Chapter 93 Dinner's served! A pot of chicken soup creates a bunch of powerful beings?

Evening arrived, and the setting sun was as red as blood.

A large round table was set up in the small courtyard.

Demon Venerable Wanhua, wearing a gray cloth apron and carrying a huge black clay pot with both hands, walked out of the kitchen with a radiant face.

"Young Master, the stewed chicken with mushrooms is ready!"

As soon as the clay pot was placed on the table, even before the lid was lifted, a rich aroma of meat, almost thick enough to turn solid, wafted toward them.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and nodded with satisfaction. "Mm, it does smell quite fragrant. This big wild chicken must have spent plenty of time flying around the sky; its meat is firm."

He casually lifted the lid of the clay pot.

"Buzz—!"

A brilliant beam of Nine-Colored Divine Light suddenly burst from the pot, soaring straight into the clouds! Within that light, the illusory image of a Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix could even be seen spreading its wings and singing.

Lin Yuan frowned, picked up the soup ladle, and stirred the pot a couple of times at random.

"Why are these wild mushrooms still glowing? Probably because they got too much sun these past few days, leading to excess nutrients."

With one scoop of his ladle, he directly shattered the Divine Phoenix phantom that was enough to make a True Immortal kneel in worship.

Lin Yuan first served Xiao Yuer and Xiao Lian each a large, overflowing bowl filled with golden chicken soup and tenderly stewed chicken drumsticks.

"Eat more meat to grow big and strong. This chicken is large and its bones are hard, so be careful not to chip your teeth."

Xiao Yuer had long been salivating. She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of crystal-clear Divine Phoenix meat, blew on it, and took a bite.

"Boom!"

The moment the Divine Phoenix flesh entered her mouth, Xiao Yuer felt a vast, warm power surge within her. Instead of violently bursting through her Meridians, this power merged into her entire body with incredible gentleness.

Under the horrified gazes of all the powerhouses.

Behind Xiao Yuer, the phantom of an ancient Divine Phoenix burning with Nine-Colored Divine Fire faintly emerged! That divine fire followed her Meridians and flowed directly into the rusted iron shard at her waist, adding a wisp of Nirvana Fire that could incinerate the eight desolations to the originally cold God-Slaying Sword Intent!

"Wow! Revered Master, eating this chicken makes my body feel all warm, even the iron shard in my hand has become warm!" Xiao Yuer shouted excitedly, unable to help letting out a burp.

With that burp, a small cluster of nine-colored flames actually puffed out of her mouth.

Beside her, Xiao Lian also held her bowl and took a large gulp of chicken soup.

Upon her originally pure Azure Lotus Sword Qi, a trace of magnificent Nine-Colored Divine Patterns instantly entwined. The little girl squinted her eyes in comfort, her two small feet swinging back and forth in the air.

Lin Yuan also served himself a bowl, took a sip, and smacked his lips.

"The soup is quite fresh, but the meat is a bit tough. It seems this wild chicken got into a lot of fights; it's all lean muscle, quite a chore to chew."

Standing to the side, Demon Venerable Wanhua, Tantai Jinyue, and Luo Xue felt their hearts bleeding upon hearing this.

Tough?

That was the Physical Body of a Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix! It was a supreme treasure body capable of withstanding Nine Heavens Divine Lightning! If you hadn't stewed it in Yellow Springs water for a full half-hour, forget eating it—even if one hacked at it with an Immortal Artifact, they wouldn't even leave a white mark!

"Alright, you guys don't just stand there, sit down and eat," Lin Yuan waved his hand. "There's plenty in the pot, eat your fill."

The three of them felt as if they had been granted a grand amnesty, their eyes turning red with emotion.

They carefully served themselves half a bowl of soup, not daring to take even a single extra piece of meat. The Origin of a divine bird was too immense; for those at their Realm, being able to drink a mouthful of soup was already a heaven-sent fortune!

Luo Xue took a small sip of the soup.

In an instant, the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit within her seemed to receive some kind of ultimate nourishment, immediately bursting with ten thousand zhang of immortal light! Her originally cold-as-ice Overarching Sword Intent was completely integrated, reaching a mysterious Realm that even the first Master of the Immortal Court had never touched.

