Chapter 155 What Kind of Medicine King is He If His Clothes Don't Burst When He Eats?
Chapter 155 What Kind of Medicine King is He If His Clothes Don't Burst When He Eats?
Ever since the battle between Ash and Yuan Haonan, the news that Wuwei Martial Arts School was going to hold a banquet spread throughout the imperial capital.
This time, unlike before, they were not specialized in serving the civilians for training, but were divided into different grades.
Those who haven't mastered the [Five Flavors Chef] will continue to be responsible for the food of the common people, those who have already learned the skill will be responsible for the Fengyun Banquet with a ticket price of 100 gold coins, the five most skilled apprentices will be responsible for the Golden Scale Banquet with a ticket price of 10,000 gold coins per person, and Ash himself will be responsible for the True Dragon Banquet with a ticket price of 1,000,000 gold coins per person.
As soon as the news came out, the tickets for the Fengyun Banquet were immediately sold out. After all, the reputation of "Wuwei Chef" had spread, and many people wanted to try this extraordinary cooking skill.
A lot of tickets for the Golden Scale Banquet were also sold. Many nobles from the imperial capital gathered there. Ten thousand gold coins were nothing to them, just like an ordinary person spending ten or twenty dollars on a meal.
But there is no such thing as a real dragon banquet. Ten or twenty yuan is a small thing, but one thousand or two thousand yuan is something that ordinary people are not willing to spend on this meal.
However, as the banquet was about to start, three tickets were still sold, and one of them was surprisingly sold to Yuan Haonan.
The other two are Li Xuanyi, one of the empress's favorites, and Yue Buyi, the Earth-Armored Dragon King, one of the Eight Kings.
The common people, bureaucrats, and nobles are all present.
Ash looked at the three and raised an eyebrow.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the banquet." Yaxiu clapped his hands, and his three clones brought three large wooden plates to Yuan Haonan and the other three.
The clones placed four plates and a bowl in front of them.
"Stir-fried sea dragon ginseng with green onions, vinegar-fried cloud dragon vegetables, white dragon stuffed bitter melon, dry-fried red dragon meat, and blood dragon soup. This is today's True Dragon Feast." Yaxiu introduced while distractedly opening the lids one after another. The rich golden light was brighter than the last.
"It looks good." Yuan Haonan looked at the five dishes in front of him and said calmly, "Do you have any wine?"
"If you're thirsty, please drink the blood dragon soup." Ash said calmly, "No alcohol will be provided this time."
"One million gold coins, and they don't even offer a glass of wine. That's really something I've learned." Yuan Haonan sneered.
"Then you can leave. I will refund all the fees. It's not like I'm begging you to eat it." Ash retorted indifferently.
"Humph." Yuan Haonan picked up the chopsticks. "If it doesn't taste good, or if it's not worth the price, I'll overturn your stall."
"It's up to you, if you have the guts." Ash sat down at his seat without raising his eyes.
Yuan Haonan picked up a piece of Zhulong meat, put it in his mouth, and clenched his teeth.
At that moment, it was like a bomb exploded in his mouth, the rich gravy rushed in along with the burning pain, and followed by the unwilling anger of the Red Flame Red Dragon before his death.
In an instant, Yuan Haonan felt as if he had turned into the red-flaming dragon, tumbling continuously among the lava.
Hot, so hot!
By the time Yuan Haonan came to his senses, he had already eaten the entire plate of stir-fried red dragon meat without realizing it.
"Powerful enough!" Yuan Haonan couldn't help but exclaimed in praise, and then he felt a little cool.
When he looked down, he found that his shirt had broken into pieces and was scattered around, as if it had exploded.
Yuan Haonan didn't care. After all, he had fought shirtless before, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. But what made him concerned was the hot breath that was moving through his body like a snake.
Every time he swam around, he felt something was being eliminated from his body, impurities!
"What did you add in it?" Yuan Haonan looked at Yaxiu, "It's impossible to achieve this level with just the Red Flame Red Dragon Meat."
"The main ingredient is the meat of the Red Flame Red Dragon." Ash threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "I didn't add anything else. If you can't do it to this level, I can't say that my cooking skills are extraordinary."
