Chapter 1428

After Ye Zhangqing successfully broke through and left seclusion, Yun Xiantai and the others, including Yao Yunfeng and them, were even happier than he was.

Because Ye Zhangqing leaving seclusion meant they could eat again.

And Jue Shi wore a resentful expression.

"You brat, you finally left seclusion."

"What's wrong?"

"My heart is broken; these past few days no one has come to eat, is my cooking really that bad?"

This was the first time Jue Shi doubted his cooking; from childhood he had shown extraordinary talent in the way of spirit cooking, and then progressed rapidly.

Now that he was already an Emperor-level Spirit Chef, he was made to lack confidence by everyone.

When Ye Zhangqing was present, at every mealtime the canteen was packed, with everyone rushing forward.

But when Ye Zhangqing entered seclusion and he temporarily took over, the canteen was deserted, extremely desolate.

Such a stark contrast left Jue Shi feeling utterly insecure, wondering if his cooking really was that bad.

But when Ye Zhangqing took charge of the cooking, Jue Shi was completely convinced.

Originally, as a Saint-level Spirit Chef, Ye Zhangqing's dishes were already irresistible.

Now, after breaking through to Emperor-level Spirit Chef, Ye Zhangqing's cooking has improved further; the aroma makes people unable to stop drooling.

"How come I feel this aroma is different from before?"

"Nonsense, Xiao Ye Zhangqing has already broken through to Emperor-level Spirit Chef, so his cooking must have improved."

"I'm really looking forward to this; this is the first meal Ye Zhangqing has cooked after breaking through to Emperor-level Spirit Chef."

Smelling that aroma, more fragrant than before, everyone's hearts were full of anticipation, not knowing how high Ye Zhangqing's dishes could reach after his breakthrough to Emperor-level Spirit Chef.

As mealtime arrived, everyone hurriedly grabbed bowls and served themselves; one bite in, even Yun Xiantai and the others, who were already accustomed to Ye Zhangqing's meals, had their eyes light up.

This taste is better than before, and the effect is stronger as well.

The same dishes, but with stronger effects and better taste—this is the progress after breaking through to Emperor-level Spirit Chef.

This meal, everyone ate with lingering desire, and the food was completely finished.

Even Qiu Baiyi and the four women devoured their food wolfishly; seeing them like that, Ye Zhangqing laughed and said.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Husband, it's really delicious, much better than before."

The four women couldn't help but praise repeatedly; compared to Saint-level Spirit Chefs, Emperor-level Spirit Chefs truly have an essential difference.

Ye Zhangqing successfully broke through, and also learned many new cooking techniques from Jue Shi.

That day, everyone also decided to head to the Medicine King Realm.

As they boarded the Star Battleship, Jue Shi came over with Lin Gongfeng and Zhang Gongfeng.

"Why are you also coming?"

"We're going together to the Medicine King Pavilion; come to think of it, I haven't been there in a long time."

"Jue Shi is also going to the Medicine King Pavilion?" Hearing this, Yun Xiantai frowned; is this old thing heading for the Medicine King Pavilion? Obviously he's heading for Ye Zhangqing—any fool can see that.

The group boarded the Star Battleship, and together with Yao Yunfeng and the other strong ones of the Medicine King Pavilion, they left the Food Realm and headed straight for the Medicine King Pavilion.

The Medicine King Pavilion isn't far from the Food Realm; it takes only two or three days to get there.

Even during the journey, whenever mealtime came, one could see figures swiftly descending from several Star Battleships of the Medicine King Pavilion onto the Star Battleship of Yun Xiantai and the others.

These guys really know how to keep time; they wouldn't miss a single meal for anything.

After two and a half days of sailing, the Star Battleship slowly entered the Medicine King Realm.

If the Food Realm is the world of spirit cooks, then the Medicine King Realm is the world of pill masters.

Because of the Medicine King Pavilion's existence, many pill masters gather in the Medicine King Realm; they come from all directions, assemble together, discuss pill-refining insights, learn from each other, and improve together.

Moreover, the Medicine King Realm is extremely suitable for cultivating spiritual herbs; spiritual herbs of the same grade grown there are of a higher rank than those grown elsewhere.

In the entire Medicine King Realm, the way of pill refining is prevalent to the extreme.

Numerous big and small pill master factions exist, but no matter what, the hegemon of the Medicine King Realm remains the Medicine King Pavilion.

This has never changed from beginning to end; not even a single faction can threaten the existence of the Medicine King Pavilion.

As the Star Battleship slowly came to a stop above the main peak plaza of the Medicine King Pavilion.

Yun Xiantai and the others slowly disembarked; Yao Yunfeng had already been waiting there.

"Brother Yun Dao, Brother Dong Fang, little friend Ye Zhangqing, your lodgings have been prepared, right next to the canteen of my Medicine King Pavilion."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Yao Yunfeng's meaning.

This old brat has plenty of ideas; arranging lodgings, he actually placed them right next to the canteen.

What scheme is he hatching? Everyone knows without even thinking.

After personally leading everyone to their lodgings and settling Ye Zhangqing and Yun Xiantai's group, the Grand Elder then spoke to Yao Yunfeng with a grim expression.

"Senior brother, I'll go back for a bit."

Upon hearing that, Yao Yunfeng gave the Grand Elder a deep look, naturally knowing what he was going back to do, and asked concernedly.

"Shall I accompany you?"

"No need; I can handle this small matter myself."

"Alright, then contact me if anything comes up; relax, some things aren't worth worrying about."

"I know."

With a dark face, he simply nodded in reply, then the Grand Elder turned and left, heading straight for his home.

The Grand Elder's Dong Fu is also on Zhu Feng; it is the finest place in the entire Medicine King Pavilion.

Striding into the Dong Fu, unlike Yao Yunfeng's, the Grand Elder's Dong Fu is resplendent with gold and jewels, altogether like a palace.

Looking around, there are many treasures, extremely luxurious.

Actually, the Grand Elder doesn't like these; he prefers something simpler and more elegant.

This made it glittering with gold and jade, like a Gōulán, with no feeling of home at all.

But there's nothing to be done; that despicable woman liked it, so the Grand Elder went along with her.

Before, there wasn't really any feeling, but this time, with the son's matter exposed, when the Grand Elder saw these things, he couldn't help but feel a surge of annoyance.

Why did I originally agree to that damn condition? Clearly I don't like it, but for that despicable woman I endured it.

But in the end, what did he get? He got someone else's son?

The Grand Elder darkened his face, strode into the hall, and then all the way to the rear courtyard.

The further he walked, the more the Grand Elder's anger flared, impossible to suppress.

Upon reaching the rear courtyard, from afar he saw a beautiful woman in red robes, accompanied by several maidservants, elegantly and leisurely eating spiritual fruits in the courtyard.

These spiritual fruits are all costly and of high grade, yet the woman eats them every day.

Needless to say, this is definitely supported by the Grand Elder; without him, the woman couldn't have such spiritual fruits.

Looking at the woman, the Grand Elder only felt his sincere devotion had been fed to dogs; he had given his all for her and her daughter, yet this despicable woman actually deceived him.
