Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 360 - 170: Luo Qingyao’s Sword Ceremony

Nearly ten thousand people serve less than a thousand.

This is just the situation on these Peixun Lake Islands. Looking at the entire Luo Family’s industry, it’s a different scale altogether.

As soon as Fan Wubing stepped onto the island specifically responsible for preparing immortal cuisine, he immediately smelled the rich aroma of immortal food in the air.

The innate Dao charm flowing from all sorts of ingredients intertwined and swirled in the air.

As soon as he felt this, Fan Wubing furrowed his brow. He was certain that with just this level of performance, it was absolutely impossible to create the kind of immortal food Luo Qingyao would want to eat.

They were simply not in the same category.

The group, carrying their ingredients, entered the highest kitchen on the island. The kitchen was an Immortal Kitchen specifically used for cooking immortal cuisine, and all the facilities and structures inside were designed to serve the purpose of cooking immortal food.

After Yuan Qiye arranged for people to stay in an adjacent prep room, he left on his own.

After a while, he returned with an immortal chef dressed in a uniform specifically for immortal chefs.

This immortal chef had a big head and thick neck, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a flat nose, his belly protruding in a half-general manner, truly embodying Fan Wubing’s idea of a chef in every way.

Yuan Qiye said to Fan Wubing, "This is Pang Da Xian Chef."

"Pang Da Xian Chef." Fan Wubing nodded in greeting.

Pang Da Xian Chef didn’t bother with Fan Wubing; he quickly went to check the delivered ingredients and, after confirming there were no issues, instructed people to take them all to a different kitchen and called Fan Wubing to come along.

Since the food was prepared for a specific person, it naturally needed a specialized kitchen. For this matter, they even set up a separate kitchen.

Pang Da Xian Chef was under great pressure. When he first received the task from the main island, he was very puzzled. Where could you find immortal food that was both flavorful and effective?

This went against the very concept of immortal food!

Immortal food mainly aims to enhance the effects of the ingredients, focusing on their natural flavors. Adding various complex spices would make it unstable, drastically reducing its effectiveness.

Traditionally, it’s always been a choice between either flavor or effect.

You can’t have both fish and bear’s paw; this is a principle every immortal chef understands when they start learning to prepare immortal food.

But unfortunately, the main island refused any explanations. If you couldn’t accomplish the tasked work, it wasn’t because the task was harsh but because you weren’t capable.

In the specialized kitchen, Pang Da Xian Chef said to Fan Wubing, "You tell me what characteristics these ingredients have."

Fan Wubing pointed to the container holding Moon Immortal Vegetables and said, "Moon Immortal Vegetables originate from the Little South Continent. From planting to maturity, it usually takes two years. Two-year-old Moon Immortal Vegetables have a fresh, crisp taste and an effect of inducing salivation, blending three flavors: sweet, bitter, and astringent... But this batch of Moon Immortal Vegetables has only been cultivated for three months, so the effect is probably average."

For each ingredient Fan Wubing introduced, he added, "Only cultivated for three months, the effect is average." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This made Pang Da Xian Chef frown continuously, unsure whether Fan Wubing was implying something or just being honest.

"Enough, enough, just stand aside." Pang Da Xian Chef waved his hand and then took out a list compiled from the air and began to read it.

With a shift in his spirit, Fan Wubing clearly saw the list’s contents.

A serving of Moon Immortal Vegetable soaked goose, a serving of Twin-pepper Dragon Rabbit, a serving of Yangluo Flower stewed Barbarian Blood Pig Trotter...

Seeing these dishes, Fan Wubing’s heart grew heavier.

All these dishes were ones he had made at the Eternal Immortal Sect, detailed so thoroughly that nearly not a single dish was left out.

Luo Qingyao’s suspicion was increasing.

No ordinary immortal chef could make these dishes.

If she asked for this just to satisfy her own cravings, then it could only be said that she had resumed her spoiled and capricious nature upon returning home.

This menu gave Pang Da Xian Chef a hard time.

Many dishes on the list were ones he had never even heard of; how was he supposed to make them?

Fan Wubing approached a disciple who was preparing ingredients and asked, "I heard this is being prepared for a noble; if it’s for one person, does it require so many ingredients?"

The disciple shook his head, "Indeed, you’re just a farmer, don’t even understand this much. The main island did say it’s only for a noble, but think about it. Since it’s for a noble, it has to be perfect, right?"

"Indeed."

"Immortal food that’s flavorful and effective is hard to cook. Even Pang Da Xian Chef would definitely waste a lot of ingredients. So, the task we received from the main island was to prepare one dish. But when we pass this to Yuan Qiye who’s responsible for preparations, at least a hundred servings would be safe, right? Yuan Qiye is also afraid of not having enough, considering all possible losses, and demands turned into ten thousand servings when it reached you immortal farmers."

The disciple was very proud, being quite pleased at having grasped this truth.

Fan Wubing slapped his forehead; so that’s how it was. The truth he understood in a previous life unexpectedly needed to be reminded in this place.

Even as such, an offhand remark from a noble, layer by layer downward, lands heavily like a mountain on the last link.

"Years of tranquility and progress despite burdens" - such rhetoric applies in the Cultivation Realm as well.

Fan Wubing felt even more stifled, casting a glance toward the main island.

Pang Da Xian Chef began the cooking.

The results, naturally, were very tragic.

The various dishes on the list, achieving both taste and effect - it’s not something an ordinary immortal chef can accomplish.

A large amount of ingredients, all wasted on attempts.

Considering these ingredients were cultivated with painstaking effort by dozens of immortal farmers, now wasted in this kitchen, Fan Wubing felt even heavier in his heart.