Then Yue Buyi also started eating. This fat old prince who looked like a landlord chose stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions.
It tastes salty and fragrant, crispy and chewy at first, and is followed by a suffocating feeling like living under the sea, making you feel like you are there.
Yue Buyi felt like he had turned into an artificially cultivated sea cucumber, eating and sleeping all day long. Only when he was taken away did he feel a sense of relief.
"So this is what it feels like to be kept in captivity. My spirit is depressed and it feels like torture." Yue Buyi sighed, and then he found that his clothes had been taken off without him knowing when.
This made Li Xuanyi, who was at the end, look at Yaxiu, feeling that these dishes were not very decent.
But now that she was here, she couldn’t waste one million gold coins. Even she would feel the pain.
After looking at it, she chose the vinegar-fried Yunlong dish.
It tastes crispy at first, and after the sour taste comes the sweetness of the dish itself, which whets your appetite.
Of course, this dish also has its own strange phenomena. Li Xuanyi also feels as if he has turned into a seed, struggling hard to grow in the soil, breaking through the soil and rocks every day to absorb nutrients. But it is still a vegetable after all, and it cannot move. Facing the big hand that stretches out, it can only watch it pick it up and cut off its roots.
The corners of her eyes seemed to be a little moist, but Li Xuanyi grew up in the palace after all, and her iron heart was an important guarantee for her survival. She quickly eliminated the influence of the strange phenomenon.
He looked at his clothes, they were fine and still fit him well. But when Li Xuanyi picked up the chopsticks again, he noticed something strange.
Her underwear slipped away.
With a hint of shame in his eyes, Li Xuanyi glared fiercely at Yaxiu who was standing beside him.
Ash didn't take it seriously, instead he found it quite interesting, what kind of a medicine king is it if he can eat without his clothes bursting?
After the three of them finished eating, Ash said slowly, "Did you enjoy your meal?"
“Of course.” Yue Buyi was the first to speak, “I am also a gourmet, but there is no one who can match your cooking skills as Master Lin.”
"It is indeed delicious." Yuan Haonan also said happily, "Considering the effect, one million gold coins is a little expensive, but it is worth it."
The benefits of stir-fried red dragon meat alone were no less than those of a tenth-tier precious medicine. After all, eighth-tier and ninth-tier medicinal materials were no longer of any use to him.
Even if the overall value of the ninth-grade precious medicine is higher than that dish, if he really has to choose, he would still choose the dish. One is useful and the other is useless, so he naturally knows what to choose.
"Enjoy it." Li Xuanyi also said briefly to show his agreement.
"Then please come to the True Dragon Banquet regularly from now on." Yaxiu said, "Once a month, until the Hanlong Competition."
Yue Buyi stroked his beard and asked: "Master Lin, are you here to visit Hanlong? I wonder what you are here to talk to Your Majesty about?"
"Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique." Ash said lightly.
The scene suddenly became quiet. They didn't expect that Ash had such a big appetite and actually came for the world's best Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique.
Finally, it was Li Xuanyi who spoke up: "Hanlong alone cannot obtain the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique."
"I know." Ash said, "But it shouldn't be too much to ask the Empress to show it to me again."
Li Xuanyi glanced at Yaxiu deeply: "It seems that Master Lin is very confident in his eyesight. He can deduce the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique just by the demonstration."
"Average." Ash picked up a peanut and took a bite.
“If Master Lin is willing to enter the palace to be a royal chef, we can discuss the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique with him,” said Li Xuanyi.
"No thanks." Ash raised his hand. "I'm not interested in being someone's subordinate. Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, I have to go somewhere else to handle things. I won't stay in one place for long."
“That’s such a pity.” Yue Buyi stood up and said, “I will come to Master Lin’s True Dragon Banquet more often in the future.”
"Welcome to come often." Ash nodded with a smile on his face. After all, he is the God of Wealth. It is not easy to find a sucker who costs less than 10,000 gold coins for one million gold coins.
Li Xuanyi also stood up and said, "Master Lin, are there any more dishes? I need to bring some for His Majesty, and of course you won't be short of money."
