Feng Chu looked at the pool, which was shrouded in mist and emitted a red glow. In the depths of the clear water, many red fish swam around, and the red glow came from these red fish.
These red fish have very beautiful scales. When they swim in the water, the light emitted by their red scales is like a swirling flame.
Firefish, this is Firefish!
"See? I didn't lie to you! The fish is right here," Lou Munan said with a smile.
"That only means you have the ingredients. What about the chef?" Feng Chu said. Even with the best ingredients, you still need a top-notch chef to make the most delicious food!
After he finished speaking, he saw the young man next to him pat his chest, looking quite proud.
"You?" Feng Chu looked surprised.
"Is that not allowed?" Lou Munan laughed, finding Feng Chu's surprised little face quite adorable.
"You can cook?" Feng Chu asked.
Lou Munan looked at the fish in the pool, reached out and used magic to scoop up several, tossing them into his storage space. Then, with a wave of his hand, the mountain in front of him rumbled, and a magnificent palace appeared atop it. Feng Chu looked at the palace, and Lou Munan extended his hand, gesturing an invitation to him:
"Fellow Daoist Feng, please!"
Feng Chu glanced at him a few times and flew towards the palace ahead, with Lou Munan following behind. The two of them entered the palace, and Lou Munan smiled and said to Feng Chu, "Fellow Daoist Feng, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he disappeared.
Feng Chu looked at the large, carved table in front of him and sat down beside it. The table was laden with immortal peaches, fruits, and various fine wines. Feng Chu picked up the wine jug and poured himself a cup. He looked out the window and saw a waterfall cascading down a cliff in the distance, and nearby mountain peaks covered in vibrant flowers; the scenery here was serene and tranquil.
Feng Chu waited patiently for three days.
Feng Chu, who was originally sitting at the table enjoying the scenery, is now sitting cross-legged with his entire body suspended in the air.
Three days is but a moment to the Immortal Emperor; he has plenty of patience.
Three days later, he smelled a delicious aroma, which instantly whetted his appetite.
Lou Munan appeared outside, followed by several puppet maids. The maids brought out dishes one after another, starting with three cold dishes, all appetizers, followed by a soup for the meal, and the main dish was stewed firefish.
Despite its name containing the character for "fire," the Fire Crimson Fish is not actually a fire-attribute creature. Even after its scales are removed, the flesh remains white, resulting in a snow-white fish soup. This pot of soup, with its snow-white fish slices and emerald green herbs and red fruits floating on top, is quite a sight to behold.
"I'm so sorry to have kept Fellow Daoist Feng waiting." Lou Munan said with a smile as he approached.
Feng Chu, holding his wine glass, said, "If it's truly an exquisite delicacy, what's wrong with waiting three more days? But if you're lying to me, I'll turn around and leave."
"How could I dare to lie to Fellow Daoist Feng? Please have a taste." Lou Munan gestured for him to try.
The puppet maidservant reached out to serve Feng Chu soup. Feng Chu looked at the bowl of fish soup in front of him, picked up the spoon, and took a sip.
This soup is incredibly delicious, not just delicious but also incredibly rich. The red croaker isn't a rare delicacy, but its meat is just so good. It's a true gem for satisfying your appetite.
Feng Chu didn't know what method Xu Changfeng had used to prepare it, but in any case, this fish soup was more delicious than any fish soup he had tasted in the past million years.
That was truly a top-notch experience!
He tasted two spoonfuls of the fish soup, then picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of fish.
He gently bit into the fish, the broth filling his mouth, the tender fish sliding smoothly across his tongue, even more delicate than tofu. Feng Chu's light golden eyes shone; he felt every taste bud on his tongue awaken, reveling in a celebratory frenzy. He devoured over a dozen pieces of fish in one go.
Lou Munan watched him intently from the side. Seeing his eyes shining, like a little glutton, as he stuffed pieces of fish into his mouth and chewed with his cheeks puffed out, Lou Munan felt as if he had returned to the past.
Lou Munan originally didn't know how to cook; he only learned to cook and make various desserts for Xiaoyue.
While he took Xiaoyue on a journey through countless worlds, tasting delicacies from all realms, he also took the opportunity to learn some skills.
He secretly learned the method of cooking the scarlet fish.
His spiritual senses were so strong that even if he sat outside spying, no one would know.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lou Munan asked with a smile.
"Not bad. I didn't expect you to have this skill. Who taught you?" Feng Chu said while eating, unable to stop.
"Who taught you that? That person is long gone!" Lou Munan said.
In fact, the person he learned from was just a Nascent Soul cultivator. So many years have passed, even if he were still alive, he would have reincarnated countless times!
"How did you come up with the idea of learning this?" Feng Chu asked.
There are very few immortals who would put their heart and soul into cooking.
"I only learned this recipe because I have a little one at home who loves to eat and is quite a glutton," Lou Munan said.
Feng Chu finished a bowl of fish soup and then ladled out another. Lou Munan smiled at him and also ladled out a bowl for himself. Feng Chu ate with great relish. Just as Feng Chu and Lou Munan finished the pot of fish soup, they heard the sounds of a battle coming from not far away.
Feng Chu and Lou Munan already knew what was happening in this secret realm. A group of people had somehow gotten to the center of the realm and were approaching their location.
Feng Chu's divine sense saw two groups fighting. One of them was a girl in red. The girl in red was pretty and she was holding a long sword. She was already injured. She and her companions were also injured and were at a disadvantage in the fight.
When Feng Chu saw the girl in red, he exclaimed in surprise, remembering an old friend.
————
Above the forest, Liang Hongyan brandished her long sword, unleashing streaks of red sword energy. She and her brothers had come to this secret realm to find medicine to heal their master's injuries.
She never expected that the people of Huanglong Valley would target the Ice Ling Grass that her father needed. Outnumbered, she and her brother could not simply give up their father's life-saving elixir for his sake.
Suddenly, a male cultivator in the early Golden Core stage, dressed in yellow, summoned a precious pearl. The pearl emitted a green light that struck Liang Hongyan. Liang Hongyan screamed and fell into the deep valley, spitting out blood. Before she could even stand up, a flying sword shot towards her, aiming to take her life.
"Third Sister—"
Liang Hongyan's brother shouted, but it was too late to save her.
Just as Liang Hongyan was about to perish, a golden light struck down the flying sword. A terrifying pressure descended, and everyone trembled with fear.
