The Treasured Pagoda Meat was as beautiful as a painting.
Bu Fang dried his hands. After breathing out lightly, he admired his completed Treasured Pagoda Meat.
Underneath the light, the golden Treasured Pagoda Meat emitted a brilliance—it was extremely mesmerizing and captivating.
The milk-colored broth at the base helped portrayed the image of a lone majestic pagoda rising up in the center of a lake surrounded by towering mountains.
The aura of spiritual energy drifted up from the spirit ingredients as gentle steam rose up from the milky-white broth. When the two intertwined together, a light mist was created, partially obscuring the view of the Treasured Pagoda Meat.
Bu Fang put his face right before the plate and took a deep whiff. Instantly, a dense aroma surged into his nostrils, tantalizing his taste buds and causing his brows to tremble involuntarily.
“Not bad,” Bu Fang said as he complimented the dish. Although he had not actually tried it yet, judging solely based on the fragrance of the meat of this dish, it seemed pretty amazing.
Lifting the plate up, Bu Fang walked towards the exit of the kitchen.
In the restaurant, many figures were already seated at the dining table, and there was the sound of conversation and raucous laughter.
The curvaceous An Sheng, the imposing Yang Meiji, Nethery with her icy disposition, and the little girl Xiao Ya…. Oh, and there was Blacky too, sitting with his two paws on the table.
When they sensed Bu Fang leaving the kitchen, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him.
As soon as they saw the dish in his hands, all of them were shocked speechless.
They inhaled deeply.
What dish was this? Why did it look so cool?
The golden brilliance emitted by the Treasured Pagoda Meat instantly sent stabs of pain into the eyes of those who saw it.
This dish was actually glowing right in front of them. It was truly incredible.
It was a dish that resembled a beautiful painting—all conversations came to a halt as everybody’s attention gravitated towards it.
Wearing his Vermillion Robe, with a small string tying up his hair, Bu Fang slowly walked to the dining table. Upon reaching it, he placed the Treasured Pagoda Meat gently down.
Here it was, the Treasured Pagoda Meat. Its thick meaty aroma and fragrance from the ingredients dispersed into the air, stirring up the appetite of the dinner crowd.
“It smells so good!” An Shen took a deep breath and inadvertently closed her eyes, immersing herself in the pleasure of the meaty aroma of the dish.
Yang Meiji could not resist the urge to stretch her neck towards the dish to take a deep sniff.
As for Xiao Ya and Nethery, they were literally salivating. Just looking at the dish alone whetted their appetite.
“Come, give this dish a try and let me know how it tastes.” Bu Fang implored the crowd as he sat down on a chair. He then retrieved sets of plates and chopsticks for everyone.
With a spin of the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, the domineering saber vigor from the kitchen knife surged out to land right on the Treasured Meat Pagoda.
Instantly, the Treasured Pagoda Meat was split apart, and each piece of meat was sent flying towards someone, landing on the plate in front of them.
“Taste it,” Bu Fang said as he picked up a slice of meat that was as tender as tofu for himself.
The quality of the meat from the Treasured Pagoda Meat was extremely tender and steamed to perfection. Everyone had a share, even Blacky.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, then tapped it ceremoniously on the table before picking up the slice of meat on their plate.
Once it entered their mouths, it felt as if the entire piece of meat was melting. The thick aroma spread out instantly inside, and the whole slice of meat seemed as though it would slip right down one’s throat.
“Is this spirit beast meat? How can it be so tender?” Yang Meiji exclaimed in shock. After one slice of Treasured pagoda Meat, she felt as if she had been baptized. Even her pores constricted slightly. This was her first time tasting something so delicious in her life.
The spirit beast meat was prepared in a very skillful manner. There was no pungency, and in fact, it even had a fragrance unique to this type of spirit beast meat.
Yang Meiji really enjoyed the fragrance and taste of this meat.
“It’s…. It’s so delicious!” An Shen had already stuffed the entire piece of meat into her mouth and was chewing it with a blissful expression. After eating, she gave a long sigh. Her whole body seemed exuberant, and her complexion was tinged a rosy red.
Xiao Ya, Nethery, and Blacky were still voracious after eating the Treasured Pagoda Meat. Although the taste was incredibly delectable, one slice of meat was simply not enough for them.
Their chopsticks flew out towards the Treasured Pagoda Meat to tear of chunks of meat, which were then quickly consumed.
After finishing the meat, the crowd carefully scooped a ladle of milky-white broth.
This broth was very fresh, and its flavor was further enhanced by the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine’s aroma.
To conclude, the diners gave only praises and commendations for this dish!
Bu Fang was satisfied. Since this dish was a success, it would be included in the menu tomorrow.
With a tug on his lips, Bu Fang’s heart was filled with joy. The restaurant would have a new dish!
His restaurant’s menu had been stagnant for a long time.
After finishing the dish, the crowd dispersed and left. Yang Meiji returned to her room, while An Shen left the restaurant for the Star Pill Pagoda. In the day, she would practice her culinary skills at Bu Fang’s restaurant, while at night, she had to return to the Star Pill Pagoda to practice pill concocting.
However, An Shen’s interest in culinary skills was growing recently, so the time she spent on her pill concocting skills was decreasing. She was falling in love with the feeling of cooking.
