Xia, thank you for your hard work.”

She looked at the people around her who were eager to try it, and she did not intend to enjoy the second batch of glowing catfish noodles alone:

“Today is my Sun family’s banquet, please enjoy your meal.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone, including Granny Sun herself, quickly took away their bowl of noodles.

The happy sound of eating noodles was heard again in the kitchen.

Listening to the happy voices of the diners, Xia An couldn’t help but smile happily.

……

[Recipe: “White Snow Catfish Noodles”]

[Grade: Pseudo-gold, answer level]

[Progress: Complete]

[Fantasy food utilization rate/fusion degree: Snow catfish (100%)]

……

This recipe illustration means that the ancient recipe framework of “Catfish Noodles” has reached its limit in handling snow catfish.

Unless Xia An can find a more advanced fantasy catfish in the future, this fantasy answer-level recipe will remain here forever.

I made an appointment with Granny Sun to come to the shopping street tomorrow.

Xia An and his group set out on their journey home.

on the car.

Xia An opened his personal panel thoughtfully.

【Xia An’s Life Menu】

【Appetizer: None】

【Soup: None】

【Fish: None】

[Meat: “Grilled Crocodile Meat” (Kaira Giant Crocodile Meat)]

[Main dishes: “Golden Bread” (Golden Wheat), “White Snow Catfish Noodles” (White Snow Catfish)]

【Salad: None】

【Dessert: None】

[Drinks: None]

8 menu items, mostly blank.

Only the meat and main course columns were filled with two 100% perfectly cooked answer-level recipes.

Xia An rubbed his brows and said in distress: “This is simply a ragtag army.”

Other people’s life menus and the answer-level recipes they fill in all revolve around specific ingredients and gourmet cell sequences.

But on his life menu, “Grilled Alligator” and “Golden Bread” revolve around the “Strong” sequence.

But “Snow White Catfish Noodles” belongs to the [Universal] sequence.

If things continue to develop along this path, wouldn’t they just be a mixed army of ragtag troops?
Of course, the fundamental reason is that Xia An has not yet chosen the cell sequence to go.

……

Return to the Nakiri residence.

Xia An teleported to the volcanic island and sat on a beach chair at the entrance of the coastal base.

It was late at night in the Blue Star world, but it was noon here.

Xia An carefully read through Senior Tang Meijun’s notes and locked onto a level 40 ingredient called [Rice Cake Stone]:
“They are actually distributed in the cave world? Doesn’t that mean we have a stable source of supplies?”

“The key is that the gourmet cell sequence contained in the [Rice Cake Stone] is exactly [Universal]!”

If you digest and absorb the cooking experience of senior Tang Meijun, it is not difficult to cook [Rice Cake Stone] with 80% control.

Xia An opened the previous reward list again and stared at option ① with a flickering look:

“In this way, after I select Sequence 4 of [Universal], the hidden danger of backlash disease is equivalent to having a cure.”

From nothing.

Or jump directly from Sequence 9 to Sequence 4.

Such a huge improvement in hunting rank is full of temptation.

“Go find the Rice Cake Stone!”

“Once you find it, practice cooking!”

then.

Xia An controlled the fully charged association robot dog and went to the underground pyramid to check on the condition of the chalk bird.

The chalk bird shown on the remote control screen was obviously much healthier and was able to stand up and walk around. When it saw the dog that had been feeding it [Golden Bread] in recent days, it couldn’t help but cry happily.

“It’s a pity that we’re not face to face. I can’t use the ‘data eye’ to check the chalk bird’s panel.”

Xia An secretly felt regretful. If there was a panel, the breeding information of the Cretaceous Bird would be more intuitive.

“Do you know where the Rice Cake Stone is?” He turned on the audio paging and tried to communicate with the chalk bird remotely.

“Oh~?”

Hearing the sudden human voice coming from the association’s dog, the chalk bird was startled and took a few steps back.

This detail made Xia An secretly wonder that perhaps the closed underground breeding environment made the Cretaceous Bird a little socially anxious and seemed very timid.

