A Bite of Douluo Continent

The lower belly of this rare pig has a full nine layers of fat and lean meat.

This kind of meat is almost comparable to, and may even easily surpass, the highest grade of Wagyu beef.

This piece of pork belly seemed to come alive in Zhao Guibao's hands. As he demonstrated, the complex cooking process left Qi Han speechless. Even though Zhao Guibao had subconsciously slowed down his movements to accommodate Qi Han, Qi Han was still overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the process.

Only the finest pork, processed through the most intricate cooking steps, can create such a top-tier dish.

The Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Pork, which reached its peak upon its debut, is almost universally recognized as the pinnacle of pork belly cooking. Learning to make it is obviously not an easy task.

Although Zhao Guibao had a friendly smile on his face, he was serious and earnest about the dishes without any exaggeration. After demonstrating, as Qi Han began to try cooking on his own, Zhao Guibao's voice could be heard from time to time in the training space explaining the dishes.

This Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Pork dish involves five steps, in the following order: boiling, frying, stewing, braising, and steaming.

Each step of the process had extremely strict requirements. In one morning, Qi Han spent about 20 days in the training space, but he only roughly familiarized himself with the steps. None of the five steps met Zhao Guibao's requirements.

Samsung recipes are terrifying.

Fortunately, Qi Han had long been prepared for a protracted battle and was not discouraged by it.

After 20 days, Zhao Guibao's remnant soul was almost exhausted of its life energy. His figure gradually dimmed, but a smile appeared on his face. "Qi Han, even after I'm gone, you must practice diligently. When you reach my level, you'll be considered a master."

"Master Zhao, I've remembered what you said."

Although Zhao Guibao and Huang Jinglin had completely different personalities, Qi Han respected them greatly for their meticulous teaching and guidance. This was a true sharing of knowledge. Seeing that Zhao Guibao's remnant soul was about to dissipate, Qi Han's expression also became serious.

Zhao Guibao grinned, waved his hand, and the remnant soul disappeared into the training space in the next instant.

Qi Han remained silent for a moment before leaving the training space.

Once the remnant soul dissipates, it will return to the world and be reincarnated again. This is a good thing for the remnant soul itself, so Qi Han naturally doesn't need to be too sad. However, with the dissipation of the remnant soul, the hope of seeing his masters again in the future is slim.

"Once you become a master chef, perhaps you can follow in their footsteps and find them," Ruyi whispered comfortingly in her mind.

"A god-level chef?" Qi Han chuckled. "Still a long way off. Looks like I need to keep working hard."

He hasn't even met any of the prerequisites for becoming an intermediate chef yet.

Putting aside his myriad thoughts, Qi Han carried Gulu downstairs.

Now, Gulu can skillfully fetch its own cat food and has also learned to put the food into the dishwasher after it finishes eating.

That's not even the most outrageous part. It has even memorized the table numbers on both floors of the shop. Now it no longer needs to follow the Qin sisters around delivering dishes. All you need to do is pat its head and tell them the table number, and it will bring the dishes to the corresponding table on its own.

Gulu has become one of the official employees of Hanshi Restaurant. Moreover, in the hearts of many diners, Gulu's popularity even surpasses that of the Qin sisters. Many diners come here by name, specifically ordering some light dishes that are easy for Gulu to carry, just waiting for Gulu to bring the dishes to them.

Qi Han had long since gone from initial surprise to taking it for granted.

After all, it's a spirit beast cat, and it eats an average of one thousand-year dragon scale fish every day, so it's quite normal for it to become a spirit.

I wonder which is more self-disciplined, Gulu or that unscientific panda Wang Shiyi?

Chapter 184 The Awakening of the Remnant Star Douluo

The lunch break began uneventfully and ended peacefully.

No one knows who spread the news, but the fact that the Crown Prince entered a deep meditation after eating the delicacies of Hanshi last night has become widely known overnight. This has made Hanshi even more famous, and there were even more customers at noon than before. The dense crowd lined up in front of the store, almost affecting the business of other shops on Chenxing Street.

This is deep meditation! An opportunity that countless Soul Masters would only dream of. Could it really be achieved simply by eating a delicious meal?

Countless Soul Masters flocked to Hanshi to try it, which further boosted the popularity of Hanshi.

As a result, the completion time of the main quest six, as predicted by Ruyi, has been brought forward once again.

The main quest six, which was originally expected to be completed in just three days, has had its completion date moved up to tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Qi Han will be able to complete the sixth main quest and receive generous rewards.

This caused him to become so excited when he tried to practice Qing Palace Wanfu Meat in the training space in the afternoon that he lost focus and made mistakes several times.

Fortunately, Zhao Guibao's remnant soul had dissipated; otherwise, seeing him like this, I would definitely have given him a good talking-to.

Outside, there was someone even more excited than Qi Han.

...

"Bang!" Remnant Star Douluo pushed open the door of the cultivation room heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief.

However, he soon realized something was wrong with himself, his excitement faltered, and with a strange expression, he rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind.

After hastily washing away the grime and changing into brand-new fine clothes, Remnant Star Douluo moved like lightning, flying towards the imperial palace.

"Imperial city, all those who come here, halt!" a guard shouted at the palace gate. He then recognized the identity of Remnant Star Douluo and his face showed more respect. "Your Excellency, protector of the nation, please."

Anxious, Canxing ignored the guards and hurried towards the palace where the emperor was as the palace gates opened.

He could feel the changes in himself at that moment, and the more he felt them, the more alarmed he became.

Deep meditation!