After Bu Fang finished the meal, he began to clear the porcelain plates. Whitey was now in hibernation, and as such, most of the menial tasks had to be carried out by Bu Fang himself. This caused him to miss the days where Whitey was around.
After clearing everything, the bright moon gradually rose into the sky, and at that point, Bu Fang began to fret over Xiao Ya’s lodgings.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to approach Yang Meiji. He knocked on Yang Meiji’s door to let Xiao Ya sleep with her. Although Yang Meiji was slightly boorish, her room appeared gentle and warm. There was even a faint scent of spirit flowers lingering inside the room.
After hearing Bu Fang’s request, Yang Meiji immediately agreed. Since this request was nothing difficult or unreasonable, Bu Fang heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally able to rest in his own room again.
After arranging the accommodations for Xiao Ya, Bu Fang returned to his own room. He closed the door, showered, and changed into a fresh set of clothes. After changing, he stood in front of the window and looked up at the starry night sky.
…
The Valley Of Gluttony
A warship flew in without restraints as it waved a standard majestically.
This was a warship of The Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds.
On the deck of the ship, an old man stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His hair floated around casually in the wind. Somehow, the elder seemed strange. His skin was yellowish, and there were obscured shining patterns on his face.
Because of Gluttony’s attack on the Valley of Gluttony, the Glutton God’s Banquet was delayed for three days, and thus had yet to begin.
Despite the disturbance from Gluttony, which caused the preparations of the Glutton God’s Banquet to be disrupted, the people’s spirits were still high now that the Glutton God’s Banquet was announced to have been resumed.
After all, the Glutton God’s Banquet was the largest Banquet arranged by the Valley of Gluttony.
Additionally, many elders were attending this Glutton God’s Banquet.
The Gluttony Square was still under repair. A warship flew in from outside of the Valley of Gluttony and naturally attracted the attention of many people. They then began to speculate on the origins and the purpose of this warship.
Suddenly, the warship grounded to a halt. Right beneath it was the Glutton God City.
Swoosh!
A figure flew rapidly from within the Glutton God City, hovering in the air.
“The Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds?” The sixth elder looked at the warship from the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds, his face instantly contorting with displeasure.
This bunch of people from the sacred lands were getting more lawless day by day…
The old man on the deck of the warship seemed to have caught sight of the sixth elder. With a tug on his lips, he revealed a warm and amicable smile. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the city below the warship.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying aura descended over the entire Valley of Gluttony.
The sixth elder’s expression darkened, and the energy on his body swirled to life as he tried to block the attack from the warship. However, he was sent flying by that one finger attack.
“Tell Chu Changsheng to come out and see me,” The old man on the warship said calmly, then continued with, “A Heavenly Spring saint died in this valley. Since the master of the valley isn’t here today, and as the most senior of the elders, he should naturally appear to give the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds an explanation. It better be one that can move me. Otherwise, I’ll level the Valley of Gluttony today.”
Gradually, the figure of Chu Changsheng appeared from within the Glutton God City. When he appeared, he was already on the deck of the warship and was staring down at the Sacred Land old man.
Chu Changsheng’s gaze left the old man trembling inwardly. He wore a voluminous robe, which revealed his masculine and domineering figure.
“You want an explanation? What kind of explanation does the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds want? Your saint offended me first. Not killing him on the spot was already merciful enough,” Chu Changsheng replied.
The old man’s eyes instantly constricted, and he looked at Chu Changsheng with a smirk.
“Chu Changsheng, indeed, you really do have guts. I heard you pinned the Heavenly Springs Saint Son to the ground. You’re completely disregarding the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds,” said the old man as he gradually emitted an aura of immense pressure.
This man was an expert, and his skills were extraordinary.
In the distance, a few Sacred Lands experts were waiting to see what would happen.
They did not belong to the same Sacred Lands. Now that the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds wanted to be the first to provoke the Valley of Gluttony, they seemed to be extremely excited.
“If you want to fight, let’s get at it….” Chu Changsheng flexed his muscles. In an instant, his shirt tore apart to reveal a well-sculpted and powerful body.
Without further ado, Chu Changsheng took a step forward. A golden bowl flew into his hands, which he threw outwards with all his force.
With a swoosh, the golden bowl seemed to turn into a golden colored beam of light as it shot towards the expert from the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds.
Behind the expert, a brightly colored tiger appeared. Its eyes were bright, and it had a solid six-step soul ladder.
Instantly, it began battling ferociously with Chu Changsheng.
…
Valley of Gluttony, in front of the Glutton God City
Boom!
A large hole that was several tens of meters in diameter appeared, spraying rubble everywhere. In the center, fresh blood was splattered across the center of the hole.
Chu Changsheng emitted an intense heat, and the patterns on his body gradually disappeared. He looked at the Heavenly Spring Holy Grounds warship in the sky and spat out a globe of white energy.
“Damn, it can’t wait anymore. That girl has to be brought back. The inheritance needs to continue, or else, the Valley of Gluttony would really be eaten alive by these bunch of idiots.”
Chu Changsheng’s aura dimmed. On his chest, there was a wide gaping hole dripping out blood.
The fresh blood dripped slowly down, but Chu Changsheng still kept his eyes plastered on the warship. It seemed as if he was deep in thought.
