Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 443 - 445 The Legendary Kitchenware [4/5]

Following Wu Tian’s instructions, Yuan Beizheng placed the iron ore on the ground in the courtyard. Still puzzled, he couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Wu Tian, what are you planning to do with this iron ore?"

Could it be that Wu Tian is also planning to construct a Pill Furnace and start Alchemy? With this thought, Yuan Beizheng immediately said, "I have some Pill Furnace designs. Would you like me to give them to you?"

Wu Tian shook his head, indicating that he wasn’t planning on doing alchemy or anything of the sort, which only confused Yuan Beizheng further.

Wu Tian, meanwhile, looked at the iron ore before him. This ore was indeed extraordinary and not something that should exist on Earth.

Yuan Beizheng explained, "This stone was obtained by my ancestor Yuan Tiangang and Master Li Chunfeng with great difficulty. Legend has it that in 221 B.C., a meteorite fell in Dongjun. Upon reaching the ground, it became stone."

"Oh!" Wu Tian had heard of this stone before. The story referred to a meteorite that fell in Dongjun during the Great Qin Dynasty, in 221 B.C. So this iron ore came from that meteorite?

Wu Tian smiled. "In that case, this is truly a treasure. Mr. Yuan, you have always hoped that I could change this Underground World, and I assure you, it will be done within six months!"

Yuan Beizheng, and the generations that followed Yuan Tiangang, had always hoped that the Immortal Seekers would no longer live in such a corrupt and murky world. They had spent their entire lives trying, but were ultimately helpless. Now, looking at Wu Tian’s earnest expression, Yuan Beizheng still said, "I never expected Mr. Wu Tian to be a jokester!"

Change the situation of the Immortal Seekers? How could six months possibly be enough? Yuan Beizheng figured it would take hundreds of years. The forces of the Immortal Seekers in the Underground World were a complex and interwoven web, no less complicated than the situation above ground during the eras of the Three Kingdoms or the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. How could the rot be purged without the effort of several centuries?

Wu Tian simply smiled, offering no further explanation. What could he say? He had dealt with far more severe situations. To him, the matters of the Underground World were trivial. Would a person who has witnessed the vastness of the ocean think a river is grand?

Yuan Beizheng excused himself, saying he was going to urge Tao Qianyang to gather the medicinal herbs and peach blossoms. At the same time, Wu Tian ordered Little Kirin and Little Phoenix to guard the surroundings; no one was allowed to enter without his permission. Little Phoenix and Little Kirin nodded their heads and agreed. They both wanted to be on their best behavior and impress Wu Tian’s Dad.

At this moment, Wu Tian finally turned his attention to the iron ore. A slight smile touched his lips as he extended a hand and pointed a finger. Spiritual Power circulated, and the heavy ore suddenly seemed weightless, floating up from the ground.

Next, Wu Tian called Little Kirin over and said, "Breathe fire!"

Little Kirin obediently opened its mouth and sprayed out the Kingly Fire, enveloping the iron ore. Wu Tian’s Spiritual Power wrapped around it, tempering the ore within the flames.

Time passed, second by second. Under the Kingly Fire, the Innate Divine Ability of the Qilin Clan, the iron ore completely melted and merged, discarding its dross. Instantly, the massive ore shrank into a basin-sized pool of liquid.

Wu Tian nodded in satisfaction. A thought occurred to him, and he began to form hand seals, striking different Spirit Seals into the molten liquid. He had once sealed the "World’s Number One Defensive Move" inside Qiao’er, who was currently sleeping in his room, looking for all the world like an ordinary sword sheath. But now, the techniques Wu Tian was sealing into the molten iron were different. These techniques, of course, could not compare to one bearing the title of the world’s greatest, but they were nonetheless extraordinary.

Wu Tian was crafting several different kitchen utensils. First, a kitchen knife. It had to be exceptionally sharp, and Wu Tian bestowed upon it the ability to restore ingredients to their freshest state. Second, a pot, majestic in form. Wu Tian granted it the power to create, in an instant, sauces that would normally take dozens of days to brew or soups that needed hours to simmer. Third, an iron wok with a lively appearance. Wu Tian gifted it the ability to instantly slice or dice any ingredients placed within. And then there was...

After finalizing his plans, Wu Tian commanded in a deep voice, "Congeal!"

Immediately, the liquid began to roil and churn until, with a HUM, it obeyed his will and swiftly took shape. A knife, a pair of chopsticks, a soup spoon, a wok, and more were formed, each radiating its own unique glow. Wu Tian intended to make them famous throughout the world.

In the future, even after he left Earth, these kitchen utensils would become legends, coveted by all. They, along with the name Wu Tian, would exist eternally in the river of history. This was his plan.

Wu Tian gazed at the kitchen utensils with great satisfaction.

Eventually, Tao Qianyang arrived, but without Wu Tian’s permission, he couldn’t enter. He could only leave the medicinal herbs and peach blossoms outside. After he left, Wu Tian had Little Phoenix bring them in.

Wu Tian pointed his finger once more. The herbs and peach blossoms flew into a pot named Beast God. Upon entering, they were instantly brewed into a sauce. Wu Tian was very pleased.

Suddenly, Tao Qianyang’s voice rang out from outside the manor. "Mr. Wu Tian! Mr. Wu Tian!" His voice was fraught with urgency, as if he had a pressing matter to discuss.

But the Phoenix wouldn’t let him in, so Tao Qianyang could only shout. Earlier, some villagers had found him to say that the Second Elder wanted to leave and intended to take Wu Tian and the others with him! Tao Qianyang had no choice but to come and inform Wu Tian.

Tao Qianyang had some cultivation, but he found himself trembling under the gaze of that "parrot." Some people might go their whole lives without ever trying to high jump and thus never discover their fear of heights. But Tao Qianyang never thought he would have a ’phobia of parrots,’ would he?

When Wu Tian stepped out of the courtyard, Tao Qianyang, who had been as agitated as an ant on a hot pan, was stunned for a moment before exclaiming joyfully, "That’s great, that’s great! You’re finally out."

"Village Chief, is something wrong?" Wu Tian asked with a slight smile.

It seemed that no matter what problem was brought to Wu Tian, he always maintained a calm and unruffled demeanor. Tao Qianyang greatly admired this. Others could try to feign such composure, but they could never completely hide the unnatural strain in their expressions.

Suddenly, Tao Qianyang’s gaze swept past the open courtyard gate. He saw that while the baskets and containers were still there, the medicinal herbs and peach blossoms inside were gone. Strange, where are those medicinal herbs and peach blossoms?

Wu Tian smiled. "You’ll understand in due time."

Seeing this, Tao Qianyang didn’t press the issue. Wu Tian’s words and actions were always mysterious, so despite his curiosity, he held his tongue.

"Mr. Wu Tian, I came this time to tell you—"

Just as Tao Qianyang began to speak, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached. It was Yuan Beizheng. He too had learned that the Second Elder wanted to take Wu Tian and the little one away immediately, and he had rushed over to discuss the matter.

"Mr. Wu Tian, I don’t know why this is happening. Usually, a few days after the Spirit Root test, the selected individuals go to the Sect by themselves. But this time, the Second Elder insists on taking you personally. I’m not sure if it’s because you are considered very important, or if there’s another motive." Yuan Beizheng, with his skill in physiognomy, could tell that this Second Elder was far from a kind-hearted man.

Just as Wu Tian was about to respond, Qin Yuhan also hurried over, apparently with news of yet another urgent development.

It was truly one complication after another.
