Chapter 2505

Ye Zhangqing over here is still talking with that heavenly official from the Heavenly Palace, while the Immortal Chefs who have finished tasting the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients are all still wanting more.

However, there were also quick-witted people who had already come to their senses, and they bowed deeply to Ye Zhangqing with respect.

"Teacher above, please accept this bow from your disciple."

Huh???

Hearing that, the heavenly official from the Heavenly Palace turned his head suspiciously, "Now you're calling me teacher?"

Just a moment ago you were all scornful and contemptuous—how did you become so obedient in the blink of an eye?

That heavenly official hadn't eaten, so he didn't know the taste; he only smelled the fragrance, which made his mouth water.

There was no more direct way to experience the power of Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill.

However, it's easy to see from the Immortal Chefs' reactions that Ye Zhangqing's simple three dishes easily conquered them.

Someone took the lead, and the other Immortal Chefs were suddenly awakened, their gazes toward Ye Zhangqing completely changed.

Before it was scorn and contempt; now it's worship with full prostration.

In this world, someone's cooking skill can reach such a miraculous level; compared to Ye Zhangqing's cooking skill, theirs is simply not fit for the table, far from elegant halls.

Saying they are like frogs in a well is not an exaggeration.

Moreover, that flavor still lingers in the mouths of many Immortal Chefs; such a small amount is nowhere near enough to eat.

Now this great opportunity lies before us; first bow to the teacher, establish the teacher-student relationship, and maybe we'll get to eat later.

Furthermore, isn't this about learning the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's cooking methods from the teacher? During the learning process, there will surely be chances.

Many people have already started scheming in their hearts, but no matter what they think, there is one thing everyone shares.

That is, their attitude toward Ye Zhangqing has undergone a complete 180-degree turn.

Immediately afterward, all the Immortal Chefs present bowed respectfully to Ye Zhangqing, bowing deeply.

"Teacher above, please accept my bow, student."

"Teacher, this is the student's apprentice offering; please accept it."

"Yes, yes, yes, the apprentice offering—this is the student's apprentice offering; I hope the teacher will not disdain it."

Another quick-witted person brought out an apprentice offering; seeing this, others naturally did not want to be left behind.

Everyone wants to leave a good impression before the teacher; they were previously disrespectful, but now they cannot afford even the slightest disrespect.

Each one took out a Space Ring and placed it before Ye Zhangqing, saying it was their apprentice offering.

Moreover, the many Immortal Chefs were certainly not sparing in their offerings.

Although Immortal Chefs don't make as much money as Pill Masters, Artifact Masters, or Formation Masters, they are certainly not poor.

On one hand, the spiritual food made by Immortal Chefs is also effective for cultivators.

On the other hand, even if cultivators can practice abstaining from grains, the desire for food and drink remains a basic human desire.

Just like the Gōulán, you don't necessarily have to do anything upon entering; can't I just have a drink and listen to some music?

Just like Xu Jie.

Moreover, even if you can resist these desires, when three or five close friends gather with fine wine, adding a few side dishes and finding a pleasant setting isn't that even better?

This is also why taverns and Gōulán can continue to exist in the human cultivator world.

Therefore, these Immortal Chefs present, being able to come to Beyond the Heavens and stand firm here, each of them is certainly not poor.

And at this moment, to leave a good impression before Ye Zhangqing, they have all spared no expense.

Faced with the crowd's rapid change, Ye Zhangqing remained calm and did not refuse their apprentice offerings.

These things I don't need myself; I can take them back for use by the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Ye Zhangqing's thoughts now are quite different from before.

Before, I needed to rely on the Sect's protection; now the situation has reversed, and the Sect needs my help.

I now feel a greater sense of responsibility, so for various cultivation resources, Ye Zhangqing will not refuse them, even if he himself has no use for them.

"Everyone, you have good intentions, but I dare not accept the title of teacher; I can teach you only a little, as long as you are willing to learn."

Ye Zhangqing accepted the apprentice offerings, but he had no intention of being a teacher; he would accept the gifts, but not the title.

However, the Immortal Chefs all shook their heads in response.

"No, one day as a teacher means a lifetime as a teacher; you are our teacher."

"Yes, in the future, if anyone asks outside, I will say I am your disciple."

"Me too."

These people had decided to take Ye Zhangqing as their teacher; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing no longer hesitated and said with a smile.

"Then let's end for today; formal study will begin tomorrow."

"Everything as the teacher commands."

Hearing this, although the many Immortal Chefs were still wanting more, they had basically not eaten enough.

But however the teacher says, that's what they will do; how could they go against the teacher's wishes?

Each one behaved with utmost respect.

Even when Ye Zhangqing was about to leave, these Immortal Chefs respectfully saw him off in person.

When they arrived at the first floor and saw Ye Zhangqing surrounded by admiring stars, the diners and attendants in the Heavenly Palace were all taken aback.

They saw many famous Immortal Chefs from the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens in the crowd.

Before, it was hard to even meet these people face to face; now they all flock around a young man with fawning expressions.

Even some attendants saw the manager of the Heavenly Palace.

This Heavenly Palace is an industry of the Heavenly Palace, and its manager is equivalent to a heavenly official.

In the past, in taverns, the manager's word was law; if you offended him, even a heavenly official from the Heavenly Palace wouldn't get any face.

But now, in the crowd, he is the one smiling the most obsequiously, his mouth almost splitting up to his ears.

"What's the matter with the boss?"

A curious customer asked the attendant nearby; upon hearing, the attendant also shook his head, bewildered.

He also didn't know what was going on; he had never seen the boss show such an expression.

Is this the boss?

"Teacher, we'll send you home."

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll send you home."

"Just see you off here; we'll meet again tomorrow."

The Immortal Chefs insisted on sending Ye Zhangqing all the way home, but Ye Zhangqing directly refused.

With so many people walking on the street, what's the big deal? Ye Zhangqing doesn't like this feeling.

Faced with the teacher's firm refusal, the many Immortal Chefs could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Immediately, Ye Zhangqing finally managed to get some peace and quiet, walking unhurriedly toward the Tian Family Estate.

The task assigned by Zhao Lao isn't too troublesome for Ye Zhangqing; he only needs to teach for two Shíchén each day.

According to his estimate, the many Immortal Chefs have a foundation, and their background is deep, so learning isn't difficult.

Four or five days is more than enough.

However, whether the taste is good or bad is up to them to research later; Ye Zhangqing doesn't care about that, he only takes responsibility for teaching them.
