Chapter 108: Qing Dynasty Blessed Pork Meat and Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth
[Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Mastery level in carving!]
As the system's voice fell, Qi Han felt a slight warmth in his carving knife, which transformed back into the form of a kitchen knife.
Above the kitchen knife, two Spirit rings, one purple and one yellow, shimmered. At this moment, the yellow Spirit ring suddenly brightened and instantly turned purple.
After a month, Qi Han's carving skills had finally progressed from scratch to the Mastery level, reaching the point where plants were carved with spirituality.
Now, he could carve any plant with both form and spirit. As for animals, he still lacked a bit. Although he could carve them, they lacked spirit.
Retracting the Spirit rings, Qi Han focused and then shifted his attention to the completed Main Mission Five.
"Claim!"
Without hesitation, Qi Han first claimed the Spirit Power Level +5 reward. A warm stream surged through his meridians, and in an instant, Qi Han's Spirit Power jumped from level 22, crossing several realms, to level 27.
Feeling the gradually vigorous Spirit Power within him, Qi Han smiled faintly.
The remaining two rewards made Qi Han hesitate.
Random Recipe Drop x 3 and Random 3 Dish Recipe x 1.
Currently, Qi Han is an intermediate chef, and random recipe drops start from 2 Stars. There's even a chance to get 3 Star recipes, while the 3 Star random recipe guarantees a 3 Star recipe.
Both are excellent rewards, but with the lesson from the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb, Qi Han is now worried about encountering a bottleneck. He's concerned about getting stuck with a high-difficulty recipe, preventing him from learning other recipes.
"System, can I use the recipes first, only extracting the recipes, and then choose one to enter the training space after extracting all of them?"
The system remained silent for a moment before responding.
[Yes.]
That's not a problem then.
Qi Han's spirits lifted, and without hesitation, he chose the 3 Star random recipe.
Come on! Let me see what 3 Star recipe you'll give me.
A purple roulette appeared in front of Qi Han. The roulette spun rapidly, finally stopping abruptly. The selected color block enlarged, revealing a vivid image in front of Qi Han.

Qi Han's pupils contracted suddenly. It's actually this dish?
The top-notch cooking method for pork belly: Qing Dynasty Blessed Pork Meat! (清宫万福肉)
[3 Star Recipe: Qing Dynasty Blessed Pork Meat. Cooked by the Shandong Imperial Chef Zhao Guibao during Empress Dowager Cixi's sixtieth birthday banquet. After steaming, boiling, cooking, frying, and other processes, the fat from the pork belly is entirely refined, making the pork belly fatty but not greasy. Even if consumed regularly, it won't make people gain weight. Deeply loved by Empress Dowager Cixi and the concubines, spontaneously named "Prosperous Meat."]

Sucking in a breath, Qi Han couldn't help but feel a chill.
Being able to eliminate hidden ailments and chronic illnesses was almost equivalent to addressing the root cause of diseases, a miraculous healing.
This wasn't just an ordinary healing effect.
Forcing down his excitement, Qi Han claimed the three random recipe rewards, intending to see if any surprises would come up.
A four-colored roulette emerged, spinning quickly under Qi Han's anxious gaze. Soon, the random results appeared.

3 Star Recipe: Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth.jpg
Crab Stuffed with Orange is a specialty dish from Suzhou and Hangzhou, with a novel preparation, fresh taste, and unique aroma. The deliciousness of crab and the sweet and sour taste of orange blend perfectly, making this dish likely to be loved by diners.
Moreover, Qi Han thought she might like this dish too.
A graceful figure slowly emerged in Qi Han's mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Ginkgo Biloba Dish is a dish from Shandong cuisine, one of the dishes of the Kong Family.
The Kong Family's cuisine is renowned for its exquisite and luxurious ingredients, and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Making a Commotion Among the Arhats dish is particularly famous. As one of the Kong Family's renowned dishes, Ginkgo Biloba Dish has almost no drawbacks, except that it shouldn't be eaten too much due to the toxicity of ginkgo nuts.
Ginkgo nuts, also known as white fruits, are mildly toxic, and only about ten can be consumed at a time, or else corresponding symptoms of poisoning may occur.
[This system has hybridized ginkgo nuts with the original plants from the Douluo Continent, removing their toxicity. Host can rest assured to consume.]
Oh, that's not a problem then.
The most surprising thing for Qi Han was the 3 Star recipe: Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth.
Qi Han had previously tested the system once, but the system wasn't foolish and didn't place this dish among the 1 Star vegetables, disappointing Qi Han.
Random recipe rewards starting from 2 Stars had a high probability of being 2 Stars, and 3 Stars or above had a very low probability.
Although Qi Han harbored some wishful thinking, he never expected to receive such a top-tier Sichuan dish.
Yes, the seemingly ordinary name, "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth," represented a top-notch Sichuan cuisine that could make it to state banquets.
[3 Star Recipe: Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, created by the Sichuan royal chef Huang Jinglin in the Qing palace. Later, Huang Jinglin brought this cooking method back to Sichuan, and it became widely known. After being promoted by the Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong, it became a masterpiece in state banquets. The finished dish is fresh, light, fragrant, rich in soup, not greasy, but clear and refreshing.]
[Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth Special Effect: After consumption, the next meditation will trigger a purifying effect, +1 innate Spirit power level (can only be triggered three times per person).]
[Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth Selling Price: 1000 Gold Coins per serving]
The system's introduction came a bit late, and Qi Han's pupils trembled instantly.
Goodness, this special effect!
An increase of +1 in innate Spirit power level meant a transformation almost like a rebirth, enhancing the Spirit master's inherent talent and future potential. Such a transformative effect was nearly terrifying.
Fortunately, the special effect of Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth could only be triggered three times per person; otherwise, everyone might become a genius with full innate Spirit power, and the entire Douluo Continent would go crazy.
With all the rewards claimed, Qi Han suppressed his excitement at obtaining two 3 Star recipes and turned his attention to the new tasks. However, upon closer inspection, he was suddenly dumbfounded.
What's going on?
All three new tasks seemed to be related to opening a new store?
"System? I've been running my store well in Shrek City. Why do I have to open a new one?"
[Leave the comfort zone, starting with me.]
Leaving the comfort zone? Qi Han's face twitched.
Looking at the time-limited task, which required him to reach Star Luo City, choose a store location within three days, it seemed like it was urging him to leave Shrek City as soon as possible.
"System, tell me honestly, why are these tasks appearing? It feels like you've been planning this for a long time."
[Because Star Luo City is about to host the once-every-five-years Advanced Spirit Master Academy Fighting Tournament, a grand event that will undoubtedly attract a massive crowd from all over the continent. By going to Star Luo City now, the host can quickly increase the influence of the small store across the entire Douluo Continent.]
This makes sense.
Qi Han nodded understandingly. With this explanation, he could comprehend why he had to open a new store in Star Luo City for no apparent reason.
By the way, didn't Fu Ya mention something before? She would represent Shrek Academy in the upcoming Advanced Spirit Master Academy Fighting Tournament across the continent? This seems like quite a coincidence.
