A steady wave of mouth-watering fragrance rose out of the cauldron, assaulting the noses of any who smelled it.
Bei Feng did not know what the ginseng fruit Piggy had eaten in Journey to the West tasted like, but he felt that, based on the fragrance emitted from the cauldron right now, regardless of whether it was comparable to the fabled ginseng fruit or not, the food inside was definitely a rare delicacy which was almost impossible to find on Earth!
Bei Feng looked at the squirming runes on the cauldron with an incredulous expression. This cauldron was truly strange. The carvings could actually move by themselves!
No matter how he looked, he couldn't figure out how this phenomenon came to be. In the end, he simply stopped paying attention to it.
"Bang!"
The basic wok lid which Bei Feng had placed on the cauldron was blasted high into the sky by the compressed steam in the cauldron. At the same time, a beam of light no thicker than a thumb shot out of the cauldron.
'Eh? Why is the light beam so small?'
Bei Feng peered into the cauldron with surprise. He still remembered the scene he'd witnessed a mere moment ago. Two huge beams of light had shot out of the cauldron back in the other world. It was so much thicker and brighter than this skinny ray of light now!
'Could it be that the Variant Giant Salamander meat is too low in quality?'
That seemed to be the only logical explanation.
Bei Feng commanded Mystic Two and Mystic Three to extinguish the fire below the cauldron as he placed his hand on the cauldron.
Despite being enveloped in raging flames for over an hour, the cauldron only felt slightly lukewarm to the touch!
"Slurp!"
Bei Feng dipped a ladle into the milky white broth and brought it to his mouth.
It was only a tiny sip, but that one sip caused his eyes to snap open as a myriad of flavors burst forth in his mouth!
Hot, bitter, sweet, sour, salty... all kinds of flavors could be found in the soup, their ratio simply perfect.
Although these flavors were merged together perfectly, one could still clearly tell the various flavors apart and not only as a lumped whole! [1]
The soup also left a fresh herbal aftertaste in the mouth after swallowing.
As the soup entered the stomach, a strong nourishing energy possessed by medicinal essence spread throughout Bei Feng's body.
'This is too delicious! I didn't add any condiments or seasonings but this soup already contains all the different flavors!'
Bei Feng's eyes lit up in delight.
'The amount of energy in this soup is even more abundant than the Imperial Shrimp's! It's actually two times stronger!'
He had not expected much from the lower-graded meat of the Variant Giant Salamander. It would be good if the amount of energy contained within could match the Imperial Shrimp's. But after a round of cooking in the medicinal cauldron, the energy in the meat had risen by more than an entire grade!
'It appears that the increase in energy is caused by the medicinal essence accumulated over many years of medicine refinements seeping into the meat. For the medicinal essence in the cauldron to be so bountiful despite it being so old... just how powerful were the pills refined by this cauldron in the past?'
The mere thought of it left Bei Feng clicking his tongue in amazement.
A large piece of meat floated in the soup. Bei Feng took a pair of chopsticks and reached into the cauldron, grabbing at the piece of meat. The bit of meat quivered like a jelly as he brought it before his mouth.
Bai Xiang and the rest craned their necks and swallowed violently as they observed Bei Feng's actions.
Against his expectations, the Variant Giant Salamander did not taste as outrageous and flavorful as the soup. In return, the freshness and taste of the meat itself were enhanced to the maximum!
Although it was not as flavorful as the soup, that did not mean that it wasn't delicious! Once the taste of meat was enhanced to its limits, it would bring forth a different kind of attraction.
As he swallowed the piece of meat, Bei Feng realized that he was dropping deeper and deeper down the path of a hopeless foodie. It was almost impossible for him to stop now. When did he become such a glutton?
Perhaps he always had the foodie trait in him, but because he had been so poor in the past, this trait had never surfaced?
Watching the group of people salivating at the side, Bei Feng felt a little uncomfortable enjoying the food by himself. He found a super large bowl and directly lifted the thousand jin heavy cauldron and tipped it over, pouring a portion of the soup and meat into it.
