The Immortal's Kitchen
Lu Yang involuntarily recalled the immortal treasures possessed by the Immortal Sect:
Millet pillow.
Toothpick.
Poisoned chopsticks.
Aged vinegar.
Sheet.
Plate.
It really does look like they accidentally wandered into the kitchen and just grabbed something.
Its power goes without saying; it truly deserves the title of a celestial treasure. However, its origins are a long story.
"As a chef, what I dislike most is having people enter the kitchen and disturb me while I'm cooking. You can understand how that feels, right?" Immortal Fairy asked Lu Yang. As a barbecue chef, Lu Yang was in the same profession as her and should have the same feeling.
Lu Yang actually wanted to say, "Where would I get a kitchen if I just run a roadside barbecue stall?" But considering the unpredictable consequences of not going along with the Immortal Fairy's words, he could only nod and say "yes" against his will.
The Immortal Fairy was pleased that someone could empathize with her. She then sighed, "I didn't expect that even though I closed the door, someone would still break in. It shouldn't be like this."
"Besides the fairy, who else could open this door?" Lu Yang suspected that someone behind the scenes had secretly opened the door, allowing the first leader to take away several treasures as the Immortal Sect's most prized possessions.
"Ying Tianxian and the other three are all fine. I was worried they wouldn't be able to wait to eat my cooking, so I told them how to open the door."
"But they were too formal; not a single person came in."
Yun Zhi secretly shook her head. The seal set by the Immortal Fairy was not difficult to break. As long as the immortals were given enough time, they could figure out how to open it.
How strong is the seal on the kitchen?
The immortal fairy did nothing; she simply stood in front of the door, and the mysterious symbols vanished automatically. The door opened with a sound, revealing the true immortal ruins—the fairy's kitchen.
This should be the first immortal relic discovered in history, which is of great significance.
As expected of the only fairy chef, her kitchen was clean and bright, without any stains, which must have been protected by a dust-removing array.
Upon entering the kitchen, the door closed, cutting off the light source, while the Immortal Light illuminated the kitchen.
"It's so quiet, it feels like we're completely isolated from the outside world."
"Hehe, that's all thanks to the soundproofing array I set up. When I'm handling the ingredients, they always squeak and disturb the customers, so I set up a soundproofing array and an array to block Divine Sense, preventing outsiders from finding out what's going on inside."
Lu Yang's expression was strange; this sounded exactly like a room used to kill someone and silence witnesses.
"Don't touch anything in the kitchen, it's dangerous for you." Yun Zhi knew Lu Yang was very curious, so she specifically warned him to be careful.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang quickly withdrew his outstretched hand.
These are all items used by immortals; the residual shockwave from any one of them could pulverize Lu Yang.
With Yun Zhi there, she could certainly be saved, but ultimately, it's not an experience worth having.
The Immortal Fairy was unconvinced, looking completely confident. "Oh, it's alright. With me protecting Lu Yang, what could possibly happen?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's restless heart calmed down.
"By the way, why are there millet pillows and sheets in your kitchen, fairy?" Lu Yang thought of the two great immortal treasures of the Immortal Sect, which were things that should never be in the kitchen.
The Immortal Fairy said matter-of-factly, "It's perfectly normal. I like cooking, and I also like sleeping. When I'm awake, I study how to cook, and when I'm tired, I lie down and sleep. Under this virtuous cycle, my cooking skills and sleeping abilities are improving rapidly."
As she spoke, the immortal fairy gestured as she flew.
"Nine Immortals advised me not to stay in the kitchen so hard every day, saying that there's no end to cooking skills, and suggested I come out and take a stroll."
"Although outsiders see me as very tired, I feel very relaxed."
"... Is it possible that Jiuchongxian wasn't just seeing you too tired, but simply didn't want you to continue honing your culinary skills?"
The Immortal Fairy asked in surprise, "Why? I clearly let them taste the new dishes as soon as they were invented."
Yun Zhi saw a pile of bottles and jars in the corner of the kitchen. She casually lifted the lid of one of them, and a pungent smell hit her head. She was so startled that she almost thought she was being attacked and slapped it away.
"Senior, what is this?" Yun Zhi asked, pointing to the red liquid in the jade bottle.
"Chili oil? You've never seen it before? I remember the Ask Dao Sect has hot pot!"
Yun Zhi remained silent. Of course she knew about chili oil, but this was the first time she had ever seen chili oil that could provoke her to the point of almost attacking.
I've learned something new.
Lu Yang was even more shocked. What kind of chili oil could be stored for 300,000 years?
"This is chili oil that I refined using countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the essence of the sun, moon, and stars!"
The Immortal Fairy tapped the bottle. "Look at this bottle. I searched for many master craftsmen before I could create this Law Treasure that can hold this chili oil."
"Let's go back to this chili oil. Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance; it's no different from regular chili oil. Just a few drops when stir-frying can elevate the dish to a whole new level."
"Moreover, my chili oil also has the ability to detect lies. I didn't discover this function during the refining process; it must have been discovered by accident."
"How so?"
"Qilin Immortal loves spicy food. After I learned this, I invited him to my home and specially added a few drops of chili oil to the food I cooked for him, while Ying Tianxian and the others didn't add any."
After taking a few bites, Qilin Xian waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he didn't actually like spicy food and asked me to make him another plate.
"Let me tell you, my culinary skills are renowned. Even before I became an immortal, I was extremely popular. For example, the Nine-Headed Immortal has asked me to cook for him many times."
Lu Yang was greatly surprised, thinking to himself that the Nine Heavens Immortal was indeed the first to become an immortal, he had great courage, and in terms of courage alone, he surpassed the likes of Ying Tian Immortal.
"Such a thing is true?"
"Indeed, that was the first time I cooked for Jiuchong Xian. After eating it, his expression changed drastically. Celestial Person was amazed and felt that I had great potential."
The Immortal Fairy spoke with great enthusiasm. Originally, she wasn't very confident in her cooking skills, but this incident gave her immense confidence, allowing her to go further and further on the path of celestial chef, reaching a height that was unprecedented and unparalleled. All the celestial chefs of the past and present would admire her.
It's a pity she died young, otherwise she would have become the patriarch of the spirit chefs, worshipped and fed by people.
At gatherings of immortals, she would often bring up this matter to express her special gratitude to the Nine Heavens Immortal for his support. When the other immortals learned of this, they all gave the Nine Heavens Immortal a kind smile.
Lu Yang asked with a strange expression, "Did the Nine Heavens Immortal really say that?"
The Immortal Fairy stood with her hands on her hips, pouting and her eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly displeased with Lu Yang's questioning.
When has this immortal ever lied to you?
"A few days later, he came to me and asked me to cook for him one more time so he could take him away. I asked him what he was going to do with him, but he gave me an irrelevant answer, saying something like, 'The prisoner is stubborn and we've tried all sorts of torture, but he still won't confess. We need to use some underhanded tactics.'"
