"Yiyi!"
Just as Wang Chen returned ho, he was t with a strong protest from Yuanyuan.
The little creature clutched his collar tightly with its paws and rubbed its fluffy head vigorously against his chin.
It made discontented whining noises.
This ti Wang Chen had been gone for three or four days before returning, leaving it alone in the house like an abandoned mouse.
Its only company was a boring wooden dummy.
It felt as if Wang Chen had abandoned it.
Heartbroken.
Wang Chen had to do both coaxing and promising, and in the end, he had to bring out the big guns, "I'll cook sothing delicious for you, right now!"
To strengthen his persuasion.
He took out a piece of Nest Honey from his Storage Bag and broke off a little to stuff into the little guy's mouth.
Yuanyuan's eyes imdiately went round with delight.
Having tasted the sweetness, it opened its front paws and held onto the large piece of Nest Honey tightly, its tail standing up with happiness!
Mine mine all mine!
After cheering up the little creature, Wang Chen went to the kitchen with a smile.
He began to process the ingredients he harvested today.
Firstly, he took out four Peeled Bear Paws and soaked them in honey water prepared with bee honey, and finally added so Spiritual Wine.
This thod had an excellent effect of drawing out the blood from the bear paws and removing the gay taste, making them easier to flavor during cooking.
Wang Chen had learned this technique from a book.
However, the bear paws needed to be soaked overnight, so they definitely wouldn't be ready to eat today.
Wang Chen then took out the valuable Bear Gall and placed it into a porcelain jar filled with Spiritual Wine.
The Spiritual Wine and the porcelain jar were both purchased in Cloud Lake City, where the wine is a potent distilled liquor, perfect for marinating bear gall.
Wang Chen intended to drink the Bear Gall Wine himself.
A few days ago in Cloud Dragon City's Four Seas Comrce Association, he asked about the Vajra Ghee used to aid the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod and discovered that its price had skyrocketed by five to six tis!
After suppressing the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon with the Ancient Taoist Stele, Wang Chen, who no longer had any concerns, picked up this strongest Buddhist Body Refinent technique again to continue his practice.
He had never imagined the price of Vajra Ghee would soar to such an extent.
Utterly inhumane!
But the representatives from the Four Seas Comrce Association also expressed their helplessness, as the formula for Vajra Ghee was special and could only be produced by the Heavenly Dragon Temple in the Western Region. Not to ntion their association, even the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was unable to replicate it.
As the supply was completely controlled by the Heavenly Dragon Temple.
Even if the price increased several fold, it was still at the monks' discretion!
Although Wang Chen could afford the Vajra Ghee at five tis its original price with his current wealth,
he really didn't want to be the sucker paying a premium.
He had originally purchased Vajra Ghee because it was cost-effective and most suitable for practicing the Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod.
Now that the price had risen to such a high level,
it was undeniably more economical to substitute it with other Spiritual dicines and Spiritual Materials that could supplent Qi-Blood and strengthen the Physique.
Even if the effect was slightly inferior, he was not worried thanks to his Immortal Cultivation panel cheats.
That's why he had specifically set aside that Bear Gall.
After marinating both the bear paws and the bear gall, Wang Chen finally took out a large chunk of bear at along with the Nest Honey.
He cleaned the bear at thoroughly, cut it into small pieces, and skewered them onto iron sticks.
After preparing the ingredients, Wang Chen set up a barbecue grill in the front yard.
Soon, skewers of snowy white bear at sizzled and oozed fat under the charcoal fire.
A rich aroma of grilled at rapidly spread through the yard.
"Yiyi!"
The gluttonous Yuanyuan was imdiately lured over, perching on Wang Chen's shoulder and drooling over the crispy and tender skewers.
When the skewers were seventy to eighty percent cooked, Wang Chen brushed honey over them.
That scent was simply heavenly!
The fully cooked bear at had a thin, golden layer of honey shell on the outside that crunched satisfyingly when bitten into.
Then, the juices and rich flavor of the at instantly filled the mouth, making the taste buds explode.
Both body and mind were imnsely satisfied.
Nest Honey and bear at, a hundred percent perfect match!
If honey barbecue gets a bit greasy after eating too much, switch to soy sauce and spices, it still makes people want to swallow their tongues.
Incredibly delicious.
And whether it's Nest Honey or bear at, both contain considerable Spiritual Energy.
Bear at can further enhance Qi-Blood.
Wang Chen finished ten skewers in one go.
The rest filled Yuanyuan's belly—lately, the little guy's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
Wang Chen then took out a frying pan and began to simr the cut bear belly at.
There's plenty of fat in bear belly at, with one pound yielding almost nine ounces of oil.
With the fragrant bear oil, he made a soy sauce with black sesa rice.
Wang Chen could eat three big bowls.
As for the remaining oil residue, sprinkle with fine salt, and embed it into black sesa rice balls as filling.
Yuanyuan declared it had reserved them all!
Not only did it reserve them for itself, but it also wanted to share them with Grandpa Turtle.
The next morning, the first thing Wang Chen did after getting up was to put the four soaked bear paws into the Red Copper Cauldron along with various ingredients, spring water, and Spiritual Wine to stew.
The Red Copper Cauldron is a round-bottod, footless cooking vessel, similar to the pressure cooker from Wang Chen's forr life.
Specially used for stewing tough Monster Beast at.
Moreover, one must use Mana to catalyze the flas for cooking, otherwise, the effect would be much reduced with just charcoal fire.
He spent a whole two hours perfecting this stewed bear paw dish.
The bear paws ca out of the pot plump and pink, like crystal jelly, the enticing aroma making one drool.
As for the taste.
It lted in the mouth as if eating ginseng fruit, Wang Chen simply couldn't describe it with words.
He and Yuanyuan each ate one for breakfast, leaving one for the little guy to present to Grandpa Mysterious Turtle as a sign of filial piety.
The last one, Wang Chen packed in a thermally insulated container.
Carrying it, he headed to Peach Blossom Valley.
He walked through the peach groves to the edge of the pond and didn't see Chang Chun.
Wang Chen wasn't concerned and set down the container, taking out his Fire Crow Sword to practice the Sword Control Technique.
Although he had successfully condensed the sword intent, he was still dozens of experience points away from achieving Great Perfection.
The Sword Control Technique at Great Perfection would undoubtedly be more powerful and might even produce special effects.
Therefore, he planned to spend a few more days maxing it out.
Just as Wang Chen was getting into the groove of his practice, a figure suddenly appeared on a nearby rock.
Wang Chen felt it and imdiately retracted his Fire Crow Sword, respectfully giving a bow to the figure, "Master!"
Chang Chun nodded, "Have you completed your task?"
"Yes."
Wang Chen took out the Nest Honey he had prepared earlier and presented it along with the container, "Please inspect them, Master."
Seeing the hundreds of pounds of honey and the bear paw in the container that Wang Chen brought,
Chang Chun showed a trace of a smile, "Not bad."
"Since you've completed the task, I will now teach you the Thunderbolt Sword Technique."
Wang Chen's spirits soared.
He had been diligently practicing the Sword Control, which was just the basics of the Flying Sword technique. Condensing sword intent was already at its peak, with no further progression possible.
But real Swordsmanship is different, the upper limit of its power is much higher.
The problem is, the Flying Sword technique is vastly different from ordinary Swordsmanship, and the rit Points needed to exchange for it in the Scripture Pavilion are astronomically high.
Wang Chen couldn't afford them.
With Chang Chun's instruction, that ant saving a large amount of rit Points.
He could finally enjoy the benefits of being a True Disciple!
