Ling Feng saw that the method was effective and quickly increased his strength, condensing the trace of fire attribute true qi onto a single point.
Crackling...
A small flame ignited on the branches, and white smoke gradually thickened.
"It's lit, it's lit!"
Seeing the small flame, Ling Feng lowered himself and increased his effort. The flames grew larger, and the crackling sound became more intense.
"Beautiful, keep it up."
One minute passed.
The pile of branches in front of Ling Feng was engulfed in flames, burning fiercely. Two fish, skewered on wooden sticks, were slowly roasting on a makeshift grill.
As for the wooden sticks, they were shaved from the Xianli Longyin, which proved to be surprisingly handy when used as a knife.
"Alas, the fish is roasting, but it lacks seasoning. If only there were seasonings, the fish would be even more delicious." Ling Feng muttered as he rotated the wooden stick to ensure the fish cooked evenly.
Rustling sound~
A strong gust of wind suddenly blew beside Ling Feng. He turned his head to see that the Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun had already appeared silently beside him.
"Mas-Master, weren't you in your cave abode? When did you come out?"
"What? Do I need to inform you of my whereabouts?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun raised her head, her words laced with a sharp, proud tone, perfectly fitting Ling Feng's perception of her as an arrogant and tsundere character.
"No, Master, you certainly don't need to inform your disciple of your intentions." Ling Feng quickly replied.
"You can cook?" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun asked, looking at the roasting fish, her question seemingly casual but with a hint of underlying intent.
"Ah, a little."
Ling Feng didn't claim to be proficient. His intermediate culinary skills had only granted him recipes and instructions, giving him the knowledge of how to cook but not the seasoned experience. True mastery, or advanced culinary skills, would provide him with near-perfect execution and extensive experience. The ultimate level, top-tier cuisine, would grant him an almost divine level of skill. This was all according to the system.
"Then, do you know how to make Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun immediately inquired, her voice tinged with a hint of anticipation.
Ling Feng's mouth twitched. So this was her true motive.
As Ling Feng thought of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, its recipe and steps immediately appeared in his mind.
"Yes, in my world, I have made this dish before."
Ling Feng knew this was an opportune moment to increase Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's favorability towards him, and he wasn't lying. He could indeed make it now.
"Then, can you make it now?"
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's voice was filled with excitement, her words momentarily betraying her previously established persona. Ling Feng froze on the spot.
Noticing Ling Feng's unusual reaction, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun realized her words had been out of character. She coughed a few times.
"Ahem, what I mean is, one must be honest. I require you to make a portion to prove you weren't lying."
"But Master, I don't have any ingredients right now." Ling Feng spread his hands in helplessness.
"That's simple."
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun flapped her wings slightly, and fresh ingredients appeared before Ling Feng, floating in the air thanks to the use of wind elemental powers.
"These are the ingredients for Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. Take a look."
Ling Feng didn't need to count; he recognized them immediately. The recipe was the same as in Genshin Impact: two Snapdragon, two Tofu, and a Lotus Head, with the only difference being the addition of some seasonings.
Ling Feng picked up the iron pot beside him, gathered all the ingredients, and then took down the two perfectly roasted fish from the grill. Despite the lack of seasoning, the aroma of the roasted fish was still incredibly enticing.
"Hmm, smells delicious."
Ling Feng quickly devoured one of the fish to satisfy his hunger. The other one was for Tu Shan Hong Hong.
Tu Shan Hong Hong hadn't eaten properly in a long time. Although she had attacked him earlier, it was for a reason. Besides, she was now considered his companion, and he couldn't let her starve.
Ling Feng stored the roasted fish in his system space and then prepared to wash the pot to start making the Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun had been focused on Ling Feng. When he stored the roasted fish in his system space, she had naturally noticed, which left her somewhat puzzled. Despite her vast knowledge, she had never witnessed anything like it.
On the Teyvat continent, those who could achieve such a feat were usually Vision holders, as Visions granted them an internal storage space of one cubic meter.
While the Three-Eyed Five-Seen Immortals like them possessed similar immortal arts, they were different from what Ling Feng had just done.
Therefore, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun could only attribute it to Ling Feng's unique abilities. After all, he was an otherworldly person; were strange special abilities really that surprising? Not at all.
Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun watched Ling Feng busy himself. Although he was human, this disciple seemed quite promising, especially if he could make her favorite Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, which would be even more perfect.
Was there anything wrong with a disciple cooking for their master? Absolutely not!
Moreover, if Ling Feng knew more, wouldn't she be able to taste even more delicious food?
"Hmm, it is indeed Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. I wonder if the taste is up to par. I shall sample it first and then inform you."
With that, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, along with the pot, vanished from Ling Feng's presence.
Seeing this, Ling Feng inwardly mused, "As expected of you, my tsundere foodie Zhenjun. You could have just said you wanted to eat."
