What I teach you is real stuff.

Inside the scenic private room of Hualong Tower, in a small world, several ancestral figures from the Alchemist Alliance had been waiting for a long time. Originally, this meal should have been held to welcome Lu Yuan ten years ago.

As a result, Lu Yuan took a detour in the ascension passage ten years ago, causing these old guys to treat him to meals twice. It should be noted that booking a private room in the Dragon Transformation Tower is no small expense, and even these old guys from the Alchemist Alliance felt the pinch.

However, since the person he was trying to please was Lu Yuan, then this amount of money didn't matter.

After all, this Alliance Leader Lu is a legendary disciple of the Human Sect.

"Alliance Leader Lu, it has been many years since we last met. I never expected that we would meet again in the Immortal Realm."

"Greetings, Senior Lu."

These old guys from the Alchemist Alliance all got up and greeted Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan naturally knew why they were being so polite. Although their motives were not pure, he still had to give them face because these old guys from the upper realm of the Alchemist Alliance had actually done a lot of work for the Northern Continent Alliance over the years.

Without them, Lu Yuan and the Northern Continent Alliance wouldn't have developed so smoothly back in the Azure Sky World.

After all, Lu Yuan wasn't as powerful back then as he is now. If it weren't for the misunderstanding caused by the teacher, and if these old guys hadn't sided with him and given him strong support, he would have been trapped in the lower plane for at least several thousand more years if they had tried to trip him up in the Azure Heaven World.

Although Lu Yuan has a system, given enough time, these old guys still can't stop him. However, things are naturally better if things go more smoothly.

Lu Yuan walked over with a smile.

"Fellow Daoists, you're too kind. We're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for so much formality. Alliance leader and senior are things of the lower realms. Now that I've ascended, I'm no longer an alliance leader in this Immortal Realm."

From now on, you may simply call me Lu Yuan.

These old guys, any one of them is much older than him, yet they keep calling him "Alliance Leader" and "Senior," which makes Lu Yuan feel a little uncomfortable.

Let's address each other by our names.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Alchemist Alliance also showed signs of panic: "Alliance Leader Lu, no, no! Now that we have joined the Northern Continent Alliance, we are disciples of the Northern Continent Alliance no matter which plane we are in. Alliance Leader, you don't need to be so reserved."

"Yes, although you have come to the Immortal Realm, our status remains unchanged."

These old guys from the Alchemist Alliance are all incredibly shrewd, eager to build a relationship with Lu Yuan, afraid of becoming estranged from him. It's clear they want Lu Yuan to help them take off.

In fact, the old guys from the Alchemist Alliance had been waiting for Lu Yuan to come up in the Immortal Realm for a long time, just waiting to latch onto his coattails.

Ten years ago, when they heard that Alliance Leader Lu had broken through the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Upper Realm, these old guys were excited for a long time.

But they were made to wait for ten years, and those ten years were even more agonizing than the time Lu Yuan and the other two spent in the outer world.

These alchemist alliance elders have now adopted a very humble attitude, which is also a sign of their commitment.

Lu Yuan knew what they were thinking and didn't want to get entangled with them on this matter, so he nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, sit down and talk."

Everyone took their seats, and each person had their own place.

After sitting down, Lu Yuan looked at the table.

He saw that his table was now laden with delicacies, and everyone else's table was the same.

One serving per person, very luxurious.

Xiao Huang said, "These delicacies are from Hualonglou? They look delicious, they must be very tasty."

An elder of the Alchemist Alliance said, "Vice Alliance Leader Huang is right. Behind the Dragon Transformation Tower is the royal family of the Jade Heaven Kingdom, and behind the Jade Heaven Kingdom's royal family is the Heavenly Court."

This Hualong Tower is a property under the Heavenly Court. Do you know where the chefs who cook there come from? They are all trained in the Heavenly Court's Imperial Kitchen.

Xiao Huang was amazed.

He already knew that the Dragon Transformation Tower was run by the Heavenly Court before he came in, but he didn't expect that there were hidden secrets inside, and that the chefs who cooked here actually came from the Heavenly Court's Imperial Kitchen.

Do you know what the Imperial Kitchen is? Just like the mortal world in the lower realms, the Imperial Kitchen is where the Jade Emperor cooks and prepares meals. Those trained there are always top-notch.

Jiang Ming asked, "Does the Heavenly Court still have restaurants?"

Jiang Ming had always believed that such a top power in the immortal realm would not get involved in such ordinary business. He never expected that the Heavenly Court would also operate restaurants, and that the Jade Emperor's Imperial Kitchen would specially train chefs to do business.

It was quite different from the majestic and supreme Heavenly Court he had imagined.

