Chapter 204 Food Technique Fusion (4K)

The energy of Qi forced the food skills to be promoted. Compared with the current use of the energy of the orthodox cell sequence, Xia An seemed to have discovered a new world just from the sensory experience.

The gushing energy flow seemed to contain countless nanorobots, drilling into the deep molecular structure of the crab roe and crab meat. This energy not only allowed Xia An to see through the inside of the food, but also surprised him to find that its efficiency in extinguishing “will” and “filth” was much higher than the false use of Qi energy.

However, Xia An suddenly frowned as if he thought of something.

【Touch of Comfort (Perfection)】

[Evaluation: You will be able to handle fantasy ingredients with quality within the capture level 30 without any flaws.]

“level 30?”

Xia An had a strange expression on his face, and he muttered to himself, “Is there something wrong with this range, or is there something wrong with me?”

At this moment, he was processing the ruby ​​crab ingredients of the 46th level pseudo-scale, but he did not feel overwhelmed at all.

A wave of Sequence 4 cellular energy pushed over and quickly cleared out the filth deep inside the ruby ​​crab ingredients.

But if you think about it carefully, well… this efficiency is actually enhanced and amplified by other food skills?

You know, at this moment, the [Big Massage Hand] is also operating synchronously.

Could it be that the principles and functions of the two are similar, thus achieving the practical effect of 1+1 being greater than 2?
Just as he was thinking.

Ding.

The panel information pops up without warning:

[Detected that the food skills that are running at the same time are very similar, should they be fused? ]

[The estimated fusion and advanced directions are as follows——]

[“Big Massage Hand” (purple/perfect) + “Soothing Touch” (purple/perfect) = “Meridian Soothing Hand” (pseudo-gold/perfect)]

Can you do this?

Xia An’s pupils suddenly contracted, but after a little thought, he guessed that the reason why the food skill fusion mechanism had not been triggered before was probably because the pseudo-use method and he did not activate the food skill at the same time in the same process.

Without thinking, he immediately started the fusion. After thinking about it, Xia An unfolded the advanced information after the completion of [Large Massage Hands] and [Soothing Touch] respectively.

……

【Soothing Touch】

[Condition ①: Requires consumption of 5 food skill points]

[Condition ②: Complete the transformation and evolution of at least one top fantasy life form]

……

【Big Massage Hand】

[Condition ①: Requires consumption of 5 food skill points]

[Condition ②: And at least one severely contaminated top fantasy life or food material is perfectly massaged and decontaminated]

……

Xia An was not worried about condition ①, it was just a matter of completing more objectives and triggering more side quests.

The problem lies in condition ②.

From the different contents and requirements, it is not difficult to see the direction and effect of food skills.

“Farming evolution… The batch of ‘Colorful Hairtail Fish’ I kept at the Nakiri residence has not shown any signs of movement. I guess they are ruined. But that’s normal. I don’t have them around to ‘massage’ them every day.”

Xia An shook his head helplessly, and then continued to think, “As for severely contaminated food or life, the fog and dark areas outside the Monster Country are everywhere.”

no doubt.

After these two food skills evolve and merge, the combination of pseudo-gold + pseudo-gold is very likely to give birth to a truly pure gold-frame food skill.

But for now, we might as well integrate the [Meridian Soothing Hands] first.

In this way, he will have the first high-level food skill that corresponds to Lin’s chef field.

“Fusion!”

Following Xia An’s silent recitation.

shhh-

Data streams shining with a faint golden light intertwined before my eyes, and the meridian maps of ordinary creatures such as cows, pigs, dogs, and a series of imaginary creatures were imprinted in my mind.

In a trance, he seemed to see another self, bending over to save the fallen sika deer, which vomited turbid and corrosive black blood, and after waking up, it knelt down on its front hooves to express its gratitude to him;
He saw himself standing in front of a desk again, with a piece of unknown food surrounded by strong negative energy placed on the chopping board. As he kneaded and guided it with his hands, the negative energy was visibly erased. Soon, a piece of pure food was emitting light…

【Food Technique: Soothing Hands Along the Meridians】

[Grade: Fake Gold]

[Proficiency: Perfect]

[Description: Fusion of food skills, initially combining the gentle soothing of soothing and the guiding and harmonizing of massage, cannot be advanced further]

Seeing that [Big Massage Hands] and [Soothing Touch] did not disappear from the skill bar, Xia An breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy:
“This is perfect. I have retained the possibility of advancing two food skills, and I have also obtained a brand new pseudo-gold food skill!”

He couldn’t wait to apply the [Meridian Soothing Hand] to the cooking process.

Immediate results!

A burst of black mist suddenly emerged from the crab meat with the shell removed in the basin and dissipated in mid-air.

Faintly, whispering and howling sounds were heard in the black fog.

