Chapter 2504: Immortal Master Above

Ye Zhangqing's cooking process was just that simple, yet it left all the Immortal Chefs present with their heads full of question marks.

It gave them a feeling as if their worldview had been overturned—just absurd.

Clearly every step broke convention; under normal circumstances, that would definitely cause trouble.

But in the end, there wasn't a single problem, and the whole process could be described as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

Anyway, it left everyone completely baffled.

When several Immortal Chefs stepped forward to inspect the spiritual water, Ye Zhangqing didn't stop them—after all, it was just ordinary spiritual water, letting them look was no big deal.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; these techniques, so far, only he had mastered.

Other Immortal Chefs, if they wanted to learn, the result was just one thing: they blew up.

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't intend to teach these; first, it's a question of whether everyone could learn them, and second, teaching these techniques is too troublesome—Ye Zhangqing finds it tiring.

While the many Immortal Chefs were still in shock, a rich fragrance slowly drifted out from the pot.

Soon, everyone present smelled the fragrance and were immediately drawn to it.

They didn't even have time to dwell on their shock; each took a deep breath, and the fragrance that hit their faces made everyone unconsciously show a look of enjoyment.

Even that Heavenly Official couldn't help but take several vigorous sniffs.

Immediately, pairs of eyes widened like copper bells, fixed firmly on the Heaven and Earth Pot.

All they could see was that the dish Ye Zhangqing was cooking was almost ready to leave the pot.

"Fragrant!"

"This... this... this... is this the taste of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?"

Some were shocked; they had never before considered the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients worth attention, thinking they were heretical and unacceptable.

And Ye Zhangqing was just pandering to the crowd for popularity—he simply wasn't qualified to teach them.

But now, as this rich fragrance hit their faces, all those previous ideas instantly seemed untenable.

How could the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients be not delicious? Just this fragrance alone already makes them top-tier ingredients.

We're all Immortal Chefs; although we haven't tasted it yet, just from this fragrance we can easily tell the flavor certainly won't be bad.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were a mix of five flavors, and some couldn't help but blush.

Just now, weren't we being a bit too presumptuous?

However, Ye Zhangqing wasn't affected by everyone's astonishment; after finishing the first dish, he began preparing the second.

The many Immortal Chefs present felt an unbearable itch in their hearts; that fragrance simply made their minds unable to settle.

But they didn't dare disturb him.

Logically, since we're all Immortal Chefs, we should have some resistance to food.

Compared to other cultivators, they've certainly eaten plenty of fine food.

Through mutual exchange and their own culinary research, their resistance to food has greatly increased.

But now, faced with this dish Ye Zhangqing made, they still couldn't help but gulp.

However, they could only endure it; they waited until Ye Zhangqing finished the remaining two dishes before they gazed at him longingly.

Their eyes were full of anticipation; they really were finding it hard to bear.

They just wanted to take a bite, to see how this so temptingly fragrant dish actually tasted.

Now it's finally ready; they just wait for Ye Zhangqing's command, then they will unhesitatingly rush at him like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, swarming forward.

Faced with the crowd's fiery gazes, Ye Zhangqing had long since become immune to such looks.

After all, he's seen too much; there's nothing special about it anymore.

Under the gaze of everyone staring eagerly, Ye Zhangqing broke into a smile and said.

"If you don't mind, please give it a try."

"No problem, no problem."

"Then I won't be polite."

"Don't squeeze me."

"What are you doing?"

Nobody would mind; they had already been waiting with burning anticipation. Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, they replied with smiles while unconsciously walking toward the table.

Ye Zhangqing didn't make much this time—just three dishes.

Anyway, he said it was just a tasting; letting these people sample the flavor was enough, nothing else.

Immediately, the crowd surged forward to the table, and a scramble was inevitable.

The Immortal Chefs who had previously been indifferent now started pushing and shoving each other to grab the food.

Some who tasted it first were struck dumb, standing there as if hit by lightning.

The people behind them, seeing this, immediately shouted in annoyance.

"What are you doing? Have you eaten yourself stupid?"

Then there was no response; that person just stood there blankly, and in desperation, the person behind grabbed him and flung him to the side.

Damn it, if you're not eating, get out of my way.

Then, excitedly stepping forward, he didn't realize that the next second he, too, would stand there stunned like the previous person.

His heart was full of shock; this taste was simply heaven-defying.

His eyes stared wide and round.

This scene kept repeating: those who had eaten were dazed, while those who hadn't cursed and complained.

"If you're not eating, get lost."

And then, just like the person before, they stood there stupidly.

Such a scene went back and forth, but Ye Zhangqing didn't join in; he withdrew from the crowd, wearing a faint smile.

"Young Master Ye."

At that moment, the heavenly official came over with a smile, but while speaking, he still unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Obviously, he was also extremely hungry.

Looking at this, if it weren't for his status as a Heavenly Palace Celestial Official, he would also have wanted to go up and snatch a couple bites.

Seeing this, without the heavenly official even needing to speak, Ye Zhangqing already knew what he meant, and said with a smile.

"Senior, there's no need to fight over it; tonight I've prepared a banquet for you at the Tian Family Estate, and I hope you won't refuse."

"How could I be so embarrassed?"

"There will be many things later that I'll need to trouble you with."

"Haha, sure thing, Young Master Ye, if you have anything in the future, feel free to come find me; I will not refuse anything I can do."

Hearing that Ye Zhangqing had specially prepared a banquet for him, this heavenly official was overjoyed.

Good, good, good, that's exactly what he was waiting for.

That aroma just now didn't just make the immortal chefs drool; even he himself was drooling.

He was even worse than those immortal chefs, after all he's just an ordinary cultivator; facing that aroma, how could he hold back?

He's already drooled several pounds; if it weren't for his decent willpower, he would have already dug in, damn it.

Now that he's gotten a promise from Ye Zhangqing, how could he not be happy?

He nodded with a smile, looking at Ye Zhangqing, very pleasing; good, good, good, indeed he's someone Zhao Lao values.

While the two were talking, the original three dishes were also quickly cleared away.

The quantity wasn't large; the many immortal chefs were still wanting more, they hadn't even tasted the flavor yet, how could it be gone already?

In their hearts, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, there were also quick-witted people who soon came to their senses and immediately bowed deeply to Ye Zhangqing.

"Teacher above, please accept this student's bow."
