Chapter 2795: Chapter 2815: The Cooking Senior Brother

Senior brother?

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of Li Ping’an; back at Nanyue Hengshan, when the Sect Master was not managing affairs, it was Li Ping’an who upheld the sect’s honor.

"Where did the senior go? Can you contact him?"

Gong Jianying smiled and said, "He is exploring the New World, but don’t worry. He left a magical treasure in the sect. Through this treasure, we can send messages to him. We can let him know you’ve visited, but whether he wishes to come back, we can’t be sure."

Lin Chen expressed his thanks, "Thank you for the trouble."

Gong Jianying smiled, "Don’t mention it, Master holds you in high regard. He even told us that someone like you, who was born in a small place without any backing, and grew to become a Daluo Immortal in less than a hundred years, is an exceptionally talented individual."

Lin Chen felt reassured, it seemed that True Person Tai Xu truly appreciated him. Of course, this might be due to the former owner of the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, an old acquaintance.

"Please wait a moment, I will go find Senior brother to pass on a message to Master."

Gong Jianying said, then added, "The communication magical treasure is managed by Senior brother."

Lin Chen stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, fairy!"

Gong Jianying was gone for about half an hour. When she returned, she was not alone but accompanied by a middle-aged man who appeared as refined as a scholar, with a warm and upright gaze, giving off a gentle and jade-like demeanor.

"Friend Lin, we have sent a message to Master. Master replied that he is in a critical moment and can’t leave. He asked Senior brother to receive you on his behalf. If you have any issues, you can tell Senior brother."

Gong Jianying pointed to the middle-aged man beside her: "This is Senior Brother Wen Mengsheng of Mount Taixu."

Wen Mengsheng?

What a cultured name!

This name suits its owner so well!

Lin Chen bowed in greeting: "I have seen Senior Brother Wen!"

He referred to True Person Tai Xu as a senior, and himself being a Supreme Immortal, calling Wen Mengsheng ’Senior Brother’ was quite appropriate.

Wen Mengsheng smiled warmly, "Junior Brother Lin, hello, welcome to Mount Taixu. If you are not in a hurry this trip, you might as well stay first. Since you have traveled a long way and are weary, rest first, we can discuss official matters later."

When the guest follows the host’s arrangement, Lin Chen really was not in a hurry and agreed, "Then I’ll take the liberty of staying!"

Wen Mengsheng personally arranged a vacant pavilion as a residence for Lin Chen, allowing him to rest a bit. In the evening, he invited Lin Chen to have dinner together.

True Person Tai Xu has twelve disciples, currently, only four are at home: Senior Brother Wen Mengsheng, Fifth Senior Sister Yu Yuelan, Seventh Senior brother Liang Zhifeng, and Junior Sister Gong Jianying.

The four of them plus Lin Chen, five people sitting at one table, served quite lavish dishes, all consisting of various exceptional ingredients.

Gong Jianying’s eyes gleamed, "Lin Chen, today we are indeed fortunate thanks to you. Senior Brother personally cooked using top-grade ingredients, we’re in for a treat!"

Lin Chen, surprised, looked towards Wen Mengsheng, "Does Senior Brother Wen also love cooking?"

Wen Mengsheng laughed, "I wouldn’t say I love cooking, but when following Master around in the past, whenever we came upon good ingredients, it would be a waste not to use them, so I learned to cook. The more I cooked, the better I got. Hearing Junior Brother Lin’s tone, it seems you are also skilled in this art?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I often traveled alone in the past, and when I was still a mortal, I had to eat and drink, so I cooked for myself. Over time, I also became able to make some simple dishes. After entering the cultivation world, I kept this habit and would collect and preserve good ingredients. Either when I’m alone or when gathering with a few friends, I’d prepare some tasty dishes, but my skills surely can’t compare to Senior Brother Wen’s."

Wen Mengsheng smiled, "Culinary arts are all about the heart; who can say who is better by how much? Let’s talk about the art of food when we have time."

Lin Chen kept a humble posture, "Good, I look forward to learning from Senior Brother Wen."

Wen Mengsheng spoke modestly, showing no hint of superiority, lightly laughing, "Let’s exchange knowledge."

At the table with various dishes, Lin Chen could only recognize two, sighing, "The world is vast with many wonders; there are so many ingredients, yet I only recognize two. The places I’ve been to and the things of the Immortal Realm I’ve seen are still far too few."

Fifth Senior Sister Yu Yuelan lightly laughed, "Master is always traveling around, who knows how many new worlds he has been to, so many unusual and unseen fine ingredients. He doesn’t like to cook, but whenever he comes across good ingredients, he collects them and brings them back for Senior Brother. So, it’s hard to say if Mount Taixu lacks other things, but it surely has a wide and top-grade variety of ingredients."

Looking at the four people in front of him, Lin Chen felt rather emotional.

True Person Tai Xu and his twelve disciples must be just like a family, judging from the size of this table, they likely all dine together usually.

Such scenes are rare in the Immortal Realm, yet they highlight the distinctiveness of Mount Taixu.

Truly, they are enlightened experts!
