Chapter 1349: Assassin
With perception reaching 12.9, a value nearly 13 times that of an ordinary person, Jason's sensitivity to his surroundings far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Especially regarding sensitivity to 'food.'
Just now, when he turned around, a faint 'food' aroma appeared near Cui Longwang.
Although the 'food' aroma was faint, it was pure enough.
Apparently, he had just ingested the 'Secret Medicine.'
Jason was surprised by this, but he didn't mind.
He simply believed this was a member of the 'Si Hai Bang.'
Although the 'Secret Medicine' grade is precious, that 'Big Boss' Cui Longwang was not stingy with rewards. At least, besides Jason having previously received two 'Creation Pills' as payment, in all these days, he had also seen a member receive such a reward.
That person was also an acquaintance.
In Cui Longwang's plan to eliminate traitors, Xu Dashan also played a significant role.
Therefore, he was rewarded with a 'Creation Pill.'
Originally old and frail, with old injuries, Xu Dashan relied on this 'Creation Pill' to directly break through the shackles of 'Bone Tempering' and enter the 'Skin Training' level.
Perhaps he would never be able to condense 'Qi-Blood' in his life, but for Xu Dashan, it was enough.
At least, Xu Dashan himself was very satisfied.
Every day, he was all smiles.
Of course, when Jason looked at Xu Dashan, his expression was strange.
Because Jason could clearly feel that Xu Dashan had not fully digested the potency of the 'Creation Pill,' having absorbed only less than thirty percent, while the rest disappeared with the body's metabolism.
Common people could not absorb the potency one hundred percent like him. This was something Jason had already speculated before.
When Dou Bao consumed the 'Nourishing Essence Pill,' there was also a similar feeling of overflow, but it was very slight.
It wasn't until Xu Dashan that Jason confirmed it.
Waste.
What a pity.
Jason couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
And, he had to suppress his own appetite.
Naturally, his gaze was strange.
And under such a strange gaze, Xu Dashan shivered.
Old but shrewd.
Xu Dashan didn't know what happened, but he always felt that lingering under Jason's watch was extremely dangerous. Thus, when Cui Longwang said there was something to do, he volunteered to leave the 'Si Hai Bang.'
Thinking of Xu Dashan's appearance when leaving, wanting to say goodbye, yet hesitant, not saying goodbye, yet going against his own conscience, Jason couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Why does the owner seem so happy?"
Dou Bao, who was washing vegetables, looked up and saw Jason's smile.
"I just thought of Mr. Xu's parting words."
Jason admitted frankly.
"Mr. Xu's parting words? Was it to bring you good food from the 'Northern Capital'?"
Dou Bao suddenly thought of something and immediately smiled too.
"It's roast duck, donkey rolls, pea cakes, almond tofu, braised intestines, sliced lung, fried liver, soybean juice, deep-fried balls, stewed pig's knuckles, and sauced pig trotters."
Jason emphasized.
'Food' shouldn't be generalized.
They must be discussed in detail.
"Right, right, you're completely right."
Dou Bao wouldn't argue with Jason, who was fussy over such things.
She would only think her master is adorable.
Wiping her hands, Dou Bao got up and brought out a jar from the room. The sweet and sour aroma immediately caught Jason's attention.
"I brewed some sour plum soup last night. Master, you should chill it."
Dou Bao said.
"Alrighty."
Jason immediately raised his hand and placed it on the jar.
Instantly, the room temperature sour plum soup turned into chilled sour plum soup.
Jason and Dou Bao each took a bowl, sipping sour plum soup.
In a place like 'Fragrance City' where the heat is intense, it was truly comfortable, extremely pleasant.
"Indeed, Martial Arts comes from life!"
"Perhaps martial artists who created such techniques initially just wanted convenient cold drinks in summer?"
"The creator of the 'Fierce Fire Palm' might have just loved grilled meat."
Jason joked with squinted eyes.
He, of course, knew this was impossible.
But as a 'gourmet,' he naturally needed the romance of a 'gourmet.'
However, most people couldn't understand such romance.
But Dou Bao understood!
"Yeah, like the 'Tendon Separating Bone Dislocating Hand' is perfect for cutting vegetables."
"'Coagulating Blood Claw' is top-notch for making blood tofu."
Dou Bao nodded repeatedly.
With the permission of Cui Longwang and the acquiescence of Cui Long Girl, Dou Bao also had the right to enter the 'Library.'
Like Jason, Dou Bao constantly browsed these heritage items.
Although none of them were 'True Skill,' Dou Bao's vision rapidly increased, making her more adept at cooking.
"Exactly!"
Jason nodded with a smile, then paused and said, "Shall we have spicy blood stew tonight?"
"Sure."
Dou Bao immediately agreed.
Cooking for Jason was her happiest thing.
As for even greater happiness?
Jason directly 'ordering' a dish of course.
But such happiness was soon interrupted.
Bang, bang bang!
Miss Hong Xiu knocked on the courtyard door.
Dou Bao frowned as she opened the door.
In front of her, Miss Hong Xiu had a serious face, a demeanor Dou Bao had never seen from her before.
However, Dou Bao didn't ask.
She knew the person in front of her was here to see her master.
Immediately, she moved aside to let her in.
