181: People seem to have underestimated culinary skills!

Su Yao took a deep breath, stepped forward, hugged Chu Yuan's arm, and said through gritted teeth:

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister only just stepped into the Spirit Soul Realm a few months ago, but what should I do if I want to quickly improve my strength?"

Chu Yuan smiled, "Senior Sister, haste makes waste!"

Su Yao's mouth twitched, and the strength of her hug increased slightly, "Just tell me if you have something or not?"

Chu Yuan quickly laughed, "I was just teasing Senior Sister. Of course, I prepared something for Senior Sister."

Saying this, he took out a Medicinal Pill bottle containing a single spirit transformation pill.

Su Yao took the Medicinal Pill bottle, revealing a smile as she said, "Junior Brother is truly obedient. Then Senior Sister will go Cultivate now."

After speaking, she turned and ran back to her pavilion.

Han Linger held the Medicinal Pill in her hand, looking reluctant, "Senior Brother, I'll go prepare now. You must act as my Protector afterward!"

"Alright!"

Seeing Chu Yuan nod, Han Linger finally left, looking back three times with every step.

Ye Qingyi chuckled, "Little Brother's charm is truly great; even Junior Sister has fallen for him."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan looked at her and blinked his eyes, "What about Sister Qingyi?"

"Me?"

Ye Qingyi's ears slightly flushed, and she shook her head, saying, "Of course I like Little Brother, but I like Little Brother's delicious food even more."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Chu Yuan's arm, blinking her large eyes.

"Little Brother, I'm craving food again."

Chu Yuan shook his head and laughed, "Let's go, head to my courtyard."

"Little Brother is the best."

... Time quickly arrived at night.

Chu Yuan casually set up a concealing array and once again stepped into the primal origin space.

First, he enhanced his brewing skill to Perfection, and while he was at it, he perfectly mastered a secret brewing recipe that Shangguan Xinglan had given him a few days prior.

Afterward, he immediately began enhancing the four arts: zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting.

Previously, while on the spirit boat, he had already finished reading the four classics.

After having Bai Zhi confirm that the Jade Slip was fine, he also viewed the memories and insights within it.

Thus, his four arts—zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting—had all reached the introductory level.

Now, it was naturally time to ascend to the heavens in a single step, waiting for the possible chance to show off.

After enhancing the four arts to Perfection, Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment, his gaze turning toward Culinary Skills.

Enhance!

In an instant, countless insights flooded in.

Time seemed to have passed for a thousand years, yet also for only an instant, before Chu Yuan recovered his senses.

At this moment, he felt that Culinary Skills were truly effortless.

Various ingredients could be casually combined to create all sorts of delicacies, no longer limited by recipes.

Moreover, he could now truly seal the fragrance entirely within the dishes.

In terms of Culinary Skills, the dishes he made could even rival Medicinal Pills with similar effects.

Chu Yuan smiled, left the primal origin space, and lay down contentedly on his bed.

The next day.

Han Linger impatiently sought out Chu Yuan, asking him to help act as Protector.

Chu Yuan naturally did not refuse.

After Han Linger consumed the spirit transformation pill, Spiritual Qi madly surged toward this area on Ziyan Peak.

Like a tide of Spiritual Qi, it continuously poured into Han Linger's body.

Her aura also began to rise steadily.

In just a flash.

Her aura suddenly changed, and Han Linger Broke Through to the Spirit Vortex Realm Middle Stage!

Seeing this, Chu Yuan promptly reminded her, "Junior Sister, suppress your strength with all your might and consolidate your Foundation."

Han Linger quickly nodded.

But no matter how much she suppressed it, her strength continued to Breakthrough extremely quickly.

In less than fifteen minutes, her aura had already reached Spirit Vortex Realm Perfection.

"Suppress it completely. Only when you feel your Meridians swelling with pain should you circulate the Spirit Core Realm Cultivation Technique."

Chu Yuan quickly warned her, and Han Linger obediently followed suit, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

After another moment, Han Linger's small face was flushed red, "Senior Brother, I can't hold on anymore."

"Then Breakthrough!"

Having received Chu Yuan's permission, Han Linger quickly switched to the Spirit Core chapter of the Cultivation Technique.

Under the infusion of spiritual energy, the Spirit Core quickly formed and continuously stabilized.

Seeing Han Linger's aura change again, stepping into the Spirit Core Realm Middle Stage, Chu Yuan quickly acted to dispel the remaining medicinal power of the spirit transformation pill from her body.

At this point, the Spiritual Qi gathered around Han Linger suddenly dissipated, scattering throughout Ziyan Peak.

Han Linger stood up, clenched her small fists, and said joyfully, "I actually Broke Through to the Spirit Core Realm so quickly. This is too unbelievable."

Ye Qingyi appeared, exclaiming, "It is unbelievable. This spirit transformation pill is somewhat exceeding expectations."

Bai Zhi nodded in agreement. She had never seen a Medicinal Pill with such efficacy.

Chu Yuan patted Han Linger's shoulder, "Next, don't Cultivate anymore. Focus entirely on practicing Spirit Skills to consolidate your cultivation."

"I understand, Senior Brother!"

Han Linger agreed, her small face full of smiles.

Chu Yuan smiled, "Last night, I accidentally had an Epiphany, and my Culinary Skills have improved. I'll make something for you all to try."

"That's great!"

Ye Qingyi said delightedly, "Little Brother, you really are too good."

Chu Yuan smiled, prepared some ingredients, and made four dishes.

The four people sat down.

Ye Qingyi quickly took a bite with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

But immediately afterward, a mysterious and profound aura quietly surfaced around her.

And then, she stopped moving.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly, and she looked at the dish on her chopsticks with surprise and uncertainty.

She quickly put it into her mouth and soon fell into the same state as Ye Qingyi.

Before Han Linger could react, she, like the other two, fell into a mysterious state.

Witnessing this, Chu Yuan, however, remained calm, looking as if he had expected it all along.

Spirit Soul Realm Perfection allows one to comprehend the Law of Heaven and Earth and condense a rudimentary form of the Law to step into the Spirit Venerable Realm.

When reaching Spirit Venerable Realm Perfection, as long as one Law reaches ninety percent comprehension, one can step into the Spirit God Realm.

Given the strength of his physique and Divine Soul, after stepping into the Spirit Soul Realm Late Stage, he was already sufficient to comprehend and condense a rudimentary form of the Law.

The Transcendent Culinary Skills allowed him to directly grasp and condense the rudimentary form of the Culinary Dao Law, and his comprehension level instantly reached 50% (five-tenths).

Chu Yuan suspected that if his physique or Divine Soul were not strong enough, it might have been even higher.

Also, due to the Culinary Dao Law, the dishes he made had a slight effect of helping one comprehend the Dao.

The state the three were in did not surprise him.

A short while later.

Bai Zhi was the first to wake up. She looked at Chu Yuan in astonishment, her eyes filled with horror and shock.

A Cultivator in the Spirit Soul Realm could actually make dishes have the effect of comprehending the Dao.

Although the effect was not outstanding, it was still extraordinary.

This brief moment was equivalent to several days of her own comprehension of the Law.

Immediately afterward, Ye Qingyi also woke up, her eyes similarly filled with shock.

The world seemed to have underestimated Culinary Skills!

Chu Yuan smiled and whispered, "The effect isn't strong. When my strength is greater, perhaps I can make something better."

"Furthermore, you can try the other three dishes. I specifically made them to have the same effect."

"However, only the first bite of each dish has an effect. You should try them."

The two nodded.

This slight Dao comprehension effect was better than nothing for them, but the deliciousness was absolutely heavenly!
