Chapter 2496: I

Many disciples didn't know Ye Changqing's culinary skills and didn't hold any hope for this canteen.

Moreover, this canteen was actually limited.

Although there were tens of thousands of disciples in White Pine Valley, who had nothing better to do than go to the canteen?

There were some curious disciples who wanted to go to the canteen to see tomorrow.

Rumors about the canteen spread wildly among the disciples, but everyone was just chatting idly.

A silent night passed. The next day, Tang Zhou calculated the time and arrived at the canteen to start preparing lunch.

Two meals a day, and Li Tieniu, Li Tiedan, and the spirit chef were already able to help him.

Simple tasks could be handed over to them, and Ye Changqing felt relieved.

He had studied all night last night and couldn't contact Yun Xian-tai and the others.

The image-projection array disk had no response, and the sound-transmission talisman went out and had no news, even the Saint-level sound-transmission talisman was the same.

Ye Changqing guessed it might be because the distance was too far, exceeding the range of the image-projection array disk and the sound-transmission talisman.

But he couldn't solve it right now. Go find Qiu Baiyi? Forget it, that was impossible.

Ye Changqing even felt that this woman had calculated this, which was why she agreed so readily.

Think of a way slowly; being anxious was useless.

He started making today's lunch. Cooking for thirty thousand people was nothing to Ye Changqing; it was very easy.

At the Dao One Holy Land, not to mention three meals a day, each meal was for fifty thousand people.

As time passed, as the mealtime approached, outside the canteen, one after another, some disciples did indeed come out of curiosity.

It had to be said that because White Pine Valley was full of female disciples, a group of women together was a competition of beauty.

Cultivators were never ugly. Even women who weren't naturally good-looking, once they embarked on the path of cultivation, their appearance and temperament would slowly change.

So thinking from this aspect, staying in White Pine Valley didn't seem like too big of a problem... Pfft, I'm a man with a family.

The disciples gathered at the canteen door, not many people, just a few hundred.

As for the deacons, not a single one came.

At this time, the disciples were chatting casually.

"Look, I said no one would come."

"Exactly. Limited to thirty thousand portions? It would be good if three hundred people came."

"Hehe, I was just curious to see. It's the same as I thought, so I'm relieved."

"Do you want to taste it later?"

"What's there to taste? It's just that taste. Last time the Valley Master invited a Saint-level spirit chef, I took a bite, and it was just that taste."

"True. I'm busy cultivating this afternoon; I don't have time."

"Let's go, let's go."

Seeing the canteen so deserted, some lost interest and left quickly.

While others continued to stay, wanting to see how many people would come at mealtime.

Soon, mealtime arrived. Qiu Baiyi and the Great Emperor elder from yesterday arrived as scheduled.

Seeing Qiu Baiyi appear, many disciples were stunned.

"The Valley Master really came?"

"No way, the Valley Master really came to the canteen to eat?"

"Maybe because it's the first day. After all, this canteen is said to have been set up at the Valley Master's instruction."

"That makes sense."

But Qiu Baiyi didn't pay any attention to the disciples' discussion and hurried into the canteen.

She didn't deliberately talk much about the canteen because she was afraid these disciples would know too early.

If too many people came, it would be troublesome. Moreover, she, the Valley Master, hadn't yet grasped Ye Changqing.

Just as she entered the canteen, Ye Changqing also took the last dish out of the pot.

In the stir-fry pot containing space, the food flowed down like a waterfall.

It was magical to say; cooking for thirty thousand people, if it were his previous life, you wouldn't be able to do it even if you broke your hands.

But in this life, it was easy; one pot solved it.

It was a fantasy world, after all; things that science couldn't explain were everywhere.

As the food was served, a rich fragrance drifted out.

Qiu Baiyi, who had just walked into the canteen, smelled it immediately.

She had thought that big-pot food wouldn't be that attractive, but now smelling this fragrance, Qiu Baiyi couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. Hmm, hungry.

She hurried forward and said to Ye Changqing with a smile.

"Changqing, fewer people might come to the canteen today. It would be a waste if it's not eaten. Can I have a few more bowls?"

They had discussed it; there were thirty thousand portions per meal anyway, and Ye Changqing didn't care about the distribution.

Hearing this, Ye Changqing also replied casually.

"As you wish."

"Hmm, also, this is for you. Heavenly Martial Fruit, a specialty of our Heavenly Martial Realm, is very good for the physical body."

As she spoke, Qiu Baiyi even took out a spatial ring, which contained some Heavenly Martial Fruits.

Ye Changqing had heard of this Heavenly Martial Fruit, a spirit fruit unique to the Heavenly Martial Realm, of Saint-grade quality, and not cheap.

He looked at Qiu Baiyi suspiciously. What did this woman want to do?

Facing Ye Changqing's gaze, Qiu Baiyi also revealed a gentle smile.

"You are tired from cooking every day. Eat some Heavenly Martial Fruits to recover faster and also nourish and strengthen your physical body."

This woman was abnormal. Was this something that should come out of your mouth? This shouldn't be something you could say.

But Qiu Baiyi still stuffed the spatial ring over while Ye Changqing was stunned, then turned to get her rice.

"Take it, remember to eat it."

Leaving Ye Changqing alone looking at the spatial ring in his hand, he fell into silence, his mind full of thoughts.

Is this Heavenly Martial Fruit poisonous? Does this woman want to poison me to death?

No, no, no, there's no benefit for her to kill me. Want to bribe me? But bribe me with what?

He couldn't figure it out, and at this time, Qiu Baiyi had already eaten a full bowl of rice.

And the Great Emperor elder from yesterday was not slow at all.

Afterward, two more Great Emperor elders arrived one after another.

After all, as elders, they definitely knew more than the disciples, so they knew more inside information about the canteen.

These two elders hadn't tasted Ye Changqing's culinary skills before, and now, after one bite, their reaction was exactly the same as Qiu Baiyi's.

First a daze, then they turned into "rice-eating machines."

The usual etiquette and temperament were instantly thrown to the nine heavens.

At this time, how could they care about those? Just eat.

Fortunately, those disciples didn't know yet; otherwise, they would have to eat with open stomachs?

At this time, as the fragrance continued to drift, slowly, the disciples outside the courtyard also smelled the scent.
