Chapter 1258: Distance Between Chef Supreme and Lin Yuan
By having two of his identities be the cause of the incident, Lin Yuan would be able to reap significant benefits.
Firstly, he would be able to control the event. Secondly, two of his identities would be able to have a large spotlight beating down on them.
As long as the incident persisted, two of his identities would be able to gain an enormous amount of faith power.
Wen Yu was nothing short of a top strategic genius. She was able to solve the issue that Lin Yuan had been butting heads with just a few statements.
Lin Yuan picked up the teapot on the table and brewed a pot of Three Treasures Tea. He added the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus nectar into the tea and ignited the hade-textured agarwood.
“Wen Yu, Zong Ze is coming to visit. He should be here soon. Let’s go and greet him at the entrance together,” said Lin Yuan.
Wen Yu agreed softly before the pair walked toward the mansion’s entrance together.
When Wen Yu was still a spirit attendant, she was always nervous when she had to greet important people like Zong Ze, who was Chef Supreme’s youngest disciple.
But now that she had been by Lin Yuan’s side for some time, her horizons and knowledge had increased by tenfold from a year before.
Given that she spent every day with outstanding younger generation members like Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, Zong Ze dimmed by comparison.
…
She suddenly remembered that Liu Jie had called this morning and said to Lin Yuan, “Young Master, Big Brother Liu said he would return from the Spirit Guards’ land this afternoon to cook for us. I will call him now to ask him to buy more ingredients.”
The moment the last word left Wen Yu’s lips, a magnetic chuckle sounded out from the space next to Lin Yuan.
“Master’s Dragon Within Pond opened recently. The crabs in the pond are at their fattest and strongest now. I brought several fresh crabs inside my Diamond fey storage box. Let me cook lunch!”

Lin Yuan thought, Zong Ze must also have a spatial-type fey that enables him to teleport.
When Lin Yuan turned to greet Zong Ze, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Zong Ze’s eyes shone with a dim dark red, and there was an aura of an overwhelming desire for battle being suppressed.
Lin Yuan remembered that a curse plagued Zong Ze.
The Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen was produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone at a quick rate, and a box was filled every two weeks.
Wang Fuxiang went through one box in about 25 days.
Hence, Lin Yuan still had more than enough Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen for Zong Ze.
However, this was not a good opportunity to give the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen to Zong Ze.
Zong Ze had just offered to cook lunch. This meant that he treated Lin Yuan as one of his friends.
Lin Yuan smiled and replied, “I’ve been missing your cooking ever since our last meal. Come in and let’s talk.”
Zong Ze spotted the almost complete Submerged Flood Dragon Lake as they walked into the mansion.
Zong Ze could not help but marvel at the beauty of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.
As Chef Supreme’s youngest disciple, Zong Ze had seen more than his fair share of opulent mansions and landscapes.
However, the rainbow lake, half-filled with large lotus leaves that had flower-covered pavilions built atop them, was a testament to the mansion owner’s artistic taste.
The moment Zong Ze entered the mansion, his eyes were drawn to the red sandalwood longevity fish tank.
Unlike the rest of the people who had visited the Return from Faraway Mansion, Zong Ze was not admiring its value but its design.
While Lin Yuan poured a cup of tea for Zong Ze, the latter handed two brocade boxes to Lin Yuan and said, “One of these is my gift to you as a guest. The other is the Wind Crystal Precious Bottle that you asked me to procure.”
Lin Yuan received the two brocade boxes and removed the string of pearls from around his wrist.
He gave it to Zong Ze and said, “Big Brother Zong, take this chain of pearls and use it. You can return it to me whenever you’re done.”
Zong Ze had only intended on borrowing the Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl from Lin Yuan.
But now that Lin Yuan was handing the chain of 108 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to him without hesitation, Zong Ze’s heart skipped a beat.
Since Lin Yuan wore the chain around his wrist, it had to be one of his treasured items.
Zong Ze had intended on taking the fire-type Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearl back with him before using it on the Fiery Sky Hou.
However, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to take Lin Yuan’s treasured item back with him.
Zong Ze summoned the Fiery Sky Hou and said, “Luckily, my Fiery Sky Hou is only one step away from increasing the purity of its bloodline. Why don’t I instruct the Fiery Sky Hou to sense the pure fire-elemental energy inside the two elemental pearls to increase its bloodline’s purity?”
After the Fiery Sky Hou was summoned, it squeaked in greeting at Lin Yuan while perching itself on Zong Ze’s shoulder.
Zong Ze gestured for it to leap onto the table.
Shortly after, a wave of fire-elemental energy flowed out from its body and wrapped around the two Heavenly Maiden Sleet pearls in Zon Ze’s hand.
At this moment, the silhouette of the heavenly maiden inside the pearls seemed to solidify.
Lin Yuan noticed that the fire-elemental energy flowing from the Fiery Sky Hou started to change as well.
With a shake of Zong Ze’s hand, several cooked dishes appeared.
Zong Ze placed the dishes in front of the Fiery Sky Hou and instructed it to consume them to gain pure spirit qi.
These dishes had been made by the Class 5 Creation Master Chef Supreme.
The Moon Empress’ Creation Master path was defined by her concoction of scents, while Chef Supreme’s path was defined by cooking.
Lin Yuan studied the dishes curiously.
He used True Data and found out that the spirit qi within the dishes was about 57% of the concentration of the spirit qi within the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

As such, Lin Yuan discovered the difference between the pure spirit qi concocted by Chef Supreme and that of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
