Chapter 259: Chapter 117 Zhou Cang Takes on a Disciple (Part 2)
At that moment, the room fell silent.
Everyone's eyelids twitched, and question marks seemed to appear above their heads; no one could speak.
Those who were earnestly running the Heavenly Mandate Vitality and felt they had a chance were looking at each other with broken expressions.
Especially Yan Sansan, who had been chosen by Zhou Cang, believed he could become the other's disciple and show off in front of Zhang Xuan to flaunt his prowess. But it turned out he was not eligible…
That would have been fine. One can never say for sure when it comes to fate, but choosing a genius I could have accepted. You're telling me, he wanted to take a horse as a disciple?
“This seems to have gone a bit too far…”
Shi Yunjing's eyelids twitched, followed by seeing Qian Yuhuan beside him nodding nonstop.
Everyone was shocked; just moments ago, Zhou Cang was talking as if he would treat them like his own sons and daughters. Suddenly, he almost fainted on the spot.
What did I just see?
The culinary legacy that I've sought for so many years and never found… Are you f***ing telling me it's a horse?
Shakily, he rubbed his eyes.
Dao Li, having swallowed the light ring, let out a satisfied burp.
Boom!
A roaring sound erupted, and countless Heavenly Mandate Vitalities swirled around its body. At the same time, its aura exploded violently, and countless Origin qi surged into its body.
Galaxy Realm, second realm of the fragments of the heavens, broke through simultaneously!
Without the breakthrough, everything would have been fine, but as soon as the breakthrough occurred and Heavenly Mandate Vitality swirled around, a river of Heavenly Mandate faintly emerged. Zhou Cang couldn't help but look toward the end of the river, where it connected with his own perfection…
Exactly the Cooking Dao Destiny, down to the last detail!
A horse has understood my legacy?
Come on, tell me, how is it going to hold a knife, chop vegetables, and toss a wok with those hooves…
Initially, he thought about recognizing a godson, or goddaughter. But now, what the heck!
In the future, others would bring their disciples to competitions and proudly introduce them: “This is my beloved student…”
But I would bring a horse: “This is my son…”
Just thinking about it was enough to make everything go dark before my eyes.
While he was feeling utterly gloomy, he saw that Zhang Xuan who had been talking to him earlier had somehow come over to the majestic horse and slapped it in the face.
“Spit it out! Who told you to absorb it?”
“Neeeigh, neeeigh…” Dao Li looked wronged.
It just felt that the Heavenly Mandate Vitality in the light ring was somewhat similar to what it had comprehended, and couldn't help but step forward and eat it, never expecting its master to get so angry…
“What's going on?”
Seeing how familiar this man and horse were with each other, Zhou Cang couldn't hold it in any longer.
“This…”
Zhang Xuan, with an awkward expression: “This horse is my beast pet. It accidentally swallowed your light ring just now. I'll have it spit it out right away…”
To tell the truth, he had no idea that this guy could also comprehend Heavenly Mandate, let alone with such a significant background…
He just casually helped to activate the Source Pool and injected a few strands of the primordial energy, how did it turn into such a big deal?
“No need to spit it out!”
Zhou Cang felt somewhat dispirited and took two steps towards Dao Li, staring it down: “Can you cook?”
Dao Li lifted its head: “Neeeigh, neeeigh!”
Zhang Xuan translated: “It says, who are you looking down upon?”
Zhou Cang: “… Your hooves can chop vegetables?”
Dao Li angrily: “Neeeigh, neeeigh!”
Zhang Xuan translated: “It's saying you old fool, you look down on people! Cough cough, it said it, not me…”
Zhou Cang: “… Then cook some horse meat for me.”
Dao Li shrunk its neck: “Neeeigh~~ neeeigh~~”
Zhang Xuan translated: “It says horse meat doesn't taste good; it knows its mistake…”
Zhou Cang had no words to say.
Even a fool could see at this point that this horse had indeed grasped his Cooking Dao Destiny… and it truly could cook!
“Cough, cough, Old Zhou, why don't we look again? There's still time, the Cooking Dao Destiny is a vast river, and there are many cultivators; we should be able to find a few suitable ones…”
Seeing his old friend's constipated and despairing expression, Miao Hengsheng couldn't help but comfort him.
“You can find many disciples, but how easy is it to find one that can truly carry on the mantle?”
Zhou Cang gave a bitter smile.
“This…” Miao Hengsheng and Feng Yuanping looked at each other, both speechless.
The Cooking Dao Destiny was one of the ninety-nine grade-3 Heavenly Destinies. To inherit it, you needed several conditions: First, an extremely high talent; second, a comprehension of the most core Heavenly Destiny of the culinary arts…
With these conditions piling up, finding a suitable successor wasn't going to be easy.
That's why, despite many years of searching, not only him, but they also hadn't found suitable candidates. And now, having sensed someone comprehending it from afar, they thought they had found a true successor, only to end up with… this.
“What do you plan to do?” Feng Yuanping asked.
“What else can I do? This is fate… Since destiny has given me a horse as a disciple, naturally, I must comply!”
Despite feeling helpless, Zhou Cang eventually let out a sigh.
Practicing destiny, they all knew that sometimes, no matter how high-spirited or proud one was, it couldn't overcome the will of heaven that existed in the dark.
“Alright then…”
Seeing his friend like this, Feng Yuanping and Miao Hengsheng, despite feeling somewhat gloomy, nodded and gave their blessings.
Even if one's cultivation reached their level, life still had its limits. Without taking disciples, all one's skills could very well vanish with life into the annals of history. Once there was a reluctance, it could very likely form Heaven Mandate Domain!
This could not only harm an entire region but also leave one's soul unable to rest in peace.
“Alright, I have the cooking utensils here. Make a dish for me to see…”
Shaking his head, no longer paying attention to his two friends, Zhou Cang flipped his wrist, and a large pile of cooking utensils and food appeared before him.
“Neeeigh, neeeigh!”
Seeing that he was to cook, Dao Li looked quizzically at his young master. After noticing Zhang Xuan's nod, it tied on an apron, stood on its hind legs, and positioned a knife between its hoof flaps.
Clang clang clang clang clang!
It chopped a plate of potato strips.
Have to say, they were freakishly fine.
“Your knife skills are already much better than those of the chefs who've trained for over ten years…”
After watching for a while, Zhou Cang's eyelids twitched.
True to having grasped the Cooking Dao Destiny, although the horse hooves seemed clumsy, the chopping was incredibly nimble. This knife skill, though far from matching his own, certainly surpassed that of the average chef.
Chopping vegetables, preparing the dish, lighting the fire, cooking, Dao Li did it all in one go; soon, a serving of sour and spicy potato strips was presented.
Zhou Cang tasted and, although not extraordinary, it wasn't too far off.
“Forget it, you then…”
Seeing that this creature truly was capable, Zhou Cang stopped being conflicted, staring directly at the horse before him, and cracked a slight smile: “I want to take you as my disciple. Come back to the Culinary God Hall with me. Rest assured, with my training, you'll make great progress in a short time…”
Dao Li was taken aback, its head swaying like a rattle-drum: “Neeeigh, neeeigh!”
Zhang Xuan translated: “It says no, I refuse!”
Zhou Cang: “???”
He had made countless mental preparations to take a horse as a disciple, but now, the horse was telling him… it refused?
Zhou Cang was utterly dumbfounded.
