Chapter 141: Chapter 139 Cultivation Enlightenment (First Update)_1

On the early morning of the second day, Matthew had prepared several carts full of ingredients and personally delivered them to Mr. Bertram.

"Commander Bertram, one cannot express enough gratitude." Matthew spoke ambiguously, but he knew that the commander would understand. Lord Algernon had said not to clarify things with the commander.

"This time, I have thoroughly scoured Jaafar County for the finest ingredients. Miss will definitely be pleased." Then he took out a wooden box from the Storage Brocade Pouch, "The finest South African coffee from our Wood Dynasty, the most fitting for your hermit-like temperament."

Those who have secluded themselves from the world must have a penchant for wine and tea.

Owen Bertram looked at the box of tea leaves, calculating how much they cost. Why not just give me the money equivalent? Compared to fine tea and Spirit Jade, I would definitely choose Spirit Jade.

However, Owen Bertram wasn’t pretentious and waved his hand saying, "Just put it over there."

"Yes." Matthew respectfully placed it on a side cabinet, then said: "I will not disturb you anymore..."

Owen Bertram said, "It isn’t easy to come here, so stay for a meal before leaving."

Matthew was more than willing but feigned reluctance, "Is that... appropriate?"

"Nothing is inappropriate. They are just homemade meals cooked by my sister."

Ava Bertram didn’t allow anyone to touch her ingredients, insisting that her and her elder brother’s meals should be cooked by herself. Honestly, Owen Bertram was a bit worried about this. The only thing that offered some reassurance was that the Fern had been firmly enclosed by his Array, otherwise, Verna might think it smelled too good and put it in the pot to boil and share it with her elder brother and herself.

The chef Matthew previously hired, named Bennett Basil, had been infatuated of late. Every time Verna cooked, he would be present, kneeling nearby, attentively observing every detail.

Every stroke of Verna’s knife made Chef Bennett shake his head. Various ingredients were chopped unevenly, in a chaotic manner.

When Verna started the fire, Chef Bennett still shook his head, as she had no idea how to control the temperature.

After Verna covered the pot, she squatted by the stove, drooling while eyeing the big pot.

This scene didn’t give Matthew high expectations for the meal. After all, when it comes to eating, the most important thing isn’t what you eat, but who you eat with.

However, the moment Ava Bertram lifted the pot lid, Chef Bennett lunged over like a runaway dog, his rice bowl in his mouth.

Ah, wrong. It was in his hand.

What greeted him was a wooden spoon in the hand of Ava Bertram. Verna didn’t show any politeness, duang, and hit him in the forehead with it.

"No manners!" Ava Bertram, playing the disciplined one, scolded with wide eyes.

"Oh, I was wrong, but you can’t blame me. I can’t resist it every time." Bennett Basil was righteous and bold, I was wrong, but I won’t change, I’ll make the same mistake next time!

Matthew was puzzled: what’s the situation?

However, when Ava Bertram lifted the pot cover, he also smelled the tempting aroma and his appetite was immediately aroused!

Ava Bertram called out crisply, "Brother, it’s time to eat——"

"Coming." Owen Bertram entered with hands behind his back, his sister served him a large bowl. Matthew glanced over, half of the meat dish in the pot had ended up in the master’s bowl.

Then Verna helped herself, and the other half of the meat dish was also gone.

Owen Bertram called out to Matthew, "There’s only me and my sister in the house, we don’t have many rules. You serve yourself."

"Yes, yes." Matthew quickly agreed, just as he held the bowl, he saw that Bennett Basil had already rushed to the big pot, taking most of the remaining portion in one breath. Only when he finally saw Matthew did he leave him about a spoonful, a distressed look on his face.

Matthew was torn between laughter and tears, you are the most famous chef in Jaafar County, haven’t you eaten before?!

Bennett Basil held the bowl, there wasn’t a place for him to sit in the room, but he didn’t mind, he squatted by the stove and started eating with gusto. With every mouthful, he would close his eyes to savor the taste, then mumble something under his breath.

"So that’s it!""So these ingredients can be combined like this!"

"It seems crude and shabby, but it’s full of profound meaning."

"I’ve got it, I’ve got it..."

Matthew watched that fellow in a trance, somewhat apprehensive. Did he unintentionally hire a mad cook?

All of a sudden, surges of waves emanated from Bennett Basil, slowly gathering the world’s elemental energy around him, forming an invisible vortex around his figure.

Then, Bennett Basil abruptly opened his eyes, a stream of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from within him!

Matthew gaped, stunned. Is this.... enlightenment through culinary arts? He is already at the "Spirit Body" level of the First Great Realm. Gaining a sense of enlightenment and gathering spiritual energy mean he has officially started his cultivation journey!

However, this fellow is the one he had employed, Matthew is quite clear that the fat cook is just an ordinary mortal!

Moreover, he is the kind of ordinary man who at first glance, clearly lacks the talent for cultivation. The fact that he achieved enlightenment after spending just a few weeks eating meals prepared by Ava Bertram’s younger sister?

Such events were not uncommon in the history of the Eight Desolates. Most people who experienced it were those without cultivation talent but possessed extraordinary talent in other areas, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and so on. From these fields, they gained a sense of understanding, eventually setting foot on the Great Path of cultivation.

But these "divergent types" often have smooth-sailing journeys in their cultivation path, with promising futures.

Each one of them would become a widely celebrated "legend" in the Eight Desolates!

Matthew gave Bennett Basil another look, finding it hard to associate this fellow with those historical legends. A greasy cook didn’t seem to fit the bill.

The only explanation was Miss Bertram.

Matthew gave Ava Bertram a deep look, really... what a case of intelligence playing the fool!

Those Bertram siblings are truly unfathomable.

I must report this discovery to Lord Algernon, warning him not to overlook the young lady while focusing on Mr. Bertram.

At the same time, his hands clung tightly to his bowl which still held a spoonful and a half. At this point, anyone who dared to snatch it would have to fight him to the death!

He cautiously took a bite. It was truly delicious. Why is a simple mixed stew so tasty?

Ava Bertram swallowed more than half of her bowl, her eyes started to spy on her elder brother’s: "Brother, are you going to eat this piece of meat skin? If you don’t eat it, I will."

"Do you want this fatty piece...then I’ll take it."

This always happened. Ava Bertram is generous to her brother, always willing to serve him a large bowl, but in the end, she craves more and always finds a way to retrieve from her brother’s bowl.....

Owen Bertram looked at his sister in an indulgent way, pouring most of his remaining bowl into hers: "Brother is full, the rest is for you, you can’t waste it, you must finish it."

"Sure~" Ava Bertram grinned happily.

Owen Bertram turned his head, saw Bennett Basil, and said, "Huh, how come you have spiritual energy now?"

Matthew: "..."

"If that’s the case..." Owen Bertram thought for a moment, and decided to deal with some things: Ava Bertram commencing her cultivation. He called out: "Go and fetch Ethereal Devin."

Minister at the door salutes and leaves, Ethereal Devin arrives shortly after, first saluting Matthew, then asking "Commander, you called for me?"

Owen Bertram pointed to Ava Bertram and Bennett Basil: "From now on, you will be responsible for teaching them about cultivation." Then he specifically emphasized: "This does not count as apprenticeship, I cannot give you that privilege."

Ethereal Devin wasn’t pleased: "My Devin Clan’s exclusive teaching materials are no small matter....."

"I will do it, I will!" Matthew shouted from the side, rushed over and gave a bow, sending Ethereal Devin flying out.
