There are three types of secret food. One type is evolution secret food, which can extract the essence of all things and allow the beast to evolve. For example, the Void Cherry Tomato that allows the little spider to transform is an unparalleled miracle.
The second type is sacrificial secret food, which can capture forbidden time and ancient existences of historical sacrifices. Because it is too high-end, it cannot be used for the time being.
The third type is skill food, which can be made by refining special extraordinary materials. It is essentially a edible version of a skill learning machine.
However, unlike ordinary beast taming learning new skills, skill food does not require matching of attributes, race, or other factors. You can obtain the skill simply by eating it, and it also comes with a beginner level of proficiency.
Although it is possible to force learning, the attribute gap is too large, making it extremely difficult to improve proficiency later.
For example, if an Earth-type Earth-type Kun learns the Water Gun skill, even if it practices day and night for two and a half years, its proficiency with the Water Gun will still improve very slowly.
Because it can't spray water!
If I could speak, I would definitely say with teary eyes:
"I cannot do it!"
However, with the proficiency template bonus, if you really force yourself to reach the maximum level, it might produce some strange effects, such as the Great Flood Technique!
Evolved Water Sprayer Kun!
The skill recipe that Lu Yu is going to create this time is the one he found in the recipe inheritance. It is based on the [cursed puppet organ of the Ghost Face Cursed Frog] and is most suitable for the little spider's silk-like abilities.
Unlike evolutionary secret foods that can be infinitely combined according to one's own imagination, skill secret foods are like traditional potion-making, with strict requirements and procedures.
Therefore, Lu Yu spent almost all his savings to buy two auxiliary materials for extraordinary materials.
With excitement, he removed the sealing incantation. The moment he opened the box, mist dispersed, creating a hazy, ethereal atmosphere, much like opening a refrigerator on a hot summer day, instantly cooling the temperature.
On the white silk inside the box, five black feathers are placed on the left side, surrounded by a faint mist that lingers, giving it a mysterious and dark appearance.
This is a water-type pet called the Mist Crow, from the ecological secret realm of the Mist Forest next to the neighboring Mist City.
The elite of the race with peak potential, it resembles an ordinary crow in appearance, is entirely black, feeds on fish and rats, especially loves to drink water, its feathers have a strong water storage effect, and when flying it can convert water into a large amount of mist and release it, thus concealing itself or attacking enemies.
Every year, there are incidents of travelers getting lost after straying into the fog of the fog ravens and losing their sense of direction.
Some even believe that the dense fog in the Misty Forest is likely a fog field released by a powerful fog raven, but this is mostly considered a joke.
Even a dominant beast at the Morning Star level couldn't cover the Misty Forest, which spans thousands of square kilometers, with mist, let alone a Mist Raven whose potential is only at the peak of the Elite level.
However, the feathers of the Fog Raven have an excellent water-type extraordinary material, and can be used as a humidifier at home.
Another material is a glass test tube engraved with incantations, containing a dark blue liquid that is as dazzling and beautiful as a legendary soul.
This is the blood of a unique elite-level pet beast from the spirit world's ecosystem—the spirit spider. It spits out invisible silk threads to weave traps, and prey walking on the road may fall into the traps, then be wrapped up, injected with toxins, dissolved into liquid, and eaten.
Lu Yu went through a lot of trouble to find a spirit beast breeding farm and spent a lot of money to buy five drops.
After buying the two extraordinary materials, his bank account was instantly emptied, leaving him with only a few thousand yuan.
"Thankfully, crafting secret recipes doesn't require any mental energy, otherwise I would have been completely exhausted..."
Lu Yu sighed, then with a thought, endless chaotic energy engulfed him, transforming him once again into the Thousand-Handed Demon God.
Countless chaotic currents condensed and compressed into a massive black furnace, burning with dark golden flames; a single spark from its explosion was enough to incinerate a world.
But at its very core lies a vast amount of life energy.
It seems to represent the gestation of life!
"Was the world born from the burning of fire? The primordial fire?"
Lu Yu seemed lost in thought, but he didn't forget his main task. After all, these things could only be used in the Creator Space and couldn't be taken out. So he took out a sticky black lump of flesh from the material library, which was the mucous membrane folds of the Ghost Face Curse Frog, also known as the vocal cords.
The power of the Ghost Face Curse Frog comes from its sound, which is used to spread spells. Therefore, its extraordinary characteristics are all concentrated in its vocal cords. Although it is not fully developed, it is still rated as a top-tier two-star frog.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the ninth most valuable pet in the Undead category.
In comparison, the other two auxiliary ingredients, being renewable resources, only received a one-star rating.
Lu Yu first threw the [Ghost Face Cursed Frog's Cursed Puppet Organ] into the fire. In this strange life fire, the impurities in the pitch-black vocal cords were continuously removed, and finally turned into a ball of black liquid.
Taking advantage of this moment, he took out five Mist Raven Feathers, used the chaotic energy to trim them down to just 100g, no more, no less, and then threw them in, where they instantly turned into wisps of green smoke that intertwined together.
Using the chaotic energy of the annihilated world to trim his fur was the pinnacle of his life, something he could brag about for a lifetime.
Finally, five drops of spirit spider blood were added, and the three intertwined, eventually coalescing into a transparent jelly. However, upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be composed of countless transparent threads, giving it a bouncy texture.
And the relevant information was then presented to us.
【Skill Secret Food - Spirit Puppet Thread Pudding: Made by extracting the primordial curse from the complete cursed organ of the Ghost Face Cursed Frog, burning 100g of Mist Raven Feathers, and finally blending in five drops of Spirit Realm Spider Blood. Consuming this pudding grants the special high-level skill - Spirit Puppet Thread】
Making the secret food skill is not troublesome; one can simply summon the Chaos Furnace to refine it in the outside world. This time, he was just afraid of wasting materials, so he decided to play it safe first.
Moreover, the recipe is perfectly described in the description, making it seem like all you need to do is follow the steps to make it and accomplish an unprecedented feat.
By eating, one can learn skills that completely outclass all skill learning machines on the market. Using this formula, one can start a company, secure angel investment, marry a princess, and reach the pinnacle of life...
My foot!
The first step, refining the Primal Curse, is enough to defeat 99.99% of Material Science Masters.
Stripping away the source is at least a forbidden level. Even though Lu Yu relies on the power of the Thousand-Handed Demon God, he cannot expose this secret.
The business plan was stillborn before it even began.
However, once we're stronger, we can try to simplify the process of selling some low-level skills.
Lu Yu felt a little regretful. Back in reality, he looked at the little spider still munching on a cookie and handed it the skill food.
"Eek?"
The little spider picked up the bouncy jelly, sniffed it with its little nose, then opened its mouth and sucked in all the transparent threads like a cloud of mist.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena; the only change was a slight alteration in the little spider's stats, revealing that it had gained an extra skill.
【The Puppet's Thread】
After reading the skill description, Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Terrifying..."
