A Bite of Douluo Continent

Previously, many diners would bring their own wine to enjoy with the cold food, but now they don't have to do that anymore.

Is the wine served during the Cold Food Festival more delicious than other wines?

They were extremely excited.

Tang Qianqiu and Qi Poxiao found an empty table and sat down facing each other, while Yu Hua sat next to Tang Qianqiu.

There was one seat left at the four-person table, so Qi Poxiao pulled Cao Rang over as well.

After the four were seated, Qi Po-xiao looked up at Tang Qian-qiu and asked, "You've probably had all these dishes in Star Luo City, right? Any recommendations?"

Tang Qianqiu glanced at Qi Poxiao and said, "I remember you had quite a few hidden injuries back then, didn't you?"

"Nonsense, it's normal for someone over a hundred years old to have some hidden injuries." Qi Po-xiao said calmly.

Although Tang Qianqiu took an unconventional approach, not following the traditional plant-type soul master route, but instead using the Blue Silver Overlord Spear as his core and learning from a spear master to pursue a strong offensive path, his martial soul was still essentially Blue Silver Grass, which had a nourishing effect on the body. His spear intent was called Life-Giving Spear Intent, meaning endless life and relatively gentle.

But Qi Po Xiao is different; his martial soul is a spear, and his spear intent is extremely domineering.

Excessive rigidity leads to breakage, so Qi Poxiao's internal injuries are far more numerous than Tang Qianqiu's, and difficult to cure, which have worn down his body over the years.

This is also why, although the two are close in age, Qi Po-xiao looks aged and has white hair, while Tang Qian-qiu looks like a middle-aged man.

"Try the Imperial Blessing Pork, you might be pleasantly surprised." Tang Qianqiu glanced at the menu meaningfully, then fell silent.

"Huh?" Qi Po-xiao looked bewildered.

What do you mean?

This bastard doesn't finish his sentence?

He then turned to his disciple and asked, "What's the deal with that Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Meat?"

Facing his teacher, Cao Rang naturally dared not be as secretive as Tang Qianqiu.

However, Tang Qianqiu's words reminded him that, thinking of his teacher's condition, his eyes showed a hint of excitement. "Teacher, that Qing Palace Blessing Meat has the effect of removing chronic illnesses and can treat various hidden injuries without any side effects."

"This dish will definitely have a great effect on you!"

Qi Po-xiao's gaze was somewhat dazed. He stared blankly at Tang Qian-qiu, "You... all your hidden injuries are healed?"

Tang Qianqiu nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "If we were to fight again now, I could take on both of you by myself!"

"Pah!" Qi Po-xiao rolled his eyes, then his heart suddenly raced.

This strongest man in the world could no longer maintain his inner peace.

One hundred years!

He had been plagued by internal injuries for a full century. During this century, he had not even dared to use his full strength, because if he did, his physical condition would continue to deteriorate.

He could only sit idly in the golden tree, relying on the spiritual roots of heaven and earth to nourish himself and maintain his injuries.

Even so, it has been declining for the past hundred years.

If this Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Meat can truly heal one's hidden injuries...

"Give me a serving of Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Pork!"

Qi Po-xiao couldn't help but speak up.

Chapter 235 Mysterious Water Pill and Boiled Cabbage

"Sect...Sect Master, then I..."

Qi Po Xiao wasn't the only one who was astonished. Yu Hua, sitting next to Tang Qian Qiu, was also speechless with surprise when he first heard about the special effects of the Qing Palace Wanfu Meat.

“It should work for you too.” After a moment’s thought, Tang Qianqiu smiled slightly.

Over the years, Yu Hua has been engrossed in studying rare and precious medicinal herbs and various prescriptions, making significant contributions to the Tang Clan Pharmacy.

However, every medicine has its side effects, and he had accumulated a lot of erysipelas and other toxins in his body. Although these had not yet caused him too much trouble for his health, they still blocked the possibility of his cultivation progress.

These poisons and erysipelas are also considered chronic illnesses, and it is likely that the "Wanfu Meat" from the Qing Palace could cure them.

After all, that dish could even remove the evil spirit master's power from Tang Qianqiu's body.

"Then... I'll have a serving of Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Pork!"

"Boiled cabbage in clear broth can increase one level of innate soul power," Tang Qianqiu added quietly.

"This..." Yu Hua was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed, "Then bring me a serving of boiled cabbage in clear broth!"

His innate soul power was at level nine, so this boiled cabbage soup was just right for him.

"This boiled cabbage in clear broth can enhance innate soul power?" Qi Po-xiao, who had just calmed down from his excitement, was stunned again upon hearing this. "Wouldn't that mean we could mass-produce geniuses with full innate soul power?"

"Teacher, this dish can only be effective three times for one person." Cao Rang quickly explained after clearing his throat.

"Three times? That's a little better." Qi Po-xiao breathed a sigh of relief. If it could only be effective three times, it would be acceptable.

“But… it can be used in combination with the Profound Water Pill…” Tang Qianqiu said quietly, his face full of strangeness.

When he was in Xingluo City, he even conducted an experiment on this, having a Tang Sect disciple take the Xuan Shui Dan and then taste boiled cabbage. The result was that the two did not conflict at all.

The Mysterious Water Pill can also increase the level of innate soul power, but it can only be effective twice, while the Boiled Cabbage can be effective three times.