"Yes." Yaxiu snapped his fingers. There were ten tickets for the True Dragon Banquet, so he naturally prepared ten portions of ingredients. If he couldn't sell them, he would eat them himself and they wouldn't be wasted.
Soon, another clone came over with a plate.
"Eat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will lose its flavor if it gets cold," Ash reminded.
"Yeah." Li Xuanyi put away the dishes, nodded slightly, and his body disappeared instantly.
"Are you from the Shadow Dragon lineage?"
Ash thought as he looked at the shadow reflected between the table and chair.
"Master Yuan, do you have any other advice for me?" Yaxiu looked at Yuan Haonan who had not left yet.
Yuan Haonan raised his bowl and said, "Give me another helping. I'm not full yet, so I don't mind your money."
"Okay." Yaxiu naturally wouldn't refuse money, and quickly gave Yuan Haonan another meal.
After eating, Yuan Haonan left with satisfaction.
In the Chonglong Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Empress Chongming opened her eyes, looked at Li Xuanyi who had walked out of the shadows, and asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"
"It's the best in the world." Li Xuanyi nodded, took out the set meal and introduced it to the empress.
Chongming also tried them one by one, then nodded with satisfaction: "Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, he has made the five flavors of life clear to him. No wonder he is called the Five Flavors Chef."
"But this quirk is really not commendable." The empress glanced at her half-undressed skirt and pulled her clothes back on.
With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see that this reaction was deliberately adjusted by Ash, that is, the clothes would explode after eating it, and he did it on purpose.
"Indeed." Li Xuanyi nodded in agreement.
"Have you asked him what he wants?" Chongming said.
Li Xuanyi lowered his head and said, "He wants the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique."
"That does fit the bill. He has an immortal body, an indestructible body, and an indestructible physique, plus a special physique transformed by his fighting spirit. No wonder he wants the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique." Chongming lay back on the jade. "If he cooks for Yu Yisheng, he can give him the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique." "But he should have other ideas, right?" Chongming said, looking at Li Xuanyi.
Li Xuanyi said: "He is aiming for Hanlong, and he wants Your Majesty to demonstrate the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique in front of him."
Chongming put his hand on her head and said, "His cooking skills are extraordinary, which is indeed a great help to the development of martial arts. After all, for a warrior to become stronger, it is nothing more than eating and practicing. He will definitely be the Hanlong next year."
"It's not too much to show him the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique once, but with just his eyes, even if my double pupils can interpret everything, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn the Emperor Dragon Body Refining Technique in one go. It seems that he still has other things to rely on."
"Have you searched for the source?"
Li Xuanyi nodded and said, "Luces does have his own deeds, and he is suspected to be the successor of Quetzalcoatl."
"The bloodline of Quetzalcoatl?" Chongming said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, two or three years ago, I felt someone breaking through the sacred forbidden area over there, but it was just relying on bloodline, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that it should be him."
The sacred forbidden area is not a place where anyone can break through. Those who can break through are all demigod seeds, and such seeds rarely appear once a year, so Chongming still remembers his original sensation.
Chongming narrowed her eyes, but she could see clearly in the battle with Yuan Haonan that Ash was able to fight Yuan Haonan on equal terms simply by relying on his strong foundation, which meant that Ash could also break into the sacred forbidden area on his own.
What an amazing boy.
Chongming spoke again: "Then don't worry about him, just ask the Demon Suppression Division to pay more attention."
Although the Chonglong Empire became independent of the five orthodox religions and was not affected because of her, the price was that they had to deal with vicious incidents such as the corruption of the five evil gods themselves.
Therefore, the Demon Suppression Division came into being, and they were extremely wary of strong outsiders like Ash.
{Achievement: [Wealthy Enough to Rival a Nation VIII] Achieved, Reward: Achievement Points*128}
{Activate achievement · [Wealthy Enough to Rival a Nation IX]: Earn 12345432/100000000 gold coins.}
After splitting the proceeds from the banquet with his apprentices, a message lit up in front of Ash's eyes.
'It's over 10 million now, and I'm spending money like water.'
Ash drummed his fingers on the chair, thinking about how to spend the money. He had no shortage of armor or weapons.
