Chapter 614 - 10 Flavor Stew
Exodus Tales
Exodus Tales
After entering the Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei had already obtained a lot of treasures.
However, the only Immortal Quality treasure that he had was the White Mist Draconic Spear
This Dragon Scale Wok was the second.
However, none of the effects written in the status panel made it seem like an Immortal Quality object other than Dragon Scale Defense.
It did not even have any effect to increase the effect of [Cooking] skill.
However, he had his own thoughts on this.
The Wok was something made for cooking and not a weapon. Being able to increase the temperature by itself was already not bad.
It could also be seen from it that Immortal Quality treasures were not something a normal person could use.
Just the owner recognition effect would kill a normal person when they offer their blood.
For Wei Xiao Bei, the owner recognition effect was without a doubt a good ability. After an owner had been registered, the object would have an invisible rope that would prevent him from losing the item.
Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei was not in a rush to use it. He placed his right wrist on the other edge of the Wok and pulled!
The sharp sound of a knife scratching a glass echoed.
Wei Xiao Bei was truly amazed at how extraordinary the Wok was. Just the sharpness of the edge alone was enough to cut his wrist.
With his current body, even an incredibly sharp knife would have a hard time cutting it. At most it would leave a white mark.
Next, a beast head appeared on the edge and bit on Wei Xiao Bei’s wrist. Wei Xiao Bei’s recovery ability appeared to have no effect on the wound at all.
The fresh blood flowed like a broken faucet, but it was instantly sucked in by the Wok as if it had absorbed into the sand.
However, the Dragon Scale Wok was originally red. There appeared to be no changes when it absorbed the blood.
Wei Xiao Bei only felt the blood inside his body quickly drain.
In less than half a minute, he began to feel dizzy.
However, his powerful recovery ability had also begun to work.
His bones suddenly became unbearably itchy.
The blood manufacturing organ of the body is the bone marrow, and an adult’s bone marrow is mostly yellow and only a few red parts that produce blood.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was an exception. Normally, the small portion of the red bone marrow was used to replenish dead red blood cells and platelets.
However, following the loss of large amounts of blood, Wei Xiao Bei’s yellow bone marrow began to become red bone marrow to produce large amounts of blood.
At this time, the nutrition in his body had largely been consumed. Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to take out food and water from his storage bracelet and begin eating.
Luckily, the blood absorption from the wok gradually dissipated.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei could feel connected to the Wok. This kind of link was similar to his link with the White Mist Draconic Spear, but this one had a more spiritual nature.
The wound on his wrist began closing as he recovered.
After filling his stomach, Wei Xiao Bei’s attention focused on the Wok. The Wok immediately expanded. In less than 10 seconds, it grew from palm-sized to 10 meters.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei used his hands to lift the Wok up. Luckily, the weight remained the same even if it had grown. It was still around 2 tons.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei impatiently placed the Wok between two Fiery Dragon Rocks.
The Fiery Dragon Rocks would constantly let out heat to the point that it could boil water. However, after properly positioning the Wok, he touched the bottom and felt that it was very cool. The heat from the rock was simply unable to penetrate the Wok.
This Immortal Quality Wok was truly different from a normal Wok. Wei Xiao Bei did not have to cure the pot with oil and only used water to clean it. After that, he began to increase the heat of the Wok with just a thought, causing the remaining water inside to evaporate.
However, now that he had a Wok, he did not have a Wok spatula.
Because of this, he had to take out the Dragon Fire Cauldron and hurriedly refined a long spatula.
His requirements for it were not high so it did not take long to refine it.
In short, he had created a stone spatula.
The materials were the grains of sand on the ground. Wei Xiao Bei made the spatula in four parts. One was the spatula head that was roughly 1 meter wide. The remaining three parts were stone rods used to extend the spatula which was around 2.8 meters long.
This was something that could not be helped. Even after the Dragon Fire Wok was expanded to its biggest, it could only fit in three meters long. If he did not refine it separately, he simply could not do anything.
Just as previously said, the requirements for the spatula were not high. Wei Xiao Bei was able to easily refine it. He did not even need to place a rune on it. After melting the sand, he used Dragon Fire to circle around it two times to form the shape.
