I Can Extract Everything

Immortal Phoenix House is Ancient Dragon City's most famous and luxurious restaurant. Its name has even spread outside to several neighboring cities.

This restaurant is famous, not without reason. All the chefs who work in the kitchen are Spiritual Chefs, and the foods they serve are certainly not ordinary foods as they are all Spiritual Foods.

Therefore, their customers are also not ordinary customers. Most of them were people with thick wallets.

Immortal Phoenix House is a traditional four-part architecture restaurant with pavilions connected with small bridges above the running river. With the view of the mountains, it was comparable to a paradise.

Arrived at the front yard, Qin Yi seizing in the surroundings with curiosity.

The path was filled with different varieties of plants and colorful flowers, releasing an intoxicating fragrance. It was pleasing to the eyes and senses.

It truly is a luxurious place.

Take these plants as an example. When Qin Yi asked the system to extract them, they were not ordinary plants; they were Spirit Gathering Plants, Insect Repelling Plants, and Calm Fragrant Flowers.

Even though they were all only Rank 1 heaven and earth materials, they were all expensive items and not something that could be found anywhere.

The first floor is a large platform with no tables and chairs around it. Gao Peng led Qin Yi upstairs through the stairs.

"Oh, my brother, Gao Peng, you've finally come!"

It was a large and burly man. This man's face looked fierce and scary like a street thug, which was in stark contrast to the warm atmosphere of this place.

Qin Yi is a little suspicious, is this person even related to this restaurant?

His appearance is more suitable to appear in a tavern full of boorish men than in an expensive restaurant like this.

Qin Yi coughed secretly.

It's not good to judge a book by its cover.

"Brother Murong, sorry for the wait." Gao Peng said apologetically.

"Ha ha, don't worry. I also actually just arrived." Murong Qian Jun laughed hospitably, and then his eyes accidentally caught the figure behind Gao Peng.

"This is?" 

Gao Peng smiled and started to introduce his friend, "Brother Murong, I already told you beforehand about this friend of mine. He is Brother Qin, and we're here to celebrate him passing the Alchemist Apprentice Exam."

"Below Qin Yi. Greetings for the first time, Young Master Murong." Qin Yi clapped his hands politely.

"So it turned out to be Brother Qin. Since you are Brother Gao's friend, that means you are also my friend. Please just call me Brother Murong like how Brother Gao did. Moreover, you are now an Apprentice Alchemist. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

Although Murong Qian Jun looked bearish and scary, he was actually friendly towards his friends.

"Well, it's my pleasure to be friends with you, Brother Murong. Moreover, I'm the one taking advantage here. When I heard I could eat at the Immortal Phoenix House for free from Brother Gao's mouth, it was like a pie suddenly falling onto my head. I thought he was just joking, but he really brought me here." Qin Yi smiled awkwardly.

"Ha ha, don't worry, you really will eat for free here," Said Murong Qian Jun with a carefree laugh.

Then he invited the two to sit down, and then he continued to say, "I've never treated my friend in any special way, but I owe Brother Gao my life. Unfortunately, I have nothing else to pay except to let him eat for free at my family's restaurant."

"Brother Murong, jest. Do you know how many people are looking forward to a free meal at this place? Besides, I didn't really save you at that time, but I was just protecting myself from a dead and life situation. I just didn't expect that my self-saving action would yield such generous results." Gao Peng laughed awkwardly as his hands scratched his head.

After the introduction session was over, the three started chatting coolly to get them closer to each other.

Not long after, a waitress arrived at the three tables while bringing some food and drink menus.

"Young Master, Young Miss said that it is rare for Young Master to bring his friends here. Therefore, she has prepared some special dishes for you." The waitress said with a polite smile.

"My elder sister did?" Murong Qian Jun a bit was taken back. Looking at ten large plates with ten different dishes placed orderly on the table, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Isn't this too much?

"Thank you, Xiao Ji. You can withdraw!"

"As you bid, Young Master. Please just call me if the food is not enough."

