"The mission requires us to prepare meals for a hundred people, with at least eighty different types of food, and no duplication," Xiao Yu muttered as he scoured the entire vegetable garden, picking all the spices. He then went to the spiritual herb garden and picked some suitable for cooking. Finally, he arrived at the spiritual bird and beast enclosure and took away over thirty spiritual birds, several different types of pigs, sheep, cattle, and more.
"I want some more eggs. Where can I get them?" Xiao Yu muttered. Then, he appeared in a room that looked like a warehouse. There were many cabinets that looked like glass cabinets, and they clearly used a spatial formation.
Different types of eggs are placed in large cabinets marked with different egg names.
For example, there were many phoenix eggs in the cabinet. Xiao Yu discovered through his spiritual sense.
"So many? Can I buy them?" Xiao Yu asked.
The price of the Pseudo-Phoenix Eggs immediately appeared on the shelf. It was much higher than in the Gust of Wind Wasteland: 100 Spiritual Stones for 1,000 eggs. However, the spiritual energy of the Pseudo-Phoenix Eggs here was at least three times richer than that in the Gust of Wind Wasteland.
Xiao Yu took out 100,000 spirit stones and bought one million eggs.
As he took out the spirit stone and concluded the transaction with the shelf of pseudo-phoenix eggs, the other shelves all displayed the selling prices.
Xiao Yu paused, thinking of the over 100 million spirit stones in his pocket, and began to shop. In the end, he had selected all the spirit bird eggs with the attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and space.
After buying the eggs, he took some more for the trial and expressed his desire to buy some meat that had been slaughtered.
As he expected, the spirit beasts and birds that had disappeared before were all slaughtered and stored. The price was similar to eggs, but they were sold by the pound.
Xiao Yu spent 50 million spirit stones to buy the meat of spirit beasts and birds that were nearly ten years old. Unfortunately, because it was a formation operation, the internal organs of both the spirit birds and the spirit beasts had been processed.
After that, there were all kinds of ready-made vegetables and seasonings. Finally, I jumped back to buy the Lingqin eggs, milk, goat milk, etc. that I had been buying for nearly ten years.
When Xiao Yu came out of the warehouse of the Spirit Chef Trial Field, he had more than 100 million spirit stones on him, but only a pitiful 100,000 were left.
When Xiao Yu stood in the kitchen, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he immediately felt a little regretful for his impulsiveness. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret.
"I have to find a way to earn some back." Xiao Yu thought gloomily as he stood by the stove. His gaze finally fell on the other empty trial platforms.
☆
"Damn! What a profiteer!" Xiao Yu nearly burst into tears as he stood on the 80th step. He'd worked so hard to make a spiritual meal, and now, half of it was gone. Even though the other party had subsidized some of the raw materials, why wasn't he being compensated for the effort and spiritual medicine he'd spent?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yanzhi, who had been sitting cross-legged on the steps with frost on his body, slowly stood up. As he stood up, the frost on his body quickly melted away. "Who is this? I almost cried because of it."
"Woo woo!" Xiao Yu threw himself on Zhou Yanzhi, "Brother, I'm telling you..."
Xiao Yu was pulled by Zhou Yanzhi and walked up while he quickly recounted his experience.
"Ugh!" Xiao Yu, who realized it later, felt embarrassed, "Brother, I, I will earn the spirit stones back." He spent more than 100 million spirit stones in one go, and was cheated in the end. He was simply a typical prodigal son.
Zhou Yanzhi smiled at his child and said, "Not for now."
"Why? I made enough food for at least 100,000 people." Although he only brought back 30% in the end.
"They've deducted 70% of your money. I think they'll sell it later."
"Ah, selling? Climbing the ladder to heaven and still doing business?"
"How long do you think I've been here?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment: "One month?"
"According to my calculations, at least three months have passed, at least for us. When we were in the trial space, time didn't exist. But we felt hungry during the trial. Even after taking the fasting pills, we still felt hungry. Besides the consumption of the trial itself, there was also time. And the only time we could feel the change of time was when we were climbing the ladder."
“…It seems so.”
"After the hundred steps, I think the journey will be more difficult and the consumption will be greater. It will definitely not be enough to rely on the fasting pills. Since the spiritual food you made meets the test of the ladder to heaven, then those withheld will definitely be taken out and sold by the ladder to heaven. After all, the ladder to heaven also requires energy to maintain." Otherwise, I would not do business with the children.
☆
The two continued forward. Fortunately, there was no trial on the 90th step.
As the two of them easily reached the 100th step, the so-called spiritual liquid appeared suspended before them. It was contained in a plain white porcelain bottle. The liquid was clear, translucent, and a bit thick. Xiao Yu took a look and saw that it was only about 80% full.
"Not much, but the spiritual energy is obviously richer than the top-grade spiritual liquid we obtained in the secret realm before."
"Well, there should be some other differences. Otherwise, with this concentration of spiritual fluid, even if one is at the Spiritual Yuan Realm, there would be a risk of explosion."
The 100th step is a small square that is much wider than the other steps.
Therefore, after arriving at this level, the people, monsters, demons, ghosts, and those who were suspected to be elves who had obtained the spiritual liquid, all drank the spiritual liquid immediately on the spot and then sat cross-legged.
Zhou Yanzhi's eyes swept across the small square. The number of people, monsters, and demons was less than 50. Among them, there were less than 10 humans, including them.
"Let's refine the spiritual fluid as well," Zhou Yanzhi said, and then threw out two defensive array plates.
Xiao Yu had no objection. Good things belong to you only when you eat them.
☆
Xiao Yu didn't know how long it took to refine the spiritual liquid. The moment he opened his eyes, before he could even see his surroundings, he was in a desolate space that gave him a creepy feeling. Just as he was wondering if this space was a trial or something, a demonic beast at the peak of Qi Refining appeared. It looked a bit like a rhinoceros, but was covered in armor.
