Chapter 0005: Promotion to the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement

After Yan Zhen obtained the scroll of celestial cuisine, she glanced at the ground beside her, where there was a trace of a full moon; this should be the teleportation array for exiting.

Gazing into the past, one could see on that luminous screen an old man dressed in yellow, with a waxen complexion and a face marked by sinister lines

Moreover, Qin An had to overcome two more challenges, which also provided Yan Zhen with ample time to enhance his strength

Among the other nine treasures, there are also several that are quite captivating

When the mushrooms are almost burnt to the point of releasing oil, immediately add salt on top. After a moment, begin to add cumin, which is indeed a barbecue essential that can stimulate the appetite, enhance the deliciousness of the food, and eliminate any fishy taste

In the path of cultivating immortality in this world, the first major realm is the Qi Refining Stage, which is further divided into nine levels. These nine levels are the Chongmai Realm, the Daimai Realm, the Yin Qiao Mai Realm, the Yang Qiao Mai Realm, the Yin Wei Mai Realm, the Yang Wei Mai Realm, the Ren Mai Realm, the Du Mai Realm, and the Extraordinary Meridians Realm

Family members are aware of their own matters, and while my culinary skills are decent, they are only decent at best

Yan Zhen was still savoring the grilled mushrooms he had just eaten, feeling a surge of magical energy erupting in his stomach. This magical energy was exceptionally pure, causing the magical energy in the lower dantian, located three inches below his navel, to accumulate thicker and thicker.

Yan Zhen himself was also taken aback, stroking his smooth, beardless chin

The food scroll was originally empty, but after placing in this pound of gray mushrooms, shapes of gray mushrooms immediately appeared on its surface. At the same time, layers of celestial spiritual energy were drawn into it, seemingly transforming the gray mushrooms.

Yan Zhen had long known about the information regarding the culinary scroll of the immortal realm in her previous life, and this time she came here to seize the treasure specifically for this culinary scroll. Therefore, she had already brought along the gray mushrooms, which are vegetarian ingredients, with her.

It is so delicious

With another bite, this bite unleashed an incredibly delicious flavor that exploded on the tip of my tongue

He took out the gray mushroom from his sleeve and placed it into the gourmet food roll

One's own cultivation level is at the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement period, specifically in the Yang Qiao Meridian realm. At this moment, having absorbed the celestial energy from the roasted mushrooms, the magical power erupted within the meridians. This surge of magical power was remarkably vigorous, not only completely opening the fourth meridian, the Yang Qiao Meridian, which was originally only halfway through its activation, but also allowing the magical power to flow into the fifth meridian, the Yin Wei Meridian. This indicates that one's magical power has reached the fifth stage of the Qi Refinement period, resulting in a significant increase in magical power. Not only did it completely open the fourth meridian, the Yang Qiao Meridian, which was originally only halfway through its activation, but it also allowed the magical power to flow into the fifth meridian, the Yin Wei Meridian, indicating that one's magical power has reached the fifth stage of the Qi Refinement period, resulting in a significant increase in magical power.

However, there are still opportunities, after all, the scroll of delicacies from the fairy realm is now in hand, and I can use this item to enhance myself and then slay Qin An.

But what of it? This treasure is already in my possession, and I have successfully defied the will of heaven.

It seems that it should be attributed to the celestial gray mushroom

Feeling a sense of strangeness in her heart, Yan Zhen was also aware that in her previous life, Qin An had obtained the scroll of celestial delicacies from the immortal realm. To prevent the trajectory of her past life from mirroring that of her present life, Yan Zhen had long since forged a letter, which was passed through several hands to reach Qin An, disguised as a challenge from one of Qin An's rivals who wished to duel with him

How to eat celestial gray mushrooms? As someone who enjoys gourmet food, I naturally know various ways to prepare them

Yan Zhen silently thought to herself

Next, we will roast this celestial gray mushroom to eat

These gray mushrooms have grown slightly larger and become increasingly tender, possessing a translucent quality akin to that of crystal

The first level of the Qi Refinement stage corresponds to one meridian, continuing up to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage which corresponds to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage, known as the Extraordinary Meridian Realm, integrates the eight meridians into a small circulation

In the lower right corner of the food scroll, there appeared a line of text: "The food scroll has been used once in a month, transforming the earthly gray mushroom into the heavenly gray mushroom, with the energy within changing from the earthly measurement standard of 0.45 yuan to the heavenly measurement standard of 0.45 wasteland."

It is truly delicious! Eating this roasted gray mushroom bite by bite is simply wonderful, as each mouthful is incredibly delightful, and the taste is beyond description

One possesses the cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refinement, is very young in age, yet has the experience of a previous life, along with extensive combat experience

As I continued to eat bite by bite, I suddenly realized that the grilled mushrooms were gone

First, thread the gray mushrooms onto a stick, and then ignite a fire below using firewood

Such a rapid rate of improvement, when mentioned to anyone, would undoubtedly astonish them, leading them to believe that it is absolutely impossible

At last, it has been accomplished

The freshness of the mushrooms, the tenderness of the mushrooms, the aroma of the mushrooms, and so on, all burst forth simultaneously

At this moment, a light screen on the wall to the east displayed: "Another person has entered the immortal master's legacy."

