"I feel clear-headed like never before, as if I could enter a state of enlightenment at any moment."
As soon as Qingcheng finished speaking, a mysterious aura appeared around her.
"Who is this person? They just showed up like that?!"
"Is this due to her own accumulated knowledge or the effects of these delicious foods?"
"Whatever the reason for this epiphany, all I feel now is envy."
The Spring Dew Sect Master and Li Wushuang were already beside Qingcheng when she began her enlightenment. Disturbance is most taboo during enlightenment, and they didn't want their most promising junior's opportunity to be jeopardized. Their powerful auras emanated from them, deterring anyone from approaching.
But their actions were clearly superfluous, because Qingcheng, who had just sat down cross-legged, disappeared in an instant.
Blanch!
Jiang Lu, who had been watching closely, couldn't help but curse, because before Qingcheng disappeared, he clearly felt a powerful pressure emanating from her. A pressure from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
"Just like that, in the time it takes to eat a skewer of barbecue, he leaped from the True Immortal Realm to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm?? This cultivation doesn't follow any rules anymore, does it? I don't want to follow any rules either! Let me advance a level too!"
Looking at the meat skewers in his hand, Jiang Lu didn't care whether his mouth could handle it. He grabbed a handful of Su Ziye leaves and started to gnaw on them, hoping that God would have mercy on him and let him break the rules for once.
But he was obviously overthinking it. Qingcheng's advancement today was due to her accumulated knowledge and skills over the years, as well as the large amount of delicious food Ye Feng gave her to improve her comprehension and chances of advancement. It was only after years of hard work that she was able to achieve what she has today.
It was only because the Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Spring Dew Sect Master, was already in this realm that Qingcheng was directly ejected from the boundary by the Heavenly Dao as soon as she broke through.
The Spring Dew Sect Master looked at Ye Feng with a tense expression. She had been so focused on being on guard that she hadn't really paid attention to her disciple's situation and was unaware that Qingcheng had been expelled from this realm because of her advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
And who else could have gotten rid of Qingcheng right under her nose besides Ye Feng?
Ye Feng didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly said, "Just now, Qingcheng directly advanced due to enlightenment. After advancing, she will be a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The limit of this realm is one Great Luo Golden Immortal, so she was just ejected from the boundary by the Heavenly Dao and returned to the Immortal Realm. She should be at the Myriad Flowers Sect now."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the Spring Dew Sect Master couldn't sit still. No matter how many delicacies Ye Feng had, she had no appetite to eat them. If Qingcheng broke through, their Myriad Flowers Sect would have two Great Luo Immortals, which would be quite an explosive existence in the entire cultivation world.
The Spring Dew Sect Master hurriedly transmitted his voice to Li Wushuang, saying, "Junior Sister, please stay here with your disciples. Qingcheng's opportunities are mostly related to this place. If you stay a little longer, you might also gain some benefits. I'll go back to the Immortal Realm to protect Qingcheng."
After sending a telepathic message to Li Wushuang, the Chunlu Sect Master hurriedly said to Ye Feng, "This matter is of great importance, so I will not linger here any longer. My Wanhua Sect will remember your kindness, Supreme Ye. Farewell for today, and may we meet again someday." After saying this, he transformed into a stream of light and disappeared towards the horizon, leaving Li Wushuang and the others to continue attending the banquet.
Although the guests left early, Ye Feng didn't have any other thoughts; on the contrary, he was quite happy for his fellow villager.
In this seemingly peaceful world where life is constantly in danger, the stronger you are, the more secure you are.
...
...
Ye Feng would not simply serve barbecue to his disciples and guests; grilled pork belly and fried pork belly were merely appetizers.
It's already past 8 p.m. Although the cultivation world doesn't have much of a concept of time, on Earth this time is definitely midnight snack time.
Ye Feng has a good relationship with all his friends. No matter which friend he sends a message to, he will basically get a reply instantly. If he doesn't get a reply, that friend will be extremely annoyed the next day and tell Ye Feng that he was busy and couldn't check his phone. Ye Feng doesn't even need to say anything; they will want to find a block of tofu and kill themselves.
As for the mysterious text message Ye Feng sent that received an instant reply, it was simply—"Come over for a late-night snack."
The first dish Ye Feng was going to make was spicy beef offal soup.
Although "offal" is an insult, adding the word "cow" before it makes it the most tempting late-night snack. However, Ye Feng didn't add pork intestines; no matter how much you wash it, that stuff will always retain some of its unpleasant smell.
Ye Feng set up a large pot, poured in oil, and began preparing the base sauce.
Onions, ginger, and garlic are the standard ingredients that have been used for ages. Add some cilantro with roots, half-circled onions, and various spices, and a big pot of soup base is ready.
Then, all the cleaned and blanched offal was poured into the pot. Once the water boiled again, Ye Feng turned the heat down to a simmer. A low flame is the perfect way to stew any kind of food.
It would take some time to stew, but if the timer was on, it wouldn't take too long. However, Ye Feng didn't want the guests to wait, so he set up another pot and started stir-frying the vegetables.
Some dishes need to be simmered over low heat, while others require the full experience of the most intense flames.
For example, stir-fried squid flowers.
Stir-frying cooks ingredients quickly, preserving their nutrients and crisp texture. As for what stir-frying actually is…
"Wow, that pot is on fire! Did it burn?"
Can anyone... borrow a light?
"You burned Ye Zhizun's dishes but they didn't burn. This must have been intentional."
"Wow, the ingredients in the pot seem to be engulfed in fire. Every time Ye Zhizun manipulates these ingredients to tumble in the air, I can't help but drool."
My mouth is so thirsty!
The biggest characteristic of stir-frying is its speed.
Blanching for 15 seconds, deep-frying for 10 seconds, stir-frying for 15 seconds, plus time acceleration, Ye Feng completed the entire dish in just a moment.
To be honest, if these people hadn't been skilled and had good eyesight, they wouldn't have been able to see how Ye Feng was doing it at all. Before they could even react, the dishes were already on the table.
Ye Feng had indeed placed the dishes on everyone's table.
The table is like a directly held-up cloud, because it blocks the full moonlight tonight.
A silvery moon burned brightly, casting its light upon the back of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, bathing it in a silvery glow.
Jiang Lu strolled over and, also looking at the bright moon in the sky, said to Ye Feng with a smile, "Supreme Ye, you've never been to the Immortal Realm, so you probably don't know much about this moon, right?"
Ye Feng nodded and asked in confusion, "Is there some special significance to the moon?"
Jiang Lu nodded, revealing an unpleasant smile, and chuckled, "Don't be fooled by Ye Zhizun's seemingly holy appearance in the lower realm; it is actually the most filthy place in the entire immortal realm. The pure light it emits is the real burning of an immortal's body."
Ye Feng was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Lu said, "That's the place in the entire Immortal Realm where the most immortals are detained. Almost every criminal immortal from every faction is sent there. Through special methods, they can be used as lamp oil to light up the lamp, and their immortal power will be extracted to obtain some gadgets that can help with cultivation."
