Ye Feng had already started preparing the third dish.

The third dish we're going to make uses an ingredient that's not commonly seen and rarely eaten – oxtail.

The meat on a cow's tail is actually very delicious. As the cow's only weapon against flies, mosquitoes, and other flying insects, it's no exaggeration to say that this weapon is the most exercised part of the cow's body.

Just as Ye Feng took out the oxtail slicer, everyone's attention was once again focused on him.

This time, Ye Feng didn't do it himself, but instead let the disciples who had performed well earlier do it.

Several disciples gathered sword energy in their fingers and meticulously cut the ox tailbone, exuding a unique and earnest aura that made people want to take a second look.

"I never imagined that the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would all have such micro-management skills?"

"Although the movements were a bit slow, they were meticulous and precise, which shows that he has practiced a lot on a regular basis."

"One Supreme Ye is already invincible. Does this mean the Shu Mountain Sword Sect will produce many more Supreme Yes in the future?"

However, apart from a few Wanhua Sect disciples who had some goodwill towards these people, everyone else's attention was quickly drawn to the sight of the ox tailbone being cut open.

The perfectly cut oxtail bone looks like a blood-red plum blossom from afar, with clear texture and beautiful color, and it looks somewhat like a lamb scorpion.

After Ye Feng and his disciples finished cutting the oxtail bones, they took out a huge frying pan. Some of the kitchen helpers instinctively ran to the bottom of the pan and acted as human coal briquettes.

Heat the pan and oil, then put the chopped oxtail into the frying pan.

"Sizzle..."

The sounds were incessant, and the aroma of beef quickly spread. Ye Feng used his spiritual energy to condense a pair of tongs. Once he sensed which piece of meat was cooked, he used the spiritual energy tongs to flip it over, ensuring that each piece of meat was fried to a golden brown and perfectly caramelized.

Jiang Lu sighed, "Ye Zhizun's unhurried demeanor is truly full of a sense of 'everything is under control.' The more I look at him, the more peaceful my Dao heart feels."

Huanfeng said admiringly, "Some people are influenced by those around them, while others influence those around them. Ye Zhizun is clearly the latter."

The newly recruited disciple of the Myriad Flowers Sect, Fairy Narcissus, said, "It's mainly because of the Daoist aura that Supreme Ye exudes that makes me feel that my Dao heart has become more firm, and I no longer seem to worry about whether the road ahead will be easy."

The newly recruited disciple, Fairy Water Lily, said, "Me too! I seem to see a saying in Supreme Master Ye: 'Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain.'"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out. Zhou Mingyu, a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect, exclaimed in delight, "Isn't that a coincidence?! I saw 'Let him be as arrogant as he wants, the bright moon shines over the great river!'"

The two huddled together excitedly: "What does that mean?"

Zhou Mingyu said confidently, "I don't know, but it seems very profound. If one can comprehend it, one's Dao heart might be elevated to a higher level."

The Water Lily Fairy nodded firmly: "You can contact me using this jade slip number. We'll study it separately, and whoever gains a new understanding should inform the other in time."

Zhou Mingyu happily accepted the jade slip and said, "No problem, this must be an extraordinary adventure."

Ye Feng does possess a certain charisma, which is especially evident when he's cooking.

Absolute confidence brings absolute composure. Every step is perfectly timed, like the exquisite move of a gazelle leaping on its horns. It seems that every action can only be done this way and must be done this way. As long as you do it, you are the one who is closest to the Great Dao.

Ye Feng took out carrots and potatoes from the jade slip, as well as the fourth generation of ascended spirit tomatoes—Miss Tomato, and the fourth generation of ascended spirit onions—Mr. Red Onion.

The suffixes on these two vegetables weren't nicknames given by Ye Feng, but rather essential conditions for their spiritual ascension. Ye Feng strongly suspected that if they continued to ascend, these vegetables might transform into spirits.

Ye Feng then distributed the chopping work to his disciples, which allowed him to relax while giving his disciples a chance to shine—a win-win situation.

Soon the vegetables were cut into uniformly sized pieces, and Ye Feng put them away. By this time, all the meat was cooked, so Ye Feng took out the stew pot again.

Tomatoes are a perfect match for beef brisket, and they're just as good with oxtail. Not only do they add a sweet and sour flavor to the oxtail, but they also tenderize the meat, making it soft, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth.

Pour the pan-fried oxtail into a stew pot that has already come to a boil, add bay leaves, cinnamon, and rosemary, cover and simmer over low heat.

Ye Feng suddenly said, "To stew this dish, the spiritual fire needs to be kept at an extremely low temperature. Tonight, I'll set up a little game for everyone. Regardless of your cultivation level, you can participate in the challenge. Whoever lasts until the end or for two hours will receive an extra serving of food that can give you a maximum of 360 minutes of enlightenment and a minimum of 60 minutes as a small reward."

For a party, participation is the most important thing. Setting up some fun games that people can participate in can make the party even more exciting.

Fire Control Technique is a minor spell that's not just common in the cultivation world, it's ubiquitous. You could say that almost anyone, any cultivator, can use it. Other spells with similar status include Dust Purification Technique and Wind Control Technique.

However, although these techniques are easy to learn, their actual power varies depending on one's own strength.

Those with greater strength will naturally unleash greater power, but this will also increase the difficulty of controlling the technique. Therefore, Ye Feng's rule is actually quite fair.

As soon as Ye Feng said this, everyone showed unprecedented enthusiasm, except for the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Judging by the time, it's clear that what Junior Uncle was talking about must be the Spirit Ascension version of the Twenty-Four Qi. The disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had already finished eating it, so eating it again wouldn't have any effect.

They don't take it seriously, but those people outside are going crazy.

A bald man from the Blood Demon Sect jumped to his feet: "Screw you! That's enlightenment! I'm signing up! Today, I'll either complete the mission or I'll work myself to death here!"

Another bald man stood up and shouted, "I must participate in Ye Zhizun's mini-game. I'm not doing this for enlightenment; I just enjoy playing games."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, wanting to see who was so shameless. They saw the Blood Demon Ancestor stand out brazenly and shamelessly clasp his hands in a fist and palm salute as he walked around.

Huanfeng was initially hesitant, but seeing that even the Blood Demon Ancestor had no shame, why should he have any shame at all?

"Since it's a game, the more people the better. I'll join in the fun too."

This was a draft that Huanfeng had prepared in his mind. Before he could say it out loud, he heard these words, which surprised him.

Looking up, he saw his advisor standing calmly beside the bald Blood Demon Ancestor.

Huanfeng narrowly escaped spitting out blood. He racked his brains for an excuse to participate, but couldn't think of anything better. However, he felt it would be a waste to give up the opportunity for enlightenment. So, with a red face, he stammered, "Add 1."
