Chapter 158 Victory Star and Wishing Star
Li Shuwen plans to try the giant clay pot mushroom soup mentioned in the recipe.
This is a recipe that can temporarily enhance strength. After the effects of the food wear off, it can permanently increase the strength of a portion of the user.
Looking at the recipe, Cynthia said, "I think that to create the effects of the food described in the classics, it's not just about the power of the ingredients; the rituals performed by the maker during the preparation process are also crucial."
Li Shuwen's lips twitched. "You mean what I'm making isn't food, but a potion that requires a specific magical ritual?"
Although Li Shuwen already possesses several superpowers, he truly doesn't know magic.
Cynthia stroked her chin. "According to my grandmother's and my research, the people who perform the rituals to create these special foods do not actually possess any special abilities."
"By using the appropriate materials, one can summon power from the spirits of nature."
Nature spirits? What are those?
Li Shuwen asked Cynthia, and Cynthia said she didn't know either.
That's why we need to try to understand what nature spirits are.
Cynthia gave Li Shuwen the ingredients for making Giant Pot Mushroom Soup.
Li Shuwen's lips twitched, especially at that simple, old-fashioned earthenware pot.
"Could this earthenware pot be the antique the professor found in the ruins?"
Cynthia nodded. "Since we couldn't find the method for making the earthenware pot, we had to use this pot to recreate the process as accurately as possible."
The production location, including the location itself, cannot be far away in a modern building.
Cynthia led Li Shuwen directly to an open space in Shenhe Town.
Li Shuwen frowned. He had a feeling that something was off about the woods not far from the clearing.
Cynthia waved her hand. "What are you looking at?"
Li Shuwen pointed to the woods, "Something doesn't feel right about this woods."
Cynthia said, "I used to play in that woods a lot when I was a kid, there's nothing wrong with that."
Since Cynthia had said that, Li Shuwen felt it must be his imagination.
But after thinking about it, I decided to activate the waveguide power check.
The waveguide force test results showed that everything was normal.
Li Shuwen then put aside his doubts and began making the Giant Earthenware Pot Mushroom Soup.
Despite the incomprehensible rituals in the recipe, Li Shuwen still followed them.
As a result, nothing magical happened.
At least Li Shuwen didn't notice.
As the ingredients were added one by one into the earthenware pot, a fragrant aroma soon began to waft out.
Li Shuwen clapped his hands, "Simmer for another half hour, and the mushroom soup will be ready."
When the mushroom soup was ready, Li Shuwen lifted the lid, and a rich aroma wafted out.
Even if it doesn't have any special effects, this mushroom soup is worth a try.
Li Shuwen served Shirona and himself a bowl of mushroom soup.
After drinking it, I could indeed feel a slight increase in strength.
But not many.
It did not achieve the effect mentioned in the recipe.
Cynthia sighed, "As expected, achieving the effect of combat energy essence using these ordinary ingredients is not as easy as I imagined."
Li Shuwen finished the soup in his bowl and planned to get himself another bowl.
Wait, where did all the mushroom soup go in the earthenware pot?
Could it be that some invisible Pokémon secretly drank all the soup?
Li Shuwen immediately activated his waveguide power, but still gained nothing.
Suddenly, Li Shuwen felt someone tap his shoulder.
What kind of Pokémon can block the perception of aura power?
Then, he felt his body filled with immense power.
This power gave Li Shuwen the feeling that he could kill Tauros with a single punch.
Looking at Cynthia on the side, she was already attacking the stones in the open space.
He picked up a stone and threw it into the woods.
Cynthia was also somewhat surprised, "I can't believe I threw the stone that far."
Li Shuwen asked curiously, "You were also touched by an unknown Pokémon, and then you felt your body filled with power?"
Cynthia shook her head. "I don't know, but this power came suddenly."
Looking at the empty earthenware pot, Cynthia stroked her chin and said, "So, this ritual is to summon a nature spirit that can enhance one's strength, and the giant earthenware pot mushroom soup is actually an offering to the nature spirit."
"We got the steps and order wrong in translating ancient texts."
That's certainly possible, but this kind of natural spirit should be some kind of invisible Pokémon.
What Pokémon can block the power of aura and also grant power?
"Cynthia, how about we try that Dragon's Breath Chili Grilled Meat again, which can enhance fire resistance and fire abilities?"
Cynthia nodded. "Okay."
This Dragon Breath Chili Grilled Meat was originally made with ingredients that most likely included fire-breathing dragons or Charizards.
Cynthia replaced it with the leg meat and tail of a monitor lizard.
However, Cynthia replaced the chili peppers with Pokémon ingredients.
Jalapeno, a two-headed chili pepper Pokémon of the Grass and Fire types.
The chili peppers in the recipe come from the red heads of the 'Hard Chili Pepper'.
To compensate for the lack of fire attribute energy.
After the Dragon's Breath Chili Roasted Meat was made, Li Shuwen and Shirona only took a small amount to taste it.
Spicy! Extremely spicy!
Upon consuming it, Li Shuwen actually exhaled a small mouthful of flame.
Unexpectedly, one day, Li Shuwen actually experienced firsthand what it felt like to breathe fire.
Only half of the Dragonfire Chili Grilled Meat disappeared; perhaps even the Pokémon behind it found it spicy?
Li Shuwen felt another tap on his shoulder, and then he felt a warm, comforting power coming from his stomach.
It couldn't help but open its mouth and spew out a dazzling burst of flames.
I felt that my oral temperature hadn't risen much, and the bloating in my stomach had subsided.
However, the body feels warm, which should be due to fire resistance.
The case is solved; the recipe did have an effect, but it wasn't very noticeable.
It's the power of the Pokémon behind it...
What would happen if they didn't eat it?
Having brought a lot of ingredients, Li Shuwen planned to try a third type of dish.
Sea bass soup!
A dish that allows people to breathe underwater and see ghosts.
The raw material is most likely the blackfish.
Replaced by Cynthia with regular bass, water-attribute materials and ghost-attribute materials.
After the sea bass soup was cooked, Li Shuwen and Shirona did not touch it.
They stared at the sea bass soup, which remained unchanged.
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Cynthia, let's turn around."
Although he couldn't sense the unknown Pokémon, the aura of the sea bass soup gradually disappeared from Li Shuwen's perception.
After the sea bass soup disappeared, Li Shuwen felt a tap on his shoulder again.
The ability to breathe underwater and see ghosts, as well as the ability to see ghosts, still appeared in him.
Originally, Li Shuwen guessed that the unknown Pokémon was Victini.
Bictini amplified the effects of the food they ate.
But even though they haven't eaten, this ability has still been bestowed upon them.
Isn't it a Victini?
Cynthia asked curiously, "Shuwen, do you know who the Nature Spirits are?"
Li Shuwen shook his head; he was completely baffled as well.
Right next to Li Shuwen, a Pokémon that looked like a star and a Pokémon with a red V on its head exchanged a glance, secretly smiled, and then disappeared into the void.