Obviously, these ruby ​​crabs living in the dark area have been contaminated long ago.

“Chef Xia, the oil temperature has reached the range you requested—”

The Shion priestess walked over quickly to remind him, but happened to see a large bowl of crab feet meat emitting black gas.

“This…what kind of food skills did you use to remove pollution to such an extent?” The plump and mature body of the Shion Miko froze, her face full of shock.

“These pollutions are exactly the thorny problems that we, the hunters and cooks living in the Dark Continent, have to face.”

Xia An was puzzled when he heard this: “The shrine maidens should be able to deal with these pollutions, right?”

There was a hint of bitterness in Shion Miko’s tone:

“Yes, but it depends on the person. The candidate priestess can only remove a little bit, and the pseudo-unicorn cooking priestess who have comprehended the meaning of food can remove it at a light or medium level. And people like me who have pseudo-dragon cooking skills can remove most of it, but if you want to complete more than 90% of the filth removal, you have to rely on special food skills.”

Xia An was slightly surprised to hear that Shion the priestess claimed to have pseudo-dragon cooking skills, but then he thought about it and realized that this Utsunomiya Shion was the chief priest of the shrine, so he didn’t find it strange.

After all, Sun Yun, the eldest sister of the Sun family, is a fake dragon. It would be unreasonable for the chief priest and the high priest of the shrine, as the leader of the priestesses, to fail to reach this level.

“Is there no chef in the demon country who can cook a perfect dish with a processing degree of more than 99%?” Xia An’s expression became more and more strange.

Shion Miko shook her head repeatedly: “In the Land of Monsters, even perfect ingredients only need to be processed to 80%. We must consume the remaining 20% ​​of deep pollution and filth.”

“Ordinary residents have been struggling with these pollutions for a long time, and every “feast” is a purification gift from high-level chefs for them.”

Xia An was slightly surprised.

No wonder the Demon Town has been actively recruiting elite chefs from outside. The banquets held regularly are actually purification rituals that benefit all residents.

Whether human or monster, they all need cooks with excellent cooking skills, and they all crave for more delicious delicacies with more obvious and powerful purifying effects.

Then the problem is coming.

Since the food meaning at the pseudo-unicorn level can initially remove pollution, what about the light emission at the true meaning level…

When I take out the glowing dishes, how will you respond? Thinking of this, Xia An couldn’t help but have a series of strange pictures in his mind. The people and monsters in the Monster Village were bathed in the light of the dishes, and they burst into tears…

Uh, stop, stop!

“Sigh–“

The sound of frying crab legs could be heard in the banquet’s main kitchen.

The priestess Ziyuan saw with her own eyes Xia An moving between ten oil pots with ease and grace, and her already restless mood began to stir up waves again.

Soon, ten pans of oil fried out ten plates of fried crab legs that looked like replicas at the same time.

The turmoil in Shion Miko’s heart turned into a raging storm:

“What kind of food technique is this?!”

Xia An was not in a hurry. He first used a secret colander to scoop out the residue in the oil pan and explained, “This is not a food skill, but an ancient skill called Silver Chopsticks Ten Pots Return.”

Silver chopsticks and ten pots returned?
I saw Xia An holding long silver chopsticks, picking up fried crab legs and placing them on the rack to drain the fat, while using a metal colander to scoop out the residue.

Look again at the ten oil pans that are still making sizzling sounds of frying.

Shion Miko simply felt that the name of this ancient skill was extremely appropriate and very fitting for the occasion.

……

at the same time.

The banquet officially began. At the banquet sites on the top and the mountainside, the atmosphere gradually became lively as the serving process transitioned from appetizers and soups to fish dishes.

“It’s almost time for the fourth part – meat and vegetables!”

At the top of the mountain, a handsome man named Yu, with a black crow feather on his back, put down his chopsticks and said.

The white girl in white feather clothes and white hair had already put down her chopsticks and had almost finished the appetizer and bowl of soup on the low lacquered table in front of her.

But she only ate one slice of a plate of pure golden tuna sashimi on ice, the top-grade “big belly” sashimi that melts in your mouth. She looked uninterested and had a very low appetite.

“Shiro, you’ve always hated eating fish so much.”

The third demon king, the eight-tailed fox, was a big sister with a graceful and seductive figure. She finished a plate of sashimi and then exhaled lightly. A look of satisfaction appeared on her soft and charming face:
“Oh, my taste is different from yours. I really like eating fish.”

After saying this, she stretched gracefully, and the exquisitely embroidered dress was so tight that it seemed like it would tear at any moment.

“Besides, this is sashimi cut by Li Yue. Just in the field of fish cooking, I dare say that Li Yue’s attainments are among the top three among all the priestesses and God’s Chosen.”

The white girl nodded slightly: “I am just saving my stomach for the meat dishes in the fourth stage, so I can eat as much as I can.”

