hiss……
Upon hearing Qingyou's words, Qiye Ningyue and the others all gasped in shock.
At that moment, the fear of being dominated by the culinary disaster resurfaced in their minds.
Healthy vegetable juice, sweet tea, and soy milk are all minor things.
Dying with eyes wide open is truly thrilling!
The only person capable of making so many of them feel a sense of foreboding is probably Junior Uncle.
If Ye Feng knew what they were thinking, he would definitely rebuke them sternly.
Then loudly proclaim, "I didn't! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
I'm just a cook, it's perfectly reasonable for me to cook, right?
Although this dish looks a bit ugly, and the ingredients are a bit ugly... well, although the ingredients for this dish are ugly to the extreme.
But you can't ignore his outstanding attributes just because of his appearance.
This brings us to the Exploding Sky Gang.
They had worked hard to collect this ingredient.
Ye Feng was initially conflicted upon seeing the little black thing.
The main problem is that there aren't many people who can handle this thing.
But after meeting with Liang Xicai, Ye Feng made up his mind.
This little black thing would certainly be familiar to people from Guangdong province on Earth.
This is also an ingredient in a notorious dark cuisine dish in their area.
Water cockroaches, scientifically known as water beetles, are aquatic insects that are relatively large, measuring 3.5 to 4 centimeters in length.
Oval, flat, glossy, some species have stripes or dots.
It is entirely black, with yellow edges on the sheath and a greenish sheen in the black parts.
The compound eyes are located at the back of the head, close to the anterior edge of the chest.
The fore and middle coxae are small, while the hind feet are well-developed, laterally flattened like paddles, and covered with long hair. The coxae are wide and touch each other, and the tarsi have 5 segments, which are suitable for swimming.
It looks somewhat like a large sunflower seed, so when eating it, some people say they are "eating sunflower seeds".
The water cockroaches in this cultivation world are slightly different from those on Earth.
They generally live in ponds on Earth and eat small fish and shrimp.
The water cockroaches of this cultivation world live in the sea and eat all kinds of ferocious sea beasts.
With their combined strength, even powerful sharks and whales wouldn't be enough for them to devour.
With this kind of diet, the sea cockroach's strength improved rapidly, and it has been directly rated as a 4-star ingredient in the food encyclopedia!
Keep in mind that other 4-star items are counted in single digits, but for Sea Melon Seeds... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's counted in the hundreds of thousands.
When Boss Xu of the Exploding Sky Gang brought it to Ye Feng, the sight of a massive, dark mass of at least hundreds of thousands of insects crawling around gave even Ye Feng goosebumps.
Old Xu was shivering all over, and only after eating a simple meal specially prepared by Ye Feng did he feel better.
These sea cockroaches were exactly the kind of feast Ye Feng was preparing for his disciples!
This little thing doesn't need any special treatment; just throw it in the pot after a few rounds of purification spells.
Ye Feng also thoughtfully prepared various flavors for his disciples to choose from.
Salt and pepper, stir-fried with chili, garlic, thirteen-spice, cumin...
In short, we try our best to cater to the tastes of each disciple.
After finishing with all the sea cockroaches, Ye Feng waved his hand and removed the barrier.
With a flash, Ye Feng appeared in the main hall.
Yun Zhongzi, seeing Ye Feng's sudden appearance, didn't think much of it and asked with a smile, "Junior Brother, are you free today? It's rare to see you come to the main hall. Is there something you need?"
Ye Feng chuckled and leaned closer to Yun Zhongzi, saying, "Senior Brother Yun, I have something good here that can enhance the strength of all the disciples in the sect. Have you also sensed a dangerous aura approaching lately?"
Yun Zhongzi nodded and said solemnly, "Just recently I felt a hostility directed at me, but I don't know why, after divining for a long time, I actually benefited in the end."
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "The art of divination is just a minor art; it's best to take it with a grain of salt and not to take it too seriously."
Nodding, Yun Zhongzi said, "That's true. What was that treasure that Junior Brother just mentioned that can enhance the cultivation of the entire sect? Is it also a delicacy?"
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Senior brother is right. A while ago, Boss Xu from the Exploding Sky Gang brought me back a kind of ingredient. The ingredient is of very high quality and there is a lot of it. It can even satisfy the needs of all the disciples in the sect."
"oh?"
Yun Zhongzi's interest was immediately piqued.
You should view things from a perspective that corresponds to your position.
After becoming the sect leader, his focus was no longer limited to improving his own strength.
For him, the sect leader, the best treasure is one that is specifically designed for the entire sect.
Ye Feng mysteriously took out a jade slip, from which he took out a black, melon seed-like object and handed it to Yun Zhongzi.
Yun Zhongzi reached out and took it, examining it closely.
"This... looks like an insect? Does it have any special effects?"
"The effect of this food is very simple and straightforward. After eating it, it will directly increase your cultivation level, up to one level. Of course, it cannot break through to the next realm."
Yun Zhongzi nodded in agreement; the effect was indeed quite good.
The disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect are all exceptionally talented. If their tedious progression through ranks could be shortened, allowing them to spend more time seeking breakthroughs in their realms, it would be truly beneficial for them.
Yun Zhongzi held the black worm in his hand and muttered to himself:
"This little thing looks a bit disgusting, but if I only eat one, I believe I can get through it."
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Senior brother, you're wrong. Eating just one won't have any effect. This thing is limited to twenty-one. You'll only get the effect after eating all twenty-one."
Blanching! This is going to kill you!
Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but mentally rant.
He had always been involved in herbal medicine, so he was no stranger to insects and the like.
Even with his limited tolerance, he felt a bit nauseous just looking at those bugs, yet he ate twenty-one...
Could it be...?!
Yun Zhongzi's eyes suddenly turned strange.
He squinted at Ye Feng and said in a low voice, "Junior brother, was that heart palpitation I felt caused by you?"
Ye Feng hurriedly denied it, saying, "Senior brother, you are wise! I just made a delicious dish. Although this little bug looks a bit ugly, it tastes extremely good. You can't wrong an innocent person."
Yun Zhongzi became conflicted.
Regardless of what Ye Feng said, he had already confirmed his guess.
Although this junior brother is very generous and has excellent interpersonal skills, he has never changed his occasional cunning nature.
These insects are effective, but their appearance is really hard to accept.
Given my junior's culinary skills, he can definitely make this little thing both delicious and beautiful.
The reason he didn't do that must be because his cunning side kicked in!
