First Lord of Earth

Xia Tian was right.

Zhu Youxiao's "accompanied wonder" is in the carpenter's box at his hand. It is a black and gold carving knife!

[Carving Knife (Blue)]

[Type] Strange object

[Characteristics] Spirit Attachment (the wood can be infused with spiritual power during the carving process, allowing it to improve its level and acquire certain 'basic characteristics' of a certain tendency), Spirit Attachment (for products that have put a lot of effort into, it can be attached to a 'god', making it It has a certain 'spirituality')

[Explanation] The rare items associated with "Zhu Carpenter" can gradually improve as they make wooden utensils.

Generally speaking, the grade of the rare objects accompanying the heroes of Silver History is not too high.

Zhu Youxiao, like Li Ru, carries the blue strange object with him, which shows that its potential is at least excellent!

"What a big snake... Today at noon, everyone is lucky enough to be able to eat snake soup."

At this time, the "butcher" with the silver boning knife hanging on his waist looked at the blue-eyed two-headed snake that emerged from the river under the impact of the water after being killed by the wooden puppet in the river, and his eyes lit up!

After stretching out one hand to grab it from the water, he took off his boning knife with the other hand and started deboning it in public on the riverside.

Puff puff……

With his hand raised and the knife lowered, he picked out lumps of crystal-colored snake meat with the knife, leaving only a pile of completely white snake bones on the river bank.

The key is that during the entire deboning process, the snake bones were not damaged at all.

You know, the structure of the bones of snakes can be said to be extremely complex, especially this is a rare two-headed snake. Ordinary people will feel dizzy when they see the structure of snake bones, let alone deboning!

"Hiss, what a powerful sword skill!

Ding Xiu, who has a high character and is very confident in his sword skills, took a breath of cold air when he saw this.

As a person who has reached the "grandmaster" level in swordsmanship, he believes that even if he tries his best, he cannot achieve this level.

The main reason is that they are not professionally qualified.

And Xia Tian is also a little surprised.

Because, he found that the snake meat picked out by the "butcher" looked neat and tidy, with the bones and flesh separated. There was no trace of blood on the bones, and the color of the meat was crystal clear, and there was blood but it would not flow out!

This effect is no worse than the effect of my own collection technique, and is even stronger.

You know, although the collection technique can quickly decompose loot.

But just like the "Eye of Insight", it requires a lot of mental power, and even using more advanced collection techniques also requires the power of luck!

If this "butcher" can be recruited into the territory, he can also save a lot of luck consumption.

However, just when Xia Tian thought that the other party was a "butcher".

"My lord, you are here as a guest, and I would like to invite you to taste our 'Golden Dragon Soup'!"

The two people took out four soup bowls with a hint of golden color from the kitchen that were as big as their heads, handed them to the four people in Xia Tian, ​​and said with expectation.

"Well, this soup is very unusual..."

Wu Song looked moved.

Just because he smelled the soup, he felt the flow of spiritual power in his body speed up and his blood surge. This shows that this bowl of soup is extremely beneficial to practice.

"My bowl of soup has a lot of meat in it, and it's actually golden in color."

Xia Tian, ​​who has stronger eyesight, even noticed that there was a fist-sized piece of golden flesh floating in his portion of the soup, which seemed to exude a crystal luster in the sunlight!

Boy, glowing food, right?

【Golden Dragon Vulture Soup (Silver)】

[Level] Metamorphosis

[Characteristics] Nourishes the body and mind (the spiritual power contained in the soup can temper the human body, increase the progress of transformation, nourish the human heart, and restore the power of the mind)

[Description] It is a broth carefully prepared by top chefs based on a piece of heart meat that condenses the essence of the whole body of the 'Golden Dragon Vulture', combined with Ningshen grass, red fruits, etc.!

"Silver... Good guy, not only is there a carpenter who is comparable to a master, but there is also a chef who is comparable to a master?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised again.

You must know that this bowl of soup belongs to the "transformation" level. It is impossible for ordinary master chefs to be able to make a silver transformation-level soup at the current stage!

"However, the characteristics of this soup can restore the 'mind', which is suitable for me now."

Because continuous use of the Eye of Insight results in serious "mental consumption", the characteristics of this bowl of soup can be said to be just right.

