Chapter 2503: Stunned Silly

After preparing the ingredients, the next step is to put them in the pot.

He pointed a finger, the immortal fire entered the stove, lit it, then cast a spell to draw down lightning.

These are normal techniques for an Immortal Chef, after all cooking ingredients with heavenly thunder is nothing profound among Immortal Chefs.

Or rather, for those who can break through to become an Immortal Chef, these methods are merely basic.

If one can't even do this, it's impossible to break through to become an Immortal Chef.

The only thing different about Ye Zhangqing is that this immortal fire and the heavenly thunder he draws are both of high grade, belonging to the supreme quality.

He's got good stuff all over him.

Watching Ye Zhangqing summon his immortal fire, many people felt envy.

They came from the Immortal Realm to Beyond the Heavens, enduring countless hardships over many years, yet their treasures from head to toe can't even compare to the scraps of others.

However, envy aside, compared to the blade skill Ye Zhangqing just showed, this little trick now is not enough to shock everyone.

So everyone soon calmed down, quietly observing Ye Zhangqing's every move.

Ye Zhangqing paid no heed, didn't even lift his head, completely immersed in his own world.

In his eyes there was only this extraterrestrial heavenly demon ingredient.

At first everything was fairly normal, but when Ye Zhangqing heated the pot and added oil,

everyone discovered he actually poured the Gastrodia Pepper in first.

"This isn't right…………………"

Someone spoke softly, "The order is reversed."

Others felt the same, but no one dared to speak up and interrupt, so they could only watch suspiciously.

Afterward Ye Zhangqing then added the ingredients and began stir-frying.

His movements flowed like clouds and water, giving onlookers a pleasing aesthetic feeling.

Just this practiced motion already made many Immortal Chefs secretly admit they were inferior, and the initial contempt in their hearts vanished without a trace.

Don't let his youth fool you, this kid truly has skill.

With this level of culinary art, among so many Immortal Chefs he could probably rank in the top three.

"Wait, what is he doing? Is he going to draw lightning?"

"Draw lightning into the pot?"

"Nonsense, immortal fire and heavenly thunder are like water and fire; they can be used separately but must never touch, otherwise it will definitely………………………"

"He really drew lightning."

Many Immortal Chefs agree that immortal fire and heavenly thunder must absolutely not come into contact.

Both possess tremendous power, are not mundane things, and fundamentally cannot merge; once they touch, it's like pouring a bucket of water onto a fire.

But now, Ye Zhangqing actually intends to draw heavenly thunder into the Heaven-Earth Pot, combining it with immortal fire to cook the ingredients.

Seeing this, everyone present thought he was mad; who would do such an operation?

Some even couldn't help wanting to stop him, which might end up affecting them as well.

But before anyone could react, Ye Zhangqing had already swiftly drawn down the heavenly thunder.

As the heavenly thunder descended from the sky, it fell straight into the Heaven-Earth Pot.

Inside the pot, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; at the same time, the immortal fire in the stove surged upward violently.

It directly enveloped the Heaven-Earth Pot, and immortal fire and heavenly thunder instantly fused together.

"Careful."

Many had already prepared defenses; if anything went wrong, they would just run away.

But the imagined violent collision did not occur; in the Heaven-Earth Pot, immortal fire and heavenly thunder were like close friends.

Not only was there no slightest repulsion, on the contrary they were extremely harmonious.

You in me, me in you, completely merged into one.

"This………………………"

"How come I can't understand again."

"This shouldn't be; isn't this common sense? Why is it like this?"

Watching the heavenly thunder and immortal fire in the Heaven-Earth Pot, many Immortal Chefs found themselves once again completely baffled.

In their understanding, heavenly thunder and immortal fire simply cannot mutually merge and coexist harmoniously.

Before, it's not that no one has tried, but they never succeeded.

Over time, among Immortal Chefs such a consensus formed.

Immortal fire and heavenly thunder are both good things, but each time only one can be used; they must never be used together.

But now, Ye Zhangqing has completely shattered this consensus among many Immortal Chefs.

Immortal fire and heavenly thunder have actually fused together.

Many pairs of eyes stared fixedly at Ye Zhangqing's Heaven-Earth Pot, as if trying to discern some clue.

But after careful observation for a while, they still couldn't figure out anything.

Not understanding, completely not understanding, they only felt a buzzing in their heads, as if something were about to grow.

And just as everyone was puzzled, Ye Zhangqing's voice also came faintly.

"You don't need to worry about this method; you couldn't learn it anyway, and I don't intend to teach it—it's just my own habit, adding heavenly thunder to immortal fire makes the taste a bit better, that's all."

Ye Zhangqing said it simply, but upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned very ugly.

"Do you hear this? Is this even human speech?"

Overall they felt it carried an insulting meaning, although they had no evidence.

They admit they don't understand, completely don't understand, but you don't need to be so blunt about it—after all we are Immortal Chefs, so why do we now feel like a bunch of idiots?

Everyone fell into silence, while Ye Zhangqing's actions had not stopped.

He pointed a finger, and the spiritual water nearby was drawn in, diving straight into the pot.

Hmm???

What is this operation again?

Seeing this, everyone became even more bewildered—was this adding fuel to the fire, or extinguishing fire with spiritual water?

In the pot right now there is already Immortal Fire and Heavenly Thunder—what more do we need spiritual water for?

Moreover, these three things are naturally mortal enemies—how can they be combined?

Some people locked eyes, their gazes filled with pure stupidity.

Having spent a lifetime as an Immortal Chef and studied the Cooking Dao all his life, he ultimately found himself unable to understand anything.

Is this even still cooking?

How is it completely different from their technique?

Yet the spiritual water entered the pot, and just as imagined, no result appeared—everything remained perfectly harmonious.

This is absurd—are we using the same things?

How come your Immortal Fire, Heavenly Thunder, and spiritual water feel different from ours?

Some people couldn't resist stepping forward to inspect that spiritual water.

Heavenly Thunder and Immortal Fire are hard to check, but there's plenty of spiritual water left—you can tell at a glance if there's an issue.

Yet after examining it back and forth for a while, checking left and right, several Immortal Chefs finally concluded that this was just ordinary spiritual water.

It was no different from what they usually used—not even a higher grade, and completely unremarkable.

But why can Ye Zhangqing's spiritual water coexist with Immortal Fire and Heavenly Thunder in the same pot without being rejected?

You know that if they dared to operate like Ye Zhangqing, it would have exploded long ago.

The Tianwai Tian Sanshi San Lou is probably completely gone.

Yet Ye Zhangqing used it without incident, and the whole process was so calm and light—absurd.
