"The ingredients for the Four Saint Soup are rare, particularly the last one, which is the Spirit Beetle, a specialty of Feng City. It mostly survives in the rice fields and goes deep underground come winter, only to surface after the spring."
"They also used nine snakes, nine chickens, nine turtles, and these nine spirit beetles to make the Four Saint Soup, which was simmered with various medicinal herbs for three hours, and in the end, only a small serving remained."
"Not a single grain of salt needed to be added, and it would still be a delicacy of the human world."

Qiao Jing had been the adoptive daughter of the City Captain of Coastal City since her youth. Born into a distinguished family, she had tasted too many exotic delicacies to take much interest in this so-called Four Saint Soup.
