He looked so tired .
To recover the Immortal Tree's seedlings, he had utilized every method at his disposal, using up almost all of his true energy and mental force .
But the seedlings remained dormant .
Inside Immortal Chef Little Store, Realm Lord Di Tai could finally relax his nerves and body . That was why he sank into a chair the moment he walked in .
Bu Fang and the restaurant had some magical power that could ease people's minds, making them feel satisfied and comfortable .
Bu Fang said nothing and just walked into the kitchen .
After some time, he returned with a blue-and-white bowl, which he placed in front of Realm Lord Di Tai . Then, he went to get another one for himself .
The bowls contained Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine .
Gulp . Gulp .
The cool wine reflected the radiant glow of the light inside the restaurant . Its rich aroma permeated every inch of their mouths, teasing their taste buds .
Realm Lord Di Tai opened his eyes . He looked at the wine with excitement in his eyes .
"Good wine!"
Realm Lord Di Tai's compliment came from the bottom of his heart .
Bu Fang's mouth twitched, but he said nothing . The Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine was the most delicious wine he had made .
If Realm Lord Di Tai did not look so exhausted, Bu Fang wouldn't have offered him this wine . He didn't have much of this wine, and the process of brewing it was not easy .
After pouring himself a bowl of wine, Bu Fang put the bottle away .
On the other side, Nethery pulled up a chair, sat down, and looked at Bu Fang .
Bu Fang thought for a moment, then he gave his bowl of wine to Nethery . After that, he poured himself another bowl .
The smell of wine filled the entire restaurant .
Taking a deep breath, Realm Lord Di Tai felt his mind lighten, which made his mood brighten up .
Picking up the wine bowl, he took a sip . The smooth fluid slid down his throat and into his stomach .
The incredibly good aroma lingered in the mouth, and Realm Lord Di Tai couldn't help but immerse himself in it .
It had been a long time since he had had such good wine .
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, but the corners of his lip curled up as he took a sip .

Sometimes, calming down and enjoying good wine was a cozy activity .
Nethery held her bowl of wine with both hands . She carefully took a sip, and her red lips parted slightly as she exhaled .
"We've got good wine . How come we don't have anything to go with it?"
Bu Fang furrowed his brows first, then relaxed and smiled . He stood up and walked into the kitchen .
A moment later, the bell above the kitchen door jingled .
Bu Fang carried a dish of kimchi over and placed it onto the table .
"Try and see if this is good enough," Bu Fang said .
Realm Lord Di Tai was curious . Immediately, he grabbed the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of kimchi .
The kimchi felt crunchy . It was sour and spicy too .
As his teeth sank into the kimchi, the sour juice oozed out . It swirled around his tongue, enveloping his taste buds .
Crunch!
He chewed and swallowed, enjoying the sour and spicy taste of the cabbage, which made every inch of his body feel refreshed .
Realm Lord Di Tai narrowed his eyes in bliss . Having a piece of kimchi and a sip of good wine, this feeling was so awesome that he had no words to describe it .
The three did not say anything more . They just drank the good wine and munched on the kimchi . The atmosphere was quite calm and leisurely .
Xixi pulled out a chair and sat aside, watching the other three enjoy themselves . Her eyes were filled with curiosity .
A long while later, they finally finished their wine and kimchi .
Bu Fang dropped his bowl and exhaled .
Nethery's nose had become a little red . She enjoyed the spicy taste of the kimchi a lot . When she pulled up a chair, she looked pale, but now, she was blushing .
She looked somewhat cute now .
"Alright, we've eaten and drank . Let's get down to business," Bu Fang calmly said to Realm Lord Di Tai .
He knew that Realm Lord Di Tai had something important to say, which was why he had come to visit . Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to find him at such a critical time for the Immortal Cooking Realm .
After eating and drinking his fill, Realm Lord Di Tai felt much better . He seemed to have recovered a bit of his vitality .
