Becoming a master started with manually rubbing the control panel.

Chapter 045 Six Dishes

Led by Shangguan Ling, Lin Bei toured the entire villa.

In addition to daily living facilities, this three-story villa is also equipped with a complete set of cultivation equipment.

From advanced meditation rooms and top-notch gyms to Qi and Blood cultivation rooms equipped with medicinal baths, all are first-class martial arts training facilities.

After reading it, Lin Bei had only four words left in his mind—it's so good to be rich.

Time flew by and it was noon.

Madam Shangguan personally cooked to entertain Lin Bei.

You're in for a treat today.

Shangguan Ling led Lin Bei to the dining table and sat him down. "My mother doesn't cook easily, but her monster dishes are absolutely amazing."

Lin Bei smiled and replied, "Then I'll have to give it a good try."

Not long after.

Madam Shangguan served the first dish.

A large, golden-yellow piece of exotic animal meat, weighing a good five or six pounds.

Shangguan Ling introduced, "This is the tenderloin of the bronze eighth-tier beast 'Golden-Backed Bull,' which tastes much better than ordinary beef. You should try it."

As she spoke, she cut off a piece with a knife and placed it on Lin Bei's plate.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lin Bei forked a piece of meat from the plate, brought it to his mouth, and took a bite.

The meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite into it, the juices burst in your mouth, releasing a rich aroma.

Followed by.

A powerful warm current erupted from my stomach, quickly sweeping through my entire body...

"Such powerful nutritional benefits!"

Lin Bei was secretly surprised.

It's no wonder it's flesh from an eighth-tier beast.

The meat I just ate was less than an ounce, but it released more energy than a whole bottle of basic nutritional supplement.

The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" is indeed true.

As Lin Bei was sighing, Madam Shangguan had already served the second dish.

A bowl of crystal-clear soup.

Some bright green herbs floated on the soup.

"This is white jade snake bone soup."

Madam Shangguan explained, "It's made by simmering the spine of the White Moon Silver Scale Snake, along with several other warming and nourishing medicinal herbs."

White Moon Silver Scale Serpent!

Lin Bei gasped inwardly. Another eighth-tier beast! This was outrageously extravagant.

"This soup is delicious; I drink it once a week."

Shangguan Ling stood up, ladled a bowl of soup for Lin Bei, and said expectantly, "Try it."

"OK."

Lin Bei picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The soup has a light and sweet flavor.

As soon as I drank it, a refreshing sensation rushed straight to the top of my head. My thoughts became much clearer and more focused.

"This soup is indeed delicious, and it also has the effect of nourishing the spirit."

Lin Bei commented.

"That's right, this soup really does nourish the spirit."

Shangguan Ling also took a sip, "And there are no side effects, so you can drink it every day."

Lin Bei nodded.

This is how the wealthy cultivate themselves.

The incredibly precious bronze-level eighth-tier beasts outside are merely a dish on the dining table.

The last dish was a plate of vibrant green vegetable salad.

It looks ordinary.

But Lin Bei had never seen the vegetables inside before.

"Jadeite Vegetable Platter"

Madam Shangguan sat opposite Lin Bei and introduced them to him, saying, "These vegetables come from the Emerald Alien, numbered D67, and contain special life energy. Martial artists who eat them can clear away negative states from their bodies, cure illnesses, and prolong their lives."

Lin Bei paused for a moment after hearing the last part.

"What's wrong?"

Madam Shangguan asked, "Is it not to your liking?"

Shangguan Ling also looked over.

"no."

Lin Bei quickly shook his head, "Auntie's cooking is excellent. These dishes are both delicious and nutritious. I just suddenly thought of my family."

Madam Shangguan looked at Lin Bei, her eyes thoughtful.

Then, she smiled slightly and said, "The jade vegetables can't be kept for long after thawing, so please try them quickly."

"it is good."

Lin Bei picked up his chopsticks, took a leaf that looked like an emerald, and put it in his mouth.

