When you're so engrossed in something that your brain shuts down, hallucinations can happen in an instant.

You might say he's toxic, but he's not; after all, it's just something the brain imagines.

You might say he's toxic, but he truly is; no one can resist his temptation.

After finishing this plate of mushrooms, all the diners felt as if they had entered a state of enlightenment.

The path I was cultivating was so clearly displayed before my eyes, it seemed that I could attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven with just a gentle touch.

Ye Feng unleashed his sword energy in the kitchen, completely enveloping the mountaintop cottage.

His sword aura can be said to be the absolute nemesis of inner demons and evil spirits. With his sword aura, these guests do not need to worry about inner demons taking advantage of their weaknesses.

A plate of mushrooms was also placed in front of Ye Feng. The attribute of this dish was also very interesting: it was to reveal one's true self.

Those who consume it will see their own Great Dao, but this Great Dao is not any of the three thousand Great Daos.

Rather, it is the most ideal path that only exists in that person's imagination.

It is the most perfect path, which is based on one's own understanding and has eliminated all preferences.

If the Great Way is correct, then after eating this dish, one will naturally make significant progress.

If the Great Way is wrong, then after waking up, comparing the two will reveal the shortcomings of the Great Way you have cultivated.

With just this one effect, this dish is more than qualified to be promoted to a points-based dish.

After eating such fresh food, if the fourth dish isn't explosively flavorful enough, then it will inevitably be three points weaker in taste, which is the difference.

Therefore, the fourth dish must be flavorful, and lamb is an ingredient that can absolutely go head-to-head with mushrooms.

The fourth main course was Ye Feng's carefully prepared mutton pilaf.

This West Ba cuisine dish, with its rich meaty aroma, conquers every tourist visiting New Province.

This dish is not difficult to make; even an average person could easily make one that scores 80 or higher.

If you're aiming for a score of 90, then the sheep must come from Yanchitan in Ningxia; the final 10 points are the result of skillful preparation.

The fiber from Yanchi Beach in Ningxia is exceptionally fine, with a slightly sweet taste and a unique fragrance.

Although there is no salt flat here, Ye Feng can use the artifact spirit to simulate such an environment.

The kitchen helpers were still immersed in their own imagined world, so he could only continue to do everything himself.

The mutton is cut into thick chunks and placed evenly to one side, the main idea being to eat meat and rice in big bites.

I cut some lean meat and added some mutton fat. The mutton is from the sheep's rump, which is not only rich in fat but also incredibly tender and not dry.

You don't need many side dishes; onions and carrots are enough.

After slicing all the onions and carrots into thin strips, pour them into the pan and start stir-frying.

After the aroma is released, pour the lamb into the pot and stir-fry together. Add the rice wine, cumin, pepper, salt, tomato sauce and other seasonings one by one.

After the mutton was cooked, Ye Feng put it into the rice steamer.

After soaking the rice for an hour, spread it on top of the mutton, add some raisins, pour in some spring water, cast the Fire Control spell, and then sit back and wait for the rice to cook.

Lifting the pot lid, a rich aroma of meat wafts right up to you.

[Perfect Lamb Pilaf, 6-star rating. Tender lamb, with the perfect ratio of lean to fat, paired with succulent onions, sweet carrots, and glistening fragrant rice—it's mouthwatering!]

[Efficacy: After consumption, it can prevent hunger for 10 days; increase physical strength by 25%; increase physical defense by 25%; effectively remove 25% of excess body fat, sculpting a perfect figure; remove three strands of a certain mysterious force.]

Ye Feng immediately filled a large bowl for himself. The stats were secondary; the main thing was that this stuff was indeed very fragrant.

Rice, raisins, and mutton are mixed together, becoming one with each other.

Each grain of fragrant rice is plump and glistening, and the mutton fat perfectly permeates every grain, making the aroma of the rice even more exquisite.

After adding tomato sauce, the broth takes on a reddish hue, which not only covers up some of the oil stains but also makes the overall color of this mutton pilaf more appealing.

A spoonful of meat and rice is stuffed into the mouth. The tender mutton and chewy rice become more and more fragrant with each chew, and the mutton fat melts in your mouth. The taste is simply indescribable.

Ye Feng was enjoying his meal when Jing Lei and the other kitchen disciples started sniffing.

They soon broke free from the illusion.

They were able to wake up so early partly because they were lured by the smell of delicious food, and partly because their swordsmanship was absolutely correct.

If you can see the most perfect swordsmanship in your mind every day, you don't necessarily need to appreciate it in an illusion.

Ye Feng served each of them a bowl. The guests in the private room were still asleep, so there was no rush to serve the food.

Jing Lei and the others naturally didn't stand on ceremony with their junior uncle, and started shoveling rice into their bowls.

As Jing Lei ate, he exclaimed, "Wow, it looks a bit oily, but it doesn't taste oily at all. And this mutton is not only incredibly tender, but it doesn't even have a trace of gamey smell."

"Senior Brother Jinglei, when have you ever tasted a gamey or fishy smell in the food that Junior Uncle cooks?"

"I've never had mutton in my junior uncle's cooking, mainly because I've tried to cook some mutton dishes myself, just like he does. It's really too cruel to myself."

"Haha, to use Junior Uncle's words, you haven't even learned to walk yet but you're already thinking about flying on a sword. You haven't even mastered the basics yet, but you're already thinking about cooking."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What I meant was that you don't need to learn how to cook from me before you've mastered the basics, but that doesn't stop you from trying it yourselves. As I always say, interest is the best teacher in this world. Once you truly fall in love with cooking, your progress will be rapid."

Seeing that the disciples had finished eating, Ye Feng clapped his hands and said, "Alright, the guests should be waking up soon. Go and serve the dishes. Before entering, just activate your Mingjianxin and shout 'Soul Returns'."

Jing Lei carried the tray to the outside of the private room, raised his sword finger and softly shouted "Open," after which a layer of light blue light enveloped him.

His somewhat carefree expression instantly turned serious and earnest.

"May your soul return."

After shouting, Jing Lei shut down the Tongming Sword Heart.

"This state is good, but it makes you want to fight."

He muttered something, and then a thunderclap knocked on the door of the private room.

The domineering man slowly awoke in the private room, and his previously somewhat violent aura became calm and composed.

After a moment's thought, he actually knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Ye Feng's sword energy!

"Today's kindness is like giving me a second chance. Although I am dull-witted, I still have some strength. I am willing to take Supreme Ye as my master."

Not only him, but also the Ice Phoenix Demoness, Wen Jun, and other diners, basically all bowed to Ye Feng with the highest etiquette of their respective sects after waking up.

The way of a teacher is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. Although Ye Feng's dish today did not teach skills or resolve doubts, it solidly completed half of the teaching.

Ba Dao's master was his father, who had died many years ago. He had no mental obstacles to becoming a disciple. Although the others did not have the idea of ​​changing their sect or becoming disciples, they also kept this kindness firmly in their hearts.
