Chapter 65

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, inside one after another towering mechanical camps surrounded by towers and artillery towers, in the bustling cooking scene, wisps of enviable spirit food fragrance condensed into misty clouds, drifting in all directions.

Nowadays, this can also be considered a scene.

Everyone knows that the City Lord's Mansion has excellent treatment, especially those exploration teams, which even specifically invited private chefs to cook spirit food and medicinal cuisine for them.

At the departure time every morning, the spirit chefs of each camp begin to prepare spirit food materials, attracting quite a few idle mortals to come close to smell the fragrance. Similar scenes also often appear outside large restaurants like Garuda and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

The Ninth Exploration Team, all gathered at the camp long table.

Looking expectantly at the place inside the camp, which was arranged extremely luxuriously and trendy, looking like both a mechanical kitchen and a special pill room, wisps of fragrance wrapped in rich medicinal energy drifted out from inside, making Zhan Kui, Luo Sheng, and Mi Wuniang—all six of them—couldn't help but secrete saliva, their stomachs rumbling endlessly.

For them, private spirit food chefs are not rare, and they can afford the fourth or even fifth floors of large restaurants.

But because Li Yu added medicinal cuisine attributes, he was special, and the six of them were even more expectant.

Although many spirit foods also have many spiritual effects, including "healing," they cannot be compared with tailor-made medicinal cuisine.

As for spirit pills and wonderful medicines?

There are also, but they are all low-level.

High-level, easy-to-use spirit pills are extremely rare and are usually eaten by those who refine them.

Giving them to others to eat, the effect is greatly reduced, not to mention the risks.

Especially the Compassionate Heart Pill and Skinning Mystic Pill that Li Yu refined privately—if others ate them, they would alienate and die on the spot.

"It's coming!"

Accompanied by this shout, a total of six items penetrated the fragrant mist and landed accurately in front of the six people.

Tailor-made, naturally each was different.

The six people each scanned them, seeing wine, powder, porridge, canned food, fish sashimi, and medicine pills.

Team Captain Zhan Kui had the most impatient temperament, and he was also addicted to drinking. While the other five were still looking, he had already grabbed a bottle of liquid that exuded a strong wine fragrance and was as scarlet as blood in front of him, and poured it into his mouth.

Li Yu, who had just come out of the medicinal cuisine room, didn't even have time to open his mouth to introduce it.

However, it seemed that he didn't need to say it. The next moment, the medicinal effect took effect on the spot.

He only saw "Zhan Kui's" body gradually turning red, the pores all over his body opening, and wisps of black-red stench overflowing. Clearly, the malignant energy remaining in his body was being expelled.

And what was even more astonishing was that the dense, crisscrossing scars on his face that had existed for who knows how many years also began to show signs of healing.

But this scene, the numbness and itching coming from his face, made Zhan Kui seem to have encountered some change. That terrifying body trembled slightly, and he immediately stopped, spitting out the wine he was about to swallow with a pfft.

Subsequently, he turned his head violently, his eyes red, containing blood and tears, his face distorted, and he stared at Li Yu with a violent gaze that wanted to choose someone to devour.

The terrifying pressure of a Sequence 7, and also the most skilled at fighting and combat Blood God pathway Sequence 7, was about to drown him in a storm.

"You... what did you do?"

"The scars on my face cannot disappear."

Even if he was slow, Li Yu guessed that there was some secret hidden in this.

Without any hesitation, he said quickly: "The medicinal effect is temporary. One mouthful of wine lasts for ten breaths. The malignant energy is permanently expelled, but the original old injuries will recover. This is also a side effect."

When this came out, Zhan Kui calmed down.

Silently waiting for ten breaths, sure enough, the scars that were about to heal turned back visibly to the naked eye.

Of course, he had to experience the pain of the scars turning over again.

One mouthful of wine and the scars heal... the medicinal effect ends and they turn back again... equivalent to healing and tearing?

This kind of side effect, it must be said, is very torturous.

If it were anyone else, even if Li Yu's blood wine was this fragrant and the medicinal effect was this good, they would have turned against him in disgust.

But Zhan Kui!

Unexpectedly, after being stunned for a moment, he revealed a complex expression that was hard to describe.

He looked regretfully at the spilled blood wine on the ground, then began to slowly taste the remaining wine while asking:

"Brother Li, what is this wine called?"

"This wine is called 【Blood Sea Original Pulp】, brewed from a variety of strong spirits, plus a large amount of flesh and blood essence, and then ripened with my medicinal cuisine technique."

"After taking it, it can stimulate the boiling of qi and blood in the body, accelerate the operation of all organs, expel malignant energy, exempt from various negative effects, and also possess healing spiritual effects. And one mouthful of wine is equivalent to one catty of grain, combining hunger relief, replenishment, and amplification. It can be considered one of my most satisfied medicinal cuisine works, and it is also extremely suitable for the captain's physical condition."

"As for the side effects, I have already said them just now."

