Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 242 Rare Delicacies

The egg white slowly flowed out of the eggshell, which had softened from its original hardness. Despite this, the eggshell was surprisingly elastic and did not collapse or deform despite losing its internal support, maintaining its original shape steadily.

Mo Yuming carefully cut open the eggshell with a delicate bamboo knife in his hand.

His movements were gentle and precise, as if he were sculpting a precious work of art. As the blade moved, the eggshell was evenly cut into fine threads, as light and graceful as delicate silver threads. These eggshell threads then gently floated onto the surface of the egg soup, scattering like snowflakes.

Now look at the egg yolk floating on top of the soup; it resembles a piece of golden, shimmering jelly, radiating an enticing sheen. Its creamy texture is delicate and translucent, soft and smooth, making one yearn to take a bite immediately.

Mo Yuming skillfully picked up a ladle and scooped a small bowl of egg yolk paste from the pot. Then, he carefully ladled some steaming hot broth and gently poured it over the egg yolk paste. In an instant, the egg yolk paste and broth blended together, releasing a rich aroma.

Mo Yuming picked up the small bowl with both hands, brought it close to his lips, tilted the bowl slightly, and took a small sip along the rim.

In that instant, an indescribable, wonderful taste filled my mouth. The first sensation was the extremely smooth texture of the egg yolk, which slid down my throat and into my stomach with almost no chewing.

The egg white soup is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, with a perfect consistency and no greasiness. The eggshells mixed in with the soup have a unique soft, tender, sweet, and crisp flavor that leaves a lasting impression.

Once the spiritually potent egg was fully swallowed, the ultimate wood elemental power contained within it was released in its entirety.

This powerful and pure energy flows through the body's meridians like a clear spring, instantly invigorating the spirit and making one feel refreshed, as if all fatigue and stress have vanished in this moment.

Mo Yuming couldn't help but exclaim in delight, "It really is a delicious delicacy! Even dragon liver and phoenix marrow are no better than this!"

Then everyone took turns tasting it, and they all exclaimed in amazement. The children, however, were still not satisfied after finishing their meal. But the spiritual energy contained in the steamed egg custard was too strong, and one spoonful was the limit for each of them. In particular, since they were all descendants of the Witch Clan, their cultivation of profound arts was not as good as that of ordinary children, so it was even more difficult for them to absorb the rich and extreme wood spiritual energy.

So they could only watch enviously as they ate other foods. Although they weren't as intoxicating as the secret-recipe spirit egg, the dishes were still rare delicacies on the market, things that even royalty might not be able to easily obtain.

After eating the spirit egg custard, the two youngest girls only ate some fruit and drank some juice before reaching their limit and could no longer eat. They had to leave early to go to the open space outside to refine and absorb the spiritual energy that was about to burst.

Just then, two Homo sapiens arrived outside; they were the white ape brother and sister whom Old Man Mo had helped heal before. From then on, Mo Yuming and Xinlan often played with them, and when Mo Yuming and the others left the canyon, they entrusted them with the care of their captive magical beasts.

Mo Yuming knew their arrival was undoubtedly due to the spaceship; such a large spaceship landing in the valley would surely shock and unsettle the Homo sapiens. Originally, Mo Yuming had intended to explain to the Homo sapiens when the spaceship first entered the canyon, but at that time he was in a spirit state and unable to communicate with them. Therefore, he had to give up.

Now that they had come on their own, Mo Yuming was naturally very happy and quickly invited them to eat together. However, since Homo sapiens are vegetarians, they only ate some fruit and juice.

After a hearty meal, everyone at the table, except for a few quiet girls, ate with gusto, their mouths glistening with oil. Only when they could no longer eat did they reluctantly depart to cultivate and refine their essence.

Among those present, besides Mo Yuming, the three who ate the most heartily were He Ye and his companions. All three were Heaven-rank experts, and the extreme spiritual energy contained in the food posed no threat to them. After lunch, their bellies had swelled considerably, turning them into portly fat men.

After the meal, Mo Yuming invited the two Homo sapiens to rest in the corridor. After several years of interaction, Mo Yuming could now communicate freely with the Homo sapiens.

Mo Yuming fabricated a simple story about the spaceship, telling them it was a spoil of war he had captured and would not harm them. He also promised to restore the grass damaged by the spaceship to its original state as soon as possible.

To prevent Xianghe Valley from suffering losses, and to thank them for helping him raise the magical beasts, Mo Yuming gave them some small gifts as a token of his gratitude.

After learning about the situation, the two Homo sapiens happily played with Mo Yuming and the others for a while before returning to report the news.

By this time, River God and Lightning God had already returned to the ground. Although Thunder God had been left behind by Mo Yuming to help with the spaceship matters, he had nothing else to do for the time being, so he called a group of boys to go to the ranch where magical beasts were kept to look after them.

Xiao Xiao felt that Mo Yuming needed to rest after recovering from a serious illness, so she insisted on staying to continue taking care of him. She was busy with Ya Zhu at the time.

Mo Yuming was left alone to sit idly in the corridor. So Mo Yuming calmed down and carefully performed an internal examination of his body.

Based on the situation at the time, Lei Ye and the others concluded that they were breaking through to the Heaven Rank and beginning to transform spiritual energy into a core. However, the transformation of spiritual energy into a core is a process called the Transformation Realm, which is the transition period from the Earth Rank to the Heaven Rank, also known as the Quasi-Heaven Rank.

At this moment, the Qi Sea was in a semi-liquid, semi-solid state. However, when Mo Yuming looked inward at his dantian, he found that his Qi Sea had not begun to condense and crystallize; it remained in a liquid state as before.

However, the originally golden spiritual liquid sea has now turned somewhat whitish and shiny, its color has faded considerably, and it has become much more transparent. Moreover, Mo Yuming discovered that his spiritual sea has actually shrunk in size compared to before.

However, when Mo Yuming activated it, he found that his power had not weakened, but rather felt stronger. The meridians that had been shattered by the influx of massive spiritual energy into his body had been forcibly repaired by the 'Water Soul' within him, and had become even stronger, with wider and smoother meridians.

At this moment, Mo Yuming felt that although he had not advanced, his skill was no longer comparable to before. Mo Yuming felt that every hair on his body was full of power.

Although the earth elemental energy is still the most abundant among the five elements in the Qi Sea, the other four elements have also improved significantly. Water, metal, and wood have all broken through to level six and seven, while fire has reached the peak of level eight and is showing signs of breaking through to level nine soon.

Mo Yuming was quite surprised by the result of this ordeal. Although it was extremely painful and dangerous, the gains were very fruitful.

What surprised Mo Yuming the most was the change in his sea of ​​consciousness. This time, through internal observation, Mo Yuming discovered that his sea of ​​consciousness had also begun to take shape, just like the sea of ​​qi in his dantian, forming a vague spherical shape.

The originally transparent and intangible soul power began to take shape, appearing as a dark gray, cloud-like mass of soul power condensed together. The soul sword and soul tablet that he had refined floated quietly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The most direct benefit of the increased soul power to Mo Yuming is that his current sensing energy is more than ten times stronger than before. Originally, he could only use his divine sense to sense the movement of objects within a radius of twenty or thirty feet. Now, not only has his sensing range expanded to more than a hundred feet, but his ability to distinguish objects has also increased several times. Within a range of fifty feet, even mosquitoes hiding under the leaves can be clearly identified.
