Lu Yang Was Gone
Lu Yang deeply regretted having the idea of going into the kitchen.
After receiving the Immortal Fairy's mark, he felt a connection to the kitchen, able to enter it with a single thought.
Then Lu Yang had an idea and actually went into the kitchen.
Lu Yang took off running and suddenly pushed open the door.
Unfortunately, he was only a mortal with a low level of cultivation, and his act of pushing open the door was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree—completely useless.
Lu Yang pushed the door with all his might, but it wouldn't budge.
Let alone his mortal body, even if he had a celestial body, it wouldn't matter. Otherwise, why didn't Ying Tianxian and the other three leave back then?
Why did Ying Tianxian and the others secretly beat up the Nine-Headed Immortal who had encouraged the Immortal Fairy to cook after they woke up?
There are reasons for all of this.
"Junior Brother, why are you running?" Yun Zhi, puzzled.
The Immortal Fairy is the only one among the Five Immortals of High Antiquity who can cook; she is a unique celestial chef in the world. Given the opportunity to eat her food, why not cherish it?
Moreover, the High Antiquity traditions were interrupted, and no one knows the cooking style of cultivators in High Antiquity times. Only immortal fairies, living fossils, can restore the High Antiquity cooking techniques.
Last time the Five Elements Sect visited, the Immortal Fairy painstakingly prepared a large meal, but before Yun Zhi could even eat, the enraged Five Elements Sect Master overturned the table.
As for adding salt for twenty seconds, that's probably a cooking habit from High Antiquity times.
The Immortal Cult's dangerous magical kitchen utensils were likely refined by the Immortal Cult after they acquired them; the original utensils were not so dangerous.
Moreover, this is a rare learning opportunity that should be cherished.
A spirit chef is very popular wherever he goes. Yun Zhi believes that if Lu Yang learns even a tenth or twentyth of the Immortal Fairy's skill, he will be able to move freely throughout the Central Continent.
Lu Yang was about to speak and explain when he was interrupted by the Immortal Fairy.
"That's right, why are you running away? It's rare for me, an immortal, to be willing to cook for you. This is a privilege reserved for immortals."
The Immortal Fairy frowned, dissatisfied with Lu Yang's reaction, but then, as if she had suddenly realized something, she understood.
"Oh--I understand. You feel that my status is too high, and I shouldn't be cooking for you like this, so you feel guilty eating it, right?"
"Oh, it's alright. I don't stand on ceremony. You've been with me for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"Come, let me use your body for a bit. I'll return it to you after I've cooked, so it won't delay your meal!"
The Immortal Fairy cannot touch a physical body and needs to temporarily borrow Lu Yang's body.
"Junior brother, let the senior use it." The senior sister thought the Immortal Fairy's request was reasonable.
Lu Yang wanted to resist, but he was stunned for a moment when he heard what his senior sister said.
In that moment of stunned silence, his body was snatched away by the overjoyed Immortal Fairy.
Lu Yang could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Fairy used his body.
"This body isn't strong enough; it can't even withstand an explosion, so it can't handle high-class food," the Immortal Fairy said with a hint of disdain.
Lu Yang's body is absolutely top-tier in the Golden Core stage, but this level is far from enough for the Immortal Fairy.
"Wait a minute, why would cooking cause an explosion?" Lu Yang asked alertly.
The Immortal Fairy wondered why Lu Yang reacted this way, "It's perfectly normal. Isn't it said that the most exquisite flavors explode on your taste buds the moment they enter your mouth?"
Lu Yang: "..."
The eldest sister nodded secretly, noting down what the Immortal Fairy had said.
These must all be the words of wisdom from a senior fairy, and she, as a junior, should humbly learn from them.
"Study hard this time, and I can train you to be my successor!" The first leader of the Immortal Clan said to the second leader of the Immortal Clan.
The second-in-command of the Immortal Lineage was filled with trepidation.
"Your body isn't suited for cooking complicated dishes. Let me think... I'll make scrambled eggs with tomatoes!" The Immortal Fairy thought for a moment and quickly made her decision.
Lu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief. He should have said so earlier. He knew how to cook this dish too; it was very simple. The Immortal Fairy wouldn't be in any trouble.
"What's in this jar again?" The Immortal Fairy lifted the lid of the medicine jar, and a pungent smell hit her face.
Within the mental space, Lu Yang felt a sudden dizziness, swayed twice, and then fainted.
What's in the jar...?
The Immortal Fairy was so focused on cooking that she didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Yang.
Currently, the Immortal Fairy has control over Lu Yang's body. Whether Lu Yang is unconscious or not will not affect the Immortal Fairy's use of Lu Yang's body.
"Look, when you're beating eggs, you have to stir them vigorously, like this." The Immortal Fairy explained the cooking steps, while the Eldest Sister listened attentively.
"The egg liquid is used to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the remaining eggshells can be used to make soup. This is the principle behind the saying 'the original soup helps digest the original food.'"
The eldest sister nodded from time to time, feeling that the cooking methods in High Antiquity times were really different from those of today, and there was still a lot to learn.
Her current level of cultivation is not only due to her comprehension, but also inseparable from her good habit of being diligent and inquisitive.
However, there is very little for her to learn these days.
When Lu Yang slowly woke up, he found himself sitting at the dining table, with the food prepared by the Immortal Fairy in front of him, and his senior sister sitting elegantly opposite him.
"You're awake? You were busy running around in Ancient Locust Town, managing everything, and you didn't even rest after you got back. You were fighting with Tao Yaoye, so you must have been too tired and fell asleep." The Immortal Fairy was worried that Lu Yang didn't know the situation, so she kindly explained.
The immortal fairy is a master cook. Her scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a beautiful mix of red and yellow, with an enticing and dazzling color and an irresistible aroma that makes your mouth water.
A simple home-style dish was transformed into something amazing by the Immortal Fairy.
As for the eggshell soup placed to the side, Lu Yang automatically ignored it.
Lu Yang's appetite was whetted, so he picked up a piece of tomato and put it in his mouth.
"How is it? Is the egg delicious?" The Immortal Fairy looked at Lu Yang with anticipation.
"Hmm, an egg?" Lu Yang remembered that the egg he had just picked up was red.
"Yes, I put some chili powder in the eggs."
Lu Yang: "..."
Fairy, how much chili powder did you put in to make the egg as red as a tomato?
His vision went black as he fainted from the spiciness.
"Why is she asleep again... Oh dear, could it be a chili allergy?" The Immortal Fairy was very worried.
Yun Zhi remembered that Lu Yang could eat spicy food, and analyzed from the side, "It's probably because the food contained too much spiritual energy, and he fainted from the impact. But this is also a good thing, as it will help him gradually absorb the spiritual energy in the food and consolidate his cultivation."
Chili powder is a treasured item kept by the fairy; it is a true celestial delicacy.
"I see. By the way, how was my cooking?"
Yun Zhi gently picked up a piece of egg, chewed it slowly, and the spiciness surged out. The spiritual power contained in the chili peppers impacted her taste buds, leaving her with an unforgettable aftertaste.
"Extremely delicious."
"That's good. I thought my cooking skills had deteriorated."
The second update will be around 11 PM.
