 At this time, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if his energy was gradually draining.

  Although he did not know why this was happening, there was no mistaking it!

  He did not dare move, nor could he move!

  He did not even dare to activate [Enlightenment].

  The cyan-colored steam made Wei Xiao Bei feel as if it was alive yet not alive, but it was also as if a tiger watching him like prey.

  He even began feeling if there was something wrong with his perception.

  “Eh? What's happening?”

  A voice suddenly echoed.

  Ao Yan had woken up.

  He opened his eyes in a daze and looked toward Wei Xiao Bei.

  When he looked at the cyan-colored steam, he could not help but open his eyes and blurt out, “The aura of a Spiritual Treasure!”

  As his voice landed, Ao Yan impatiently stretched out his claws and caught the cyan-colored steam.

  Wei Xiao Bei used his [Response Pulse] to sense saliva dripping at the sides of Ao Yan's mouth.

  Following Ao Yan's movement, the cyan-colored steam's attention appeared to have moved from Wei Xiao Bei to Ao Yan.

  There was no doubt that the cyan-colored steam appeared to be afraid of Ao Yan.

  The Dragon claw descended in an instant as the cyan-colored steam tried to dodge. At the same time, Wei Xiao Bei felt danger descend. He did not dare hesitate and moved his legs, retreating backward as fast as lightning.

  However, the danger that he felt came from the black clouds in the sky.

  Without any signs, the black clouds in the sky struck down a thick arm of lightning.

  The lightning was not as fast as lightning in the Real World as this one could be seen by the naked eye.

  There was no doubt that this lightning's appearance made Ao Yan move faster, while the cyan-colored steam's attention had been completely dispersed.

  Wei Xiao Bei reacted instantly and looked at the cyan-colored steam.

  Activate Enlighentment!

 Name: Gas of Appealing Food (Spiritual Treasure)

 Description: This is an object that has a low probability of appearing after a person with unfathomable cooking skill creates a dish. The condition at which this object appears is to cook a large number of Immortal Quality dishes. When the energy of the Immortal Quality dishes condenses, it creates this Spiritual Treasure. 

 Effect 1: Extract Energy. This object can extract energy from creatures around it for its own use.

 Effect 2: ?????

 Effect 3: ?????

 Effect 4: ?????

 Effect 5: ?????

  ……

  Spiritual Treasure!

  So that was the case. This entire Wok of Ten Flavors Stew is all Immortal Quality!

  As he thought about this, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the Gas of Appealing Food while drooling.

  There was no doubt that having four out of five effects filled with question marks signified that it was absolutely extraordinary.

  However, it was very unfortunate.

  Wei Xiao Bei looked at the Dragon claws trying to catch the Gas and sighed.

  With Ao Yan there, it was impossible for him to obtain it.

  Naturally, if Ao Yan was not there, his energy might have already been drained by the Gas and only death would await him.

  However, even if Ao Yan wanted to catch it, it might not be possible in a short amount of time.

  Although the Gas could not escape a certain distance from the Dragon Scale Wok, it was still made of steam and was extremely fast. On the other hand, if Ao Yan had been careless, the Dragon claw might latch onto the Wok, thus slowing his speed.

  However, the Gas was still unable to escape in the end.

  The lightning from the black cloud once again appeared on top of the Dragon Scale Wok.

  Seeing the lightning appear, the Gas tried to escape even faster.

  However, this was useless.

  After the lightning appeared above the Wok, it had landed on the Gas.

  Boom!

  A loud boom echoed.

  When the lightning disappeared, the Gas was instantly decreased by more than 50%. The thick steam had thinned out a lot.

  Upon seeing this, Ao Yan did not hold back anymore as he used his claws to catch the Gas. After catching it, he immediately pulled it back and stuff it into his mouth.

  At this time, even if the Gas wanted to escape, it was too late. With a single gulp, the Gas disappeared into Ao Yan's mouth.

  Afterward, Ao Yan let out a satisfied moan.

  When Ao Yan swallowed the Gas, the black clouds in the air immediately dissipated.

  At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was quite open. He did not plan to make Ao Yan spit out the Gas. He immediately charged at the Dragon Scale Wok, looked at the stew, and frowned.

  At this time, the stew had completely turned white. Wei Xiao Bei dug out the snake meat and took a bite. After chewing a few times, he immediately spat it out.

  Colorless and tasteless!

  It must be said there was still a lot of nutrition contained inside, but it was completely colorless and tasteless!

  After using [Enlightenment] to take a look, he shook his head as the entire dish had turned into a normal object.

