Chapter 316: Lu Yang Is Gone

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

Lu Yang deeply regretted his earlier thought of entering the kitchen.

After receiving the mark of Everlasting Fairy, he felt a connection to the kitchen and could enter it with just a thought.

Then, with a single thought, Lu Yang indeed entered the kitchen.

Lu Yang ran desperately and pushed open the door.

However, being a mere mortal with a low cultivation level, pushing the door was as futile as a mayfly trying to shake a tree, completely useless.

Lu Yang used all his strength to push the door, but it didn’t budge an inch.

Even an Immortal would be of no use here; otherwise, why didn’t the four of them, including Ying Tian Immortal, leave at the time?

Why did Ying Tian Immortal and the others beat up Nonuple Immortal who encouraged Everlasting Fairy to cook after they woke up?

There are reasons for everything.

“Little junior brother, why are you running?” Yun Zhi was puzzled.

Everlasting Fairy is the only one among The Five Ancient Immortals who can cook, a unique celestial chef. Why not cherish the opportunity to eat her food?

Moreover, with the ancient inheritance lost, no one knows the cooking style of ancient cultivators, only a living fossil like Everlasting Fairy can restore the ancient culinary arts.

Last time, when the Five Elements Sect visited, Everlasting Fairy painstakingly prepared a table full of food. Yun Zhi didn’t get a chance to eat before the furious sect master of the Five Elements Sect overturned the table.

As for adding salt for twenty seconds, it should be an ancient cooking habit.

The dangerous celestial kitchenware of the Undying Sect should have been refined by the Undying Sect after they acquired them; the original kitchenware was not so dangerous.

Moreover, this is a rare learning opportunity that should be cherished.

A spiritual chef is always welcomed wherever they go. Yun Zhi thought that if Lu Yang could learn even ten or twenty percent of Everlasting Fairy’s skills, he could traverse the central continent unimpeded.

Just as Lu Yang was about to explain, Everlasting Fairy interrupted him.

“Yes, why are you running? It’s rare for me to be willing to cook for you; this is a privilege only for immortals.”

Everlasting Fairy frowned, dissatisfied with Lu Yang’s reaction, but then she seemed to understand something and suddenly realized.

“Oh—I get it. You think my status is too high to lower myself to cook for you, and you feel guilty eating it, right?”

“Oh, it’s okay. I’m not that particular. You’ve been with me for so long; don’t you know what kind of person I am?”

“Come, let me use your body. I’ll give it back after cooking, it won’t delay your meal!”

Everlasting Fairy needed to temporarily borrow Lu Yang’s body since she couldn’t interact with the physical world.

“Little junior brother, let the senior use it,” Eldest Senior Sister found Everlasting Fairy’s request reasonable.

Lu Yang still wanted to resist, but after hearing Eldest Senior Sister, he hesitated.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Everlasting Fairy happily took over his body.

Lu Yang could only watch as Everlasting Fairy used his body.

“This body isn’t strong enough; it can’t even withstand explosions, so you can’t eat too high-level dishes,” Everlasting Fairy said with a bit of disdain.

Lu Yang’s body was indeed among the strongest in the Golden Core Stage, but this level was far from enough for Everlasting Fairy.

“Wait, why are there explosions involved in cooking?” Lu Yang was alarmed.

Everlasting Fairy found Lu Yang’s reaction strange: “It’s a normal thing. Isn’t it said that the ultimate taste explodes on your taste buds the moment you take a bite?”

Lu Yang: “…”

Eldest Senior Sister nodded secretly, taking note of what Everlasting Fairy said.

These must be the experiences of the senior fairy, and she, as a junior, should humbly learn.

“This time, learn well, and I can consider making you my heir!” The head of the Everlasting Lineage said to the second in command of the Everlasting Lineage.

The second in command of the Everlasting Lineage was filled with trepidation.

“Your body can’t handle complex dishes, let me think, yes, let’s make stir-fried tomatoes with eggs!” Everlasting Fairy thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Lu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief. He could cook this dish too, it was very simple, and nothing would go wrong with Everlasting Fairy cooking it.

“What’s in this jar?” Everlasting Fairy opened the medicine jar, and a pungent smell hit.

In the spiritual space, Lu Yang only felt a dizziness, swayed twice, and fainted.

“What’s in the jar…”

Everlasting Fairy was wholeheartedly cooking and did not notice Lu Yang’s abnormality.

Now the control of Lu Yang’s body was with Everlasting Fairy, whether Lu Yang was unconscious or not did not affect Everlasting Fairy’s use of Lu Yang’s body.

“Look, you have to stir vigorously when beating the eggs, like this.” Everlasting Fairy explained the cooking steps, and Eldest Senior Sister listened attentively.

“Use the egg liquid to make stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, and the remaining eggshells can be used to make soup. This is what is meant by using the original soup to neutralize the original food.”

Eldest Senior Sister nodded occasionally, feeling that the cooking methods of ancient times were indeed very different from now, with much to learn.

Her current cultivation level was not just due to her understanding but also her habit of diligent study and questioning.

However, there were now very few things she needed to learn.

…

When Lu Yang slowly woke up, he found himself sitting at the dining table with the dishes prepared by Everlasting Fairy in front of him. Across the table sat the elegantly seated Eldest Senior Sister.

“You’re awake? You’ve been busy managing everything in Ancient Locust Town, then fighting with Peach Blossom Leaf without rest. You must have been too tired and fell asleep.” Everlasting Fairy explained kindly, worried that Lu Yang might not understand the situation.

Everlasting Fairy’s cooking skills were excellent. The stir-fried tomatoes with eggs were red and yellow, vibrant and eye-catching, with an alluring aroma that made one’s mouth water.

A simple home-cooked dish was made to look astonishing by Everlasting Fairy.

As for the eggshell soup on the side, Lu Yang automatically ignored it.

Lu Yang’s appetite was whetted, and he picked up a piece of tomato and put it in his mouth.

“How is it? Are the eggs good?” Everlasting Fairy looked at Lu Yang expectantly.

“Well, eggs?” Lu Yang remembered picking up a red piece just now.

“Yes, I added some chili powder to the eggs.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Fairy, how much chili powder did you add to make the eggs as red as tomatoes!

He blacked out from the spiciness.

“How did he fall asleep again… Could it be an allergy to chili?” Everlasting Fairy was very worried.

Yun Zhi remembered that Lu Yang could eat spicy food and analyzed from the side: “Maybe the spiritual power contained in the food was too much, causing him to faint from the impact, but this is also a good thing, helping to gradually absorb the spiritual power in the food and consolidate his cultivation.”

The chili powder was a treasure cherished by the fairy, truly an immortal delicacy.

“I see. By the way, how was my cooking?”

Yun Zhi gently picked up a piece of egg, chewed it carefully, and the spicy flavor surged, the spiritual power in the chili impacting her taste buds, leaving an endless aftertaste.

“Extremely delicious.”

“That’s good. I was worried my cooking skills had deteriorated.”
