Due to the unique texture of the bear paw, one needed many ingredients to complete the dish. The complexity of the dish was equivalent to a full-course meal!
Li Nianfan brought out all the leftover Spiritual Herbs and vegetables he had. Instantly, a faint fragrance filled the air, making one feel refreshed.
After making a few beautiful gestures with the knife, the vegetables and Spiritual Herbs were chopped into pieces and ready to be used as condiments. Other than the Spiritual Herbs, Li Nianfan also planned to use the carp to enhance its flavor.
He had knives in both hands as he worked on the fish in one swift gesture. Instantly, all its scales came off, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly. He opened its mouth, broke its belly, cleaned the fish, and followed a series of skillful procedures.
Gu Ziyu’s lips twitched. He quickly turned away, unable to watch.
‘How cruel! How can humans be so cruel!
‘Waa...my fish and bird...you all died a horrible death!
‘I’m going to be a vegetarian from now onward!’
After finishing the procedure, Li Nianfan went back to the bear paw in the casserole pot. The flame started by the cultivators was quite strong. The water inside the pot had already started to heat up and boil. The bear paw started to vibrate in the pot, followed by a gust of fishy smell.
Li Nianfan’s eyes narrowed. He instantly scooped out the bear paw and put it aside. He was about to pour the water out of the pot.
“Mr. Li,” Gu Ziyao had been waiting for this. Somehow, she had a big red bucket with her. She said with a blushing face, “Just pour the water into this bucket.”
“How did I forget this? Of course!” Li Nianfan was reminded that he was a guest at someone else’s house. How could he simply pour the water away? This young lady was so environmentally conscious.
Watching Li Nianfan pouring the water into the bucket, Gu Ziyao’s eyes sparkled as if she was just given a treasure.
This was Spiritual Water! She would feed the animals and demons with this!
Swiftly after, Li Nianfan poured more Spiritual Water into the pot. After repeating this three times, the fishy smell was gone and the air was left with the fragrance of Spiritual Water mixed with the fragrance of the bear paw. The smell was unique and mysterious.
Li Nianfan scooped out the bear paw from the water. He gently rubbed the surface of the paw and instantly, all the black fur fell off, exposing the bare skin of the paw. Li Nianfan tapped his finger on the knife, playing with it in his hand. He pressed on the bear paw and sliced directly from above. With an accurate slice, the calluses on the bear paw were removed. He then scored the flesh to help loosen the meat.
The knife flew like a butterfly in Li Nianfan’s hand. All his audience could see were flashes of light, followed by chunks of bones being removed from the bear paw.
Qin Manyun and the rest exchanged looks with one another in awe.
Gulp!
They gulped in unison.
Even though Li Nianfan did not use any Spiritual Qi, they could vividly feel his Insights Circulation when he swung the knife. Along with his movements, the Insights rippled out like waves. It was pleasant to watch!
What did this imply?
This implied that he did not need any Spiritual Qi. A simple move from him would be able to cut through anything.
Although this sounded somewhat exaggerated, they knew deep down that they would not even get a chance to struggle under his knife. So, this was how powerful an expert was! Even the movement of preparing a dish was able to destroy the world!
No wonder he wanted to live as an ordinary man. If he did not do so, a punch from him would explode the world!
Terrifying! So terrifying!
They shrunk in unison, feeling their scalps itch. They were unable to have another thought!
While they were terrified, they also felt extremely excited.
This would be the best meal in this realm! Even a bite of it would be admired by the Immortals!
They must have cultivated the blessings of eight lifetimes to earn this from the expert. How blissful!
Finally, they heard a loud ‘bam!’. Li Nianfan smacked the bear paw with the side of his knife.
It was ready!
Li Nianfan smiled and once again, put the bear paw into the casserole pot. Then, he poured in more Spiritual Water.
The water covered two-thirds of the bear paw. This time, he left it in the pot to steam!
All of the ingredients had been prepared. He poured them all into the pot, placing the fish on top of the paw as if it was holding onto the fish. With that, he left them to cook over the big flame. From time to time, Li Nianfan would add in some condiments.
After all the condiments were added, a faint fragrance exuded from the pot. His audience sniffed, and before they could even get enough of it, Li Nianfan covered the pot with a lid.
The fragrance was instantly cut off. His audience had looks of regret on their faces.
Li Nianfan said, “Now, we just have to wait. Since the bear paw is thick, it’ll take some time if we want it to be thoroughly cooked.”
They all nodded like diligent students.
Li Nianfan thought of the compressor. He was excited to try it. He said, “Since we’re waiting, I’ll make you all Fanta.”
Fanta?
A drink that would make one feel fantastic?
Their eyes sparkled with excitement.
Actually, with the help of a compressor, it would be easy to make Fanta. Li Nianfan poured some Spiritual Water into a glass. He then took out some oranges, juiced them, and mixed it with Spiritual Water. Once the orange juice blended perfectly with the Spiritual Water, he took out the compressor. He wanted to put it into the glass.
Since it was his first time using the compressor, he was unsure of the correct way to use it.
Gu Ziyao opened her mouth as she could not help saying, “Uhm... Mr. Li, this comm—compressor might take some time.”
Li Nianfan paused. “Take some time? Will it take long?”
‘If it doesn’t take long, I wouldn’t have told you,’ she thought.
The Divine Bead took at least half a year to turn a glass of water into Divine Water. The more water there was, the longer it took.
Gu Ziyao was just thinking of a way to say this to Li Nianfan. However, she noticed some sizzling inside the glass. Surprisingly, the Divine Bead was floating in the glass and slowly rotating. Soon, gas started merging with the water. Then, some bubbles started to appear and pop in the glass.
Gu Ziyao parted her lips slightly, as if it was the first time she saw the Divine Bead.
“It doesn’t take that long. It has already started.” Li Nianfan laughed as he looked at the working compressor curiously. His eyes sparkled and asked, “Is this a voice-controlled device?”
Without waiting for Gu Ziyao to respond, he said impatiently, “Speed up!”
Sizz...
The compressor started to spin faster, causing more bubbles to appear in the glass. It merely took a moment before a glass of Fanta was made!
“This...this...this...” Gu Ziyao stuttered.
‘I don’t recall the Divine Bead working this way... Perhaps... I remembered wrongly?’ she thought.
Li Nianfan nodded in satisfaction. He smiled and said, “It’s voice-controlled! Good stuff!”
Gu Ziyao forced a natural-looking smile. “It’s indeed...voice-controlled! You found out! Nice!”
