Chapter 256: Chapter 114 Three Great Experts Arrive
“Destiny… it’s inconvenient to disclose for now, but I can certainly demonstrate my strength!”
Yan Sansan shook his head.
“Inconvenient?”
Zhou Cang nodded, “That’s fine.”
Culinary talent wasn’t considered a conventional cultivation method, so it was normal to feel embarrassed about it; he had felt shy and awkward himself when he first began to grasp it.
“Yes!”
Yan Sansan breathed a sigh of relief, channeling his strength to its limit, and punched out.
Boom!
The air burst into a series of explosions, shooting straight out of the hall like firecrackers.
“Truly worthy of being the top talent in Han Yuan City, to have advanced so much in just a short time!”
“With such strength, even if he isn’t as good as Mo Hong, he shouldn’t lose so quickly, right?”
Everyone was utterly astonished.
This guy had just broken into the Galaxy Realm during his contest with Mo Hong, and in less than a quarter of an hour, not only had his strength stabilized, but it had also increased slightly; his talent was simply unbeatable!
Even Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan couldn’t help but nod, feeling a sense of pity for such a talent.
If this strong individual wasn’t taken as a disciple, they were willing to accept him.
“Not bad…”
Zhou Cang nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and gently tapped, causing a swirling circle of light to appear in front of everyone.
“Place your hand deep into it, channel your own ‘fragments of the heavens’, and if your destiny matches mine, the circle will merge into your body, helping you advance your cultivation… This is a teacher’s gift to you! Of course, if it doesn’t match, the circle will remain unchanged, and I won’t even know what your destiny is.”
“Thank you, senior, for your consideration…”
Relieved that his destiny could be tested without others knowing, Yan Sansan stepped forward.
He stretched out his hand, about to delve in when the grand clock above sounded again, crazily ringing.
Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong!
Five times again, three long and two short!
“What’s going on?” Qian Yuhuan’s scalp tingled, his face pale as he hurriedly looked outside, only to see an elderly man striding in.
This person, similar in age to Zhou Cang, dressed in green garments, with a stern look between his brows, exerted a profound soul-oppressing aura even before he had fully approached.
It was none other than the Hall Master of the Soul Division, Feng Yuanping, who had followed after sensing someone grasping the destiny of the soul.
“Old Feng, what brings you here?”
Seeing him appear, Zhou Cang was equally surprised.
He had rushed here because someone had comprehended the Culinary Dao Destiny, but what was his reason?
This kind of long-distance sensing of destiny only worked for those cultivating the same type of destiny; others wouldn’t know what it specifically was even if they saw the glow.
“What you came here for is what I intend to do!”
Feng Yuanping laughed aloud, swiftly approaching.
From seeing the elder to his arrival, it took less than three breaths total. His speed was alarming, and oddly, his legs and feet seemed as if they hadn’t moved at all.
For someone else, this would probably feel very stiff or awkward, but somehow, it felt perfectly natural to everyone, as though anything he did was smooth and fluid.
“Is this… the unnatural thought distortion of a strong soul?”
Shi Yunjing was the first to come to his senses, feeling a chill.
Zhou Cang was already shocking enough, but this person seemed even more formidable!
Without saying much or using any power, everyone’s thoughts and intentions were forcibly twisted…
It was foreseeable that if this person wanted to act, he might not even need to use his strength, a mere thought could cause everyone present to lose their memories and turn into idiots.
Terrifying!
He turned to look at Qian Yuhuan only to see him too with a pale face, unable to speak.
“Do you also intend to take a disciple?”
Zhou Cang caught on, eyes wide.
“Is that not allowed? You’re allowed to find a successor, but I’m not?”
Feng Yuanping laughed.
“Of course, it is!”
Zhou Cang nodded with a light smile, turning to Yan Sansan, “However, this talented young man will surely be my disciple…”
If the other party had a ‘soul’ destiny, they would have mentioned it; their silence was almost certainly indicative of his own culinary destiny.
“That remains to be seen…”
Feng Yuanping spoke, and just as the words left his mouth, the bell above the Wanxiang Sect rang again, and a black-clothed elder walked in.
Seeing another Pseudo Immortal appear, Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan both swallowed hard, rendered speechless.
What was happening today?
It was like the Heaven Mandate Hall had exploded, then the masters came one after another like there was no cost…
“Old Miao, why…?” Seeing it was him, Feng Yuanping was also surprised.
“Ha ha ha, same as you, I took one look and felt a connection, thinking he should be my disciple!”
The door leader of the Nine Poison Sect, Miao Hengsheng, cheerfully pointed at Yan Sansan.
“Your disciple? Wishful thinking…”
Zhou Cang hadn’t expected these two, who were prepared to eat his Seven-Section Worm, to also compete for the disciple, his face showing displeasure.
“I believe in my instincts; how about we make a bet?”
Miao Hengsheng spread his hands.
“A bet? How do we bet?”
Zhou Cang frowned.
“It’s simple, let’s both have him test, and if he is my disciple, you cook ten meals for me! If he’s your disciple, I’ll help you catch another Seven-Section Worm.”
Miao Hengsheng smiled.
“Hold on, I’m also in on this bet,” Feng Yuanping stepped forward.
“If he’s your disciple, I’ll give him a clear Antidote Pill to make him immune to all poisons! That should suffice as a greeting gift!” Miao Hengsheng said.
“Enough, enough!”
Feng Yuanping nodded, “In that case, regardless of whose disciple he becomes, I’ll give a golden soul bead.”
“Deal!” Zhou Cang nodded.
Hearing the three men’s conversation, both Shi Yunjing and Qian Yuhuan felt their throats dry up, unable to speak.
The first elder’s ten meals, they didn’t know how precious it was, but the rarity of the Antidote Pill and golden soul bead was very clear to them.
Each one was priceless and even unavailable for purchase, yet these three casually staked them on a bet…
What kind of status did they have?
“Yan Sansan is set to soar!”
“We must get on good terms with the Yan Family in the future…”
The same thought emerged in both their minds.
These individuals were so powerful that regardless of who took Yan Sansan as a disciple, his rise was inevitable; their job was to foster relationships ahead of time.
“I, I…”
Realizing this, Yan Sansan, the person in question, also understood, clenching his fists excitedly, his face flushing with thrill.
He was finally about to rise!
Zhang Xuan had stolen all the glory earlier, but this time… He was determined to doubly snatch it back!
