Chapter 317: Chapter 316 Lu Yang is gone_1

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

After obtaining the imprint of Fairy Eternity, he felt a connection to the kitchen and could simply enter it with a thought.

And so, with a thought, Lu Yang truly did enter the kitchen.

Lu Yang attempted to run, forcefully pushing again the door.

However, as a mortal, his low cultivation level made opening the door as impossible as a mayfly shaking a large tree.

Even with his full strength, he couldn’t budge the door.

It didn’t matter that he was a mortal; even an immortal wouldn’t make a difference. Why else could Yingtian Immortal and his group not leave?

And why did they secretly beat up Immortal Jiuchong, who encouraged Fairy Eternity to cook, after they woke up?

Everything had its reasons.

“Junior Brother, why are you running?” Yun Zhi was bewildered.

Fairy Eternity was the only one among the Five Immortals of the Ancients that could cook; she was the unique Immortal Chef. Why wouldn’t he treasure this opportunity?

Moreover, the ancient inheritance was cut off, and nobody knew the cooking style of the ancient cultivators; only Fairy Eternity, a living fossil, could replicate the ancient culinary arts.

Last time, when the Five Elements Sect visited, Fairy Eternity worked hard to prepare a large meal, but Yun Zhi hadn’t had a chance to taste it before the infuriated Sect Leader overturned the table.

Regarding the matter of adding salt for twenty seconds, it must have been an ancient cooking habit.

The dangerous cooking utensils of the Eternity Sect became so after they were given to the sect and were refined. Originally, the utensils weren’t dangerous.

Additionally, this was a rare learning opportunity, and he should treasure it.

An Immortal Cook, regardless of where they went, would always be welcomed. If Lu Yang could learn even a tenth of Fairy Eternity’s skills, he could access anywhere in the Central Continent with ease.

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

“Indeed, why are you running? This is a rare opportunity for me to cook for you. This is a privilege reserved for immortals.”

Fairy Eternity furrowed her brow, dissatisfied with Lu Yang’s reaction. Then, it seemed as if she had an epiphany.

“Oh, I get it now. You think you’re beneath me, and you’re feeling guilty about having me cook for you, right?”

“No problem at all. I don’t care about these trivial formalities. You’ve been with me all this time. Do you still not know what kind of person I am?”

“Come on, let me borrow your body to cook, and I’ll return it immediately so it doesn’t interfere with your meals!”

Fairy Eternity was unable to touch physical objects and needed to borrow Lu Yang’s body temporarily.

“Junior Brother, let her borrow it,” Eldest Senior Sister said, thinking Fairy Eternity’s request was reasonable.

Lu Yang wanted to resist, but upon hearing Eldest Senior Sister’s words, he was momentarily stunned.

Seizing the opportunity, Fairy Eternity took over Lu Yang’s body, much to her delight.

Lu Yang could only watch helplessly as Fairy Eternity used his body.

“This body isn’t strong enough. It can’t withstand an explosion, let alone digest high-level dishes,” Fairy Eternity commented with slight disdain.

Lu Yang’s body was top-tier within the Golden Core Stage, but that was far insufficient for Fairy Eternity.

“Wait, why will there be an explosion while cooking?” Lu Yang was on alert.

Fairy Eternity found Lu Yang’s reaction strange: “Isn’t it common that the ultimate delight bursts in your mouth when you take a bite?”

Lu Yang: “…”

Eldest Senior Sister silently agreed, taking note of Fairy Eternity’s words.

These must be lessons from Fairy Eternity’s experiences, and as her successor, she needed to learn earnestly.

“You should study hard this time. I can groom you as my successor,” Second-in-command of Eternity Sect told her.

Second-in-command of Eternity Sect replied with utmost fear and apprehension.

“Your body can’t make complex dishes. Let me think… Ah! How about scrambled eggs with tomato?” Fairy Eternity rapidly came to a decision after some thought.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If only she had said so earlier. Even he could cook that dish. It was so simple that Fairy Eternity couldn’t possibly cause any problems.

“What’s this pot filled with?” Fairy Eternity inquired, lifting the lid off the pot. A horrid smell immediately assailed their senses.

Within the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang staggered around dizzily before passing out.

“What’s in the pot…”

Fairy Eternity was eagerly engrossed in her cooking and didn’t notice Lu Yang’s odd behavior.

Since she had control over Lu Yang’s body, whether Lu Yang was conscious or unconscious would not affect Fairy Eternity’s ability to utilize his body.

“Look. When making scrambled eggs, you must stir hard like this.” Fairy Eternity was busy teaching her cooking procedures, and Eldest Senior Sister was attentively listening.

“We use the egg to make scrambled eggs with tomato, and the remaining eggshell can be used to make soup; as the saying goes, the pot’s original essence retains the original food. This phrase was referring to this concept.”

Eldest Senior Sister nodded now and then, finding that the cooking methods from ancient times were very different from the current ones. There was much more for her to learn.

Being the cultivator she was today, apart from her comprehension skills, her good habits of diligence and inquiry were also to be credited.

However, nowadays, there is hardly anything left for her to learn.

…

When Lu Yang finally regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in front of the dinner table. The food prepared by Fairy Eternity was neatly laid in front of him, and across from him sat Eldest Senior Sister, exhibiting an elegant demeanor.

“You’re awake? You’ve been running around in Guhuai Town, controlling the overall situation and even fought with Tao Yaoye without resting. I guess you were just exhausted,” Fairy Eternity explained with a tinge of concern, worried that Lu Yang wouldn’t understand.

The scrambled eggs with tomato Fairy Eternity cooked were indeed an eye-opener. The red eggs and yellow tomatoes mixed with charming, mouthwatering aromas wafting far. It was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

A homely dish was made to feel extraordinarily stunning by Fairy Eternity.

Regarding the soup made with eggshells placed at the side, Lu Yang automatically ignored it.

A feeling of hunger surged within Lu Yang. He reached out to pick up a piece of tomato and put it in his mouth.

“How is it? Is the egg delicious?” Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang full of anticipation.

“Yeah, the egg?” Lu Yang remembered the piece he picked up being red.

“Yes, I added some chili powder in the egg.”

Lu Yang: “…”

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

His eyes darkened, and the spiciness made him pass out again.

“He fell asleep again… ah! It can’t be that he’s allergic to spiciness?” Fairy Eternity was deeply worried.

Yun Zhi, who knew that Lu Yang could tolerate spicy food, analysed the situation: “The food likely contained immense spiritual essence which overwhelmed him when he consumed it. However, this can be beneficial, as it could slowly allow him to absorb the spiritual essence within the food and fortify his cultivation.”

Chili powder was indeed a rare treasure cherished by Fairy Eternity.

“I see. By the way, how was the food I made?”

Yun Zhi cautiously picked up an egg, chewed slowly and tasted the overwhelming spiciness, the spiritual essence within the chilli stimulating her taste buds. It left a lingering and unforgettable taste.

“Extremely delicious.”

“That’s good to hear. I was worried my culinary skills had declined.”
