Chapter 26 - Awesome Effects
Su Mu had just finished making the Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken, and he found a large bowl in the cabinet to store it in before placing it in the refrigerator for preservation.
Spiritual cuisine has a longer shelf life than regular dishes. Even without freezing, it can be stored in the fridge for a month or two without any loss of taste or quality.
Su Mu didn't forget to give his little sister, Little Greedy Cat, a slice to try, and he also ate several pieces himself. After experiencing the optimal effect, he closed his eyes to savor the sensation.
The recipe provided by the pay-to-win cheat clearly stated that the 9 points version of Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken could enhance energy, memory, and comprehension by 50%. However, the perfect version could boost these qualities by an astounding 100%!
Such a small difference, yet the effects were worlds apart!
After consuming the perfect version of the Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken, Su Mu noticed that this spiritual cuisine didn't just double his energy, memory, and comprehension—it also greatly enhanced his cultivation.
That night, during his spiritual practice, his spiritual qi value didn't just increase by 1.5 points—it shot up by 3 points, doubling the rate of improvement.
It was a pity he hadn't obtained the recipe for Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken earlier. If he could improve by 3 points each time, he would gain 12 points of spiritual qi value every day. That would be incredibly awesome!
No wonder many well-off individuals would consume both spiritual cuisine and spiritual pills during their cultivation. The combined effects were indeed very strong.
Time swiftly moved to the next afternoon.
Su Mu didn't head to the high-speed train station but instead arrived early at Liu Peng's home.
When Liu Peng opened the door and saw Su Mu, he laughed and said, "You really came to see me off? I thought you were joking."
"Hello, uncle and auntie," Su Mu greeted Liu Peng's parents first before playfully punching Liu Peng. "I said I'd come, and I always keep my word. Do well on the tests in Guizhou Province, and don't embarrass our No.7 High School."
Liu Peng chuckled, pulled Su Mu into his room, and after closing the door, said with confidence, "Don't worry. With my current spiritual qi value, I'll easily pass the threshold. The specialized subject examination might be a bit challenging, but with the boost from last night's spiritual cuisine, I'm in an awesome state. Definitely stable!"
He hadn't told his family about the money he made with Su Mu, and naturally, he couldn't let them know about the spiritual cuisine either.
"Don't jinx yourself by being overconfident," Su Mu warned.
"I'm not jinxing myself or being pessimistic; I'm simply full of confidence," Liu Peng replied with a grin.
Su Mu was speechless.
Liu Peng always had this inexplicable confidence when it came to exams.
But that was a good thing.
The path of spiritual practice is fraught with difficulties. Without confidence, what's the point of pursuing the path to immortality or practicing any arts? It would be better to give up early and live a normal life, sparing oneself from the hardships.
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news. Here," Su Mu said with a smile, handing over the bag he was carrying to Liu Peng.
"What's this good stuff?"
Liu Peng curiously peered into the bag, recognizing the dish inside the plastic container.

He looked up in surprise and asked, "Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken?"
"That's right," Su Mu nodded. "It's twice as effective as what we had last night!"
Liu Peng's mouth hung open, wondering if Su Mu was pulling his leg. But then he remembered the special effect qi refining pill and his demeanor shifted to one of excitement as he asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's real. Do you think I'd joke about something like this?"
"Awesome, bro!" Liu Peng exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up.
The Bang Bang Shangfu Chicken he had eaten the previous evening had already amazed him with its effects on his energy, memory, and comprehension. And now, the batch Su Mu brought was purported to be twice as potent!
It wasn't an overstatement to say that with this spiritual cuisine, Liu Peng's chances of getting into a cultivation university had just increased significantly!
Curious amidst his excitement, Liu Peng inquired, "Where did you get this from?"
"Don't ask—won't tell even if you do. I only got it myself today. Eat up. You're not planning to take it on the high-speed train, are you?" Su Mu said, producing a pair of disposable chopsticks out of thin air and handing them to Liu Peng.
Liu Peng looked at him, but ultimately, he didn't ask any further questions. He opened the lid and picked up a piece of meat. After chewing it, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "Delicious! Even better than what Master Yuanzhou makes!"
The taste was delightful, and the effects were potent. With just one piece of meat, Liu Peng immediately felt his mental state improve.
It was a mysterious sensation. If he were to describe it, not only did his mental energy feel stronger than before, but his insight and judgment on matters and problems had also elevated. Complex issues that had previously stumped him now seemed to unravel easily, revealing their solutions.
Liu Peng grew even more excited.
Su Mu hadn't exaggerated; this spiritual cuisine was indeed more powerful than the one they had eaten the night before.
The container held only a few slices of meat, which Liu Peng devoured in no time.
Licking his lips, he looked like he wanted more, saying, "That's way too little meat. I didn't even get to savor the taste before it was gone."
Su Mu knew he wanted another helping but didn't take the bait. Instead, he said, "Whose fault is it that you ate so fast? Besides, spiritual cuisine is about the effects, not filling your stomach like a normal meal."
"When I get into a cultivation university and become a cultivator, I'll eat spiritual cuisine every meal and make sure I'm full!" Liu Peng declared ambitiously.
After chatting for a bit longer, Liu Peng's parents called from the living room—it was time to leave.
Su Mu helped Liu Peng and his family carry their luggage out of the residential community and into a taxi.
Before getting into the cab, Liu Peng approached Su Mu, raised his hand, and said, "I'm off. You gotta keep pushing too. We're both going to get into a cultivation university!"
"Let's do this together!" Su Mu replied, giving him a high five.
"See ya." Liu Peng got into the taxi and waved goodbye.
As Su Mu watched the taxi disappear into the distance, he turned and went back home.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the much-anticipated Examination Day for cultivation had finally arrived.
