A Bite of Douluo Continent

Or rather, they knew part of it.

These expensive dishes each possessed a unique effect that was so magical he couldn't believe it.

What dishes can help you enter a deep meditative state?

What dishes can increase a person's innate soul power?

What dishes can cure chronic illnesses?

"Hiss..." Yuehen took a deep breath. "Brother Kang, is everything written here... true?"

He couldn't help but suspect that everything described on the menu challenged his understanding.

“Of course.” Kang Rong was not surprised by Yuehen’s surprise. “Believe me, countless people have ordered these dishes, and these special effects are real.”

“Take this boiled cabbage in clear broth for example.” Kang Rong pointed to the page Yuehen was currently reading. “I ate a serving of it. That very night, I felt my meridians were more unobstructed, and I could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more easily. My cultivation, which had not progressed for two years, even showed signs of a breakthrough.”

"Brother Yue, maybe I can break through to Soul Saint before you?" Kang Rong laughed and winked at Yuehen.

With his old friend's firsthand account, Yuehen's doubts vanished, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

You absolutely must try these dishes!

Especially the boiled cabbage, Yue Lian must try it!

The special effects of boiled cabbage can be applied three times!

It should be noted that Yue Lian's innate soul power is level eight. It only needs to be activated twice to make Yue Lian a prodigy with full innate soul power.

Innate full soul power!

Only a handful of such talents can emerge in a century, but with this boiled cabbage, it's possible to achieve that so easily.

How could Yuehen not be excited?

He himself didn't care, since he had been stuck in the current sixth environment for quite some time anyway.

But no matter how hard life is, we can't let our children suffer; no matter how poor we are, we can't neglect our spiritual practice!

"Let's have two servings of boiled cabbage in clear broth!" Yuehen quickly said, then looked at Yuelian, who was still looking down at the food on the menu with longing, "Lian'er, these two servings are for you later."

"Huh?" Yue Lian looked up in a daze; she hadn't even seen the boiled cabbage yet.

The Dongpo pork knuckle, which was listed at the front of the line, made her mouth water.

"Um... excuse me." Fuya, who was waiting for the three of them to order, couldn't help but speak up, "Eating multiple servings of boiled cabbage in clear broth cannot have multiple effects at the same time. You need to wait for the first serving to take effect before you can eat the second serving."

“That’s it!” Yuehen patted his head.

Concern leads to confusion.

Isn't the same true for rare and precious herbs? If you take too much at once, you can't absorb it all at once. You need to absorb it completely before taking it a second time.

This dish is so magical that it's probably comparable to rare and precious ingredients.

"And..." Fuya looked at the adorable Yue Lian with a smile on her face, "The boss said he would give little Yue Lian a bowl of boiled cabbage in clear broth as a gift from him."

"This..." Yuehen's expression changed slightly, "How could I possibly accept this..."

"The boss also said, please don't refuse, senior," Fuya said earnestly, looking at Yuehen.

"Well... alright." Yuehen gave Qi Han, who was busy in the kitchen, a deep look. "Then please thank my young friend Qi for me."

This gift was exceptionally valuable, but Yuehen could not refuse it.

Within his family, he himself was the strongest cultivator, and Yue Lian was the most talented child in the family for hundreds of years, which is why she possessed an eighth-level innate soul power, and was therefore cherished by Yue Hen.

A family whose highest cultivation level is only Soul Emperor will not live too badly, but they will not be considered too wealthy either.

Not every faction is as wealthy and powerful as the Tang Clan.

At least, Yuehen was very reluctant to spend a thousand gold soul coins at once.

In order to get Yuelian to take two servings of boiled cabbage soup, he was mentally prepared to not take it himself and even to tighten his belt for a period of time afterward.

Therefore, he couldn't refuse Qi Han's gift.

"Then let's not boil water..."

"No!" Before Yuehen could finish speaking, Yuelian, who was looking down at the menu, suddenly looked up.

Although she hadn't seen boiled cabbage in clear broth before, she casually flipped to the description of boiled cabbage in clear broth when Yuehen mentioned the dish.

Therefore, she now knew the magical effects of this dish.

I also learned why my grandfather was so excited.

One thousand gold soul coins...that's a lot.

Yue Lian's current allowance is only one gold soul coin a week, and that's only because she's the most talented child in the family and receives her grandfather's favor.

One thousand gold soul coins...

Yue Lian counted on her fingers.

It would take twenty years of saving up pocket money to earn that!

Although Yue Lian is young, she is very sensible. In order to improve her innate soul power and make her talent better, her grandfather took out two thousand gold soul coins, which was almost half of the family's savings.

