Chapter 698 Limited time mission
Chapter 698 Limited time mission
"Delicious, absolutely delicious!"
Wei Ming chewed and swallowed the tripe and throat in his mouth.
Is it really that delicious? Wei Ming's hearty eating was seen by the farmer cultivator who came to the Xiaoyao Sect.
They were somewhat skeptical, but all were drawn in by the aroma.
Ye Yinqiu walked by holding the Xiaoyao Sect's payment QR code, ignoring whether the cultivators had started eating hotpot or not, and repeatedly held up his personal terminal to the crowd:
"One million star coins, just transfer it to this account."
Ye Yinqiu called out to the villagers, and soon the farmers from outside paid their fees.
We're already here, and we've already paid, so what can we do now? We'll just have to eat.
The group sat around a table. Zhong Liyu didn't bother to retrieve it; instead, she took a pot of pills directly from Jiang He.
"The ingredients are all on the table. I'll go make you some dipping sauce. Oh, and if you want to eat tripe, remember to blanch it eight times, like seven dips and eight swirls."
Zhong Liyu, the second biggest foodie in the Xiaoyao Sect, carefully prepared a special dipping sauce for everyone.
Half a spoonful of minced garlic, one spoonful of soy sauce, and one spoonful of beef sauce.
A little sesame seeds, two tablespoons of sesame paste, half a tablespoon of sesame oil, a little sugar and cilantro, one tablespoon of chopped green onions, and one tablespoon of beef/chicken cubes.
Just eat it, it'll taste good no matter what you dip it in.
It tastes good even when dipped in shoe soles.
Of course, Zhong Liyu has other recipes, such as a dry dipping sauce: chili sauce + a little salt + pepper + sesame seeds and crushed peanuts.
Noodle dipping sauce: sesame paste + half a spoonful of minced garlic + crushed peanuts + sesame seeds + half a spoonful of dry chili + chopped chili + soy sauce + cilantro.
Spicy dipping sauce: bird's eye chili + cilantro and scallions + beef sauce + chili powder + black pepper + sesame oil.
There's also a versatile dipping sauce: beef cubes + millet pepper beef sauce + chopped green onions/cilantro minced garlic + oyster sauce + sesame oil...
……
Wei Ming had never tried any other dipping sauces, but he felt that this one was more and more addictive the more he ate it, coating the food in the sauce before putting it in his mouth.
Jiang He added two different broth flavors this time: tomato and spicy.
Wei Ming ate what happened to be fished out of the tomato broth.
It can be eaten directly without any dipping sauce, and has a refreshing and tangy flavor with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
This tomato hot pot base underwent multiple stir-frying processes, perfectly integrating tomatoes into the hot pot. Wei Ming tasted a bite of tomato noodles.
The noodles were chewy, and it was a food he had never eaten before.
The tomatoes had a smooth texture, and the soup was rich and delicate. After taking a sip of the soup, Wei Ming ate the noodles and found the flavor to be incredibly complex.
He buried his head in his food and cried. The other farmers present were similar to Wei Ming. At this moment, no one mentioned the spirit field. They were all scrambling to scoop food out of the pot.
Looking at the flavorful cabbage in the bowl, Wei Ming suddenly thought of something.
This pot contains mostly spiritual plants, as well as some meat.
It's rumored that the cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect love to eat demon meat; could there be some in this pot too?
Wei Ming was thinking, but his mouth never stopped.
There was no way around it; it was too delicious. If he didn't eat quickly, another cultivator might take his bowl away.
"Monster meat? Yes, yes, the tripe is monster meat, as is the beef from the Giant Horned Bull. But it's okay, the ingredients are all prepared. Once you cook it, the toxins will be neutralized. This soup is a treasure."
Zhong Liyu spoke in a very mysterious way, and it took a while for everyone to recover from the conversation.
Monster meat is terrifying, but the key is that they can't resist the temptation.
The meat didn't smell very appetizing, but it smelled amazing after being cooked in the hot pot.
