Industrial Cultivation

Chapter 181: Magic Lantern Fruit

Views:

Yin Kanwei didn't expect that the junior sister from the Industrial Sect had such a high level of cultivation. He was not paying attention for a moment and she approached him silently.

Seeing that the beautiful head was about to tilt onto the shoulder, Yin Kanwei's hair stood on end. He instinctively gathered devilish energy in his palms and was about to throw a heavy punch.

Fortunately, his remaining rationality reminded him that this was a guest from the Industrial Sect, so he retracted his fist and moved a dozen feet away from the spot.

Li Ying's pounce was in vain, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face: "Brother Yin, why are you avoiding me? Do you dislike your sister?"

Yin Kanwei's expression almost broke, and he said solemnly: "Junior Sister Ji, please respect yourself."

Li Ying raised his eyebrow and said, "Brother Yin is a demon, why is he pretending to be a decent person?"

Yin Kanwei: “…”

To be honest, Junior Sister Xiao Ji looks much more evil than him.

Where on earth did the Industrial Sect recruit such disciples

Zhu Changyang wiped his face and said with a stern face: "Xiaoji, stop pestering Brother Yin and go back to your seat."

Let the robot imitate, but he surpassed it directly.

If we let him continue like this, the reputation of the Industrial Sect will be ruined.

"Oh." Li Ying had to move back reluctantly, and gave Yin Kanwei a sinister look before leaving.

Humph, this time he finally knows this guy’s weakness!

This look gave Yin Kanwei, who had just been frightened, a different interpretation.

Yin Kanwei:!

What on earth does she want to do?!

Yin Kanwei was still in shock and it took him a while to calm down. While guarding against his junior sister, he continued to greet Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu.

The servants brought up several more dishes. Except for the instant noodles at the beginning, the others were all delicacies from the Western Demon Realm.

Fine wine, boiled animal meat, etc.

At this time of year, except for the industrialized areas, the condiments everywhere were very monotonous, even chili powder was rare. Some coarse salt, fennel, also known as cumin, and spices introduced from abroad were already rare treasures that very few people could use.

There is also fruit nectar rich in spiritual energy, which is imported from other continents at a high price.

Li Ying had already developed a good appetite in the Industrial Sect, and he was very disdainful of these delicacies. He used his chopsticks to pick at one of the bowls of green vegetable soup, and suddenly found a leaf. His face immediately pulled up: "What does Protector Yin mean? He actually wants us to eat something like the Magic Lantern Fruit?"

This bowl of vegetable soup is made from none other than the vine leaves of the magic lantern fruit.

Magic Lamp Fruit grows widely in the Western Regions. In addition to being used to refine magic lamps, some low-level demons also use it as food. However, this thing has a bitter taste and a bad texture, so people of any status disdain to eat it.

It was extremely disrespectful of Yin Kanwei to serve such crude food on the table to entertain them.

Yin Kanwei was a little surprised: "Junior Sister Ji actually knows the Magic Lantern Fruit? Has she been to the Demon Realm before?"

The righteous and the evil rarely interact with each other, and the magic lantern fruit does not have any special functions like the Fu Xuerong and the night insect. It is just an ordinary weed. Very few people from other continents will come specifically to collect this plant, so few righteous people can recognize the magic lantern fruit at a glance.

Li Ying:!

Oh no, it almost got exposed again!

He was familiar with the experience, so he immediately supported his chin with one hand and laughed, "To be honest, I am very interested in things in the Demon Realm. If Brother Yin has time, can you teach me more?"

“Ahem!” Yin Kanwei’s face turned green, and he waved his hands repeatedly, “No, you don’t know, although I am a member of the Demon Sect, I actually don’t know anything about the Demon Realm.”

