Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

Chapter 81: A Dish That Alarmed Half of the Sea God Pavillion



After finalizing the choice for the four-piece delivery set, Qi Han hung up a new notice board outside the restaurant, advertising the job for a delivery courier.

The working hours were similar to what he had for hiring Fu Ya. As for the compensation, Qi Han had a plan. He decided to offer a lower base salary but include a commission based on the number of deliveries made. The exact terms would be discussed with the hired courier.

Observing the time of day, Qi Han headed upstairs to get some rest. Since arriving in the Douluo Continent, he had been following a healthier sleep schedule, and he intended to continue doing so.

While Qi Han was preparing for some well-deserved rest, elsewhere, Yue Lengxin, carrying two black wooden boxes, quietly entered the Sea God’s Pavilion.

Yue Lengxin had already reached the graduation requirements for the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy with her Spirit Douluo power. Once she officially became a Titled Douluo, she could easily enter the Sea God’s Pavilion. As a prospective member of the Sea God’s Pavilion, she might not have the qualification to attend their meetings yet, but she had the freedom to come and go from the pavilion.

Yue Lengxin entered her teacher’s room, knocking on the door. She heard her teacher’s voice from inside, “Come in.”

Her teacher’s gaze briefly fell on the black wooden boxes she was carrying, but Yue Lengxin pretended not to notice the fleeting expression of joy. She spoke with a playful smile, “Teacher, I discovered a new restaurant today, and their food is even better than what you can find on Gourmet Street. So, I brought back the most expensive dish as a gift for you.”

Her teacher shook her head, reached for the black wooden box, and expressed surprise at the exquisite quality. She commented, “This wooden box is quite sophisticated; they must be willing to spend a lot on packaging.”

Yue Lengxin giggled, covering her mouth. “Teacher, this box must be returned. If it’s not returned, you won’t be able to dine at that restaurant again.”

Her teacher shook her head, commenting on the strange rule. She then casually opened the top of the wooden box.

Inside, there lay a fish with a surface displaying a pale golden hue on a lotus leaf.

However, in the next instant, her teacher’s eyes narrowed as she keenly sensed the violent fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy.

The wooden box before her seemed like a voracious abyss, devouring the spiritual energy from the surroundings. The Sea God’s Pavilion was located within the Golden Tree, and the absorbed spiritual energy naturally came from the tree. In that moment, even the Golden Tree seemed to lose some of its luster.

The absorbed spiritual energy, after passing through the Golden Tree’s purification, was no longer the faint white color but carried a golden hue. It formed a hazy mist around the area and created a gate, through which the pale golden fish transformed into a radiant golden dragon. The dragon ascended and vanished.

Yue Lengxin was taken aback, but she soon realized that the fluctuations she felt in the spiritual energy were caused by the dish, the “Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb.”

There was a knock on the door at that moment. Her teacher’s eyes squinted as she observed the misty energy slowly infusing into the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb. She casually said, “Lengxin, go answer the door.”

Yue Lengxin got up to open the door and was astonished by the sight outside. “Lord? Elders? Why are you all here?” Standing outside were seven or eight elderly individuals, with the lead figure bearing a face that resembled withered wood, lined with wrinkles like the roots of an ancient tree. However, the eyes weren’t cloudy like an ordinary old person’s; they were like a clear, starry night, exuding a profound spiritual power. Just their presence alone made it feel like they were staring into an abyss.

Sea God Pavilion’s Lord, Strong Cloud Douluo Qi Poxiao, one of the few Ninety-Nine Rank Title Douluos in the world and undoubtedly the strongest on the Douluo Continent.

Standing behind him were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

In the face of the most powerful group of people in the world, even Yue Lengxin felt a bit uneasy.

Qi Poxiao chuckled and slowly said, “Lengxin, the commotion just now even alarmed the Golden Tree. I had to come and see what happened.”

The commotion just now? Yue Lengxin quickly realized that her teacher was referring to the phenomenon caused by the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb. Her face showed a strange expression.

A dish actually stirred up most of the Sea God Pavilion? She quickly led everyone into the living room, the old woman withdrew her gaze from the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb and calmly looked at everyone. Even in the presence of Qi Poxiao, she showed little respect. “You came quickly.”

Behind Qi Poxiao, an elder approached with an uncertain look and glanced at the fish lying quietly in the wooden box in front of the old woman. “A thousand-year Dragon Scale Fish?”

Swallowing his saliva, the elder put on a more friendly smile and said, “Ruo Ruo, can you tell me where this fish came from?”

The elder called the old woman by her name.

If outsiders knew that she was still alive, they would surely be shocked, as she had been famous on the continent a hundred years ago.

Golden Phoenix Douluo, Win Ruoruo.

This elder’s name was Huan Shu, the one who loved raising Dragon Scale Fish in the Sea God Pavilion. Now, seeing the thousand-year Dragon Scale Fish that he had been diligently searching for, the shock in his heart could be imagined.

This thing had average effects, but its rarity was beyond ordinary. Now it had been made into a dish?

Huan Shu claimed he had no ill intentions; he just wanted to taste it.

Other elders were curious, looking around the living room, and eventually, their gaze settled on the fish in the wooden box.

They had been awakened by the sudden and unexpected fluctuations in the natural energy of heaven and earth and had come to investigate. Now, looking at everything in the old woman’s living room appearing normal, though somewhat unbelievable, it seemed that the source of this disturbance was the fish in the wooden box.

The rich aroma of the Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb had already filled the entire living room. The combination of fish and lamb’s rich scent was something the elders had never experienced before. The presentation of this Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb was also extraordinary, with a faint golden mist shimmering on the surface.

If Qi Han were here, he would surely be very surprised because this Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb seemed different from the one served in the small restaurant.
