Chapter 190: Promoted to Sword Dance Poet! Dance of the Storm

Specimens and medicine bottles are placed in the wall cabinets, and the air is filled with the scent of herbs.

On the alchemy table, the materials in the crucible were boiled under a fierce fire and refined into a mixture... This was Megan's impression of the scene of making potions.

However, at this moment.

Megan stood in the kitchen where the fire was burning brightly, watching Yeats washing the materials with a slightly strange expression on her face.

How can brewing potions be confused with cooking food?

Even if Ye Zhi had knowledge of food, how could he make a real sea swallow potion in the kitchen!

However, Megan looked at Yeats with a determined face, and the words of dissuasion came to her lips, but were swallowed back.

"Ye Zhi... must be just joking with me."

"He knows that there are many taboos in refining potions. If the materials are not handled properly, they will all be ruined. Even when using an alchemical crucible, one must be cautious."

"He can't be so crude as to throw the precious potion ingredients directly into the cauldron..."

While Megan was pondering, Yeats threw the thundering sea swallowtail into a large pot made of snake-necked turtle shells and began to blanch it to remove the fishy smell.

He actually started cooking! Megan was stunned.

Immediately, Ye Zhi summoned the fish of wisdom from the magical pet plane.

This salmon with rainbow scales seems to mistake the air for sea water, and it occasionally flicks its tail and swims in the air.

Ye Zhi said, "Feitan, to be honest, I want to borrow something from you."

"What?"

"I'll lend you the fish oil so that I can make the potion." Ye Zhi said with a grin.

Feitan and Megan's eyes widened at the same time.

This request was really beyond common sense. Megan's elegant and beautiful face had a complicated expression as she dissuaded him:

"Yeats... the potion formula cannot be changed."

"Even if the fish oil from the fish of wisdom is an excellent magical material, adding it to the potion will only make the medicine lose its effect completely!"

Feitan nodded and agreed:

"I must remind you that the oil on my body will make people feel lost and bitter. Even if it is used to make potions, the result will be unpalatable in the end."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "But Feitan, have you forgotten that the Salmon Knight once tasted your dripping fat and found it quite delicious?"

Fei Tan was stunned, and indeed remembered this matter, only to hear Ye Zhi continue:

"This is because, with the help of high temperature and proper processing, the bitter fish oil will become a rare seasoning oil!"

This statement was the first time even Megan, who was used to seeing the wind and waves, heard it. She looked at Fei Tan in surprise: "Fish of Wisdom, is there really such a thing?"

Fei Tan was stunned for a long time, and stammered: "Maybe..."

"My memory is not very good and I have forgotten many things," it added.

There is no point in saying more, Ye Zhi started to cook the sea swallowtail soup in front of Feitan and Megan.

The method is similar to that of fish tail soup, which is to fry first and then boil. Following Yeats' instructions, Feitan, with a curious attitude, swayed his body and put fish oil into the pot.

Immediately, Yeats's palms lit up with flames, turning the cauldron and applying heat to the edge of the tortoise shell to control the temperature inside the cauldron.

The aroma gradually dissipated, and Feitan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"My oil... is quite fragrant." Feitan said to himself.

Gray slurped her saliva and subconsciously glanced at Feitan, only to see that Feitan was quite calm. He said, "I had a friend before, and he also wanted to eat me, but now he has gone to meet the goddess of death."

"Hehe." Gray smiled sheepishly.

This guy is really right. The last salmon knight who wanted to eat Fetan has been dead for hundreds of years! Ye Zhi began to concentrate on controlling the heat and frying the Thunder Swallowtail and Thunder Bluff Purple Root together.

Megan was watching Yeats's operation with a frown on her face, as she felt that this student was unorthodox and treated the potion too lightly.

But gradually, Megan's brows relaxed and her eyes were replaced by a hint of surprise.

Megan was surprised to find that Ye Zhi's control of the temperature, the timing of adding ingredients, and even the key steps of blending magic power were almost the same as those of a potion master in making potions! The more she watched, the more shocked Megan became... There are indeed similarities between a caterer and a potion master, and their essence is the processing and blending of ingredients.

But when it comes to practice, if an elite food chef is asked to make the sea swallow potion, he will only scratch his head and be at a loss.

Unless, this is a master of food, who also has corresponding knowledge in alchemy, he can use the sixth-ring level of food attainment to refine the third-ring petrel potion.

But... Ye Zhi is so young, how could he be a master food chef?

Yeats scooped up his palms, and the sweet and clear Minerva water gushed out from his palms, and he added it to the cauldron.

The milky white soup in the big pot was bubbling. Ye Zhi couldn't help but smile as she smelled the aroma.

