Chapter 1926: with translation of chapter title

Wu Zhong these past two-odd months has always been attending Ye Zhangqing's side; it can be said he personally witnessed how Ye Zhangqing broke through.

Although he didn't really understand it.

Anyway, in Wu Zhong's eyes, he usually didn't see Ye Zhangqing cultivating, yet he mysteriously broke through.

Finally, Wu Zhong's explanation was, 'Ye Shī xiōng is indeed extraordinary; I, Wu Zhong, didn't misjudge him.'

For Wu Zhong, the higher Ye Zhangqing's talent, the better for him; when the time comes to defeat the Heavenly Family's young lord and win the beauty, that will be soon.

Moreover, achieving a breakthrough in just over two months, according to Wu Zhong's understanding, seems the Heavenly Family's young lord couldn't even do that when he was in the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Two-odd months of time, when placed on an Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivator, is merely the blink of an eye.

Those with somewhat ordinary talent, not to mention two-odd months, even twenty or thirty years may not see any progress, let alone a breakthrough.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing as usual leaning on the Tǎng yǐ, leisurely basking in the sun, Wu Zhong's mood was great.

Even when attending, he felt no fatigue at all; just thinking of the Heavenly Family's eldest miss made his heart feel as if smeared with honey.

No wonder he's an experienced old sycophant; he knows how to cheer himself up.

Ye Zhangqing, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to Wu Zhong; after resting for two-odd Shíchén, seeing the time was about right, he got up to prepare dinner.

Since Wu Zhong became his follower, Ye Zhangqing staying in Cooking King Immortal City with nothing else to do, began cooking meals for the city's many disciples and Elders.

Of course, just like in Dao Yi Shengdi, it's limited.

However, because Wu Zhong and they helped out, the workload wasn't much, so each meal was limited to fifty thousand portions.

Also precisely because of all this praise, Ye Zhangqing was able to break through his cultivation again in less than three months after two-odd months, reaching minor accomplishment in the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

At this point Ye Zhangqing no longer lived in the previous small courtyard, but moved to a separate Dong Fu in the city center.

This Dong Fu was entirely built according to the standard of Deputy City Lord Bai Yuan and others.

Originally Ye Zhangqing's residence in this Dong Fu was still lacking; after all, a Dong Fu of this grade, the entire Cooking King Immortal City had only seven such.

To construct such a Dong Fu, the resources and energy expended are unimaginable.

It's not just a matter of opening up a space and being done.

For this reason, Wu Zhong voluntarily gave up his own residence; as he said, anyway he wants to follow Ye Shī xiōng, wherever Ye Shī xiōng goes, he goes.

As for his previous residence, it's fine to not keep it.

Wu Zhong being like that, as a Protector of the Way, Hei Lao naturally followed along.

Also Huang Lao, who likewise didn't reside in the Haohai Realm, also moved here; for a time, this Dong Fu became extremely lively.

Also Huang Chong, Ye Zhangqing didn't forget to bring him along.

Moreover, after these two-odd months, Huang Chong realized he couldn't compare to Wu Zhong, so he might as well honestly be the lowest among the juniors.

Moreover, out of respect for Ye Zhangqing's face, Wu Zhong also took considerable care of him; mysteriously, Huang Chong also became Dao brothers with Wu Zhong.

This made Huang Chong unable to help feeling delighted.

With Wu Zhong's help, dinner was soon ready.

And Huang Lao, Bai Yuan, and the three Deputy City Lords didn't waste a minute; they appeared before Ye Zhangqing immediately.

Come, let this old man see what we're eating tonight.

Huang Lao, holding a big bowl, just walked into the kitchen on his own; everyone was already used to this.

Like Huang Lao, Hei Lao, and Bai Yuan, these three don't need to queue or compete for spots; anyway they always have a share each meal.

As for the other Elders and disciples, the rules are the same as when they were in Dao Yi Shengdi.

All are rules set by Ye Zhangqing, naturally there's no difference.

As Fàn diǎn approached, the entire Cooking King Immortal City became bustling, as many disciples rushed toward one direction.

The ground seemed to tremble.

A clamor of footsteps sounded; then one saw before the Dong Fu, from all directions, crowds of people surged like a tide.

Holy shit, don't squeeze.

Who the hell squeezed me.

Shī xiōng, what are you doing with that knife? Ye Zhangqing Shī xiōng forbids harming people's lives.

I know, just scaring people.

Get lost, a broken knife—who are you trying to scare?

You're asking for death.

As numerous disciples rushed over eagerly, the scene instantly became extraordinarily lively.

It seemed like they had returned to Dao Yi Shengdi; in order to get a bite to eat, the many disciples, elders, and stewards of Cooking King Immortal City pulled out all stops.

Anyway, as long as it's within the rules, there's no limit.

As for this, I don't know why, but it seems like everyone can figure it out on their own; just missing a few meals, and upon returning they understand it themselves, as if it were a talent.

Ye Zhangqing doesn't need to worry about serving meals; Wu Zhong and Huang Chong can handle it.

After the food was ready, Ye Zhangqing didn't even leave his Dong Fu; Wu Zhong and Huang Chong simply set up a simple table at the Dong Fu entrance.

Those disciples who secured the spots then queued up according to the rules to get their meals.

Once they've been served, that's it; those who didn't get to eat can only wait for the next meal.

Everyone knows the rules, so around the simple table order is good; but farther away it's directly a chaotic mess, nobody willing to back down, after all this food goes into one's own stomach—who would back down now?

Ye Zhangqing and Huang Lao were eating and drinking at the same time.

Huang Lao suddenly said offhand.

"You little brat, even though you haven't broken through to Immortal Chef yet, you already have this culinary skill; once you break through to Immortal Chef, I'm afraid even Bai Yuan and the others won't be able to match you."

This was just an offhand remark, but as soon as the words fell, Bai Yuan beside him suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes lighting up as he said.

"Senior, now that you say that, I recall that the Hundred Beasts Secret Realm is about to open; then we could let Ye Zhangqing go."

Huh???

Hearing this, Huang Lao was also taken aback; he actually hadn't thought of this.

But after coming to his senses, Huang Lao hesitated a bit and said.

「Hundred Beast Mi Jing is indeed good, but who will Ye Xiaozi go with? 」

This is indeed a problem; this Hundred Beast Mi Jing counts as one of the top Mi Jing in the Immortal Realm, and each time it opens, it will attract many people to enter.

Moreover, for spirit chefs, this Hundred Beast Mi Jing is a rare Xiūliàn holy land.

Nothing else, inside there are many precious ingredients, and even more than half are ingredients unique to the Mi Jing.

But besides that, the danger is also extremely great, this point cannot be ignored.

Most importantly, the Hundred Beast Mi Jing is not only entered by spirit chefs; other forces will also enter it.

To put it more simply, the Hundred Beast Mi Jing does not belong to the Cooking King Immortal City; for example, if Ye Zhangqing wants to enter, he must also rely on the several major powers of the Immortal Realm, join them, and only then can he enter.

So Huang Lao has this worry.
