Demon hunter's Cooking Manual-Chapter 1329 - 50: Night Talk! _2

Chapter 1329 -50: Night Talk! _2

When he returned to the inn and took off his mask, he once again became Master Mu.

Inside the small courtyard, he lived in the east wing.

Dou Bao and Cui Long lived in the west wing.

Jason, back in his room, could already hear the casual chatter between Dou Bao and Cui Long.

“Sister Cui, do you understand alchemy very well?”

“Ah? No, I don’t want to learn, just purely curious.”

“The bottle in my hand? It’s just some venom I collected from the trenches, I carefully captured a few specimens, unfortunately didn’t manage to raise them, but I understand their general habits. Once it secretes venom, it can kill ten people, this porcelain bottle contains the amount for ten doses!”

“Wow, Sister Cui, you’re so clever, used properly, it can certainly poison a hundred people.”

“Want to take a look?”

“Don’t want to see?”

“Do you want to teach me alchemy?”

“That’s wonderful!”

…

Dou Bao’s joyful and seemingly innocent voice reached his ears.

Yet inexplicably, Jason sensed a subtle threat.

Does Dou Bao want to learn alchemy?

Jason thought, then simply smiled.

Jason didn’t oppose the idea.

An outsider alchemist versus an insider, naturally the latter is better.

As for the alchemist’s talent?

Dou Bao can refine poison, so he should be able to refine pills too, right?

Perhaps.

Jason wasn’t completely sure.

However, there’s no harm in trying it out.

Then, Jason ignored these thoughts and took out the 100 ‘Nourishing Essence Pills’ he just bought at the ‘Black Market’, like eating peanuts, he uncorked the bottle and poured them into his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste of the ‘Nourishing Essence Pill’ made Jason squint in comfort.

The satiation value was increasing wildly.

Eventually, stopping at ‘6871’.

This figure was almost the highest point Jason had ever reached.

Looking at this satiation value, Jason couldn’t help but glance at one of his core skills [Dragon. Battle Tattoo. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Incarnation Body Forging Technique].

If it weren’t for lacking the ‘Twilight’ part, he truly wanted to enhance this core skill’s level.

“‘Twilight’?”

Jason pondered, gently tapping the edge of the table several times.

Regarding ‘Twilight’, he had some self-understood speculative guesses deep down.

However, such guesses were merely self-understanding.

Whether right or wrong, he was completely unaware.

Furthermore, it couldn’t be tested.

After all, based on his understanding of the ‘Mystical Side’, when a ritual begins, it truly cannot be interrupted.

Whether good or bad, this is how it is.

But typically, such blind beginnings mostly trend towards the ‘bad’ side.

Moreover, it results in outcomes unbearable to the ritual arranger.

Thus, if possible, Jason hoped not to proceed in this way.

He hoped to implement a more secure method.

For instance: secret technique.

And conveniently, the current copy world is one filled with various secret techniques.

‘Maybe there’s a suitable secret technique.’

Jason thought as he walked towards the yard.

Regarding the secret techniques of this copy world before him, he didn’t know much.

However, there was someone who should know.

Cui Long!

As the daughter of ‘Big Chief’ Cui Long Wang, Cui Long must possess understanding far exceeding normal people.

However, Jason didn’t disturb Cui Long’s teaching to Dou Bao.

He sat quietly on the stone stool in the courtyard, waiting patiently.

After about an hour—

“Sister Cui, let’s call it a day, I need to prepare a late-night snack for the master.”

With Dou Bao’s cheerful voice, the door of the west wing was pushed open.

“Oh, Master, you’re back?”

“Hungry?”

“I was simmering old ginseng chicken soup in the kitchen.”

Seeing Jason sitting in the courtyard, Dou Bao smiled, eyes curved, then quickly headed to the kitchen, nearly entering when Dou Bao remembered something, pausing her steps.

“How did the master’s matter go?”

“Solved.”

Jason said coldly.

“That’s good.”

