Chapter 658: Chapter 359: Leftover Food, Grafting Spiritual Body!

Zhang Long’s home.

It took just over ten minutes.

A white-haired, spirited, and seemingly reliable elder chef arrived with two nimble middle-aged assistants, carrying a box and knocking on Zhang Long’s door.

After a brief introduction, the white-haired elder chef’s eyes lit up as he looked at the ingredients on the table, his expression gleaming as if he had discovered a treasure.

He hurriedly knocked and felt the lamb chops and chicken legs.

And he kept exclaiming in admiration,

"Good stuff, these are all good stuff!"

"May I start working now?"

Zhang Long noticed the man eagerly looking at him and couldn’t help but nod.

He then watched as the three of them took the ingredients and entered the kitchen.

The relative who had called him earlier had also mentioned,

the highly reliable white-haired elder chef,

was among the oldest masters of a certain cuisine.

Now retired, he had been hired as a special head chef by the most famous local hotel.

It was rumored that to enjoy a meal prepared by this head chef, one had to make a reservation and wait in line.

Zhang Long didn’t understand all these details, he just felt happy that everyone else was happy.

However, among the trio handling the ingredients, the two assistants soon noticed something amiss.

"This is not top-grade ingredients!"

One of the male assistants couldn’t help but blurt out.

His voice was not loud.

But Zhang Long’s house was similarly small,

allowing everyone in the living room to hear him clearly.

Some were slightly disappointed, while others heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that although the ingredients looked decent, they were only mid-grade.

With such quality, some of the wealthier families among them could grit their teeth and afford to eat such a meal once a year.

The gap between them and Zhang Long’s parents’ family... was not as large as they had initially imagined.

However,

the words that soon followed from the kitchen made them all widen their eyes:

"You just realized they are not top-grade?"

"Let me tell you, these are special-grade ingredients only meant for Transcendent beings to enjoy!"

"Experts say that the animals these ingredients come from might very well have turned into demon beasts."

"This, my friends, is the legendary demon beast meat!"

"A cater of supplies beyond top-grade!"

The living room fell into a long silence.

Even Zhang Long’s parents were shocked by these revelations, staring wide-eyed at Zhang Long.

Zhang Long saw the burning gazes of his relatives and friends, knowing he could no longer keep it a secret.

He spread his hands and revealed the truth:

"Mom and Dad, I also didn’t know what special supplies were brought."

"They were all prepared by my senior brother, and I’ve never tried them myself."

With that, Zhang Long paused for a moment,

then the uncle who had recovered from his state of shock urgently asked:

"You have a senior brother? Have you joined a sect?"

"My god, what’s your senior brother’s name?"

He couldn’t wait to hear the response,

and soon Zhang Long gave an answer that excited him immensely:

"I am now an outer disciple of Yunlai Immortal Sect."

"My senior brother... is Zhou Xuan, who has been on television before."

"Wow!"

Instantly, the breathing in the living room intensified,

and their gazes towards Zhang Long grew even more fervent.

They had initially thought that Zhang Long had been picked to be the subordinate of some spokesperson, much like a scholar being noticed by a high official in ancient times.

Little did they expect, he was much stronger than they had imagined!

He had directly become an Immortal Master!

A disciple of Yunlai Immortal Sect... If he made progress in his cultivation in the future... Unimaginable, it was unimaginable how glorious the Zhang Family would become!

Their relatives and friends wondered if they too might have a chance to rise to the top along with him?

Zhang Long experienced a feeling of being the center of attention like never before.

Every move of his became the absolute focus of the banquet.

Zhang Long thought he might enjoy this feeling,

but... as the meal prepared by the chef ended and he watched his relatives and friends leave with humble, pleasing smiles, packing up the leftover food,

and secretly competing over who packed a little more,

Zhang Long felt a moment of disorientation and realized he might not enjoy such clamor after all.

"This must be the fulfillment of my childhood desire to not be looked down upon, right?"

"Becoming the ’good child’ in the eyes of relatives and friends!"

"The wish is fulfilled, and now I understand that this feeling is just so-so, nowhere near the satisfaction cultivation brings."

"I begin to understand why my senior brothers are so indifferent to fame and fortune."

"This mortal fame and fortune... indeed isn’t much."

Zhang Long muttered to himself, and after the last few strangers, the trio that cooked left through the front door,

Zhang Long felt a stirring, and the front door closed on its own without any breeze.

After the meal, his aunt summoned the courage to ask if she could pack some food for the elderly at home, which Zhang Long agreed to,

leaving only more than a dozen bare plates and dishes on the table.

Not to mention leftovers, even the residual grease on the plates was scraped off quite clean.

Even the bones spat out by everyone during the meal had vanished, as if they had never existed!

Zhang Long parents were also somewhat restrained now.

It seemed their change in status might also be causing them to be cautious.

Zhang Long sighed softly, yet he discreetly handed a pill bottle to his mother.

"Mom and Dad, this is a Little Revitalization Pill specially refined by my senior brother."

"It’s not much use for cultivators, but it can strengthen and maintain the health of ordinary people."

"Keep it safe, don’t tell anyone, and if anyone asks, just say it’s a health supplement you bought..."

In Eastern Ancient Country, after the transcendental era began, many enterprises serving the elderly openly stated their cooperation with Taoist temples or monasteries to launch jointly developed health products.
