Young Friend Song, Do You Know Fellow Daoist White?
10:40 AM
Song Shuhang also woke up from his hangover. He felt like his head was about to explode, as if someone was punching his temple hard.
He already had a headache due to excessive mental energy... Now, with the added pain of a hangover, the double pain was really unbearable.
[I must quit drinking. I really need to quit drinking recently.] Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Moreover, when he woke up, he discovered something that made him shudder – one of his gloves had fallen off. Fortunately, it hadn't fallen far; the right glove had fallen to the edge of the bed, which he probably grabbed off himself while he was drunk and sleeping.
Luckily, I was fortunate yesterday and didn't activate that weird Appraisal Secret Method, so I didn't have to appraise the bed, blanket, pillow, or anything like that. That's great.
Shuhang quickly picked up the glove and put it on.
Be careful before going to sleep at night from now on, and never dream of taking off your gloves again. It's best to find a way to keep the gloves on your hands before going to sleep.
After getting out of bed, Shuhang began to wash up.
Thinking about what I needed to do today... Today, Fairy Bie Xue will be hosting the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet', won't she?
I hope that the improved physical condition after the Immortal Treasure Banquet will alleviate my headaches.
Just as I was pondering this, a gust of air rushed in through the open window.
An Immortal Ark, invisible to ordinary people, landed above Yu Jiaojiao's villa.
Immediately afterwards, Fairy Bie Xue, carrying a large box of food, descended step by step from the Immortal Ark, stepping through the void. She was still veiled, making it impossible to see her appearance.
After slowly landing at the entrance of Yu Jiaojiao's villa, Fairy Bie Xue called out, "Is my young friend Shuhang here?"
"Yes, Fairy Bie Xue, you've arrived!" Song Shuhang replied.
After quickly washing up, he rushed downstairs to greet Fairy Bie Xue and opened the door for her.
"Good afternoon, young friend Song." Fairy Bie Xue smiled and said, "The timing is perfect. The Immortal Treasure Banquet I promised you is ready... If there are no problems, you can eat it now. If it's left too long, the effects of the Immortal Treasure Banquet will diminish."
Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang immediately said, "Fairy, please come in quickly!" He urged them to hurry and eat the Immortal Delicacy before their effects wore off.
As Fairy entered the villa, she immediately spotted Daoist Horizon sitting on the sofa in the living room.
At this moment, Daoist Horizon glanced at Fairy with a particularly resentful look.
As a close friend of the Fairy, he rarely gets to enjoy the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet' she meticulously prepares—yet now, the Fairy has actually prepared one for Song Shuhang, whom she just met yesterday, and even delivered it to his door. He's so infatuated with her beauty that he forgets his friend!
When Fairy Bie Xue saw Daoist Horizon, the corner of her mouth twitched beneath her veil— Horizon had actually settled in this villa? Did he intend to make a deal with this young friend Shuhang and pass on his skills to him?
Horizon's skill transfer was actually quite good... if you ignore the 'nine deaths and one life' ending.
At this moment, Yu Jiaojiao also came downstairs.
Shuhang's three friends and Mei Yi are still completely drunk; they'll probably sleep until tonight.
*********************
The dining room in Yu Jiaojiao's villa.
Fairy Bie Xue opened the food box and took out the dishes one by one, placing them on the dining table.
One main dish and thirteen side dishes.
Looking at the fourteen dishes, each a work of art, Song Shuhang was filled with awe—he only realized today that the food prepared by cultivators could truly glow!
The 'Immortal Treasure Banquet' prepared by Fairy Bie Xue had a faint glow on the surface of each dish—that was the spiritual energy within the ingredients, guided out by Fairy Bie Xue's Immortal Chef skills, forming a spiritual light on the surface.
This was merely a ' Immortal Treasure Banquet Fairy Bie Xue overnight, its spiritual light faint.
If it were Fairy Bie Xue preparing a 'Immortal Chef Banquet Immortals' for several years, would the spiritual energy transform into dazzling golden light and soar into the sky with each dish? Or even transform into exaggerated phantoms like dragons and Phoenix? Song Shuhang wondered to himself.
The diners' exclamations are one of the highest forms of praise for a chef.
"Please enjoy." Fairy Bie Xue smiled slightly and handed him the main dish.
The main course must be eaten entirely by Shuhang; it cannot be shared with anyone else.
With thirteen side dishes, Song Shuhang only needed to eat about a third of each to be satisfied.
Of course, it's fine to eat it all.
But with Yu Jiaojiao and Daoist Horizon sitting expectantly to the side, how could Song Shuhang possibly enjoy the side dishes all to himself?
Following the instructions of Fairy Bie Xue, Song Shuhang first finished the main course in one go, and then ate the thirteen side dishes in turn.
Although there wasn't the exaggerated enjoyment of stripping down and running wildly on the sea... with each bite of the Immortal Delicacy, Song Shuhang's mind went Blank, with only one thought: eat one more bite, and one more bite.
Without Song Shuhang even realizing it, his physical condition was improving rapidly.
With each bite of food, the power contained within it would quickly spread to every part of his body.
After finishing the 'Immortal Treasure Banquet', Song Shuhang felt a wave of lightness wash over him, as if his body was about to float away.
