He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

The head chef of Wanbaolou is the Seventh Elder, whom the Third Elder calls Old Seven. Every supernatural cultivator who comes to visit will be led to Wanbaolou for a meal by these elders.

The food he made using his supernatural powers was incredibly delicious, unlike anything found in the mortal world.

Legend has it that before achieving supernatural powers, this seventh brother traveled all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, collecting recipes for various delicacies. It can be said that he learned all the dishes in the Great Zhou Dynasty and became very proficient in them.

This unconventional way of attaining enlightenment is truly rare, but its existence is justified. Speaking of which, Lao Qi has been here for almost fifty years, and we have never seen him take action.

That's pretty unusual, haha.

These thoughts flashed through Shi Cheng's mind in an instant. He wasn't a busybody; some things were better left unsaid than thought.

It's said that sword cultivators are often aloof, but Shi Cheng has been at Wanbao Mountain for many years. What aloofness and invincible sword heart? Now it seems that he has lost his courage to forge ahead. After achieving supernatural powers, he has become complacent.

Or perhaps they've run out of options. The Demon-Catching Alliance has absolutely no guidance or experience for cultivators with supernatural powers, and with their current cultivation level, joining other major immortal sects is even more impossible.

With his cultivation level, his age, and his profound thoughts, no immortal mountain would consider him a key talent for cultivation; at most, they would grant him the title of honorary elder.

Without making significant contributions to the sect, one might never be able to access important information about supernatural powers in this lifetime.

There was a time when Shi Cheng had visited some immortal mountains and served as an honorary elder, but the rewards were too low, and he couldn't access the core supernatural powers and secret techniques. In addition, the major immortal mountains were all very stable, unless he went to the Xuanxin Sect.

The Xuanxin Sect has been at odds with the Yinyue Dynasty for many years. I heard that they had just made peace a hundred years ago, but now they've started fighting again.

Numerous thoughts quickly flashed through Shi Cheng's mind. Even he himself was a little puzzled. What was wrong with him today? Why did he have so many thoughts?

He didn't usually have so many thoughts, so Shi Cheng didn't think much of it, but just muttered something strange to himself.

This is the brilliance of the Heart Sword. Shi Cheng never expected that such a bizarre swordsmanship could exist in this world. This is where the importance of inheritance is reflected.

Xu Yiya influenced Shi Cheng with his Heart Sword Divine Power, hoping to gain some information from Shi Cheng's emotions. However, being an old and experienced man, Shi Cheng's expression remained unchanged even with the Heart Sword's influence; only his thoughts became more complex.

Xu Yiya dared not unleash his Heart Sword Divine Power too forcefully, fearing that Shi Cheng would notice, which would be very impolite. If he were to be discovered, a battle would likely be inevitable.

The Heart Sword came quickly and went quickly; he could just treat it as practice. Xu Yiya thought to himself.

Soon, a large table of dishes was served, featuring flavors from various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all prepared using supernatural methods.

As for what kind of supernatural power the seventh brother possessed, Shi Cheng wasn't quite sure either. It was a private matter that was inconvenient to ask.

He only knew that the seventh brother loved to cook. Based on this reasoning, it seemed that the more food the seventh brother cooked, the higher his cultivation level would be? Shi Cheng didn't believe that anyone would be willing to waste time on such a thing, unless it could really improve their cultivation level.

"Come, come, Fellow Daoist Xu, please enjoy. You won't find this kind of food anywhere else outside of Wanbaoshan, hehe."

What Shi Cheng said was true; there are not many cultivators who have entered the Dao through culinary skills, and coincidentally, there is one in Wanbaoshan.

There may be other independent cultivators, but they should all be living in seclusion. Most cultivators who enter the Dao through cooking are people who prefer tranquility and will not stay in various immortal forces for too long.

Shi Cheng did not know the cultivation method of the Way of Food, so he was not quite sure why they did it this way. All he knew was hearsay.

The seventh brother had a need to join the alliance, which he knew, but it seemed that this need had not been fulfilled over the years. Only the vice leader and the leader of the alliance knew about this need.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Xu Yiya finally got down to business with Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng asked politely, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let's not beat around the bush. You've come to Wanbao Mountain with a request, or...?"

Xu Yiya had no intention of hiding anything. He came to Wanbao Mountain for only one purpose: "Elder Shi, I have only one purpose in coming here. I need rare and precious materials that can rebuild my body, and they must be able to withstand the power of a Chaoyuan cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Shi Cheng's face showed a troubled expression. It wasn't just politeness; this matter was genuinely difficult. Where could one find so many treasures capable of rebuilding the bodies of cultivators with supernatural powers...?

He said with difficulty, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you must be joking. I can post a similar notice for you, but whether I can find it is another matter."

"We at Wanbaoshan don't have that kind of guarantee; we can't say for sure that we can find a treasure that can withstand a cultivator with supernatural powers."

"However, if it's the next level, with a little effort, there should be a chance."

This time, Shi Cheng wasn't just being polite. He hadn't seen many treasures of this caliber in all these years. Of course, the treasures he had seen were only those usable at the supernatural level, not the kind that could rebuild the body.

This is difficult. If Xu Yiya wants to obtain a treasure of the supernatural level, he needs to hunt down a monster of the supernatural level as a reward.

In this way, the Demon-Catching Alliance will issue the highest bounty order, which is a rule of the Demon-Catching Alliance, and Xu Yiya has always been well aware of it.

Shi Cheng also knew that monsters with supernatural powers were very difficult to kill.

If it's a less demanding situation, a notice can be issued to alert other demon hunters in the demon-catching alliance that bartering is possible, but it must go through Wanbaoshan, and Wanbaoshan will take half of the reward, or something like that.

If Xu Yiya wants to exchange for this treasure, he needs to pay half the original price as a "reward" from Wanbaoshan.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, let's not even talk about whether we can find this treasure. You must be aware of the rules of Wanbaoshan, right..."

Shi Cheng kindly offered a reminder.

Xu Yiya shook his head, his mind made up, and firmly asked, "Elder Shi, how many lesser-level demonic beasts are needed to calculate the conversion between supernatural demonic beasts?"

The cultivation of demons is quite unique. Before they take human form, they mainly cultivate a demon core. After they take human form, this demon core will also undergo a transformation, turning into a golden core similar to that of humans.

However, the strength of this demon core is far beyond that of a golden core, which will later transform into something like a primordial spirit.

But the demon core won't.

"If we convert it this way, you would need to hunt down a thousand demonic beasts that have survived the tribulation of lightning and fire transformation."

It should be noted that supernatural powers are not easy to cultivate; perhaps only one out of a thousand demonic beasts can cultivate them.

This was after successfully surviving the tribulation of transformation.

Xu Yiya fell silent. This condition was far too difficult. He was unwilling to commit so much bloodshed, and besides, it was really hard to find so many transformed demonic beasts.
