The journey this time was very smooth, and the four of them soon found the ruins. It was also a city, but the four of them did not search for items because it was a ruin that had been swept by the Heavenly Spirits Clan. Otherwise, there would not be such clear coordinates. Before coming, Li Ran and the others knew that this place was no longer of value, but it was still a good place to rest.
The few of them found an empty house and went in. The room was empty, and there was nothing in it. Guo Shier smiled and said, "They really plundered it clean. Nothing was left."
Sershilin said, "That's for sure. Anything here is very valuable outside, especially for a large race like the Heavenly Spirits Clan, because these are the items left behind by their ancestors. Everything is meaningful to them, and every item is the same. They come here for different purposes than other races. For example, we are only interested in precious and valuable items, and we don't want anything else."
A word popped up in Guo Shier's mind: Antiques. Perhaps these items were valuable antiques to the Heavenly Spirits Clan.
Li Ran waved his hand, and a gust of wind appeared, sweeping away all the dust in the room. He then sat down cross-legged and said with a smile, "Twelfth, it's been a long time since I've had your rune food. Make some for me. Haha, I've been so busy traveling all these years that I haven't had a chance to have a proper rune food.
Qi Wuzhen also knew how delicious Guo Shier's rune food was. She raised her hand and said, "I agree, Shier, cook more delicious food." At this time, she became a cute girl again and said, "Also, also … take out the wine you brewed. I want the best!"
Sershilin was puzzled and asked, "What's a rune food?"
Li Ran said, "It's a special food made by the professionals of our Rune Race. Well, you'll know when you eat it."
Guo Shier said with a smile, "I've almost forgotten the taste of rune food. In addition to flatbread, I've eaten all kinds of braised meat and dried meat. I've long been tired of it. Haha, that's good. I still have a lot of fresh meat." As for vegetables and fruits, there were countless in the secret realm of the altar. They were usually collected and planted in the secret realm and managed by A Handsome Old Man. Many mature edible plants were pickled by A Handsome Old Man into all kinds of salted vegetables and dried fruits, so he had a large number of ingredients.
As for wine, there was a super good water spirit spring in the secret realm of Guo Shier's altar. It was countless times better than the best wine he had seen in his previous life. In addition, A Handsome Old Man had added water runes to the wine. The brewed wine was stored in a dark place in the secret realm, which was the best place for fermentation, making the wine even better.
After many years of fermentation, with just a little blending, it would become a unique wine. Of course, the taste of the raw wine was absolutely unbeatable, but it was a waste to drink it directly. A Handsome Old Man would sometimes blend some wine and put it in a large storage room. It would take a while to settle, but he had plenty of time.
Guo Shier took out four talisman bottles containing the brewed and blended white wine. He said, "One bottle for each person. Each bottle is about 15 jin." The special feature of the talisman bottle was that it had a slightly larger space. It would not be filled with a jin of wine, but between 30 to 100 jin of wine.
Qi Wuzhen picked up a bottle of wine and gently wiped the mouth of the bottle with his finger. He removed the sealing runes so that he could drink it. Guo Shier handed a bottle to Sershilin and wiped the runes off the mouth. Otherwise, Sershilin would not be able to drink the wine in the bottle. She would not remove the runes on the mouth of the bottle.
Sershilin hesitated for a moment, but she was soon defeated by curiosity. Imitating Qi Wuzhen, she raised the bottle and drank a mouthful of wine. As soon as the wine entered her mouth, she was stunned. After a while, she said, "This … this … what's so good about it?"
Qi Wuzhen smiled and said, "Drink more and you'll know."
Cirlyn stupidly gulped it down, gulping it down a few mouthfuls. Her physique was different from ordinary people. Although the white wine was a little spicy, she did not mind. After gulping down seven or eight mouthfuls, she was still puzzled because she did not feel anything.
Guo Shier shook his head and said, "You're wasting my good wine."
Li Ran laughed. People of different races were different. Not all races would fall in love with wine. Moreover, drinking wine was a gradual addiction. Few people would like the taste of wine even if it was good wine.
A warm current slid into her stomach, and Sershilin felt a little dizzy. She had drunk too fiercely, almost finishing a bottle in a few gulps. She said, "Why do I feel a little dizzy?"
Guo Shier said unhappily, "Of course you will feel dizzy if you drink like this. Wait for a while. Wait for me to cook the talisman food. You can eat and drink at the same time."
Sershilin still did not understand why she would feel dizzy after drinking, but she was very obedient. She immediately put down the bottle and said, "Oh … okay."
Guo Shier took out the special kitchen utensils. There were all kinds of clay pots and wok. When A Handsome Old Man had nothing to do, he had made a lot of kitchen utensils and enchanted them with runes. He had done it because he thought it was fun. Guo Shier thought it was good, so he kept it. These kitchen utensils were much better than the original ones. When this set of kitchen utensils was taken out, even Li Ran showed a surprised expression. It was the first time he had seen runes enchanted on kitchen utensils.
