My Cooking Skill had reached Level 8, greatly enhancing my ability to prepare dishes from memory. If I wished, the Skill could even guide my hands to move automatically.
But that felt too impersonal. I preferred handling most steps myself, letting the Skill refine my movements and help recall precise techniques.
Cooking Magic was crucial as well. It unlocked the full quality and essence of every ingredient, producing Golden Dishes that radiated bright, golden auras.
This food was the only kind that could truly satisfy the hunger of cultivators with Physiques beyond Tier 5.
Ordinary meals filled the stomach, but they couldn't replenish the Mana and Ki we expended daily. Without a nutrient-rich diet at higher tiers, power would gradually decline.