He smiled at Bu Fang and said, "Little Bu Bu, you understand me well . After drinking your wine, I figured something out . . . "

Realm Lord Di Tai rubbed his chin and moved his hand . A moment later, his hand began to emit a golden, sparkling light .
Within his hands were two golden Immortal Tree seedlings, which were filled with thick immortal energy .
The moment the seedlings appeared, the immortal energy swirled and began to permeate the restaurant . "The Immortal Tree's seedlings?"
Bu Fang looked pensive as he observed Realm Lord Di Tai .
"These things… can't live . " Realm Lord Di Tai glanced at Bu Fang, forcing a smile on his face .
"Didn't you say that they're the living ones?" Bu Fang frowned .
"They're alive… but they're not sprouting," Realm Lord Di Tai replied, rubbing his sleek, golden hair as though he was dealing with a headache . "I feel that they've been damaged because of your Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball…"
"Don't… We're on the same side . Don't wield your pot . " Bu Fang cocked his head to one side, looking at him .
He would never admit that the explosion his Bursting Pissing Beef Meatball had wrought was what damaged the Immortal Tree's seedlings .
He had consulted Realm Lord Di Tai before he did that .
Back then, Realm Lord Di Tai had patted his chest, claiming that nothing would happen to the seedlings .
"Good… If so, just consider it a matter that has nothing to do with you . Anyway, Little Bu Bu… When will you make me several hundred Bursting Pissing Beef Meatballs? I'm going to conquer the universe," Realm Lord Di Tai said .
"Okay, give me ten Immortal Tree seedlings in exchange," Bu Fang expressionlessly said .
Realm Lord Di Tai almost vomited blood .
Ten Immortal Tree seedlings? Why don't you just go to heaven?!
"If you don't have them, don't force it… No rush . " Bu Fang looked at Realm Lord Di Tai with disdain .
"Good, now let's talk business . First, I wanted to embrace and build up some feelings, but you cut it off," Realm Lord Di Tai said, stroking his hair .
"Spit it out . "
Realm Lord Di Tai nodded . "Okay . "
His hand trembled once, and a gray jar of wine appeared . He then placed the gray jar of wine on the table, blinking at Bu Fang as he did so .
"This wine is the one I've meticulously made . I want you to keep it here . Later, I'll come here more frequently to enjoy some liquor!" said Realm Lord Di Tai . "This wine is as good as the one you've just treated us to!"
"Yeah?" Bu Fang was bewildered .
Is that it? That's the matter he wished to discuss?
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched, but he remained silent .

He picked up the gray jar of wine and walked into the kitchen, pushing the curtain on the door and making the bell above jingle .
After putting Realm Lord Di Tai's wine into the cabinet, Bu Fang turned around and walked back to the table .
"Did you keep it safe?" asked Realm Lord Di Tai .
Bu Fang nodded . "Yes, can we talk about business now?"
"Okay . Now that you have stored the wine, I can put my mind at ease . Even if the Immortal Cooking Realm is destroyed, the memory I leave behind will be safe here," Realm Lord Di Tai said, smiling .
After a moment's pause, he added, "Little Bu Bu, how do we resolve the issue with the Immortal Tree seedlings?"
Bu Fang said nothing . He just expressionlessly gazed at Realm Lord Di Tai .
Realm Lord Di Tai was filled with regret for a while . Then, he looked up at Bu Fang . "The only method available is to go to Earth Prison and find the Spring of Life . So, Little Bu Bu, can you help me and go there?"
"The Spring of Life?" Bu Fang's brows furrowed .
Nethery, who was sitting at the side, also frowned . Her eyes turned even darker as she said, "The Spring of Life flows in one of the forbidden lands of Earth Prison, the God Vanishing Mountain . Even if a lesser god goes there, he will possibly die, and you're asking Bu Fang to go there?"
