Chapter 121: Extracting Everything That's Of Value!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The four Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas resembled a typical premature infant. They looked sickly and weak.
The moment the vat of blood entered the pond, it immediately dyed the pond a light blue color. The temperature of the pond also plummeted, and tangible icy waves began to rise off the water surface.
The lethargic Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas immediately became lively as they gulped down the blood of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's blood along with the lake water with gusto. After absorbing the blood into its body, they would spit out the rest of the water.
Bei Feng paced about the mini pond like an anxious father as he watched the Frigid Snowy Arowanas with worry. After about half an hour, their conditions looked much improved and Bei Feng was finally able to relax.
Eight of the 20 vats had been filled with blood from the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King, but one of them had already been emptied into the temporary mini-pond!
Bei Feng returned to the yard and continued working on the body of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King until 8 pm before he managed to fully cut out all the meat. The body of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was separated into large chunks of meat and stored in the basement.
As for the Variant Giant Salamander, it was naturally made to surrender its position to the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King. Despite gorging on it for such a long time, there was still over half of the Variant Giant Salamander remaining.
"In the past, I was worried that there would not be enough to eat. But now, I'm worried about not being able to finish eating it. Looks like I'll have to find some people to share the burden with me..."
Bei Feng thought bitterly. Now that he had the Grade 5 Variant Demonic Beast with him, this lowly Variant Giant Salamander was not within his sights anymore.
The 5 meter wide and three meter tall basement was filled to the brim with Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King blood and meat. Only the head of the creature remained outside. There was simply no way he could bring that huge fish head into the basement.
The tens of dead Grade 1 and Grade 2 Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas were also sealed in a layer of ice with Extreme Arctic Frost.
Seeing the packed basement, Bei Feng could not help but sigh as a thought flashed through his head. 'It'll be good if I can get a spatial ring or something one day...'
As for the remaining fish bones, he sprinkled some water over them, and froze them with Extreme Arctic Frost. Every piece of bone was as thick as an adult's thigh!
The thickest part of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's bone was it's backbone. It was around 1 meter thick and was extremely hard, even harder than the scales! Every section was linked together into an extremely long backbone.
He had also managed to obtain tens of fish tendons, each as thick as a thumb and extremely sturdy. Especially the light pink piece of tendon on the back of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's head. It was only as thick as a piece of chopstick, but it was extremely flexible and strong, such that even a strike from Extreme Arctic Frost was not able to do anything to it!
Even the intestines of the fish were not spared. Bei Feng sealed the intestines and organs in separate wine vats. He did not intend to consume those, but he didn't plan to waste them. Those intestines and organs also contained a lot of ling Qi and could be used to feed Insatiable and Black Hole.
He could even use it as fertilizer when they rotted away. Every part of this Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was put to use and completely milked of its value!
Afraid that the intestines and organs would start to smell, Bei Feng even moved it to an empty space about a hundred meters outside of the mansion.
"I've busied myself for an entire day, so it should be time to at least see what this Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King tastes like!"
Bei Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rubbed his hands in glee.
He took out the medicinal cauldron, poured in some water and put 2 jin of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat into it. Then, he put the wok lid over the cauldron to prevent the smoke from getting to the food and placed a bunch of firewood under the cauldron.
In no time, a hearty fire roared around the medicinal cauldron. Perhaps it was a misconception, but the phantom phenomenon around the cauldron seemed to be more lively this time.
Waves of heat roiled about and the dancing flames could be seen from far away.
Bei Feng did not dare to continue adding firewood, afraid that he would accidentally set the mansion on fire!
The bigger the fire was, the more lively the phantom illusions became. It was like the illusions were the fire spirits in the flames, swimming about within every inch of the cauldron!
After an hour, the fire finally began to burn lower. However, the large cauldron actually began to levitate lightly!
"Hong!"
A ray of green and a ray of icy blue burst into the sky!
The two rays of light shot one zhang into the sky. The icy blue one was as thick as an adult's fist, while the green one was as thick as an infant's fist!
