I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2443 - 1090: Wishing the Sect Eternal Existence (Part 3)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Within the radiant silver glow, Chen Mobai had reached the Nine Heavens Immortal City.
"Greetings, Master Chen!"
The Golden Core Cultivator from the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, positioned in front of the teleportation array, bowed deeply with respect as soon as he spotted Chen Mobai.
"The crisis at Tongtian Peak is now resolved."
As he prepared to depart, Chen Mobai uttered these words to comfort the folks in the Nine Heavens Immortal City.
"I, your disciple Qi Yingyu, will forever engrave Master Chen's aid in my heart!"
Qi Yingyu stood up after his words, but he saw Chen Mobai gesture farewell before vanishing into the teleportation array.
Shortly afterward, Nascent Soul Cultivator Zhong Yanhe, the guardian of the Nine Heavens Immortal City, showed up alongside a few city authorities. Learning of the update, he gravely cupped his hands in the direction of the Eastern Wilderness.
"Henceforth, in this Immortal City, the Five Elements Commerce Association and South Mountain Shop will enjoy eternal tax exemption."
Zhong Yanhe directed the tax-handling disciple in the Nine Heavens Immortal City. Even if a Deity Transformation True Monarch looked down on such Spirit Stones, showing thanks in every possible way remained essential.
"Understood, Master!"
Eastern Wilderness, Northern Abyss City.
Above the Sky Meal Building, a flash of silver light appeared, and Chen Mobai emerged from the emptiness, flickering once more to reclaim his earlier spot.
"You're back."
Spotting Chen Mobai materialize abruptly at her side, Qing Nu gave a gentle smile and passed him a cup of wine that was still refreshingly cold.
Chen Mobai accepted it with an outstretched hand, downed the entire contents in a single swig, and sensed the chilly liquid slide down his throat before dispersing across his frame. That invigorating chill caused a subtle furrow in his brow, as if he chided himself: "Excellent brew. Regrettably, my delay at Tongtian Peak meant I lost the peak taste."
"Master, allow me to cool another cup for you!"
Zhuo Ming quickly chimed in after catching those words.
"Master Chen's safe return is upon us; evidently, you and Headmaster Ni jointly quelled the disaster striking the Nine Heavens Morality Sect. This calls for a grand toast."
Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix beamed with the utmost delight at Chen Mobai's reappearance. Baffled by the swiftness though they were, they stood promptly and raised their cups in salute to him.
"I guess you're right!"
Rather than bragging of his feats, Chen Mobai offered a mild grin and warmly clinked glasses with Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix, draining his cup once more.
"With Master Chen achieving immortal status, our preparations were scant. Luckily, Ren Qiu delivered the main branch's cooking tools just recently; perhaps we could whip up a True Spirit Dish to mark the occasion."
Cannon Dragon suggested this anew once the drinks were savored.
Earlier on, Chen Mobai had heard from Qing Nu how preparing Rank-5 Civet Power blood and flesh demanded not just the custom utensils from Sky Meal Building, but also the purified Breath of Prominence that Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix had honed over eight centuries as the flame essence, ensuring the True Spirit essence stayed intact in the dish while boosting its flavor.
"How could I impose cooking duties on my visitors?"
Chen Mobai declined with a shake of his head, yet Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix insisted on taking charge in the kitchen, declaring it the sole fitting tribute to their elation over Master Chen's breakthrough.
Their resolve left Chen Mobai with no choice but to agree.
Besides, he truly hadn't sampled any fare crafted from Rank-5 True Spirit materials before.
Qing Nu swiftly retrieved a stored slab of Civet Power flesh, which Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix received eagerly.
The elite cooks of the Tianhe Realm truly shone through, for in no time at all, a tantalizing scent wafted up to the upper level, igniting Chen Mobai's eager hunger.
As the vibrant platter of meat stew arrived, Chen Mobai scooped up a portion right away.
Tender morsels of meat mingled with the hearty soup, and as they hit the tongue, a robust umami flavor burst forth amid the teeth, bearing a subtle soil-like note, yet it whetted Chen Mobai's hunger all the same.
"Marvelous indeed, my friends—you're real experts; no meal has ever delighted me quite like this."
To Chen Mobai, be it in the Tianhe Realm or back at the Immortal Gate, this marked his debut with Rank-5 True Spirit cuisine; at minimum, it gladdened his spirit and signified a fresh milestone.
"Master Chen flatters us too much; it's a shame my sister and I lag in our cultivation—the Breath of Prominence falls short of Rank-5, forcing us to grind the Civet Power flesh fine for full cooking, plus blending in assorted veggies to mask that soil tang..."
Cannon Dragon pointed out the flaws once Chen Mobai had sampled the dish.
Despite Chen Mobai felling the Civet Power himself, the lingering Rank-5 True Strength within the flesh proved too potent for Nascent Soul Cultivators to tame with ease.
It took Cannon Dragon and Roasted Phoenix's masterful cooking prowess to pull it off.
"Were my realm high enough, or if we had matching-rank elements to offset the earthy flavor prior to preparing the intact Civet Power flesh, the result would be far more exquisite."
Cannon Dragon voiced his deep disappointment over the matter.
For a figure like him, opportunities to handle Rank-5 materials remained rare gems.
Whenever feasible, he yearned to craft it flawlessly.
"You ought to have mentioned that sooner, my friend!"
At those words, Chen Mobai gave a soft clap, parted the void, and unveiled a crystalline water cauldron brimming with luminous dragon blood and scores of dark dragon scale shards.
"This comes from the little flood dragon of the fleeing Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, struck by my blade at Tongtian Peak; its tier matches Civet Power, with an even purer lineage. I'm not certain if blending this in would assist your efforts, friend."
The moment Chen Mobai concluded, shock rippled through everyone in attendance!
