People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 184 The possibility of ancient dragon power being pieced together

Chihuyan, the backyard of Wanmin Hall.

After Lin Feng and Zhong Li finished their communication,
After struggling for a long time, Xiangling finally made her own creation using these "unimaginably perfect ingredients".

"Hey, hey, the food is here!"

"Thanks to your ingredients, this is definitely the most perfect product I have ever made. Try it, I will definitely not let you down!"

Xiangling, full of confidence, ran around, as if she couldn't wait, and brought the prepared dishes to the table.

"."

Lin Feng was originally worried about whether he would eat dark dishes like "Grilled Fish on a Chuchu Stick" and "Slime Mushroom" as described in the illustrated book.

After seeing the delicious dishes in front of me, I finally put my mind at ease.

After exchanging a glance with Zhongli, they each picked up a piece of boiled fish and Jueyun's stir-fried pork with peppers.

"."

!!!

As soon as Lin Feng took a bite of the boiled fish, he was shocked by its unexpected deliciousness.

——The fish fillet is firm and full, fresh and tasty. Just one sip and it’s so smooth and tender that it seems like it wants to slip away at any time.

In addition to the taste, the dishes covered with red oil are also fragrant, spicy but not dry.
There was no pungent spicy taste as expected, which formed a certain contrast with the eye-catching red appearance.

It’s not like he hasn’t tried the food in Liyue restaurants before.

Before the Emperor cooked for him personally,

He was not short of money, and had visited both the "Liuliting" representing the pinnacle of glass cuisine and the "Xinyuexuan" which was the signature restaurant of moon cuisine more than once.

Although it is not worth making a reservation three months in advance to dine in, the taste of the dishes is always similar even if you take away.

However, these two restaurants representing the pinnacle of cuisine had no obvious advantages over Xiangling's boiled black-back sea bass, and in his opinion, they were even slightly inferior.

This boiled fish dish looks plain and simple in appearance, but although it uses a lot of chili peppers, it also uses fruits and grass leaves to dilute the spiciness and blend the taste, forming a unique complex flavor.

It can be said to be a unique dish that combines the rich style of Li Cai's oily texture and the fresh, fragrant and nourishing characteristics of Yue Cai.

Glancing at the Emperor beside him, Lin Feng discovered that Zhongli's performance was similar.
He has always been very picky about food, but he actually showed a rare look of satisfaction.

Seeing Xiangling's expectant look beside him, Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and said sincerely:
"Ms. Xiangling, you really gave me a big surprise. This is more than just a level of not being disappointed.
In my opinion, this dish has reached perfection in terms of not only the choice of ingredients, but also the cooking time and seasoning. It can be called a masterpiece.”

"Even the ingredients I gave you, you were able to use them perfectly in your dishes when you first encountered them. This is something that most chefs can't do."

Extraordinary ingredients not only have advantages, but drastic changes in color, aroma and taste are also a challenge for chefs.

After hearing the compliment, Xiangling scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

As if she had thought of something, she ran back to the kitchen and handed a box of purple powdered seasoning to the guest in front of her:

"Oh, oh, I almost forgot to return this to you, little brother!"

"——I didn't expect you to have prepared glass bag powder here. I have climbed so many mountains, but I have never seen spices of such high quality. This time, the dishes can satisfy you, and it has played an indispensable role!"

The girl, who had just been busy in the kitchen for half a day, looked at the box of high-quality seasoning in her hand, which she had never seen before, with some reluctance. Although she felt a little heartbroken, she still planned to return it to the boy in front of her.

After all, it is extremely difficult to collect colored glass bags, so their value is actually quite high.
In particular, spices that have been processed, dried, and ground into powder are extremely precious even as medicinal materials.

The higher the glass bag grows from the ground, the better its quality.

In the past, she had cut her knees many times by the gravel on the cliffs in order to pick some common glass bags growing on the cliffs for cooking.

