Suiren?

Bu Fang froze for a moment when the old man said the name. It was strange to him, but somehow familiar at the same time.

The old man roughly inserted a wooden stick into the Soul Demon leg and simply put it over the fire to cook, without adding any seasoning or ingredients.

Tongtian looked at the old man with respect, even admiration. His eyes sparkled with reverence. The old man in front of him was the existence who brought hope to mankind and ended the uncivilized period of the human race. He was the spiritual leader and supreme being of mankind.

Bu Fang fell into silence. He finally remembered who this old man was. The seemingly inconspicuous old man was a famous human emperor! He stopped talking and sat quietly in front of the fire.

It was Suiren who ended mankind’s life of eating raw food and allowed human beings to start eating cooked food. This was a milestone leap for mankind.

As he felt the heat being released from the fire, Bu Fang’s heart beat a little faster. ‘Could this be the Fire of Mankind controlled by Suiren? If so, then it’s very extraordinary! No wonder my divine fire showed subservience when facing this fire…’

Bu Fang’s face grew serious. Based on what the old man had said, he seemed to have been waiting for him. He wondered if this old man was the mysterious existence who sent down lightning punishment whenever he cooked and constantly suppressed his strength?

The Sect Leader sat quietly to the side. Suiren was a human emperor. He had great merits and virtues, and his status in people’s minds was extremely lofty. Perhaps he did not reach the height of a Chaotic Saint in terms of cultivation, but his strength was definitely stronger. This kind of existence was very rare in the world, so Tongtian showed great respect.

Looking at the leg Suiren was cooking, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. He naturally knew it was a Soul Demon leg. Before this, he had fought Soul Demons in the Chaotic Universe, and one of them, Soul Thirteen, had even become a Soul Overlord and almost destroyed the entire Universe.

If he and Lord Dog, who had transformed into a Time Heavengod, had not combined their efforts to kill Soul Thirteen, the Chaotic Universe would have been destroyed now.

However, Soul Demon meat… could not be used as a food ingredient. It was not edible. As an existence that was to become a God of Cooking standing at the top of the food chain in the fantasy world, Bu Fang could easily distinguish the quality of an ingredient. For a dish, the quality of the ingredients was crucial.

“Senior…” Bu Fang said hesitantly.

“Just say what you want to say, lad.” Suiren glanced at Bu Fang and smiled faintly. It was as if he saw right through what was on Bu Fang’s mind.

“I know this… Soul Demon. It’s an evil creature from another universe. Its meat has been infected by evil forces and is inedible,” Bu Fang said. He felt it necessary to tell Suiren about it. Otherwise, Suiren would be very embarrassed when he found that the meat he had cooked for a long time was inedible.

Tongtian’s pupils constricted. ‘An evil creature from another universe? Why does the human emperor have the leg of an evil creature?’

“You know this creature…” Suiren sighed. He glanced at Bu Fang, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. “You are right. This Soul Demon is indeed an evil creature, and its meat is hard to eat. But… There are no ingredients in the world that can’t be cooked into food, only chefs who can’t turn ingredients into food,” he said.

Suddenly, he turned over his palm, and a vast amount of divine power gushed out of him. The fire in front of them instantly changed from the original color of ordinary fire to crimson, emitting an even hotter heat. Under the scorching flame, the Soul Demon leg changed color in an instant.

Suiren sat on a stone with a faint smile on his face. Although he looked old, his aura was incomparably magnificent.

The Sect Leader and Bu Fang sucked in their breaths at the same time as they felt a terrifying pressure weigh down on them.

Bu Fang’s expression was somewhat dazed. Suiren’s words exploded in his ears, leaving him in confusion.

‘There are no ingredients in the world that can’t be cooked into food, only chefs who can’t turn ingredients into food… But, isn’t it always a law that ingredients determine the quality of the dish?’ Bu Fang did not understand.

‘Unless the ingredients that are hard to swallow are changed in their origin, they will still be hard to swallow, no matter what cooking method is used…’

Grease spit from the meat, dripped into the fire, and was instantly conquered, rising and twisting slowly in black streams like some evil creature.

Tongtian put his hands on his knees. He did not understand what they were saying, so he did not cut in. However, he thought Suiren had a point even though he was not a chef.

He was, of course, still on his guard. After all, the mysterious being who manipulated Earth’s spiritual energy and spied on everything could very well be the old man in front of him. Suiren had a very special status in mankind. Therefore, he was on guard while also maintaining the proper respect.

The Soul Demon meat was dark purple, and as it continued to be grilled, the color became more and more translucent, making it seem as if the meat had turned into a gorgeous gem.

Bu Fang sat cross-legged, not moving a muscle. Sensing the flowing of energy in the meat, he looked as if he had a sudden and striking realization. In his eyes, Suiren’s unhurried grilling seemed to be the strictest cooking, a simple and powerful technique.

His pupils sparkled as he kept learning the technique. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the only sounds were the crackling of firewood, the sound of grease spitting out from the meat, and the heavy breathing.
