The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 103 Tasting Dragon Meat Dishes, Changes in Gourmet Cells

After everyone washed off the bloodstains,

One after another, exquisite dishes of fire dragon meat were served.

Golden and crispy fried dragon meat; evenly sliced ​​pan-fried dragon steak; clear and refreshing dragon tail soup; steaming hot onion pizza —

The aroma filling the air was followed by a loud protest from someone's stomach.

The group exchanged smiles and then sat down at the table.

"Fallen, you—"

Marcus looked at Farin beside her, a hint of worry in her eyes.

After all, this is monster cuisine, and most adventurers are quite averse to it.

However, before Marcusil could finish speaking, Farin had already picked up a piece of fried fire dragon meat without hesitation.

The outer layer of the fried dragon meat cutlet is golden and crispy, and you can hear a slight "crunch" when you put chopsticks down on it.

As Farin put the fried dragon meat cutlet into her mouth, with a gentle bite, the crispy batter instantly shattered, revealing the tender and juicy dragon meat inside.

The piping hot gravy, infused with a rich meaty aroma, blends perfectly with the wheaty fragrance of the batter and the delicate sweetness of the chicken and snake eggs. There is not a trace of fishy or gamey taste; only pure and exquisite freshness spreads across the tongue.

Farin's eyes lit up instantly, a faint blush rose on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a clean and bright smile.

"tasty!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but take another bite, chewing even faster, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Leos and the others felt a little relieved.

At least Farin doesn't reject monster food.

Seeing Farin enjoying her meal, Leos couldn't wait any longer, picked up a piece of braised dragon meat, and put it in his mouth.

The meat is firm yet tender, with a noticeable chewiness when you bite into it. The rich sauce flavor permeates every fiber of the meat, offering a savory and slightly sweet aftertaste.

Chewing it along with the raw vegetables on the side, the refreshing vegetables neutralize the richness of the meat, and when dipped in a special sweet and sour sauce, multiple flavors unfold in your mouth layer by layer.

The rich sauce, the refreshing vegetables, and the chewy dragon meat blended perfectly, instantly awakening Leos's taste buds.

"This tastes absolutely amazing!"

Leios couldn't help but admire.

"The sauce did not mask the natural freshness of the dragon meat at all; on the contrary, it made the taste even richer."

Jiang Yan could no longer contain himself and his gaze fell on the fried dragon ribs made by Senxi.

When you pick up a piece with chopsticks, you can feel the firmness of the meat. When you put it in your mouth, you need to use your teeth to bite it down.

The texture of the dragon meat was completely different from any other meat he had ever eaten. It was very chewy but didn't get stuck in his teeth. As he chewed, the rich meaty aroma mixed with the mellow flavor of the sauce filled his mouth.

The savory flavor of the sauce, the original taste of the dragon meat, and the complex flavor of the spices intertwine, creating a layered taste experience with every bite that leaves you wanting more.

"Senshi, your cooking is absolutely amazing!"

Jiang Yan swallowed the Flame Dragon meat in his mouth and looked at Senxi.

"The pan-fried pork chop was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was completely absorbed into the meat. It was so delicious."

Senxi was also very pleased with Jiang Yan's praise, and then Senxi picked up a piece of the fried dragon cutlet that Jiang Yan had made.

A hint of surprise flashed in Senxi's eyes the moment he entered the entrance.

Unlike his rich and heavy flavors, Jiang Yan's pan-fried pork ribs are more tender and juicy, with the sweetness of honey and the fragrance of spices lingering in the mouth.

Paired with refreshing and palate-cleansing salted tree spirit flower lace, the taste is light yet rich, without any of the heaviness of the Fiery Dragon meat.

"Jiang Yan, your approach was also excellent."

Senxi looked at Jiang Yan and praised him very earnestly.

"The honey makes the dragon meat more tender, and the sweetness neutralizes the greasiness of the dragon meat. The combination of spices is also exquisite, a combination I never thought of."

Jiang Yan and Senxi exchanged a smile and began to enjoy the food again.

Jiang Yan took the bowl and ladled out a bowl of Dragon Tail Soup. The warm soup entered his mouth, and the rich umami flavor exploded on his tongue instantly.

The gelatinous substance from the dragon's tail is completely absorbed into the soup after long simmering, making the broth thick and smooth, with a rich and lingering flavor. The sweetness of onions and mandrake is just right, refreshing and enhancing the taste.

Then I picked up a slice of onion pizza. The crust was soft, and the melted cheese had a rich, creamy aroma that blended with the sweetness of the onions.

Of course, while enjoying the food, Jiang Yan also observed everyone's reactions.

Marcusel preferred braised dragon meat, while Leos and Chilchak accepted all kinds of meat, including fried dragon steak.

Enjoy the pan-fried pork chop, pork tail soup, and onion pizza in turn;

Farin loved the fried dragon meat cutlet, eating it one piece after another, her cheeks bulging, and her eyes shining brighter and brighter.

As Jiang Yan consumed a large amount of Flame Dragon meat, he gradually felt a surge of magical power spreading from his stomach and rapidly coursing throughout his body.

Jiang Yan was not surprised by this.

As a top-tier demonic creature, the flesh of the Flame Dragon naturally contains immense magical power.

In fact, he had felt the magic power when he ate monster dishes in the past, but those monsters did not contain much magic power, so the feeling was not as strong as that of the Flame Dragon meat.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Jiang Yan's expectations.

The magic power overflowing from the Flame Dragon's flesh was quickly absorbed and consumed by the gourmet cells in his body, like a sponge absorbing water.

As the food cells absorbed the magic, Jiang Yan quickly noticed that his "thoughts" were undergoing a strange change.

Subconsciously mobilizing his inner energy, he flicked his fingertips slightly, and a ball of light appeared, looking exactly the same as the light magic he had cast earlier.

Jiang Yan's pupils shrank sharply. He could actually use "mind" to cast magic?

"Inherent thought" and magic power are two completely different energy systems.

"Nian" is the vital energy produced by the body's cells.

The magic in the Dungeon Delight world comes from a strange power from another world, but it can be absorbed and utilized by humans.

Leos and the others watching Jiang Yan cast the light magic were completely bewildered, wondering why he was doing it.

However, seeing Jiang Yan deep in thought, no one disturbed him.

Jiang Yan calmed down and carefully sorted through the information in his mind. Combining it with the characteristics of the food cells, he gradually formed a general guess.

The essence of "Nian" is the life essence produced by the body's cells, but the cells in his body are not ordinary cells, but gourmet cells.

It can be said that his initial idea was a product of his culinary talent.

Gourmet cells can evolve, and it's clear that his gourmet cells underwent some changes after consuming magic, which in turn affected his Nen.

Simply put, his "Nen" has now become "Nen" containing magical properties. It retains the characteristics of "Nen" and also possesses the properties of magic, so it can naturally be used to cast spells.

--------

As for why this change didn't occur before, it's probably because the magic power he absorbed in the past was too diluted.

Even the most discerning food enthusiasts can be picky eaters.

The dragon meat I ate this time contained immense and pure magic, which aroused the appetite of my food cells.

Of course, there are still many unanswered questions.

But for now, this change is a good thing for Jiang Yan.

At least in a world without magic, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to cast spells.

However, this change is just beginning, and further exploration and practice are needed.

Regaining his composure, Jiang Yan resumed savoring the food.
