Chapter 10: A Vicious Plan Against The Dog Demon, The Chen Clan’s True Medicinal Cuisine
Chen Han looked at the lifespan timer. As that warm feeling spread through his whole body, his lifespan kept increasing, but after it had gone up by a little more than one hour, the warmth quickly faded.
He immediately picked up the bowl and continued drinking the soup.
After a few more mouthfuls of soup, that feeling appeared again, and his lifespan once more began to increase.
He also tried taking a couple of bites of meat. Although it tasted very good and was pleasantly chewy, when he ate the meat, that warm feeling was not as strong and was instead very faint.
He understood that the essence of this medicinal cuisine was all in the soup.
The essence contained in the dog demon meat had been extracted, and not much was left.
He immediately continued drinking the soup, then finished a whole bowl of soup and a piece of meat in one go.
“Phew!”
That feeling of ease, with his entire body in a perfect state, made him let out a breath involuntarily.
So satisfying.
After one bowl of medicinal cuisine, that warm, perfect condition of his body still lingered.
Also, when that feeling faded, he checked the increase in his lifespan, and it was exactly six hours.
Lifespan: 28 days 0 hours 40 minutes.
Without hesitation, he immediately got another bowl of medicinal cuisine and started eating. That warm, perfect state appeared once again.
Looking at his increasing lifespan, his face was full of smiles.
Right now, for him, gaining even an extra hour of life was a good thing.
However, after finishing the second bowl of medicinal cuisine, as that warm feeling disappeared, he suddenly felt a heat at the tip of his nose, and a nosebleed flowed straight out.
At the same time, the game prompt appeared again:
【Crisis warning: Although the medicinal cuisine made from dog demon blood and flesh is greatly nourishing, please exercise restraint. There is a limit to what an ordinary person can absorb in a day. Weakness unable to receive tonics will backfire!】
“???” Chen Han was speechless.
He had stewed this big pot, and it only allowed him to drink two bowls?
Was this not playing him?
Still, complaints aside, he also understood his own physical condition.
Weakness unable to receive tonics really was the best description of him.
He checked his lifespan: 28 days 6 hours 35 minutes.
Another six hours added.
In other words, two bowls of medicinal cuisine had added a total of half a day of lifespan.
Added to the spiritual energy rinse, that just made one full extra day of life.
Looking at that big pot of medicinal cuisine, he felt a bit regretful. It was simply a waste.
He tried to put the big pot of medicinal cuisine into the warehouse, but found that in the warehouse, a countdown had appeared on the medicinal cuisine.
It was exactly one hour, which should be as the remark said: it had to be consumed within half an hour, otherwise the essence would scatter and the medicinal cuisine would have no effect.
This should have been caused by the game mechanism.
In many games now, if you do not use items in time, they expire or simply become useless.
But the dog demon meat itself was fine, yet once made into medicinal cuisine its essence was going to disperse. Was that not a bit unreasonable?
However, when he looked at the remaining severed dog demon leg and saw that it also had a countdown, he fell silent.
He had not paid special attention earlier, but the severed dog demon leg actually also had a three-day countdown prompt.
When he focused on that countdown, remark information appeared: “After the demonic beast’s death, after a certain period, the essence in the body will begin to dissipate.”
Alright, so it meant the meat also had to be dealt with within three days, and at most could give him another day and a half.
He had no way to save it up and eat it slowly.
He just did not know if the little earth dogs, if they fought the stray dogs outside the village again, could make more dog demon meat drop.
As he was thinking this, the game prompt appeared:
【Today you witnessed the strength and large numbers of the dog demon tribe, and you felt a great crisis. The sect residence will continually be threatened by these dog demons. Under pressure, you thought of a vicious plan to make the dog demons slaughter each other. Please implement it as soon as possible, and keep inciting two waves of dog demon infighting until their power is weakened.】
“???” Chen Han really wanted to say he had not thought that.
This was the game system wronging him.
But looking at this game prompt, he was itching to try.