It was that simple of a refinement. The spatula did not have any strange parts. At most, it was much harder than normal stone tools. It was even harder than some iron tools.
This was already enough.
Then, he began cooking. He placed fat from the Flame Giant into the Dragon Scale Wok.
After increasing the temperature, the fat began to boil.
He removed the scum and placed ginger sheets, hot pepper, and Giant Python meat. After stir-frying for five minutes, he added in cold water.
Before the water boiled, Wei Xiao Bei had taken the chance to refine a Wok lid.
The Wok lid was also separated into four parts.
After refining the lid, he immediately covered the Wok before the water completely boiled. Then, he adjusted the temperature to a slow boil.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei relaxed.
This was the first time Wei Xiao Bei was using the Wok, so he was more attentive.
If he did not control the temperature properly, the entire dish would be scrapped.
Luckily, the Dragon Scale Wok felt a lot easier to use compared to a normal wok.
The only problem was that it was too big. While stir-frying, Wei Xiao Bei had to stand on the edge of the Wok.
It could be said that using it to cook took a lot of effort.
Just the Giant Python meat alone increased the Wok’s weight to 7-8 tons. If Wei Xiao Bei was not strong enough, let alone standing on the edge of the Wok, he might not even be able to move the spatula.
Without 30 tons of strength, moving the spatula would be a joke.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was also quite tired after covering the lid.
The dish was called Snake Meat with Ginger Sheets Soup.
If it was a wok from the Real World, it would not take long to stir-fry the snake meat. After all, snake meat was tender. Stir-frying for too long would cause it to lose tenderness.
However, the Giant Python meat inside the Wok was big. As such, it would take more time to stir-fry the snake meat. Moreover, he had to quickly do it.
In simpler terms, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if he had gone through a life or death battle in just five minutes.
However, this was not strange at all as he had used up a lot of energy.
Hearing the bubbling sound from the Wok, Wei Xiao Bei calculated the time.
In less than half an hour, Wei Xiao Bei opened the lid and threw in the Fiendish Man Fish that he had prepared inside.
These Fiendish Man Fish were already cleaned by him and stored into the storage bracelet.
He covered the wok back up and let it continue boiling.
After ten minutes, he threw in Sacred Beetle meat.
At this time, what he prepared to make was not a simple Snake Meat with Ginger Sheet Soup, but 10 Flavor Stew.
The Giant Python meat, Fiendish Man Fish, Scared Beetle meat, ginger sheets, and hot peppers constituted five flavors. After 15 minutes, he threw in tentacles of the Thousand Eyed Devil, making it six.
Afterward, he placed in Fire Crow Eggs, five Scarlet Pheasant Eggs, and one Fei Yi egg as the seventh, eighth, and ninth flavors.
Every time he added an ingredient, the fragrance from the Wok increased a layer.
For the final flavor, he placed in 100 milliliters of Excellent Sacred Tree Sap!
Following the sap, the fragrance coming out of the Wok returned back inside.
Wei Xiao Bei became happy as this was an omen of an Immortal Quality dish!
He had created a huge Wok of an Immortal Quality dish.
He simply could not imagine how many portions he was making.
It might be 1,000 or even 10,000 portions.
He felt as if he had won the lottery.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei saw the Wok let out cyan-colored steam.
The cyan-colored steam did not continue rising after it came out of the Wok and moved about above it. From time to time, it would take the form of the various ingredients used. At most, it became Dragon shaped.
Put simply, the cyan-colored steam made Wei Xiao Bei feel that it was alive.
At this time, the dusky sky suddenly became darker. A black cloud from who knows where had condensed above the Wok.
At this instant, Wei Xiao Bei felt a heavy pressure. He did not dare slightly budge as if a great danger would come if he moved!
This was the first thought that came to his mind when he saw the black cloud.
However, he immediately eliminated this possibility and thought that the issue was the cyan-colored steam.
The feeling it gave was the same as what he felt after he had activated [Indomitable Will].
Although the black clouds gave Wei Xiao Bei a great sense of danger, the true danger actually came from the cyan-colored steam!
