The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Immortal Meal
 

Huang Xiaolong’s decision to cook on the spot led to a lot of mockery, scorn, and criticism.

Initially, Huang Xiaolong spoke with such confidence that everyone thought he would bring out some miraculous treasure to challenge the Bian Family’s 24 three-striped elixir pills.

But…

Cooking!

“Um… I find that Master Long, is really quite hilarious~~” Zhou Mi murmured dreamily. “But even if he’s hilarious, he’s the most handsome of them all, cooking at an event where high-ranking officials gather…Pfft ~~ It’s killing me with laughter.”

“However, I think Master Long definitely has his own ideas… It can’t just be simple cooking. Wait… Master Long is putting the rice into that bowl… Could it be… Could it be… Is there something wrong with the bowl?” Miao Erfang speculated.

On the stage, three members of the Bian Family were ready to kick Huang Xiaolong off in a huff.

At this moment, Ma Chuxia spoke up. “Wait… let him cook.”

“Chairman Ma, what are you doing?” A member of the Bian family who had condensed 23 strands of True Qi sneered. “Could it be, Chairman Ma, that you also believe his cooked rice can compete with our Bian family’s elixir pills? That’s utterly absurd!”

“Let’s give it a try. Nothing is absolute.” For some reason, Ma Chuxia unconsciously held a bit of faith in Huang Xiaolong.

Perhaps because she had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s incredible Taoist skills in person. Or maybe because her keen eyes noticed something extraordinary about his bowl.

“Alright then… We’ll just have to wait and see. Hmph!” The member of the Bian Family reluctantly gave Ma Chuxia some respect.

As of then, Ma Chuxia had someone bring over an electric rice cooker, a power strip, and a bucket of spring water from the mountain.

Once everything was ready, Huang Xiaolong poured the rice grains from the bowl into the water, laughing as he washed the rice.

Ma Chuxia leaned over to look and only saw that the grains looked like normal, unremarkable pearl rice. She whispered, “I don’t know what you’re up to, but remember, as a cultivator, you should maintain your dignity. Losing face in such a situation will leave you with none.”

“Hehe, my little wife, don’t worry, wait till I cook the rice for you.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

“Don’t you dare call me your little wife again! I have no relation to you! And… about that night… That night… you… your insult… I, Ma Chuxia, will definitely make you pay ten fold, a hundred fold!” Ma Chuxia was horribly embarrassed.

He finished washing the rice.

Plugged in the cord into the nearby outlet, turned on the power, and started cooking.

Using the fast cook function of the rice cooker, the rice will be ready in about fifteen to twenty minutes.

After Huang Xiaolong pressed the “fast cook” button, he pulled up a chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and began to wait.

The entire venue fell silent, all eyes on the rice cooker on the stage. The scene was extremely bizarre.

The three Bian Family members looked so sullen they seemed ready to drip water. Their mission today had been to force Ma Chuxia to compromise and marry into the Bian Family, thereby possessing the Occult Society as a matter of course.

They hadn’t expected Cheng Yaojin to rush down the path and not only disrupt the Bian family’s plans, but also constantly provoke them.

At this point, the three Bian family members had formed the intention to kill Huang Xiaolong!

After fifteen minutes…

A puff of steam suddenly burst from the rice cooker.

The released steam was so rich that it painted quite an artistic painting.

Suddenly, an intense aroma of rice began to spread. In no time, this scent filled every inch of the surrounding air, and it did not dissipate!

The aroma! It was exquisite! It was hard to describe this aroma, but it certainly was one of the most intoxicating scents in the world. Moreover, the scent seemed to calm one’s soul, akin to standing in a temple and inhaling the sandalwood air that cleanses the heart.

“Ah~~ What is this smell? It’s so weird… why is it so enticing?”

“I… I suddenly feel so hungry!”

“Oh my god, just smelling this aroma, I can feel every pore on my body opening up… Ah~~ What is it! I want to eat!”

…

The Taoist priests and priestesses all around narrowed their eyes, their bellies growling with hunger. They were all salivating, unable to stop swallowing.

