"Witch!"
How dare you treat me like this?
I curse you!
The Azure Dragon King originally intended to slowly improve its cultivation level in the blessed land, planning for the future and waiting to ascend so it could escape its imprisonment. However, it never expected that Rong Xi would allow the spirit of the blessed land to periodically harvest its flesh and blood.
As the True Dragon Essence is continuously depleted, its bloodline will weaken, and it may even lose its royal bloodline. Most importantly, with the constant depletion of the True Dragon Essence, its plan to ascend and escape will ultimately fail.
Having given away a half-sacred book as a clue to destiny, he not only received no preferential treatment, but his situation became even worse.
The Azure Dragon King truly wished it could turn back time. It would rather have been incredibly resolute from the beginning than be like this now. Right now, it looked like a fool.
"Welcome to the curse!"
Rong Xi looked at the furious Azure Dragon King and felt quite pleased.
As the saying goes, something unusual must be going on.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
The Azure Dragon King was very tough before, but now he has given away the clues to the creation of the semi-saint's book without asking for anything in return. How could such a big change not have a reason?
She was just mentioning it casually, but thinking that the flesh and blood of a true dragon were quite valuable, she considered stockpiling some. After all, with the future re-establishment of the Yantian Sect, the number of disciples would increase, and the demand for various resources would certainly also rise.
Judging from the Azure Dragon King's reaction, he must have accidentally ruined the Azure Dragon King's plan.
"Despicable and shameless woman!"
"You won't get away with this!"
"I curse you, in the name of the true dragon, I curse you!"
Watching Rong Xi leave, the Azure Dragon King could only roar and howl incessantly.
However, no matter how much it roared, the Azure Dragon King could not escape the fate of having its flesh and blood harvested by the spirit of the cave.
In just a short while, the Azure Dragon King was covered in blood, and most of his flesh and blood had been harvested by the spirit of the cave.
The baby hovered and danced above the Azure Dragon King's head, sneering, and said, "You big reptile, now that you're on my territory, you'd better keep your little schemes to yourself!"
"Let me tell you, even if you reach the threshold of ascension in my territory, the laws of Heaven won't be able to sense you. You should just give up on that idea!"
The baby smiled smugly.
The Azure Dragon King was bewildered. What kind of blessed land was this? How could it shield itself from the laws of heaven? Was the spirit of this blessed land deceiving it?
Unfortunately, the baby didn't care what the Azure Dragon King was thinking at all. After speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
...
Rong Xi came out of the blessed land of Huangdian Pavilion and summoned magpies to come over for lunch, when she was having hot pot with dragon meat.
With so much dragon meat, it must be incredibly delicious to use it in a hot pot.
However, dragon meat still needs to be processed. Otherwise, some of its bestial elements will damage the cultivator's bloodline foundation.
Whether it's a spirit beast, a demon beast, or a divine beast, their flesh and blood are highly nutritious, but they cannot be eaten directly. They need to be prepared by a spirit chef. Otherwise, the bestial factors within them, due to their powerful bloodline inheritance, will affect the bloodline foundation of human cultivators, at best crippling them, and at worst turning them into half-human, half-beast monsters.
For this very reason, being a spiritual chef is a very promising profession in the world of cultivators.
Sometimes, even alchemists are far inferior to spirit chefs.
Unfortunately, not everyone is suited to be called a spiritual chef.
Pao Jia is living a very comfortable life now. Although it's tiring, it's worth it. Given his background, he would never have had the opportunity to come into contact with so many spiritual food ingredients.
But now, he has access to all kinds of ingredients and can perform a lot of practical work.
A true spiritual chef is one who has no actual experience in preparing spiritual dishes; they are merely a chef in theory. No matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, when it comes to actually cooking, you might just be a complete novice.
"Haha, dragon meat again!"
When the magpie delivered the dragon meat to the kitchen, Pao Jia was truly thrilled.
Who in the world can compare to him among the finest chefs? With such an exceptionally privileged environment, it would be a waste if he couldn't achieve the title of God of Cookery.
"The Lady wants to have dragon meat hot pot for lunch, so please have Uncle Jia prepare the ingredients!"
The magpie politely relayed Rong Xi's request to the cook.
"Miss Magpie, don't worry, I'll handle it perfectly!"
Pao Jia spoke with great joy.
Judging from this, dragon meat will likely become a staple ingredient in his diet from now on.
With his years of experience as a chef, Pao Jia could naturally tell that the dragon meat was very fresh, as if it had just been cut from the dragon's body.
So, we have the conclusion!
It seems the Princess Consort has been raising a real dragon as a food reserve.
Ordinary spirit beasts and demon beasts are not worth keeping. Although their flesh and blood will regenerate after a period of time after being cut off, the spiritual energy within the regenerated flesh and blood is much weaker.
But this true dragon is different; it is a divine beast with an extremely strong ability to regenerate.
If a spiritual chef doesn't even understand the characteristics of various ingredients, then that spiritual chef is definitely incompetent.
Throughout history, there have been many spiritual chefs, and many lineages. Although all spiritual chefs acknowledge Paoding as their patriarch, over thousands of years of development, while spiritual chefs have never formed a sect, their lineage is no less powerful than that of any sect or family.
In particular, the chef's summary of the characteristics of various ingredients has been passed down from generation to generation and has never been lost.
Pao Jia really wanted to test the sharpness of his knife on the dragon himself, but unfortunately, the princess kept the dragon in an extremely secret place, and he was not qualified to come into contact with it.
At this moment, Pao Jia desperately wanted to show off in front of Rong Xi; he really wanted to try dissecting the dragon with his ox-slicing knife.
After the magpie left, the butcher began to prepare the dragon meat, soaking it in medicinal herbs to neutralize the bestial elements in it before slicing it.
Dragon meat is a highly nutritious food.
When it's on a dragon's body, the dragon's flesh is extremely tough, and ordinary attacks cannot damage it in the slightest.
Once the bestial elements in the dragon meat are removed, and it is processed with spiritual herbs, the meat becomes incredibly tender. It truly lives up to the saying, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground."
Pao Jia used all his skills to slice the dragon meat into thin slices as thin as cicada wings.
Then, they carefully prepared a medicinal hot pot for dipping dragon meat.
For this dragon meat hotpot meal, Chef Jia displayed his culinary skills to the fullest, hoping to gain Rong Xi's favor. He had come to realize that in the Yong Prince's mansion, he had to cling to the Princess Consort's coattails. Only in this way could his culinary skills reach new heights.