Yet now, it has forcibly occurred within oneself

One cannot help but exclaim, this is indeed a full pound of roasted mushrooms, and it has disappeared so quickly

Yan Zhen saw some firewood in a corner of the cave, so she decided to roast mushrooms instead

Oh, isn't this Qin An, the old servant of Ouyang Song? In the previous life, it was he who obtained the scroll of celestial cuisine, but since he was a eunuch and could not utilize this treasure, he handed the scroll over to Ouyang Song, thereby assisting Ouyang Song in creating the brilliance of the previous life

I have consumed countless barbecues and mushrooms, prepared in various ways

However, Yan Zhen also understood that she was not currently a match for Qin An.

After being processed with the culinary scroll, the flavor of the gray mushroom has increased several times compared to its original taste

Therefore, this extremely wonderful mushroom is certainly not due to craftsmanship, but rather should be attributed to the quality of the ingredients

... ...

In this lifetime, it is finally my turn to be impressive

It seems that heaven subtly intends for Qin An to obtain the treasure of the scroll of celestial delicacies, and then for Qin An to deliver this treasure into the hands of Ouyang Song

It seems, it feels just like the sensation of spring on the tip of the tongue

This is 5 parts frightening, 3 parts monstrous, 1 part unbelievable, and 1 part hard to believe

After adding salt, it becomes very fragrant, and after adding cumin, it is even more refreshingly aromatic

Carrying a fire starter and combustible wood with oneself, this combustible wood can be ignited like regular wood and can be reused multiple times

After a while, the changes in the gray mushroom seemed to have come to a halt

However, there has never been a time when it was this delicious

No wonder in the previous life, Ouyang Song, who obtained this treasure through the dark hands of Qin, was so impressive and renowned in the realm of cultivation; it seems that this is indeed the case

Once Qin An has chosen one of them, he believes that by breaking through, he can kill and seize treasures, thus obtaining another valuable item

Yan Zhen was pondering in her heart how to deal with Qin An, who had now also intruded into this immortal lord's hidden treasure.

Yan Zhen picked up the roasted mushrooms, inhaled deeply, and found them to be very fragrant

It has been decided to wait until Qin An has obtained the treasure before striking him down.

In addition, the Yin Wei Meridian of the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, located in the hand, allows cultivators to increase their speed of action significantly after it is opened.

Without a doubt, it is certainly - kill

Is the food modification complete? It was faster than I expected

Moments later, the Celestial Gray Mushroom appeared in my hand. At this time, the weight of the Celestial Gray Mushroom was essentially the same as before, but it looked much more beautiful, being crystal clear and transparent. Additionally, it felt as if I was touching warm jade.

Mushrooms can be stir-fried, made into soup, or stir-fried with meat, but currently, there is no pot available

The swallow indeed possesses a rather strong killing instinct

It is normal for one to progress from the fourth level of Qi Refinement to the fifth level of Qi Refinement. Without elaborating too much, it typically takes six months to a year, and it may even take longer.

Moreover, it should be noted that Qin An is Ouyang Song's loyal servant and right-hand man. In the previous life, Ouyang Song's arrogance was largely due to Qin An's offerings, and thus, it is only fitting that Qin An should be killed.

In such circumstances, I fear it would be difficult to defeat Qin An.

This is merely the first level of food being placed within; once the culinary scroll opens up the subsequent levels, it will be possible to include second-level and third-level foods, which will be even more extraordinary

This is the celestial gray mushroom

It is well known that the effects of the culinary scrolls are significant, but I did not expect them to be this substantial. Merely consuming a meal prepared with the culinary scroll resulted in a hard increase of one level.

Once one has chosen the scroll of celestial cuisine, no other options may be selected

I am somewhat excited now, after all, this is the first time using a food scroll

It seems that the grilled mushrooms were so delicious that I unknowingly finished them all.

However, I have only used it for a mere day, no, it was merely the time taken to have a meal, and I have already boosted my magical power to the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage. This rate of improvement is simply extraordinary.

Ouyang Song possesses considerable fortune

Qin An possesses the magical power of the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, is of considerable age, and has extensive combat experience

According to reason, Qin An should currently be in Linfeng City at the foot of the mountain, yet it is unknown why he suddenly rushed back to Fengyun Mountain in the middle of the night, and even arrived at Shuangyue Valley to enter the remains of the Immortal Venerable, which is truly an unexpected turn of events

Moreover, it is best to wait until Qin An has chosen one of the treasures before proceeding with the killing

Yan's hand rested on the scroll of delicacies, and an unusual sensation immediately arose

After all, each person can only choose one of these ten treasures

Grilling mushrooms is actually quite simple, yet even this straightforward method can yield a delightful flavor

Almost there
