Lu Yang couldn’t help but recall the immortal treasures held by the Immortal Sect:
The Yellow Millet Dream Pillow.
Toothpick.
Poisoned chopsticks.
Aged vinegar.
Bed sheet.
Plate.
It indeed looked like someone had wandered into a kitchen and casually taken some items away.
Their power was unquestionable. As long as they were called immortal treasures, their origins were inevitably complicated.
“As a chef, the thing I dislike the most is people entering my kitchen and disturbing me while I’m cooking. You can understand this feeling, right?” The Immortal asked Lu Yang. As a barbecue master, Lu Yang should have the same feelings.
What Lu Yang really wanted to say was that as a roadside barbecue vendor, he didn’t have a kitchen. But considering the unpredictable consequences of not going along with the Immortal’s words, he could only reluctantly nod and say, “Yes.”
The Immortal was pleased that someone could empathize with her. She then sighed, “I didn’t expect that even after I closed the door, someone still broke in. It shouldn’t have happened.”
“Besides the Immortal, who else can open this door?” Lu Yang suspected that someone behind the scenes had secretly opened the door, allowing the first generation sect leader to take away a few treasures as the sect’s treasures.
“The Heavenly Immortals could all do it. I was afraid they couldn’t wait for my cooking, so I told them how to open the door.”
“But they were all too polite, none of them came in.”
Yun Zhi shook her head secretly. The seal set by the Immortal was not difficult to break. Given enough time, any immortal could figure out how to open it.
How strong could the seal on a kitchen be?
The Immortal didn’t do anything. She just stood in front of the door, and the mysterious symbols automatically dissipated. The door opened to reveal the real immortal relic – the Immortal’s kitchen.
This should be the first immortal relic to be opened in history, which was of great significance.
The Immortal was indeed the only immortal chef. Her kitchen was clean and bright, without any stains. There must be a dust removal formation.
After entering the kitchen, the door closed, cutting off the light source. The light of immortality illuminated the kitchen.
“It’s so quiet, it feels like it’s completely isolated from the outside world.”
“Hehe, thanks to my soundproofing formation. When I’m preparing ingredients, they always make noise and disturb the guests. So, I set up a soundproofing formation and a formation to block divine consciousness, preventing the outside world from detecting what’s happening inside.”
Lu Yang looked strange. This sounded like a room used for killing and silencing people.
“Don’t touch anything in the kitchen, it’s dangerous for you.” Yun Zhi, knowing Lu Yang’s curiosity, specifically warned him to be careful.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang quickly withdrew his outstretched hand.
These were all items used by immortals. The residual waves emitted by any of them could shatter Lu Yang into pieces.
With Yun Zhi there, he could naturally be saved, but this was not an experience worth having.
The Immortal didn’t care, she looked confident: “Oh, it’s fine. With me protecting Lu Yang, what could go wrong?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang’s restless heart calmed down.
“By the way, why do you have a Yellow Millet Dream Pillow and a bed sheet in your kitchen?” Lu Yang remembered the two great immortal treasures of the Immortal Sect, which should not appear in the kitchen at all.
The Immortal said naturally: “It’s very normal. I like cooking and sleeping. After waking up, I research how to cook. When I’m tired, I lie down and sleep. In this virtuous cycle, my cooking skills and sleeping level are rapidly improving.”
As she spoke, the Immortal mimicked the action of flying.
“The Ninefold Immortal advised me not to stay in the kitchen all the time. There’s no end to culinary skills, and he suggested I should go out and take a walk.”
“Although others think I’m tired, I feel very relaxed.”
“…Is it possible that the Ninefold Immortal didn’t think you were too tired, he just didn’t want you to continue studying culinary skills.”
The Immortal was surprised: “Why? I always let them taste my new dishes first.”
Yun Zhi saw a pile of bottles and jars in the corner of the kitchen. She casually lifted the lid of one of them. The pungent smell directly hit her, startling her so much that she almost thought she was under attack and struck out.
“Senior, what is this?” Yun Zhi pointed to the red liquid in the jade bottle and asked.
“Chili oil, haven’t you seen it? I remember there’s hot pot in the Seek Tao Sect, right?”
Yun Zhi was silent. Of course, she knew what chili oil was, but she had never seen chili oil that could almost provoke her to attack.
It was an eye-opener.
Lu Yang was even more shocked. What kind of chili oil could be stored for three hundred thousand years?
“This is chili oil that I refined using countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and the essence of the sun, moon, and stars!”
The Immortal tapped the bottle: “Look at this bottle. I found many refining masters to make a magical artifact that could hold this chili oil.”
“Speaking of this chili oil, although it looks ordinary and no different from regular chili oil, adding a few drops when cooking can elevate the dish to another level.”
“Moreover, my chili oil has the ability to discern lies. I didn’t notice this function when I was refining it. It must have been an accidental feature.”
“How so?”
“The Kylin Immortal loves spicy food. After I learned this, I invited him to my house as a guest and specifically added a few drops of chili oil to the food I cooked for him. The Heavenly Immortals didn’t get any.””After a few bites, the Kylin Immortal waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he actually didn’t like spicy food and asked me to make another dish.”
“I’m telling you, my cooking skills are universally acclaimed. Even before I became an immortal, I was extremely popular. For instance, the Ninefold Immortal often asked me to cook for him.”
Lu Yang was shocked, thinking to himself that the Ninefold Immortal, being the first to become an immortal, truly had a grandeur. Just in terms of courage, he surpassed many like the Heavenly Immortal.
“Really? Something like this happened?”
“Indeed, the first time I cooked for the Ninefold Immortal, his expression changed dramatically after eating. He was astounded and felt that I had great potential.”
The Immortal Maiden spoke with a radiant expression. Originally, she wasn’t very confident in her cooking skills, but this incident gave her immense confidence. It led her further down the path of immortal cooking, reaching a height that no one before or after her could match. All the spiritual chefs throughout history had to admire her.
It was a pity that she died early. Otherwise, she would have become the ancestral master of spiritual cooking, worshipped by people, and enjoyed the offerings of incense.
At the gatherings of immortals, she often brought up this incident, specifically thanking the Ninefold Immortal for his support. When the other immortals learned about this, they all showed friendly smiles towards the Ninefold Immortal.
Lu Yang looked puzzled, “Did the Ninefold Immortal really say that?”
The Immortal Maiden put her hands on her hips, pouted, and slightly furrowed her brows, feeling dissatisfied with Lu Yang’s doubt.
“When have I ever lied to you?”
“A few days later, he came to me and asked me to cook for him again. He wanted to take it away. When I asked him what he was going to do with it, he avoided the question and said something like ‘the criminal is stubborn, no punishment works, we need to use some unconventional methods’.”
