Chapter 649

Master Huaijie was delighted to see Zhou Xun arrive, smiling and pressing his palms together in a greeting. "Greetings, True Monarch Zhou!" "Master, you are too kind," Zhou Xun replied, cupping his hands in return. "I have come here specifically to seek your guidance on the way of the spirit chef. Your culinary skills are astounding, Master; the way you prepare the meat of Tier 3 monsters is truly impressive. It provides significant benefits even for Nascent Soul cultivators like ourselves." "While the inner core is indeed the essence of a monster beast," Master Huaijie began, "its flesh, having been refined by spiritual energy for hundreds of years, is also a rare treasure. My path as a spirit chef is to use special methods to extract the essence of blood and qi contained within the flesh, transforming it into pure spiritual energy that is easy for us to absorb." He looked wistful for a moment, adding, "It is said that in ancient times, there existed a 'Nascent Soul Formation Banquet' that could assist cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks. To reach the rank of True Monarch after a single meal—that is the lifelong pursuit of us spirit chefs."