King Golden Horn said, "Even the greatest power needs to eat. This principle remains unchanged. You should have seen it when you ascended. The Heavenly Court has been recruiting scattered immortals to join the Heavenly Court as heavenly soldiers and generals at the Immortal Guiding Platform."

Within the Heavenly Court reside approximately one million celestial soldiers, along with countless immortal generals and myriad saints. These people all need to eat; it's not surprising that the Heavenly Court engages in business. Moreover, the prices at the Dragon Transformation Pavilion are exceptionally high; those who can afford to dine here are no ordinary deities.

King Jinjiao told Jiang Ming that it wasn't just the Heavenly Court that was doing business.

The three religions, the West, and many other powerful forces all do business, but they only deal in high-end products.

Even the legendary Tushita Palace of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) has a pharmacy in the celestial realm that sells medicine, including the Supreme Golden Elixir. However, whether one can afford it is another matter entirely.

Jiang Ming and Xiao Huang were speechless, not expecting the Immortal Realm to be so much more enlightened than they had imagined.

They thought these powerful forces were detached from worldly affairs.

King Jinjiao continued, "The seniors have spent a lot of money on this welcoming banquet today. Please don't be shy, and try the delicacies of Hualong Tower."

After the Golden Horn King finished speaking, the patriarch from the Alchemist Alliance raised his cup, which contained azure immortal wine.

Lu Yuan took a sip and felt refreshed. The immortal wine contained terrifying energy and was definitely not an ordinary product.

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming were even more shocked. They had not eaten since they abstained from grains in the Azure Heaven World, and now they had not eaten or drunk anything for tens of thousands of years.

I initially thought of these foods and drinks as just for entertainment, but after taking a sip, I found that not only did they taste good, but they also contained a great deal of energy.

A cup of immortal wine contained terrifying immortal energy. They had just ascended from a lower plane and hadn't had time to find a quiet place to consolidate their cultivation and convert their immortal energy before coming here to eat.

Now, after drinking a cup of immortal wine, they almost broke through to the next level on the spot.

Jiang Ming's expression changed.

"The energy within this celestial wine is terrifying."

Xiao Huang also exclaimed, "No wonder it's something from the celestial realm!"

Lu Yuan nodded as well.

The energy within this celestial wine had just taken him by surprise.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance said, "This immortal wine is very expensive, and we usually can't bear to drink it. We only took it out to try when Alliance Leader Lu came up."

Even ordinary Xuanxian and Jinxian immortals wouldn't dare to drink this.

The alchemist alliance's patriarch was there to flatter them, and they knew that flattery and favors had to be done openly. If they wanted people to know they had put in the effort and spent a lot of money to entertain them, they couldn't hide it; they had to make it clear.

So these old masters of the Alchemist Alliance began to give a long and detailed introduction.

In fact, their welcome banquet cost a lot of money. The private room alone was incredibly expensive, and even a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) might not be able to afford it.

They said, "Try the delicacies in front of you, they are all good stuff, can you guess what they are made of?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan picked up a piece of food from in front of him and put it in his mouth.

After tasting them, they were indeed soft, smooth, and incredibly delicious. Combined with the culinary skills of a celestial chef, these dishes were all highly praised.

Not only is the food delicious, but the energy it contains is also incredibly powerful, no less than the immortal wine we just tasted.

Jiang Ming and Xiao Huang also tried it and were amazed.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance asked them if they knew what this was.

Lu Yuan said, "It should be dragon meat, right?"

Jiang Ming and Xiao Huang were shocked.

Dragon meat?

It should be known that in the Azure Sky World, the dragon race has long been extinct. Even some descendants of the dragon race are called divine beasts. The top powers in the lower planes are proud to have a strange beast with some dragon blood as a mount.

In this celestial realm, dragon meat is served as a dish? Is that for real?
The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance nodded and said, "Alliance Leader Lu is indeed knowledgeable and experienced. He recognized it at a glance. However, this is indeed dragon meat."

They were also pleased with themselves.

Dragon meat is one of the most premium dishes at Hualonglou, and most people can't afford to serve it when entertaining guests. They only ordered a small portion to try, but it was already something to brag about.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but ask, "Is dragon meat used for cooking in the Immortal Realm? Aren't the True Dragon Clan very powerful?"

Xiao Huang couldn't help but feel alarmed.

These immortals in the celestial realm actually eat dragon meat? That's a bit terrifying.

Jiang Ming said, "This should not be the meat of a real dragon. It should only be the meat of some mixed dragons that have been stained with dragon blood, or even the meat of artificially bred dragon beasts, which are specifically for consumption."