In other words, the combination of the two is enough to turn a Soul Master with a level 5 innate Soul Power into a genius Soul Master with full innate Soul Power.

“This…” Qi Po-xiao fell silent.

An increase of five levels in innate soul power is already quite significant.

Although it would cost tens of thousands of gold soul coins to collect two portions of Xuan Shui Pills and three portions of Boiled Cabbage, the price is still too cheap compared to its significance.

Generally speaking, those who reach the fifth level of innate soul power have a high probability of becoming a six-ring Soul Emperor in the future. A six-ring Soul Emperor is a core force in any field, and those who reach the seventh ring or above are considered high-level Soul Masters.

But this doesn't seem like a bad thing.

The appearance of boiled cabbage might give soul masters with poor innate talent a chance to improve themselves. After all, geniuses are always a minority in this world, and there are many who cannot cultivate or whose innate soul power is only at level one or two.

As a powerful figure at the Limit Douluo level, Qi Po Xiao clearly understands that talent is only one factor affecting strength. Demeanor and enlightenment are equally important for a Soul Master. It would be too naive to think that one can become powerful by relying on external things.

External aids can only raise the upper limit of the future; whether or not it can be reached depends on oneself.

Thinking of this, Qi Po-xiao's face showed some relief. "That's right, this boiled cabbage in clear broth is a good thing. Perhaps I can talk to the students in the academy and let them try it if they have the opportunity."

After all, compared to the Xuan Shui Dan, which is extremely rare, a serving of boiled cabbage is much cheaper, costing 1,000 gold soul coins.

but…

Qi Poxiao glanced deeply at Qi Han, who was busy in the kitchen.

This little guy is giving me more and more surprises.

"Sir, your Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Meat has arrived."

Fuya still doesn't know Qi Poxiao's identity, but judging from Dean Cao's respectful manner, he is obviously of high status, so she addresses him as "Old Gentleman".

Qi Po-xiao nodded and smiled, then looked expectantly at Fu-ya as she brought out her dishes.

The moment the dishes were served, the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, and a knowing look flashed in the eyes of the diners around.

This dish, which costs even more than the fish stuffed with mutton, is indeed unusual.

Nine-colored celestial light pierced through the endless mist, revealing the celestial palace hidden beneath the mist to the world. Apart from a few people who had already witnessed this extraordinary phenomenon, everyone else showed expressions of admiration and longing.

Qi Po Xiao's face showed a hint of surprise. "Such a scene can probably only be found in the legendary realm of gods, right?"

After praising the dishes, his gaze returned to the food in front of him.

The rich aroma of meat, along with the fragrance of chestnuts and other ingredients, filled Qi Po-xiao's mouth and nose, making him swallow hard.

The Shrek chef's cooking was delicious enough, but compared to Qi Han's cooking, it was still quite a bit inferior.

Having not tasted Qi Han's delicious cooking for a month, Qi Po Xiao had been craving it for a long time, and could hardly resist such a pure and wonderful aroma of meat.

He picked up his chopsticks, carefully pinched the flower-shaped piece of pork belly off the edge, and then picked up a piece of pork belly about ten centimeters long and put it into his mouth.

As Qi Po-xiao moved his chopsticks, the pork belly trembled slightly, its skin shimmering with a subtle sheen, making it look extremely tempting.

As the pork belly entered his mouth, Qi Po-xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

The rich and delicious meat flavor, fatty yet not greasy, lingered between his lips and teeth with a full and satisfying taste.

As Qi Po-xiao chewed, the juices from the tender yet firm pork belly slowly burst forth, lingering on his tongue for a long time. The extremely rich and delicious aroma of the meat made him feel exceptionally comfortable and satisfied.

After taking a bite of pork belly, Qi Poxiao didn't touch his chopsticks again.

As he savored the taste lingering on his tongue, he began to carefully sense the changes within his body.

Soon, a warm current slowly spread from the stomach to the limbs and bones, and wherever it passed, all the chronic ailments felt a slight tingling sensation.

The amount of meat was far too small, and Qi Po-xiao's body was riddled with chronic illnesses, so the tingling sensation didn't last long. It disappeared completely in about a breath.

Based on this situation, even a single serving of Qing Dynasty imperial meat would not be enough to completely cure his chronic illness.

But Qi Po-xiao's face showed even more joy.

efficient!

It really works!

If one serving isn't enough, then we'll have a few more; this isn't a problem for Qi Poxiao.

The long-standing ailments and hidden injuries that had plagued him for so many years finally had hope of relief, which was of immense significance to him.

In a sense, this can be considered a life-saving grace.

Qi Po-xiao took one last deep look at Qi Han in the kitchen, but ultimately said nothing.

Qi Poxiao accepted this kindness.

Seeing the joy on Qi Po-xiao's face, Yu Hua felt even more expectant.

If it works on Qi Gezhu as well, then this Qing Dynasty Imperial Blessing Meat should also be effective for me, right?

His innate soul power level is not low, but his current cultivation level is not high. The main reason is that the poison in his body is congested and mixed with the poison of pills and medicine, which hinders the improvement of his cultivation level. In addition, it is inherently difficult to improve a healing-type martial soul.

If the poison from the medicines and pills in his body is completely removed, with his accumulated strength over the years, it is possible for him to break through to level 92 in a short period of time, or even reach level 93.

How could he not be extremely excited?
