"Add more chili peppers."

Wu Qiuyu spoke in a clear, melodious voice, tinged with anticipation.

Ye Feng was exasperated. "You might as well soak in chili water!"

"Senior sister, I think that's enough. Look at these meat skewers, they're covered in chili peppers layer upon layer. Eating too much chili pepper will upset your stomach."

Wu Qiuyu said nonchalantly, "So what if my stomach hurts? If it hurts too much, I'll just cut it off and a new one will grow."

I'll blanch it!

Ye Feng was completely out of options.

Fine, fine, you people in the cultivation world are indeed arrogant. You can cut off your stomach whenever you want and make it grow back whenever you want, right? I've been here for so many years and I still can't get over this perception!

Left with no other choice, Ye Feng had to resort to his trump card: "Senior sister, if you put too much chili, it will mask a lot of the meat's aroma, and then you won't be able to appreciate the essence of this charcoal-grilled lamb kidney."

Wu Qiuyu stared at Ye Feng suspiciously for a while before reluctantly saying, "I suspect you're lying to me, but I have no proof. Fine, you decide what you did."

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the sizzling, oily lamb kidneys and carefully pierced them with an iron skewer.

Because lamb kidneys are quite thick, if you don't prick them or cut them open, the blood may not drain out completely, making them taste extremely fishy and unpleasant.

Ye Feng naturally didn't want to eat that kind of food, so he prepared it meticulously.

I dipped a small brush into the oil in the oil drum and brushed the oil onto the lamb kidneys while skimming off the blood.

The bright red lamb kidneys on the grill contrasted sharply with the golden-yellow ones Ye Feng had grilled for himself.

He did fulfill Wu Qiuyu's request, but those in the Immortal Realm waiting for the secret treasure to appear are in for a rough time.

Among all the chili peppers Ye Feng owns, the Devil Muscle Pepper considers itself second to none; in fact, no other chili pepper dares to claim first place.

Ye Feng wore a mask while grilling; apart from Wu Qiuyu, no one could stand it.

When chili peppers are heated, their pungent, deadly odor dissipates with the smoke.

Then……

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough... Ugh..."

"Who is it? Show yourself! I see you! You dare to poison us, but you don't dare to show your true face? Cough cough cough..."

Immortal Lord Yuanfeng frowned and couldn't help but cough a few times.

Blocking their sense of smell was useless, so they had no choice but to retreat quickly.

He couldn't help but wonder, "What exactly is this treasure? Just a moment ago it made my mouth water, but suddenly it makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable and want to cough, and there's even a fishy or foul smell mixed in with it?"

Liu Chengming followed closely behind Immortal Lord Yuanfeng and retreated to the back. Upon seeing him arrive, Immortal Lord Yuanfeng could not resist his curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Chengming, with your many years of experience in treasure hunting, do you have any guesses about this treasure?"

Liu Chengming coughed twice and said helplessly, "Immortal Lord, it's not that I'm hiding anything, but this treasure is truly beyond my comprehension. Even when I shared the information with my sect leaders, none of them had ever seen anything like it before."

Just as the two were talking, several surprised exclamations suddenly rang out.

"Cough cough cough... This smell, this feeling... Why does it feel so familiar? It's like I've smelled it somewhere before?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you feel the same way?! I thought I was smelling something wrong, cough cough cough."

"Hiss... I'm sure I've smelled this recently, maybe even within this month."

"Holy crap, is it possible that this smell is from the video posted by fellow Daoist Jiang Lu?"

"That video he posted? Isn't that a kind of food from the lower realms?"

"Absolutely no mistake! Although there are some differences, they're roughly the same!"

"Quickly open the video and smell it to verify."

Hearing their conversation, Immortal Lord Yuanfeng couldn't help but take out his iPhone 25.

After a few steps, the video uploaded by Jiang Lu was opened.

Sure enough, I saw the smell function on it.

After clicking on it, a similarly spicy aroma wafted over.

Upon taking a light sniff, Immortal Lord Yuanfeng found himself both amused and exasperated.

Did I come here early to search for treasure, only to make a big blunder?

Liu Chengming also had an embarrassed and incredulous expression on his face.

"This...this...could it really taste like a food from the mortal realm?"

Yuanfeng Immortal Lord smiled wryly and said, "Although it's hard to accept, I guess this is the truth?"

Suddenly, the tone shifted, and Immortal Lord Yuanfeng said with great interest, "However, I am now filled with curiosity about the people of the lower realm. They are clearly from the lower realm, so how can their scent reach the immortal realm? And what kind of delicious food do they make that makes my mouth water uncontrollably?"

Liu Chengming thought to himself, "As expected of a high-level Golden Immortal. My mouth was already watering, but he was still able to control himself. His cultivation is truly amazing."

Suddenly, he was startled and realized that something was very wrong.

Shouldn't I be angry that I made a wasted trip?

Shouldn't I be angry that drooling is bad for my image?

Why am I so calm, and even feel like laughing?

Neither Yuanfeng Immortal nor Liu Mingcheng, each with their own thoughts, lingered any longer. They bid each other farewell and departed in rainbow form.

Some people followed along, grumbling and cursing, but others did not leave.

Perhaps they want to wait and see if a magical treasure will truly be born, or perhaps they simply want to smell the aroma again.

Chen Xin eagerly grabbed Jian Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng, is the thing that disciple Ye Feng asked you to bring me as delicious and as tempting as this braised food?"

Judging from his trembling lips, it seemed like he was about to drool at any moment.

Jian Qingfeng pondered for a long time before truthfully replying, "Perhaps it was true before, but it's not true now."

Chen Xin was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "What do you mean? Has it gone bad?"

Jian Qingfeng shook his head and said, "No, it's to show my respect to you, sir. Ye Feng has prepared for you delicacies blessed by heaven and earth, which are much more effective than the ordinary food he makes."

Chen Xin was overjoyed: "Will the taste be much better too?"

Jian Qingfeng said with a wry smile, "Not only has it not become much stronger, but quite the opposite. After being blessed by heaven and earth, this food has become tasteless and odorless, and it will not be affected by any flavor. Its main feature is that it is unpalatable."

Chen Xin felt a little numb.

But his own disciple meant well and brought out all his best treasures, so what could he say?

Jian Qingfeng hurriedly explained, "Grandmaster, please don't be offended. It's just that there are only so many things that can be brought from the Upper Realm. He doesn't know when we can descend to the Lower Realm, so he prepared things that are extremely effective."

"Among these are those that enhance physical defense, those that enhance protective qi, those that enhance speed, those that enhance agility, those that directly improve cultivation level, and many that enhance cultivation aptitude. I believe you will see a significant improvement after consuming them."
