Chapter 547: Chapter 547 – Cooking (Unfathomable)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It must be known that the pedestal of the Fountain of Youth also had this ability. Moreover, it was better than fertilizer.
However, the Dust World Fertilizer’s effect of increasing plant mutation chance was quite mystical.
The pedestal only indicated that it could increase plant growth speed and quality, but it did not mention the chance of increased quality.
Wei Xiao Bei did not expect that the pedestal could easily turn normal quality plants into high-quality plants in a short amount of time.
However, the Dust World Fertilizer could.
Ignoring the original chance of mutation, the 0.0001% chance of mutation meant that after using the fertilizer, 1 out of 10000 plants would be mutated.
Of course, there was no certainty as to whether the mutation would produce a good or bad result.
However, this was inevitable. As long as he planted a lot of plants, then it was certain that some of them would increase in quality.
The ordinary plants become fine products, the seeds of fine plants are sown again, the fine products become treasures, the treasures become fairies …
Well, Wei Xiao Bei knew that this quality improvement was not so simple, but at the very least he wanted to improve the seasoning plants to high-quality or even rare-quality.
If that happened, then the dishes that he could cook would also increase in quality.
It must be known that immortal quality dishes could directly increase a person’s status!
As long as a large number of immortal quality dishes were made, even Wei Xiao Bei could turn a beggar into a superman!
Moreover, these immortal quality dishes were of great value to the gods. How else was Ge Da Tian promoted?
How was the Ming Lun Envoy able to become Lord Immortal Tiger Deity’s 7th Managing Fairy Maiden?
After pondering a bit, Wei Xiao Bei refined more bone ashes. While saving space, Wei Xiao Bei was also training his [Weapon Manufacturing] skill.
However, Wei Xiao Bei felt regret. After refining all the bone ashes, he was only able to refine one high-quality fertilizer.
Next, Wei Xiao Bei took out the half-jade half-stone fragments from his storage bracelet. He used the Yin Flames and refined them into daggers.
For Wei Xiao Bei, daggers were the smallest weapons.
After increasing his [Weapon Manufacturing] skill to advanced, he was stuck.
If he wanted to continue, he needed to offer 10 high-quality weapons.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao Bei had created a lot of daggers, but none of them had reached rare-quality.
There were not many half-stone half-jade fragments left in his storage bag as it was less than 3 cubic meters.
On his way to visit the various sects, he had already used up a lot. After refining for a while, most of the half-jade half-stone fragments had been used up. All that remained were completed jade stone daggers.
It could be said that manufacturing consumed more than cooking.
In the 3 cubic meter half-jade half-stone fragment, at least 1 cubic meter consisted of impurities, expelled from the cauldron. While the other 1 cubic meter may have been jade, it was consumed by the Yin Flames during refining.
Naturally, the refined jade stone dagger was a lot higher in quality than the original material.
Other than the materials used to make daggers, he still had Sheep-Fat White Jade.
However, the value of the Jade was too high and Wei Xiao Bei was unwilling to use it as refining material at the moment. Even if he wanted to improve his skills, he would need to at least reach a higher level before using them.
What about the normal rocks on the ground?
Using them would be a joke. Wei Xiao Bei had tried using normal stone before, but it was not helpful in manufacturing at all. After melting, it was ordinary magma, and he would be unable to make weapons with it.
Without materials for manufacturing, Wie Xiao Bei had no choice. He grasped more than 20 Jade stone daggers and threw them into the cauldron.
The Yin Flames once again began to soar up and lick the daggers.
The Jade tone daggers were rather solid and did not melt even after a while. If it was the half-jade half-stone fragment, it might have already been melted into a ball.
Wei Xiao Bei was not in a rush as he slowly spurred the Yin Flames.
After 10 minutes had passed, the daggers began to soften.
As the daggers began to soften, the surface liquefied while the Yin Flames became even more vigorous.
Wei Xiao Bei had become slightly careless; he had allowed the Yin Flames to shave off a layer of the daggers, causing a decrease in volume.
This was the troublesome part of manufacturing weapons.
The accumulated Yin Flame in the cauldron was not infinite. After some higher quality material had been melted, they could be devoured by and even strengthen the Yin Flames.
Just like that, a lapse in concentration could cause material loss.