The Great Tengu and the Eight-tailed Fox looked at each other:?
6 is still you 6.

Even a demon king like him still has the habit of leaving something in his belly?
Not to mention that their stomachs are as deep as the sea, digestion is just a matter of thought for them.

“Isn’t this new chosen one also a talented person?” The eight-tailed fox named Long commented calmly, “Even if Ban thinks highly of him, he only thinks highly of his potential and future development.”

“At this moment, I don’t think the dishes he presented in this fourth stage are better than the appetizers, soup, and fish feast served by the witches in the first three stages.”

The handsome man smiled and nodded:
“The appetizers are in charge of Chinatsu-chan, the soup is in charge of Mana-chan, and the fish feast is in charge of Liyue-chan.”

“Since becoming a priestess, their hard work and performance in these three aspects have remained stable. And because of the accumulation of years of feasting, it is not an exaggeration to say that their cooking skills are only a hair’s breadth away from Zhenlin’s.”

“How can the new chosen one compare with them?”

At this moment——

Swish!
The pillar of light shot up from the mountainside into the sky, and the deep and thick black fog that had accumulated in the sky was diluted a lot.

“This is…” The handsome man’s face with a gentle smile suddenly froze.

“Where does the light come from?”

Fox Girl Long stared blankly at the black fog in the sky after the beam of light pierced through it, then dissipated within two or three seconds. She then stared at the crack in the sky pierced by the beam of light, and stared at the blue sky and white clouds clearly visible above the crack, her face full of disbelief:
“This damn cloud layer was actually broken through?”

Under the seats of the three demon kings, the big demons and elite demons all stood up.

The fleeting beam of light and the mysterious power it carried made them feel extremely shocked and unbelievable.

The monsters who survived in this dark continent knew that the black clouds above their heads contained great terror. The monsters who did not believe in evil and explored the sky all disappeared and never returned. Perhaps except for the cat god, no monster knew how wide and how high the dead clouds were, and what kind of indescribable existence was lingering inside.

At this time-

Under the astonished gazes of the monsters on the mountain top platform.

From the direction of the shrine, a lucky cat rushed out anxiously, leaping in the air, and rushed towards the source of the light column impatiently.

Upon seeing this, the three demon kings immediately transformed into demon bodies.

Birds, foxes, and great Tengu followed closely behind the lucky cat.

Among the great demons, the Shuten girl was the fastest. She simply threw the lacquer bowl and rushed away with a cloud of wine.

The speed of the other big monsters was only a beat slower, and they all went forward at full speed in the escape light.

“Could it be something like that in the legend?”

An elite demon with white hair and a humanoid raccoon head swallowed and muttered to himself in a daze.

The next moment, Fengli sensed that the breath of the human contractor Dongye Gang was also rapidly heading towards the place where the light column shot into the sky, so he urged the evil wind to go down the mountain as if his butt was on fire.

The remaining elite monsters looked confused.

After all, their contractors were not humans like Higashino Tsuyoshi who came from the Blue Star World, so they naturally had not heard of the legends and stories about luminous cuisine.

……

Main kitchen.

After the light from the cooking broke through the roof and even tore through the black clouds that were who knows how high and thick, an indescribable sacred aura floated in the inner space, as if all the negative energy floating between heaven and earth had been expelled.

The Shion priestess opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared blankly at the ten dishes on the kitchen counter, replaying the holy beam of light in her mind.

“What is this light? Why is my heart filled with happiness and joy?” The Shion Miko asked, her voice trembling as she stroked her chest.

“Ahem~” Xia An coughed lightly, “In my hometown, this kind of food that emits light is called ‘glowing food’.”

“Have you ever heard or seen a saying that food that doesn’t glow is not good food?”

Afterwards, the Shion Miko went berserk and kept repeating, “Food that doesn’t glow is not good food.”

Xia An felt a sense of accomplishment and pulled up the information on the dish panel.

[Dish: Crispy Ruby Crab Legs]

【Answer dish, overall completion rate 99.4%】

[Ingredients details: Ruby crab legs (99.3%), ruby ​​crab roe (99.2%), golden wheat (100%)]

[Entries/Features: Luminescence (purple), Harmony (great success), Hellfire (pseudo-gold), Extreme Fire (pseudo-gold), Food and Morality Market Fireworks (green), Meridian Soothing Hand (pseudo-gold)]

[Such a highly completed sub-perfect dish, and such a good use of the filthy ingredients in the land of monsters. Even the original author of the recipe, Tang Meijun, would praise your cooking skills if she came.]

Xia An finished reading the information happily.

At this moment, a strong and terrifying breath came from the direction of the kitchen door.

“Meow~~” An excited lucky cat rushed to the kitchen counter and said, “Where is the glowing food? Bring it to me now!”
