Ye Feng felt really angry. That damned "Red Bean Hot Pot Cake" attribute was something he couldn't resist. Once he was affected, he would want to call someone "Grandma." He seriously suspected that Wu Qiuyu was just trying to take advantage of him.

"This monkey head mushroom has three main attributes: first, it can make the skin more perfect; second, it can raise one level of cultivation regardless of realm; and third, it can directly ascend to the Immortal Realm. Senior Sister, please consider whether you want to keep it for yourself!"

In Ye Feng's mind, if a woman heard about something that could improve her skin, she would go crazy instantly.

But to his utter surprise, Wu Qiuyu not only didn't go crazy, but calmly said, "What use is that for a boring attribute? Just because it makes my skin better, I should ignore its effect on improving my cultivation level? That could allow my Shushan Sword Sect to have four Mahayana Realm cultivators, or even allow someone to ascend directly to the Immortal Realm. Is it really necessary to emphasize a mere attribute that makes my skin better? Am I the kind of person who cares about what's going on?"

hiss……

Listening to Wu Qiuyu's Versailles speech, Ye Feng was somewhat numb. He had calculated everything, but he hadn't anticipated that Wu Qiuyu didn't care about any of this.

Looking at Wu Qiuyu's face, which was even more tender than a freshly peeled egg, he realized that she didn't seem to need this attribute.

After all, that attribute only improves perfection. If it's already perfect, what's the point of improving it?

"Then why don't you come and improve your cultivation level, Senior Sister? Eating two portions will allow you to directly advance to the high-level Mahayana Realm, and eating three portions will allow you to shatter the void and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Wu Qiuyu said calmly, "I can ascend to the Immortal Realm entirely on my own. My path ahead is already crystal clear, so why waste such resources?"

Alright, if the rightful owner doesn't need it, let's just keep it. We can discuss ownership with Senior Brother Xing Zuo later.

Just after Ye Feng put away all four dishes, Wu Qiuyu stretched out her fair and delicate hand and tossed them towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Didn't Senior Sister say she didn't want it? What's going on now?"

Wu Qiuyu said, "I don't believe you didn't leave me some without the blessing of heaven and earth. Something with such powerful attributes must taste amazing. Hurry up and bring it out for me to try."

Seeing Wu Qiuyu's sudden look of curiosity, Ye Feng couldn't help but admire the foodie's dedication to delicious food.

Even though it's a world of cultivation, they don't even look at things that can help them improve their cultivation level, but they desperately want delicious food.

The four small dishes were originally intended for Wu Qiuyu, so he naturally didn't hide them and simply took them out of the jade slip and handed them to her.

Upon opening the jade slip, a rich, almost tangible fragrance began to waft through the air, prompting Wu Qiuyu to take a deep breath.

Upon smelling the familiar aroma of the devilish muscle pepper, Wu Qiuyu was even more satisfied. A day without chili peppers is like a fish out of water, utterly unbearable!

Thanks.

After thanking him, Wu Qiuyu turned and left. Such a good thing should be enjoyed slowly back in his cave.

Then, when the time comes, I'll bring out my treasured first-grade liquor; this kind of life is something even the gods wouldn't trade.

Ye Feng watched Wu Qiuyu leave, then turned to look for Xing Zuo. Just as he turned, he suddenly reached up and grabbed at something, and a vibrant green jade slip appeared in his hand.

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback when he probed with his divine sense, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Inside the jade slip lay four plates, containing the four kinds of monkey head mushrooms that Ye Feng had given to Wu Qiuyu, which had not been blessed by heaven and earth.

However, unlike the ones given to Wu Qiuyu, these four dishes were only half full.

Ye Feng put away the jade slip and flew towards the main hall.

Xing Zuo was cultivating in the main hall. The Shushan Sword Sect now held a superior position and did not have many trivial matters that required him, as the sect leader, to handle.

Upon seeing Ye Feng arrive, Xing Zuo also stopped cultivating.

"What brings you to the main hall? Is there something good again?"

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Of course! I came to see my senior brother as soon as I finished making it. I guarantee it's a good product."

"Just tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense."

"I've made four new dishes. Putting aside their other attributes, the main thing is that they can allow people to bypass cultivation bottlenecks and advance one level. After eating all four dishes, you can directly ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Ye Feng's words seemed casual, but to Xing Zuo, they were like a raging storm.

"Do you really want to say something so earth-shattering and awe-inspiring in such a nonchalant tone?"

Once he had recovered from his shock, Xing Zuo couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Ye Feng shrugged and said, "Senior brother, I don't think this is anything earth-shattering. This dish is just a shortcut. I believe that with the current aptitude of our Shushan Sword Sect disciples, it's only a matter of time before they all ascend to immortality."

Xing Zuo said angrily, "You make it sound so easy. Do you think everyone is like you, a freak, without any bottlenecks or limitations? The higher one's talent, the harder it is to break through. It's normal to be stuck at a bottleneck for decades or even centuries."

"Then, senior brother, how do you think these four dishes should be divided?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, Xing Zuo pondered for a moment.

He and Gu Ming were both stuck at the bottleneck of the Tribulation Realm. Whether based on seniority or strength, they were absolutely qualified to share a portion.

Faced with the opportunity to enter the Mahayana realm, even someone as composed as him felt a moment of excitement.

"Summon the council of elders."

Before long, all the elders had gathered in the main hall.

Wu Qiuyu did not come, citing that she was cultivating and had no time to attend to other matters, but instead handed over her voting rights to Ye Feng.

This is completely unnecessary. Given Ye Feng's status in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, his words carry more weight than the Heavenly Laws, and there is no need for a number of votes.

However, this can be considered a statement, and Xing Zuo has no objection to it.

The people of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect were quite restrained in the face of Ye Feng's four dishes.

Unlike other sects, they didn't fight tooth and nail over it.

Firstly, everyone feels that if there's one or two of these things, there will be three or four more, and those who don't fight for them will eventually get their turn.

Secondly, people's standards have indeed been raised, and they don't really value things that rely on external forces to directly break through bottlenecks.

They used to envy the attribute that allowed them to see where the bottleneck was, but they needed to break through it themselves. They really looked down on this attribute.

Besides, what does it matter if I don't have these things? Sooner or later, I'll be able to cleave the heavens with this three-foot-long sword in my hand.

Xing Zuo coughed lightly and said, "Since no one seems to have much desire for it, how about I make a suggestion? Let's not talk about the attribute that ignores bottlenecks and advances one level, let's talk about the attribute that allows direct ascension."

After listening, Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said, "What does Senior Brother Sect Leader mean...?"