“Hey, hey.”

“Do you know [Rice Cake Stone]?”

All Cheyenne could do was keep talking, letting the chalk bird get used to his voice.

After a moment, the clever Cretaceous Bird responded to him: “Woo woo woo~~”

It ran to the entrance of the pyramid and looked back at the association dog with an urging look.

“Was the communication successful?” Xia An, the dog from the Control Association, followed.

soon.

Standing in front of a bottomless chasm.

The crack is not big, estimated to be only seven or eight meters from one end to the other side, but it is long and deep, almost running through the entire underground red wasteland.

Fortunately, the chalk bird, which had grown to a young adult, had fully developed its wings and could fly. It took the initiative to fly into the crack, and after two or three minutes it broke through the fog and returned to its original position.

Then, his eyes were filled with disdain.

He opened his mouth and spat out several gray-black stones the size of footballs.

“Are you really that disgusted? Do you really only eat vegetables, fruits or other green plant ingredients?”

Xia An asked the association’s dog’s “titanium dog eyes” to zoom in and take pictures.

【Rice Cake Stone】

[Capture Level: 40]

【Extinct! 】

[Individual diameter can reach 20cm]

[The stone tastes like rice cake. According to records excavated by Blue Star chefs from the ruins of an old civilization, it grows thousands of meters underground and is an extremely difficult ingredient to find.]

[It has been confirmed to be extinct in the late ancient civilization, and there may still be wild species in places where few people go. 】

【Ingredients recycling price:? 】

……

“Extinct species?” Xia An took a breath and murmured, “Since rice cake stones can be found here, this means that this volcanic island was probably undeveloped during the old civilization of the food world!”

What are you waiting for.

Xia An asked the association’s dog to quickly transport these [rice cake stones] back!
“Woo——”

At the border between the red wasteland and the volcanic lava area, the chalk bird that had been following the dog all the way suddenly stopped and let out a cry full of reluctance and nostalgia.

This scene made Xia An fall into deep thought.

Is the Chalk Bird timid and unwilling to leave the wilderness where it has lived since childhood?
Or are you afraid of the powerful monsters active in the lava area?

For example, that unknown giant snake?

“Don’t worry, I will come back and promise to feed you until you are fat and plump!” After Xia An let the dog leave this sentence, he let go of his hands and put down the remote control. The dog would intelligently return along the established safe route.

About two hours later.

Unprecedented ingredients were placed on the beach.

“Is this the level 40 ingredient, [Rice Cake Stone]?”

Xia An reached out and picked up one.

They are about the size of a football, but have irregular shapes.

“So hard!” Xia An tried to use his five fingers, like performing Eagle Claw Technique, to tear apart the gray-black stone layer on the surface of the [Rice Cake Stone].

But even if he poured all his energy into his five fingers, he could only make five shallow holes.

“You can’t break this stone skin by force.”

Xia An thought for a moment, opened the kitchen utensil box, and looked at the two kitchen knives, an awl and a file inside.

“Daggers, machetes, awls, files.”

He picked up the machete and brought up the cooktop.

……

[Kitchenware: Kitchen blade forged by an unnamed grinder]

[Grade: Rare (Purple)]

[This is a batch of kitchen utensils forged for the purpose of practice by the talented chef Tang Meijun from Shenzhou after he mastered the inheritance of grinders in the food industry]

[Forging material analysis completed…]

[Ding…Made from the spine of a ‘Wana Shark’ (capture level 55)]

……

“Let’s call this knife ‘Sharkbone Cleaver’.”

Compared to daggers, awls, and files, this [Sharkbone Knife] is more suitable for chopping and dismembering.

Clang!
He chopped the [Rice Cake Stone] placed on the sand with a knife.

Sparks flew.

Xia An looked at the blade without any damage and exclaimed: “It is indeed a knife forged from the material of a level 55 ferocious beast!”

The irregularly shaped [rice cake stone] the size of a soccer ball has been split in the middle.

Inside the stone skin several centimeters thick is a white filling!

