Chapter 428 - Dark Crows Ultimate Attribute (Part 1)
The basic recipe for blood tofu consisted of heating animal blood with some salt until it congealed. Before becoming a beastmaster, it was one of Lu Ran’s favorite foods, one that he paired with hot sauce and rice.
Even after he became a beastmaster, blood curd remained one of his most cooked dishes, mainly due to how much animal blood he had on his hands. Although he was very proficient with the dish itself, it was his first time making an Epic variation.
To get some practice in, he started with some blood from Fire-attribute creatures instead of starting with what he set aside for Dark Crow. He was going to give himself the first taste. None of his familiars needed Fire-attribute resources, but those resources could be used to further nourish his Flame Spirit. Like they say on airplanes, help yourself first before you help others.
"I’m only level 5, but I’m about to feast on something made from such precious materials. Maybe I shouldn’t keep it all to myself. I should record a video of me eating to show my friends," Lu Ran said to himself.
After three days of intense practice, Lu Ran barely felt that any time had passed at all. His Flame Spirit gave him a pleasant surprise. Not only could it make the ingredients fresh again, but it also made cooking a lot easier overall. Lu Ran followed one of Emperor Yan’s recipes with a few personal touches. He only made some minor mistakes with the Fire-attribute dishes during his practice runs. By the time he moved on to the Spirit-attribute blood, he was turning them out flawlessly.
While he was busy practicing, Dark Crow was just as busy stuffing its face. It didn’t leave behind a single crumb. With some help from Time Acceleration to digest all the food, it only took a brief period of time for it to reach level 60. Lu Ran naturally had his fair share, but he didn’t feel like he benefited as much as the bird.
Well, he was just using the Fire-attribute blood to practice anyway, so he didn’t have high hopes to begin with. Now that Dark Crow reached level 60, he achieved his main objective.
His only concern was that if the Divine Phoenix was still alive that it would probably hunt him down when it discovered that he used its fire to make blood tofu. It's not that he didn’t want the fire to relieve the plight of his common man, but once again, he had to take care of himself first.
Hahaha!
“This feeling is wonderful!”
Dark Crow glowed red as it continued to eat. The glow was a side effect of eating so much spicy food.
"It looks like it’s working. Cooking Epic dishes isn’t as hard as I thought, so forging equipment should be a piece of cake too."
