Immortal Chef

The Venerable Seven Cultivations casually replied, "I'll charge you the cost price, 15,000 Rank 7 Spirit Stone. That's only 100 Rank Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone, a very good deal."

One hundred grade Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone doesn't sound like much.

But if you exchange it for Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone, that's 100,000; if you exchange it for Third-Grade Spirit Stone, that's a million!

Previously, Song Shuhang had seen some daily tasks posted by seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group's' group space, with rewards of seven or eight 'Second-Grade Spirit Stone'. Of course, for these daily tasks, Spirit Stone were just a side benefit; the main rewards were more practical items such as cultivation techniques and pills.

However, if we use Second-Grade Spirit Stone as the unit of measurement, one hundred Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone would amount to tens of millions! Song Shuhang suddenly felt that such a large number of Spirit Stone was something he would never see again in his lifetime. Moreover, he still owed Venerable White several Fourth-Grade Spirit Stones.

Seeing Song Shuhang's dazed expression, Yu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I have a feeling that Shuhang is seriously considering how to save money right now."

"Hahaha." Song Shuhang chuckled dryly— Jiaojiao, don't expose my struggles.

As they spoke, Li Yinzhu hid behind Song Shuhang again, clutching the hem of his clothes with her small hands. She rubbed her eyes, seemingly feeling sleepy again. Affected by the cold energy within her body, she was in a state of hibernation, sometimes spending three-quarters of the day sleeping.

After entering the Immortal Ark, Miss Chu Chu found a place to sit down and rest quietly—the previous Mount Tai Sealing Technique had also put a great burden on her body. While under the seal, she had been forcibly resisting the pressure of the Mount Tai Sealing Technique, and her body was already very tired.

Then, the crimson-haired Spirit Emperor appeared. The pressure of Fifth-Grade cultivator made Chu Chu feel breathless, even through the 'space capsule'.

Is this the kind of life Mr. Song Shuhang? Is every day so exciting and stressful?

Compared to the thrill of space travel and facing Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor opponent, Chu Chu's previous adventures seemed insignificant.

To be honest, from the moment she entered the space capsule until she was shot into space by the Fairy Flowing Firefly Bullet, until now, Chu Chu still has a kind of sleepwalking-like illusion.

Chu Chu also had a feeling that if she continued to follow Song Shuhang and live such an exciting life every day, her cultivation level would advance by leaps and bounds before long.

The pressure is immense; if I don't keep pushing myself and work hard, I could die at any moment.

The Venerable Seven Cultivations snapped his fingers, and puppet servants on the Immortal Ark served the group of Shuhang and his companions Spirit-Vein Jade Tea to relieve their fatigue.

The Venerable then inquired, "By the way, young friend Shuhang, I remember you mentioned in the group that you recently wanted to temper your physique, right?"

"Yes, senior. Due to the Whale Swallowing Technique and a slight accident, my mental strength and true energy have far exceeded the limits my body can withstand. If I don't improve my physique, I'm afraid I'll explode," Song Shuhang said dejectedly.

During his battle with the Crimson-Haired Spirit Emperor, he forcibly circulated his true energy, and now he still feels a sense of fullness in his Dantian, and his mental energy is also faintly stinging. Fortunately, at the beginning, his physique was greatly improved during the 'Mount Tai Seal', and he can barely hold on now.

"If you wish to improve your physique, I have a good place for you to cultivate in my cave on the moon," said the Venerable Seven Cultivations. "Perfect timing, there are still two days before the opening of the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations.' Use these two days to temper your physique. Try to raise your physique to a level that won't hold you back before entering the Ancient Tomb."

"A good place to temper one's physique? What kind?" Song Shuhang immediately perked up. His physique was his biggest problem right now. He was willing to try any method that could quickly improve his physique—of course, human body modification was out of the question.

The Venerable Seven Cultivations said, "Not long ago, True Lord Yellow Mountain was researching something called a 'Gravity Regulator,' which is basically a machine that uses a centrifuge to achieve 3 to 10 times the normal gravity. I ordered one, and it's still sitting in my cave. I'll move it out in a bit and put it in a room on the Sixteen floor underground. There, there's a lot of mysterious matter and special lunar energy that can greatly enhance a cultivator's physique. Try training with 2 to 3 times the normal gravity there; it should have a good effect."

"Gravity training? Sounds impressive." Song Shuhang casually asked, "Has the Venerable tried it and seen any results?"

Venerable Seven Cultivations shrugged. "It won't work for me. Even with ten times the gravity, I wouldn't feel a thing when I stand inside. However, I've seen methods of using gravity to cultivate and enhance physical strength in TV shows and novels, which seems to make some sense. Anyway, I'll give it a try. If it works, I can invite fellow Daoists from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' to bring their disciples over for a visit."

Song Shuhang: "..."

******************************

The Immortal Ark moved at a steady pace, not fast.

So when it landed in a cave on the moon, it was already early the next morning, Sunday, July 28th.

On Sunday, Song Shuhang's Daoist name was Kindheart Cultivator.

There was something strange about this Daoist name; it sounded like "I'm a good person." Song Shuhang decided to remove it from the list of seven Daoist names in a few days.