It was springtime, and the cold weather made for a nice hot pot meal. The perfect temperature, combined with the aroma of tomatoes and the warm broth, made Wei Ming feel that the temperature on the mountain was not low at all, and the fatigue from the walk disappeared.
"Wei Ming, to be honest, my whole body feels a bit hot right now, and my abdomen is warm too."
"Is it possible that we are eating spiritual food now, and that the effects are already showing?" Wei Ming said calmly, his spiritual energy constantly gathering within him. If he weren't in the Free and Unfettered Sect, he would have sat down on the ground and started cultivating right now.
He stared intently at the food in the pot, his preconceived notions overturned, and Wei Ming didn't know what to say.
I initially thought the million star coins were to cover the tour fee, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
"Phew, I can feel it too, it really does seem to be spiritual food!"
"Huh? No way, we're going to get to eat this good stuff?"
Several cultivators, filled with doubt, hadn't watched much of the competition and had been waiting at the Xiaoyao Sect. They knew Jiang He could refine pills, but they didn't know she could make spiritual food, especially such high-grade spiritual food.
It didn't taste like anything at all. If Wei Ming hadn't brought it up, they probably wouldn't have guessed that this pot of food was spiritual food.
Moreover, the spiritual energy within their bodies increased rapidly. Some of the farmers almost directly advanced their cultivation levels thanks to this surge of spiritual energy, which was remarkably swift.
Wei Ming ate while feeling guilty.
He really got a great deal this time; he recouped his million star coins after just one bite.
Such fresh spiritual food, especially since it's custom-made and permanently enhances one's cultivation level, is incredibly worthwhile.
Throwing a million star coins into the black market or crystal core trading is basically a waste, but using them to eat spiritual food is a different story.
Wei Ming ate quite a lot.
I felt guilty while eating.
He's really a terrible person, actually questioning the intentions of the Free and Unfettered Sect like that.
What wrong did the Xiaoyao Sect do? They just wanted to feed him.
After the meal, Wei Ming's belly had grown noticeably larger, bulging out so much that from a distance, anyone who didn't know better would think he had gotten pregnant through some kind of special method.
But...
There are quite a few cultivators with similar builds to Wei Ming.
Pei Ci sat opposite Jiang He, eating slowly, his silver hair swaying slightly.
Jiang He squinted.
Yes, it's pleasing to the eye.
After finishing the hotpot, Jiang He quickly issued a task to clean up the mess.
However, Jiang He did not block some cultivators this time, nor did she post it in a specific task section.
This resulted in not only the cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect who had finished eating hotpot seeing the mission, but also cultivators from other sects scattered across the country thousands of miles away.
[Limited-time task: Clean up the hot pot residue and restore the cafeteria to its original state]
Number of applicants: 1/20
Points earned for completing the task: 1
For any cultivator who has downloaded the "Xiaoyao Sect is the Best in the World" app and hasn't uninstalled it, the task will automatically pop up on their personal computer.
The quickest cultivators have already clicked to register.
Although they were completely out of the loop and had no idea how to complete the task or what the points were for.
But they couldn't resist their subconscious reactions.
When I came to my senses, the registration was already full.
The Xiaoyao Sect app was designed by Jiang He, and so far, she is the only one with the authority to post tasks.
Just as Jiang He was about to quit, the number of cultivators accepting missions filled up, but she accidentally clicked on the backend of her personal terminal.
Jiang He opened her eyes, and a glimpse of the data made her immediately withdraw the task.
I almost forgot, the app's users aren't just from their Xiaoyao Sect; there are other sects as well.
Jiang He wiped away non-existent sweat, withdrew the original mission, and urgently issued a new one. The mission was still visible to everyone, but the scope of cultivators who could accept the mission was limited to the Xiaoyao Sect.
Li Songcheng turned on his personal terminal with a bewildered look, and then turned it off with the same bewildered look.
I downloaded the app from the app store, but I've been busy and haven't deleted it.
Li Songcheng had no idea what the task points were for, but that didn't stop him from wanting to figure out the app.
For example, these limited-time tasks look really weird.
What are hot pot leftovers, and where is the cafeteria?
