Chapter 1458 Song Shuhang’s full of expectations

　　This immortal dish’s name was ‘Picturesque’.

　　This was a new dish that Immortal Fairy Bie Xue had come up with in recent years, and it was at this Immortal Feast that it was first released to the public.

　　The main ingredient of this immortal dish was the Infernal Realm’s demonic pupil, a very strange and precious beast. According to various records, the demonic pupil wasn’t a native species to the Infernal Realm.

　　They abruptly appeared in the Infernal Realm, starting to live there.

　　The demonic pupils’ combat power was very low, but they could gather together and pile up on each other. When countless small demonic pupils gathered together, they could condense into a giant demonic pupil, and their combat power would then become considerable.

　　Their merging skill, coupled with their shocking reproductive ability, allowed them to survive in a world that was full of violence and death like the Infernal Realm.

　　However, although the demonic pupils’ powers were beyond imagination, and their adaptability to the environment was excellent, they were never able to gain a strong foothold in the Infernal Realm.

　　The main reason for this was that they had a hobby of delivering themselves as snacks to the original inhabitants of the Infernal Realm.

　　Every year, there would be two or so months when the demonic pupils would move together.

　　An innumerable number of demonic pupils would gather together and attack the various inhabitants of the Infernal Realm.

　　But during this period, the demonic pupils would not converge into giant demonic pupils. They would use their individual, weak combat power to launch waves of attacks on other creatures.

　　For the powerful creatures in the Infernal Realm, individual demonic pupils were not a threat. As such, the tens of thousands of pupils that came to attack would simply become the meal of those creatures.

　　It was from this that they discovered that demonic pupils tasted good.

　　And after eating a good number of them, some of the big shots in the Infernal Realm discovered that the demon pupil, this rare and precious beast, had two wondrous functions.

　　First, they had the wonderful effect of healing eye injuries—as long as one’s eyes had not exploded, they could be restored to what they once were after eating a few demonic pupils. Therefore, when creatures of the Infernal Realm sustained eye injuries from their battles, they could simply go and slay a few demonic pupils. After that, they would eat them so that their eyes could regain sight.

　　In addition to healing eyes, the demonic pupil had another wonderful effect-it could give one the inspiration for the final stroke of the Golden Core Composition. This was the conclusion that many creatures of the Infernal Realm came to after consuming great quantities of demonic pupils during the period they were active.

　　This ability was anything but simple.

　　As such, some big shots in the Infernal Realm speculated that the demonic pupils’ had come from a very powerful bloodline. However, they had no idea as to why the demonic pupils were so small and weak right now.

　　It was further speculated that this was because of the thinning of their bloodline.

　　Immortal Fairy Bie Xue had been studying the demonic pupils in recent years, and paired them with various immortal ingredients to maximize their effects.

　　This [Picturesque) was the result of thousands of experiments.

　　[Picturesque) was served on a large plate, and after taking off the cover, one would find that the content had already been divided into ten smaller portions.

　　Immortal Fairy Bie Xue said, “Serve them.”

　　The waitresses headed to the Immortal Feast venue with the plates of ‘Picturesque’.

　　In the Immortal Feast venue.

　　The guests started to wake up one by one. Aside from Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were the last ones to wake up. This was mainly because they were all close to Song Shuhang when they were watching the ‘galaxy’, and that ‘galaxy’ was there because of Song Shuhang

　　Therefore, the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had gained much more insights from it than the other guests of the Immortal Feast.

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, “Meow, meow, my eyes! I can’t see anything!”

　　Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said, “I can’t see anything either, and my eyes hurt.”

　　Loli Shi cried out in horror, “Senior Lychee, Senior Brother Song, I’m blind!”

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “So none of you can see anymore? That’s a relief. I thought that I was the only one who had become blind, so I kept pretending that I could still see, directly staring at others. Since before, I’ve been trying to sense my surroundings with my mental energy, using it as a replacement for my eyes. But it’s still quite difficult to keep my eyes open and pretend to stare at others.”

　　While he was talking, tears kept falling from his eyes.

　　Song Shuhang: “…” “My eyes hurt too, but I can still see a bit.” Soft Feather woke up, then looked at Song Shuhang. “Eh? Senior Song, when did you turn white again? I remember that you were as black as charcoal before.”

　　Song Shuhang calmly said, “It’s because I was resurrected. All of the negative status effects that were affecting me have been eliminated.”

　　Soft Feather: “???”

　　Su Clan’s Sixteen also woke up and touched her eyes. “My eyes are fine as well, and I don’t feel any pain. However, I am a little tired mentally. Shuhang, are your eyes okay?”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Mm-hm, because missed the big opportunity.”

　　At that time, he had just resurrected. When he returned to his senses, the ‘galaxy’ had already disappeared, and he had missed the opportunity to look at the materializations of the laws.

　　“The food has been served.” Senior White quickly grabbed his chopsticks. He was already hungry.

　　“Eh? Is this Senior White’s child?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s eyesight recovered just in time to see the little Senior White.