The talent of the Remnant Star Douluo is not very high, otherwise he would not have only reached level 92 in soul power after cultivating for so long. His innate soul power is only level 7. He has reached his current level of cultivation thanks to the rare and precious materials he obtained after joining the Star Luo royal family.

As for deep meditation, he had never experienced it.

He knew his place; without other circumstances in his life, it would be almost impossible for him, Canxing, to enter that legendary deep meditation.

However, this impossible thing has now become a reality. He was sitting in his own quiet room and somehow entered into deep meditation.

Although the time spent in deep meditation is very short, what is a day to the outside world is just a blink of an eye to him.

To be more specific, the rules of heaven and earth were recorded in words in a book. However, as soon as he opened the first page, after only a glance and before he could remember a few words, the book was snatched away.

Even so, his understanding and control over the rules of heaven and earth have improved considerably.

After all, it was my first time doing deep meditation, and the improvement was quite significant.

How exactly do I enter into deep meditation?

In just a short while, Remnant Star Douluo had figured it out.

Those were the two dishes I ate!

There's definitely something wrong with those two dishes. How could normal dishes possibly stir up the primordial energy of heaven and earth and display such miraculous phenomena?

He would absolutely not believe it if someone told him that eating one or two dishes would allow him to enter a state of deep meditation.

However, upon actually seeing the two dishes that could trigger extraordinary phenomena, Remnant Star Douluo felt that it couldn't be more reasonable.

My ability to enter into deep meditation is definitely related to those two dishes.

At this moment, Remnant Star Douluo suddenly understood why the Tang Sect Master was so protective of his own and wouldn't allow him or the royal family to touch that restaurant.

The dishes are provided in unlimited quantities; as long as you have money, you can eat them every day. What does that mean?

Thinking hard!

Moreover, during the journey, Remnant Star Douluo subconsciously used his soul power to speed up.

Upon reaching the Title Douluo level, a vortex of soul power called the Soul Core will condense within the body, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy like a black hole. As the soul power is consumed, the Soul Core will automatically operate, absorbing spiritual energy to restore the soul power.

But as soon as he recovered, Remnant Star Douluo immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The speed at which his soul power circulated in his meridians increased by almost 10%, making his meridians wider and more resilient. His body seemed to become more transparent, a very mysterious feeling that was hard to describe.

It's as if one's body is more easily connected to the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Although he had never experienced such a situation before, Remnant Star Douluo was quite experienced and quickly connected it to the layer of mud on his body when he was a character.

Cleanse your bones and marrow!

I haven't taken any rare or precious herbs during this time, so such miraculous effects must be related to those two dishes!

Those two dishes, besides inducing deep meditation, actually had such miraculous effects?

He felt that the constraints within his body had been loosened, and the level 93 bottleneck, which he had almost no hope of breaking through in the past, now seemed to offer a glimmer of hope upon careful observation.

It's true that talent determines one's potential.

The Remnant Star Douluo has reached the seventh level of innate soul power, which is almost the limit. No matter how hard he tries to cultivate, it will be a long way off before he can break through.

However, after being cleansed of his bones and marrow by the boiled cabbage, his innate soul power reached level eight. The shackles of his innate nature were broken, and his upper limit was raised again. The bottleneck that was once out of reach became within reach.

"again and again."

With a soft sound, Remnant Star Douluo landed outside the main hall. After being informed by a servant, he was quickly received by Dai Yuansheng.

"The remnant star has descended! Someone, offer him a seat." Dai Yuansheng's face was filled with joy.

Last night, his son somehow entered the legendary deep meditation that only the most outstanding geniuses could enter, which excited Dai Yuansheng greatly. When he saw Remnant Star Douluo, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Qu stood beside Dai Yuansheng, a smile also appearing on his face.

The more talented the eldest prince is, the easier it will be for him to gain the support of the ministers and become the crown prince. He and Dai Yuansheng are birds of a feather, so this is also good news for him.

Taking a deep breath and organizing his thoughts, Remnant Star Douluo slowly began, "Your Majesty, Second Prime Minister, I ate two dishes at the Cold Food Festival yesterday noon, called Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth and Lamb Stuffed in Fish Belly."

“You already said that yesterday.” Dai Yuansheng nodded. At this moment, he no longer cared much about the restaurant called Hanshi.

Can a restaurant possibly compare to such a momentous event as the selection of a crown prince?

It's not worth mentioning at all.

"After returning, I cultivated as usual, but unexpectedly entered a deep meditation." Seeing that Dai Yuansheng did not take it seriously, Canxing Douluo's tone became more serious. "I suspect it was caused by the dishes from that Hanshi restaurant."

As soon as Remnant Star Douluo finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the palace was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

He looked up in surprise and found that both Dai Yuansheng and Zhao Qu had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Chapter 185 The Angel Family and the Star-Crowned Family (One more chapter at 8 PM)

The reason for Dai Yuansheng and Zhao Qu's awkwardness is actually quite simple.

Last night, news came from the Crown Prince's palace that the Crown Prince had entered a deep meditation. The two of them couldn't wait to announce it to the public at the morning court this morning, in order to prove the Crown Prince's outstanding talent and win more support from the ministers for making the Crown Prince the Crown Prince.

Now, Remnant Star Douluo's words have put the two of them in a difficult position.

Last night, the First Prince had just dined at Hanshi Restaurant. If what Remnant Star Douluo said is true, then the First Prince's deep meditation has nothing to do with his talent.

This effect is purely due to eating cold-natured foods.

No! We can't let this get out to everyone!
