Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Not Using Talent for Barbecue 1

Translator: 549690339 —

“Three-flavored True Fire?” Lu Yang was puzzled, thinking to himself that Eldest Senior Sister could not even distinguish between “Ett” (Samadhi) and “-tt” (three flavors). The two characters may look similar, but they are pronounced entirely differently.

Immediately, Lu Yang remembered that Eldest Senior Sister’s literacy level was probably higher than his own.

Lu Yang forced a calm laugh and said, “Ha ha ha, Eldest Senior Sister you’re joking, right? You taught me Samadhi True Fire; how could I learn Three- flavored True Fire?”

“Impossible, just impossible.”

Yun Zhi didn’t explain but signaled to the puppet to fetch a piece of Demon Beast Meat from the kitchen.

With an unexposed method, Yun Zhi made the Demon Beast Meat hover and spin in the air: “Roast it with True Fire.”

Lu Yang exuded True Fire from his mouth, the sizzling Demon Beast Meat began to exude oil. A delicious aroma quickly wafted out, causing Lu Yang to swallow his saliva.

Although Lu Yang’s True Fire was not as powerful as the one demonstrated by Yun Zhi, it was much more vigorous than ordinary flames, and it didn’t take long for the Demon Beast Meat to be roasted.

“Try it yourself.” Yun Zhi said.

Lu Yang used his finger as a blade, sliced a small piece, and put it in his mouth. The delicious taste was rather toothsome.

This piece of Demon Beast Meat didn’t have any seasoning, yet it gave Lu Yang the feeling of having salt for flavor, sugar for freshness, and peppers for a fragrant twist.

Indeed, it was Three-flavored True Fire.

There must be a problem somewhere.” Lu Yang seriously analyzed. He indeed followed every step taught by Eldest Senior Sister and practiced under the demonstration of a Great Power like her. There was no way he could have messed up.

“Let me try again. I’ll surely succeed!”

Yun Zhi nodded, “It’s great that you have the will. So tonight’s dinner is on you.

It will consolidate what you’ ve learned today.”

Having said that, Yun Zhi turned around and went back to the Abode to meditate, quietly waiting for Lu Yang’s meal.

“No, wait, I didn’t mean that…” Lu Yang felt that Eldest Senior Sister misunderstood his determination, but alas, she was already out of sight, leaving only the puppet now accompanying Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed and called the puppet into the kitchen.

This was Lu Yang’s first time in the Sky Gate Mountain’s kitchen. Usually, it was the puppet who did the cooking; Lu Yang had never cooked before.

Exhausted from daily practice, he had no energy left to cook.

As expected of Eldest Senior Sister’s exclusive kitchen—it was bigger than the stadium of his past life. Binfuls of neatly arranged ingredients and several- meter-high Judi Oxen bodies were seen everywhere. The formidable appearances of the Oxen only gave a hint of how powerful they must have been when alive.

Pity these Oxen didn’t see her coming in the Central Continent, killing them with a single blow. They didn’t even realize they were dead.

Lu Yang has basic cooking skills, but those are limited to ordinary ingredients.

The ingredients placed before him were none that he could recognize.

“Now, what should I cook? I wonder what Eldest Senior Sister likes to eat? She seems to be eating everything and nothing in particular each meal.”

The master likes grilled food the most.” A sudden voice came, startling Lu Yang.

Lu Yang turned his head and saw it was the puppet talking.

The puppet was wooden and shaped like a woman, except its face wasn’t sculpted. It had been with Lu Yang since his first day of practice, but he never knew it could talk?!

“Why are you looking at me?” The puppet spoke again, assuring Lu Yang this was not a hallucination.

“You can talk? Howcome I’ve never heard you speak before?”

“Why should I talk to a fool?”

“You…” Lu Yang was lost for words. If it weren’t for him being no match for it, he would have dismantled this damned puppet.

“You said Eldest Senior Sister likes barbecue? How is it that I’ve never seen her eat it?” Lu Yang suspiciously looked at the puppet.

