Chapter 130

Chen Nuo softly said, thinking of the system's reward: "Extract the reward."

"Ding, congratulations host on obtaining the Dragon Emperor Blood Heart Technique, congratulations host on obtaining the Innate Spiritual Root Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Hmm, that's possible!

Chen Nuo's eyes were full of surprise; this Enlightenment Tea Tree absolutely deserves to be called the most valuable among the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, although its fame is not prominent.

The Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots can be said to be top-notch; the Willow Eyebrow Daoist transformed from the hollow willow is in no way inferior to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

And the Zhunti transformed from the Bodhi Tree is also one of the Heavenly Dao Holy Persons.

Any Innate Spiritual Root has the possibility of taking human form, only this Enlightenment Tea Tree cannot.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree bears the Three Thousand Great Daos; the strength of its Dao Rhyme power is by no means ordinary; even if the Enlightenment Tea Tree produced spiritual wisdom, it would instantly collapse under the pressure of this endless Dao Rhyme.

However, fortune and misfortune depend on each other; the efficacy of the Enlightenment Tea Tree can be called the foremost among spiritual roots.

Although it cannot compare to eating one Huangzhong Li that can directly promote one to Great Luo Golden Immortal, these Three Thousand Great Daos are still extremely useful even for Holy Persons.

Good thing, absolutely a good thing!

Chen Nuo kept thinking, in the future the little shop can also sell tea.

But this thing cannot be sold as cheaply as flat peaches, after all, rarity makes things valuable.

Chen Nuo thought while preparing ingredients; hot pot is truly addictive, he wants to eat it again today!

"Great Immortal Sun Wukong, this last dish of yours is truly amazing!"

"It's really too delicious!"

The Food God and Stove God praised with joyful faces.

Having eaten hot pot, they no longer doubted Sun Wukong's earlier boast; this dish called hot pot indeed possesses such magic.

They are now already beginning to fantasize about what rewards the Jade Emperor will give them.

"I have studied cooking for so many years, yet this is the first time I have seen a dish with such a simple procedure, and yet its flavor is so delicious that one cannot stop eating."

Zhou Kang frowned, still not having come to his senses from the previous tasting.

"The true essence of this dish is the base and dipping sauce in the broth, right?"

Finally, Zhou Kang's brows relaxed, as if he had some realization.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, indicating agreement with Zhou Kang's words.

Hehe, what his master took out—could there be any difference?

All the immortals of the Heavenly Court are waiting to be shocked by the master's hot pot!

Although it is not something he made himself, Sun Wukong's heart is still filled with immense pride.

Because this is the goal he has spent his life pursuing.

"You say, what rewards can the Jade Emperor and the Empress bestow upon us?" the Stove God said, face full of excitement.

"That definitely won't shortchange us." the Food God also said, somewhat excited.

The Heavenly Court's rewards have never been stingy, but the premise is, you must have worthy value to be rewarded.

One attains the Dao, and even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; they now also count as having risen thanks to Sun Wukong the Great Immortal's glory—promotion may not happen, but getting rich is definitely unavoidable.

The two gods looked happily at Zhou Kang beside them.

"Zhou Xiaozi, this time you will definitely be promoted to a formal immortal official."

Zhou Kang heard the words, yet felt no joy, only a bitter smile as he said: "I plan to apply to return to the Mortal Realm when the time comes."

The two gods:???

"Return to the Mortal Realm? What nonsense are you spouting!" the Food God and Stove God exclaimed in surprise, faces full of disbelief.

A mortal becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao— isn't that what everyone dreams of even in their dreams? What's wrong with this Zhou Xiaozi?

Actually giving up immortality and choosing a short life of just a few decades?

"What's wrong with you?" the Stove God asked concernedly.

As for Zhou Kang, the two of them still recognize from the bottom of their hearts: he has talent, cooking skill, innovation—a rare genius in the Cooking Arts.

Although he has pride in his heart,

what is it that this genius lacks?

"No, I have thought it over carefully." Zhou Kang shook his head, his gaze firm as he said: "I still have someone I cannot bear to part with."

He originally thought that after ascending to the Heavenly Court and seeing the immortals' lives, he could completely let go of everything in the Mortal Realm.

But after his pride was defeated, he also lost his former attitude of looking down on others, thinking he could rise to the heavens with just his cooking skill.

If it weren't for the arrival of Great Immortal Sun Wukong, he probably couldn't even pass the Peach Banquet hurdle.

Zhou Kang sighed lightly in his heart, thinking of his wife and children still in the Mortal Realm, his heart unable to stop the longing.

Being able to leave his footprint on this Tian Ting Pantao Banquet is already his honor; although the time is short, he has indeed learned much cooking skill from Great Immortal Sun Wukong.

He has benefited greatly.

And Great Immortal Sun Wukong's mindset is even more what he needs to learn; this is what a good chef should possess—a peaceful state of mind.

Upon saying this, however, it made the Food God and Stove God blush, unable to take up or put down; Zhou Xiaozi's mindset, they feel ashamed to compare.

"Where are the dishes?! Just this little bit!" Tian Peng's table had already finished everything; seeing the Immortal Attendant long delayed in serving dishes, he shouted dissatisfiedly.

The serving Imperial Chamberlain laughed embarrassedly, respectfully saying: "Marshal, the dishes have all been served, none left."

"Impossible!" Tian Peng glared, very dissatisfied, saying: "Don't try to fool me, I've counted them— the dishes served now are at most over two hundred, but the Tian Ting Pantao Banquet dishes are three hundred and sixty-five, this has been the rule for many years!"

Tian Peng's shout startled many immortals immersed in the delicacies; upon hearing this, their faces were all filled with dissatisfaction.

Such delicious dishes, only over two hundred? Who are you looking down on!

"Serve the dishes, my appetite is still hungry and hard to bear!" Tian Peng patted his slightly round belly.

At the diagonal opposite, ten tables were surrounded, and the Maitreya Buddha, having finished all the dishes, laughed hehe and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, these dishes are still enough to whet the Almsgiving Monk's appetite, a little hungry."

After Maitreya Buddha finished speaking, he also sucked in his stomach, wanting to make himself look a bit slimmer, but this vocabulary fundamentally did not belong to him.

Seeing the immortals below making a chaotic clamor, Haotian's complexion was not too good either, so he looked toward Yaochi at his side.

The Peach Banquet's dishes were all examined by Yaochi in the end, so how could this kind of situation occur?

Yaochi's heart also held a few parts of unease; although she knew the reason for the matter, it did not mean that what Sun Wukong said would definitely work.

Forcing a laugh, maintaining the imposing manner of a Queen Mother, if one could ignore the greasy sheen on her mouth at this moment.

"It's fine, I have my own arrangements."

Haotian nodded, yet paid it no further heed.

Although this matter was not any major matter, if it were blamed and brought to light, it would make them, the Heavenly Court, appear too petty.

"Everyone, please calm down and don't be impatient."

Yaochi cleared her throat and said: "This time the Peach Banquet's dishes indeed only number this many, but we have also prepared one more dish!"

"Since all you ministers speak like this, presumably you are fairly satisfied with this meal."

As soon as the words fell, the immortals all nodded.

Indeed, they originally held no hope whatsoever for this Peach Banquet's dishes, but did not expect that this time it actually gave them such a huge surprise.

This texture, this taste is truly divine; the trip was not in vain.

Seeing the immortals like this, Yaochi gained a bit more confidence, "The Imperial Kitchen's head chef guaranteed that this final dish is sufficient to surpass a thousand hundred dishes!"