As for the box of excellent quality fruits in her hand, she couldn't imagine how difficult it was to pick them.

Although the seasoning and other ingredients were given out this time, such valuable things obviously cannot be left like this and must be returned as soon as possible.

"."

Lin Feng looked at Xiang Ling in front of him with a somewhat subtle look on her face.
I didn't expect that my box of glass bag powder would be so popular.
——It’s obvious that Zhongli and Baizhu both acted as if they were used to it.

He shook his head, because he could pick a lot of glass bags at home.

Lin Feng, who had never taken this matter to heart, looked at the overly honest girl in front of him and said directly:
"No need, it's just a box of condiments. You've allowed me to try so many unique dishes, so just leave this as a thank you gift."

"Ah, this"

Xiangling was a little hesitant.

"."

"Haha, although my friend is not particular about details, he is very picky about food. There are not many chefs that he can approve of."

"——Since you said you want it as a gift, then Miss Xiangling can accept it along with the gift in my hand."

Zhongli, who was standing by, saw his old friend spinning in circles beside him, so he smiled and chose the right time to interrupt.

After saying that, he took out a wooden box with exquisite patterns from somewhere and handed it to the girl in front of him.

"."

"Wow, thank you so much!"

".I'll tell my dad right now that whenever I see you two coming to eat, I'll give you the highest discount. Otherwise, I'll just waive the bill for you guys when I'm at Wanmin Hall!"

Looking at Xiangling who was obviously a little too excited,
Lin Feng smiled and did not refuse such a special offer. Instead, he and Zhongli invited her to sit at the table to taste the meal that she had worked hard to prepare for half a day.

Perhaps it was because the girl in front of him didn't have any complicated thoughts.
It was clearly just their first meeting, but because of Guoba's preference for Lin Feng and the ingredients he gave as a gift when they met, he had a high initial impression of him.

As they ate, she quickly became familiar with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, who had a rare opportunity to get a wave of gold coins with the old man,

Because Xiangling has a lively and cheerful temperament, she was in a surprisingly good mood during the chat and felt that the food she gave was worth it.

After Zhongli proposed to borrow Guoba for a short period of time one day in the future and got the little guy's consent, the dinner at Wanmin Hall came to an end.

After saying goodbye to Xiangling and Guoba, Lin Feng and the old man walked back to Bubu Lu slowly as they did in the past.

Near noon in Liyue Harbor, even the alleys were bustling with people.

But when the crowd came to the two young men, it was as if they were separated by some force.
I would always unconsciously walk around them quickly and not realize that I actually encountered two large obstacles in the middle of the road.

And these two figures are naturally Lin Feng and Zhongli.

On the way back, thinking of the salt grains as fine as snow in the box that Zhongli had just handed over, Lin Feng asked curiously:
"Old man, judging from the faint smell coming from the box of 'seasoning' you just gave me, I'm afraid the origin of this thing is not simple, right?"

Although Lin Feng had already discovered that Zhongli was actually like a full treasure chest, with all kinds of strange things collected in it,
But he was still a little surprised that he would give that kind of thing to Xiangling today.

"Haha, I guess you have sensed the aura of the devil above, right?"

"Don't worry. Although ordinary demon creations often unintentionally affect the surrounding creatures,

——But this demon is special. Her creations will not cause any harm to humans.
On the contrary, these salts are just high-quality, delicious condiments for ordinary people, and if consumed for a long time, they may even have some benefits. "

Zhongli paused here, looked at Lin Feng beside him, and said:
"——Didn't you eat a lot in Bubulu before?"

Lin Feng: "."

Didn't you say before that it was the salt that Heuliah made with his authority?

Seeing that his friend seemed a little confused, Zhong Li explained:

"The salt I just gave to Miss Xiangling and the salt I use in cooking every day actually came from a god thousands of years ago, the Salt Demon God 'Heulia'."