The cooking has not yet been done.

The mellow wheat aroma emanates continuously.

“Ow?”

The silverback, who was taking a nap under a coconut tree not far away, suddenly woke up and kept twitching his big nostrils.

Xia An took a clean spoon, scooped out a spoonful and tried to eat it raw.

“It has a chewy texture and is very sticky to your teeth.”

At the same time, Xia An quickly searched in his mind for classic ancient recipes of rice cakes or those related to them.

“Well, nothing suitable?”

After a moment, Xia An frowned and stopped, “Then I can only refer to Senior Tang Meijun’s advice.”

The current order is to continue using the classic framework if there is a suitable paleo recipe, and if not, refer to the notes of senior Tang Meijun.

If not, Xia An will start his own creation.

There is no way. Compared with those veteran special or pseudo-Lin chefs, Xia An knows that his accumulation is insufficient. It takes too much time for pure personal creation to reach 80% completion to control [Rice Cake Stone], and it may take years to calculate.

Open the page in the notebook that records [Rice Cake Stone].

Xia An breathed a sigh of relief.

With recipes!
“‘Spicy Rice Cake for a Clear Flavor’?”

“Rice cakes, persimmons, pears, carrots, cabbage…”

He got up and went to the Nakiri residence to prepare the ingredients.

……

The next day, Xia An, who had been working hard on researching “Rice Cake Stone” in the food industry, did not show any sign of fatigue and went to Chinatown to keep the appointment in high spirits.

There were five brothers and sisters from the Sun family, plus Granny Sun who was both their teacher and mother, a total of six people, and the whole family went out to lead the way for Xia An.

From Tokyo, head to Yokohama, the city with the largest number of Chinese people.

“Our lineage originally lived in seclusion in Yokohama.”

In front of a suburban villa that looked quite luxurious, Grandma Sun smiled and said to Xia An, “It’s not convenient in the city, so I bought land here. Well, as you can see, the hills within the field of vision are all plots of land owned by our lineage.”

Xia An was not surprised. When the Phoenix Eight Immortals crossed the sea to Japan, Japan was still in the old society. If the wealthy and powerful Phoenix Eight Immortals wanted to, it would be normal for them to develop into chaebols today.

Rumble.

The long-sealed treasure house door was unlocked and opened layer by layer.

From the passage to the interior, it’s like a doomsday shelter.

Apparently this vein has been powered to maintain the treasure house, the ventilation fans are functioning normally, and the air inside the bunker building is not stuffy.

However, compared to the Nakiri family, this lineage has fewer people and does not like to hire servants, so the treasury looks unkempt, with things piled up in a mess without being classified.

Granny Sun said, “Boss Xia, according to the hospitality agreement, you can choose two items to take away.”

“Can I take my time choosing?”

Xia An looked around the bunker space of several hundred square meters.

“As you wish.”

Granny Sun said with a smile: “Ayun, you stay, and the others come out with me.”

“Master, I want to stay too!” Sun Ying raised her hand and said.

Sun Xiang glanced at her junior sister who had changed into a cosplay costume and pursed her lips: “Master, I want to stay too.”

Granny Sun was slightly surprised: “Then A Zheng, A Kang, shall we go?”

“Okay… Master!”

Sun Kang obviously wanted to stay, but when he saw Sun Xiang and Sun Ying glaring at him fiercely, with an intimidating aura that said “don’t join in the fun”, he had to quickly change his words.

then.

Inside the bunker.

Only Xia An and the three sisters Sun Yun, Sun Xiang and Sun Ying were left.

The eldest sister Sun Yun is gentle and mature.

The third girl, Sun Xiang, is tall and beautiful.

The fifth girl, Sun Ying, is full of youthfulness. She is wearing cosplay otaku clothes, revealing her chest and legs, which makes her look more charming.

Xia An was surrounded by flowers, but seemed unaware of it, completely immersed in the ocean of treasures.

“What kind of ancient cookbook is this? A fragment?”

“This small knife is made from the teeth of a level 15 ferocious beast. It looks quite ordinary.”