An amazing fragrance difficult to describe with words filled the area, spreading out as far as 300 meters away in all directions! The fragrance was like that of the legendary Ginseng Fruit which had the ability to shock a person's spirit and reinvigorate their minds with just a sniff!
"Gu! Gu!"
Bei Feng grabbed his stomach as a sudden hunger seized him. This fragrance caused all the cells in his body to begin crying out at once, sending a message of extreme hunger to him!
'So the rays that came out of the cauldron actually had direct relations to the kind of ingredients? Apart from that, the type of flames should have some kind of influence as well. The greater the flames, the more phantom illusions would appear?'
Bei Feng thought with interest. The fire this time was bigger than usual, and the phantom figures on the cauldron also seemed to have become more lively, as if they had come alive!
'The fire used for refining medicine would definitely not be ordinary fire. The kind of fire specific for refining each kind of pill should be something that cannot be absent. Only then, would the properties in each herb and medicine be refined to its maximum effect. Although I'm not refining any medicine now, this discovery can also be considered as a way to achieve the same results with a different method!'
Bei Feng noted this point down in his heart. He decided to test the theory out no matter what the next time!
Using Extreme Arctic Frost, Bei Feng lightly pushed the firewood to the side. The floor had been charred black, and even exhibited signs of cracking.
He poured some water on it, which caused some sizzling sounds to appear.
It was unknown what kinds of material this cauldron was made of, but such a strong fire only caused the bottom of the cauldron to feel slightly warm to the touch. In contrast, the soup inside the cauldron was bubbling crazily, as though all the heat had been sucked into the belly of the cauldron.
Bei Feng lifted the cauldron up and brought it to the side. The firewood which had not burned out remained smoldering, sending faint heat waves into the air.
Bei Feng directly poured a bucket of water over the fire, inducing a large plume of smoke to rise out of it. Only after three buckets of water was the fire finally extinguished.
The amount of water he had poured into the cauldron initially was also not less by much. The only difference was that it used to be merely clear water, but was now a milky white soup. The soup was as viscous as actual milk, and the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat floated about within it.
Bei Feng looked at the piece of meat which remained the exact same shade of pink with some puzzlement. "Is this cooked or not?"
He scooped some of the milky white soup into a bowl, blew on it to cool it down and took a sip.
"Hong!"
An inaudible boom exploded in Bei Feng's head, like a clap of thunder on a clear summer day!
The soup was clearly bubbling and boiling crazily, but it was actually shockingly cold when it entered his mouth! It was like even his soul was being frozen!
"Awesome!"
Bei Feng released a chilly breath and shivered involuntarily. After being exposed to extreme cold, a warm and fuzzy feeling appeared.
It was like the welcoming rays of the sun shining over a winter land. The freezing feeling slowly melted away, and his spirit felt like it had gone through a round of refreshment!
An immense amount of energy spread from the soup into his stomach, causing his entire body to shiver slightly as though he had received a small electric shock!
The countless cells within his body were extremely lively, as though they were cheering as they gobbled this influx of energy greedily.
Such a feeling already exceeded the realms of taste. His entire body was immersed in the sensation, slowly enjoying the marvelous feeling!
Bei Feng could not be bothered about the matter of the meat being cooked or not at this point. He grabbed the meat with his chopsticks and bit down on it.
"F*ck, so it's really not cooked!"
Bei Feng had taken a bite and immediately realized that only a third of the surface of the meat had been cooked. The deeper parts of the meat were still raw.
Although the color was exactly the same, Bei Feng could still taste the difference.
But, while it was not cooked, the meat did not taste bad at all. What replaced the expected stale meaty smell was a light fragrance.
Bei Feng was completely speechless. Such a big fire was actually unable to cook the meat!
Actually, Bei Feng also understood the reason behind this. Although the fire was big and seemed impressive, its temperature was too low. At this point, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only try to think of another method in the future.
Right now, he might as well make some sauce and eat it like sashimi!