"Because the power of this demon god is to create and transform salt, and he often uses pure salt to exchange supplies for the people under his rule.

So there were actually quite a few high-quality condiments circulating in the market at that time.”

"It's just that because it's so old, the salt circulating in the market has been almost consumed except for the one I have, which makes it more precious."

Lin Feng: “.” Is this the benefit of living a long life?
Things from thousands of years ago are still in my hands.

Even though it was an ordinary item at that time, now in the eyes of most people, its value should be far more than just the word "condiment".

Giving it to Xiangling as food just like that, one can only say that the old man is very optimistic about this little girl.

"Speaking of which, salt is actually a kind of rock elemental authority. Although it is a bit too fragmented, it still belongs to the same field after all."

"——And the reward I intend to give you is also related to these scattered rock elemental powers."

When Zhongli said this, he took out a new box from somewhere.
What emanated from this box was not just the vague aura of the devil that Lin Feng had sensed before.

When Lin Feng looked at it, it was as if he saw the fruit of Wei Ye at that time, and he had a rare feeling of longing.

"Is this... the scattered authority that has been collected?"

After just a slight feeling, Lin Feng knew what this thing was.

——Judging from the characteristics of the power, this is most likely the broken authority of the Salt Demon Herulia. I just don't know when Zhongli collected them.

"That's right. When you got the authority, I also did some research.
Because this process is achieved through contact with the throne, and the throne is precisely the aggregation of authority. "

“So I guess, as long as you have a certain level of completeness, you should be able to obtain other powers besides the elements.”

"——And I have quite a few scattered powers over rock elements in my hands.

If you can combine them with yourself and further improve your own authority, then perhaps in the future you will have the hope of reaching a level far beyond that of an ordinary god."

At this point, Zhongli took out another box from his body.
Although it also exudes an extremely strong demonic aura, this time the box does not contain salt grains, but a piece of emerald green jade like the finest jade.

Is this green jade the remnant of the Demon God’s Jade?
Thinking of the introduction of the Hepu Kite in the game, Lin Feng had a rough guess about the origin of this thing.

I didn't realize it before, but now Lin Feng found out that Zhongli has so many good things.
The old man must have accumulated a lot of demon debris over thousands of years, and now that he has taken out the authority of the rock demon,
!!!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng shuddered.
I finally understood what kind of rewards Zhongli had prepared for the various scattered commissions in the future.

——I can only say that it is indeed a price that I cannot refuse.

Zhongli was not surprised by Lin Feng's reaction. It was obvious that he already knew the reward he had prepared, which was very attractive to his friend.

Putting away the two boxes in his hands, he said:
"Liyue is vast, and there are many problems left over from the Demon War.

Some of these I can handle, but others can only be solved by your characteristics, my friend."

"——Of course, I won't let you help me in vain. The reward I prepared for these commissions is these fragments of the complete rock elemental authority that I have left in my hands."

"——I think if you can take all the authority in these fragments into your own hands after the last commission is completed,

Then perhaps an 'impossible' existence could be born on this continent."

I thought of some secrets about the Ancient Dragon that another old friend of mine had revealed.

Zhongli was also somewhat curious about what would happen on that day in the future.

The young man in front of me seemed to understand what I wanted to say in just a few words.
Zhongli, who was already used to his miraculous qualities, shook his head, put aside the questions that he would face later, and said:
"I will gradually hand over these rewards to you in the subsequent commissions.
If there are any omissions, I will provide clues to help you find them, so there is no need to worry."

"——But the continuation of everything must have a beginning that complies with the system."

"The Immortal Invitation Ceremony is about to begin. Let's focus on the contract between Liyue and Xumi."

"——After all, for the two countries, such a divine covenant should be unprecedented."

Thinking about the contract that he would have to sign in public at the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, Zhongli, who knew that such matters could not be taken lightly,
While speaking, he also began to carefully consider the various clauses that should be included.
