Dragon's Origin

Chapter 108: Gourmet Craze (Part 2)

Rumor has it that the furious head of the Dai family, upon learning that someone in his family had sent assassins to kill Wang Sheng in the street before he could reveal his secret, only to have them killed instead. Furthermore, the Dai family disciples who had heard the secret were also assassinated in the street, dying on the spot. This incident nearly caused the family head to berate all the elders present at the time.

No one knows the specifics of the power struggles and internal strife within the Dai family; everyone just treats it as a joke. Which major family hasn't had a few similar messy incidents?

The various major families, eager to learn the secret of upgrading their spiritual souls, must have put immense pressure on the Dai family. At least for a while, the Dai family was severely suppressed by all sides, their influence contracted significantly, and their family members traveling abroad became much more restrained.

Wang Sheng doesn't pay attention to these things; he's now focused solely on his cultivation. He would only be happy if the Dai family were completely destroyed, feeling no other emotions. The more they are suppressed, the happier Wang Sheng will be.

Six chefs, each creating two new dishes every day, are enough for Wang Sheng's evening meditation. Thankfully, Wang Sheng had eaten many delicacies back on Earth, and his memory is now excellent after being strengthened by spiritual energy, allowing him to recall many dishes he had enjoyed on Earth.

Of course, he is even more grateful for the era Wang Sheng came from on Earth before his transmigration. All kinds of delicacies emerged endlessly, providing enough variety to support Wang Sheng's meditation needs. Additionally, the various ingredients in this world have different variations compared to those on Earth. The same dish can be derived into several new dishes using different materials.

In less than a month, the number of Wang Sheng's upgraded Little Chi Wus reached five hundred. At this point, Wang Sheng's cultivation realm could no longer remain at the unranked stage. At least outwardly, he was infinitely close to the boundary between unranked and the first level of the Qi Refining stage. Any experienced expert could see this at a glance.

However, no one suspected Wang Sheng at this moment. This was clearly not due to Wang Sheng's cultivation efforts but rather the effectiveness of the old imperial physician and the alchemist's elixirs, as well as the spiritual soul nurtured by the Song family's ancestor. What did it have to do with Wang Sheng himself?

Even if Wang Sheng leveled up, so what? He's just a first level cultivator. Compared to the secret of upgrading spiritual souls that all the families are trying to figure out, it's nothing. Only the people of Worry-Free City still see Wang Sheng as a treasure; the major families hardly pay attention to him anymore.

Recently, the heads of the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Baozhai, and Baoqing Yutang in Worry-Free City have been delighted. They get to eat completely different delicacies every day, living an incredibly comfortable life.

Because Wang Sheng changes his dishes so frequently, and one chef can't keep up with Wang Sheng's demands after learning only a few dishes, the three parties have rotated their chefs four times. Even so, there are still new dishes appearing every day, with every meal. Imperceptibly, those who follow Wang Sheng's dishes every day have become unaccustomed to the delicacies they once thought were delicious.

"I've lived so long, and only now do I realize this thing is so delicious!" Ling'er is extremely spoiled in front of Lu Wenhous, and she's not afraid to show such unrefined behavior in front of her young master. However, the things made according to Wang Sheng's instructions are truly delicious, often making her forget that she's a little beauty who should be acting like a lady.

The situation is the same at Yu Baozhai and Baoqing Yutang. The female owner always touches her full belly and smiles wryly, wondering if she should leave sooner, or she will eventually become a fat woman if she keeps eating like this.

As for the City Lord's Mansion, they have completely arranged their three meals a day according to Wang Sheng's recipes. The City Lord doesn't know how many times he has secretly laughed at the major families, wondering how foolish they could be to send such a treasure as Wang Sheng to Worry-Free City.

Han Bingli and the shadow eunuch, who originally came to Wang Sheng's side specifically to protect him after the identity of the assassin was revealed, are now enjoying themselves so much that they don't want to leave. Having gotten used to the food at Wang Sheng's house, they lose their appetite just looking at the exquisite meals they used to think were good.

Including the chefs sent by the three parties in rotation, they used to only know how to cook by stewing, roasting, and boiling. They never imagined that, in terms of technique alone, besides these few, there were also frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, flash-frying, simmering, sticking, stuffing, braising, stewing, baking, grilling, stir-frying, smoking, marinating, curing, poaching, steaming, hot pot, caramelizing, honey glazing, salt baking, sweet soup, etc. It was simply an eye-opener.

Any technique requires consideration of different temperatures, ingredients, seasonings, and times. An unprofessional person can be completely confused. This is also why a batch of chefs can only accept a few days of instruction before they have to be replaced. Their brains are completely messed up, and they are too busy digesting what they have learned to learn more.

When the number of Wang Sheng's Little Chi Wu upgrades exceeded five hundred and twelve, Wang Sheng experienced another overall upgrade process. However, this was not a major change like going from the first level to the second level of Qi Refining. According to Wang Sheng's estimation, it should be an upgrade from the late stage of the first level to the peak stage of the first level.

It was still a spiritual energy baptism process. Wang Sheng lay on his recliner, feeling the comfort of the vast spiritual energy entering his body from all directions.

Beside Wang Sheng sat Han Bingli and the shadow eunuch, and the butler was also not far away. Seeing this scene, curiosity appeared in their eyes.

Wang Sheng was clearly not entering the first level of Qi Refining from the unranked stage. This means that even in the unranked stage, Wang Sheng could experience a spiritual energy tempering, which is quite miraculous! There's no need to ask; this is thanks to that magical spiritual soul.

Everyone now understands Wang Sheng's changes. Wang Sheng's cultivation level had previously dropped due to injury or other reasons, so he would definitely experience a spiritual energy tempering again when he re-cultivated to the first level. This is a good thing, even better than directly taking those tonics. They have a good relationship with Wang Sheng recently and hope that Wang Sheng can improve.

The butler is even more curious about how magical the spiritual soul that has devoured many carp spiritual souls and has been upgraded to a nine-star spiritual soul will be, since even the initial unranked carp spiritual soul has such a performance. Once Wang Sheng has finished upgrading, he must ask Wang Sheng about his feelings and changes. This is very important.

Of course, there is one question that everyone wants to ask but no one has asked, which is where does Wang Sheng come from?

Judging from Wang Sheng's performance, he is definitely not a savage who drinks blood. Compared to Wang Sheng, the butler sometimes feels that he should be the ignorant savage.

Putting aside everything else, just talking about food, if the savages ate as exquisitely as Wang Sheng, then they, who consider themselves civilized people, should be ashamed and kill themselves.