Then use it to make props, Ash made a plan. If everything goes well next year, he will go to the dwarves and use the money to ask the dwarf masters to forge kitchen utensils.
With the proceeds from the True Dragon Banquet, we should be able to save enough by then.
Judging from his performance at the banquet, Hanlong's matter should be a sure thing, so he can focus on other things, such as collecting bloodlines and completing adventurer missions.
Ash glanced at his current achievement points, 666, which was an auspicious number.
A sea of blood emerged, and thirty-four clones walked out and began their daily practice.
The gains he had gained from his challenges on the road to digestion had left him only a few away from reaching the one hundred special characteristics.
However, it is extremely difficult to complete these types. After all, ninety special characteristics and basic elemental characteristics are enough to cover most breathing methods in the world.
Some breathing techniques may seem to have different characteristics, but they actually have the same goal, they are just used differently, which makes it even more difficult to find a characteristic that has a different origin.
Even if I digest all the gains from the challenge on the road, I don’t know if it’s enough.
Fortunately, this is the imperial capital, where talented people from all over the world gather. Even if it is not enough, he can look for it carefully here and should be able to get enough.
On the second day after the banquet, Wuwei Martial Arts School officially began recruiting students. There was a crowd at the entrance, but it was obvious that there were no talented people joining.
Although there are many people who sign up, not much attention is focused on certain people.
Geniuses are the focus everywhere, but obviously there are no eye-catching geniuses here.
There are two reasons for this:
First, those who have connections at home will definitely send their children to the best martial arts schools to practice and lay a solid foundation. There are not many outstanding students left for Wuwei Martial Arts School.
Secondly, the learning tutorials presented by Wuwei Martial Arts School are somewhat special. In the early stages, you have to learn how to cook to become a qualified chef.
Anyone who wants to enter a martial arts school wants to become a warrior. Not many young people are willing to become a chef.
This also led to a large number of poor families signing up, because in their opinion, instead of spending a lot of money on martial arts, it would be better to spend money to learn a skill to make a living.
In their opinion, Wuwei Martial Arts School was quite good, with a high lower limit and a high upper limit. They had also heard that the owner of Wuwei Martial Arts School was able to fight on equal terms with the owner of Chaoyang Martial Arts School.
Who is the owner of Chaoyang Martial Arts School? He is a famous demigod. If the owner of Wuwei Martial Arts School can tie with him, then he must be a demigod, and his inheritance must be good.
Ash accepted everyone who came, because the ones teaching them were not him, but his first batch of apprentices.
Although Burning Technique and Liuhe Sword were the unique skills he specially created for his martial arts school, they were not enough to support a complete career path.
There was no profession that was particularly suitable for chefs in the inheritance he had learned, and he was unwilling to spend achievement points to create a career path from ordinary to master. After all, Hanlong was in sight, and Wuwei Martial Arts School was only a hobby, so there was no need to waste scarce resources.
So, Ash handed these apprentices over to the first generation apprentices. It was enough to pass on the "Five Flavors Chef" anyway. Whether they could establish a career path based on it depended on the efforts of his apprentices.
In the backyard of the martial arts gym, Ash tasted the works presented by the first generation of apprentices one by one. After tasting each one, he would write down his comments with a pen and then send them away.
Until one of the dishes was served, a hint of surprise appeared in Ash's eyes.
The spoon tapped the yellow jade-like soup in front of him, and the thin layer of ice on the top shattered and merged into the soup. Then, it was like an aroma bomb was released, and an extreme fragrance filled the room.
"I'm making great progress." Ash couldn't help but mutter to himself, then scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth. The intoxicating aroma with an extreme freshness filled his mouth, and then a feeling of joy swam in his heart like a fish.
This is the symbol of entry into the [Five Flavors Kitchen].
After finishing today's apprenticeship work, Yaxiu called Li Zhi and Li Yu. Li Yu was Li Zhi's half-sister.
Li Zhi and Li Yu walked side by side to the backyard. After nearly half a year of nourishment, both of them had obvious changes.
Li Zhi, who was originally a little thin, became strong and powerful. His long hair that was originally standing up was turned into a buzz cut, making him look very powerful.