He knew of a magic skill called puppetry and masters who specialized in it were named puppeteers, and that the Yanshi Sect was even composed entirely of puppeteers among the First-Grade sects.

What he didn’t know, however, was the limit of puppetry-could they be this astute?

Please say at least this puppet belongs to Eldest Senior Sister?

“The master doesn’t have the habit of revealing her personal preferences to others.” The puppet responded to Lu Yang with an air of disdain.

“See that Kui Ox on your right? Chop off its thigh. The master likes to eat that part.”

“I’ll take your word for it this time.” Lu Yang didn’t think the puppet had a reason to tease him.

He took out his Green Peak Sword and swung it at the thigh of the Kui Ox. The body of the Kui Ox began to glow, propelling Lu Yang backward and landing him straight into a pile of flour, covering him in white.

“Cough, Cough, What cultivation level was this ox at when it was alive?” Lu Yang was certain this ox had an astoundingly high cultivation level when it was alive, making it invulnerable even after death.

The puppet didn’t answer and instead smashed the golden protective light around the Kui Ox’s body: “Try again.”

Slash!” Lu Yang unleashed the slash character, causing minor external damage.

The power of Slash was inferior to Break, but it had a wider range and could be used multiple times.

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

Lu Yang used the Slash three times consecutively, depleting his spiritual essence. The puppet timely fed him a Great Recovery Pill.

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

“Slash!”

Great Recovery Pill.

This pattern continued – Slash, Slash, Slash, Great Recovery Pill – until enough was cut off for a meal.

Having just prepared the food, Lu Yang was breathless. He spread himself on the ground, while the puppet kept giving him the Great Recovery Pill.

This scenario seemed eerily familiar to Lu Yang.

Though it was better left unsaid, the Great Recovery Pill indeed worked. After taking it, Lu Yang was full of vim and vigor again, and he continued with the cooking.

Use your Sword Qi to shred the meat tendons,” suggested the puppet at one side.

The tip of the Green Peak Sword pierced into the Kui Ox’s flesh, releasing Sword Qi. To Lu Yang, the Qi felt like a stone sinking into the ocean, unable to create even the slightest ripple.

“Keep going, keep going. You’re the best,” encouraged the puppet, but its tone was so monotonous that Lu Yang didn’t feel motivated at all.

Lu Yang fumed, “Can’t you be a bit more passionate?”

The puppet willingly obliged, “Lu Yang, although your cultivation level is quite low and you tend to learn things in your unique way, lose to me, but you have been trying really hard. Keep going!”

Lu Yang gritted his teeth, continuously escalating the power of releasing Sword

Qi. Finally, the Sword Qi successfully entered the Kui Ox’s flesh, gradually cutting off the tendons.

After finishing this full process, Lu Yang was exhausted and in no mood to argue with the puppet.

When it was time for roasting the meat, Lu Yang gulped down Great Recovery Pills while using Three-flavored True Fire to cook. The fragrance of meat soon wafted out of the kitchen.

“What a tantalizing smell, what’s cooking here?” Asked Uncle Ba, who walked into the kitchen in search of the source of the aroma and noticed Lu Yang roasting something.

“Uncle Ba, what brought you here?” Lu Yang asked in surprise.

Uncle Ba smiled and pulled out a can of tea leaves, “I just got this Enlightenment Tea and thought I’d bring it to Yun Zhi. I came here following this wonderful scent. I see you’re roasting Kui Ox. It must’ve been quite a task for you with your current cultivation level, huh?”

Lu Yang chuckled embarrassingly in response.

“Hey, you had been inquiring about Old Nine earlier. Did you find any information about his whereabouts?”

Given his master was due to come out of seclusion soon, Lu Yang saw no harm in telling Uncle Ba about his master’s retreat in the pine forest.

Upon hearing the news, Uncle Ba’s eyes lit up. “As they say, every rogue has his day. That damned Old Nine has been confined by Yun Zhi!”

Putting down his Enlightenment Tea, he got up to leave, “I have to go now.

Have some urgent matters to attend.”

I need to tell our junior brothers about this immediately. Let us all watch Old Nine together!”