As we all know, the three major means of career advancement are potions, prayers, and rituals.

Ye Zhi used the seven-ring master-level food-feeding method to replace the magic potion.

Now you don't have to taste the unpalatable potion, just drink this [Thundering Petrel Soup] and you can become a Sword Dance Poet!

Sensing the pervasive scent of potion, Megan's brows furrowed again, a glimmer of magic flashed across her eyes, and she opened her mana vision, observing the flickering magic spots on the various ingredients in the cauldron.

A look of surprise flashed across her face... The medicinal properties of the various ingredients not only did not disappear, but also continued to blend as Ye Zhi cooked! Is the Haiyan potion really going to be made? Fei Tan's eyes also flashed with confusion, and he murmured: "Master? No... How is this possible? Can the means of feasting reach this level?"

Gray smiled happily upon seeing this.

Now, even the fish of wisdom can’t be controlled!

Half an hour later, Ye Zhi turned off the fire and served the [Thunder Sea Swallowtail Soup] with the aroma of fish soup. Ye Zhi then chopped the vanilla leaves into small pieces and sprinkled them on the soup to finish it.

【Thunder Swallowtail Soup: 3 stars. Similar to the soup made with Swallow Magic Potion, the soup is milky white, fragrant and delicious. The efficacy is improved on the basis of Swallow Magic Potion, and it can be promoted without the magic potion digestion process.】

"This... this soup seems like a magic potion?" Megan sensed the magical aura lingering around the soup and felt incredible.

The ingredients in this world actually have magic power, but it is very small. The essence of cooking, like alchemy, is the harmonization of magic power.

In the process of cooking food, mana loss is inevitable. The food chef can reduce the mana loss and give the food a buff effect.

The more powerful the food chef, the more obvious the beneficial effect of the food he cooks. Megan also admits that the food chef has irreplaceable auxiliary value.

However, this was the first time Megan had seen someone like Ye Zhi who could cook potion ingredients into delicious dishes! "Will it really work?" The fish of wisdom stared at Ye Zhi, eager to know the effect of the medicine, and asked, "Why don't you try it now?"

Yeats nodded and was about to pick up the spoon when Gray shouted:

"Wait! I have to test the poison for the lord first!"

"No need for that this time." Ye Zhi smiled, "I'll make you fish soup tonight."

Gray's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, as if her secret thoughts had been exposed. She nodded and said, "Then next time... I'll test the poison for you next time!"

Under the nervous and expectant gaze of the crowd, Ye Zhi sipped the soup and nodded from time to time.

Fish oil is extremely delicious in itself, and the fried thunderbird tail and purple root produce a wonderful reaction, with an aroma like roasted pigeon with vanilla. Paired with sweet spring water, there is no need to add salt, fish sauce or other seasonings.

Great flavor, no need for more salt!

When Ye Zhi took the soup, he clearly felt ripples in his soul, which was a sign of career advancement.

So he struck while the iron was hot and drank the soup. The way of the bard suddenly broke through. With the combination of soul power and professional way, Ye Zhi officially became a three-ring extraordinary person! The familiar prompt sound rang again in his ears.

[You have been promoted to a three-ring sword dancing poet! ]

[You have learned new spells, blessings, and talents! ]

A faint divine aura permeated the kitchen. Megan was surprised and said, "Is there really a breakthrough?"

Feitan's eyes widened, unable to understand: "Even if food can have an effect similar to that of a potion, why don't you need to go through the [digestion] step?"

The higher the level of the potion, the easier it is for the power to be absorbed by the extraordinary person, and the easier it is to digest.

Logically speaking, even if Ye Zhi took the advanced petrel potion, it would take at least a week to be promoted to Sword Dance Poet.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

However, Ye Zhi was promoted on the spot, which completely overturned Feitan’s cognition over the past few hundred years!

"Maybe... the food is easier to absorb." Ye Zhi said.

Megan took a deep breath.

"No, Ye Zhi, I can see that you have at least mastered the art of food preparation, so you can make potions by cooking food..."

Megan looked at Ye Zhi as if she could see through people's hearts, and said, "I should, am I right?"

Ye Zhi thought for a moment, nodded, and admitted it generously.

Being chosen by both gods, he was already a once-in-a-millennium talent. His master-level attainments in food feasting could be said to be a blessing from the goddess of wisdom, Minerva.

Megan did not ask about the origin of Ye Zhi's ability, but sighed in her heart.

Whether it is food or magic potion, it can help the extraordinary people improve...