He had long heard that the Jade Emperor and the immortals in Heaven often ate dragon liver and phoenix gall, and that these foods were highly sought after by the immortals and considered to be the most exquisite foods.

The reason Lu Yuan was able to recognize it as dragon meat at a glance was because he had cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Technique and possessed dragon blood. When he ate it, he sensed a trace of dragon blood in it, which is why he was able to recognize it immediately.

However, he could also sense that the dragon bloodline contained in this piece of dragon meat in the dish in front of him was very thin. It was not a proper dragon, and it was only slightly related to the dragon race.

Hearing what the teacher said, Jiang Ming and Xiao Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the immortals in the celestial realm really do eat true dragons, that would be terrifying.

That makes it a little better.

However, it is still very frightening, after all, it is a mythical beast with dragon blood.

This kind of strange beast could also cultivate to the Great Ascension stage even in the Azure Heaven World; its potential is limitless.

In a lower plane, this would have been a sacred offering; I never imagined it would be food here.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance said, "Alliance Leader Lu is right. These are indeed specially bred meat dragons and meat phoenixes for eating. However, although they are specially bred food, they still contain a considerable amount of dragon and phoenix bloodline."

Even ordinary immortals couldn't afford this dish; it's one of the must-eat dishes in the immortal realm.

"Although we are eating the flesh of dragons and phoenixes, I have heard that the Jade Emperor eats real dragons and phoenixes at his table, with dragon livers and phoenix gallbladders, and everything else."

The Supreme Elder of the Alchemist Alliance dropped another bombshell, a revelation that shocked Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming.

They had just breathed a sigh of relief for the dragon race when they were shocked to hear the patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance say that the Jade Emperor had eaten a real dragon.

As expected, supreme beings in the immortal realm can do whatever they want.

What they consider an incomparably powerful dragon is nothing more than food to others.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but ask, "Do the people of the Immortal Realm raise and eat dragons, using dragons and phoenixes as food, and raising their offspring? Don't the dragon and phoenix clans have any objections?"

Although dragons and phoenixes have long since disappeared in the Azure Heaven World, they are abundant in the Immortal Realm.

Moreover, the Dragon and Phoenix clans are now powerful clans in the Immortal Realm. The Heavenly Court feeds on Dragons and Phoenixes and specifically cultivates and breeds this food. Don't the Dragon and Phoenix clans have any objections?
The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance smiled and said, "Of course we have opinions. After all, who would feel comfortable in this situation?"

However, in the Immortal Realm, might makes right. The strength of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan is no longer what it used to be. If it were the Dragon and Phoenix Clan of the past, naturally no one would have any designs on them, nor would they dare to do so.

But the Heavenly Court isn't afraid of them now; even the Dragon and Phoenix clans have to keep a low profile in the Immortal Realm.

Several alchemist alliance elders ate a piece of dragon meat, and the meal vividly illustrated the law of the jungle in the immortal realm.

In the immortal realm, the law of the jungle is even more common.

Immortals are more powerful and can do whatever they want, leading to far more conflicts in the immortal realm than in lower realms.

If they are not strong enough, they will eventually suffer the same fate as the Dragon and Phoenix clans.

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming were also stunned; it was too cruel.

They quickly picked up a piece of dragon meat with their chopsticks and ate it to calm their nerves.

The group tasted the dragon liver and phoenix gall. Although the heavenly immortals' methods were too horrifying, they had to admit that the dragon liver and phoenix gall were indeed very delicious.

No wonder countless immortals pursue this, risking offending the dragon and phoenix clans to raise meat dragons and phoenixes for consumption; there's a reason for it.

Today, I've finally tasted dragon meat from heaven.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance sighed and said, "These dragon and phoenix meats are good, but they only simulate one percent of the taste of real dragon and phoenix flesh and blood."

"Our cultivation is too low; we can only enjoy low-grade dragon meat. I've heard that the true taste of dragon liver and phoenix gall is a thousand times better than this, and only the Jade Emperor and top immortals have the fortune to taste it."

Even the patriarch of the Alchemist Alliance sighed.

Although these dragon livers and phoenix galls are exotic beasts raised by the Heavenly Court specifically for consumption, their prices are terrifying, and they cannot afford to eat them often; only important guests can enjoy them once in a while.

They had heard that the flesh and blood of true dragons and phoenixes tasted even more delicious, but unfortunately they didn't know if they would ever have the chance to taste it in their lifetime.

Lu Yuan naturally understood the other meanings contained in their words.

Lu Yuan then said, "Fellow cultivators, cultivate diligently. Such an opportunity may arise in the future. Where there's a will, there's a way." (End of Chapter)
