The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 820 - 818: A Spiritual Delicacy Master of Extraordinary Origin
The Spiritual Longevity Peach Bun itself is non-toxic, yet it surpasses being poisonous.
It makes people lose their taste for food, almost like an addictive poppy.
Xin Lin thought to herself.
Poppy... Xin Lin’s eyes deepened.
She remembered, back when she was a modern Female Soldier King, she had heard a news story about a hotpot restaurant that used special herbal seasonings, leading to addiction among many diners.
"Master Mo, have you ever heard of a medicinal herb called poppy?"
Xin Lin became alert; she didn’t know if such a herb existed in Longteng.
"Never heard of it. However, it might be recorded in the medical book."
Master Mo shook his head.
She was only a half-baked doctor, not knowing that much.
Xin Lin immediately searched through Master Mo’s medical book, and recalled the records in the Mystical Medicine Book. It took an entire afternoon for Xin Lin to find a record of a herb similar to poppy in an ancient pharmacopoeia.
"Opium Poppy, a special herb growing by the seaside in Beihai County. Its fruits possess certain medicinal properties, enhancing aroma and flavor of food, and prolonged consumption may lead to hallucinations and meridian paralysis."
Xin Lin’s eyes constricted.
She looked at Beihai County again, coincidentally, that Beihai County is in the Ancient Yue Kingdom.
Ancient Yue Kingdom, wasn’t Yang Su from the Ancient Yue Kingdom?
However, Opium Poppy is a medicinal herb with a medicinal taste and slight toxicity.
Yet, Taoyao Pavilion’s Spiritual Longevity Peach Bun is completely non-toxic, and no trace of Opium Poppy is found.
How can one prove that there’s poison in the Spiritual Longevity Peach Bun?
Xin Lin pondered.
"Xin Lin, Hall Master Jiang has arrived."
Master Mo noticed Xin Lin locked in the medical hall all afternoon, neither cooking nor going out, causing concern.
It was only until evening that Jiang Qing came to visit.
"Xin, I’ve got news about the person you wanted me to inquire about."
Around noon, Xin Lin urgently sought out Jiang Qing, asking him to help inquire about a person named Yang Su from the Ancient Yue Kingdom.
Seeing Xin Lin’s grave demeanor, Jiang Qing knew this person must be very important to Xin Lin, so he immediately contacted Hei Yao Castle’s informants across the regions.
"Yang Su is a person from the Ancient Yue Kingdom, just a few days ago relocated to Longteng Zixiao City, with a wife and daughter. This person is a Four-star Spirit Chef, but his rise to fame is somewhat peculiar."
Jiang Qing hesitated slightly.
"Brother Jiang, don’t hold back."
Xin Lin urged.
"A year ago, he was an obscure assistant chef, but within one year, he skyrocketed to fame, quickly becoming prominent in the Ancient Yue Kingdom, and acquiring three to four Four-star Spiritual Food Restaurants."
Jiang Qing, being knowledgeable, had encountered many Spiritual Delicacy Masters.
Spiritual Delicacy Masters aren’t as rare as Spirit and Martial Artists, but becoming an outstanding Spiritual Cuisine Master is not easy.
An example like Xin Lin, within a few months, rising from a general worker to a Three-star Spirit Chef, was almost a miracle.
Not to mention, Xin Lin’s becoming a Three-star Spirit Chef also had some element of luck.
Yet, Yang Su became a Four-star Spirit Chef, progressing star by star in examinations, which was even more astonishing compared to Xin Lin.
"Furthermore, Yang Su has already made a name for himself in the Ancient Yue Kingdom and owns three to four Four-star Spiritual Food Restaurants. Why would he come to Longteng Country and start new with Taoyao Pavilion?"
This was also where Jiang Qing found things to be amiss during his investigation.
"So you also think this person named Yang Su is problematic?"
Xin Lin nodded.
"There’s definitely an issue. I just don’t know his real intentions for coming to Purple Cloud City. Xin Lin, Taoyao Pavilion suddenly starting to sell buns might target Chu’s Restaurant, you should be cautious."
Jiang Qing warned.
