Chapter 107: The Garuda Blade and the Immortal Treasure Pot: Demon Beast Cuisine Moves the Heart (Third Update, Request Subscription)

Hearing the notification, Chihara Airu exhaled in relief.

"Good there's feedback—otherwise, I'd have gotten someone else's good stuff for nothing."

She opened the chat group.

Xiao Wu: "I'm a spirit beast in human form, and yet I can cultivate? How amazing."

Xiao Wu: "Thank you, Brother Taixuan. My current strength should surpass even so-called gods—I no longer need to worry about my identity."

Chihara Airu: "Congratulations! I've also succeeded in cultivation—I finally haven't wasted Brother Taixuan's divine art."

Xiong Ba: "Thank goodness the first two scrolls weren't expensive—I could afford them. After switching to the Primordial Qi Seal, I feel stronger than I ever was in the Land Immortal realm."

Ye Hei: "I'm jealous—too bad I don't have any points yet!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Don't rush—you'll have points soon. By the way, do you need food? Ask someone in the group to send you some. Nobody here charges for these things."

As he spoke, Zhang Taixuan collected the two strands of world origin gifted to him.

He could sever his Dao right now without issue.

Ye Hei: "If possible, send over some bread and instant noodles."

Su Xiao: "Sure, wait a moment—I've got plenty of snacks at home."

Zhang Taixuan: "Eating snacks every day at home? Aren't you afraid you'll turn into a fat otaku?"

Su Xiao: "Hmph, I'm a fairy—how could I get fat? 【Image】 Isn't this cute?"

Su Xiao: "【Red Packet】 Sent a few boxes—make do with them. Once you reach Beidou, you won't have to worry about this anymore."

Ye Hei: "Thanks—I'll treat everyone to something good when I get the chance!"

Su Xiao: "See? Ye Hei's sweet-talking. @Zhang Taixuan"

Zhang Taixuan: "【Speechless】 Why are you tagging me again?"

Su Xiao: "Whatever—I've never tasted anything good from the fantasy world yet. Like roasted Jin Wu or grilled Fenghuang!"

Huang Rong: "This… Xiao Xiao, are you not awake? Those are mythological things!"

Lin Fengjiao: "Exactly—eating such things? I wouldn't even dare dream of it!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Please spare me. With my current strength, going after Fenghuang or Jin Wu? That's asking for death."

Zhang Taixuan: "But I can treat you to meat from great demons. Once Ye Hei and the others are safe, I'll invite you over for a feast."

Su Xiao: "Yay!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Are you really that excited? It's just demon meat—you've got plenty of demons in your world, right?"

Su Xiao: "It's different! Our world's demons are still weak. Plus, Country 283 hasn't figured out how to separate or purify demonic energy. Eating demon beasts raw makes people sick."

Lin Fengjiao: "Demonic energy is extremely violent. If a human absorbs too much, they risk qi deviation—ordinary people truly can't eat this stuff."

Zhang Taixuan: "What's hard about that? Wait a moment."

Su Xiao: "You can solve this too?"

Su Xiao: "With the demonic resurgence, our livestock industry has been devastated. Even farmed pigs now carry demonic energy in their meat. If you can solve this, the whole nation will thank you!"

Lin Fengjiao: "If we personally removed the demonic energy, it wouldn't be too difficult. But no matter how powerful we are, how much can we remove at once? For the whole country, it's just a drop in the ocean!"

Xiong Ba: "So Master Taixuan must create a method usable by ordinary people! That's impossible! I just bought a demon beast and tried—it's fused with the meat. Ordinary people couldn't possibly separate them."

Yotsuya Miko: "I trust Master Taixuan—if he says he can, then it's possible."

Huang Rong: "Great minds think alike."

Kasumigaoka Uta: "I also trust Master Taixuan—he's already created countless miracles."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "+1"

Chihara Airu: "+1"

Miyamizu Miko: "+1"

……

Su Xiao: "Well, if Brother Taixuan says it's possible, then it is. Let's just wait and see."

Su Xiao: "To be honest, demon meat really is delicious. If we could process it easily, everyone would have a feast from now on. @Huang Rong, when can we taste your cooking?"

