A Bite of Douluo Continent

Could it be that if that Wensi Tofu wasn't a low-budget version, it was also a magical dish capable of triggering extraordinary phenomena?

Thinking about this, Meng Yun suddenly understood why the owner only offered the low-end version during the food competition...

If you were to bring out the real Wensi Tofu, I'm sure everyone would be shocked.

whee!

Thinking of this, Meng Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qi Han looked at Meng Yun, who had suddenly burst into laughter, with some surprise, then turned to De Hongchen, "Grandpa De, the Qing Palace Blessing Meat can cure Shen Ke. How do you feel about those hidden injuries in your body?"

De Hongchen was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand something. "Little Qi, is it because I mentioned the hidden injury yesterday that you prepared this dish for me?"

"Yes." Qi Han nodded. "How much has your internal injury healed? If it's not enough, I'll make you another one."

"That's enough, that's enough." De Hongchen shook his head, a complex look in his eyes.

So, it was by sheer accident that I was able to get rid of the erysipelas in my body?

He had thought this dish was specifically for treating erysipelas, but Qi Han had guessed his identity.

So that's what it was all about?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and chuckled, then turned to look at Meng Yun, who was enjoying the delicious food. "In that case, this boiled cabbage must have some special purpose, right?"

Meng Yun stopped what she was doing and looked up at Qi Han curiously when she heard this.

She hasn't felt anything special yet. Could it be that this boiled cabbage in clear broth has some special effect?

The thought of its strange existence, similar to the "Ten Thousand Blessings Meat" of the Qing Dynasty palace, suddenly made Meng Yun's heart beat faster...

Since both exhibit unusual phenomena, this possibility is very high!

The fact that the boss specially prepared this dish for me means that this dish has a special function that can help me...

what is it then?

Qi Han smiled and, facing the curious and expectant old man and young man, gave his answer: "Boiled cabbage in clear broth, after consuming it, will increase your innate soul power by one level."

Gu Xin?

Meng Yun blinked, thinking he was hallucinating. "Boss, are you talking about innate soul power? Or soul power level?"

"Innate soul power."

Upon receiving Qi Han's affirmative reply, Meng Yun was briefly stunned before falling into ecstasy.

What does innate soul power represent?

It represents a Soul Master's talent and future potential.

This is also very important, even for Soul Masters.

Her innate soul power level is not high, only level six. Now that she has eaten this boiled cabbage soup, will she be able to reach level seven?

Although it sounded unbelievable, Meng Yun believed it since it was said by the boss.

Thinking of this, Meng Yun ate even faster.

In contrast, De Hongchen was much calmer when faced with this answer.

Although the improvement in his innate soul power was also miraculous, it was still somewhat inferior to the removal of the elixir poison for him.

However, he still chatted with Qi Han with great interest, "So, if you eat ten servings of this dish, you can go from an ordinary person who can't cultivate to a genius with innate full soul power?"

"Of course not." Qi Han shook his head. "This dish only works three times. Eating it more than that will have no effect."

"I see…"

...

After the two finished their dishes, Meng Yun reluctantly cleared away the dishes before looking at Qi Han with concern, "Boss, are you leaving Mingdu tomorrow?"

"That should be the case." Qi Han nodded. He planned to purchase a batch of soul tools in the morning and return through the teleportation portal in the afternoon.

The money left over from selling soul bones and the income from this period of business combined amount to more than one million gold soul coins, enough to buy quite a few soul tools.

"Then... please be careful." Meng Yun gave Qi Han a deep look, then turned and walked out of the store.

I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again after this parting.

With Meng Yun's departure, the Cold Food Shop fell silent once more. De Hongchen coughed lightly, "It's about time for me to leave as well."

"Okay." Qi Han smiled. "Grandpa De, please be careful on your way. It's already dark."

"Don't worry, my body isn't that fragile." De Hongchen chuckled, took out a bracelet-like soul tool from his pocket, and handed it to Qi Han. "I told you yesterday that I would give you some specialties from Mingdu. They're all packed in this storage soul tool."

"This is…"

Qi Han was about to take a look when De Hongchen subtly stopped him, saying, "Wait until I'm gone before you look at it. I'm sure you'll like this local specialty."

"Alright then." Qi Han smiled gratefully. "You've gone to so much trouble."

"Hehe, this is nothing." De Hongchen shook his head, then stood up. "I'm leaving too."

With that, he stepped out of the Cold Food Festival and disappeared at the end of the street.

Qi Han closed the shop door and then curiously examined the storage soul tool in his hand.

The storage soul tool is not of a high level, so the space is not large.

There wasn't much inside, just one book.