On stage, the core members of the Occult Society; Ma Chuxia, including the three Bian family members, were all entranced by the exotic fragrance, each with a somewhat fascinated expression.

“Hehe~~ Good thing, it’s really a treasure, my future meals are settled.” Huang Xiaolong patted the bowl in his hand.

In fact, the function of this magical artifact bowl is to transform ordinary mortal rice into spirit-filled Buddha rice or Immortal rice!

What is Buddha rice, Immortal rice?

The rice that was cooked was brimming with vitality, nourishing the body like a spiritual medicine. It could strengthen one’s physique, clear one’s spirit, and even heal some hidden ailments within the body. For those who practiced ancient martial arts, it was also beneficial. Regular consumption could refine the body and trigger a transformation, evolving into a physique beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The procedure was simple. Ordinary rice would be placed into a bowl, shaken a few times, and that was it.

However, this bowl could only transform 5 kilograms of ordinary rice into celestial rice per day, no more than that.

Ding~~~

A loud noise, almost cooked.

“Done, the rice is cooked.” Huang Xiaolong had a triumphant expression on his face as he had others bring over a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

“Hahaha ~~ I’ll have a taste first.” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t wait to open the lid of the rice cooker.

Boom~~~~!!

A large swath of fog that seemed celestial in nature billowed out, and the unique aroma of the rice continuously stimulated everyone’s taste buds. The scent caused everyone who smelled it to feel every cell in their body leap for joy.

At a glance, the cooked rice was round and plump, taking on a golden hue and shimmering with a golden luster.

This was no longer just rice; it seemed to have become a work of art, something people couldn’t bear to eat but only admire.

Huang Xiaolong scooped some rice into a bowl with a wooden spoon.

“Ah~~ I’m going to eat now.” Huang Xiaolong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and started eating.

He took a mouthful of rice and chewed it a few times. The sticky and sweet taste filled his mouth and body like floodwater.

Delicious! Absolutely delicious!

Moreover, after swallowing the rice, he felt warmth in his limbs and blood, and his True Qi began to circulate energetically on its own.

Amazing!

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong began wolfing down his food.

The room was silent, with everyone’s eyes fixed unwaveringly on Huang Xiaolong, their eyes gleaming with jealousy and anticipation.

Within a minute, Huang Xiaolong had finished a bowl of rice, not a single grain was left. He still wanted more.

At that moment, Ma Chuxia could not resist approaching, swallowing mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, “You… what kind of rice is this?”

“Hehe, my dear, this is what I call ‘Immortal Rice’. Eating ‘Immortal Rice’ is even more enjoyable than being an immortal. Also, if you eat this kind of rice regularly, it can even cure cancers and AIDS…” Huang Xiaolong wasn’t bragging; he was speaking factually.

“Give… give me a bowl of Immortal Rice.” Ma Chuxia could not contain her desire for the food, her appetite surging out of control.

For the first time in her life, she experienced such gnawing hunger. She wanted to taste a bowl of Immortal Rice right away!

Huang Xiaolong smiled, scooped a bowl of rice for Ma Chuxia, and passed it to her.

Ma Chuxia took the chopsticks, received the bowl, scooped a mouthful of rice, and put it into her delicate mouth.

Oh my!

Boom~~~~!!

The rich and fragrant taste punched through Ma Chuxia’s body!

At the same time, the True Qi within her body began to circulate at a fast pace, giving her a feeling of elation!

“So… so… so satisfying! So delicious! It’s really so delicious!” Ma Chuxia let out a touching sound.

Just at that moment!

A wave of nature’s spiritual energy, stirred by the True Qi within Ma Chuxia’s body, gathered above her head.

Immediately after, it poured into her body like a tidal wave.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Streams of luminous Qi, the True Qi, burst out from Ma Chuxia’s body.

There were 16 streams of True Qi released from her body.

She had a breakthrough!

Ma Chuxia’s cultivation of True Qi had indeed broken through! From having 15 streams of True Qi to now having 16 streams!
