Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 24
Chapter 24: Day Twenty-Four of Slacking Off
Fu Shuangxue called it a soul-seduction technique, but Wen Ying thought it wasn’t that exaggerated.
At most, it was a mind-dulling technique.
This mind-dulling technique, being of such low level, didn’t affect her and Xiao Hei at all, so Wen Ying hadn’t noticed it.
Now that she had noticed it, the source was easy to find.
Wen Ying looked down at the food in her hand.
No wonder she found the food so foul-smelling; even bad food wouldn’t have such a dreadful, dark culinary scent…
It turned out the technique was cast through the food.
Wen Ying’s glance caused Fu Shuangxue to realize the same thing.
After a quick investigation of the food, Fu Shuangxue confirmed that the food was the culprit behind the mind-dulling technique.
In that case, it must be the kitchen…
Fu Shuangxue knew that among cultivators, there was an extremely rare cultivation method called Culinary Cultivation (厨修 – chú xiū).
This was a cultivation method invented a thousand years ago by an extremely powerful cultivator. Before that, all cultivators believed that grains were impure qi and hindered cultivation.
The conditions for becoming a Culinary Cultivator were extremely demanding; only the most talented among geniuses could cultivate it. Even he didn’t have the talent to become one.
The path of cultivation for Culinary Cultivators was also more arduous than that of other cultivators. Culinary Cultivators had to rely on cooking to improve their cultivation, and only after the food they made was eaten by others could they improve their cultivation. Culinary Cultivators couldn’t eat that much food themselves, so they naturally relied on others to consume it. However, if even one person said “it’s bad,” all their recent cultivation would be wasted.
Therefore, few Culinary Cultivators could reach the丙 (bǐng) rank, often their cultivation speed couldn’t keep up with their lifespan, and very few achieved great success.
Wen Ying really didn’t expect that there was such a complete cultivation setting for such a bizarre cultivation method.
If it was really that rare…
Wen Ying could understand why the elders and Xiao Hei were like that.
If so, the reason for the mind-dulling technique in the food was clear.
Other chefs who felt their cooking was bad would usually work on improving their cooking skills. But the Xun Xian Sect’s chef was clever, going straight to the root—as long as the person eating it thought it was delicious, then it was delicious.
If you can’t change yourself, then change others.
Truly worthy of being the “Culinary Cultivator” of Xun Xian Sect, their way of thinking is unique.
While Wen Ying and Fu Shuangxue were pondering, the antidote-treated Xu Tongtong slowly woke up.
She clearly didn’t know what happened; she had no memory of what happened after being poisoned.
She only remembered eating…
Although she didn’t know why Fu Shuangxue was talking to Senior Sister Wen, Xu Tongtong felt that she hadn’t finished her meal yet.
She would continue eating.
Xu Tongtong picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat the food on her tray.
“Tongtong, don’t!” Fu Shuangxue immediately noticed Xu Tongtong’s actions and quickly returned to her side, “The food here…”
“What’s wrong with the food?” Xu Tongtong looked up in confusion, “The food is delicious, and there’s a lot of it!”
Fu Shuangxue wanted to say there was poison in the food, but found it wasn’t the case.
There was no poison in the food.
The source of Tongtong’s poisoning was not this food. He had completely misunderstood everything.
Could it be… that he felt there was poison in the food just now because of the mind-dulling technique?
However…
Even without poison, Tongtong couldn’t continue eating this stuff because of the mind-dulling technique.
Tongtong was unconscious when he enlightened everyone, so he didn’t lift the spell.
“Tongtong, this food has a mind-dulling technique on it!” Fu Shuangxue said anxiously to Xu Tongtong.
“Mind-dulling technique…” Xu Tongtong took another large mouthful, slowly chewing and swallowing it. Looking at Fu Shuangxue, she blinked in confusion, “But I don’t feel like I’m being controlled?”
This…
How could this be!
Normally, with a simple mind-dulling technique, the person affected only needed to notice it, and the spell would be broken.
Fu Shuangxue originally planned to report this matter to his master later, but now it seemed he couldn’t delay it.
He had to go to the kitchen and lift the spell for Tongtong!
Uh…
Actually, Wen Ying could hear Xu Tongtong’s thoughts.
Xu Tongtong genuinely thought the food was delicious and was indeed not affected by the mind-dulling technique.
Fu Shuangxue seemed to have overlooked one possibility.
Was it possible that because Xu Tongtong’s intelligence was already low enough, the mind-dulling technique had no effect on her?
However, regarding that “Culinary Cultivator”…
Wen Ying was quite interested.
Not just out of curiosity.
A cultivator type she hadn’t heard of in more than fifty reincarnations; she should unlock a new character.