Inside the Venerable Seven Cultivations's cave, there are various kinds of barriers and formations, and the gravity and oxygen levels are similar to those on Earth. Once inside the cave, spacesuits and space capsules can be left aside.

Li Yinzhu had fallen into a deep sleep while leaning against Song Shuhang, without anyone noticing.

After entering the lunar orbit, Yu Jiaojiao entered a meditation and cultivation mode.

She might take this opportunity to go into seclusion for a while— the Moonlight and the mysterious energy emanating from the moon are incredibly effective for demon cultivators; cultivating here would be like gaining double the experience for Yu Jiaojiao.

To make the schedule easier, Venerable Seven Cultivations arranged a room for each of Song Shuhang and the others so they could rest for the night.

At 8 a. m., because of yesterday's fatigue, Song Shuhang slept a little longer.

He then woke up in excruciating pain from a violent impact to his lower abdomen—a pain that made Shuhang feel like his stomach was churning.

Who is it that's attacking my lower abdomen so fiercely so early in the morning?

Song Shuhang suddenly opened his eyes, and then he noticed a tender scallion with its onion tip pinched off, hopping around happily.

"I can feel it! I can feel it! This place is filled with a comforting power, and the power is overflowing continuously. I can quickly recover to my best state here and transform into human form again!" The giant scallion with hands and feet shouted excitedly.

Then she bounced around and accidentally bounced onto Song Shuhang's stomach... another sharp pain. Heaven knows how powerful the impact of Onion Lady's bounces could be.

"Onion Lady, can't you wake me up in a gentler way?" Song Shuhang said with a wry smile, reaching out to grab the Enlightenment Stone.

"Let me go, let me go! Let me absorb the power here, and I'll be able to return to human form soon!" Onion Lady cried out.

"Stop fooling around." Song Shuhang stuffed Onion Lady into his pocket. "If you keep fooling around, I'll cut off your newly grown Onion Sprout."

Onion Lady immediately fell silent.

After leaving the room, you'll find the dining area of Venerable Seven Cultivations.

At this moment, the Venerable One was holding a newspaper and reading it with great interest.

Upon seeing Song Shuhang, Venerable Seven Cultivations smiled and said, "Good morning, young friend Shuhang. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Thank you, Venerable One. I slept soundly until dawn." Song Shuhang asked, "Is everyone else still asleep?"

"Well, apart from little friend Jiaojiao who is still meditating, the other two girls are still sleeping," said Venerable Seven Cultivations. "What would you like for breakfast?"

"Anything is fine, I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now." Song Shuhang rubbed his stomach.

Thanks to the Whale Swallowing Technique, he now felt extremely hungry, so hungry that his stomach even tasted bitter.

"Then why not try the culinary skills of my family's Immortal Chef? Perhaps, while enjoying breakfast, you might gain something extra." Venerable Seven Cultivations stood up, opened the sealed food boxes on the table, revealing various mouthwatering delicacies inside.

"Immortal Chef?" Song Shuhang immediately thought of the Immortal Chef Banquet and Fairy Bie Xue: "Is it something like Fairy Bie Xue's?"

Venerable Seven Cultivations: "Indeed... Of course, my family's Immortal Chef's skills are far inferior to those of Fairy Bie Xue, but the taste is still excellent."

"Then I won't be polite." Song Shuhang had been hearing from the seniors in the group how delicious and enjoyable 'Fairy Bie Xue's' Immortal Chef Banquet was.

What kind of flavors do the delicacies prepared by the Immortal Chef of the Venerable Seven Cultivations's household taste like?

He picked up his chopsticks and reached for what appeared to be a plate of steak... He was very hungry, and such large pieces of food looked like they would fill him up.

Large pieces of steak, fragrant but not greasy, with a melt-in-your-mouth feel.

Moreover, whether it was just his imagination or not, after swallowing a whole steak, Song Shuhang actually felt a subtle improvement in his physical condition.

The Venerable Seven Cultivations chuckled and asked, "Have you felt the effects?"

"Your physique has improved?" Song Shuhang. It was only the time it took to eat a steak, yet his physique had improved. Although the improvement was very small, it was roughly equivalent to the effect of practicing the <Vajra Foundation Fist> once.

"This is the skill of Immortal Chef. Although the overall effect cannot compare to the strength of elixirs or potions, it is superior in taste and has no side effects. In terms of ingredients, it is also much easier to obtain than elixirs," said Venerable Seven Cultivations. "However, my Immortal Chef's skill is not high, and the increase in your physique can only be this small."

"I'm already very satisfied," Song Shuhang sighed, beginning to look forward to Immortal Chef Banquet Fairy Bie Xue's 'Immortal Chef Banquet of Immortals.' He wondered how much change it would bring him.

After Song Shuhang finished breakfast, Venerable Seven Cultivations put down his newspaper again, stretched his body, and said, "Young friend Shuhang, if you've finished eating, how about we go practice?"

"Us? Me and Senior Seven Cultivations?" Song Shuhang.

"Yes, let's practice together!"

"No problem, senior!" Song Shuhang jumped up—was Senior Seven Cultivations guiding his cultivation?

This is what they call getting special treatment!
