Blood curd, a dish formed by adding salt to animal blood and then heating it until it congeals, was something Lu Ran quite liked to eat before he became a Beast Trainer. Spicy and numbing, it was perfect with rice.
After becoming a Beast Trainer Chef, blood curd remained one of the dishes Lu Ran cooked the most, mainly because beast blood was just so common.
However, despite his extreme proficiency, cooking epic-level blood curd was still a first for Lu Ran…
Therefore, he didn't directly choose to cook with the Mental Attribute Divine Beast blood suitable for the Dark Crow; instead, he started with Fire Attribute Divine Beast blood.
Best to try the dish on himself first!
None of his contracted pet beasts required Fire Attribute food; it was only Lu Ran, as a Flame Spirit Pillar, who needed Fire Attribute resources to bolster his Flame Spirit. So, it was certainly right to start by cooking Fire Attribute ingredients for his own use.