"If the captain feels that there is any place in this wine that needs adjustment, you can also say it directly."

Hearing the last sentence, Zhan Kui touched his ugly face that was starting to tear again and dripping with blood, his eyes still showing the complex look mixed with regret and violence.

Subsequently, he sighed and said bluntly:

"Back then, I was a Sequence 8 【Soldier】 of the Red God Sect. In order to advance to Sequence 7 【Battle Soldier】, I rashly took more than a dozen life-and-death brothers into the battlefield, and in the end, I harmed them all without one left."

"I fell to the Blood God Sect because of this and perfectly advanced to Sequence 7 Blood Rider. These scars on my face are a memorial from that time, and also my ritual anchor."

"So, they cannot recover." "Your wine is very good. Every mouthful I drink, the scars heal and tear, which makes me think of the scene back then... I like it very much. Help me brew a hundred jars first. Just report whatever you need."

Zhan Kui said it lightly.

But including Li Yu, the few people all heard the thrill and heart-tearing hidden in this secret.

From his simple expression: it seems that Zhan Kui deliberately harmed a group of brothers so that he could advance to Sequence 7.

"Alignment shift, direct fall, seamlessly connecting from the Red God Sect's Sequence 7 to the Blood God Sequence 7, and still perfectly jumping sequences?"

"Good fellow!"

"Red God and Blood God, wouldn't they be two sides of the same body?"

"This captain is estimated to be unable to let go of the changes back then, so he was so surprised when he got my wine, wanting to make himself feel regret again and again, tearing open the scars buried in his heart for many years."

"But torturing yourself like this, is it helpful for advancing to Sequence 6? Or is it a counter-effect?"

Li Yu could guess the front part.

=9+Shu_Ba

But he couldn't think of the answer to the last doubt.

Although Zhan Kui looks like a team captain who is very loyal and has a tragic past.

But here, it is Wanfu City.

Psychological perverts are everywhere, and things are false and true. Unless Li Yu opens the bubble, otherwise just looking and listening, he can't see through that layer of human heart and belly.

However, Li Yu's self-definition is very clear: just a chef.

Why think so much?

Turning his head, he looked at the other five people.

Perhaps because of Zhan Kui's lesson, they didn't act rashly, but looked at Li Yu with expectation, waiting for him to introduce them one by one.

"Brother Luo Sheng, this plate of medicine powder in front of you is called 【Cold Food Immortal-Ascension Powder】. The main recipe is still modified from that Immortal-Ascension Soup. On the original basis, I added many medicinal herbs beneficial to the heart and soul."

"After taking it, it can quickly replenish your exhausted heart and soul power, and at the same time, there is a chance for you to enter an epiphany state like ascending to immortality, obtaining additional amplification."

"In addition, this Immortal-Ascension Powder, as long as you take a small part and mix it with water into a paste, it can be taken internally to relieve hunger, or applied externally to heal wounds."

"There are also side effects. When the medicinal effect fades, you will fall into a period of fanaticism, or some unseemly behavior may appear."

After Li Yu finished speaking, the two-headed old man named Luo Sheng immediately became interested.

He immediately dipped a little with his finger and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, his whole person seemed to have taken some immortal medicine, entering an extremely comfortable state.

Even on that ugly head, the distorted and crowded facial features relaxed a bit.

Such vivid two examples!

Enough to prove that Li Yu, this medicinal cuisine spirit chef, is excellent, and really tailor-made special medicinal cuisine according to their unique conditions.

The remaining four people were even more expectant.

Li Yu didn't let them down either, speaking one after another, introducing them one by one:

"Fellow Daoist Sang Zhu, the medicinal cuisine in front of you is called 【Spirit-Infused Mystic Porridge】, which I boiled by collecting the organs and flesh of various mystic objects that are rich in spiritual infusion. The taste is extremely delicious."

"After taking it, it can replenish spiritual infusion and make your body stained with the aura of other mystic objects, which can achieve a masking and invisibility effect in the forbidden area."

"Similarly, the hunger-relieving effect is also strong. One mouthful of porridge can make you not hungry for a day."

"As for the side effects, there is a chance that some redundant organs will grow on your body, such as a mystic dragon's tail, or the hair of a mystic mountain demon. However, after the medicinal effect fades, these redundant organs will also degenerate and disappear on their own."

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, this medicinal cuisine for you is called 【Stinky Canned Food】, inside which I extracted the essence of various filthy things, melted it into my Longevity-Nurturing Soup, and then pressed it into a tin can."

"It's not that I, Li Yu, am bragging, but its taste, even if it's not the number one stink in Wanfu City, can at least enter the top ten."

"Of course, for your convenience to take it in the forbidden area, you only need to open a small hole to suck the canned soup, and there will never be any smell leaking out. Only you can enjoy it alone."

"Stinky is stinky, but the effect of nurturing and expelling poison is also extraordinary."

"As for the side effects?"

"It has some addictiveness. If you drink too much, I'm afraid you will miss it every few days."
