Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 281: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s Kitchen
Chapter 281: The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s Kitchen
Lu Yang couldn’t help but recall the immortal treasures the Everlasting Creed possessed.
Yellow Millet Dream Pillow.
Toothpicks.
Poisoned chopsticks.
Aged vinegar.
Bed sheets.
Plates.
It does seem like someone had stumbled into a kitchen and randomly taken a few items. That said, to be worthy of being called immortal treasures, their power must be formidable, but as for their origins...it’s complicated.
“As a chef, what I dislike the most is people entering the kitchen and disturbing me while I’m cooking. You understand that feeling, right?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy asked Lu Yang. As a barbecue master himself, he’s somewhat in the same profession as I am, so he should share the same sentiment.
Lu Yang actually wanted to say, “I’m just a roadside barbeque vendor—what kitchen do I have?” However, considering the unpredictable consequences of not going along with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, he could only go against his will and nod.
“Yes.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was elated that someone could empathize with her. She then sighed. “I never thought that someone would still manage to break in with the door closed. That shouldn’t have happened.”
“Immortal Fairy, aside from you, who can open this door?” Lu Yang suspected that it was the mastermind behind the scenes who had secretly opened the door, allowing the first Everlasting creed leader to take a few treasures and establish them as the creed’s prized enshrined relics.
“The four other immortals could. I was worried they might get impatient waiting for my cooking, so I told them the method to open the door. However, they were too polite. Not one of them came in.”
Yun Zhi shook her head subtly. It’s not difficult to break the seal set by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Given enough time, any immortal can figure out how to open it.
How strong can a kitchen’s seal be?
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t do anything special. She simply stood in front of the door, and the mysterious symbols dispersed on their own. The door swung open, revealing the true immortal’s ruins—the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s kitchen.
This was likely the first immortal ruins ever unearthed, marking a momentous event in history.
As expected of the only immortal chef, the Immortal Fairy’s kitchen is speckless and bright, likely due to a dust-removal array.
After entering the kitchen, the door closed, cutting off the external light source. In its place, the Everlasting light illuminated the kitchen.
“It’s so quiet, as though it is completely isolated from the outside world.”
“Hehe, that’s all thanks to the soundproofing array I set up. When I prepare the ingredients, they often scream and make a fuss, disturbing the guests. As such, I set up soundproofing and spiritual consciousness-blocking arrays to prevent anyone outside from probing what’s happening inside.”
Lu Yang had an odd expression. Why does this sound more like a chamber for silencing people?

“Don’t touch anything in the kitchen. It’s too dangerous for you,” Yun Zhi warned, afraid that Lu Yang’s curiosity could get the better of him.
Lu Yang hurriedly retracted his hand.
All of these were items used by an immortal. Even the residual waves of energy from a single object could reduce Lu Yang to bones and dust.
With Yun Zhi around, he could naturally be saved, but it was still not an experience worth having.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy waved it off with conviction. “Aiya, it’s fine. With me protecting Lu Yang, what could possibly go wrong?”
Hearing that, Lu Yang’s restless heart settled down.
“By the way, Immortal Fairy, why did you have the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow and bed sheets in your kitchen?” Lu Yang recalled the two major immortal treasures in the Everlasting Creed, which had no business being in a kitchen.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy replied matter-of-factly, “Isn’t that perfectly normal? I like cooking, and I also like sleeping. When I wake up, I’d study how to cook, and when I get tired, I’d lie down to sleep. In this positive cycle, both my cooking and sleeping skills can soar by leaps and bounds.” As she spoke, she gestured with a soaring motion.
“The Nine-Layers Immortal advised me not to stay in the kitchen and work so hard every day. He said there was no end to improving my culinary skills, so he encouraged me to go out for a spin.
“Although outsiders might think it was very tiring for me, I actually found it very relaxing.”
“...Is it possible that the Nine-Layers Immortal wasn’t worried about you tiring yourself out but simply didn’t want you to pursue the culinary arts?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was bewildered. “Why? Whenever I invented new dishes, I’d make sure they were the first to try them.”
Yun Zhi noticed a pile of bottles and jars in the corner of the kitchen. She randomly opened one of the lids, and a pungent smell assaulted her nostrils, startling her so much that she almost thought she was under attack and instinctively struck out with her palm.
“Senior, what is this?” Yun Zhi pointed to the red liquid in the jade bottle.
“Chili oil. You haven’t seen it before? I remember the Dao-Seeking Sect has hotpot though.”
Yun Zhi fell silent. Of course, I know what chili oil is. But chili oil that can stimulate me into almost attacking is a first.
I’ve broadened my horizons.
Lu Yang was even more shocked. What kind of chili oil can last for three hundred thousand years?
“This is chili oil I refined from using countless rare treasures and extracting the essence of the sun, moon, and stars!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy tapped the bottle. “Look at this bottle. I had to seek out many artifact-refining masters to craft a magical treasure capable of storing this chili oil.
“Now, back to this chili oil. Don’t let its ordinary appearance fool you. Just a few drops can elevate a dish to a whole new level. Moreover, this chili oil has the ability to detect lies. I didn’t realize it had this function when I was refining it. I suppose it was a function that emerged by chance.”
“How so?”
“The Qilin Immortal loved spicy food, so I invited him to my home and specially added a few drops of this chili oil to his meal. I didn’t add any to the other three immortals’ dishes.
“After a few bites, the Qilin Immortal kept waving his hand, saying he actually didn’t like spicy food, and he asked me to make another plate.
“Let me tell you, my culinary skills are highly reputable. Even before I became an immortal, it was also very popular. For instance, the Nine-Layers Immortal had repeatedly requested that I cook for him.”
Lu Yang was floored. As expected of the first immortal, the Nine-Layers Immortal’s courage alone surpassed that of the other immortals.
“Something like that happened?”
“You bet. That was the first time I cooked for the Nine-Layers Immortal. After tasting it, his expression changed drastically. He was utterly amazed and thought I had great potential.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was full of vigor and enthusiasm as she spoke. Originally, she hadn’t been very confident in her culinary skills, but this incident gave her an immense confidence boost, propelling her further down the path of an immortal chef. She reached unprecedented heights, earning the reverence of spirit chefs throughout history.
It’s a pity I died early; otherwise, I would have become the founding ancestor of spirit chefs and enjoyed being the object of worship.
When gathering with other immortals, I often brought up this story, specifically thanking the Nine-Layers Immortal for his support. When the other immortals learned of this, they would smile kindly at the Nine-Layers Immortal.
Lu Yang’s expression turned peculiar. “Did the Nine-Layers Immortal really say that?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy placed her hands on her hips and pouted. Her delicate eyebrows were knitted slightly, a sign of her dissatisfaction with Lu Yang’s skepticism. “When have I ever lied to you?
“A few days later, he came to me and asked me to cook for him again, wanting to take the meal with him. When I asked him why, he dodged the question and said something like, ‘The prisoner is tight-lipped. We’ve tried every kind of torture, but he just won’t confess. Looks like we’ll need some unconventional tactics.’”
