My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 888

Chapter 888: Chapter 888 Spiritual Cuisine

Meanwhile, inside her Territory Space, Kisha was carefully slicing a spiritual cabbage that emitted a soft, golden glow. Since 008 hadn’t provided much detailed information about the ’Spiritual Heavenly Chef’ class, Kisha could only rely on instinct and experimentation.

She planned to make stir-fried pork with cabbage, using ingredients that were all spiritually enhanced. The pork, in particular, came from a pig raised within the Territory, an animal now categorized as a spiritual beast.

Mike had recently discovered that some of the livestock in the Territory were beginning to exhibit signs of spiritual energy. He had noticed a change in the animal byproducts, milk, eggs, and other farm goods had become richer in taste and were imbued with traces of spiritual energy.

Curious, he sent a sample batch to Kisha for analysis, and she confirmed it: the spiritual milk not only had a superior flavor, but also carried beneficial effects when consumed.

However, not all the animals were showing such advancements. Only about ten percent of the population had begun producing spiritual byproducts, an indication that those specific animals had evolved into spiritual creatures.

To confirm this theory, Kisha asked Mike to slaughter one of the spiritually awakened pigs for cooking, since they had more than enough of them to spare for testing.

Right now, she was busy preparing the ingredients. She had already sliced the pork into thin strips and was marinating them carefully, knowing that the flavors would deepen and become richer once exposed to the flame. The cabbage, however, was massive, nearly the size of a basketball, so shredding it by hand took considerable time and effort.

008 had warned her that a ’Spiritual Heavenly Chef’ must never rely on machines like food processors or shredders when handling spiritual ingredients.

Why?

The reason was surprisingly simple: during preparation, the chef must continuously imbue spiritual energy into the ingredients. Using machines would break this delicate process, causing the spiritual energy within the ingredients to scatter and dissipate, leading to a failed dish.

Looking back, it became clear that the first time Kisha had successfully cooked a spiritual cuisine, it had been beginner’s luck. But now, with intention and understanding, she was working to earn that success the proper way.

Right now, Kisha was fully focused on shredding the spiritual cabbage, carefully channeling her spiritual energy through her hands and into the knife. She coated the blade with a steady flow of energy to avoid accidentally dispersing the cabbage’s innate spiritual essence.

A single mistake in this step could affect the harmony of the dish, and worse, could even cause the final product to explode due to an imbalance of energies.

But Kisha had long started preparing for this moment, even before she began cooking.

Knowing that every component mattered, she took the time to learn how to create raw ingredients from scratch, like soy sauce. Fortunately, she had access to awakened ability users with artisan-type talents. When she approached them for guidance, they generously shared the complete process without holding back any details.

Thanks to the unique properties of her territory, where time passed ten times faster than in the outside world, fermentation that would have taken months was significantly sped up. She encountered her fair share of failures, but out of five large fermentation jars, she managed to successfully produce at least one jar of high-quality soy sauce.

Kisha had realized early on that if she was going to cook a spiritual cuisine, then every ingredient had to have spiritual properties as well. Anything less could diminish the dish’s additional effect or even ruin it entirely. Only after gathering everything she needed, ingredients, tools, and condiments, did she finally begin the process of cooking with full confidence.

After finishing the shredding, Kisha washed the cabbage once more, then set it aside. She turned her attention to the wok, ready to begin cooking, but instead of using a regular flame, she decided to experiment.

This time, she summoned her ’Spiritual Silver Flame.’

With it, she could precisely control the heat while preserving the spiritual energy within the ingredients. But more than that, she had a theory she wanted to test: that by using her spiritual flame, she could draw in ambient spiritual energy from the surrounding environment and infuse it into the dish.

It was unproven, purely theoretical, but the idea intrigued her. If it worked, it could significantly enhance the potency and effect of the spiritual cuisine.

And even if it didn’t, it was still worth the attempt.

After heating up the wok, Kisha added a generous swirl of oil. So far, everything seemed stable, no disruptions, no unexpected reactions, so she continued with confidence.
