In truth, the previously given ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth were not even able to have him make a promise like this to Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei did not remain modest as he let the local G.o.d slowly drink from the iron pot. He then let a small ghost fetch a new iron pot, and continued to busy himself in front of the stove.

For him, he was delighted to be busy like this.

First, coming to the Local G.o.d Temple was not a waste, as it could now be considered as resulting in his plans working out. Dishes made with ingredients from the temple were things that allowed him to create rare quality dishes.

Second, by borrowing the local G.o.d's spirit rice and pickled vegetables, he would be able to finish the rare quality dishes required of him by the [Cooking] skill.

In less than forty minutes, the second pot of barbecued meat congee with pickled vegetables infused with yin energy had finished.

Wei Xiao Bei used his [Status Appraisal] to look at the congee's information.

What surprised Wei Xiao Bei slightly was that the congee that he made now had three differences compared to the congee he made prior.

Previously, the congee was able to temporarily increase his awareness by 5 points and his intelligence by 2 points. Now, it was able to temporarily increase his awareness by 3 points and his intelligence by 5 points!

There was no doubt that these changes had been caused by a difference in how he handled the ingredients.

However, it was still of rare quality!

This had confirmed Wei Xiao Bei's thoughts.

Naturally, he guessed that the biggest contribution to this was the spirit rice, pickled vegetables and the yin flames in the kitchen.

If it was only barbecued meat, the most he could create was high-quality dishes and not rare quality ones.

In the next few pots of congee, Wei Xiao Bei kept testing out the effect of different levels of heat on the congee.

Although the effect was only on the temporary attribute bonus, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he became more familiar with congee-like foods. This would allow him to cook congee much easier in the future.

In truth, this kind of cooking environment was hard to find.

Even in the real world, it would be hard to find something like yin flames.

While he was testing, he noticed the yin flames had an effect on improving the dish.

If he only used the yin flames like normal flames, then the dishes that he cooked would not reach a 100% rare quality rate.

Thus, when he continued cooking and letting the local G.o.d slowly taste, he decided he as well just take out all the barbecue inside his Small Holding Bag as well as the Fortune Tea he was holding on to.

He wanted to see what would happen if he cooked the rare quality barbecue, the Fortune Tea, the spirit rice, and the local G.o.d's pickled vegetables into a single congee dish.

The local G.o.d walked over when he saw Wei Xiao Bei taking out the ingredients from his Small Holding Bag, stopping him from directly pouring the Fortune Tea inside the pot. He took out a drop of Secondary Spring Water of Youth from his sleeves, “Never put in the Fortune Tea, it will have no effect at all. Try placing this in instead.”

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the local G.o.d. It could be seen that the local G.o.d was much more intimate with him compared to before, evident by him being willing to actually take out a drop of the spring water.

From this, it can be seen that his hard work was not a waste.

However, Wei Xiao Bei still had a lot of spring water himself. Moreover, one drop would probably not have that much of an effect on it.

In the end, he decided to put five drops of it from his Small Holding Bag into the pot.

Five drops were the local G.o.d's suggestion.

The local G.o.d did not actually have that much of an understanding of cooking, but as a local G.o.d, he had a type of fortune that normal people didn't. In other words, the local G.o.d's suggestion might not be that useful, but it was definitely not a bad thing.

The yin flames continued to lick the bottom of the pot as it let out a fragrant smell.

Wei Xiao Bei's expression became serious. The amount of rare quality barbecue he had was not that much. After giving some to his disciples, the amount he had was only enough to make two pots of congee. Thus the result of the first pot was very important.

If it failed, then he would only have one chance left.

Time slowly pa.s.sed. Even the local G.o.d that was eating congee at the side became quieter. As for the small ghosts, they had already been driven away by the local G.o.d to prevent them from affecting Wei Xiao Bei.

In the end, the power of the yin flames died down as Wei Xiao Bei impatiently opened the pot.

Eh?

Wei Xiao Bei's expression changed. Previously there was still a bit of fragrant smell when the congee had been boiling, but now there was none.

