Who would believe them if they told anyone about dining with a pile of Ultimate Spiritual Treasures?
Even they were unable to believe it themselves.
The crowd exchanged looks. They swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
Sizz!
Meanwhile, Xiao Bai had already brought out portions of the steak and placed it quietly in front of the crowd. The oil was still jumping and sizzling around, making the steak vibrate slightly.
“Let me tell you, steak goes well with red wine.” Li Nianfan smiled as he opened up the wooden jar by the side. “Although I don’t have red wine now, grape wine works the same. Nice!”

The jar was filled with red liquid, looking stunning like a rose. A wave of fermented grape fragrance spread in the air. It was not strong but long-lasting.
Whoosh.
Xiao Bai was acting like a waiter, pouring the grape wine for the crowd.
1
The red grape wine flowed smoothly like a fountain, causing some ripples inside the glasses. It looked beautiful and stunning.
Indeed, beautiful and stunning.
If they did not see it with their own eyes, the crowd would not have believed that these terms could be used to describe wine.
“This…this is really wine?”
Immortal Linzhu could not help licking her lips. She looked blankly at the grape wine. She had not tasted it but she already felt drunk just by looking at it.
“Indeed,” Li Nianfan nodded. He said, “We can drink the wine later. The steak won’t taste as good once it’s chilled. Right, the steak should be eaten like this. Watch me and learn.”
With that said, Li Nianfan used his left hand to hold the fork and right hand to hold the knife. With a gentle cut, the steak was sliced. He then forked the meat into his mouth.
1
“The taste isn’t bad.” Li Nianfan nodded and chewed on the food in enjoyment. He commented, “Xiao Bai, don’t be lazy next time. Remember to flip both sides of the beef so the meat can be more evenly cooked.”
Xiao Bai instantly said, “My master found out! My master’s so wise and observant with a good sense of smell. Xiao Bai’s sorry.”
“You’re naughty.” Li Nianfan smiled. He then looked at his guests and pestered, “Why aren’t you eating yet? Hurry up and taste it. This is definitely delicious.”
“Eat, we’ll eat now.”
The crowd’s hearts sank. They bit their tongues as if going on a pilgrimage. They cautiously picked up the forks and knives.
1
Eating was not a problem, but this was their first time eating with Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. How could they not get nervous? Who would believe this?
With difficulty, they held the knives and forks. Their hearts were beating rapidly.
They were finally able to touch Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. So, this was how the Ultimate Heavenly Treasure felt like. They had to feel it better.
Li Nianfan’s movements were not hard to imitate. Quickly, they all copied Li Nianfan’s movements and picked up a piece of meat to put into their mouths.
At this moment, they wanted to cry.
Simply because eating with Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasures was such a big deal!
What an honor!
“So…so delicious!”
Immortal Linzhu already snapped out from the shock. She focused on the delicious food, her eyes glowing.
The texture of the steak was top quality. It was soft and tender to bite. The meat was loose and relaxed but nice to chew on.
The muscles and fatty parts had been removed. The oil in the meat was equally spread out without any gamey taste. With every bite, juices were coming out, oozing with the purest fragrance and butter. The flavors were flirting with their taste buds without overpowering them with oil.
2
The texture was not too hard or soft, juicy but not greasy.
“So delicious!”
Immortal Linzhu could not find any other word to describe it. She always thought she had a high standard for food, and that anything other than the ambrosia from the Heavenly Temple could never be considered as delicious food.
Now, she realized how wrong she had been. So wrong!
Were those really ambrosia she ate back then? No, they were feces!
2
So, truly delicious food tasted like this. She finally had the privilege to taste them. Even if she had to give away all of her treasures, it would be extremely worthwhile, let alone the earlier two Heavenly Spiritual Treasures!
This was the attitude of a true food-lover!
Li Nianfan smiled at Immortal Linzhu. However, his smile stiffened.
He realized that this Immortal’s eating posture was somewhat strange.
Usually, one would cut the steak into smaller pieces. However, this Immortal did not cut it into small pieces. The meat she was putting into her mouth was half the size of a palm. Her cheeks were so puffed up while she chewed loudly.
Even though the steak Li Nianfan served was not small, it was likely to be finished by her in seven or eight bites.
She was indeed a true food-lover among the Immortals!
Li Nianfan hastily picked up the long-legged glass. He said, “Don’t just eat the steak, have some wine.”
In unison, everyone put down their forks and knives and picked up the wine glasses with respect. “Mr. Li, cheers to you.”
However, it was not until then when they realized that they did not know how to use this treasure. They did not even know how to hold it.
“Everyone, hold it this way. It’s fancy.” Li Nianfan demonstrated. He then said, “Before we drink, we have to gently swirl the wine in the glass. This is to wake the wine up.”