Demon Venerable Wanhua and Tantai Jinyue were even more shaken, their Devilish Qi refined to extreme purity by the Divine Phoenix fire.

A single dinner caused the courtyard to overflow with immortal light and soaring flames.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and rubbed his belly.

"I'm full." He glanced at the clay pot. "This big wild chicken is truly massive; even with all of us eating our fill, there's still more than half of the bones and soup left."

Wasting food isn't a good habit.

Lin Yuan turned his head toward the door.

By now, it was completely dark outside the wall, but the "clink-clank" sound of bricklaying could still be heard.

"Old Wan, those bricklayers outside are working quite hard today, still doing overtime even though it's dark."

Lin Yuan pointed at the clay pot. "Go, take the remaining half-pot of chicken soup and bones out. Let them use it to soak their coarse grain buns. Doing physical labor late at night requires some hot soup to replenish their salt."

"This old servant obeys!"

Demon Venerable Wanhua excitedly picked up the black clay pot and strode toward the courtyard gate.

"Creak—"

The courtyard gate pushed open.

A gust of evening wind blew, instantly carrying the extremely rich meat aroma from the clay pot across the entire construction site.

"Clang!"

Someone's shovel dropped to the ground.

Tens of thousands of Zixiao Holy Land Cultivators, their eyes turning green with hunger, all turned their heads in unison to stare intently at the clay pot in Demon Venerable Wanhua's hands.

Those gazes were ten thousand times more terrifying than a tundra wolf that hadn't eaten for centuries!

Demon Venerable Wanhua cleared his throat and shouted loudly, "Everyone, stop what you're doing!"

"The Young Master, mindful of your hard work building the wall today, has specially bestowed half a pot of wild chicken soup! Everyone, line up with your broken bowls. One scoop of chicken soup per person! First come, first served!"

Boom!

The entire construction site instantly boiled over!

Relying on their high cultivation and speed, Cangqiongzi and Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo turned into two blurred afterimages, being the first to rush in front of Demon Venerable Wanhua, each holding a chipped coarse porcelain bowl high with both hands.

"Lord Wan! This old man moved thirty thousand bricks today! I beg the Lord for a mouthful of soup!" Cangqiongzi's eyes welled with tears, his voice hoarse from shouting.

Demon Venerable Wanhua didn't waste words either. He took the large ladle and scooped a full ladle of golden-yellow soup into Cangqiongzi's bowl.

Cangqiongzi couldn't wait to raise the bowl. Without even testing the temperature, he swallowed the scalding chicken soup along with a small piece of mushroom in one gulp.

The next second.

Cangqiongzi's eyes widened, and his whole body froze in place.

"Rumble—!"

A power so vast and boundless it had reached the peak exploded within his Dantian!

Under the impact of this single scoop of chicken soup, the Early Stage True Immortal Bottleneck he had been stuck at was instantly torn apart like thin paper!

Middle Stage True Immortal!

Late Stage True Immortal!

Great Perfection True Immortal!

He even faintly touched the threshold of the Immortal King Realm!

"I... I've broken through just like that?!"

Cangqiongzi roared toward the sky, tears of excitement streaming down. "One scoop of wild chicken soup is worth fifty thousand years of my bitter cultivation! For the Young Master's kindness, even if I serve as an ox or a horse for lifetimes to come, I could never fully repay it!"

Beside him, Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo was even luckier. Demon Venerable Wanhua's ladle happened to bring a piece of Divine Phoenix bone, which fell into his bowl.

Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo held that crystal-clear bone radiating Nine-Colored Divine Fire and bit down.

"Crack!"

Along with the sound of the bone shattering, Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo's half-severed body, which had been unable to recover, actually began to grow flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, a flawless, explosive body of an Ancient Devil God was completely reshaped!

"I've recovered! This Ancestor has recovered!"

The entire northern outskirts of Qingyun City were suddenly lit as bright as day by the pillars of light from one Breakthrough after another.

Tens of thousands of Cultivators lined up to drink the soup, and with every sip, a beam of Breakthrough light soared into the sky.

How was this just a construction site handing out late-night snacks?

This was clearly the most incredible Ascension Ceremony in Myriad Realms!
