Chapter 27: “Unique flavor is mesmerizing”

The imperial palace’s Spiritual Medicine Hall was not that big, as it was uncomparable to the Six Great Orthodoxies’ Medicine Pavilions. In fact each type of Spirit Medicine in here had the quant.i.ty of only several jin. Having more would be useless though, because the best effect one would get by eating a Spirit Medicine, would be after the first time. Every other time would have less and less of an effect, until it would bring no effects at all!

Hong Xiaobao entered the Spirit Medicine Hall with his Third Brother, Hong Haoyun. But because Haoyun was a simple-hearted fellow, he just sat down in the corner to meditate, and let Hong Xiaobao choose the medicine.

“Hah, kid…although the quant.i.ty of these Spirit Medicine’s isn’t that big, but the variety is considerable!“ Because there was no one around, Meng Xianji revealed himself from the bracelet, as he looked at the surrounding Spirit Medicine. “Profound Yuan Gra.s.s, Bone Cleansing Flower,Four Circle Fungus, Purple Jade Fruit… all are quite decent !”

“It is only natural!” Hong Xiaobao already ate a lot of them as his snack, so he already knew that they were precious goods indeed. In addition he already had a martial arts foundation so he could increase his skill! But he knew that eating these medicines randomly could be disastrous for him. Therefore, he asked Meng Xianji “Old Man, which of these are edible for the present me?”

“You’ve just broken through, so you cannot eat too efficacious herbs…hmmm, for the present you the best thing would be that Profound Yuan Gra.s.s, and that Purple Jade Fruit,” Meng Xianji said leisurely. “Profound Yuan Gra.s.s increases up to two months of cultivation time, and Purple Jade Fruit can increase up to four months of cultivation time. All in all, that equals to a half of year cultivation time, so it is quite suitable for you now. If you overdosed with Spirit Medicines, then it could lead to an energy rebellion.”

Each Spirit Medicine effect was different, and you couldn’t just eat them randomly.

You could give some change to a child for a snack, but if you gave him 50 000 to spend, then it would be very dangerous as it could bring an unexpected calamity.

“Good!” Hong Xiaobao took a nearby bag for these medicines, then he asked, “Do I just eat it like that? No cooking, or anything?” Normally, any other person would just directly eat these Spirit Herbs, but the Ninth Prince’s standards were a little high, so he asked Meng Xianji about it.

“Tasteless!” He hadn’t actually thought that Meng Xianji would decisively shake his head. “You have a Greedy Wolf’s Body! Wouldn’t eating it without cooking spoil all the fun?! Come, I’ll teach you how to savour your food! Didn’t you make a kitchen earlier? Bring me there! I’ll teach you how to makeProfound Yuan and Purple Jade Soup! Its’ unique flavor is mesmerizing!”

At that moment Hong Xiaobao was dumbstruck; (⊙.⊙)

Haha, good! Good! Even if he was a glutton, he should appreciate the taste of things he ate! How could these thing taste well, when in raw state?! Cooking them would be the only proper way! HaHaHa!

“You Old Man, is it possible that you can cook?” Hong Xiaobao said surprised.

“This Old Fool is a master chef at the G.o.dly Craftsman level!” At this time, a voice conveyed from inside the bracelet. It was Xiao Sanshao. “Listen to him carefully, and after you have gained some strength, he’ll teach you all the delicious cuisines that exists! They’ll also be helpful to you in another way!”

“It’s rare for you to praise me, hah !” Meng Xianji said. “Right, when the opportunity comes I’ll teach you better things, but right now we are a little short on the ingredients. For example it’s a little pity that you don’t have any Demonic Beast meat here…”

Generally speaking, the meat of Demonic Beasts would help the physical growth. But its’ spoilage was really quick, so it could be held for a maximum of two to five days.

“Tian Can! Tian Can! Wake up!” Meng Xianji called. “Come out faster, you are needed here!” He was the G.o.dly Craftsman level chef, while Tian Can was called the Medicine Immortal! His proficiency in alchemy was immeasurably deep!
