Entering the bamboo house, Liang Yi found the interior to look just like an ordinary kitchen, if one ignored the various kitchen tools shimmering with Spirit Light and the fresh vegetables and meats emitting astonishing fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

Turning his back towards Liang Yi and the others, the figure at the stove gently sprinkled some red powder into the pot and stirred a few times casually, then tasted the clear soup with a spoon.

Looking satisfied, he covered the source of the aroma with a lid and began simmering it on low heat. Upon hearing voices, he turned to face the few new arrivals in his kitchen.

Liang Yi observed the exquisite kitchen tools crafted by skilled artisans, made with various rare and unique mystic irons, which reminded him of ancient animations that mentioned kitchen tools with incredible abilities, somewhat similar to these.

To do good work, one must first sharpen one's tools. A top Spirit Chef not only needs superb cooking skills but also top-tier kitchen tools for assistance.

Only with these tools can a Spirit Chef perfectly preserve the original flavors of the ingredients.

Su Youyi also marveled, having never known that there were so many types of kitchen tools. She realized that her poor cooking skills were due to not having the right tools.

"So it's you, you gluttonous girl…"

Mo Yuanxing turned back with a kindly smile.

He had noticed Liang Yi and the others entering earlier but didn't greet them due to being busy studying the new soup. Now that the research had reached a milestone, he finally had some free time.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi had already taken a few looks at this elderly man when he turned around. From his Spiritual Power aura, this old man seemed to be just a cultivator in the later stages of the Sixth Realm.

The top Spirit Chef master of Little Bamboo House had a well-proportioned figure, neither burly nor skinny. Although he looked quite old, with wrinkles covering his face, his spirit was surprisingly good, smiling kindly at Liang Yi and the others.

The old man's hair and beard were snow-white but were meticulously groomed by their owner, appearing quite neat in complement with the moon-white Spirit Chef robe he wore.

"Where am I greedy? I just occasionally come over for a meal!"

Feng Yuyou's face turned slightly red for a moment, and she stealthily glanced at Liang Yi, noticing that his expression hadn't changed.

Uncle Mo refused to act his age, insisting on being called 'Uncle' even though he was old enough to be a grandfather. Moreover, his words made her seem gluttonous, when, in fact, she only came over for a meal once a month when she was free.

"Are these two the high disciples from Taoist Sect?"

Mo Yuanxing greeted Orange Grandpa and seemed very familiar before turning to look at Liang Yi and Su Youyi at the doorway.

"Yes! They were in seclusion in Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo until today."

Feng Yuyou nodded, simply updating the situation without going into details, as Liang Yi and Su Youyi were already too famous, and Uncle Mo had long heard of them.

"Oh...Perfect timing, I've been researching a new Nether Lotus Dragon Language Treasure Soup this month, and your friend has been craving it for a long time."

Although Mo Yuanxing said so, he still looked up and down at the young man and woman with a surprised expression, never having seen such handsome figures in his lifetime.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken in his senses, were these two actually cultivators of the Seventh Realm already?

He had felt Su Youyi's promotion anomaly, the chilling sword spirit still made him shudder even now when he thought of it. A phenomenon of that level once it appeared, as long as Su Youyi did not fall, her place among the pinnacle powerhouses of Mystical Mechanism Continent was inevitable.

Yet this cold and proud Sword Empress now stood demurely and adorably next to Liang Yi, showing none of her previous intimidating aura.

And Liang Yi had quietly advanced to the Seventh Realm as well!

"Monsters, true monsters…"

Mo Yuanxing sighed inwardly. He himself was only at the later stages of the Sixth Realm. With his talent, this was the farthest he could go in his life unless some incredible opportunity arose.

These two youngsters weren't even a tenth of his age yet had already far surpassed him, a sentiment even Mo Yuanxing, who had seen many geniuses, felt deeply.

In the realm before the shackles of Heavenly Dao were unlocked, cultivators of the Seventh Realm were already the insurmountable peak of Mystical Mechanism Continent, and founding a sect to be remembered through the ages was not out of the question.

"Today my Treasure Soup is almost complete, you're all in for a treat."

Following his reflection, Mo Yuanxing smiled. His pursuit was not in cultivation, but if he could make some breakthroughs in culinary arts before his death, he would die without regrets.

"Oh? Then we are truly fortunate, meow."

Orange Grandpa carefully approached the pot of soup being simmered by pale blue flames, his expression slightly intoxicated and anticipating.

In fact, before making this Treasure Soup, Mo Yuanxing had some difficulties that were only solved after he provided a few tips.

"Then many thanks to Chef Mo!"

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged a glance, their eyes also filled with anticipation.

After smelling the increasingly appealing and intoxicating aroma in the air, both he and his junior sister couldn't wait to taste it.

"Old Yang, has Old Temple and the others left?"

Mo Yuanxing casually inquired of Orange Grandpa after adding some special spices to the soup, estimating the time.

"Yes, they left a couple of days ago, meow."

Orange Grandpa nodded while watching the fire beside.

"Is that so…"

Mo Yuanxing sighed softly, his expression somewhat wistful, and his demeanor seemed slightly downcast, with his silhouette revealing a hint of loneliness.

"Chef Mo, what's wrong?"

