CHAPTER 269: 267, NEW KITCHEN FEATURES (3/4)

"He even forgot to run. If it weren’t for Qing Ling pulling him, he might have been left there," a young man chimed in. "Li, this kid’s scared out of his wits."

"Forget it. Talking about this nonsense is useless. If he dies, it’s none of my business," the youth surnamed Li said, turning his head and continuing to walk forward.

Qing Ling glanced at Zhao Yi without much expression and continued to follow.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yi was left at the back.

It was at this moment that Zhao Yi’s desire to leave grew stronger.

...

Viewing Room.

Biyue Piaoling watched the scene unfold, bursting into laughter, wrinkles cascading like waves.

The feeling was that of a child laughing.

"This kid is really unlucky. Just as he planned to go for the kill on the demon beast, he got dragged away and scolded."

At the same time, Biyue Piaoling thought to himself: It seems that the people of the Immortal Sect, whether the Sect Leader or disciples, aren’t easily understood by others.

If not for his keen perception, he would have thought Zhao Yi was scared senseless too.

"You all continue watching. Oh, by the way, a reminder, the Immortal Sect doesn’t provide meals."

Wen Ping stood up, no longer interested in watching.

Of course, the main reason was that it was approaching dawn, and the kitchen was about to successfully upgrade. He still needed to make spiritual cuisine for Biyue Piaoling and check the seeds at Medicine Mountain.

So much to do!

Biyue Piaoling responded nonchalantly to Wen Ping’s words, "These are minor matters."

After responding, Wen Ping had already left the Viewing Room.

After leaving the Viewing Room, Wen Ping headed straight for the kitchen. Just as he reached the entrance, the kitchen successfully upgraded.

The white mist dispersed, and the kitchen’s decor stepped up another level.

On entering the second floor of the kitchen, there was unexpectedly a Bogu shelf and a Jade Screen, all in a classical style, making one feel hungry just by stepping into it.

More than this, Wen Ping was actually more concerned about the items in the built-in store.

"Open the built-in store!"

Then a light screen appeared before his eyes—the items in the built-in store came into view.

Upon focusing, Wen Ping was momentarily stunned and asked, "What is this?"

Of course, it wasn’t that Wen Ping didn’t recognize the characters above.

But the refreshed item was peculiar—it was actually Spirit Rice Transformation Liquid.

He just wanted to plant rice on Medicine Mountain for two months to generate some income for the Sect and also accelerate the realization of the Jianmu Forest plan. But the system had even refreshed seeds and transformation liquid, planning to completely convert his Medicine Mountain into rice paddies?

After the transformation, the spirit rice

Taste: Delicious, extremely delicious, explosively tasty.

Effect: Enhances talent, nourishes the spirit body

Growth cycle: Takes seven days to grow, seven days to mature

...

As he looked at the introduction of Spirit Rice, Wen Ping’s expression gradually softened.

He was extremely fond of its effects.

Enhancing talent.

Nourishing the spirit body.

Neither of these could be easily achieved by the celestial materials, and if not for the Changmo Technique, he wouldn’t be able to use Wooden Flowing Sand, such celestial materials, to enhance talent.

The former needs no more elaboration; the latter’s effect is what Wen Ping needs the most right now.

The Fire Spirit Body relies on the Fierce Beast Trial Ground to improve, but it’s too slow. Once the War Intent State passes, cultivation slows to a crawl, like an ant, and spirit rice just provided what he wanted.

Soon, Wen Ping glanced at the price of the Spirit Rice Transformation Liquid.

One bottle costs a White Crystal!

You can only purchase one bottle every seven days.

"This price truly isn’t cheap, huh." Wen Ping sighed, the most demanding part being that you can purchase only one bottle every seven days.

Wen Ping then asked, "System, how large an area of rice can one bottle transform?"

The system responded, "You need to practice by yourself. How densely you plant, how sparsely you plant, might affect the system’s calculated data."

"I’ll buy it."

Without hesitation, Wen Ping directly purchased a bottle—inside a palm-sized bottle contained some green liquid.

After taking a few careful glances, Wen Ping found a bowl, poured the green liquid into it, then took out a bag of seeds he carried and poured them in.

"How long does the spirit rice transformation take?"

"A quarter of an hour."

"Hmm, that’s quite fast. By the way, does the kitchen have any new special function?"

"Yes, the new function in the kitchen is to build spirit fields. Dustless Soil is suitable for growing trees; it’s not suitable for planting spirit rice, while spirit fields are the most suitable soil for growing spirit rice, herbs, celestial materials, and treasures. The soil of spirit fields is rich in spiritual Qi, providing any nutrients needed for their growth and doubling the effectiveness of anything grown on it."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ping was delighted.

Double effect.

He had to build it.

"How much does one mu of spirit field cost?"

The system responded, "10 White Crystals per mu."

Wen Ping hesitated for a while, calculated the White Crystals in his pocket, and then replied, "Well, it’s acceptable. By the way, can it be built anywhere?"

The system responded, "As long as it’s within the influence range of the Immortal Sect."

"Okay, then build the spirit field in the place I’ve dug."

As soon as the words were spoken, a popup appeared.

[Building... ]

[Time remaining: 1 hour.]

Subsequently, Wen Ping began making spiritual cuisine, relying on it to earn another 10 White Crystals to ease the emptiness of his pocket.

After putting the dumplings into the pot, Wen Ping immediately took the seeds to Medicine Mountain.

An hour had already passed, and a mu’s worth of dense spirit Qi fields suddenly appeared on Medicine Mountain. The rice plants that originally grew on Dustless Soil now stood more than half a man’s height. They were initially expected to bear seeds in days if grown on Dustless Soil, but now they all drooped their heads.

Wen Ping immediately tried to pluck one, broke it open, and sent the white liquid nestled in the husk into his mouth.

Upon tasting it, sure enough, the flavor changed drastically.

Besides the taste, it also carried some spiritual Qi, giving a refreshing experience.

Wen Ping believed if this rice were sold out, it would surely sell out in a blink of an eye.

However, once something changes, it can’t be casually given away anymore.

As the saying goes, some things you can give, and some you can’t.

Ordinary rice, if planted by Wen Ping and sold, it would be doing a good deed as the savior of Cangwu City.

But if he sold the current rice, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good deed.

Afterward, Wen Ping scattered the spirit rice-transformed seeds onto the spirit field, covering them with thin soil.

After doing all this, time wasn’t early anymore. As the sun reached its peak, Wen Ping returned to Yunlan Mountain.

Upon arrival, he immediately encountered Shan Hua who had come to collect medicine.

Wen Ping scooped out the dumplings and handed them to Shan Hua, then returned together with Shan Hua to the viewing area.

At this moment, the scene in the viewing area was set at the location for fury, but now the screen was no longer peaceful and quiet as last night, as that group of people was already fighting with demons. Ten people were surrounded by five or six Earth Dragons, and in an instant, an Earth Dragon took away an arm from someone at the 13th heavy realm with one swipe.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the remaining nine people were terrified!
