Zuoyan Xiaoyu placed the fruit in front of Yi Yun. The first dish Elder Lanqin had prepared was the Green Spirit Fruit. The fruit had a natural fragrance. As for the rice inside the fruit, it was made of emerald pearl rice. Then, it was embellished with golden-threaded dates. Every grain of rice was pale green in color and they were crystalline. They looked like pieces of jade piled together.
Just taking a whiff of the fragrance was intoxicating. It swept away all their fatigue.
"Good food. It whips my appetite just from looking at it!"
Yi Yun had never eaten such food before. He had participated in quite a number of top-class banquets and had tried all sorts of delicacies. However, none of them could compare to the Green Spirit Fruit rice in front of him.
The Sinkhole was indeed different. As a large sect in the Calm Sea, the Myriad God Ridge's heritage was not to be doubted.
Many a time, strength was not necessarily reflected in war or territorial disputes. Just the basic necessities of life were enough to tell many things.
There was no need to elaborate on the Myriad God Ridge's food. They lived in Sunken Moon Tower. In terms of clothing, the personal disciple robes were superior treasured clothes. They were indeed impeccable.
At that moment, Zhou Bingfeng said with a smile, "Brother Yi, it's a great blessing to be able to eat a little of the food cooked by Elder Lanqin. I can't get enough of it every time. Furthermore, the seventeen dishes in the nine cauldrons and eight cauldrons form a system of their own. They each nurture seventeen laws. The first dish is called Green Spirit Jade Fragment. It gathers rich wood-elemental Yuan Qi. The essence of the Green Spirit Fruit's pulp has long been absorbed by the emerald corn. Enjoy it. "
As Zhou Bingfeng spoke, he began eating in large mouthfuls.
Zhou Bingfeng was clearly someone who had seen the world, but he was not elegant in the slightest when eating. He ate the Green Spirit Jade Fragment in large mouthfuls, filling his mouth with the fragrance of the rice.
Yi Yun ate two portions alone and enjoyed it even more. The emerald pearl rice not only had a refreshing fragrance when it entered his mouth, but it also had an excellent texture. It was soft and sticky without losing its elasticity.
After finishing a quarter of the rice in the fruit in a few mouthfuls, he realized that Zuoyan Xiaoyu was sitting beside him with her head lowered. She looked obedient.
His heart stirred as he pushed the other portion of Green Spirit Jade Fragment in front of Zuoyan Xiaoyu and said, "There's another portion. Eat it."
"Ah?"
Zuoyan Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head. "That won't do. This is food for personal disciples. How can a maidservant like me eat it?"
As a maidservant, being able to sit here was already a very high treatment, let alone eating the food here.
"It doesn't matter. There are two of them anyway."
As Yi Yun spoke, he pointed to the middle of the hall. Song Bowen had been beaten up badly by him and was still in a daze.
The stewards came into play at this time. They were already looking for someone to send Song Bowen for treatment. As a result, he naturally couldn't eat this meal.
Yi Yun did not stand on ceremony and planned on taking Song Bowen's meal for himself.
It was such a good meal, and it was beneficial to his cultivation. It would be a waste not to eat it.
"But, Young Master, I really can't eat it." Zuoyan Xiaoyu was adamant. She had a lowly status and such food was too expensive for her.
"Then get a small bowl and eat whatever you like. If I eat here, you'll feel uncomfortable just looking at me. "
Yi Yun was not used to having someone serve him when he was eating. It was just too awkward for a maidservant to watch him eat.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu could not decline the offer. All she could do was take a small bowl and scoop a spoonful of jadeite pearl rice into the bowl. Then, she resolutely refused it.
Looking at the tiny mouthful of rice in the tiny bowl, Zuoyan Xiaoyu felt an indescribable feeling. She knew very well how lowly outer-sect disciples were in Myriad God Ridge. She was already very happy to be a maidservant of an inner-sect disciple. But what made her even happier was that she could serve Yi Yun.
Under the light, the pearl rice was sparkling and translucent, like a perfect work of art. She couldn't bear to eat it. She could even feel that some of the servant girls nearby, especially the young girl who had tripped her, were looking at her with envy and jealousy.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu opened her mouth and carefully ate the mouthful of rice. The fragrance filled her mouth as she chewed slowly, feeling a little reluctant to swallow it.
But even so, the rice had transformed into a pure Yuan Qi in Zuoyan Xiaoyu's mouth. It surged into her body and nourished her dantian.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu clearly sensed that her cultivation level, which had been stagnant for so long, was beginning to subtly increase.
The lower one's cultivation level was, the better the effects of such spirit food. If it was some extremely nourishing pill, a person with a low cultivation level might not be able to withstand the pill's energy and explode to death. However, such a situation did not exist with food.
"Go get the second dish. Get two servings."
Yi Yun said as he wiped his mouth. He had eaten two servings of Green Spirit Jadeite Jade alone and his appetite had been whetted!
"Alright!"
Zuoyan Xiaoyu nodded and went to a bronze cauldron to take out the second dish.
She originally felt a little guilty facing the steward in charge of distributing the food. She did not dare take two servings, but she never expected that the steward would take the initiative to hand over two servings. It was a tacit admission.
This made Zuoyan Xiaoyu realize from the bottom of her heart that the Myriad God Ridge was a sect where strength reigned supreme. Here, strength was the greatest rule.