Wei Xiao Bei’s biggest loss previously was he had once allowed the cauldron to completely burn the material inside. The powerful Yin Flames had even become so strong that the cauldron almost exploded.
After that incident, Wei Xiao Bei was much more careful in controlling the Yin Flames.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was only at an advanced level in [Weapon Manufacturing]. It was impossible to make no mistakes.
After repeated negligence, the Jade stone dagger had finally melted, but only 70% of it was left.
On the other hand, the Jade stone liquid was purified, once again being reforged into a dagger. However, there were only nine of them.
Even with such a large consumption, from Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, it was worth it.
Among the nine daggers, there were five that were high-quality.
After being refined twice, he was able to gain the 10 high-quality dagger requirements for the skill.
Wei Xiao Bei placed the 10 high-quality daggers on his body and with his thought alone, the daggers suddenly emitted red light. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.
Following the disappearance of the weapons, the requirements for the skill had disappeared.
With that said, the requirements were completed, but he still needed to use 1000 evolution points to level it up.
Wei Xiao Bei looked at his evolution points which had not yet reached 3000. He could not help but shake his head and placed thoughts of leveling up his [Weapons Manufacturing] skill to the back of his head. He would just use the normal jade stone dagger for training.
After accomplishing the level up requirements, Wei Xiao Bei did not continue creating more daggers. On the other hand, he used the existing daggers, melting them, purifying them, condensing them, melting them again, purifying them again, condensing them again. This was done so that he could familiarize himself with the Yin Flames.
This process repeated in many cycles. It was incredibly boring, but Wei Xiao Bei was in a good mood. It was as if he was playing a game.
Of course, the process consumed a lot.
He tossed in 20 daggers and repeated the cycle more than 10 times. When he could not purify it anymore, only a finger-sized ball was left.
After condensing the liquid, the Jade stone had already reached something close to the Sheep-Fat White Jade.
Naturally, the Jade stone could still be purified some more, but Wei Xiao Bei’s [Weapon Manufacturing] skill had reached the pinnacle. If he wanted to purify it again, he needed to raise the level of the skill.
For him, this repeated process had many benefits.
However, he had used up a lot of mental strength in the process, causing him to feel faint.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not panic at his situation. He took out a few meat skewers from his storage bracelet. After a short rest, his mental strength was recovered.
After thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei also took out the last Skeleton Bird’s Soul Pearl and ate it.
The Skeleton Bird’s Soul Pearl could strengthen his soul. After eating it, he immediately felt a chill coursing throughout his body, and an icy, dead aura was born.
His soul would be instantly replenished if it directly consumed the dead aura.
However, he did not require it at all. His body immediately sparked with electricity, dispersing the dead aura.
Afterward, he began to purify daggers again. This time his mental strength could sustain for longer.
After refining and purging, he had once again consumed his mental strength. He rubbed his chin and entertained the thought of returning to the World Tree Dust World to take a look.
After Wei Xiao Bei had used up thousand of daggers, the Jade stone that he had purified was only the size of a palm.
It was white and slightly cyan color.
The blue-green was the impurity that he was unable to remove.
It had now become an excellent cyan jade. If only he could remove the green, then the cyan jade could become Sheep-Fat White Jade. The Sheep-Fat White Jade was much more valuable and several times more expensive.
Wei Xiao Bei did not plan to sell the jade. After being refined more than 10 times, the cyan jade emitted a faint cyan light that appeared spiritual in nature.
From Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, this kind of cyan jade was much better suited for weapon-making than Sheep-Fat White Jade would be.
If he were to sell it, he would not get as good a deal.
After storing the cyan jade, Wei Xiao Bei took a look at his evolution points; 3120.
The monsters surrounding Mt. Song had mostly been killed by the creatures he had bred.
Since he had enough evolution points, he did not hesitate and immediately concentrated on his [Cooking] skill.
After this, his evolution points quickly decreased.
The blue of the [Cooking] skill immediately became dark blue.
Soon, 3000 evolution points were consumed, and the [Cooking] skill had become very blue. A black spot suddenly appeared like ink and dyed the blue with black.
Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his mind was struck by a depth charge. A loud boom occurred within and shook him.
The information related to cooking in Wei Xiao Bei’s memory had all gathered in his mind. The information in his mind then began to intertwine, resulting in more new knowledge.