The subtle swelling sensation I used to feel in my Dantian has now completely disappeared.
Even the stinging pain between my eyebrows had subsided considerably.
At this point, his physique had already reached the Second-Grade Peak.
He even vaguely felt that his body seemed to have become 'younger'. This feeling was not an illusion, but rather the reason why Song Shuhang's lifespan had been slightly increased.
This is the power of the number one Immortal Chef in the Cultivation World — the Immortal Treasure Banquet she painstakingly prepared not only improved Song Shuhang's physique but also extended his lifespan!
"That's great!" Song Shuhang out a soft whistle.
This feeling is even more exhilarating and relaxing than coming out of a room with five times the normal gravity.
He left the dining table and began practicing his boxing in an open space in the living room.
After completing a set of the Vajra Foundation Fist, I felt that every punch was full of power, and the power in my whole body could be easily twisted into one.
At this moment, even without relying on internal energy, the power of a single punch delivered by his bare body is comparable to his full-force punch yesterday!
Moreover... he can now devour 'Spirit Beast Crystal' and cultivate the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique>!
Based on consuming about five Second-Grade Spirit Beast Crystal a day, it would take him at most ten days to condense the 'Pseudo-Innate True Qi' within his body, allowing the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> to transform!
The Immortal Treasure Banquet has already had this effect; if he were to eat another Immortal Chef Banquet after some time, would it directly elevate his physique to the Third-Grade Realm?
Second-Grade Realm possesses the physical strength of the Third-Grade Realm, wouldn't that be just like the Soul Song King and the Dharma King Creation, who have prematurely tempered their physical bodies to the strength of the next rank?
However, the Dharma King Creation cultivated his power bit by bit through the <War Buddha True Body>... while Shuhang was largely achieved through diet.
After finishing a round of boxing, Song Shuhang his hands in thanks to Fairy Bie Xue, saying, "Thank you for the Fairy Immortal Treasure Banquet!"
"No need for thanks, it's just an equal exchange between us," Fairy Bie Xue said with a smile—it pained her to think about it.
The Onion Spirit Crystal that I finally managed to get from Shuhang, which was several hundred years old, was eaten by that stupid snake before I could even use it.
Thinking of this question, Fairy Bie Xue asked, "By the way, young friend Song... do you have any left over from that scallion crystal you gave me last time?"
When Fairy Bie Xue asked this question, the Onion Lady in Song Shuhang's arms was so frightened that even its onion roots went limp—[It's happening again, it's happening again! This time, Song Shuhang doesn't have any crystals on him, so her onion tip is going to be lost!]
Song Shuhang shook his head. "I'm sorry, @#%×Fairy, I only had one crystal before."
"Young friend Shuhang, where did you find that scallion that's several hundred years old? If possible, could you tell me the location?" Fairy Bie Xue asked again. If she knew the place of origin, perhaps she could go look again and maybe find another scallion that was old enough.
"That's no problem. When I encountered that scallion, it was right behind my house at 'Ox Summit Mountain.' It's the Ox Summit Mountain near White Whale Road in Wenzhou City." Song Shuhang added, "However, Fairy, my situation was a bit special... It wasn't that I found the scallion; it just happened to come to me. The scallion might not actually be from Ox Summit Mountain."
Song Shuhang didn't want to pinch the tip of Onion Lady anymore. Onion Lady had suffered a lot recently. Last time, her entire body turned into Golden Coffin, Shuhang felt quite sorry for her.
Therefore, he could only touch upon the topic of Onion Lady briefly.
Fairy Bie Xue nodded. "Thank you, young friend."
She planned to send people back to 'Ox Summit Mountain' to search and see if they could find anything. Of course, Fairy wouldn't go searching herself; she was a very busy person, and such a small matter didn't require her personal attention.
After the Immortal Treasure Banquet, Yu Jiaojiao, Daoist Horizon, and Song Shuhang sat on the sofa, savoring the lingering taste of the Immortal Delicacy.
Fairy Bie Xue put away the food box, then sat down on the sofa, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After thinking for a moment, Fairy Bie Xue chose to ask the question she most wanted to know, "Young friend Song, do you know Fellow Daoist Bai?"
Fellow Daoist Bai?
"Senior Venerable White?" Song Shuhang asked in return.
"Hmm." Fairy Bie Xue nodded.
Song Shuhang blinked, and suddenly remembered something—wiping his sweat, he remembered that Venerable White had once said that Fairy Bie Xue had taken the initiative to become a 'dual cultivation partner' with Venerable White.
However, Venerable White later refused.
Then, in a fit of anger, Fairy Bie Xue never sent Senior White an invitation to the 'Immortal Chef Banquet' again for over four hundred years.
How should I answer this question now?
After thinking for a moment, Shuhang replied, "Yes, Fairy. I do know Senior White. I was the one who went to pick him up when he came out of seclusion."
"I see." Fairy Bie Xue nodded. No wonder this young friend Song, who was only at the Second-Grade Realm, had a connection with Venerable White.
After a pause, Fairy Bie Xue asked expectantly, "Then, young friend Song, do you know where Fellow Daoist Bai is right now?"