Huang Rong: "Sure. I'll buy a demon beast, process it, and see just how delicious this demon meat of yours really is."

Xiao Wu: "【Shivering】"

Yotsuya Miko: "Xiao Wu, don't be afraid—we're not evil. Those demons were captured because they harmed humans. You're so kind—we'd never hurt you."

Lin Fengjiao: "Exactly."

Yue Buqun: "We're not that low-class."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Taoism teaches that enlightenment is for all—Xiao Wu's spirit beast nature is no issue."

Xiao Wu: "Thank you all!"

Fantasy world.

Zhang Taixuan opened the Shangcheng and quickly selected a white-scaled snake.

"Sss…"

The next moment, a one-zhang-long white snake appeared in his hand; the instant it materialized, it hissed and lunged at Zhang Taixuan with hostility.

"A mere lowly (acei) demon, how dare you act boldly before me?"

Zhang Taixuan smiled lightly, not even moving his hand—his powerful aura flashed and vanished.

The next instant, the white-scaled snake drooped like a limp noodle.

It had fainted from sheer terror.

Seeing this, Zhang Taixuan turned his focus inward, drawing out a wisp of demonic energy and studying it.

【You have comprehended demonic energy—you now understand it is merely a special form of spiritual energy. With the right method, it can be transformed back into spiritual power, making demon meat even more nourishing.】

【You have comprehended the Talisman of Demon Subjugation and Purification—inspired by it, you have created the Reverse Demonic Energy to Spiritual Power Talisman!】

【Based on the Reverse Talisman and Purification Talisman, you created the Garuda Knife, which can transform the demonic energy within a beast's body into spiritual power, enhancing its flavor and nutritional value to a higher level. This knife also purges the bacteria and parasites contained in the beast's meat, bringing the meat to its peak quality.】

【After deep contemplation and drawing from the art of alchemy, you created unique flames, constant-temperature, and harmonizing runes exclusive to the culinary path.】

【Using the flames, constant-temperature, and harmonizing runes, you devised the method to forge the Immortal Delicacy Pot. This pot automatically draws in pre-cut ingredients and seasonings, cooking them precisely according to their properties to produce exquisite dishes.】

In a moment, the desired items were created.

Zhang Taixuan bought more black iron and forged the Garuda Knife and the Immortal Delicacy Pot, making ten of each.

He named the knife Garuda, naturally as an homage to his childhood culinary anime—Little Chef.

Raising the knife, he gazed at the white-scaled snake and gave it a light slash, sending it straight to Guixi.

Then came the dissection.

Soon, a white-scaled snake ten feet long was fully disassembled.

The snake meat, originally infused with demonic energy and tinged faintly black, was now transformed by the Garuda Knife into spiritual energy; its texture visibly improved, ultimately becoming crystal-clear and translucent, utterly enticing to behold.

"At this point, even eating it raw would be fine."

After all, the Garuda Knife had already eradicated all parasites and bacteria from the snake meat.

This stuff was cleaner than clean could be.

Yet Zhang Taixuan had never eaten such a thing, and had no intention of trying it.

With a thought, the Immortal Delicacy Pot activated on its own.

From afar, a spring of water was drawn over; salt, pepper, and other seasonings placed nearby were also sucked in, converging into the pot.

In but a moment, steam rose from the pot, and a mouthwatering aroma spread out.

"So fragrant!" Zhang Taixuan praised. "This thing is truly an essential gadget for the lazy."

The only pity was that the Garuda Knife couldn't autonomously process ingredients; otherwise, cooking would be even simpler.

When the snake meat was fully cooked, Zhang Taixuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth—he felt the meat impossibly tender, while a refreshing, soul-penetrating fragrance surged straight to his mind, filling him with inexplicable joy.

"Delicious!"

"This is no longer ordinary food. It's the culinary Dao of Little Chef and Food Wars."

"After eating this, how could I ever eat other delicacies again?"

He drank another bowl of snake soup and felt his entire body relaxed and blissful.

In but a moment, he had devoured the entire ten-foot-long snake.
