Fang Yang's gaze fell on the man in a white chef's uniform and a tall hat.
From his appearance, he looked like an ordinary chef.
No one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was actually the current Sect Master of the Body Sect, a Peak Douluo, and the owner of a Divine Rank mecha—Mu Ye!
Although Mu Ye's cultivation had not reached Rank 99, his strength was extraordinary, firmly reaching the power of an Ultimate Douluo.
He was absolutely one of the well-deserved super powerhouses of his generation!
"Young man, I see you have amazing bones and a handsome appearance."
Mu Ye showed a hearty smile, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Do you have any thoughts about becoming my Disciple?"
"No thoughts."
Fang Yang heard this and gently shook his head.
"This..."
Mu Ye was slightly stunned, evidently not expecting the other party to refuse so straightforwardly.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I wonder, have you heard of a Sect called the Body Sect?"
"I have," Fang Yang replied calmly.
"It's good that you've heard of it."
A hint of relief flashed in Mu Ye's eyes, "You should know that even the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao once joined it."
"That is one of the top powers in the world, the Body Sect."
"Mm-hmm," Fang Yang responded indifferently.
"That's right, I am the current Sect Master of the Body Sect," Mu Ye straightened his back, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
"Mm."
Fang Yang still nodded calmly.
Mu Ye's old face darkened, and he couldn't help but say, "Young man, don't you want to become my Disciple?"
"No," Fang Yang's answer remained concise.
"Why?"
Mu Ye pressed, his tone filled with confusion.
"I don't have that thought."
Fang Yang said indifferently, his gaze as calm as water.
A glimmer of defiance flashed in Mu Ye's eyes, and he suddenly laughed: "Come here, I must show you something."
With that, he led Fang Yang to Zhen Hua's private small dining hall.
Zhen Hua's small dining hall was not large, only about twenty square meters, with a round table and simple furnishings, looking plain and unadorned.
"You wait."
Mu Ye finished speaking and turned to get busy.
Soon, the first dish was served—Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon.
Fang Yang was not polite and proceeded to taste it.
That small piece of Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon, stewed for an unknown period, was soft, fragrant, and melted in the mouth.
Paired with Moonlight Rice, the grains were crescent-shaped, emitting a faint silver glow, with a clear aroma and a sweet taste.
The combination of these two had already surpassed the Realm of ordinary delicacies.
Mu Ye watched Fang Yang enjoy it with a smile and said, "How is it? As long as you become my Disciple, you can eat such delicious food every day."
"I'll pass," Fang Yang responded indifferently.
"You just wait!" Mu Ye seemed to have his competitive Spirit aroused and turned back to the kitchen.
After a while, Mu Ye pushed the door open, carrying a huge tray.
Even before he arrived, a rich, fresh aroma wafted over.
On the tray, which was half a meter in diameter, six giant blood-red shrimp were neatly arranged.
The shrimp bodies emitted a jade-like luster, their shells meticulously peeled, and although there wasn't much seasoning, the rich aroma was mouth-watering.
Just then, Zhen Hua walked over with Tang Wulin.
Upon entering, Zhen Hua showed a surprised expression: "What day is it today? How could you even bring out the Red Jade Shrimp? You usually don't even let me eat it!"
Mu Ye snorted, "You're always restless and don't know how to appreciate good food. This is for my Disciple-to-be, I made it for him, you're just benefiting from him."
Zhen Hua chuckled, "Then I really am benefiting from him."
Mu Ye chuckled, "You all eat together. Red Jade Shrimp, also known as Blood Shrimp, is a strange creature that lives in the Blood Sea Trench over three thousand meters deep. The Qi and blood essence it contains is very similar to ours."
Subsequently, the three sat around a table and began to enjoy this rare delicacy.
They pinched off the head and tail, then put the shrimp meat into their mouths.
The meat was sweet and tender, surprisingly feeling like eating fruit. After only a few chews, it turned into a sweet, warm liquid that slid down the throat.
"The taste is not bad," Fang Yang commented.
Of the six Red Jade Shrimp, Zhen Hua ate three, Fang Yang ate two, and Tang Wulin ate one.
Zhen Hua and Fang Yang showed no abnormalities after eating, but Tang Wulin's Qi and blood surged throughout his body.
"Oh? After eating two Red Jade Shrimp, his body can completely absorb them!"
Mu Ye's gaze had been fixed on Fang Yang, and a look of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes.
Fang Yang stood up and bowed to Mu Ye: "Thank you for the hospitality, Senior."
"No problem."
Mu Ye heard this and waved his hand.
He looked at Fang Yang with burning eyes, "Are you willing to be my Disciple?"
"I'm sorry, Senior, I already have a teacher, the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda," Fang Yang said.
"Alas, such a good talent..."
Mu Ye's eyes showed an expression of immense regret.
"Senior, this is for the meal," Fang Yang said, taking out a jade bottle.
Tang Wulin showed a hint of surprise at this.
It should be known that their storage spirit tools had been taken away by Shrek Academy, so where did Fang Yang get this from... "Forget it, why would I charge a junior for a meal?" Mu Ye said.
Fang Yang insisted, "Senior, this is my sincere gesture."
Zhen Hua persuaded from the side, "Mu Ye, it's his sincere gesture, just accept it."
"Alright."
Mu Ye heard this and finally took it.
He opened the bottle, and a clear, fragrant medicinal Qi drifted out.
"This is... a Medicinal Pill?"
Zhen Hua was somewhat surprised at this.
"No, this is a Medicinal Pill refined from Immortal Herbs," Mu Ye said with a moved expression after careful identification.
"Immortal Herbs?!"
Zhen Hua was surprised; he knew what Immortal Herbs represented.
Sea God Tang San from twenty thousand years ago, including the first generation Shrek Seven Devils, had all consumed Immortal Herbs.
Among them, Spirit Ice Douluo, God of Emotion Huo Yuhao, from ten thousand years ago, had also consumed Immortal Herbs.
Currently, on the Douluo Continent, only one power possesses Immortal Herbs, and that is the Tang Sect, created by Sea God Tang San!
The legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is one of the Tang Sect's foundations.
Fang Yang saw this and said, "Senior, I hope this Medicinal Pill, which strengthens the foundation and cultivates the original Qi, will be of some help to you."
"Hahaha... I never thought I, Mu Ye, would have this day," Mu Ye laughed loudly, but a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
As the Sect Master of the Body Sect, he bore the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Sect.
In addition, he was obsessed with the Dao of mecha, spending countless efforts to create a red-rank Divine Rank mecha.
A red-rank Divine Rank mecha must be personally forged by a Spirit Master, incorporating top-tier Materials and top-tier forging techniques.
The most important point is the deep Fusion of one's own Spirit and essence blood, reaching a life-and-death connection. Its rarity and difficulty are no less than a Four-Word Battle Armor.
This also caused his cultivation to remain stagnant at Rank 94, making it difficult to Breakthrough to the Realm of a Super Douluo.
