Chapter 2254

Shou Shou Xiang Zu ingredients, naturally the whole body is treasure; some unnecessary parts, like hair, demon cores, etc., have been properly stored.

All major powers would not waste them.

Even Ye Zhangqing, when handling these Shou Shou Xiang Zu ingredients, is especially meticulous.

This stuff isn't many; in the whole Immortal Realm, at most there are only three.

Two of them have been killed; only one living Shou Shou Xiang Zu remains, meaning eating one reduces one, cannot be wasted.

Because the victory feast is being held, people from all major powers are not in a hurry to leave.

Especially those who have tasted Ye Zhangqing's cooking, they are all eagerly anticipating.

Ordinary ingredients on ordinary days are already this delicious; the delicacies made from this Shou Shou Xiang Zu must be how delicious?

Each one can't help but stare with longing.

The city's repair work hasn't even started, after all the entire Wuji Xiancheng belongs to Dao One Immortal Sect, so the major powers naturally won't spend money or effort.

Left and right there's no danger either; the city's protective grand formation, whether earlier or later, makes no difference.

Besides, these matters later will also be headaches for Dao One Immortal Sect, having nothing to do with them.

Everyone is just waiting for the banquet to start, to properly sample Ye Zhangqing's cooking.

Of course, there are also people full of resentment, namely Ji Le Gong Er Zu and his group.

"Hmph, showing off before the crowd, Chúyì is merely a minor trick, what use is it?"

Ji Le Gong Er Zu angrily scolded; when saying these words, he probably didn't even notice the faint sour tone in his speech.

It carries quite the flavor of 'sour grapes'—unable to eat the grapes, he says they're sour.

Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, he hasn't eaten it but has smelled it; the aroma is indeed fragrant, but as the esteemed Ji Le Gong Er Zu, how could he yield just because of that?

We cultivators strive for the great Dao that reaches the heavens; how could we bow and admit defeat over such trivial desire for food?

So Ji Le Gong Er Zu made up his mind: for this banquet, his Ji Le Gong will not participate.

Moreover, the several immortal sects and clans affiliated with his Ji Le Gong were also ordered by him not to attend this banquet.

In response, the representatives of these major powers also felt quite dissatisfied inwardly.

You're sulking alone, not letting us go—what's the deal?

Of course, they dare not say these words aloud; they can only think them secretly in their hearts.

San Shi San Lou, the venue for this banquet, has been arranged at San Shi San Lou.

Inside one of the Dong Fu, this is where the Fire Room of San Shi San Lou is located.

All kinds of cooking utensils are naturally complete, extremely professional.

Bai Yuan and the others helped Ye Zhangqing as assistants; facing the Shou Shou Xiang Zu ingredients, they were also very careful.

After all, this is their first time coming into contact with ingredients of this level.

In the past, who would dare say to kill a Shou Shou just to try a bite; there was basically no possibility.

The meticulous preparation naturally took a long time.

However, on this day, Ye Zhangqing was originally processing ingredients in the Fire Room when suddenly it felt as if some bottleneck inside his body had been broken through.

It was not a cultivation bottleneck, but a Spirit Chef bottleneck.

He had already been a Saint-level Spirit Chef; this breakthrough saw Ye Zhangqing successfully enter the ranks of Immortal Chefs.

This breakthrough went smoothly with no hindrance at all, occurring extremely naturally.

Feeling the change in Ye Zhangqing's aura, Bai Yuan beside him wore an envious face—truly, comparing people makes one angry to death.

Thinking back to when he himself broke through to Immortal Chef, it was incredibly arduous.

If not for the city lord's help, whether he could have succeeded at all would still be debatable.

In contrast, Ye Zhangqing achieved it so smoothly, expending no effort; the whole process was as simple as eating and drinking.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan's eyes were full of envy.

Just thinking about this kid's talent, Bai Yuan also felt resigned; with such monstrous talent, it's normal.

Moreover, even before the breakthrough, Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì was already not inferior at all to these Immortal Chefs—only stronger, not weaker.

Logically, he should have already attained the level of an Immortal Chef.

So this breakthrough is entirely deserved for this kid; he should have broken through long ago.

"Congratulations, kid."

"Thank you, city lord."

He offered heartfelt congratulations, and Ye Zhangqing replied with a smile.

He didn't show much surprise at breaking through to Immortal Chef.

Actually, for Ye Zhangqing himself, whether he broke through or not feels hardly different; there's no special sensation.

Naturally, he couldn't muster any surprise.

He continued processing that Shou Shou Xiang Zu; for three days, Ye Zhangqing led people busy in the Fire Room.

The huge Shou Shou Xiang Zu, too, was processed through everyone's efforts.

The remaining preparation was completed solely by Ye Zhangqing.

In Ye Zhangqing's presence, they would not embarrass themselves; even Bai Yuan honestly did not intervene.

Otherwise, when the banquet starts, Ye Zhangqing's dishes will be swept clean while his own dishes go uneaten—wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

It's not that they lack confidence; rather, such a possibility truly exists.

Even before the breakthrough they already bowed to him; now this kid has also become an Immortal Chef, leaving nothing to compare.

One must know one's limits.

Three days later, in the evening, San Shi San Lou was filled with noise; people from all major powers gathered here.

The maids from the Canteen were all assigned to serve here.

Facing these big figures of the Immortal Realm, Hongyue led the maidens, being extremely careful, afraid of offending them.

You should know, the people who can sit here now are at the very least sect elders, direct disciples, ordinary disciples, stewards; they don't even have the qualification to enter.

In Wuji Xiancheng, with so many people, it's definitely impossible for everyone to have the qualification to attend the banquet.

As for controlling the numbers, that is extremely strict.

Everyone gathered together, chatting casually; after the great victory, everyone was very relaxed.

Even someone has already started drinking.

The atmosphere was lively, but just as everyone was talking, suddenly a fragrance wafted over, and someone took a deep breath.

"This fragrance...................."

"Haha, looks like the food has arrived, old chap, today you're in luck, you can eat this worldly delicacy."

"Hmph, you've been praising him these past few days; I want to try Ye Zhangqing's Chúyì, to see if it's as miraculous as you say."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."

As the fragrance wafted, everyone's attention was quickly drawn over.

This flavor indeed makes their index fingers twitch; even before seeing the dishes, just this aroma already made everyone anticipate.

Not long after, Hongyue and the other maidservants began bringing out plate after plate of delicious dishes.

As the distance closed, that fragrance became even richer, making people feel intoxicated by the scent.

Moreover, the appearance that met the eyes was flawless, making people salivate just looking at it.

They even forgot to drink their wine, each staring fixedly at the dishes served, eyes unblinking.
