Wu Qiuyu tossed the pufferfish in front of Ye Feng and calmly sat down on a chair next to him, saying, "I'm hungry, make me one too."
Qingcheng watched Wu Qiuyu sitting quietly to the side with great interest, feeling that the woman herself was like a scenic view. However, this scenic view didn't seem very friendly?
Ye Feng reached out and caught the pufferfish, smiling as he replied, "Please wait a moment, Senior Sister. I'll finish serving the guests first and then you can have yours."
After saying that, he began to process the pufferfish meat.
Pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, and improper handling can easily lead to serious injury. There are two parts of their bodies that should absolutely not be touched: the liver, gallbladder, and eyes. The reasons for this are obvious to anyone with common sense. However, most pufferfish today are farmed and are not inherently poisonous.
The one in Ye Feng's hand is different; it's definitely a Poison King.
Not only the fish liver, gallbladder, and eyes, but also its blood and other organs were extremely poisonous. Detoxifying these organs wasn't Ye Feng's expertise, so he abandoned all attempts at it.
Ye Feng's long, slender, fair, and strong fingers moved continuously across the fish's body, a wisp of sword light acting as a cleaver at his fingertips. Wherever his fingers slid, the pufferfish's flesh would tear open.
Ye Feng dug and pried inside the pufferfish, emptying its body completely. But that wasn't all. He pressed down on the pufferfish's eyes, then grabbed the thin membrane between the skin and flesh and tore it off, leaving only a clean, fleshy piece of pufferfish.
Ye Feng has always cherished the skin of farmed pufferfish, as it is full of collagen and tastes delicious. Wild pufferfish, on the other hand, contain toxins in their skin, so Ye Feng has to reluctantly discard them.
After doing all that, Ye Feng used the Ice Condensation Technique to conjure a large block of ice and stuck one of his kitchen knives into it.
Ye Feng heated oil in a wok and fried the pufferfish until both sides were golden brown. He then took the pufferfish out and, using the remaining oil, put the stir-fried trio back into the wok.
After the aroma of scallions, ginger, and garlic began to waft out, Ye Feng poured the pufferfish meat into the pot, added boiling water, and immediately covered the pot to start stewing.
Then I picked up a new pot, heated it up, put two handfuls of water spinach in it, stir-fried it until it was just cooked, then added salt, white pepper and other seasonings, and then put it in a plate as a base.
After the pufferfish meat had been stewing for about twenty-five minutes, Ye Feng lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma of fish wafted out.
Add white pepper, light soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, salt, and other seasonings in that order, stir well, and reduce the sauce over high heat. Then pour the fish into the plate you just prepared.
After this step was completed, a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth descended from the sky in an instant.
The consequence of giving full play to one's strength is receiving a full blessing from heaven and earth.
As the golden light faded, Ye Feng carefully examined the properties of the braised pufferfish.
[A perfect braised pufferfish, a gift from heaven and earth, rated 8 stars. Born from the essence of heaven and earth, the pufferfish has an extraordinary and unparalleled flavor, making it the king of fish. With the host's skillful seasoning, its taste is even more unmatched.]
[Effects: After consumption, whitening and beautifying effects are increased by 35%; for those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, there is a chance to see the bottleneck barrier within a week, with the chance decreasing the closer one is to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but not less than 25%; for seven days, no fatigue will be felt regardless of the type of training or battle; can instantly restore one to their most perfect physique (including those who have become obese due to eating the host's delicacies); cultivation increases by 50% (cannot advance realm)]
The attributes were average, but the last attribute left Ye Feng both amused and exasperated.
Ever since the fish started stewing, Qingcheng's eyes have been shining, her gaze fixed on the pot without blinking.
She had already smelled the exquisite aroma as Ye Feng plated the dish, and her anticipation was palpable. But when she saw the towering pillar of light, her heart sank.
After all, she knew the nature of Ye Feng's food; once the blessing of heaven and earth descended, it would only have divine effects and no deliciousness.
The reason it was still half-cold was mainly because the "Blessed by Heaven and Earth" attribute was better, and she hoped that this food would have an effect on her.
Ye Feng placed the plate in front of Qingcheng and said, "This dish should be of some help to you, but whether it can achieve the effect you want depends on yourself. The chance of it helping you see the bottleneck is 25%."
Twenty-five percent?!
Qingcheng was instantly excited upon hearing the news.
What does 25% mean? It means you have a one in four chance to leap from the True Immortal realm to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
Moreover, based on his own accumulated experience, if he were to truly enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he would certainly not be an ordinary Golden Immortal; he would definitely be among the top three in his rank.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Qingcheng's excited expression immediately subsided, and she asked uncertainly via telepathy, "Is this probability... is it legitimate? It's not like the enhancement probability in that Tencent's 'poisonous milk powder' game, is it?"
Back in the day, Qingcheng was also a game enthusiast. When she played a game called "Disconnect City" and "Weak Warrior," she was frustrated by the extremely high success rate of enhancements many times, which left her with a very deep psychological scar.
Ye Feng shrugged and transmitted his voice, "Don't worry, it's definitely more reliable than Tencent's success rate."
Qingcheng patted her chest, causing waves to surge, before finally letting out a sigh of relief and preparing with great joy for a battle against this effective but tasteless food.
Wu Qiuyu, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat uncomfortable watching this.
Look at this! This random little vixen is chatting so happily with me, even exchanging whispers right in front of me! What is there that I can't know? The Myriad Flowers Sect's scheme is too clever; they actually sent their Supreme Elder to use a honey trap! This is intolerable! My junior brother is a strategic resource of our Shu Mountain Sword Sect; we absolutely cannot let him fall into someone else's hands!
"Knock knock knock..."
After tapping the table, Wu Qiuyu's distinctively cool voice came: "Hurry up and cook, I'm starving! You know how spicy and numbing it is."
Ye Feng smiled helplessly at Qingcheng and then turned to cook. But as he turned, he couldn't help but look his senior sister up and down again, wondering what had gotten into her today.
Qingcheng chuckled inwardly, thinking to herself that not all the members of the Shushan Sword Sect were destined to be bachelors; there were some who knew how to protect their own.