With this master-level food feasting accomplishment, coupled with his status as the co-chosen one of the two gods, Ye Zhi is bound to become the youngest six-ring master in history! "The Mage Guild must also pay more attention to his safety..." Megan thought, and suddenly a feeling of regret flashed through her heart. She sighed, "It's still a step too late. Candela took Ye Zhi as his apprentice first!"

Yeats actually had another trick up his sleeve... His real attainments in food feasting were at the master level, unique in the world.

By analogy, the Black Knight, as the Goddess of Strategy, possesses grandmaster-level skills in King’s Chess, and her grandmaster-level status is evident.

Perhaps, only the God of Food mentioned by the Black Knight could surpass Yeats in attainments in food...but it is hard to say whether this god is still alive.

"With your level of food, you can even accept disciples in the Food Association, Ye Zhi." Megan smiled slightly.

Ye Zhi: "Accepting a disciple?"

"Being a food chef is a profession that places great emphasis on the master-disciple relationship. An apprentice often has to follow the master for several years." Megan smiled, "The headquarters of the Food Chef Association is located in Fenglu, the capital of Roland. You can sometimes see their emblem in other cities - a big pot as its emblem."

Ye Zhi couldn't help but think of the magical pot used to cook the divine pig that the Black Knight had mentioned.

"In the plot, the Food Association seems to have a sealed cauldron. Could it be the legendary pot?"

Ye Zhi stroked his chin and secretly took note of this information.

The Kingdom of Roland, located in the south of the Kingdom of Golden Lion, is world-famous for its culture of knights and duels. Its cuisine is also renowned, and it is the kingdom where the most gourmet chefs gather.

Megan chatted with Yeats for a while about the precautions after taking the potion, then stood up to say goodbye, wondering in her heart... It was hard to say whether these matters were applicable to Yeats.

Ye Zhi opened the panel to check the new abilities he gained after the promotion.

For the Bard class, drinking the Nightingale Potion to become a second-level bard, and then drinking the Petrel Potion to become a Sword Dancer, is a very common route choice.

The Nightingale Potion can grant the "Gift - Nightingale Voice".

Drinking the [Sea Swallow Potion] to advance can provide the bard with a special ability called "Rain Dance".

This ability can increase the speed of the Sword Dancing Poet in rainy environments, which is a very practical ability in the rainy and foggy Golden Lion Kingdom.

Yeats improved the formula of the potion, and with the help of the Fountain of Minerva and the fish oil of wisdom, the effect of the potion was effectively enhanced.

The ability of 'Rain Dance' has also been replaced by 'Storm Dance'.

[Talent·Dance of the Storm: You are like a petrel flying in a storm, and your abilities in severe weather such as thunderstorms, storms, and heavy snow are comprehensively improved.]

Compared to the 'Rain Dance' talent which can only take effect on rainy days, the 'Storm Dance' talent is undoubtedly more advantageous.

"It will take effect as long as there is bad weather..."

Ye Zhi rubbed his chin: "Then I can even let Snow Owl use Ice Storm to artificially create bad weather, and then trigger this talent!"

It is worth mentioning that Snow Owl has fully mastered the spells recorded on the four-ring scroll 'Ice Storm'.

Moreover, under the guidance of this "magician" wearing a mentor's hat and single-sided glasses, the Snow Leopard has also successfully mastered the three-ring thunder-summoning technique.

After the promotion, Ye Zhi also mastered a new spell called "Immobilization" and the combat skill "Blade Dance".

[Immobilize: Second level enchantment. You designate a visible creature within the casting range. If the target fails the spell saving throw, it will be paralyzed for the duration of the spell. Upgrade: additional target.]

The immobilization technique can even be released in conjunction with the 'Thousand Illusion Eyes' to further enhance Ye Zhi's control ability!

“I’ve seen the episode about being frozen.”

Yeats complained: "Then he went to pick peaches."

The combat skill 'Blade Dance' is a common combat skill of the Sword Dance Poet. It can quickly perform two consecutive attacks and temporarily increase the speed of the player.

By combining opponent analysis, tidal movements, and flash, one can perform gorgeous sword skills of four sword strikes per second, causing terrifying damage.

"After using the Thousand Illusions Eyes to freeze them, use 'Blade Dance' to destroy four in one second."

Yeats thought to himself:

"Sharp sword, sharp eyes!"

The Sword Poet has the ability of a "duelist" that other professions do not have, and his ability in single combat will be improved.

This ability can also absorb years of duel experience and upgrade to 'Talent·Duel Master'.

Ye Zhi planned to test the improvement he had gained after the promotion and remembered the information he had obtained from the Ghost Society.

In a valley not far from Jianhe University, thunderstorms have occurred frequently recently, and it is rumored that they are caused by a pterosaur.

"Just use it to test the sword!"
