Zuoyan Xiaoyu had only arrived in the Myriad God Ridge a few days earlier than Yi Yun. In the past few days, Zuoyan Xiaoyu had spent all her time familiarizing herself with the rules of the Myriad God Ridge.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu was also very familiar with the paths in the personal disciple district. She led Yi Yun all the way to the personal disciple's kitchen.
The kitchen spanned several kilometers and after passing through the kitchen's door, there was a magnificent hall. In the middle of the hall were seventeen heavy bronze artifacts. Those with three legs and two handles were cauldrons, while those with two handles and no legs were cauldrons.
The seventeen bronze artifacts made up a total of nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons. This number had been the highest standard of food rites since ancient times.
Yi Yun could tell that the nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons were no ordinary artifacts. Just by placing them there, the surrounding laws seemed to form a system of their own. From the looks of it, the seventeen bronze artifacts were a complete set.
Surrounding the nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons were thirty-two tables. They were prepared for personal disciples.
A table could seat two people. Yi Yun was considered early. He randomly found a table and sat down. Zuoyan Xiaoyu stood behind Yi Yun as she sized up her surroundings curiously. This scene was very novel to her.
"Xiaoyu, you previously mentioned that such a meal only happens once a month and that it's not ordinary. How is it not ordinary?"
"Young Master, I've also heard of it. It's said that the monthly meal is prepared by Myriad God Ridge's Elder Lanqin. Elder Lanqin does a very unpopular job in the Calm Sea. She's a chef, or perhaps you can call her a herbal chef."
"In the Calm Sea, although there are few artifact refinement masters, array masters, alchemists, Desolate Heaven Masters, and talisman masters, there are still many people who study them. However, those who study culinary arts are nearly extinct. Those who succeed in it are even rarer. Elder Lan Xin's culinary skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection. Even if it's food that mortals eat, such as ordinary rice, vegetables, or poultry, after being cooked by Elder Lan Xin, it can be turned into top quality medicinal cuisine. Not only is the taste superb, but it is also greatly beneficial to the body. "
"If it's made with top-grade heavenly treasures, then there's no need to even mention it. Elder Lanqin can refine the impurities in the heavenly treasures during the cooking process, so eating more of it won't be harmful to the body. This is something that medicinal pills can't compare with."
As the saying goes, all medicines contain poison. Even high-grade spirit pills would inevitably contain some pill poison. If one ate too much of it, it would accumulate and require time to expel.
In this aspect, if it was just eating, such a situation would definitely not exist. This was also the strength of a chef. However, in many aspects, the effects of medicinal cuisine were not as strong as medicinal pills, so there were still a lot of people who learned to cook medicinal cuisine.
"Young Master, look. The nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons placed in the middle of the hall are the enchanted treasures that Elder Lanqin uses to cook. They are a set and the finished dishes are already placed inside. In a while, Xiaoyu will bring them to you. There are a total of seventeen dishes, nine meat dishes and eight vegetables."
As Zuoyan Xiaoyu spoke, people began entering the hall one after another. These people were personal disciples. Most personal disciples had servants accompanying them, and some had more than one. Yi Yun even saw a young man who was not wearing a personal disciple uniform. Instead, he was dressed in an embroidered jade robe like that of a scion from a wealthy family. He was being escorted by four women, all of whom were beautiful. Two of them were holding onto the colorful-clothed youth's left and right arms. As they walked, the colorful-clothed youth took advantage of them quite a bit. This left Yi Yun somewhat taken aback.
After all, this was done in public. It was somewhat improper.
Coincidentally, the colorful-clothed youth had chosen a seat beside Yi Yun. The two of them sat at the same table.
The colorful-clothed youth glanced at Yi Yun and said with a laugh, "You must be the Yi Yun who stirred the cauldrons!"
The colorful-clothed youth recognized all the personal disciples of the Myriad God Ridge. The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face made him instantly guess Yi Yun's identity.
"That's me." Yi Yun nodded.
After the colorful-clothed youth sat down, his table was filled with chatter. This left Yi Yun somewhat speechless. Those who did not know better would think that he was here to drink with women.
The colorful-clothed youth clearly noticed Yi Yun's gaze as he said with a laugh, "I'm Zhou Bingfeng. I do have quite a number of maidservants and concubines. Four of them were requested from the sect and the other eight were brought from my family clan. According to the Myriad God Ridge's rules, personal disciples can bring eight servants into the mountain. Any more is not allowed."
Zhou Bingfeng's explanation left Yi Yun even more speechless. He had only brought a third of them with him. There were still eight left in his residence. He sure had good luck with women.
"Junior Brother Yi, since you are a personal disciple in the Myriad God Ridge, there's no need for you to hold back. It's fine if you flaunt it a little as long as you have sufficient strength."
Zhou Bingfeng had the nature of a playboy. He beckoned for the two beauties to sit down and they sat on either side of him to accompany him in drinking.
Yi Yun said to Zuoyan Xiaoyu, "Have a seat as well."
Zuoyan Xiaoyu blushed as she hurriedly said, "Young Master, there's no need for me. I'll go get the food now."
At that moment, the nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons were opened. A rich fragrance of spirit food inundated them, stirring their appetites.
Yi Yun had never smelled such a fragrant aroma. He could not help but be curious about Elder Lanqin's abilities.
The people in charge of presiding over the banquet were a few elders. They were not Elders and could only be considered stewards.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu walked in front of the first cauldron and anxiously took the food from an elder's hands. It was a spirit fruit the size of a bowl. Its flesh had been dug out and it was filled with fragrant food. Zuoyan Xiaoyu carefully held it in her arms and felt the heat coming from it. She was extremely excited. Although the food was not something she could eat, she was still extremely excited.
She gave Yi Yun a glance and handed the spirit food in her hands to him like she was presenting a treasure.
But at that moment, Zuoyan Xiaoyu suddenly felt as though she had tripped over something. She immediately lost her balance.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu let out an alarmed cry. Although her cultivation level was not high, it was not difficult for her to adjust her balance in midair. But this time, when she fell forward, she felt that the laws around her seemed to change. Maintaining her balance became an impossible task.
"Peng!"
Zuoyan Xiaoyu fell solidly to the ground as the spirit fruit in her hands fell to the ground. The food scattered all over the ground.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu sat on the ground, a little dazed from the fall. She looked at the food that was scattered all over the ground as tears welled up in her eyes. She naturally knew the value of the food she was hugging. Perhaps all the cultivation resources she had expended in her life combined were not even as expensive as this. Yet, it had all been scattered in her hands.
She was just a maidservant of an outer sect disciple, and her family had no power or influence. In the residence of a direct disciple, she had to be careful at every moment. She was even afraid that a leaf would fall on her head. But now, she had caused such a disaster.
