I am Master Maoshan

The evening in Qingfeng Courtyard is quiet and peaceful. The setting sun shines through the treetops in the courtyard and shines on the path paved with bluestone slabs. The light and shadows are intertwined, reflecting a picture of peace and tranquility. At this time, the fragrance in this ancient courtyard is particularly fascinating, as if it can penetrate time and lead people's minds to the depths of distant memories.

The pavilion in the center of the courtyard is simple and elegant, with exquisite patterns carved on the hexagonal top, and the stone structure looks particularly solid. In the center of the pavilion is a stone table, which is so shiny that you can see through it. The meticulous polishing technique makes people admire the craftsman's efforts. Around the stone table, six round stone stools are symmetrically arranged, with wide and flat surfaces. When people sit on them, they feel not only the coolness of the stone, but also the calmness and tranquility.

In the center of the stone table, a steaming pot is quietly emitting hot steam, and the steam is like light smoke curling on the pot surface, slowly rising. This pot is not only simple in appearance, but also very eye-catching. One pot has two flavors, one is fresh and spicy, and the other is light and delicious. The two flavors blend in the pot, exuding an irresistible aroma. The freshness of the ingredients and the aroma of the seasoning are perfectly combined, stimulating people's taste buds, and people are conquered by the aroma before they taste it.

Surrounding the shabu-shabu pot are more than a dozen bowls and plates of various shapes and sizes, round or square, with a wide variety of ingredients on the plates. The fat beef slices are ruddy in color and plump in texture, lying on the plate like red gems, exuding an attractive luster. The oysters are plump and delicious, and the crystal juice seems to drip at any time, tempting people to taste it. The baby cabbage is as green as jade, fresh and refreshing, and is a light choice to blend the entire menu. And the salmon ham shows the chef's superb skills, with layers of meat slices stacked in bright colors, and people can feel the rich meaty aroma at a glance.

Xiao Nuonuo sat on the stone bench, her eyes flickering with desire for delicious food. Her little face was filled with curiosity and anticipation, as if in front of this delicious food, all the sorrow and unhappiness could be swept away.

Her little mouth opened and closed, as if she was suppressing the urge to taste the food immediately. Beside her, Liu Jun kept putting ingredients into the hot pot, watching Xiao Nuonuo from the corner of his eyes, with a hint of doting on his face.

"Big brother, is this delicacy ready to eat? I've been waiting for so long!" There was a hint of coquettishness and impatience in Xiao Nuonuo's voice.

"Wait a minute, a guest is coming." Liu Jun's words were calm, but full of pampering and patience.

At this moment, a thin figure appeared at the gate of Qingfeng Courtyard, suddenly like a ghost, with a sense of the sediment of time.

"Hahaha, Elder Liu, what delicious food did you cook? I can smell it from more than ten miles away. I wonder if you would be so kind as to let me have a taste of it?" The voice of the Grand Elder Wuning echoed in the air, full of cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

"Okay, just add one more pair of chopsticks. Welcome." Liu Jun smiled slightly and answered very happily.

The speed of the Grand Elder Wu Ning was amazing, as if he had teleported in an instant, and he arrived at the pavilion where they were eating in an instant. His eyes fell directly on the hot pot on the table, and his eyes flashed with greed and curiosity.

"Elder Liu, what kind of delicacy is this? This utensils look very special." Supreme Elder Wuning couldn't help but ask, his voice full of amazement and doubt.

It’s not that there is no hot pot in the divine world, but the utensils are similar to those in a tripod, not as fancy as a mandarin duck copper pot, and the seasonings are limited, not as varied as in the human world.

Hotpot, this unique delicacy, has a long history in China. Its charm lies not only in the rich ingredients, but also in the unique cooking method and dining atmosphere.

In the cold winter, a group of like-minded friends sit around the hot pot, enjoying the warmth brought by the food and talking about each other's daily life. What a beautiful picture.

Although it is not winter and there is no group of friends around, the three of them sitting together can be considered a harmonious picture.

"This thing is called a simmered hot pot. The clear soup base has a delicious taste and is suitable for those who don't like spicy food." Liu Jun pointed to the copper pot and introduced, "And this spicy hot pot base is good news for those who like spicy food. It has a mellow taste and is spicy but not dry."

"Can we start eating now?" Wu Ning Grand Elder asked impatiently. Although he had lived for countless years, he still had no resistance to delicious food.

Fortunately, Supreme Elder Wuning had not lost his mind because of the delicious food and still cared about his image as the Supreme Elder, otherwise he would have started eating right now.

"It's OK, let's eat." Liu Jun replied. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ning's Grand Elder and Xiao Nuonuo started eating at the same time. They quickly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the pot, and then carefully put it into their mouths.

After all, Grand Elder Wu Ning was already a master at the Half-Step God King level, and even though the food was fresh out of the pot, he had thick skin and flesh, so he would not get burned.

But Xiao Nuonuo was different. She accidentally picked up a beef ball and took a bite before Liu Jun could stop her. She was so burned that she spit it out. Liu Jun couldn't help laughing when he saw her red face.

