All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 827 - 155 Celebration

Chapter 827: Chapter 155 Celebration

Yan Gui True Lord’s Mirror Self returned to the talisman, and An Jing also decided to find a time later to discuss this matter with the Grandmaster.

"The Mirror Self is indeed a good thing... The Basic Secret Transmission of the Bright Mirror Sect’s ’Heart Quiet Miraculous Way True Scripture of Void and Self’ has also been passed on to me. Coupled with the special abilities I possess from my Life Observation Eyes, this divine skill should be cultivated well."

In addition... An Jing remembered that although the Mirror Self is the Basic Divine Power of the Bright Mirror Sect, it could evolve into a Great Divine Power in the future. This Great Divine Power is considered the highest secret of the Bright Mirror Sect, a secret even An Jing does not know yet.

Of course, An Jing believed that if he wanted to know, he could ask and get answers now. But since he hadn’t even mastered the Mirror Self yet, there was no need to rush.

As for now... it’s better to prepare for the celebration gathering.

It would be false to say An Jing’s cooking skills are excellent, it’s not as though he is a Kitchen God, but at least back in the martial arts hall in his previous life, no one ever said his cooking was bad. Everyone always devoured everything, which greatly boosted An Jing’s confidence.

However, this was strictly in the modern environment of his past life, meaning with abundant seasonings, spices, and professional kitchen equipment.

This time, An Jing traversed to the Great Void. Besides meeting Yan Gui True Lord, he also planned to procure some supplies from the Tianyuan Realm.

There were no surprises during this procurement trip. The Tianyuan Realm is quite peaceful now, with everyone focused on the new ancient immortal ruins passage in the North Lake Marsh District. Several new gangs in the city are contending for the territory left by the Night Niche Gang.

After all, in a cultivation society, everyone’s calculations are very long-term. A few months or half a year is nothing significant, so there aren’t many changes.

After buying kitchen utensils and seasonings and leaving a copy of his recent insights on cultivation for Huo Qing and Nian Quan, An Jing returned to the Huai Xu Realm to prepare for cooking.

He was going to prepare a whole bull feast.

The quality and quantity of ingredients in the Huai Xu Realm far surpass those in the Tianyuan Realm. A robust bull in the Tianyuan Realm is a luxury not easily afforded by the lower classes. On normal days, being able to eat some offal is considered good, as most people consume artificial cans and meat.

But in the Huai Xu Realm, An Jing could even select a few perfect, medium-sized Green-Backed Spiritual Bulls from thousands in the Spirit Land Ranch under Star Dawn Peak, picking the best of the best.

Similarly, the seasonings and special methods of the Tianyuan Realm are also unparalleled in the Huai Xu Realm. Not to mention common seasonings, the Tianyuan Realm has a unique flavor enhancer made from the leaf powder of a ’Heavenly Fragrant Spirit Wood.’ Despite its name suggesting elegance, this spirit wood is actually a carnivorous plant that lures spirit beasts into traps with its aroma, which pierces through one’s tongue straight to the mind.

The flavor enhancer made with this is less a seasoning and more a talisman, stimulating the soul to directly feel deliciousness.

Why would An Jing, a chef, choose to use this?

The answer is simple.

An Jing is not exactly a perfectionist chef.

He is more of a well-funded cafeteria chef, throwing in all good ingredients, meat when available, in large quantities to fill up stomachs. As long as it’s tasty, don’t ask why it’s tasty.

Quality ingredients are a must, special methods are used, and food must be eaten. Only this is balanced!

Indeed, An Jing’s approach proved to be a dimensional demotion for the Huai Xu Realm.

Not to mention the ordinary disciples who seldom eat spirit beast meat, even the few True Transmission disciples in the private room of Mingguang Peak’s dining hall were thoroughly enjoying the beef tongue, beef brisket, and oxtail soup, all made with the fine wine produced by Heguang.

"Heavens, how incredible, An, your cooking skills are... so excellent!"

Zuo Tiannan, slightly tipsy, was savoring the wine. Although he is specialized in Escape Skill and should not let his mind become dull, the rare indulgence was pleasing: "I’ve never eaten... such delicious meat..."

"Even, it’s almost too delicious to be real..."

Shi Liang, too, took another large bite of the wine-braised beef brisket, tender and flavorful, the richness of the taste softening his usually unwavering expression: "It feels almost like an illusion technique..."

——Perhaps the seasoning was a bit too much.

An Jing reflected inwardly, but laughed aloud: "It’s the spices! I used a special secret seasoning!"

"Oh! No wonder!"

Everyone else was essentially too drunk to grasp what An Jing meant by his words.

The most animated eater was Mou Yunying. This usually dashing and courteous Eldest Senior was almost devouring vigorously, hardly speaking. Even Luo Qinghui, who had publicly acknowledged his relationship with Mou Yunying and was sitting openly by his side, showed a worried expression: "Hey Old Mou, if you eat so much, what will I eat?"

"Ah, sorry..." Mou Yunying realized, stopping himself. Embarrassed, he looked at An Jing: "I just find these dishes particularly delicious... it’s not just me, but my body seems to really enjoy this food?"

"Why? I’ve eaten spiritual beef before as well." Feeling puzzled, Mou Yunying casually popped a few beef meatballs from the hot pot into his mouth: "Could it be the secret seasoning? Or is it An’s skill? Hmm... Regardless, it’s so delicious. Despite our master’s teachings of moderation, I must respect An’s rare act of cooking personally!"

Seeing everyone eating so cheerfully, An Jing was naturally delighted too. However, Mou Yunying’s unusual state made him suspect it might be due to the Pure Land People’s constitution.

Are they particularly resistant to the effects of potent substances, or are they not tolerant due to living in the pure Great Void?

No matter, An Jing noted ’characteristics of the Pure Land People’ in his memo.

It was a joyous celebration, initiated spontaneously by the young generation of True Transmission disciples from each peak, to celebrate An Jing’s return to the sect, the victory of the demon eradication at Mingguang Peak, and the public acknowledgment of Mou Yunying and Luo Qinghui’s relationship.

The elders from each peak were all supportive and openly encouraged it. The celebration didn’t end abruptly, but rather lasted for three whole days. The fervor quickly spread across Mingguang Peak, becoming a significant happy event celebrated by the entire sect. Banquet tables were set up in the plaza and near living quarters, allowing Outer Sect disciples and even some non-affiliated personnel within the sect to participate freely, receiving spirit stones as welfare from the sect.

During this celebration, An Jing also sparred with other True Transmission disciples.

Without holding back, he pointed out the martial skills’ flaws of everyone, just like analyzing the Children of Calamity, completely transparent and thorough. Even the dullest person could clearly see how impactful his advice was for their improvement, let alone these prodigies.

As a result, though An Jing was not the Eldest Senior and had only entered the sect recently, he soon became the unspoken leader among the young generation of the Bright Mirror Sect.