Grandpa used all that money to buy himself boiled cabbage and water, but he didn't ask for a portion for himself.

That won't do!

Clearly... this boiled cabbage soup is also very helpful for Grandpa.

"Grandpa, I want you to have a bowl of boiled cabbage in clear broth, okay?" Yue Lian pouted and twisted her body.

This was her usual trick of acting cute; every time she did it, her grandfather would agree to her requests.

However, this time, Yue Lian was destined to be disappointed.

Yuehen's expression was somewhat serious. "Lian'er, be good. Lian'er, just eat. Grandpa doesn't need it."

Why doesn't being cute anymore?

Yue Lian was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes quickly welled up with tears. "I don't care, Grandpa wants to eat too."

She gritted her teeth, "If Grandpa doesn't eat, then Lian'er won't eat either!"

Yuehen was taken aback. He reached out and patted Yuelian's head. "Lian'er, don't you want to have innate full soul power? This is a talent that only geniuses have in a hundred years. As long as you eat two servings of boiled cabbage, you can have it."

"Lian'er doesn't want it." Yue Lian shook her head. "Lian'er wants Grandpa to eat it!"

"Brother Yue Lao, you should try some too," Kang Rong urged. "I still have a little money; this boiled cabbage..."

"Brother Kang, let's not talk about this anymore." Yuehen hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, "Never mind."

"Lian'er, be good. Grandpa will eat with you. I'll have one serving, and you can have two, okay?"

"Ok!"

Seeing his beloved granddaughter smile again, Yuehen's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Now he's figured it out.

I'm currently at level 68 in soul power. After eating this boiled cabbage, I'll be able to break through to Soul Saint very soon.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Soul Saint level and gains the power of their Martial Soul True Body, their strength will increase significantly. At that time, they can work hard to earn more money and recoup the 1,000 gold Soul Coins.

Lian'er has been clever and quick-witted since she was a child, but... even Yuehen herself never imagined that this child would be so sensible.

Thinking of this, Yuehen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Yuelian, his own granddaughter.

His joy at having such a granddaughter surpassed even his own breakthrough to the Soul Saint realm.

(P.S.: I was busy with my graduation thesis proposal for a while, and I feel like it wasn't very good. I just finished it today, and things should get better from here on out. The food festival is also almost over.)

Chapter 315 The Squirrel Mandarin Fish That Overpowers Three Stars

After fully understanding the situation, Yuehen was no longer hesitant or restrained.

According to Kang Rong, most of the ingredients in the food here are related to various spirit beasts. Even if they don't have any special effects, consuming them can still improve one's cultivation level.

Although expensive, they are all worth the price.

Soon enough, the grandfather and grandson huddled together and whispered to each other, choosing the food they needed.

Since they had already accepted Qi Han's kindness and the complimentary boiled cabbage, the grandfather and granddaughter only needed to order one more dish. As for the rest, Yuehen ordered a large portion of fried rice for himself, but ordered several of Yuelian's favorite dishes.

For example, candied hawthorn berries.

We've already ordered dishes costing thousands of gold coins, so what's left is just a small amount, and there's no need to be stingy.

After the Yue family grandfather and grandson finished ordering, Kang Rong also started ordering.

At noon, Kang Rong, as the host, treated everyone to lunch at Kowloon Cuisine. Yuehen originally planned to reciprocate in the afternoon, but Kang Rong refused no matter what.

How can a host be invited by a guest?

The two were deadlocked and finally decided to each pay their own share.

Even when they first met in their youth, Yuehen was such a principled guy, so Kangrong had no complaints.

After the three of them finished ordering, Fuya returned to the kitchen.

Originally, she only needed to give the order to Qi Han, but thinking about what had just happened, after a slight hesitation, Fuya still briefly told Qi Han about it.

After hearing this, Qi Han's face showed a look of astonishment.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

The reason I thought of sending her a plate of boiled cabbage was simply because I really liked this little girl, Yue Lian. I thought that since she would be admitted to Shrek Academy in the future, boiled cabbage would be of the greatest help to her in improving her aptitude.

He originally thought that Yuehen, as a sixth-ring Soul Emperor, must be quite wealthy, and that the boiled cabbage he sent was just icing on the cake.

After all, some of the Soul Emperors he knew, whether they were disciples of the Tang Sect or students of Shrek Academy, seemed to come from very good families, which led him to mistakenly believe that all six-ring experts had quite a wealthy family background.

Unexpectedly, Yuehen's situation was not as good as he had imagined. His act of sending her this plate of boiled cabbage in water turned out to be a timely act of kindness.

It's a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have simply sent one to each person.

It's too late to send another one now.
