My Informative Cultivation Life

"Little chicken stew with mushrooms? Haha, not bad, not bad at all!" Yang Ji praised before saying, "It seems the Culinary God's Manual you have really contains something special; its contents are quite rich. Perhaps your ancestor really was the Culinary God."

"Yes, my ancestor was the Culinary God. He was the Chief Cook in the Celestial Court," Shi Linger nodded in response.

"Oh? The Chief Cook of the Celestial Court?" Yang Ji's expression became intrigued.

"Yang Ji, the true Culinary God is an existence comparable to the Pill Ancestor. The divine banquets they prepare are not something the average person can taste. They not only enhance cultivation but are also delicious and more appealing than Immortal Pills. If you had a Culinary God by your side to prepare divine banquets in the future, that would be grandeur on a grand scale.

Even Immortal Kings would crave the flavors upon catching the scent," the Immortal Elder conveyed telepathically.

"There are indeed many Culinary Gods in the Celestial Court. Those old ladies of the Queen Mother hold a banquet in Yaochi once every ten thousand years. It's a huge affair, with various Immortal Kings coming to congratulate, and the divine banquet itself is a major highlight, comparable to Immortal Peaches!" The tatty wooden box suddenly spoke up.

Surprised, Yang Ji asked, "You've tasted it?"

"I have, and to tell the truth, it really is something!" the wooden box said somewhat wistfully.

"So, is this little girl really something special then?" Yang Ji's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's just a pity that this girl lacks Spiritual Root and won't live past a hundred years. Even if she consumes Lifespan Extension Pills, it's just over a hundred and fifty years, which compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands of years cultivators live, is far too short. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to become a Culinary God," the wooden box lamented.

"That's true, indeed a pity!" Yang Ji shook his head. For ordinary people to have Spiritual Root out of nowhere is even harder than for someone with Lower-grade Root Bone to achieve an Immortal Body. It truly goes against the heavens and is nearly impossible.

"Big brother, my cooking is really delicious. As long as you can find me high-grade ingredients, I can cook for you for free," Shi Linger nodded earnestly.

"Hehe, words alone aren't convincing, I'll need to see your true skills. How about this, Lang Lao, go get some ingredients from the Xianlai Kitchen and let her show us what she can do," Yang Ji said.

"Alright!" Lang Canghai nodded, tore through space, and disappeared. A few breaths passed, and he tore through space again, returning to the room holding a chicken leg that radiated Spiritual Light, along with a full set of spices, "This is a Lingxia Chicken, go ahead and cook it!"

"Okay!" Shi Linger nodded excitedly, "I'll make a roasted chicken leg then." Experience more on empire

Seeing this, Yang Ji waved his hand and brought Shi Linger into the Mount Sea World, giving her ample space to operate.

He also temporarily entrusted her with the Earth Spirit Fire so she could use it as she pleased.

"What's this recipe for roasted chicken called in the Culinary God's Manual?" Yang Ji inquired.

"It doesn't have a name; I plan to roast it my own way!" Shi Linger replied.

"Oh? Your own method? This must be your first time handling such high-grade ingredients, right? Are you that confident?" Yang Ji asked with a smile.

"A true Culinary God, once they read a recipe, can integrate and apply the knowledge without being rigid or restricting their own ideas. I, Shi Linger, have long stepped outside the constraints of the Culinary God's Manual.

Give me an ingredient, and just by smelling its scent, looking at its color, tasting its flavor, I can combine various spices and methods to create the best dish!" Shi Linger stated confidently.

"Oh? That's somewhat similar to alchemy!" Yang Ji nodded, his anticipation growing.

With the Earth Spirit Fire at her disposal, Shi Linger was very excited. She controlled it with a flick, then began to cook the chicken leg.

With every turn, her nose twitched continuously, taking in the aroma to gauge the perfect level of doneness.

Her eyes were equally focused on the chicken leg, watching its changing color and periodically adding spices with a professional air.

As time passed, a rich aroma of roasted chicken began to fill the air wildly.

The onlooking Yang Ji and others exchanged glances, their eyes all lighting up!

The Buddha Child swallowed hard, his eyes nearly popping out!

As Shi Linger continued to turn the chicken leg and precisely control the flames, the sizzling of the fats and the irresistible aroma wafted into their nostrils.

Even Yang Ji found his mouth watering at the aroma; it truly did smell delicious!

Lang Canghai was endlessly admiring, "Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!"

"Cumin on top, chili pepper on top, there you go, the roasted chicken leg is ready!" Shi Linger executed a series of moves, swiftly turning her hand to shake out the chili pepper. As the flames swept up, a scorching aroma rose, and she lifted the chicken leg from the fire.

Yang Ji, seeing his eyes shine, quickly waved his hand, leading everyone out of the Mount Sea World. The perfectly roasted chicken leg was also placed on a dining plate on the table.

As the fragrance dispersed, everyone who smelled it felt their desire for taste completely hooked.

In the room next door, a man who had been enjoying his meal suddenly sniffed vigorously. The aroma of the chicken leg invaded his nostrils.

In an instant, his eyes brightened, and suddenly, the chicken leg in his hand seemed less fragrant. Enticed by the aroma, he pushed the door open and strolled toward room A.

Just as Yang Ji and the others were about to start tasting, suddenly, a loud laugh came from outside.

"I am a carefree visitor from the Red Dust, seeking joy amidst the turmoil of the world. The beauties of the earth enter my mouth, tasting the fires of countless homes!"

As soon as this voice sounded, a flash of light appeared before everyone, and a fat man with a pleasing appearance, a huge belly, and a round body materialized out of nowhere.

"I am Xuan Zhong from the Infinity Dao Sect. Greetings to all!" The fat man licked the grease on the corner of his mouth and, smiling, gave a greeting with a cupped fist.

"Xuan, Xuan Zhong?" Yang Ji was stunned.

"Oh? Young brother, you know of me? Have you maybe heard of my famous name that shakes the heavens in the Myriad Realms?" Xuan Zhong was grinning openly, but he hadn't glanced at Yang Ji. From the moment he entered, his gaze had not shifted a bit from the roasted chicken leg on the table.