What's happening?

Could I have failed?

Looking at the meat floating in the congee, Wei Xiao Bei's heart sunk.

On the contrary, the experienced and knowledgeable local G.o.d could not help but widen his eyes when he saw the congee, “Can you let this old man have the first taste?”

His voice contained a trace of excitement as if he had seen something.

This required Wei Xiao Bei's attention as he immediately used [Status Appraisal] on it.

……

Immortal!

When Wei Xiao Bei saw its status, he could not help but be extremely surprised. He originally thought that he would only make a better rare quality dish, he did not expect to create an immortal quality dish.

Moreover, when the immortal quality dish came out, the Fledgling Life Altar that bred the small pig became excited. It kept sending Wei Xiao Bei signals asking him to feed it.

However, he did not pay any attention to it at the moment.

It could be said that the immortal quality dish was truly out of the ordinary.

The taste and fragrance could be ignored, but it could greatly increase stamina and mental strength!

If this was used with the Qin Family's Jian Arts of the Hard Metal Jian, it would simply become an overwhelming killing technique.

It must be known that using the Qin Family's Sa Shou Jian with the Hard Metal Jian would instantly consume the user's stamina!

This was why Wei Xiao Bei never used it.

Once he used it and the enemy survived, he would be dead.

However, having this immortal quality dish made everything different!

A single portion of the dish would allow him to release Sa Shou Jian once!

When he recalled the majestic power that came from Qin Qiong's figure, he could not help but become excited.

Other than increasing his stamina and mental strength, the temporary increase in all attributes was not bad.

However, what he was heated about was the 0.5 points permanent increase to his attributes!

0.5 points might look small but it was not!

Wei Xiao Bei did not know what effect it would have on his strength, agility, and vitality, which had all reached more than 40 points. But with the eleven sub-attributes from the remaining main attributes, it would give him a total of 5.5 points!

Converting it to evolution points would total to 1100 points!

Since the dish could be split into 10 portions, then it was 11000 points!

Naturally, the real effect might be a bit off the mark, but it still made Wei Xiao Bei happy nonetheless.

Additionally, the dish increased one's lifespan by a year.

This had already exceeded the effects of five drops of the spring water.

Five drops of spring water meant five years of lifespan extension. However, since the dish could be separated into 10 portions, this meant that it could give 10 years of life span extension. This was twice the effect.

No matter what was said, the dish had shown the true worth of his [Cooking] skill that had reached perfection.

The ingredients that could be rated as 100 became 200 after being cooked into a dis.h.!.+

Naturally, compared to the rare quality dish, the immortal quality dish could only be divided into ten portions.

However, even if that was so, it was a hard earned treasure.

After understanding its worth, Wei Xiao Bei would not let the local G.o.d eat too much of it. He only smiled and waved his right hand. The congee that did not let out any heat was placed into his Small Holding Bag.

“Ah. This…. This old man can help little brother Wei taste and evaluate it.”

Seeing the pot suddenly disappear, the local G.o.d's expression became a bit nervous. He acted as if someone had stolen his treasure, like a dog that had its bone stolen.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at the local G.o.d and smiled without saying anything.

In these kinds of situations, whoever spoke more would lose more.

The local G.o.d knew that although he had provided the spirit rice, pickled vegetables, and the kitchen, Wei Xiao Bei was still benevolent enough to let him taste and enjoy rare quality congee.

In truth, the rare quality congee was already enough to help his yin energy. In terms of time, it would help him stay for at least 300 years!

However, he also knew that the congee that Wei Xiao Bei just made had reached immortal quality! The benefits it had would far surpa.s.s the effects of the rare quality congee!

The most special characteristic of an immortal quality dish was having no smell. From its appearance, it looked like a dish that had already cooled down.

A rare quality dish would normally have its effect decrease due to having the fragrance dissipate. The immortal quality dish, on the other hand, had its fragrance infused. As long as it was not contaminated, its taste would not change even after 10 years.
