Chapter 36
King Zhou's Shattered Perception

The shock brought by Nüwa, the Saint, was so great that when Wen Zhong and the other two saw the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, the ancient sages, Fu Xi, although they were surprised, they were no longer shocked to the point of losing their composure. Perhaps they had become numb.

King Zhou looked at Shi Hao with a strange expression. To be able to become Dao companions with Nüwa, the Saint, and to chat and laugh with the ancient sage Fu Xi of the Human Race, he truly was the senior disciple of the Grand Tutor.

Zhou wondered what kind of existence Shi Hao was. He felt that even the Saints of the Intercession Sect wouldn't have the ability to recruit Nüwa under their banner.

It has to be said that Shi Hao was capable of marrying the most beautiful woman in the three realms. As a man, King Zhou also admired him immensely.

What he was most grateful for was that Shi Hao was willing to treat him as an equal, his speech was natural and relaxed, he did not look down on him because of their different statuses.

Unfortunately, now that he knew the other's identity, King Zhou couldn't maintain the attitude he had towards him a few days ago. He felt a sense of awe in his heart.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down first. I'm going to prepare lunch and I don't have time to entertain you." After making a pot of Five Flavored Tea for the three, Shi Hao rushed outside to butcher the dragon.

But with their identities, how could they dare to sit at the same table as Nüwa, the Saint? So King Zhou asked Wen Zhong to cut a piece of wood several meters wide outside, and then the three of them gathered around a simple table, piecing together a makeshift table.

"Your Majesty, have some water." Su Daji, with a charming smile, poured a cup of Transcendent Tea for King Zhou.

"Hmm, I'm a little thirsty."

King Zhou smelled the faint fragrance of the Transcendent Tea, and his mind became clear. He didn't understand tea, so he drank it down like he would alcohol.

King Zhou initially thought it would be very delicious, but he first tasted a very bitter flavor. As he was about to spit it out, it magically transformed into ambrosia, the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty circulating in his mouth endlessly.

"It truly is a divine brew. Just one sip, and my mental state has risen to a higher level." The enlightenment brought by the Transcendent Tea made Wen Zhong marvel.

To be able to taste the Transcendent Tea was a great opportunity.

Although King Zhou had no cultivation, he also felt the extraordinary nature of the Transcendent Tea.

Half an hour later, spicy crayfish, a blazing hot dragon meat hotpot, and slices of carp, placed on a layer of ice, were brought out by Shi Hao one after another.

If Wen Zhong hadn't specifically brought a dragon, the amount of crayfish and carp that Shi Hao had prepared might not have been enough for seven people.

Surrounding the steaming hotpot, it might be a little scorching, but if you first take a bite of the fiery dragon meat, and then eat a mouthful of the icy and refreshing fish slices, how refreshing it would be.

"Huh, why are the three of you sitting at your own table?" Shi Hao was quite surprised to see King Zhou and the others sitting at a separate table.

"Ahem! Senior disciple, don't mind us. We're just not comfortable sitting at the same table with the two elders." Wen Zhong said in a low voice.

"Senior disciple, I... I also want to sit at the same table as my junior brother." Cai Yun also mumbled.

Sitting at the same table as the Saint was too much pressure, even Cai Yun couldn't bear it.

"Alright, then I'll split the food into two portions."

Thus, Shi Hao had to split the dishes and place a portion on their table.

Having been looking forward to this for several days, finally able to taste Shi Hao's culinary skills again, King Zhou would not be polite.

He thought that the stone-grilled meat that day was already the most delicious in the world, especially the aroma of the Kirin meat, he still remembered it vividly to this day.

But the dishes placed before him opened his eyes.

He even discovered after tasting them that they were no less delicious than the stone-grilled meat, each dish had its own unique flavor.

Especially the spicy crayfish, the meat was actually countless times more delicious than dragon meat, slightly surpassing the Grand Tutor's mount, the Kirin.

It was too delicious, each dish was almost making them swallow their tongues.

Moreover, they were completely different from anything they had eaten before, their taste buds were like they had entered a new world.

Compared to King Zhou's gluttony, Wen Zhong clearly understood the preciousness of these foods better than King Zhou. They were not only delicious, but they also had the effect of enhancing one's cultivation.

Due to the Kirin grilled meat last time, his cultivation had already broken through to the peak of the Great Perfection Stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Now, after tasting the dishes made by Shi Hao, Wen Zhong felt that his own cultivation was constantly breaking through its limits.

Its effect was even comparable to any spiritual pill or elixir. He didn't know what methods his senior disciple had used, but they were able to easily absorb the spiritual energy from the flesh and blood and transform it into their own cultivation.

Moreover, the effect was extremely exaggerated. In his opinion, it was no worse than the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir of Laozi, the Saint.

Wen Zhong's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that a simple meal would give him the possibility of breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Thinking that just a few days ago he was only at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, who would have thought that in just two or three days he was almost breaking through a major realm, all thanks to the opportunity bestowed by his senior disciple.

"Lingwa Immortal, try some crayfish." Shi Hao gave Nüwa a crayfish weighing seven or eight pounds.

Nüwa frowned. She didn't really want to eat it. Since the moment she was born, she had only eaten some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

But she was reluctant to refuse Shi Hao's enthusiasm, so Nüwa took a small bite.

The spicy flavor was quite special. Although Nüwa had felt the spiciness in the Transcendent Tea, the actual taste was different.

When she continued to eat the icy fish slices, the refreshing coolness dispelled the spiciness in her mouth. The incomparably delicious meat melted into a sweet spring.

Nüwa's eyes were faintly filled with surprise. Shi Hao's skills were merely the methods used by the Human Race for their three meals a day.

Yet, he was able to bring such a novel experience to her, a Saint, who was supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent.

But how could he bring the ordinary carp, or the dragon, to such a level? It was almost like he was approaching the Dao.

"Haha, Brother Shi, your culinary skills are indeed extraordinary. The fish slices, with their thick and delicious meat, are extremely refreshing after being chilled. They are truly worthy of the word "fresh," as if there were fish jumping around in your mouth." Fu Xi praised.

The chilled fish slices, paired with a mouthful of steaming hot dragon meat, felt like experiencing heaven and earth.

It was no less delicious than the beef hotpot before.

In the end, dozens of pounds of crayfish, including the chilled fish slices, were all finished. Only a lot of dragon meat was left over, after all, a dragon could have seventy to eighty thousand pounds of meat.

Shi Hao didn't waste it. He could store it in the ice cellar first. When Little Ling came back, it wouldn't be enough for her to eat in a few meals.

To be honest, he had been quite looking forward to tasting dragon meat for the first time.

But after Shi Hao tasted it, he felt that the so-called dragon meat was rather overrated, the meat didn't feel as good as the crayfish he had obtained from the system.

Especially after breaking through the limit of his body and growing to seven or eight pounds, they were much more delicious than the smaller crayfish before.
