A donburi was quickly brought before Wu Yunbai and was devoured just as quickly by her, with nothing left behind, not even a grain of rice.
She had just finished her meal and yet it didn't take long before her face managed to regain of some its rosy hue, as if a mass of dense vitality energy was circulating within her right now. Belching, she released some of the stored up energy.
Feeling that warming burn in her energy core, her face brightened up. Owner Bu truly lived up to his name; with just one bowl of Dragon Blood Meat Donburi, her wounds actually recovered this much. Although they weren't completely healed up, they were at least much better than before.
”Owner Bu, this beef of yours seems a little different. Why is it so packed full of energy? That rice too, the mouth feel of it was rather chewy, but once I swallowed it, my body was filled with vitality energy, like I had just eaten some miraculous medicine.” Wu Yunbai exclaimed, mouth sputtering with praises in every word.
Bu Fang grinned slightly as he took in her praise. That rice she just ate wasn't just any old rice grain, it was Dragon Blood Rice. Although it was just rice watered with a pseudo-dragon blood, its effects were vastly superior to that of ordinary rice grains and even better than certain breeds of spirit energy rice.
In short, not only was it a delectable ingredient, Dragon Blood Rice was also a medicinal ingredient.
As for the beef, was there even any doubt that it was special? Carved from the seventh grade Wandering Dragon Cow, there was no way it wouldn't be brimming with spirit energy. The taste was vetted by Bu Fang himself. It was superb.
Born of these two ingredients, it was only natural that the finished dish possessed such an unparalleled taste.
Right now, Wu Yunbai's body was filled with a surging mass of spirit and vitality energy. She needed a place to cultivate so as to digest this energy and recuperate at the same time.
Thus, Master Ah Wu and her swiftly bid their farewells to Bu Fang and left.
Before leaving, she threw Ah Ni a glance that was steeped in meaning: ”I hope you won't forget about your promise.”
Ah Ni nodded before bowing respectfully to express his gratitude for her aid in this mission.
Wu Yunbai accepted the gratitude silently and then left with Master Ah Wu.
”Owner Bu... is it about time we begin the emergency treatment of my uncle, Yu Feng?” Ah Ni anxiously asked.
Yu Fu, equally anxious, threw the owner an expecting look as well.
However, Bu Fang merely swept his eyes over them blandly before saying: ”Be patient, I already said that once our opening hours are over, I will personally brew some elixir cuisine to save him. Naturally, I won't go back on my words so just rest easy and wait. Don't rush me.”
As calm as can be, he then returned to the kitchen.
At the side, Ouyang Xiaoyi cozied up the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree and sat down in a comfy spot beneath, one eye closed while the other remained open. While it wasn't strictly considered cultivating, basking in the scent of the fruit tree was enough to aid one's cultivation.
Like that, a day of operation ended in a flash during which this little restaurant was graced by a number of acquaintances who left after enjoying some small dishes. For the most part, they were here to observe the growth status of the fruit tree.
As two slightly obscured crescent moons rose over the darkened horizon, the restaurant finally closed up for the day. Walking out of the kitchen, he wiped off the stains on his hand, pulled up a chair for himself to sit and then turned to look at the trio, all in a calm and orderly fashion.
On his previous trip to the Illusory Spirit Swamp, he managed to retrieve some seeds from the Ice Soul Monarch Lotus. That lotus originally was one of the serpent-man tribe's heavenly treasures. Having taken such a valuable ingredient, Bu Fang naturally needed to show them some sincerity. That was why he elected to save that serpent-man, Yu Feng.
Truth be told, it was a form of equivalent exchange.
Due to the extenuating circumstances then, the Wandering Dragon Cow Meat Congee was only able to slightly alleviate that serpent-man's condition. Now that they were all in the imperial capital, it fell on him once more to brew up another batch of elixir cuisine. Given that he had promised them before, he naturally wasn't going to skimp on the effort now.
Calmly, he plopped himself down onto the chair and began chatting with the serpent-man Ah Ni.
Having spent an entire day in the kitchen, even Bu Fang needed some time to relax. However, Ah Ni and Yu Fu were clearly too anxious for that right now. Given a choice, they would rather have Bu Fang immediately start working on the brewing.
Finally, after getting enough rest, Bu Fang stood up and, under the expecting gaze of the two snake-men, walked back into the kitchen to begin his brewing.
Previously, in the serpent-man settlement, he only had the most primitive of cooking implements to work with. Using those crude tools, the Wandering Dragon Cow Meat Congee he boiled had barely a tenth of its original medicinal power. Now that he was in his own personal kitchen, such a problem naturally didn't exist.
