The Myriad Flowers Sect is quite resourceful; they seized the opportunity to launch a low-end version of the Mirror Flower Water Moon, priced at only half the price of the regular Mirror Flower Water Moon. This made many cultivators grateful to the Myriad Flowers Sect. However, it must be said that a sect that can stand for ten thousand years must indeed have its unique strengths.
Today, the Peony Fairy still led her disciples to the mountaintop cottage on time, but the difference was that an even more beautiful and enchanting immortal was also standing inside.
Qi Shuqi, who was staying in the void rift above the mountaintop pavilion, lit up as soon as she saw Qingcheng and couldn't help but exclaim, "Everyone says that the number one beauty in the Immortal Realm is Qingcheng of the Myriad Flowers Sect, and seeing her today, it's truly well-deserved. What do you think about setting Qingcheng up with Ye Feng?"
The Boundless Immortal Emperor glanced down and said, "Don't worry about that. The one I sent to that kid last time was even more beautiful than Qingcheng."
Qi Shuqi was stunned and said, "No way? This Qingcheng is already the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life, is there anyone more beautiful than her?"
After nodding, the Immortal Emperor Wuya looked at Qi Shuqi seriously and said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the one from that day was a little prettier than Qingcheng, and neither of them can compare to you."
"boom!"
Qi Shuqi felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow to the head, her mind reeling, and a blush spread across her entire fair face. When did this jerk ever say such sweet nothings? It was utterly embarrassing!
Seeing Qi Shuqi's reaction, Wuya Immortal Emperor was extremely pleased, thinking to himself that the divine dog egg was really worth the money. This kid's casual idea had such an effect. He should communicate with him more in the future.

Ye Feng in the kitchen had already begun preparing today's dishes, starting with three desserts as usual. Enjoying food is a process of pure pleasure; if you approach it with too much utilitarian motive or are too tense, even the most delicious meal will lose some of its appeal.
Desserts can soothe a person's mood, and sugar can automatically make the brain happy, which is why Ye Feng always puts his appetizers first.
The first dessert he was going to make was called 'Milk and Water Chestnut Flour Cake'. As the name suggests, the main ingredients for this dessert are milk and water chestnut flour.
Ye Feng found the water chestnut in the Heavenly Spring Pool, which is now like a treasure trove, where ingredients that didn't originally exist in this world appear every now and then.
Water chestnut is a herbaceous aquatic plant. This little thing has been recorded in China since ancient times, and its medicinal value is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. It has the effects of quenching thirst, detoxifying alcohol, promoting urination, and promoting lactation. It is mainly used to treat diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, thirst due to summer heat, and excessive drinking.
This little thing can be prepared in many ways. It can be eaten raw like fruit, with a crisp and tender texture and a slightly sweet taste. It can also be cooked in various ways, whether young or old, or processed into water chestnut flour.
Water chestnut meat also has certain anti-cancer effects. The stems and leaves of water chestnut can also be used as green fodder or green manure. Because of its extremely high nutritional value, it is also known as "underwater peanut".
Ancient people believed that eating more water chestnuts could nourish the five internal organs, cure all diseases, and also make one feel light and healthy. It was truly a rare and wonderful thing.
After cleaning the water chestnuts, Ye Feng put them directly into the pot to cook. Once cooked, he broke them open and squeezed out the slightly pinkish water chestnut paste inside.
After adding flour, milk, and yeast, start adding water and stirring until it becomes a paste. Then set it aside to ferment. Finally, steam the fermented batter in a steamer and you're all set.
In terms of appearance alone, this milk-based water chestnut flour cake is only average, even a bit ugly. It looks a lot like frozen tofu or gluten blocks. However, its chewy texture and sweet, rich flavor are enough to make you forget its appearance. And don't forget, these water chestnuts are a product of Tianquan, so the effects are naturally very powerful.
[Perfect-grade milk and water chestnut cake, rated 6.5 stars. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a soft and tender interior, made with water chestnuts, a specialty of Tianquan. Its flavor is fresh and delicate, making it a rare and valuable tonic.]
[Efficacy: After consumption, it can eliminate 30% of toxins from the body; increase physical defense by 20%; improve physical constitution by 15%; has a certain effect on promoting lactation; can store one opportunity for enlightenment for no more than 15 minutes, the time decreases as the realm increases, and the maximum is no less than 3 minutes; can remove 7 strands of a certain mysterious power]
If I remember correctly, this should be the first dessert to be rated 6.5? Ye Feng rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.
...
At this moment, Qingcheng was filled with anticipation for the delicious food at the mountaintop cottage.
The delicious food was one thing, but more importantly, she wanted to see if this fellow villager could offer her a breakthrough opportunity. While a genius like her could advance quickly, getting stuck could be incredibly dangerous. Fortunately, the Peony Fairy was quite generous to her master; all the points recently collected by the Myriad Flowers Sect had been used to exchange for a special dish, hoping that opening a blind box with this dish would increase her breakthrough chances or allow her to find a barrier.
The first dessert surprised all the beauties of the Myriad Flowers Sect. Looking at the pastries in front of them, whose appearance was obviously not up to par, they couldn't help but wonder if this dish was made by Supreme Ye.
"Um... could this be the work of Ye Zhizun's disciple?"
"Don't talk nonsense! If Ye Zhizun hears you, you'll get a beating."
"But this dessert doesn't look as good as the previous desserts. It doesn't even look as good as some ordinary people's food."
Ignoring the whispers of her disciples, Qingcheng picked up a milk-flavored water chestnut cake and began to examine it.
The rustic appearance of the xianggao (fragrant rice cake) has a Syrian war-damaged feel, but its bouncy texture when held in the hand is quite interesting.
As an Earthling, Qingcheng naturally knew more than others. Many delicacies weren't visually appealing due to the ingredients used, but that didn't affect their deliciousness. And naturally, it wouldn't affect their effects either. Qingcheng even boldly guessed that since Ye Feng had served this dish despite its ugly appearance, he wouldn't do anything to ruin his reputation; this dish must possess special medicinal properties and deliciousness.
With her slender, pale fingers, Qingcheng pinched a piece of fragrant cake, played with it for a moment, and then put it into her rosy lips. The taste wasn't as explosive as she had imagined; instead, it was very mild, with even the sweetness being just a faint hint. But the soft, tender, and chewy texture made her want to chew it quickly, and after chewing it several times, Qingcheng actually felt the sweetness in her mouth becoming more and more intense.
Unable to resist, she reached out and took out a second piece, a third piece... until the last piece was gone and she reached out to touch nothing. Only then did Qingcheng belatedly realize that she had finished the whole plate.
"This fellow villager's skills are truly amazing."
Just as Qingcheng was inwardly admiring it, a strange feeling enveloped her, and this strange feeling clearly conveyed a message to her—she could trigger a 3-minute state of enlightenment at any time.
