Chapter 2011: Chapter 2097: Water and Fire Power
As Chen Nan was feeling puzzled, he saw the elder in purple looking at him with a slight smile in his eyes.
Man Wuji wore a calm smile as he looked at Chen Nan. He was the Supreme King, and had he not restrained his aura earlier, all the diners here would likely have paid him great respect.
A King, that was an elite existence of the Outer Domain.
In this world where the strong are revered, a King would be valued wherever he went.
The elder’s smile was an insidious one, while Man Wuji’s smile was purely playful.
Ye Yiyi and the Black Feathered Chicken were by Chen Nan’s side. The Black Feathered Chicken had already been promoted to Holy Beast, equivalent to a Supreme Human, and had transformed into a skinny man with a hooked nose, sitting beside Chen Nan.
"Nanchen, it’s been a while, do you still remember us, your two brothers?" As soon as these two cultivators in the Supreme Realm saw Chen Nan, they cursed discontentedly.
The elder in purple chuckled, "I heard you have some connection with my two beloved disciples. Would you mind stepping out for a talk?"
The Black Feathered Chicken squinted at the old man in purple and the two Supremes, "Chen Nan, these guys seem to be the ones whose bodies were destroyed by the angry Blood Martial Hall Supremes, the fat and thin ones. I never thought I’d see them again."
"Who are you calling trash? Can you say it again? I’ll tear you to pieces."
The two Supremes, though shocked to see Chen Nan had reached the Supreme Realm, didn’t regard him highly due to their strong backer now.
"Who is trash, the Chicken Lord will say who."
"You... I’ll kill you..."
As the Supreme was about to make a move, a light cough echoed in the Heavenly Food Pavilion, it was the store manager.
The elder in purple’s face changed, "Stop, you fool, do you see where you are? They are provoking you on purpose."
The elder in purple blocked his two disciples, ready to speak, when Chen Nan raised his head and looked at them, then said with a pitiful expression, "You’ve been standing here for so long, is it because... you can’t afford to eat?"
The sarcasm in his words was overwhelming.
The elder in purple, having never faced such mockery, flushed red and slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"Just you wait..."
The elder in purple was an elder in the Hanlin Academy of the Heavenly People Clan, considering himself talented in both literature and martial arts. He intended to give Chen Nan a scare, then watch him beg for mercy before killing him, but ended up humiliated.
He had a King-grade Spirit Stone, but it was precious, meant to restore Divine Power when breaking through his Realm.
Despite being angry, he wouldn’t rashly squander it.
"Hah, can’t believe you really can’t afford to eat. Who’d have thought, in the wealthy Yellow Wind City, there’d be one so poor as to be worse than a dog." Chen Nan lightly added another jab.
"Gulp!"
From where the elder had just disappeared, there seemed to be a sound of swallowing back, and the air faintly carried a smell of blood.
After the elder left, dishes started coming in, and Chen Nan and his group were served quicker than the previous guests.
"Brother Chen, at this Heavenly Food Pavilion, dishes aren’t ordered, it’s all about fate. Seems like we’re lucky today."
Man Wuji looked at the dishes on the table, all of them were meat dishes he favored.
"Braised bear paw, undoubtedly made with the paw of the Holy Beast, Three-eyed Spiritual Bear, from the Primordial Forest north of Yellow Wind City." Man Wuji took a bite, enjoying it immensely.
Chen Nan curiously tried a bite, instantly feeling a warm current pass through the seventy-two acupuncture points he had opened, bringing immense comfort.
His cultivation advanced rapidly.
Even his Fire Element Heavenly Skill and Water Element Heavenly Skill from the Five Elements Heavenly Technique underwent subtle changes.
Ye Yiyi took a small bite and also entered a meditative state instantly.
And the Black Feathered Chicken...
Chen Nan once roasted Holy Beast meat himself with great taste, yet compared to the flavor and quality created here, it was like heaven and earth.
"Delicious!"
Chen Nan ate voraciously, beginning with small bites, then directly grabbing and eating Flying Sky Tiger tendon and Moon Howling Wolf head.
If not for these Holy Beasts being large enough, Chen Nan might have felt guilty for giving a King-grade Spirit Stone.
He ate faster than Ye Yiyi and the Black Feathered Chicken, almost matching Man Wuji.
Before he knew it, the dozen diners at nearby tables were all staring at him, dumbfounded.
The Holy Beast dishes, cooked by the head chef using both water and fire laws, were incredibly nourishing for Supreme cultivators, but only those with higher strength could absorb more.
If one’s strength was insufficient, they couldn’t absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the food, risking even a Supreme’s suffocation.
However, each dish here left them astounded, Chen Nan, despite being only Supreme Early Stage, ate at such speed... making the Mid Stage and Late Stage cultivators sweat in shame.
"This kid is definitely a freak, and that Man Clan expert isn’t simple either. Tell our clan disciples not to offend them." These Supreme experts, though lacking in other areas, had some sharp eye power.
They immediately made arrangements, as in the Heavenly Food Pavilion, eating speed correlated directly with strength, emphasizing disparity.
Sometimes, when two experts want to compare strength without causing trouble, they could go here to compete if wealthy enough.
However, individual combat strength depends on multiple factors, and eating speed here couldn’t decide everything.
After finishing the meal, as Chen Nan and his group prepared to leave, the waiter approached, respectfully bowing to Chen Nan, "This way, Daoist friend, Jiang Yan wishes to have a chat with you, do you have time?"
Man Wuji transmitted sound to Chen Nan, "Jiang Yan is the head chef here, master of both water and fire laws, which surely helps your Five Elements Heavenly Technique cultivation."
Upon hearing Man Wuji’s words, Chen Nan nodded. He had been curious about the head chef here and could hardly refuse the invitation.
"Lead the way!"
As Chen Nan spoke, the waiter led him upstairs to the top of the pavilion.
There, a Supreme expert sat silently on a stone stool by a stone table with a large black iron pot on it.
The pavilion’s rooftop appeared like a small soccer field, and the iron pot exuded a strange aura.
"Greetings, elder!" Chen Nan bowed slightly.
"No need to be formal, come sit. I noticed your Five Elements Power is strong, and your strength isn’t weak. Your Fire Power is the strongest among your Five Elements Power, yet you haven’t comprehended the Fire Law."
Jiang Yan gestured for Chen Nan to sit, then flicked his finger, sending Divine Power into Chen Nan’s body.
