- "Yinyang Recipes": "The organs of beasts possessing extraordinary abilities that grant them said abilities are of equally extraordinary use in the kitchen. For example, Eye Devourer's Pupils are a top-notch ingredient. If one is able to come across a fresh pair, keep it in a dark place until all of the blood has drained from them and a fishy aroma begins to be exuded. Stewing them with goji berries, jasmine flowers, and rock crystals for two hours will lend preeminent eyesight and increased magical abilities to the consumer."
