Ye Feng didn't care too much about the pork belly; it was mainly used to pass the time while the fat around the edges was marinating. But even this seemingly insignificant dish garnered rave reviews from diners after he made it.
Kaixuan
"This roasted pork belly is flavorful but not greasy, bursting with juice, with a full-bodied taste, a lingering aftertaste, and a tender and smooth texture. It's absolutely delicious."
"The outer layer is so crispy it makes a crunching sound, the fatty meat isn't greasy and the lean meat isn't dry, and the savory flavor fills your mouth, leaving you wanting more. This dish should only exist in heaven; how often can one taste it on earth?"
"It's not even in the heavens. I've been in the heavens for thousands of years and I've never seen this thing."
"Huh? Why is the way they eat at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect different from ours?"
Following the sound, everyone looked over and saw disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect occasionally plucking a leaf from a nearby plant, quickly washing it with a cleansing spell, then rolling up a piece of roasted pork belly in the leaf before stuffing it into their mouths, crunching and munching away with obvious enjoyment.
"Huh? I didn't expect that not only does the food have an internal distribution version, but even the way to eat it has an internal version?"
"What is this plant? Is it tasty?"
The group of beauties from the Myriad Flowers Sect curiously searched their surroundings and indeed found quite a few of those plants. After examining them closely, the Azalea Fairy excitedly said, "I recognize this plant. Its stem is green or purple and bluntly quadrangular; its leaves are broadly ovate or round with a round or broadly wedge-shaped base; its bracts are broadly ovate or nearly round. If I'm not mistaken, this should be called Perilla."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "That's right, the answer is normal. Perilla has the effects of relieving exterior syndromes and dispelling cold, regulating qi and relieving chest tightness, and calming the fetus. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as colds caused by wind and cold, chest tightness and vomiting, and fetal restlessness. At the same time, perilla contains unique active substances and nutrients, and can be used as medicine, food, oil, and spices. Because perilla looks inconspicuous, its flower language is 'ordinary'."
The Cuckoo Fairy asked in confusion, "What is the language of flowers?"
Ye Feng asked, even more puzzled than she was, "Your Myriad Flowers Sect deals with flowers all day long, haven't you ever given them any different meanings?"
The Spring Dew Sect Master frowned, as if a string in her heart had been plucked, yet she couldn't grasp the fleeting inspiration. Li Wushuang looked similar, but instead of pondering it herself, she directly voiced her question.
"Could you explain this more clearly, Master Ye?"
Ye Feng glanced at Qingcheng and noticed that she also looked confused. Thinking about it, this fellow villager probably hadn't even had time for romance when she transmigrated, so it was understandable that she didn't understand the language of flowers. So he said to Li Wushuang, "The language of flowers refers to how people use flowers to express human language, to express certain feelings and desires. Although the language of flowers is silent, it speaks volumes; its meaning and emotional expression are even stronger than words."
Li Wushuang hurriedly asked, "Does every flower have a meaning?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Of course, not only does every flower have a meaning, but even every color of every flower has a different meaning. Take the peony as an example: pink peonies represent completeness, deep affection, wealth, and elegance; white peonies represent the demeanor of a king, as well as people's pursuit and yearning for beautiful things; autumn peonies represent life, expectation, and gentle love; and green peonies represent the expectation of new life."
The Azalea Fairy, standing nearby, quickly raised her hand and excitedly asked, "Where is the azalea, Supreme Master Ye? I love pink azaleas the most."
Ye Feng replied, "People who like pink azaleas are often innocent and pure. Even though azaleas always give people a lively and noisy feeling, it cannot hide the fact that they only bloom during their own season. If your Myriad Flowers Sect really is about entering the Dao through flowers, then the cultivation method you practice cannot be too inclusive. It should have its limitations and know how to exercise restraint. Only in this way can you reach the essence of the Great Dao."
After speaking, seemingly feeling that he had overstepped his bounds, Ye Feng hurriedly said, "What follows is just my personal opinion; take it with a grain of salt and don't take it too seriously."
"boom!!!"
Although Ye Feng's words were short and light, they were like a nuclear bomb dropped directly into the minds of Chunlu Sect Master and Li Wushuang.
The Myriad Flowers Sect has a long history, and its cultivation techniques are numerous, if not overwhelming. Each cultivator has a variety of techniques to choose from based on their natal flower type. These techniques vary in strength, but it's not always the case that the more powerful the technique a cultivator uses, the higher their cultivation level will be. On the contrary, some people with mediocre talent and less-than-ideal cultivation techniques can still achieve miracles and rise rapidly in their cultivation. This has always been a major problem that has plagued the Myriad Flowers Sect.
Ye Feng's short words were like a revelation to Chunlu Sect Master Li Wushuang and the others.
Things that hadn't been noticed before, details that hadn't been paid attention to, were all revealed in Ye Feng's words.
The Spring Dew Sect Master looked at Ye Feng and transmitted his voice, saying, "Supreme Ye, the flower language you mentioned is too important to my Myriad Flowers Sect. If you can tell me all the flower languages you know, not only will the matter of my disciple Youlan in the lower realm be wiped clean, but my Myriad Flowers Sect can also give you a generous reward. Even forming an alliance is not out of the question."
Ye Feng hadn't expected that a problem that had been troubling him for so long could be solved in just a few words. Moreover, judging from her expression, this thing should be very helpful to their cultivation.
Ye Feng didn't intend to hide anything. He had already made a start, and as long as the other party was willing to explore and summarize, they would eventually be able to organize the flower language; it was just a matter of time. However, time is sometimes useless for cultivators, and sometimes it is extremely important. Being able to reach the right path of cultivation a day earlier is absolutely the best thing for a cultivator.
Ye Feng hadn't considered forming an alliance. Even if the other sect was powerful, and although there were many benefits to forming an alliance, Ye Feng felt that having a celestial backer would make the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect feel dependent, which would be a losing proposition.
"I don't know much about the language of flowers either, but I'm willing to teach you everything I know. As for the reward, you can check with the sects in the Immortal Realm to see if they have any edible vegetable seeds or monster eggs. As for forming an alliance, there's no need for that. It's not that I look down on the Myriad Flowers Sect, but I'm afraid that if we form an alliance, we'll have a powerful backer, which might make my Sword Sect disciples dependent and lose their indomitable spirit."
The two finalized the matter through telepathy, and then Ye Feng continued grilling his skewers, while the Spring Dew Sect Master, Li Wushuang, and the other members of the Myriad Flowers Sect continued to ponder Ye Feng's words.
At this point, the person who is most unable to accept this is Jiang Lu.
As fellow immortals from the celestial realm, Jiang Lu was all too aware of the importance of Ye Feng's words to the Myriad Flowers Sect.
At this moment, he was absolutely dumbfounded.
"Holy crap... you think you can resolve a major issue concerning the foundation of your sect in the time it takes to eat a meal? And it's like this? Is it too late for me to reincarnate as a woman?"
