The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 100: Gastric Marrow True Essence - Samadhi True Flame


Lin Guang rubbed his brow, coming to his senses.

He raised his left hand, his five fingers making a grasping motion as if drawing something towards him. Then he snapped his fingers crisply, and a hint of crimson flame flickered at his fingertips. Upon hearing the sound, Vishdair turned his head, but then disinterestedly returned his gaze to the television.

If only Vishdair had read even a little bit about such matters, he would know how incredible this was. You should know that this wasn't in a training room filled with Fire Attribute Ether or a volcano. For a Low Tier Spirit Master to easily make Ether manifest such a "trait" was exceedingly difficult.

In fact, it wasn't solely the effect of Fire Attribute Ether.

This so-called Samadhi True Fire, which the system had pilfered from who knows where and processed locally, was intended for cooking, but in a way, it met the traditional definition of Samadhi True Fire, consisting of the upper, middle, and lower Samadhi, with the most important, dominant upper Samadhi being [Heart Fire], or [Divine Fire].

In other words...

This is a special flame that mainly derives from Lin Guang's Spiritual Power, using Physical Strength as auxiliary support, Fire Attribute Ether as fuel, and through an extraordinarily complex Technique, is ignited and condensed.

According to in-game experience, [Gastric Marrow True Essence - Samadhi True Flame] could not only entirely remove impurities from ingredients, causing a marvelous transformation in the taste and texture, but the resulting dish could also have some special effects. It's a quite advanced Fire Control Technique.

And in reality, the power and effect of this skill depends specifically on his three core Talents and his own Tier, filled with flexibility.

Much like the [Heaven Mending Record·Corrective Meridian Opening Technique], [Gastric Marrow True Essence - Samadhi True Flame] offers a formula-like Technique.

Even though the inheritance information was all focused on cooking scenes, nobody said the fire could only be used for cooking.

Once he got familiar with this skill, he might even be able to bolster Vishdair during battles or integrate it with his own Skills, although the thought sounded complex, it wasn't without feasibility.

Treating enemies as ingredients to burn, besides its inherent power, might also have the effect of dispelling opponents' buffs, whereas using it on allies, combined with the [Celestial Doctor] profession's Skills, might maximize the effect of dispelling debuffs.

...But that's for the future.

Lin Guang isn't some battle maniac who, right after a big fight, would want to pull Vishdair to learn new Skills.

What he wants to do now is to try how delicious those dishes made with Samadhi True Fire are!

Although Lin Guang's right hand was bandaged, the medicine from Dr. Kaiwen seemed to have a miraculous effect, as after a good night's sleep it didn't hurt that much anymore.

More complex dishes might be a challenge, but lazy meals or simple desserts shouldn't be a problem.

Speaking of lazy meals, Lin Guang suddenly remembered that little yellow fox. Maybe it was because its appearance and fur color didn't match any known type of Fox Spirit Beast he recognized.

More than a month and a half had passed since that fleeting glimpse, the little fox had eaten quite a few eggs, but Lin Guang hadn't seen it even once. It seemed to still hold quite a bit of caution, causing his craving for fluffiness to act up, contemplating more than once that if he caught it, he'd give it a good bath using his Hand of Full Mastery, then bury his face in its body for a good whiff.

Maybe he should try to recreate that later?

In the game, Lin Guang once triggered the affinity of the Divine Beast "Dog of Virtue" with the golden talent "Leader of the Wolf Pack" he gained from SL farming, obtaining insights on raising canine Spirit Beasts.

Though the insights weren't mentioned in the game, the secret recipe acquired from a certain Secret Realm in this quest chain was something Lin Guang kept deep in his mind.

Food made from this recipe had strong appeal to canine Spirit Beasts, practically the catnip of the dog world—everyone knows that foxes are a type of canine Spirit Beast.

If the most advanced version of this could be made, even the "Dog of Virtue" might find itself irresistibly controlled, locked in an internal struggle for who knows how long.

He knew the ingredients but wasn't clear on the exact proportions, so he needed to experiment a bit.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Guang took out his phone, not too adept with his left hand, he placed an order on an app, considering distance and time, he didn't choose the municipal Spirit Beast Mall, cobbling together the materials for the most basic recipe.

After ordering, Lin Guang remembered something he had always forgotten, which was returning the Skill Crystal belonging to President Rote.

Two weeks ago after clearing the Illusion Realm, that Skill Crystal had completely burned out, useless to keep, but Lin Guang was busy learning the Two-Star Spirit Pattern [Barrier], and kept forgetting about it.

So, Lin Guang opened a certain green communication software, searched for "courier" in the mini-programs inside, casually clicked into one called "Dexas Logistics," and started filling out the information. The courier staff would arrive in a little over an hour.

Thirty minutes later, Lin Guang got up, grabbed a few small snacks from the cabinet at the door, and headed out.

Shortly after, the gold-label employee "Huh Huh" arrived on time with a white plastic bag in its beak, proudly raising its little head. After swallowing the small snacks, it emitted a comfortable "hoo-hoo" sound and flew away.

Lin Guang carried the materials into the kitchen, took them out, two three-pound level 7 Fire Pattern Fish (green excellent level Spirit Beast, already cleaned), a bag of numb carrots and Milk Green Peppers, a small packet of fresh red Crystal Orchid petals, and quite a bit of miscellaneous ingredients.

The name of this dish is "Spicy and Numbing Dog's Delight Grilled Fire Pattern Fish."

Ignoring the name that might make one wonder if the setting is wrong, it's merely grilled fish, not a complicated process, also why Lin Guang recalled it when thinking of "lazy meals."

As everyone knows, regular canine animals can't tolerate spicy seasonings.

Even though canine Spirit Beasts aren't so delicate, Sichuan pepper and chili, which aren't part of the natural diet for non-fire elements, surely aren't in their typical food preferences.

But this recipe takes the opposite approach from this perspective.

The just-right touch of spice and numbness might instead give a protagonist canine Spirit Beast novel taste experiences, plus with milk as a buffer, it shouldn't be overly stimulating.

The only slight issue is Lin Guang didn't have the exact seasoning ratios, having to figure it out on his own. He feared accidentally adding too much of something, possibly making the canine Spirit Beast faint from its sensitive sense of smell.

However, as the true Zhen Sheng, who couldn't also tolerate spiciness, this should be less of a concern.

"Dinner's fish?" Vishdair craned his neck from the kitchen, noticing Lin Guang's bandaged right hand, then at the potato chips in his own grasp, hesitated, swallowed the chips, and licked the spices off his fingers with a red tongue, "Want me to help out?"
