Panshi Cave Dwelling.

On the round stone table, five or six delicacies were placed.

Yu Heye sat in the main seat, and the guest of honor position was naturally reserved for Unlike Ning Zhuo. Besides the two of them, there were Shen Xi and Su Lingkou, this pair of cousins.

"Young Master Ning, please try this dish."

"Its name is Nine Peaks Suppressing Sea Soup, made with nine-colored spirit rice to make flour, and azure sea water to ferment the dough. Then, use a magic treasure-grade clay pot to boil the nine-colored dough, and simmer it with golden rock marrow. If the spirit chef's methods are superb, it can form Earth Essence Essence when making this spirit food."

Yu Heye smiled, introducing it while reaching out to take off the lid of the clay pot.

The next moment, yellowish-brown mist carrying nine-colored light sprayed out. In this mist and light, three mountain peak phantoms appeared, then disappeared.

Shen Xi was a noble young master of a great family, and seeing this, he was somewhat surprised, saying: "These are three mountain peak phantoms, indicating that there are at least three pieces of Earth Essence Essence in the clay pot."

"To make such spirit food, it's not an ordinary spirit chef."

"May I ask Senior Yu, which great chef in the mountain gate did you invite?"

Yu Heye laughed loudly, secretly thinking Shen Xi knew his stuff, and took the opportunity to say: "It is the Nuanfu Hermit Tao An."

Su Lingkou immediately praised: "So it's the Golden Core-level Chef Tao; no wonder he can make such spirit food."

Although she was new here, she had heard of Chef Tao's name.

Golden Core-level spirit chefs were almost all head chefs or great chefs.

There were Nascent Soul-level spirit chefs, but they would definitely not serve the market. They were often limited to small circles. And in the conventional market, the highest that the public could stably benefit from were Golden Core-level cultivators.

"Young Master Ning, please have a taste." Yu Heye personally picked up a long spoon, shook it in the clay pot, and served the soup,

and a piece of Earth Essence Essence, into the bowl in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The soup body was thick like honey, crystal clear.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a spoonful, immediately feeling like he had swallowed a mouthful of warm quicksand. At first, a thick salty taste carried a slight bitterness, but soon, a clear sweetness surged from the root of his tongue, like mountain spring water carrying wildflower honey.

Unlike Ning Zhuo swallowed, and the moment the soup slid down his throat, his spine straightened.

A torrent of earth spirit energy, like a waterfall, reached his stomach, bringing a strong sense of heaviness.

Subsequently, the earth spirit torrent evaporated continuously, turning into warm yellow light, permeating Unlike Ning Zhuo's entire body.

His muscles were strengthened, his meridians were widened, his heartbeat became steady, and the toxins accumulated in his body were discharged with the yellow light.

After eight breaths, Unlike Ning Zhuo fully digested it, feeling that his physical body had strengthened significantly in defense and endurance, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Yu Heye was surprised.

He often ate this kind of spirit food dish and knew very well: although it was effective, it also had drawbacks, which was that it was difficult to digest. He didn't expect Unlike Ning Zhuo to digest it in such a short time.

"At least from my naked eye observation, he seems to have digested it."

"It takes me six breaths to digest this kind of spirit food."

"Don't look at him as just Foundation Establishment; his physical foundation is very strong!"

Yu Heye suppressed his surprise and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo with a face full of smiles: "Young Master Ning, how does it feel?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo commented: "Not bad, not bad."

Then, he looked at Shen Xi and Su Lingkou: "The two of you might as well try it; it has quite good effects."

Shen Xi and Su Lingkou each took a spoonful, their expressions changing, and they immediately closed their eyes to regulate their breathing at the dinner table.

Shen Xi digested it for more than thirty breaths, while Su Lingkou reached fifty-six breaths before digesting it completely.

A smear of yellow light still exuded from Su Lingkou's face, and she felt sincere joy, praising from the bottom of her heart: "It is indeed a delicacy cooked by a Golden Core great chef!"

Shen Xi reacted and looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, sharp light flashing in his pupils.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo's physical foundation seems to be very strong!"

"At least, his digestive ability is much higher than mine."

"Does he mainly cultivate the lower dantian essence sea?"

Thinking of this, Shen Xi praised Unlike Ning Zhuo's physical cultivation on the spot.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Sigh, I'm still far from it. This little physical cultivation is nothing."

Shen Xi, Yu Heye: "..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression was sincere, and his sigh came from the heart.

His physical cultivation was far behind his soul foundation!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul already had a million human souls, and his physical cultivation was insufficient, causing his soul cultivation to be shelved for a long time.

Some time ago, his skin had turned a greenish-gray color, unable to bear the strong soul.