After that, Xiao Ji retreated and returned to her work.

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this too much for three people?"

Gao Peng also agrees with Qin Yi.

He didn't mind eating this much, but he felt bad for Murong Qian Jun. After all, these dishes don't look cheap.

"Well, My elder sister made these dishes. You don't have to hesitate to eat them." Murong Qian Jun grinned at the two as he picked up the chopsticks on the table.

"Brother Murong, these are not ordinary foods..."

Gao Peng could faintly feel the spiritual energy leaking from the food.

"Of course, they are Rank 1 Spiritual Foods. My elder sister is a Master Spiritual Chef, making Rank 1 Spiritual Foods is easy for her. Therefore you don't have to feel bad about eating them." Murong Qian Jun explained while pinching a piece of meat from one of the plates on the table.

Qin Yi was astonished as his gaze scanned the food in front of him.

As an official member of the Secondary Professional Association, he naturally knew a thing or two about Spiritual Chefs.

A Spiritual Chef is almost the same as an Alchemist. However, their presentation was in the form of food, not pills. Moreover, they mainly use heaven and earth material as side dishes, while their main ingredient is beast meat.

Foods cooked by Spiritual Chefs were not much different from the pills that Alchemists concocted. It all depends on what kind of ingredients are involved in their presentation.

Even so, although the role of Spiritual Chefs is similar to that of Alchemists, Spiritual Chefs are not as popular as Alchemists.

The reason was quite simple; it was because the food they created couldn't help much in battle.

Moreover, cultivators can only consume Spiritual Foods at fixed times and places.

Unlike Alchemists, they could at least use pills or poison powder to harm the opponent, but what about the Spiritual Chef?

Throwing a plate of food at the opponent?

It's quite not right if you imagine it.

It's just wasting food.

Spiritual Chefs are a bunch of people who take pride in their creation. For them, wasting food is tantamount to insulting their creation.

Hence, this Secondary Profession became the most unpopular Secondary Profession among the five Secondary Professions.

Still, they are as demanding as Alchemist.

Murong Qian Jun chewed the meat in his mouth. After he swallowed it, his face immediately filled with joy and pleasure. He happily said, "Come on, don't hesitate..."

"Let me introduce these dishes to you. This one is Five Colorful Chicken Soup. It's made of a rare Rank 1 magical beast called Five Colorful Chicken. Although it can't improve your martial aptitude, it can increase your perception by a slight margin. "

"Increase perception?!" Both Qin Yi and Gao peng were astounded.

"Of course, it can only help you once; if you eat it twice or thrice, it won't have the slightest effect. What's more, it won't help you if your aptitude is already good enough." Murong Qian Jun added.

Amazing! Qin Yi exclaimed in his heart.

One of the advantages of having high-grade martial aptitude is a cultivator's understanding of practicing martial arts: the better the perception, the faster the understanding in mastering martial arts.

To think, a bowl of Five Colorful Chicken Soup could actually increase the cultivator's perception; it could be said that the chef who cooked it was superb!

Even though it could only increase a little, it was beneficial for cultivators who were born with low-grade martial aptitude.

Unfortunately, it might not be of much use to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi took a sip with a soup in his bowl. As soon as it entered his mouth, his eyes immediately widened up.

It's delicious!

Suddenly he felt like crying.

Ever since he entered the sect, he had never tasted such good food again. All he had eaten so far was dry bread and a bowl of water.

These past years he had lived the life of a monk.

Actually, there is a Divine Kitchen in the outer sect. But he never went there because he heard that Yang Kai's men dominated that place.

Moreover, the food provided there is only ordinary food. So, it's not worth going there if Qin Yi only ends up getting involved with a bunch of scum.

Qin Yi could also look for proper food in the city, but he never did it despite his abundant wealth.

That's because every time he visits the city, a buddha in his head keeps chanting, "Extract, extract, extract, extract..."

In the end, without Qin Yi realizing it, he had already spent his time walking around the city without pampering his stomach.