Xia Tian picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup first, and found that although it looked steaming hot, the temperature was just right after entering the mouth. When it rolled into the throat, a warm and fragrant feeling spread to the whole body.

His head, which had been a little tired due to a lot of mental exertion, suddenly felt refreshed!

“What a soup, and the taste is top notch!”

In addition, the taste of the soup made Xia Tian couldn't help but praise it.

Finally, I have delicious food. This is the beautiful taste that food should have in a world with strange powers like the Eternal Land!

You know, he almost always eats meat boiled in plain water in his territory. Maybe it feels very fresh when he eats it for the first or second time, but he starts to feel uncomfortable after eating too much.

Especially in order to practice "Five Animals", he ate a lot of meat every day, which made even the black and white pheasant meat and golden pterosaur meat a little difficult to swallow.

Although some modern seasonings were also opened from the treasure chest, the quantity was too small and not enough, and Pan Jinlian and others were not good at cooking with modern seasonings.

But now this broth, which seems to be cooked only using raw materials from the eternal land and the fruits of plants, tastes so good that Xia Tian almost wants to swallow his tongue!

Good guy, the silver tastes so good, wouldn’t the golden one be even better?

Of course, this is impossible to say.

In the land of eternity, taste is not the criterion for evaluating food quality, it depends more on characteristics.

"The soup that Chef Ding cooked today is made from the golden dragon monster Zhao Zhuangshi killed. The stronger the body, the better it can be absorbed. We only drink a small bowl of soup. If we don't eat meat, our whole body will be unbearably hot. , they all drank it and didn’t react much!”

"Could it be that these four people are all masters at the metamorphosis level?"

"No way, there isn't even a single 'transformation' among us. Are all the lord's men so powerful? Damn it, wouldn't that make us look down on us even more!"

Seeing that several people drank the soup without changing their expressions, the residents of the territory began to whisper.

"So this person is not a butcher, but a cook? Ding, could it be..."

After hearing these people's words, Xia Tian's heart moved.

You must know that the name "Ding" most likely comes from people from the pre-Qin Dynasty. Before the Qin Dynasty, people with the name "Ding" had such extreme cooking skills.

Because he had recovered a lot of his mental strength by drinking soup, Xia Tian once again used the "Eye of Insight" to observe the butcher.

【Ding(Silver)】

[Level] Level 9 (Soul Limit)

[Talent] No Quan Niu (can clearly see the direction of the flesh texture and bone structure of the target creature)

[Characteristics] Slaughtering cattle (increased damage to cattle-like creatures), ease of use (skills in slaughtering knife skills, beyond the ordinary)

[Skills] Chef (Master), Slaughterer (Grandmaster)

[Explanation] A master chef with extremely outstanding skills, and also possesses the ultimate knife skills that surpass the master!

"Sure enough, this person is the cook!"

Xia Tian's face showed an expression that he had guessed correctly.

Cook Ding is not a name.

Among them, "blister" means the profession of "cook" in ancient times, and "ding" is the name!

In the pre-Qin era, many people at the bottom did not have a bunch of surnames, surnames, and even nicknames and nicknames like people in later generations. It was complicated and difficult to remember. The full name of this chef who was a part-time butcher was "Ding".

Compared with Zhu Youxiao, Pao Ding's appearance is not inferior in any way, and is even more "gorgeous" in some aspects. His sword skills are extraordinary, similar to Wu Song's fist and kick skills in foot combat!

And the silver-white bone razor in his hand, Xia Tian guessed that it was most likely the other party's companion rare object.

It is said that Cook Ding's skills are extremely high. The knife in his hand has been used for nineteen years and has slaughtered thousands of cattle. However, the blade is as smooth as new, and there is not even any chip on the blade!

Simply because he has mastered the art of slaughtering cattle to an extent that is beyond the reach of human beings. He knows all the structures of the cow very well. The knife in his hand can easily move between the gaps between the bones of the cow and completely remove the meat. There will be no collision with bones.

This is also the origin of the idiom of later generations: "There is nothing wrong with one's eyesight, and one can do anything with ease"!

However, the spread of the story of Pao Ding mainly comes from an article by Zhuangzi, not a historical record.

