After Venerable Liuli finished speaking, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared. Following him, several other imposing figures also turned into light and disappeared.
About two hours later, they all reappeared here by coincidence.
The group exchanged glances, then smiled awkwardly but politely.
“I left a talisman here, I have to look for it.”
"I lost one of my prayer beads, I need to find it."
"I think I just lost one of my jade slips."
"It seems like I lost some of my spirit stones just now."
As they were talking, they actually found what they had been talking about in the surrounding grass and beside the rocks.
The group exchanged smiles, and then fell silent again.
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in red flew in from a distance.
With his sharp eyes, Venerable Liuli immediately recognized that this was none other than Immortal Lord Yuanfeng's Daoist companion, Fengwu Xuannu.
"Amitabha Buddha, where is the Mysterious Maiden going?"
He proclaimed a Buddhist chant, and Venerable Lapis Lazuli, knowing full well the answer, asked a question.
Fengwu Xuan Nu chuckled and said, "My husband said frankly that there are treasures in the lower realm that can help people get pregnant and give birth, so after giving instructions in Ancheng, he sent me to the lower realm."
Once this reason was given, even the bigwigs were speechless.
You can't hold a grudge against a woman who's trying to conceive, can you? Besides, it hasn't come to that.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey and all your wishes come true."
Feng Wu Xuan Nu nodded and walked towards the envoy, where she received a pile of forms and began filling them out.
After it was filled in, it turned into a stream of light and disappeared from here.
...
Meanwhile, at the mountaintop cottage, a group of guests were showing off their enormous bowls.
This mutton pilaf is basically a type of mixed rice dish.
This type of cuisine has existed in China for a long time, but it did not develop into a specific cuisine.
A certain country that originated from the universe has somehow created a bibimbap dish, and often claims it is their own original creation, which is quite laughable.
The appeal of rice is enhanced many times over when it is soaked in various side dishes and sauces.
The act of stirring with chopsticks is a process of releasing the various aromas of the food into the nasal cavity.
Finding large chunks of meat hidden inside rice while eating it gives one a sense of discovery, like finding a treasure.
"Master, the food is absolutely delicious! I thought the 'Fried Vegetables Crispy Stew' was the limit, but this mutton pilaf is even more outrageous. Hehehe, I got to eat a big bite of mutton again."
"In terms of effectiveness, this dish is obviously not as good as the 'Fried and Crispy Vegetarian Stew', but in terms of taste, it is just as good."
"Master, can you bring me here to eat every day from now on?"
"Get lost! Do you think this is some cheap, run-down restaurant? This meal alone will cost me half of my life savings!"
"Um... is it too late for me to switch to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect now?"
"I'll chop you up right now, you traitorous bastard."
The Ice Phoenix Witch patted her little belly happily and said with a satisfied look, "Eating this meal is more enjoyable than advancing a cultivation level. Hmm... I'm so full, I feel like there's no room left for anything else."
Wen Jun nodded and said, "In that case, I'll share the last soup with you."
The Ice Phoenix Witch immediately straightened up and said, "I think I can still be saved."
...
For today's fifth dish, Ye Feng did not prepare soup.
Even if the fourth main course is made without any greasiness, the body's most authentic instinctive reaction will still be that it's greasy.
This is what they call saying one thing but doing another.
So for this last course, he prepared a simple, refreshing drink to cut through the richness.
The drink he chose was a delicacy that only high-ranking officials and nobles could enjoy in ancient China—the Fragrant Yangmei Concubine's Drink.
The name "Feizi" doesn't mean that only imperial concubines could drink it; rather, it refers to the fact that the ingredients used include Feizixiao lychee.
Therefore, this drink can also be called Fragrant Bayberry and Lychee Drink.
The main fruits used are bayberries and lychees.
The bayberries are still the same as before, just soaked in some salt water.
Soaking them in salt water causes the high-protein worms to crawl out of the bayberry flesh.
As I said before, if any of these high-protein worms aren't crawling out, it's because they were frozen to death during cold chain transportation.
Ye Feng then added a handful of starch to the basin containing the bayberries. After being washed with both salt water and starch, all impurities, such as small insects and dust, were completely removed.
Put the bayberries into a pot and cook them with rock sugar and a pinch of salt. After simmering for 10 minutes, add the lychee flesh (with the shells and pits removed) into the pot.
Turn off the heat after 3 minutes and remove the fish.
Ye Feng evenly distributed a pot of fragrant bayberry concoction into small bowls, and with a wave of his Ice Condensation Technique, he lowered the temperature.
The clear drink has a slightly reddish tint, like diluted red wine. It doesn't have the sourness of red wine, but is full of the sweet aroma of bayberries and lychees.
Throw a few ice cubes into each bowl, and some clear water splashes up, making it look so tempting to finish a bowl.
[Perfectly Flavored Yangmei Imperial Drink, Rated 5 Stars. The sweet and sour yangmei paired with the fruit from the only lychee tree on this planet creates a synergistic effect, with the aroma being sweet and slightly sour, and the taste being delightfully sweet and sour.]
[Effects: Increases fire resistance by 50% for three days after consumption; provides a cool and refreshing sensation for three hours and keeps the user fully alert; increases agility by 15%]
Upon seeing this attribute, Ye Feng thought of something: if this were brought to Earth, students and office workers could probably buy themselves into the world's richest people.
The saying goes, "Spring drowsiness, autumn fatigue, summer naps, and three months of winter when you can't wake up." How many months in a person's life can they stay absolutely awake?
Huh?
Ye Feng suddenly rubbed his chin. If he remained absolutely conscious, did that mean he could be completely immune to Liang Xicai's stupid control for three hours?
I don't know which realm this thing is hiding in; I've tried to find out about it from various sources but haven't been able to.
If we really find his true form, we'll give him a fake doll and then kill him with a sword.
Then they put his soul into a pot and buried it under the toilet.
...
In a special area filled with red magma, Liang Xicai narrowed his eyes menacingly.
Even someone of his level of understanding could sense that someone was cursing him, and it wasn't just cursing behind his back; it was blatant, open cursing.
Even a fool could tell who was cursing him, but even knowing that, he couldn't do anything about it, which was infuriating!
What infuriates me most is that I don't dare to curse back, or even think about it, otherwise that guy might actually sense my presence and come over to chop me up. The thought of this makes me even angrier.
How could such a nemesis have to emerge of all people, and he's even from the same hometown!