"He ate two servings alone and even gave a portion to his personal maidservant. He sure is arrogant! Senior Brother Ji, are you just going to watch? "
Someone among the personal disciples sent a voice transmission to Ji.
Although they were all personal disciples, the difference in status and strength was huge. Ji Changsheng had been a personal disciple for more than three hundred years. This was naturally something Song Bowen could not compare with. This was also the reason why he could supervise the entrance test and help Mo Shanqing preside over the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
"So what if I watch? Junior Brother Song was in the wrong for today's matter. He rashly provoked Yi Yun before figuring out his strength. Who else can he blame but himself for being taught a lesson? However, Yi Yun was too merciless with his attacks. That kind of character of his is unacceptable! Although strength reigns supreme in the Myriad God Ridge, there are plenty of people stronger than Yi Yun. When one encounters someone stronger, the one to suffer will be Yi Yun. "
Ji Changsheng said lightly as he continued eating.
Although Yi Yun could not hear the conversation between Ji Changsheng and the others, his gaze swept past Ji Changsheng in a seemingly unintentional manner.
Yi Yun had a nagging feeling that Ji Changsheng exuded a steady and unfathomable feeling.
"Xiaoyu, eat more."
Yi Yun noticed that Zuoyan Xiaoyu was only willing to take a tiny bite of each dish. Therefore, he took out a large spoon and scooped up half a bowl for her.
"Young Master, I …"
Zuoyan Xiaoyu was overwhelmed by the favor, but with the food already in her bowl, she could not take it back.
"Eat it. It's Song Bowen's after all. It would be a waste not to eat it. Besides, I feel that eating this food will be a lot more beneficial to your cultivation than me. I think you are about to make a breakthrough."
…
Yi Yun enjoyed the meal to his heart's content. It had been a long time since he had such a gourmet feast.
Back in the Myriad Divine Territory, Yi Yun had entered seclusion for twenty-five years. He nearly did not eat or drink. Following that, he went to the Mirage Sea Realm. In the few years he spent in the Mirage Sea Realm, Yi Yun led a carefree life with Huan Chenxue. Huan Chenxue was an otherworldly woman. She typically ate spirit flowers and drank morning dew. Although such food was elegant, it was definitely not delicious to Yi Yun. How could it compare to the delicacies meticulously prepared by a medicinal chef?
Yi Yun felt that just the monthly feast of the Myriad God Ridge was enough reason for him to continue staying.
That night, after Yi Yun ate and drank his fill, he began to meditate in reclusion. After eating the 17 dishes together, Yi Yun felt the Yuan Qi gather in his body. Although it was not intense, it was endless. It made him feel like he was about to break through.
In fact, Yi Yun had been cultivating in the Mirage Sea Realm for several years and his cultivation level was already very close to the fifth-storey Dao Palace. Now that he was on the brink of a breakthrough, it was not thanks to the meal. Even without the meal, he could have naturally broken through in a few months. Now, it had saved Yi Yun some time.
Sunken Moon Tower was a place suitable for seclusion, so Yi Yun spent three days and three nights in seclusion.
During this period, Zuoyan Xiaoyu kept watch in Sunken Moon Tower's yard.
While she was watching over Yi Yun, she was also cultivating. The array formation gathered large amounts of Yuan Qi, and with the Sunken Moon Wood nourishing her soul, Zuoyan Xiaoyu's cultivation went extremely smoothly.
She only took two days to absorb more than half the Yuan Qi energy from the seventeen dishes. As her realm was low, she managed to break through earlier than Yi Yun. Her present cultivation level had already reached the perfected Yuan Opening realm.
This cultivation level was pretty good for her age. However, she was still separated from Yi Yun by the Heaven Ascension realm and the Dao Manifestation realm before she could condense a Dao Palace.
Even so, Zuoyan Xiaoyu was overjoyed.
If she had not entered the Myriad God Ridge, she guessed that she would need at least another three years to grow her Dao Seed into a Dao Tree and officially step into the Heaven Ascension realm.
Now, the time it took for her to step into the Heaven Ascension realm could be shortened to a few months.
She was even looking forward to Yi Yun coming out of seclusion so that she could show him the fruits of her cultivation. Although Zuoyan Xiaoyu knew that the fruits of her cultivation were nothing, she would be overjoyed if she could win even a nod from Yi Yun.
Just as Zuoyan Xiaoyu was eagerly anticipating, there was a knock on the door.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu opened the door and saw four people. They were dressed in Myriad God Ridge's steward robes. Their facial expressions were expressionless as though they were doing official business.
"Are you outer-sect disciple Zuoyan Xiaoyu?"
The man leading the group said coldly to Zuoyan Xiaoyu. His voice did not contain any emotions.
"Yes … It's me …" Zuoyan Xiaoyu was taken aback. From his attire, he was likely the Myriad God Ridge's steward.
"Yea, your job has been switched. From this moment forth, you do not need to continue being a maidservant in Sunken Moon Tower. Follow us. We will arrange a new job for you."
"Ah?" Zuoyan Xiaoyu's breathing stagnated. She once felt that being able to enter the Myriad God Ridge and become Yi Yun's maidservant was the luckiest and happiest thing in her life. She never expected that this happiness would vanish in less than three days?
