Liu Yun pushed open the door to the private room again.

He was still carrying four large trays.

"This is today's main course. After the guests have finished eating, I will serve the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to everyone. My junior uncle said that if the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is served first, the flavor of today's main course will be bland."

After finishing speaking, he put down the tray and left the private room.

Daoist Zhaoye and True Man Long looked at the tray in front of them, and before they even lifted the lid, they could already smell the rich and tempting aroma of meat.

Lifting the tray lid, a plume of white steam immediately rose up.

Their eyes were immediately and firmly fixed on the tray.

The most eye-catching dish was the one in the very center of the tray.

A cow bone about the length of an arm, next to which are neatly cut chunks of meat.

The tender, pink meat chunks, with wisps of smoke rising from them, looked incredibly tempting.

Daoist Zhaoye picked up his chopsticks and gently poked the piece of meat.

The chopsticks pierced through the beef effortlessly.

I picked it up and put it directly into my mouth.

Tender.

So incredibly tender!

Unlike his younger siblings, Daoist Zhaoye suffered a lot before he attained enlightenment.

Later, when he became wealthy, it was because he had been eating the same food for a long time.

Although those memories are from tens of thousands of years ago, the taste remains fresh in my mind.

But those meals were completely incomparable to today's meals.

Those things used to be enough to fill you up, but they were definitely not delicious.

This one today is just too delicious!

The tender texture, the bursting juice, the endless flavor variations are like countless hands stimulating every sensory nerve.

This isn't food; it's art.

Such delicious food should be chewed repeatedly and savored carefully in order to fully appreciate its flavors!

Hmm, after a couple of chews, the saltiness starts to seep in; after a third chew, a strange smoky aroma appears; after a fourth chew…

Hey!

What kind of petty thief dared to steal from your grandfather's plate?!

The Daoist Zhaoye, who had been enjoying his meat with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and instantly locked onto a pair of chopsticks that were reaching for his plate.

He raised his hand and, with a swift motion, knocked a piece of meat off his chopsticks.

Looking up along the chopsticks, I saw my second brother's cheeks bulging as he struggled to chew something while reaching for the wicked chopsticks.

"Hey! Shameless second brother, it's fair and just for everyone to have one serving. Why are you stealing my food?"

Master Long's hands moved swiftly, his chopsticks creating countless afterimages as they attacked Daoist Zhaoye's plate.

He mumbled incoherently, "The big pot of skewers is very slow, it must not like skewers. It just happens to suit my taste, so I'll have it."

"Hey! You foolish second brother, I savored it carefully and slowly, unlike you who just gulped it down. It's such a waste!"

Looking at her two older brothers, Fairy Yunxiao felt a warm feeling in her heart.

The two older brothers do not seem to have been corrupted by that mysterious power.

Mingdao Ren stared at the food in front of him with gritted teeth, while occasionally revealing a look of drooling desire.

The consciousness, dominated by a mysterious force, knew that eating the food prepared by 'that person' would be absolutely detrimental to it.

You should refuse to eat it no matter what.

But the aroma of the food kept wafting into their noses, and not only the Taoist priest, but even the mysterious power that occupied the altar couldn't help but want to eat it.

This greatly annoyed the mysterious force.

No matter how hard he tried to control his thoughts, a vortex of spiritual energy still appeared at Mingdaoren's mouth.

The vortex extended all the way to the plate.

Then the tomahawk steak flew into Mingdaoren's mouth along the vortex.

Once it enters your mouth, it spins around, and the plate of beef disappears in the blink of an eye.

Then Mingdao suddenly fell silent, but a whirlwind swirled around his body.

Daoist Zhaoye suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Daoist Ming.

Although he couldn't see anything, he instinctively felt two forces pulling at each other.

Ye Feng, who had been paying close attention to this place, had a more direct view of it.

However, he didn't care about Mingdaoren's condition; he was more interested in the conditions of Zhaoye Daojun and Long Zhenren.

Both of them acted too normally.

There's a saying that something unusual is bound to be suspicious, but sometimes things that are too normal can seem even more abnormal.

If I'm not mistaken, these two people have probably been completely corrupted by that sand sculpture power!

What is the scariest thing in the world?

The most terrifying thing is being perfectly round and without any sharp edges.

Flies don't land on eggs without cracks; that's the point.

Apart from Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and the twelve ways to eat lobster blessed by heaven and earth, I always remove one or two strands from my own food.

The reason it's called "wisps" is because after the sand sculpture's power erodes a person's body, it will emit wisps of vapor like flames.

The effect of those delicious foods is to remove these dissipated odors.

But for those whose power has been completely eroded, it's like an eggshell—slippery and impossible to grasp.

Moreover, since these two acted so normally, it's likely that the sand sculpture power wasn't activated at all, but rather hidden deep within their souls.

He left only the most basic instructions, instructing the two to continue acting in accordance with the original code of conduct.

Although the power of that sand sculpture is hidden, it will likely be able to quickly take over control of the two of them once given a command!

To deal with their situation, we can probably only rely on the 12 ways to cook lobster and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which are a blessing from heaven and earth.

These two dishes have the effect of either cutting a slit in the round egg or sprinkling cumin and salt on the slit.

Then the power of other delicacies will have a place to be used and can truly play its role.

Fairy Yunxiao was almost overjoyed at this moment.

Seeing that his older brothers were unaffected, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to say something, a gentle breeze suddenly reached her ears.

Ye Feng's voice rang in my ears.

"Fairy Yunxiao, based on my confident observation, your two elder brothers have probably been completely corrupted. At present, the only things that can still be effective are the twelve ways to cook lobster blessed by heaven and earth and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The ingredients you gave me before are enough to exchange for one serving. I believe these two things can remove 20% of the power from your two elder brothers' bodies."

Fairy Yunxiao felt a chill run through her heart.

She was just thinking that her two older brothers hadn't been affected, but then she was told directly that they hadn't been unaffected, but had completely lost their independent consciousness.

Why is the gap between reality and ideal so huge?!

Before she could speak, Ye Feng continued telepathically, "If your two brothers eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall now, their Sand Sculpture power might be instantly awakened. They naturally won't dare show anything here, but once they return to your sect, things might be different. At that point, your and your third brother's situation will be..."

Ye Feng didn't say what he was going to say next, but how could the intelligent and clever Fairy Yunxiao not understand the hidden meaning?