"Slow down, slow down, don't be in a hurry. You'd better dip it in some sesame sauce so that it won't be too hot and will be more fragrant." Liu Jun pointed to the bowl on the table with chopsticks and said to Wuning Supreme Elder and Xiao Nuonuo with a smile.

The bowl of sesame sauce has a rich color and exudes a mellow aroma, which makes people want to taste it.

Wu Ning's Grand Elder and Xiao Nuonuo followed Liu Jun's advice, picked up a piece of fatty beef with chopsticks, dipped it in the sesame sauce bowl, and then put it in their mouths. The rich sesame sauce and the deliciousness of the fatty beef made them smile with satisfaction. Xiao Nuonuo's eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, with a look of satisfaction and happiness. She savored the food in her mouth, feeling the delicious taste of the rich sesame sauce and the deliciousness of the fatty beef bursting in her mouth.

Wu Ning's Grand Elder showed surprise on his face and started eating with big mouthfuls. He savored the delicious taste in his mouth and exclaimed: "Delicious, delicious!"

The three of them were immersed in the aroma and delicious taste of the hot pot. Their moods were as warm as the boiling soup. In this cozy little house, all worries seemed to be thrown away. Especially the Grand Elder Wu Ning, his usually serious face was relaxed at this moment. He was immersed in the process of enjoying the food and completely forgot that he was wearing an image crystal.

At the same time, in the meeting hall of Danzong, many senior executives were sitting in front of an oversized crystal glass, their eyes full of speechlessness and helplessness. The crystal glass clearly reflected the scene of Liu Jun and others from Qingfengyuan, making people feel as if they were at the scene.

Therefore, Liu Jun and his team accidentally started a food live broadcast, and the audience was exactly these high-ranking officials of the Dan Sect. They witnessed all this, but they were not dissatisfied with it, but just felt that it was a bit outrageous and a little greedy.

"Grand Elder Wuning, have you forgotten what you are doing?" Finally, an elder complained, and his voice broke the eerie silence.

"Alas, I feel that delivering the image crystal is secondary, and getting a free meal is the purpose of Supreme Elder Wu Ning." Another elder could not help but express his opinion.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Looking at the behavior of Grand Elder Wuning and thinking about his character, it is entirely possible that he would do such a thing.

"This looks delicious." A young elder stared at the delicious food displayed in the crystal glass. His eyes were shining with desire, as if the food in the hot pot had an irresistible temptation, making him want to jump in and feast on it.

"This Elder Liu is not only skilled in alchemy, but he is also good at cooking. It is really admirable." Master Wu Sheng praised.

His eyes were also attracted by the delicious food in the hot pot, and he was obviously longing for the food. If possible, he really wanted to have a meal.

"Grand Elder Canghai, how about we get started?" Jiang Yueyang suggested.

This large group of Danzong's high-ranking officials gathered together to watch others eat. Putting aside the question of whether they were greedy or not, this scene was not very proper. If this were to get out, where would their Danzong's reputation be in the God Realm?
"Let's start." Supreme Elder Canghai sighed slightly. He knew that it would be useless even if he contacted Supreme Elder Wuning now. Faced with delicious food, Wuning would not listen to anyone. He could only helplessly begin to control the map of mountains and rivers floating in the air.

Under the control of the Supreme Elder Canghai, the spiritual energy in Qingfeng Courtyard where Liu Jun was located dropped sharply. The flowers, plants and trees that were full of vitality before now looked a little withered, as if they had lost the support of vitality.

Liu Jun and Grand Elder Wu Ning both stopped what they were doing. Only Xiao Nuonuo, who had no spiritual energy in her body, was still enjoying the food without realizing it.

"What's going on?" Liu Jun asked with a relaxed smile, gently shaking the drink cup in his hand, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he had seen through everything.

The Grand Elder Wuning did not say anything, but just pointed to the sky. The pattern of a formation was faintly reflected in the sky. It was the Qiankun Wuji Formation. This formation was the treasure of the Dan Sect and had boundless power.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jun instantly understood what was going on. This Dan Sect was obviously trying to test his formation ability. Although he was a little unhappy that they did this without warning, he was not without a plan to deal with it.

He already had an idea in his mind. Since he wanted to test someone, he might as well make the test bigger. He could just break the Dan Sect's Qiankun Wuji Formation.

"Let me be frank with you first. I am only tinkering with the formation in my own yard. I will not be responsible if it has any impact on the Qiankun Wuji Formation." As Liu Jun spoke, he picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth with an elegant and calm movement.

The Supreme Elder Canghai on the other side of the image crystal suddenly had an ominous premonition, and his gaze immediately turned to Elder Gou.

Elder Gou is the Dan Sect's formation master. His understanding of the Qiankun Wuji Formation is unmatched. He may be able to find a way to break the formation.

Elder Gou pondered for a moment and slowly said, "It's impossible. This Qiankun Wuji Formation was set up by a formation master. If you want to break it, even a formation master of the same level will need a long time to do it. The formation master can't do this yet." (End of this chapter)
