Chapter 98 The God of Cookery's First Test Completed
Tang Chuan looked at the detailed effects of golden thread dodder in the "Ingredients Compendium" in his mind, especially the two effects of promoting Spirit evolution and prolonging life, and he was even more surprised.
"It seems that what was shown in the original work was only the tip of the iceberg..."
He pondered to himself that the appearance of this golden dodder was completely beyond his understanding of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in the original work.
The original novel records that when Dugu Bo was away, Tang San used up all the other herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to concoct a poison-type hidden weapon called the Yama's Decree.
That's a lot of boasting.
If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn!
In the original work, Tang San, with the strength of a Spirit Master, killed Soul Saint Shi Nian and obtained a soul bone of the Illusion Realm type, which he then gave to Ning Rongrong.
"Really!"
"One cannot completely trust the original text."
"Moreover, the efficacy of the divine herbs listed in the ingredient guide is far more comprehensive than that recorded in the original work, so we cannot rely entirely on the understanding in the original work."
He composed himself, smiled at Tang San, and indicated that he was alright.
"Brother, is this a magical herb?"
Seeing his brother's delighted expression, Tang San couldn't help but ask a question.
When he used the Jade Hand to pluck the golden vine, he only tested it to make sure it wasn't poisonous before giving it to Tang Chuan. He didn't know its specific name or effects.
"Yes, it's a magical herb!"
Tang Chuan smiled and briefly explained the information from the encyclopedia: "It's called Golden Immortal Dodder. It can nourish muscles and bones, promote the evolution of Spirits, and even beautify the skin and preserve youth..."
"Promote the evolution of Spirit?"
Tang San was somewhat surprised and speechless, not expecting that a celestial herb would have such an effect.
"That makes sense!"
"The Xuan Tian Bao Lu was recorded by the Tang Clan ancestors in the previous life. It did not contain any information about Spirits, so of course they would not know about this immortal herb, Golden Thread Dodder, and its effect on promoting the evolution of Spirits."
Tang San silently pondered whether there was any way to allow a person to consume multiple celestial herbs simultaneously without any adverse drug reactions.
The immortal herbs that promote the evolution of Spirits should definitely be given to my older brother first!
Tang Chuan continued on his way.
Tang San followed closely and soon saw several black bamboos on one side of the road. The bamboo joints were like carved black jade, with a jade-like luster.
The bamboo leaves are long and narrow, and they also exude a faint chill.
Tang San recognized this; it was called the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, a mid-to-high grade among immortal herbs, which greatly enhanced the physique of Spirit Masters.
Tang Chuan had the Blue Silver Bind entwine around the bamboo stem, then took the entire plant and devoured it.
Encyclopedia Update:
[Ink Jade Divine Bamboo]
[Origin: The Eye of Ice and Fire]
[Timeframe: 94,000 years]
[Characteristics: As hard as black jade, naturally formed with spiritual patterns, and extremely tough]
[Effects: Strengthens bones and muscles, enhances the body's resistance to impact... The Black Jade Divine Liquid inside the bamboo joint, combined with Blood Spirit Mushroom and Ligusticum... can be used in medicinal cuisine...]
Tang Chuan casually swept the area, and although the effect was slightly inferior to the previous Narcissus Jade Skin and Golden Thread Dodder, it was not much worse.
Moreover, when prepared as a medicinal dish, it can enhance the resilience of plant-based Spirits, making it extremely suitable for mistresses.
Tang Chuan silently memorized it and continued walking forward.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
A golden sweet potato, with dark red stripes on its skin, bulged in the dark red soil on the ground. It was the Earth Dragon Golden Sweet Potato.
Tang Chuan dug out the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and this time Tang San did not rush to dig it out first.
Because this Earth Dragon Golden Melon is recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, Tang San can recognize it as the kind that strengthens the foundation and nourishes the vital energy, with a gentle nature.
As expected, the Blue Silver Bind devoured it.
The "Illustrated Compendium of Ingredients" describes the Earth Dragon Golden Pumpkin as having rich earth vein dragon energy and earth attribute essence, which can strengthen the foundation, nourish the vital energy, and replenish the loss of life essence.
Furthermore, it has the special effect of promoting the evolution of dragon-type Spirits.
"Um?!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Chuan was stunned.
If the Earth Dragon Golden Melon has this effect, why didn't Tang San give it to Yu Xiaogang in the original novel?
All of the Seven Freaks possessed immortal herbs, so how come Yu Xiaogang obtained a ninth-grade purple fungus that was not an immortal herb but was even better than one?
It's not a miraculous herb, but it's better than a miraculous herb, although that's what they say.
However, the effects of Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma are fundamentally different in quality compared to other celestial herbs.
Moreover, its effectiveness was not as good. It could only help Yu Xiaogang break through the level 30 bottleneck, but it did not allow his Spirit to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon. He remained in the original form of Luo Sanpao.
Is it a perverse sense of humor from the original work?
Or was the relationship between Tang Shenwang and Yu Xiaogang already hinted at when they were distributing the immortal herbs?
Tang Chuan harbored malicious suspicions in his heart.
After all, the Endless Fire Domain has Yao Lao, but the God Realm doesn't have Yu Xiaogang.
You can't exactly say that the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a patch added to Douyu 3, can you?
As Tang Chuan pondered this, he led his mistress forward. Ahead lay the eight-petaled fairy orchid that Oscar had eaten in the original novel.
Its eight petals are like jade, its flavor is mellow and long-lasting, and its medicinal properties are pure and harmonious.
It can increase the cultivation speed of Spirit Masters, and is especially suitable for support-type Spirit Masters.
Near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there is the Phoenix Sunflower that Ma Hongjun ate. Its petals are layered like a rooster's comb and gleam with a fiery glow.
Besides these familiar faces, Tang Chuan also discovered many more rare medicinal herbs that were not mentioned in the original work.
For example, the effects of golden thread dodder are in no way inferior to the immortal herbs consumed by the Shrek Seven Devils in the original work, and some are even slightly stronger.

Each time an ingredient is consumed, the progress bar in the "Ingredient Encyclopedia" increases by one point, quickly going from 97% to 100%.
At the same time.
Golden light exploded from the sea of spirit, and the phantom of the God of Food reappeared.
It was still the same image of a person with a jade belt around their waist and a jade spoon in their hand, but this time the phantom was clearer, and the jade spoon was still covered with specks of gold, as if some delicacy remained.
His first words carried a hint of satisfaction at the student's potential.
"Good job, little guy!"
"Tsk tsk!"
The God of Food's excited tone carried a hint of teasing: "I thought it would take you a year or two, but I didn't expect you to reach the threshold of the Essence of Taste so quickly. It was worth the divine soul ring I gave you."
"Congratulations!"
"The conditions for the first of the Nine Tests of the God of Cookery have been met perfectly: I have tasted hundreds of herbs, eaten hundreds of flavors, and identified all kinds of ingredients. I have passed the test flawlessly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light fell from the phantom's hand and merged into Tang Chuan's spiritual sea.
Tang Chuan felt his mind clear and his soul power subtly increasing.
More importantly, a more acute perception of the world's flavors emerged in his heart, and he gained a deeper understanding of the taste of food.
"Senior, have you really finished the first test?"
"But there are still many ingredients that haven't been included in the 'Ingredients Compendium.' There are so many ingredients in the world, and I've only included a small portion. Why is the first test considered complete?"
Hahahaha!
"You're too serious, kid!"
The God of Cookery laughed heartily, shook the jade spoon in his hand, and the golden light from the rim of the spoon shone on the "Illustrated Compendium of Ingredients," making the scrolls even brighter.