After being nourished by Li Zhi, the originally thin Li Yu not only had a ruddy complexion and no longer looked sickly, but also grew taller and was only half a head shorter than the 1.8-meter-tall Li Zhi.
Yaxiu sat on the armchair, sipping tea and said slowly: "Have you entered the Wuwei Chef?"
"Yes, teacher." Li Zhi nodded.
"From now on, you and Li Yu should call me Master," Yaxiu said calmly.
"Ah, can I do it too?" The young girl Li Yu was a little surprised.
"You are talented in cooking. It doesn't matter if I accept one or two. It would be a good story if you and your sister were to become my disciples together." Ash put down his teacup and said, "Or do you not want to?"
"Of course I am willing!" Li Yu said hurriedly, and then she and Li Zhi changed their way of addressing him and called him Master.
"Since you have chosen me as your master, these two are my gifts to you." With a wave of his hand, two colorful marks were imprinted into Li Yu and Li Zhi's bodies.
"This is the Dream Enlightenment Trace I collected in the Dream World. It can permanently improve a person's enlightenment. Unfortunately, it is of no use to me now, but it is just right for you two."
"Thank you, Master." Li Yu and Li Zhi said.
"Since you have joined my sect, there are some things you should know." Yaxiu changed back to his original appearance, and Li Zhi and Li Yu fell into a trance in an instant.
"Cough." Ash coughed lightly, and the sword intent emanated, shocking the two of them out of the charmed state. Otherwise, if there were any cases of rebellion against the master in the future, it would be a big joke.
"My real name is Ash, and this is who I really am."
After saying that, Ash returned to his ordinary appearance, otherwise the Li Zhi siblings would fall into the enchanted state again.
"What I really learned was not the Burning Art and the Six Harmonies Sword. These two were just separated from what I learned and created specifically for the Five Flavors Chef." Yaxiu said, "So you must be prepared to open up your own path forward, because I don't have any subsequent paths either."
"As for the fact that what I really learned is not suitable for you, you should forget about it. You are not talented enough, and you are more suitable for the Wuwei Chef direction. Otherwise, I would not accept you as my disciples."
Yaxiu threw two inheritance crystals to Li Zhi and his sister: "This is the knowledge I compiled about the career system and the development ideas with [Five Flavors Chef] as the core. Keep them."
"Now it's your turn to ask questions, and I'll do my best to answer them," Ash said.
"Master, are you planning to teach us for a while and then just leave us alone?" Li Yu asked first.
"Not really. After all, you two are my first pair of disciples. Even after I finish my business in the Chonglong Empire, I will still leave an avatar by your side to teach you." Ash shook his head.
Li Zhi and Li Yu both breathed a sigh of relief. Professional training, having guidance and having no guidance are two completely different things.
Then Li Zhi asked: "Master, why do you want to hide your identity and avoid your enemies?"
"I'm not hiding, I'm covering for you. I'll still use my real name when I go out." Ash shook his head and said, "Even though Wuwei Martial Arts School was created on a whim, I won't let it be destroyed."
"Wherever I appear, Khorne's Chosen will appear. When I am here, I can naturally protect you from worry, but if I leave, you will probably be in trouble."
"So to avoid this situation, I changed my name to Lin Xiu and cut ties with Wuwei Martial Arts School."
"Master, what did you do to make Khorne hate you so much? Where are you? Where is His Chosen One?" Li Zhi's throat rolled.
The country most coveted by Khorne is none other than the Heavy Dragon Empire, a country composed entirely of warriors. Therefore, this place has always been the place most corrupted by Khorne.
Ordinary people were also terrified of Khorne. Li Zhi was just an ordinary citizen before, so naturally he still retained his fear of Khorne.
Hearing that his master and Khorne were mortal enemies, he inevitably felt a shadow in his heart.
"I killed one of His divine incarnations and one of God's Chosen Ones. Oh, and scolded Him as well." Ash said lightly, then patted Li Zhi on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid. You don't have to go through this. I'll probably have killed Him before you grow up."
There was a strong confidence in his words, which calmed Li Zhi and his sister down.
