4.A Banquet in Chaos with Everyone Acting Wildly

Guo Yang completely ignored his disciple and indulged in his own intoxication: "Ah~ My blood. I feel like I can hear the sound of my blood surging in my body. This unique taste that is both elegant and sweet is truly a top-notch delicacy. This is the chicken that can bring 100% happiness to people..."

It was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at Guo Yang expressionlessly as he kept chattering on and on. Their fists under the table were clenched tightly, making cracking sounds.

Guo Yang didn't stop. He kept talking while eating. It was only after twenty seconds that he regained his senses. After coming to his senses, Guo Yang let out a long breath. He looked at the empty plate in front of him with a refreshed look and exclaimed loudly.

"Great! The taste of this dish is so wonderful that I haven't had such an experience for a long time. Hehe, I'm really sorry for eating so much without realizing it."

Seeing that he seemed to be back to normal, everyone in the hall, who had been tensed up all the time, finally relaxed simultaneously and collectively let out a sigh of relief.

Damn it, this guy is really shameless. When he was acting lewd like that, everyone in the room almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into! And now he still dares to pretend that nothing happened!

Ye Qingbi's mouth twitched twice. Her whole pretty face had become extremely stiff, and her pink fists were clenched so tightly under the table that there was no trace of blood left.

What was Guo Yang's intention? They had been chatting nicely just now. Now, in front of her, he had embarrassed her like this! Making her lose face! Was he deliberately causing trouble?

Ye Qingbi forced a smile: "I'm glad you like it, Sect Master Guo. Do you really think it's that delicious?"

Guo Yang nodded deeply twice: "It's a taste I've never had in my life. Even if someone offered me a Mysterious Rank elixir in exchange for it, I'd be willing to give it up."

The wonderful feeling he had just experienced was still deeply engraved in his mind, truly astonishing him. As soon as the dish entered his mouth, an unprecedentedly wonderful taste experience enveloped him and then spread throughout his body. Then, he felt as if there was a group of people beating gongs and drums in his mind. He was completely immersed in a sea of joy, and the gloomy feeling in his heart was completely swept away! This effect was even something that elixirs couldn't achieve.

As a cultivator, maintaining the smoothness of one's state of mind was just as important as the growth of one's cultivation level. In some cases, the cultivation of one's state of mind was even more important than the cultivation level.

Ye Qingbi smiled and raised her hand again: "Then everyone, please start eating."

...

At the back of the main hall of the Xinglan Sect.

Xu Shan was slumped on the ground, his face ashen and covered in cold sweat. In front of him was Lu Xiangjun, who was shirtless, and his upper clothes had somehow been blown to pieces all over the ground. At this moment, he was holding a bowl of noodles and moaning lewdly...

"This rich flavor is really incredible. Paired with the extremely chewy noodles, it makes people want to take one bite after another..."

Xu Shan's head spun, and he involuntarily crawled backward with his hands and feet. Damn it, what was wrong with him? Was he possessed? Why was he acting so lewd? Was it because of the food he had cooked?

Xu Shan quickly turned his head to look at the stove and his eyes locked onto a mushroom that had fallen to the ground.

Mushroom? Poisonous mushroom! Many of the ingredients here were not ordinary items. He didn't recognize them. Could it be that he had used the wrong thing?

No, if there was something wrong with the dish, why was his clothes blown up too? Could it be that the toxicity was so strong that it caused the spiritual energy to go out of control?

Xu Shan kept swallowing his saliva. Suddenly, his eyes swept over the main hall, and his mind went blank with a loud buzz!

It's over... The high-ranking people have all eaten it...

Xu Shan's heart was pounding wildly, and his mind was racing. No, he had to run away quickly! He originally had no hope of being promoted to the inner sect, and now that such a thing had happened, it wouldn't be strange if he was killed. He had to run. Although it was easy for others to find out about him, currently, no one knew his name or his identity. He could only hide for a while and then go back and think of a countermeasure immediately.

With this thought in mind, Xu Shan decisively stood up. But as soon as he stood up halfway, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Xu Shan gasped heavily, his eyes filled with shock and suspicion. Something was wrong... Why was this happening? His spiritual energy was severely depleted, and he couldn't exert any strength. Especially, there was a sense of emptiness in his waist, as if his bones had been pulled out. Could it be that even touching the poisonous ingredients with his hands would cause problems?

Lu Xiangjun beside him was still moaning lewdly. Xu Shan gritted his teeth and let out a low growl as he forced himself to stand up. He hadn't walked two steps when he fell down again.

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Shan's forehead. No, he simply didn't have the strength to run away, and even if he could run, he couldn't go far...

In a hurry, Xu Shan's eyes darted around until they locked onto the kitchen knife on the stove, and an idea came to his mind.

"☝ Hey!"

...

In the main hall of the Xinglan Sect.

Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out on Ye Qingbi's forehead. The scene in front of her had completely exceeded her imagination. It was like a chaotic dance of demons, in a complete mess. All kinds of cloth pieces were still flying in the air... The low tables and chairs were kicked everywhere. Some people were baring their chests, some were lying sprawled out, and some were hugging each other face to face. The only thing they had in common was that everyone was holding a plate of food.

There was only one person different from the rest. That was Guo Yang's direct disciple, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. In the midst of the chaos, he was holding a sword in both hands, trembling and at a loss...

"This is the first time I've tasted such a flavor. This dish has an unprecedented fresh taste and a gentle sweetness, making the whole dish even more mysterious..."

"The juicy filling, combined with the chewy skin, is a perfect match..."

"This is... This is the aroma of the broth that has burned a bit. Indeed, in this case, there's no need for dipping sauce. After the broth seeps into the skin, the moderate charring really makes the flavor更香 (more fragrant)..."

"The yellow skin, with black crumbs on it, has a very vivid color... It's really delicious. It's as if countless particles are jumping vividly in my mouth..."

All kinds of embarrassing cries sounded one after another. The whole place had fallen into a state of madness, with people saying unspeakable things.

Almost everyone had eaten Xu Shan's dishes at the same time. Although Guo Yang's behavior was abnormal, everyone just thought it was a problem with his personality and didn't think much of it. In fact, there was no need to think too much. In this situation, the small Xinglan Sect couldn't possibly try to harm people. Only someone with their mind addled would do such a thing.

So when Guo Yang had that experience, the others were already overcome with appetite and couldn't hold back anymore, so they all picked up their chopsticks at the same time.

Guo Yang's direct disciple was trembling and had completely lost his composure. For a moment, he pointed the sword at the crowd, and then at Ye Qingbi. He didn't know whether to feel lucky or unfortunate in his heart. He had originally wanted to eat too, but his gluttonous master had forcefully ordered him to take it away. So he had escaped this disaster. But now, except for the elders and the sect master of the Xinglan Sect, everyone in the hall had been affected. What was the use of him being the only one left?

It's so terrifying... Even if he had entered the lair of a powerful devil cultivator, it wouldn't be this bad...

Finally, a drop of sweat that had accumulated on Ye Qingbi's forehead flowed down her delicate cheek. Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Great Realm was shocked by this scene, with her pupils dilated in disbelief.

This banquet today was originally held to entertain the distinguished guests and build relationships on the pretext of her breakthrough. How could it have turned out like this... And all because of just a few dishes.
