Chapter 1565: Are you a spirit chef?
Anyway, we're on the road, so Bai Xian'er's sister simply introduced the situation of Yongye Headquarters.
Simply put, within Yongye, aside from the Old Ancestor, the next level consists of the Four Great Hall Masters.
Basically, all matters in Yongye are decided by the Four Great Hall Masters, after all the Old Ancestor basically doesn't handle affairs, and it's normal for him to disappear for years without a trace.
Only the Four Great Hall Masters can get in touch with him.
And each of the Four Great Hall Masters possesses Emperor Sovereign-level cultivation, infinitely close to the Ancestor Realm.
Bai Xian'er's sister belongs to one of the Four Great Halls, the Vermilion Bird Hall.
The other three halls are respectively the Azure Dragon Hall, the White Tiger Hall, and the Black Tortoise Hall.
There is plenty of open and covert rivalry among these Four Great Halls, after all they involve interests disputes.
Even having developed to now, the Four Great Halls can basically be said to each fight for themselves.
Each takes its own tasks, then arranges its own people to complete them; basically there is no mutual cooperation.
Unless the task difficulty is too high, only then will they cooperate, of course with the precondition that they agree on the division of benefits.
Bai Xian'er's sister can help recommend Ye Zhangqing to the Vermilion Bird Hall Master, who is her direct superior.
But for the masters of the other three great halls, Ye Zhangqing will have to figure it out himself.
Moreover, it's likely that at the start he will definitely be given a hard time; Ye Zhangqing needs to be mentally prepared for that.
Without winning over the Four Great Hall Masters, Ye Zhangqing's attempt to persuade the Yongye Alliance would be impossible.
Listening to Bai Xian'er's sister's words, Ye Zhangqing nodded from time to time, while also secretly calculating in his heart.
The situation in Yongye is more complicated than imagined, but even so there's no retreat; he can only grit his teeth and press on.
However, Bai Xian'er beside him at this moment curiously asked.
"Sister, why not just have your hall master recommend us to the Old Ancestor directly?"
Hearing that, Bai Xian'er's sister shook her head and said.
"It's not that simple; if any one of the Four Great Hall Masters disagrees, it's uncertain, after all that Old Ancestor basically doesn't concern himself with Yongye's affairs."
First we must persuade the Four Great Hall Masters; that's the first step, then comes the Old Ancestor.
Going directly to look for the Old Ancestor, let alone whether we can see him, the chance of success is also very low.
Ye Zhangqing nodded at that, and still followed Bai Xian'er's sister's advice.
Let's start with the Vermilion Bird Hall Master, after all it will be much easier.
"Oh right, our hall master is also a Spirit Chef; you can pay more attention to that later, perhaps it could bring us closer."
Who would have thought that as one of the Yongye Four Great Hall Masters, he is actually also a Spirit Chef.
Furthermore, listening to Bai Xian'er's sister, it seems this Vermilion Bird Hall Master is also very enthusiastic about cooking.
This Spirit Chef is also her sole hobby aside from cultivation.
Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded to show he understood, then fell into contemplation.
But he didn't notice that after she finished speaking, Bai Xian'er's sister's eyes flashed with a strange look.
The hall master should count as a Spirit Chef, right? She herself said so.
He secretly thought, but regarding these, Ye Zhangqing knows nothing at all.
The Star Battleship sped through the Wújìn Xīnghǎi; during the journey, the star beasts they encountered, Ye Zhangqing deliberately collected them, which are also rare ingredients.
After roughly about half a month, everyone arrived at a stretch of star sea that appeared empty.
Bai Xian'er's sister told Ye Zhangqing and the three others that they had arrived.
All around there was no sign of any world, until Bai Xian'er's sister took out a token.
This is the identity token of the Yongye Organization; it emits a faint golden light, which then converges toward the few people straight ahead.
Like a key, as the light gathered, soon an entrance appeared before the few people.
"Let's go, this is the entrance to the Yongye Realm."
Without the Yongye Organization's identity token, one cannot open the entrance; it is indeed secret.
The Star Battleship slowly entered; as they passed through the entrance, Ye Zhangqing and the three also underwent inspection by Yongye assassins.
Naturally, someone guards the entrance.
However, thanks to Bai Xian'er's sister, it wasn't too troublesome.
They passed through quickly.
At last they arrived in the Yongye Realm; all along the way, the Yongye Realm gave Ye Zhangqing a feeling of desolation.
The Star Battleship traveled a distance, yet they saw no one.
It seemed she sensed Ye Zhangqing's doubt, and Bai Xian'er's sister explained beside him.
"There's nothing strange about it; the Yongye Realm is inhabited only by Yongye's own people, and with so many branches, the population has always been small."
Although the area of the Yongye Realm cannot compare to the Demon Realm, it is even less than Haotu Shijie.
It's about half the size of Haotu Shijie.
And the population is just those few, with no outsiders, so not seeing anyone is quite normal.
Only in the major cities of the Yongye Realm can one see people.
The four largest cities are precisely where the Yongye Four Great Halls are located.
At this moment, the group is on the way to Vermilion Bird City.
Generally speaking, living in the Yongye Realm is quite comfortable; when not out on missions, the lives of these Yongye assassins are indeed very good.
Not long after, the group arrived at Vermilion Bird City.
The city is not small in scale, but equally desolate; the streets basically have no shops, and if there are any, only a couple are sporadically open.
Moreover, these shops are actually all run by Yongye assassins.
In this city there's not much to wander; just as they entered, Ye Zhangqing felt several strands of divine sense locking onto him and his group.
There are no shortage of several strands of Emperor Sovereign-level divine sense.
Under the leadership of Senior Sister Bai Xian'er, a group came to the entrance of an ordinary courtyard in the city.
It looks completely unremarkable, but this is the residence of the Hall Master of Vermilion Bird Hall.
"Our Hall Master likes to be alone, so we just randomly picked a residence."
A light knock sounded on the gate, and the next second the gate opened automatically.
Just as a few people entered, they saw a plump woman carrying a tray of something dark and murky walk out.
Seeing Senior Sister Bai Xian'er, she grinned and said.
You came at just the right time, hurry, come taste my pastry.
Huh???
Ye Zhangqing heard this and was dumbfounded on the spot, his gaze on the dark, sticky thing in the fat woman's hand on the tray, completely unable to tell what it was—is this pastry?
Full of complex feelings, he turned his head to look at Senior Sister Bai Xian'er, "Is this what you called the Spirit Chef?"
You are just an ordinary cook without any cultivation; the things you make couldn't be like this, right?
Moreover, according to Senior Sister Bai Xian'er, their Hall Master has been researching Chúyì for many years already.
After all these years, the result is researching this?
Ye Zhangqing even suspected it might be poisonous; it doesn't look like anything good, and eating it might cause trouble.