Now the situation had only eased a little; Unlike Ning Zhuo had a long way to go!

"Young Master Ning, this is Thousand-Needle Solid Gold Crisp, how do you evaluate the taste?" Yu Heye picked up the serving chopsticks and gave Unlike Ning Zhuo some enoki mushrooms.

These mushrooms were thin and long, covered with a layer of gold powder, shining blindingly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo ate it, the spirit food entered his mouth, and after chewing, it immediately turned into trickling streams.

The streams quickly flowed through Unlike Ning Zhuo's entire body, combing through all the stagnation and blockages in his body.

Shen Xi and Su Lingkou were secretly surprised.

They had never heard of Yu Heye being so enthusiastic in entertaining a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This was very unreasonable!

Shen Xi's thoughts ran wild, constantly guessing: "What methods did Unlike Ning Zhuo use to make Yu Heye have such an attitude?"

"And—is it my illusion?"

"I always feel that this equal attitude is mixed with many components of flattery?"

Shen Xi's mind was sharp, and his insight was quite good.

He thought of this layer, but couldn't convince himself to believe it, as it was indeed a bit unbelievable.

Yu Heye ate very little, mainly giving Unlike Ning Zhuo food.

This attitude was a bit too attentive, and Unlike Ning Zhuo felt a bit uncomfortable, pretending to be cold and stiff: "I'll do it myself,

Senior Yu is too polite, please help yourself."

Yu Heye laughed loudly: "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Ning!"

Shen Xi was silent.

Su Lingkou felt puzzled, secretly thinking: "Why does the intelligence say Yu Heye is irritable, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite,

so kind?"

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo refuse, Yu Heye stopped immediately.

His thoughts shifted, and he patiently waited for Unlike Ning Zhuo to eat a few bites of delicacies before saying: "Young Master Ning, there are some difficulties in cultivation,

I still need to ask you for advice."

Su Lingkou: "?!"

The intelligence didn't say Yu Heye was so studious and humble, right?

The public opinion always says he is irritable; this can't be a fake one, right?

Shen Xi's mouth twitched, secretly thinking: "Yu Heye actually has such an attitude toward a Foundation Establishment cultivator. And he even used the name of asking for advice to show favor; this is a bit too much, losing the dignity of a Golden Core cultivator."

But next, Yu Heye actually took the essence of the "Inverse Five Elements Demon Art" and asked Unlike Ning Zhuo for advice in front of Shen and Su.

Unlike Ning Zhuo stopped his chopsticks, his expression serious and solemn, expressing his views.

Shen Xi was speechless in his heart: "It really looks like the real thing."

But as he listened, his expression changed, and he also became serious and solemn.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's response hit the point every time, and more importantly, he was good at using analogies, making things that were originally quite complex sound different from his mouth, and they were actually simple and easy to understand, benefiting people a lot.

Su Lingkou also immediately discovered this.

The pair of cousins also gradually stopped their chopsticks and listened attentively. As for Yu Heye, he looked like he was asking for advice and had long since stopped eating. So much so that the dinner table actually became a lecture hall.

Unlike Ning Zhuo talked eloquently and became the controller of the entire situation.

He knew Yu Heye's Five Elements realm was insufficient, especially metal and earth, so he focused his explanation on these two aspects.

Yu Heye listened seriously at first, was beaming with joy and sudden realization in the middle, but in the second half, he became confused and increasingly absent-minded.

Unlike Ning Zhuo observed his words and expressions, immediately knowing that this person's comprehension was limited, and continuing to teach would be counterproductive, so he wisely stopped.

This made the Shen and Su pair feel very regretful.

Su Lingkou looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, her eyes shining, admiring in her heart: "This Young Master Ning has such insight! It's still cousin who is amazing, discovering such a great talent from the crowd."

Shen Xi bowed to Unlike Ning Zhuo, sincerely admiring: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years! Fellow Daoist Ning, how lucky I am today to have a meal with you at this dinner table."

He also bowed to Yu Heye to thank him, thanking the latter for giving him such an opportunity, which benefited him greatly.

Yu Heye waved his hand, first expressing his respect for the Shen family of the Jiugong Xiancheng and Shen Xi, and then turned to Unlike Ning Zhuo,

expressing his gratitude and respect for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

This time, Shen Xi no longer felt that Yu Heye was flattering.

The reason was very simple: Unlike Ning Zhuo had true talent and learning!

Shen Xi's eyes were bright, staring at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his tone burning: "I wish I could drink and have fun with Fellow Daoist Ning, and travel all night, talking continuously, without sleeping or resting."

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "As the saying goes, a ruler has its strengths, and an inch has its weaknesses. My Qi sea dantian mainly cultivates Five Elements arts, and I just have some insights into Five Elements conversion and planning.

