Upon eating said food, the consumer body will start to morph and almost mutate. Slowly bending and bubbling until they gain the mutation. The food itself is stored in these qi bubbles and is then shrunken and compressed. Upon squeezing the bubble, the food slowly expands and become a full bowl/dish of the food. The food generally looks extremely appetizing.
bu fang will be strengthening his connection to the Qi in a more unorthodox way. Previously he was cultivating the way of the cardinal beast, the white tiger, red phoenix, golden dragon, and black turtle snake. Which requires a more balanced mindset as one needs to maintain a level qi over it. This allows him to be able to easily take traits of animals and imbued their excess Qi into the very food he cooks.
Now that he has gone through a specific event, his mind is no longer stable. the yang of the 4 cardinal beast, the dragon and phoenix are taking dominance. This lead to his qi becoming significantly more unstable and leads to his ability to condense the meal not as simple anymore. The qi merely disperse as its no longer balance and like all things in this world, it seeks balance.
In exchange for this though, his qi has resonated more with creatures and animals as most of them are beings of yang qi. He can directly manipulate the qi within a creature. This becomes practically as if he's molding his own Qi when they're already under the influence of his Qi as the yang qi are dominant and aggressive.

At the heart of Jessica's research lies the revelation that crystalline light isn't merely an advanced concept in particle physics, but a manifestation of alien intelligence with its own will to form. Harnessing this phenomenon as a bridge, Jessica can merge alien genetic material with human physiology, yielding disturbing yet powerful biological enhancements. As she channels this ability, crystals of light proliferate across the room and patient, emanating an opalescent glow that shifts and writhes with impossible colors.
The process begins as luminescent crystal tendrils pierce the subject's skin, branching out like glowing veins beneath the surface. Affected areas undergo rapid, unsettling metamorphoses – limbs elongate unnaturally, extra eyes sprout in unexpected places, or skin becomes translucent, revealing pulsating, alien organs. Throughout the operation, the patient experiences intense fever and vivid hallucinations, a harrowing ordeal that subsides after several hours.
These alterations bestow superhuman abilities, with the enhanced flesh eventually conforming to the patient's original shape. However, occasional quivers and the development of colored geometric patterns betray the struggle of alien matter to maintain its new form within the human host. While temporary, the process leaves behind residual changes: faint, glowing skin patterns and fleeting flashes of inhuman perception serve as constant reminders of the tenuous veil between humanity and the cosmic unknown.

The package Vanessa received at first looked to be a normal pair of gloves. As she put it on though, she could feel something slipping under her skin and into her arms. It was painful and uncomfortable, but it didn't look bad when it finished taking over her. When the pain was gone, the glove seemed to blend in with her skin to the point where she couldn't even pull it off. Her arm definitely felt different though.
Though visually everything looked fine, feeling her arms would reveal that their insides felt much thicker and harder than bones should feel.