Studio:

[Oh my god! The robot guy is awesome. He has driven the demon brother to the point of being incoherent. He even calls himself a demon cult. Hahaha! ]

[Ji Lao: Special Move√]

Yin Kanwei avoided the chilling gaze of Junior Sister Xiao Ji, looked straight at Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu, and explained: "Although the magic lantern fruit is cheap, it can be used to fill the stomach. Brother Jiang Hui thought that if it could be turned into a delicacy, it would be a great blessing for the people of the Demon Realm. He has always loved food and has studied it. He came to the Demon Realm to reminisce with me several times, and he specially picked the magic lantern fruit to cook and eat. This dish was thought up by him, you two may as well give it a try."

If it were any other guests, Yin Kanwei would definitely not treat them with the magic lantern fruit, but Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu were both old friends of Jiang Hui, so he specially invited them to taste it.

Zhu Changyang realized: "I have a heart."

Jiang Hui obviously put a lot of thought into this dish.

First blanch the leaves of the magic lantern fruit to reduce the astringency, grind them into a fine puree, then put them into the clear soup made from the beast meat and boil them, season and thicken them, finally add the meat soup and fish paste and add a drop of balsamic vinegar.

Zhu Changyang took a sip and found it smooth in the mouth. The unique freshness of the vine leaves was mixed with a hint of meaty aroma, without any of the bitterness.

"Delicious!" Zhu Changyang finished a large bowl in two or three gulps and gave a thumbs up, "Elder Jiang really knows how to eat!"

Yin Kanwei smiled, with some regret in his tone: "It's a pity that the vegetable soup is complicated to make. It's not easy to use it as a daily diet."

It is relatively simple to blanch the vine leaves and grind them into a paste, but the key is to season the stew.

Zhu Changyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe we can try using the ready-made broth."

Yin Kanwei was confused: "What do you mean by ready-made soup stock?"

Zhu Changyang took out a familiar transparent small bag and said, "The oil bag of instant noodles contains bone broth ingredients. Why don't you cooperate with Dongyao Sect Leader and buy some bone broth bags from her separately? Then you can easily cook the magic lantern fruit, right?"

"Is it possible?" Yin Kanwei was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that this method was feasible.

The instant noodle seasoning packets are rich in flavor and easy to use. If they can be introduced to the Western Regions, they will definitely greatly improve the dietary standards of the demons.

But then he sneered, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

The two religions have been at odds for many years, and it is extremely difficult for them to cooperate. If they really approach the Hui religion, I am afraid that Dong Yaoyan will take the opportunity to make things difficult and bring up the issue of unification again.

Thinking of this, Yin Kanwei's eyes flashed red, and he said quietly, "It would be great if the Western Region could find a long-term and stable livelihood like the Eastern Region..."

The natural environment of the Western Demon Realm is not much better than that of the Eastern Realm, and the demons here are also eyeing other realms covetously. However, Jiufang Ruo knows that with the current strength of the Demon Realm, it is difficult to occupy the righteous territory, so he has to suppress it by force.

Now that the East Region has suddenly become popular and produces down jackets and instant noodles, it will definitely surpass the West Region in the long run. I am afraid that in the future, a large number of demons in the West Region will move to the East Region, which is not a good thing for the Su Sect.

When Yin Kanwei mentioned this matter, a hint of devilishness appeared in his expression, but he quickly suppressed it.

Zhu Changyang glanced at Jun Shu subconsciously, and saw that Jun Shu had a calm expression, as if nothing happened normally, but his eyes were lowered and he looked a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Noticing the gaze from the side, Jun Shu turned around and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Zhu Changyang shook his head: "It's okay..."

Jun suddenly had an idea, coughed lightly, and whispered, "I know what you are thinking, restrain yourself, and we will talk about it tonight."

Then he handed over a golden cup considerately and said, "Drink some wine to calm down first."

Zhu Changyang: “…”

Brother Ci is really good, he can always find new opportunities to cheat anytime and anywhere.

Zhu Changyang was speechless for a moment, but calmly took the wine glass and drank it. He felt something touching his lips, and when he looked down, he found that there was a thumb-sized fruit soaked in the wine. He asked, "What is this?"