"I am still too far from a true great power."

At this moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo thought of the Five Elements God Lord and the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord.

Su Lingkou stuck out her tongue: "This is 'just some insights'?"

Yu Heye swallowed, feeling that Unlike Ning Zhuo was a bit too humble. According to his temperament, he was quite disgusted with this set of noble young masters.

If it were him, he would definitely hold his head high and proudly say this is my personal ability, my excellence, which is hard for ordinary people to reach.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo said so, and Yu Heye accepted it.

Who let the other party save his life.

Even if the senior lurking by Unlike Ning Zhuo's side took action, the latter lurking and not appearing was clearly wanting to place this grace on Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Yu Heye understood this aspect, so he placed the life-saving grace directly on Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's humble posture was exactly to Shen Xi's taste!

Shen Xi came from the Shen family of the Jiugong Xiancheng and had been born noble since childhood and strictly taught; if it were him, he would also make this humble posture.

This made Shen Xi have a great liking for Unlike Ning Zhuo, feeling that the other party was the same kind as him.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at Shen Xi and said sincerely: "I have long heard of the great name of the Shen family of the Jiugong Xiancheng,

like thunder piercing the ears."

"Meeting Fellow Daoist Shen Xi is a huge honor for me."

"To tell you the truth, I have always had a strong interest in learning array formations. But I don't know much about the Jiugong array, and I use the Five Elements array the most on weekdays."

Shen Xi laughed loudly, his mood very pleasant.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's flattery of the Shen family made him feel very honored!

If it were before, Unlike Ning Zhuo's flattery would not have made Shen Xi so pleasant. But now, through Yu Heye's questioning,

understanding, confirmation, and questioning again, Unlike Ning Zhuo showed his profound Five Elements realm.

As for how profound, Shen Xi couldn't reach the bottom, but he could be sure that Unlike Ning Zhuo far surpassed him in this aspect!

This was enough!

You know, Unlike Ning Zhuo is so young, and he has already greatly surpassed Shen Xi in this aspect, and can even be a teacher for Golden Core cultivators like Yu Heye; this is already an extremely huge achievement!

Of course, there are countless methods in the cultivation world, and there are wonderful methods for maintaining youth. But Shen Xi felt that the other party's age must not be large when getting along with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Mainly because Unlike Ning Zhuo himself still has an air of innocence and curiosity, far from the twilight air that middle-aged and elderly people would have.

Shen Xi worked in the Jiugong Xiancheng and had seen quite a lot of people; this was also the deliberate cultivation of the family. Therefore, Shen Xi had an extraordinary ability in recognizing people.

"Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo's actual age should be a bit older than mine, maybe ten years older." Shen Xi, who was thirty years old, guessed so.

He greatly underestimated Unlike Ning Zhuo's Five Elements realm, but the gap he perceived made Shen Xi estimate Unlike Ning Zhuo's age so.

Shen Xi said immediately: "Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo has such a profound Five Elements attainment, which is truly enviable. The Five Elements array must also be extraordinary."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up: "I have indeed gained some insights recently, and I still need to ask Fellow Daoist Shen for advice."

Shen Xi said hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not."

Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to talk about the Five Elements array he designed.

As soon as Yu Heye heard it, he heard many mechanisms of the "Inverse Five Elements Demon Art."

Shen Xi listened carefully, frowning: "Fellow Daoist Ning, are you trying to design a Five Elements array disk?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo told the truth: "Fellow Daoist Shen guessed most of it; to be precise, I want to design a Five Elements mechanism component."

This was not an excuse he deliberately made up.

The real situation was just like this: he studied the "Inverse Five Elements Demon Art" and manipulated Yu Heye's chaotic Five Elements Golden Core, which gave him a lot of inspiration after practical operation.

He fought with the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord before, his cultivation was too low, and he relied on the Cang Tie Han Jia · Jin Yan to move around, repeatedly on the verge of death. This kind of stimulating combat experience gave him a strong motivation to continue improving the Cang Tie Han Jia.

"Currently, it's just some ideas, not mature." Unlike Ning Zhuo said some of his ideas directly.

Shen Xi frowned deeper: "I can hear that Fellow Daoist Ning is improving the mechanism component, wanting to use it as a mechanism magic power source."

"But—using a Golden Core as a core, is it too extravagant?"

Shen Xi said very tactfully, implying that we are all small Foundation Establishment cultivators, using someone else's Golden Core as a consumable, isn't it a bit too ambitious?

Yu Heye felt a bit cold sweat, thinking of his own body, which was a Golden Core of the Five Elements category.

Little did he know, Unlike Ning Zhuo had hundreds of Golden Cores in his hands!