Dou Bao didn’t ask for details.

To Dou Bao, if Jason says it’s solved, then it’s solved.

As for anything else?

Not important.

Cui Long stood behind the threshold, watching Jason and Dou Bao’s exchange, though it wasn’t the first time she saw it, every time she witnessed it, she felt it’s incredible.

How could there be people like Jason and Dou Bao.

As if there were no emotions at all.

The other,

emmm…

It’s hard to say.

Cui Long wanted to make a comment, but just then, Dou Bao came out with a pot of chicken soup.

Not the small clay pot that most people would understand.

But a large iron pot.

A large iron pot big enough to hold an entire sheep.

When passing by her, Dou Bao cast a glance at her inadvertently.

Cui Long suddenly thought of the poison from the poison dart frog.

At that moment, she retracted her comment.

And silently withdrew the step she was about to take.

“Master, please have a taste, it’s a pity there’s no large clay pot, the flavor might be a bit off.”

“However, we have plenty of ingredients!”

“The chickens are all old hens, the ginseng is old mountain ginseng.”

“Even if it’s of shallow years, it still has a taste.”

Dou Bao said this, then turned to look at Cui Long with a smile: “Sister Cui, would you like a bowl?”

Though Dou Bao said this, her other hand unconsciously touched the porcelain bottle containing the poison dart frog venom.

Suddenly, Cui Long shook her head repeatedly.

“No, thank you.”

“Eating supper at night will make me fat.”

“I’m on a diet.”

Saying this, Cui Long stepped back two steps and turned into the bedroom of the west wing.

Jason gave an appreciative look toward Dou Bao for this.

Then, he picked up the pot and started drinking.

The bitterness of the ginseng was neutralized by the goji berries, and the fat of the old hen completely melted into the soup, perfectly matching the astragalus.

Jason drank the soup in one gulp as if he was a whale sucking in water.

Then he started eating the meat.

Dou Bao sat to the side and watched Jason devour the food.

Her mother used to watch her father like this.

In the beginning, she didn’t understand why.

But when she met Jason, she suddenly understood.

She also understood why her parents left her.

It was to let her encounter the Master.

In the refugee group, Dou Bao saw all the ‘evil’ in human nature; to survive, those people would stop at nothing, no, they couldn’t be called ‘people’.

They were a pack of beasts.

Especially when you show a hint of weakness, that pack of beasts becomes more frenzied.

So, she usually buried this pack of beasts.

Only to change another pack.

It was the same.

And changing another pack was the same again.

Just when Dou Bao was about to believe there were no good people in the world, she met the Master.

A seemingly rustic, not-so-articulate Master, just stood there in front of her, driving away those ill-intentioned guys.

At that moment, Dou Bao’s world lit up.

Because, light had come in.

Even if this light seemed a bit dull. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

It was still dazzling enough.

Moreover, as time passed, Dou Bao found that although her Master was not good at words, he had a sense of measure in his heart, belonging to the type of wisdom hidden in a simple appearance, and he adhered strictly to his principles.

The former made her delighted.

The latter made her joyful.

Simply put, even just sitting beside him, watching her Master, made her happy and content.

Cui Long listened to the chewing sounds outside disappear and couldn’t help but walk out.

Then she saw Dou Bao with her face in her hands, gazing at Jason, infatuatedly.

A bit foolish.

Hmm.

She seemed like a fool.

Cui Long thought to herself as she stepped out.

It wasn’t voluntary.

It was because Jason looked at her and made a gesture inviting her.

“Master Mu, is there something?”

A few days of interaction had long made Cui Long understand what kind of person Jason was; if not for something, he wouldn’t pay attention to her.

“Miss Cui, do you know if there’s a secret technique related to ‘twilight’?”

Jason asked.

“‘Twilight’?”

Cui Long was taken aback.

“Something with great power, like a twilight apocalypse.”

Jason rephrased it.

Cui Long focused for a moment, then said—

“Yes!”