Realm Lord Di Tai looked downcast . "It's because I have no other options . The Immortal Cooking Realm can't be without me . That's why I can only ask Little Bu Bu for help . "
After a moment, his eyes brightened . "And, of course, Little Bu Bu can take that mangy dog with him . With the mangy dog accompanying him, I'm sure he will be able to take the water from the Spring of Life . "
Lord Dog, who was lying at a corner of the restaurant, yawned before saying, "If Lord Dog goes to the God Vanishing Mountain, you can forget about getting water from the Spring of Life . That crazy woman will destroy the entire place the moment she sees me . That's why I, Lord Dog, will never enter the God Vanishing Mountain, even by half a step . "
Realm Lord Di Tai's body stiffened .
"You mangy dog! You only stole the lingerie of that woman in the God Vanishing Mountain, didn't you? What kind of grudge would exist between you guys?!"
"Shut up . You don't need to know Lord Dog's business! Hmph!" Lord Dog lowered his head and began to snore .
Realm Lord Di Tai's mouth twitched .
"The Immortal Tree seedlings are all in deep sleep . Only the water from the Spring of Life can wake them up, but I can't leave the Immortal Cooking Realm now .
"Now, the Sacred Realm experts from Nether Prison can't enter the Immortal Cooking Realm because of the seal . However, as the Immortal Cooking Realm's declines, the seal will be unable to hold them back . At that time, the Nether Prison will attack the Immortal Cooking Realm, and the entire realm will eventually be destroyed . Once the Immortal Tree's spirit is conquered, we will have no hope left .
"That's why I must stay and protect the Immortal Cooking Realm, in case those dogs and cats try to attack…"
Realm Lord Di Tai was sincere and told only the truth .
Unless the Immortal Tree seedlings recovered and sprouted, the Immortal Cooking Realm had to endure this danger .
Realm Lord Di Tai had no choice but to ask Bu Fang for help . The others couldn't do it, including City Lord Meng Qi and City Lord Zou .
Bu Fang furrowed his brows . "You believe that I can take the water from the Spring of Life?"
"Of course, I believe in you, Little Bu Bu . It's no different from using a dead horse!" Realm Lord Di Tai replied with confidence .
Bu Fang seemed speechless .
The restaurant was quiet .
Nethery remained silent . She had said all she should . The God Vanishing Mountain was a very dangerous place, a forbidden land in Earth Prison .
If Bu Fang wanted to go, she wouldn't stop him .
Bu Fang rubbed his chin . Honestly, he didn't want to go .
But he couldn't just stand by and watch the Immortal Cooking Realm collapse . Besides, collecting the water from the Spring of Life would benefit him as well .
He, too, had an Immortal Tree seedling in his farmland, and Niu Han San couldn't wake it up . That was why he might also need to use the water from the Spring of Life on it .
As Bu Fang mulled over it, the system's solemn voice suddenly echoed in his mind .
"Current task: You have been invited to go to the God Vanishing Mountain in Earth Prison and collect water from the Spring of Life to revive the Immortal Tree seedlings . Task rewards: A fragment of God of Cooking Set; a seedling of Nine Revolution Great Path Tea . "
Bu Fang's eyes shrank, and he immediately took a deep breath . He couldn't believe that the system would speak up at this time .
Anyway, it was not the task that got his attention but the rewards .
A fragment of the God of Cooking Set? He hadn't gathered all the pieces of the God of Cooking Set yet?
Bu Fang was a little bewildered .
He had thought that the White Tiger Heaven Stove was the last piece of the God of Cooking Set . Now, however, it seemed he had been wrong .
This revelation cheered Bu Fang up immensely .
The God of Cooking Set was important to him, so with this sort of reward, he had no complaints .
Moreover, there was another item in the reward list, the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea .
It sounded really awesome .
Rubbing his chin, Bu Fang was lost in thought .
Realm Lord Di Tai looked at Bu Fang expectantly . He had placed all his hope in him .
Suddenly, Bu Fang raised his head and looked at Realm Lord Di Tai . This caused the Realm Lord to shiver, and his breath came in short bursts .
"I agree… to go to Earth Prison's God Vanishing Mountain to find the Spring of Life . "
Bu Fang's eyes glowed as he looked at Realm Lord Di Tai .
"But I have a condition!"