Books? What kind of local specialty is that?

Qi Han took it out curiously, and saw that it was written on the cover.

"Deconstruction of Basic Core Magic Arrays from Level 1 to Level 7 and Analysis of Corresponding Soul Guidance Devices"

There is also a line of small print at the bottom of the cover.

Author: De Hongchen.

Grandpa De, De Hongchen…

Qi Han's eyes widened suddenly.

He had stayed in Mingdu for a whole month. No matter how ignorant he was, how could he not know about the famous Imperial Tutor De Hongchen of the Sun Moon Empire?

The old man who would arrive at Hanshi Restaurant on time every day was actually the only level 10 Soul Master in the history of the Sun Moon Empire?

What he called local specialties turned out to be a complete set of soul tool data that directly pointed to a seventh-level soul master.

Chapter 529 Soul Guidance Device and New Recipe (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

At this moment, Qi Han was filled with surprise.

One reason was De Hongchen's identity; it was quite unexpected that this Imperial Tutor of the Sun and Moon would appear so discreetly during the Cold Food Festival.

What surprised him even more was the "local specialty" that De Hongchen had sent.

He had previously considered collecting detailed methods for making soul tools.

However, considering the difficulty of obtaining this information, Qi Han ultimately chose to give up and instead purchase various soul tools to bring back to Douluo Continent.

Then a detailed list of soul tools, ranging from level one to level seven, appeared in his hands.

Although there was no information about level eight and level nine soul tools, Qi Han was already quite satisfied.

How could the Imperial Tutor possibly give me such top-tier soul tool technology just because of a meal?

This is already a pleasant surprise.

Curious about the soul tool, Qi Han opened it and began to examine it.

The soul tool can be divided into three parts: the core magic array, the conduction structure, and the soul tool shell.

The core array allows soul power to flow along the fine structure inside the array, thereby transforming the soul power and causing it to undergo special changes. It can be divided into the front core array, the processing core array, and the back core array. The three core arrays are respectively responsible for absorbing and gathering soul power, changing and adjusting the nature of soul power, and presenting the functions of different soul guides.

The conduction architecture is a special structure used to conduct soul power between core arrays and link different core arrays. For the same soul tool, the conduction architecture is not fixed and does not affect the function of the soul tool. However, a good architecture can greatly improve the efficiency of soul power transmission from one array to the next, thereby improving the overall quality of the soul tool.

The core array and the transmission structure together form the functional core of the entire soul tool, which is called the combined core array, while the basic, single-function core array is called the basic core array.

The final outer shell structure of the soul tool is a crucial structure that protects the internal core array, preventing it from being affected by the aftershocks during battle. It maintains the structural stability of the entire soul tool and provides a certain degree of protection.

The book that De Hongchen gave to Qi Han detailed the structural details and common design ideas of these three parts, and even provided some internal structural diagrams of common soul tools as references and examples. It can be said that as long as you are not mentally challenged and have sufficient soul power, anyone can become a level seven soul master through it.

After quickly flipping through it, Qi Han couldn't help but sigh softly.

This gift from De Hongchen was far too much for him.

and…

Qi Han also gained a completely new understanding of soul tools, a special type of weapon.

It's so similar to the circuitry from my previous life.

Although Qi Han wasn't a circuit major in his previous life, he was still a science and engineering guy. Even though he failed his studies and became a food vlogger, he still hasn't forgotten some basic knowledge.

If we consider the various functional components in the circuit as the basic core array, the connection method of the wires as the conduction structure, and finally add an outer shell, isn't this a soul tool?

As for the difference between low-level and high-level soul tools, it's probably like the difference between ordinary circuits and integrated circuits.

The electrical energy in the circuit is transformed into soul power in the soul tool.

Unfortunately, Qi Han only had a general understanding of the relevant knowledge, not the underlying principles. Otherwise, he could have made connections and his research on soul tools would have reached an extremely advanced level.

Qi Han carefully put the book into his storage soul tool, planning to study it in detail at a later time.

Now, something even more important awaits him.

Main Quest Nine: A Visit to the Sun and Moon (Completed)

Mission Rewards: Soul Power Level +2 (Claimable), 1 Four-Star Random Recipe (Claimable), 2 Three-Star Random Recipes (Claimable).

The reward for main quest nine is finally here!

Seeing the generous mission rewards, Qi Han became excited in an instant.

Which one should I choose first?

Of course, it's a four-star random recipe!

Although Qi Han has not yet finished cooking the "Zilong Removes His Armor" dish, and there is still a "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" dish waiting for him, this has not diminished his desire for the four-star recipe.