　　Soft Feather grinned and said, “Senior Thrice Reckless just asked the question that I wanted to ask.” The little Senior White sighed. “It’s me, Fellow Daoist Thrice Reckless. I’ve been hit by a time-reversal technique, and my appearance was temporarily reverted back to that of a child.”

　　“Senior White is so cute!” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber gave a thumbs up. “Can I hug you?”

　　Senior White: “…”

　　“In addition, Senior White, I have a request. Please keep this appearance for the rest of your life!” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “Because when you grow up, your charm is too terrifying. With you looking like this, no matter how much of your charm you release, everyone will only feel that you’re cute. The crime rate will definitely be much lower because of this, and that’s good for social harmony.”

　　Senior White: “…”

　　At the side, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s vision took a little longer to recover compared to Thrice Reckless. After hearing Thrice Reckless’s death-seeking words, he quickly stretched out his elbow and elbowed him.

　　The mysterious scholar shouted, “Who elbowed me? Do you think you can bully me just because I can’t see you? If I release my mental energy, I’ll be able to catch you in mere seconds!”

　　At that time, the mysterious scholar had looked at the galaxy more greedily than the others, causing him to receive more damage than the rest. Therefore, his sight had yet to recover.

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “…”

　　I elbowed the wrong person.

　　I remember that the person sitting next to me was Thrice Reckless. How did it change to the mysterious scholar?

　　It seemed Song Shuhang had forgotten where the mysterious scholar had been sitting when he arranged their table. As such, he randomly placed him beside the good old Senior Northern River.

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator coughed and reminded, “Cough, Thrice Reckless, be careful not to overdo it. Make sure to finish the food in the Immortal Feast. It would be a pity if you were to miss the great food.”

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber reacted instantly, “I apologize, Senior White. I don’t know why I am so excited today. I suddenly couldn’t control myself.”

　　Senior White: “…”

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “Senior White, to apologize… can I hug you?”

　　The little Senior White remained silent, before reaching out to grab his Meteor Umbrella.

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber immediately sat up straight, covering his mouth.

　　Fairy Lychee rubbed her eyes. “Let alone Thrice Reckless, even I want to hug the current Senior White. Senior White, can we take a picture together?”

　　Senior Yellow Mountain stopped Fairy Lychee. “After we eat, all of the members of our Nine Provinces Number One Group can take a big group photo. Let’s wait until that time.” Senior Yellow Mountain was worthy of the title of group owner. He could always be relied upon to take action at critical moments. Song Shuhang couldn’t help but remember the things that happened in the mirage world… He had succeeded Senior Yellow Mountain and became the new owner of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

　　In hindsight, he felt that that dream was absurd.

　　It was naturally impossible for him to become the group owner, but the dream of becoming a reliable senior was still achievable.

　　At this time, the waitresses came up to the tables with the immortal dish, (Picturesque).

　　As the eyesight of many guests had yet to recover, the girls serving the dishes delivered the small plates directly to each guest. A short-haired fairy maiden explained, “The name of this dish is ‘Picturesque’. It was supposed to be the seventh dish of this Immortal Feast, but Immortal Fairy ordered for this dish to be served in advance. Picturesque was made with special ingredients and has the ability to heal eye injuries. In addition, it has even more wonderful effects for the fellow daoists that are at the Fifth Stage Realm. This dish can give you inspiration for the final stroke of your Golden Core Composition. Please, enjoy.” As soon as the short-haired fairy’s voice fell, the guests quickly released their spirit sense and began to eat the dish.

　　A guest sighed, and said, “It’s a pity. If this ‘Picturesque’ could be stored for a long time, I would definitely have waited until I was at the final stroke of my Golden Core Composition before eating it.”

　　A daoist priest smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist. Since Immortal Fairy Bie Xue has released this dish, it means that the recipe is now complete. After some time, she will probably impart the recipe for this dish to her disciples. There will always be opportunities in the future. Just enjoy it.”

　　Song Shuhang looked at the immortal dish on his small plate.

　　[Picturesque) lived up to its name. The immortal dish on the small plate looked like an impeccable painting, making people reluctant to cut it open. Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “Immortal Fairy Bie Xue isn’t only an immortal chef; her artistic skills are also very famous in the world of cultivation.”

　　Song Shuhang said in admiration, “In addition to restoring one’s eyes, it also has the effect of giving inspiration for the finishing touch. Immortal Fairy Bie Xue is a cheat-like existence in the world of immortal chefs.”

　　After he willed it, the virtuous lamia and Fairy Creation appeared by his side.

　　Fairy Creation reached out and placed her hand on Song Shuhang’s eye socket, taking out the Scholarly Sage’s eye. In the meantime, the virtuous lamia placed Song Shuhang’s own eye back into his eye socket. Although the Scholarly Sage’s eye was cool, it was better to take it off to avoid getting someone pregnant by mistake. After his eye was back in its rightful place, Song Shuhang picked up ‘Picturesque’ and tasted it carefully. On his second golden core, the Golden Core Composition was short of the finishing touch.

　　Will ‘Picturesque’ be enough for him to draw that final stroke?

　　Song Shuhang was full of expectations.