“Hey, what is this object?”

Before he knew it, Xia An was walking past piles of treasures while using his “Data Eye” to identify them.

Suddenly, his eyes swept across a small table and froze in an instant.

On the small table, there is an object that is more than half a person’s height. It looks like both a refrigerator and a metal cabinet.

On the cabinet door, there are two dragons flying in the clouds carved. They look so lifelike that one can tell at a glance that the craftsmanship is extraordinary and exquisite.

“This is the [Spiritual Storage]. Of course, it’s just a replica.”

Sun Yun’s voice, like the breath of orchid, sounded softly in Xia An’s ears.

“A replica of the legendary kitchenware? A spiritual storage vault?” Xia An was amazed. After approaching, he touched and knocked carefully, and asked, “Is there anything inside? Can I open it and take a look?”

“As you please.” Sun Yun responded with a smile.

There was a click, as if a double-door freezer was opened, and a gust of cold air blew in my face.

Xia An looked at the clean and new interior space that had its own chill, and exclaimed:

“So this is what the interior space of the Spiritual Storage is like.”

At the same time, he quietly retrieved the information from the [Spiritual Storage].

……

[Noble Phantasm: Spiritual Storage (Fake)]

[Grade: Purple]

[Supernatural (weak): Put any food into it and it will remain absolutely fresh for 30 years]

[Note: A replica artifact inlaid with fragments of the authentic Spiritual Storage]

……

Holding grass?

It’s actually of purple quality?

Xia An was hit on the face by the purple light, thinking to himself:

“The replica of the [Ganlang Pot] I got from Dongye Gang was only made with small pieces of the real thing. Its magical power corresponds to the ‘slight’ effect of the blue quality.”

There is no doubt that the fragments of the real thing contained in this replica of the [Spiritual Treasury] are far greater in size and importance than the replica of the [Ganlang Pot] in his hand.

If we have to make an analogy, it is probably as precious as a large-sized replica of the [Tanlang Pot] made from fragments of the base.

“Can it stay absolutely fresh for 30 years?”

Xia An couldn’t believe it.

This [weak] level purple entry is so powerful, then the [medium] level magical items above that must have a shelf life of 100 years, right?
If it is [powerful] and magical, five hundred years or even a thousand years is possible, right?
And complete authentic products can definitely remain fresh forever.

“Can I choose this replica of [Spiritual Treasury]?” Xia An asked directly.

Sun Yun, who was about to introduce the replica in detail, was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, “Of course, this replica has been here for a long time and no one has touched it.”

Sun Ying put her hands on her hips and said with a strange smile: “Kukuku… Boss Xia, are you planning to use this imitation [Spiritual Storage] to store the level 46 ruby ​​crab?”

Sun Yun raised his hand and flicked Sun Ying on the forehead, scolding her: “You are so clever, so smart.”

Xia An smiled and did not hide it:

“That’s right. Although the IGO Association’s fresh-keeping food box is full of high-tech content, the preservation time is strictly limited. Once the time limit is exceeded, the freshness of the food will drop sharply. But this replica of the [Spiritual Storage] is different. It should be able to preserve freshness for 10 or 20 years.”

Hearing this, Sun Xiang couldn’t help but say:

“It will take more than 10 or 20 years.”

“Master used it to preserve a portion of level 90 [Jurassic Unicorn Deer Meat] for nearly 30 years. He took it out a few years ago and asked my eldest sister to try to cook it…”

Snapped!
Before she could finish her words, the eldest sister Sun Yun chopped Sun Xiang on the head with a knife.

“Ouch!” Sun Xiang cried out in pain, “I was wrong, sister, I let it slip!”

Xia An’s eyes twitched:? ?

Among the Sun siblings, except for the eldest sister Sun Yun and the second oldest Sun Zheng, the others seem to be unreliable?
How can you casually say such a secret thing?

Tsk tsk.

Level 90 [Jurassic Unicorn Deer Meat]!
This is already the ceiling for ingredients from the first continent in the food world!