2
Ziye said, “Thank…thank you for teaching.”
Of course, the crowd did not want to disappoint the expert. They all followed his movements.
Less than a quarter of the wine glass was filled. As they swirled their glasses, a faint glow and scent vaguely wafted out under the sunlight, quiet like the water.
Gradually, they realized that somehow, the wine inside the glass had gone through some changes. The color seemed to have grown more stunning while becoming clearer.
The wine seemed to be alive, almost as if it was moving.
This was the so-called grape wine illuminating the glass.
“Okay,” Li Nianfan said while lifting the glass to his lips. He took a gentle sip, his movements gentle and elegant.
Instantly, a gust of fragrance burst in their mouths. The sour and sweet liquid rolled around the tips of their tongues, followed by a thick wine scent tickling their taste buds.
This was different from the white wine. The grape wine was sour and sweet. It calmed one down, sedating one’s troubles as the wine settled down, making one feel as calm as water.
1
One word—relaxing.
Once the gourds were ready, he would use one to keep white wine and another to keep grape wine. What a life!
1
The others naturally followed Li Nianfan’s actions. They swallowed the wine as their cheeks flushed red. The wine did not intoxicate them. They intoxicated themselves.
In the next moment, their pupils dilated as they stared at the wine glass in their hands. They looked as if they were questioning their lives.
1
Apart from the taste of this grape wine, a shocking opportunity was inbuilt in the liquid as well. It was so shocking that the entire Immortal Land would be shocked!
“This… This is…”
Immortal Linzhu was dumbfounded. All of her power was moving. She could feel it, whether it was her power, her understanding, or her realm, they were all increasing rapidly!
They were growing so rapidly…so rapid that nobody could ever dream of growing so rapidly!
The others felt the same. They were so shocked that their brains almost exploded.
They knew that the expert had plenty of treasures all over. However, even the finest things would take some time to digest after ingesting.
According to the Insights contained in this alcohol, it would take at least one and a half years for them to digest it. However, their bodies were digesting it right away without a hint of impurities. It was as if they were gaining Insights through cultivation.
It was the effect of this wine glass!
It was indeed the Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure! So powerful!
It could even have a purifying effect, allowing huge opportunities to enter the body.
So, the process of ‘waking the wine up’ was the way to use this Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!
Scary! How unbelievable!
If they shared this information, this would have shocked everyone!
For example, if an ordinary man drank this wine, he would be drunk for 1,000 years. He would become a powerful cultivator only after he woke up 1,000 years later. However, after being purified by this wine glass, it cut short the 1,000-year process right away!
Terrifying!
If this wine glass was given away, it would attract a violent fight, shaking all of the three realms. The expert had a whole box of them here.
The crowd could not help secretly glancing at the box with their eyes. Inside the box, there were rows of wine glasses placed side by side. They all shrunk their necks in unison.
Other than powerful, the crowd could not think of any other word to describe the shock in them.
With extremely perplexed feelings, the crowd finally finished this extremely luxurious feast.
They did not want the meal to end at all. After all, one glass of wine was equivalent to 100 years worth of intense cultivation. This meal was able to be instantly digested with no side effects!
However, they knew they could not get greedy. Being able to get one free meal at the expert’s was already the greatest opportunity one could ever receive.
Therefore, seeing that Li Nianfan had stopped eating, they all stopped without hesitation. They did not dare to take one extra bite.
Except for Immortal Linzhu. Seeing that Ziye had one small piece of uneaten steak, she quickly and unnoticeably reached out and swallowed it down right away. A blissful smile appeared on her face following that.
1
Seeing that the crowd had stopped eating, he smiled and asked, “Are you all full? How’s the meal?”
“So satisfied, so satisfying. To be honest with you, Mr. Li, this meal is the best meal I’ve eaten in…hmm…one, two, three, four…hundred thousand years! This is truly delicious!” Immortal Linzhu half-leaned back. She was patting her rounded tummy while she squinted in bliss.
Hundred…thousand years?
Li Nianfan’s smile instantly stiffened.
Oh, mother!
What was that? She lived for so long? Was she showing off her age?
‘Look at her, she’s lived for a hundred thousand years. I was so happy being able to live for another thousand years after drinking the blood of the phoenix. The delicious food in hand’s no longer delicious!
‘So triggering!
1
‘Wait, what an Immortal she is. She’s lived for a hundred thousand years and yet, she’s still so young and energetic.
‘Women who have lived for three thousand years would already be at the top, let alone a woman who has lived a hundred thousand years.
‘Also, if she hasn’t been in a relationship for a hundred thousand years, then…’
Gasp…
‘Even the thought of it is terrifying!
‘Thinking on a deeper level, how exciting would that be!’