Li Ran laughed and said, "You're about to become a chef. Not to mention other things, this set of kitchen utensils is very powerful!"
Guo Shier said, "Of course, it's a must!"
Frying, frying, cooking, and deep frying, Guo Shier was proficient in all of them. With the craftsmanship of his previous life and the unique techniques of the talisman profession, his culinary skills had reached a superb level. If he returned to Earth at this time, he believed that he would definitely be the world's top chef.
Because the kitchen utensils were enchanted with runes, Guo Shier's cooking speed was extremely fast. In a short while, a table of delicious dishes was cooked.
Guo Shier did not cook any special dishes. In the eyes of Earthlings, this was just a table of home-cooked dishes. The difference was that the dishes and meat were not of the species found on Earth. In addition, the amount was astonishing. A portion of braised pork weighed more than 50 kilograms, and a portion of sweet and sour spare ribs weighed five or six kilograms. A large basin of spare ribs looked like a large pile, but in fact, there were only a few of them.
There were also a lot of stir-fried vegetables and several pots of thick soup. It was a very sumptuous table of dishes. Guo Shier specially cooked a pot of rice and steamed a pot of meat buns.
Guo Shier said to Sershilin, "Please have a taste of the special talisman food of our talisman profession."
In fact, these dishes were already very different from talisman food. They were somewhat similar to the dishes Guo Shier cooked on Earth in his previous life, but the taste was a hundred times better than in his previous life. This was because Guo Shier's ingredients were very good, and it was impossible to have such top-notch ingredients in his previous life.
Among the four of them, only Sershilin had never eaten talisman food before. The others had eaten it countless times, so Guo Shier introduced it to Sershilin.
Sershilin was rather flattered and asked, "Can I eat it like this?" As she said that, she reached out to grab it. Guo Shier hurriedly said, "Wait." He handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, "Use this to eat."
Li Ran could not help but say with a smile, "Forget it, it's better to give her a knife and spoon. Otherwise, she won't be able to eat it."
Sershilin looked at Guo Shier and then at Li Ran, at a loss. "This … Can't I use my hands to grab it?" She usually used a knife to eat because it was all meat, and most of it was roasted. She rarely used a pot to cook. Even if she used a large pot to cook, she would put large pieces of meat into the pot and cook them before cutting them with a knife. It was very normal to use her hands to grab it, so when she saw such exquisite food, she did not know what to do. The food emitted an extremely tempting fragrance, and she did not need to think to know that it must be very delicious.
Sershilin finally ate her first piece of braised meat, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She had never eaten such delicious meat in her life, and she was completely subdued. Every dish surprised her. Very soon, Sershilin threw away the knife and spoon and directly used her hands to grab the food, because this was the fastest and easiest way to put the food in her mouth. She was not interested in rice at all, but she liked the big meat buns very much.
It was her first time eating a big meat bun, and Sershilin could not understand it at all. She could not help but ask, "This meat … Why is it inside?" She could not see any cracks and could not figure out how the meat was put in.
Li Ran laughed loudly, and Guo Shier shook his head and said, "Don't worry about how it was put in. Is it delicious?"
Sershilin's eyes lit up, and she mumbled, "Delicious, very delicious, this is the best … I've eaten in my life. I … I never knew … it would be so delicious. Yes, I understand now … to be able to eat this kind of food, it's my … my luck, it's my luck, I … I want to eat more in the future …" She ate as she spoke, like a starving person seeing a pile of food. She could not bear to stop, and could only talk as she ate.
Li Ran, Qi Wuzhen, and Guo Shier ate in a much more refined manner. After all, they had eaten it many times. The three of them did not wolf down the food, but drank the wine and chatted casually as they ate. They looked very relaxed. Only Sershilin was frantically eating, her hands often reaching for two different dishes. The three of them could not help but find it funny. Even a pig could not compare to her eating manner. Although the three of them had smiles on their faces, they did not think it was strange. That was because they had seen many people who had eaten Guo Shier's food for the first time. Without exception, they all looked like they were hungry ghosts.
Gradually, only Serxlyn was left eating without stopping, while the other three held bottles of wine in their hands and drank slowly, chatting here and there. At this time, they were completely relaxed. The purpose of the wine was to relax. No matter how strong the wine was, it was useless for the three of them. With their bodies, even if they were soaked in alcohol, they would not get drunk.
Li Ran said, "We still have to run a little further. I have found some clues. This might be a way out of the projected galaxy. Using the royal armor in the ruins, I think … they used this crack to cross over. But for some reason, they can't go back. The so-called Ancient Sky Spirits are a human race in the universe."
Guo Shier happily said, "That's great. Does that mean … we will have a chance to go out soon?"