Therefore, even if the sword craftsmanship is extremely superb and the reputation is not low, after arriving in the eternal land, he will only be silver, not directly a golden hero!

"Hey, sir, you have good eyesight. This knife of mine is indeed something special."

After discovering that Xia Tian was very interested in his boning knife, Chef Ding said with a confident expression on his face.

"The meat cut by it will always remain in the freshest state! In addition, during the process of cutting the meat, I can concentrate all the flesh and blood essence contained in the whole body into a small part of the meat, or a piece of meat." On top of the bones, its quality reaches its limit and even improves.”

"In this case, just eating one piece of meat and one bone is equivalent to swallowing the essence of a whole head of food."

At the same time, it also explains why he was able to make such a silver-quality soup without "transforming" himself.

"I see, so this soup is secondary? The real nutrition is still in the meat."

After hearing what Cook Ding said, Xia Tian looked at the fist-sized piece of golden meat in his bowl.

"The heart meat of the golden dragon vulture, this thing, is not a creature of the golden dragon bloodline like the golden pterosaur, right?"

After making some guesses in his mind, Xia Tian ate the meat with expectation.

The taste in the mouth is soft, glutinous, and elastic, and it is extremely delicious. Especially after this ball of golden meat is eaten, a huge and abundant spiritual power suddenly explodes in the body, and is passed to one's internal organs, In every limb and every cell, the body is already just short of the "second level of mortal transformation" bottleneck.

Suddenly, it was broken through.

"Ang~"

And at the same time of breakthrough.

Xia Tian's whole body's bones, flesh and blood, and even his soul were shaken at the same time, and he let out a sound like a "dragon roar".

There was even an illusory dragon shape transformed by the spiritual power of the "Dragon Secret Book". It quickly traveled along his body, tempering the spiritual power into every bone and flesh, allowing him to Both the soul and the body have become stronger and more stable!

"Are you dazzled? I seemed to hear a dragon roar, and I saw a dragon emerging from the adult's body!"

"No, there's nothing wrong with you, I saw it too!"

"This is a vision. I'm afraid this lord is the reincarnation of the True Dragon Emperor and will be the emperor in the future!"

The territory residents who had been watching Xia Tian were shaken, their eyes were dazed, and they said incredulously.

"Sir, have you achieved a breakthrough?"

Even people like Wu Song, Ding Xiu, and Hua Rong, who had also reached mortal transformation, felt a certain amount of pressure standing next to Xia Tian.

This is the stage of transformation. Each transformation is a substantial improvement. Although it is not a huge difference, there will be a significant change in combat effectiveness!

"Your soup is very good, thank you very much!"

Xia Tian said to Cook Ding.

"Lord, please taste the brewed wine..."

"Lord, how do you think my horses are being raised?"

"Lord, this is the Sichuan brocade weaved by myself. It is warm in winter and cool in summer..."

"Sir, look at the bird eggs that this boy picked out are pretty good..."

After seeing that the skills of the carpenter and the cook had been affirmed by Xia Tian, ​​especially after this lord was suspected of being the "reincarnation of a true dragon", the people in this territory became even more enthusiastic.

Each one showed off their special skills.

Expert masons can create mud bricks with their bare hands that are neat and as hard as stone.

An expert horse trainer, he has raised more than ten war horses in his territory that have reached the seventh level and can understand human speech.

An expert tailor can weave the silk and linen extracted from the roots of trees and grass into fabrics that are as soft as silk!

Even several children were called over by adults and performed some "tricks" in front of the four people.

"these people……"

Seeing this, Wu Song and Hua Rong were not only surprised, but even a little "ashamed"!

After all, although it cannot be said that those who were proficient in a life skill among the people they brought before them were rare, they were still very few.

But the residents of this territory all have unique skills. Even children wearing ragged pants can climb trees and dig out bird's nests like monkeys.

While Xia Tian was dealing with their enthusiasm, doubts were unavoidable in her heart.

The performance of these people was completely different from the "pride" he originally thought came from the technical staff.

Facing him, a foreign lord, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and even obviously a little uneasy. He dragged his family into battle, just like cabbages in the market waiting to be picked!