Crisp and refreshing, with a sweet, natural flavor.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sense of lightness in his body, as if every cell in his body was cheering with joy...

"It's definitely good stuff!"

Lin Bei thought to himself.

The value of this plate of jadeite vegetables is probably higher than the combined value of the previous two dishes.

He suppressed his thoughts and began to focus on eating.

The lunch was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

After the meal, Shangguan Ling took Lin Bei to the cultivation room to refine and absorb the nutrients and energy he had just received.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Bei walked out of the cultivation room and bid farewell to Madam Shangguan: "Auntie, thank you for your hospitality. I should go back now."

"Welcome to visit my home again next time."

Madam Shangguan rose to see him off, saying, "I will make arrangements for Master Luo. I will have Xiaoling contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Thank you for your help, Auntie."

"You and Mio are friends, this is nothing. Mio, why don't you drive her home?"

"Okay, Mom."

Twenty minutes later.

A silver-gray flying car descended from the sky and landed across the street from Haicheng No. 17 Primary School.

"That's fine, just leave it here."

Lin Bei unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to look at Shangguan Ling, and said, "You've really had a hard day, old classmate."

"You're welcome."

Shangguan Ling waved her hand casually, then pulled out a thermal bag from somewhere and stuffed it into Lin Bei's hand.

"Here, this is what my mom asked me to give you."

"This is?"

"You'll see when you open it."

Lin Bei unzipped the insulated bag, revealing a food storage container emitting cold air.

The box contained the jade-green vegetables they had eaten before.

……

"I'm back."

When Lin Bei returned home, only his mother, Gao Lan, was home; his father had gone out to work again.

"Are you hungry? There's some alien meat in the fridge, you can just heat it up and eat it."

"No need, I had a big lunch."

Lin Bei took the box of jade-green vegetables out of the insulated bag and placed it on the table. "I brought back a box of vegetable salad, Mom, come and try it."

Before getting off the bus, Shangguan Ling gave specific instructions.

These jade-like spiritual vegetables must be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise a large amount of their life essence will be lost.

"Vegetable salad?"

Gao Lan walked over, looked at the exquisite and beautiful vegetables in the food container that resembled jade, and exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of vegetables are these? How come they look so beautiful?"

"It was a gift from my classmate's mother."

Lin Bei didn't offer any further explanation, but urged, "Please try it quickly."

"What's the point of growing vegetables so beautifully if they still end up in our stomachs? It's such a waste."

Gao Lan muttered something to herself, then picked up a bright green leaf and popped it into her mouth.

"So crisp! So sweet!"

Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise as she ate:

"Wow, this food is so delicious!"

"Where did you buy it?"

"Son, ask your classmate, I'll buy some too another day."

"no problem."

Lin Bei chuckled inwardly and continued to urge, "These dishes can't be left out, you should eat them all quickly."

"Son, you eat too."

"I've already eaten."

In no time, Gao Lan had finished the entire box of jadeite vegetables.

Lin Bei noticed that his mother's sickly appearance was improving at a visible rate.

Her previously pale face regained some healthy color, and her eyes became clear and bright...

Gao Lan also noticed the changes in her body.

She raised her hand and touched her face. Her skin was much smoother, and even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes had faded. She looked as if she had become ten years younger.

Not only that.

The pain that had been afflicting her suddenly subsided by more than half, and she felt much lighter, as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

"Son, what kind of dish is this?"

Gao Lan realized that the box of vegetables her son brought back was definitely not ordinary.

"It was a gift from Shangguan Ling's mother; it's called Jade Spirit Vegetable."

Lin Bei stopped hiding it and told his mother the whole story about the origin of the jadeite vegetable.

"Oh, it's Mio. I didn't know her family was so rich."

Gao Lan sighed.

She still remembered Shangguan Ling, after all, he had been her son's deskmate for six years in elementary school.

10 PM.

Lin Qiqiang returned from outside, looking travel-worn.

He was startled to see his wife, who suddenly looked more than ten years younger and radiant.

"Wife, what kind of evil magic did you use?"