"This is the magic lantern fruit." Yin Kanwei said.

In addition to being used to refine magic lanterns, the magic lamp fruit can also be made into wine. However, it is not as good as the spiritual fruit from the righteous continent, and is not liked by outsiders. It is only popular among the demons.

"Is that so..." Zhu Changyang looked at the hard fruit and thought of the burning magic lamp on the moat. He took out the fruit and rubbed it with his fingers. While examining it, he asked, "Is this kind of fruit common?"

"Don't use too many." Li Ying responded first, and then snorted, "Ruowang City can see them everywhere. You can dig out a bunch of them from a blade of grass."

Yin Kanwei couldn't help but look at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Junior Sister Xiao Ji's tone was inexplicably familiar.

The voice is obviously unfamiliar.

A strange thought flashed through his mind, and he secretly gathered his aura, wanting to explore her sea of consciousness.

At this moment, a guard rushed in, "Protector, there's something wrong in the west wing."

Yin Kanwei frowned: "What's going on?"

The guard glanced at the guest next to him with hesitation. Yin Kanwei understood what he meant, stood up and walked to the corner of the hall, whispering to the guard.

This distance was not a problem for Jun Shu at all. He took a casual glance and heard the conversation between the two.

After a while, Yin Kanwei walked back to the hall and bowed to the three guests. "I'm sorry, something happened in the church and I have to go deal with it. Please make yourselves at home. If you want to rest, there are servants outside who will take you to the guest rooms."

After that, he did not explain further and hurriedly left the banquet hall with the guards.

Zhu Changyang looked at Jun Shu, and Jun Shu nodded: "Let's go and take a look."

The three of them stood up immediately. Jun Shu used the art of shrinking the ground into an inch, avoided the guards at the door, and followed Yin Kanwei's trail.

The guard just came to report that the guest in the west wing was missing. The two did not mention the identity of the guest during their conversation, but Yin Kanwei's attitude was so serious that it was obvious that he was not an ordinary "guest".

Yin Kanwei cast a series of spells and soon arrived at the west wing.

Several demon cultivators on guard had green faces: "Protector, the kid ran away."

"Where did you run from?" Yin Kanwei's face was gloomy. "Are you useless? So many people can't even take care of a child?"

Several demon cultivators looked at each other and said guiltily: "We don't know what happened. The doors and windows are all fine..."

Yin Kanwei entered the room and checked it out. Sure enough, the doors and windows were intact, and there was no loophole that could be used for escape.

He was confused, frowned, and released his spiritual sense.

After a while, he appeared on the roof in a flash. He stood on the tiles and looked around, and finally stopped on a lush tree behind the wing room.

Yin Kanwei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Sibao, don't hide anymore."

Upon seeing this, the guards below immediately rushed over and stood guard around the tree trunk.

But the tree was completely silent, without even a sound of breathing.

Yin Kanwei sighed, "If you don't come out, I will have no choice but to take action..."

As he spoke, his pupils turned blood red, and a black demonic energy suddenly gathered around the tree and slowly gathered towards the crown of the tree.

There are guards guarding the bottom of the tree, and there is nothing to rely on on the top of the tree.

The little girl was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and could not fly in the air, so naturally she had no way to escape.

Because Yin Kanwei was not in a hurry, he reminded her while casting the spell, "Miss Sibao, you can't run away..."

Before he finished speaking, an attendant exclaimed, "Protector, she flew away!"

Yin Kanwei:

Looking in the direction of the servant's finger, I saw a little girl with her hands clasped on her head, her palms turning quickly. Just before the evil energy gathered, she passed through the gap and flew obliquely out of the tree canopy.

You can faintly hear the sound of wind caused by the rotation of the palms.

Yin Kanwei:

What kind of evil magic is this

The author has something to say:

Brother Yin: I have seen this sister before.

Junior Sister Xiao Ji: Giegie, Brother Jiang won’t be angry, right

Elder Jiang: Get out!