If he stirred up two waves of dog demon infighting, that would mean more dog demon meat drops, right?
The key part was “keep inciting.” Did that mean he could get a lot of dog demon meat?
Thinking this, he took that big pot of medicinal cuisine out of the warehouse again.
Just then, from outside came his uncle’s surprised voice: “What is that smell? It is so fragrant!”
Chen Lin entered the courtyard, followed by Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng.
They had finished most of the fence wall that afternoon, and he had invited the two to eat at his place.
Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng naturally did not stand on ceremony. They knew Chen Lin had wine here, and this way they could drink openly without being scolded by their wives when they went back.
Besides, they had helped the patriarch’s side with the work and earned 200 in wages. Chen Lin was the patriarch’s uncle. If he offered them wine, how could they not drink?
Within the Chen Clan, the patriarch’s direct line still had very high status.
In any case, there was already a black pot to take the blame.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three smelled the mouthwatering medicinal fragrance.
“He must be stewing some kind of soup, right?” said Chen Dagou.
Chen Lin led the two into the kitchen and saw Chen Han. “Xiao Han, what are you stewing?”
“I bought some dog meat and tried to work out a medicinal cuisine,” Chen Han explained with a smile, then called to the three of them, “Uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, you are just in time. Come and try it!”
Since it had a time limit and had to be finished, and he himself, with weakness unable to receive tonics, could only drink two bowls a day, it was better to give it to his uncles than waste it.
After greeting the three, he also took out his mobile phone and called his junior sister.
His junior sister had contributed a lot to the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex, so he naturally could not leave her out of the benefits.
Over on the other side, Xiao Yu had just returned to her own courtyard. She saw the call and immediately answered with a bright smile. “Senior brother!”
Chen Han explained, “Come to uncle’s place. I stewed medicinal cuisine. It is very nourishing. Come eat together.”
“Medicinal cuisine, got it, I am coming right away.” Xiao Yu agreed with a smile. In fact, she was not particularly interested in medicinal cuisine itself. She also knew the Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine recipes, and they were nothing special.
But if the medicinal cuisine was stewed personally by her senior brother, eating it would give her a sense of happiness.
She definitely had to eat it.
Chen Lin and the other two were already gathered around that big pot of dog demon meat, amazed as they sniffed the drifting medicinal fragrance.
“This smells too good.”
“Xiao Han, what did you add to this?”
“Yeah, we have eaten plenty of medicinal cuisine within the clan before, but never smelled something this fragrant.”
That medicinal fragrance really whetted their appetites.
Chen Lin took out three bowls and ladled out the medicinal cuisine, giving one bowl each to himself, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng.
The three of them, smelling that mouthwatering medicinal fragrance, could not help but raise the bowls and take a couple of sips.
Chen Dagou drank some soup and took a big bite of meat, then said in surprise, “This meat tastes great, and this kind of chewiness is not something an ordinary dog would have.”
Chen Lin and Chen Shuisheng also took a bite of meat and felt the same.
This texture was definitely not ordinary dog meat. After all, they had all eaten dog meat before.
And just a moment later, the three of them simultaneously showed looks of disbelief.
They felt a warm sensation spread through their whole bodies, and their bodies entered a kind of perfect state, as if all the fatigue from a whole afternoon of work had vanished.
This feeling was too incredible.
They stared at Chen Han as if they had seen a ghost.
They all knew how to make the Chen Clan’s medicinal cuisine and had eaten a lot of it.
It was called an inheritance recipe, but there was nothing special about it. When made, it simply did not have the effects described in the records.
In terms of taste alone, many chefs who used the name of medicinal cuisine made dishes that tasted even better.
But this medicinal cuisine they had just drunk was not only fragrant, and not only did the meat have good texture. That warm, whole-body, perfect-state feeling was truly unbelievable.
It seemed similar to what had been recorded in the Chen Clan Inheritance Medicinal Cuisine recipes.
They instantly realized something.
This was the Chen Clan’s real medicinal cuisine?