  At this point, he came to an understanding.

  Once the Gas of Appealing Food appeared, the energy inside the Ten Flavors Stew had been absorbed by it. From then, the entire wok of Immortal Quality food was turned to scrap.

  It could be said that everything was affected by karma.

  The benefits had all been taken by Ao Yan, but this did not mean that there were no benefits for him.

  At the time when he had successfully cooked the Ten Flavors Stew, he felt as though he had a small breakthrough in his cooking skill.

  It must be known that skills could not be improved with Evolution Points once they reached unfathomable. They would require sacrifice from other skills to level up.

  However, this did not mean that there was only one way to level up.

  Cooking excellent dishes was something that could increase his understanding of it.

  In simpler terms, after the [Cooking] skill reached unfathomable, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he was at a bottleneck. No matter what dish he cooked, he could not level it up.

  However, after cooking the Ten Flavors Stew and creating the Gas of Appealing Food, that bottleneck was quickly loosening.

  “Not bad. Truly not bad.”

  After Ao Yan ate the gas, he appeared as if he was enjoying a wonderful pleasure.

  It was only now that Ao Yan had come to and looked at Wei Xiao Bei with satisfaction.

  “Say it. If you have any requests, I will satisfy you as much as possible.”

  A trace of happiness flashed in Ao Yan's dragon eyes. There was no doubt that the Gas had given him a huge benefit. Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to ask for Wei Xiao Bei's request.

  It must be known that Ao Yan had the habits of a child. Whatever was his was his. Whatever was yours was also his. If his mood was not good, it would be impossible for him to do this.

  Hearing Ao Yan being generous, Wei Xiao Bei did not know what to ask for at that moment.

  Should I ask for Dragon Blood, Dragon Scales, or even some kind of treasure?

  This was inappropriate. Wei Xiao Bei was not an inexperienced person. When Ao Yan had used three Dragon Scales to refine the Wok, his expression was slightly bitter. It could be seen that his Blood, Scales, etc were viewed with great importance.

  If he asked for these, Ao Yan might just act dumb and refuse him.

  This was the privilege of a child.

  Should I ask him to remove the Dragon Soul on my forehead?

  However, even if the Dragon Soul was something that monitored him, it was still something that allowed him to control the Dragon Fire Cauldron's fire source. If he got rid of it, he would lose out severely.

  Moreover, the aura of the Fire Dragon that came from it had benefited him a lot.

  In short, it was something that had more benefits than disadvantages.

  Should I ask Ao Yan to pass all of his refining knowledge?

  This was also possible, but Wei Xiao Bei felt as if he was at a disadvantage for choosing it.

  Knowledge was something priceless, but passing it to others did not really cost much.

  After thinking a lot, he noticed that he did not know what to ask for.

  “Have you thought about it?”

  Ao Yan impatiently wanted to honor his promise to Wei Xiao Bei.

  Seeing Ao Yan's current appearance, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly understood. He immediately activated [Budging the Universe] without thinking.

  Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei originally had more than 800 Evolution Points. After entering the desert this time, he had gained some more Evolution Points. Otherwise, he would not have even been able to activate this skill.

  Activating [Budging the Universe] instantly consumed 1,000 Evolution Points, causing Wei Xiao Bei's Evolution Points to go to 0.

  However, following its activation, something mysterious and profound entered his mind. When the ability disappeared by itself, Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood what to do.

  “Is there a need for this between friends?”

  Wei Xiao Bei smiled at the waiting Ao Yan as he stored the Ten Flavors Stew into his storage bracelet.

  Although it was already turned to scrap, it still had its uses. He could use it as nutrition for some creatures.

  “What do you mean? Do you not want any benefits?”

  Ao Yan was slightly at a loss for words.

  As a Fire Dragon, he had not encountered many humans in his 400 years of living, all of them were greedy.

  In his mind, Wei Xiao Bei would surely be wild with joy after hearing his words and begin to list out many requests. Afterward, he would only need to give him something to deal with the situation.

  However, he never expected him to say this.

  Somewhere in his heart, Ao Yan had been slightly moved.

  What was a friend?

  Ao Yan knew the surface meaning of the words. In his 400 years of living, he had encountered those that worshipped his strength, those that peed their pants after encountering him, those that had meticulously curried favors, and those that attempted to obtain things from him. However, he had never encountered one that he could truly call a friend.

  After a while, Ao Yan could not help but sigh, “Okay. From now on, let out fates be intertwined with each other.”

  After sighing, Ao Yan did not say anything else. He only stared at the skies with a lax expression and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