Upon seeing Mo Yuanxing in this state, Su Youyi quietly asked Feng Yuyou beside her.

"Actually, most people in Bamboo Town have already gone to the front lines to help, but Uncle Mo, early in his years, ventured into a Secret Realm to obtain a precious ingredient and fell ill, unable to use his Spiritual Power for long periods, so he had to stay here."

Feng Yuyou's tone had lost its previous aloofness as he hesitated, then softly explained after hearing Su Youyi's inquiry.

"Uncle Yang and Uncle Si, both of them are Uncle Mo's close friends, competing daily on who could advance further in culinary arts. Now that both of them are not here, Uncle Mo might be feeling a bit lost."

Su Youyi nodded, suddenly realizing why she felt something was off with Mo Yuanxing when they met.

"Phew, it's finally ready!"

White steam suddenly rose from the pot, with milky white halos flickering, the temperature in the room surged, and even the concentration of Spiritual Power within seemed to have increased.

In other words, as long as this Treasure Soup existed in a place long enough, it could even transform that place into a Spirit Land.

With two swings of his big hand, Mo Yuanxing dispersed the mist in front of him, looking down satisfied at the glowing milky white dense soup in the pot.

Old Man Ju blissfully squinted his eyes, taking a deep breath. To a cat, what can be more delicious than fish?

Snow-white lotus seeds were almost indistinguishable in the milk-like rich soup. With Mo Yuanxing's movements, you could see the deboned fish meat settling among it.

"Let's go, let's sit in the courtyard."

Mo Yuanxing directly picked up the pot made from stardust mystic iron and, after giving Feng Yuyou a look, turned and walked towards the door.

Feng Yuyou understood and subtly pointed Su Youyi towards a sandalwood cabinet next to her.

Following Feng Yuyou's direction, Liang Yi and Su Youyi saw in the cabinet's corner, neatly arranged, were dozen pairs of exquisite bowls and spoons carved from green porcelain and white jade.

Recognizing the rare material of these bowls and spoons, Liang Yi raised his eyebrows.

"This is a bit extravagant, isn't it? Bowls and spoons made from Ancestral Mystic Jade?"

"For other Cultivators, these might be used to store precious Elixirs or Spiritual Medicines, but for a Spirit Chef, using them to serve prepared Spirit Food ensures the taste remains almost perfectly unaffected."

Seeing Liang Yi's expression, Feng Yuyou explained while counting out bowls and spoons for five people.

Liang Yi clicked his tongue, using Third Grade spiritual materials to make bowls, that's something unique!

"Hurry up, hurry up, this master can't wait anymore!"

Old Man Ju eagerly urged, saliva almost dripping on the ground.

After leaving the kitchen, they arrived at the courtyard and found Mo Yuanxing had already arranged tables and chairs, waiting under the fluttering shade of trees.

"Come over, let the old man taste how this one turned out."

Mo Yuanxing cheerily waved to them, feeling a bit youthful in the company of these youngsters.

"Here we come!"

Feng Yuyou and Su Youyi placed the bowls and spoons on the table, allowing Mo Yuanxing to personally serve.

Silky, milky soup elegantly fell from the spoon into the bowls like a galaxy, so pure it contained no impurities.

"Senior Brother, would you like to taste it?"

When it was Liang Yi and Su Youyi's turn, Su Youyi did not let Mo Yuanxing serve, instead personally ladling out a bowl for herself and her Senior Brother.

Looking at his Junior Sister's gentle expressions at that moment, receiving the white jade bowl from her, Liang Yi unexpectedly felt a sense of virtuousness and an atmosphere of an old married couple from her.

[Nether Lotus Dragon Fish Soup]: Made from the essence of the Nether Lotus seeds, which can only be harvested once every hundred years, coupled with dragon fish meat possessing a trace of True Dragon bloodline. It greatly increases the eater's speed of absorbing Spiritual Power in a short time, enhancing the recovery speed of Spiritual Power significantly. The unique scent of Nether Lotus Seeds helps cleanse impurities within the body while the dragon fish meat subtly improves one's constitution.

Holding the bowl, the golden name and various splendid attributes directly appeared on Liang Yi's item panel.

The temperature had cooled down to just the right moment, and Liang Yi lightly sipped.

Like milk, the smooth sensation slid directly to his stomach, the rich and sweet fish flavor instantly filled his mouth, an ultimate freshness that brightened Liang Yi's eyes.

The natural scent of freshness mixed with the deep undercurrents of the ocean intertwined in his mouth, making Liang Yi feel as if he placed the entire forest into the sea, an unforgettable experience.

There was also a hint of a subtle char flavor hidden in the soup, which truly was the finishing touch.

Liang Yi pondered for a moment before realizing that this flavor must be due to the pale blue flame used during the soup cooking.

Liang Yi himself also had a secondary profession as a Spirit Chef, but now he fully understood how far he was from a true master.

Finishing the rich soup in a few gulps, Liang Yi contentedly put down his white jade bowl.

Beside him, Su Youyi, Old Man Ju, and Feng Yuyou all had expressions similar to Liang Yi's, showing satisfaction with the food in their mouths.

"Not bad, this one is finally up to standard."

Old Man Ju, satisfied, put down his bowl and licked his lips.
