Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 593: Can’t Swallow
He had spent quite some time inside the Library Pavilion.
Since he was there, he skimmed through the rest of the ancient books in the other categories, but in the end Shen Feng didn't learn much useful information.
He walked out of the Library Pavilion.
Xue Wanyue was standing at the doorway, having not left, and upon seeing Shen Feng, she said with a clear, cold voice, "Are you finished?"
Without waiting for Shen Feng to reply, she continued, "Come with me! The temperament assessment has completely ended. The Sect Master has already sent a sound transmission, asking me to take you to the Hundred Flower Sect's Guest Reception Hall."

The Hundred Flower Sect usually received guests from other sects in the Guest Reception Hall.
Of course, if the Hundred Flower Sect itself had banquets and such events, they would also be held in the Guest Reception Hall.
The Library Pavilion wasn't far from the Guest Reception Hall.
Xue Wanyue originally wanted to test Shen Feng's speed again.
However, it seemed that Jiang Zhuyu, having seen that Shen Feng was taking his time, had sent a female Inner Sect disciple to urge him on.
With the female Inner Sect disciple present, Xue Wanyue found it inappropriate to test him further and could only proceed at a normal pace towards the Guest Reception Hall.
It didn't take long.
Shen Feng followed her to the Hundred Flower Sect's Guest Reception Hall.
The entire hall was not glitteringly golden, rather it had a kind of refreshing and elegant style, giving people a sensation as if a breeze was brushing across their faces.
Stepping into the Guest Reception Hall, he found the area to be very large, capable of accommodating several thousand people.
Supreme Elder Gao Huiying and Sect Master Jiang Zhuyu sat at the foremost seats in the middle of the hall.
Apart from the two of them, all of the sect's Great Elders and Core Disciples were also present.
Jiang Zhuyu had had someone call Shen Feng here simply to discuss some matters that he, masquerading as Xue Wanyue's fiancé, needed to be aware of.
After arriving in front of Gao Huiying, Jiang Zhuyu, and others, Shen Feng casually found a seat for himself and sat down.
This action caused the faces of Gao Huiying, Jiang Zhuyu, and the others from the Hundred Flower Sect to look somewhat unpleasant, especially those Elders and Core Disciples. They felt that this beggar-like fellow indeed had an incredibly formidable temperament, but this was also too lacking in manners! He clearly had no regard for them at all.
Shen Feng acted with a casual ease as usual. Everyone from the Hundred Flower Sect was seated—was he expected to stand and talk?
Jiang Zhuyu took a deep breath, feeling that if she spent too much time with this young man, she would definitely be angered to death. She said, "Wanyue, you sit down as well!"
Xue Wanyue chose to sit in the chair next to Shen Feng.
Jiang Zhuyu didn't immediately get straight to the point. Instead, she picked up a Message-transmitting Jade Tablet and used it to send a sound transmission to someone.
Seeing Shen Feng's indifferent expression, Xue Wanyue finally couldn't help but explain softly, "Do you know about Spirit Chefs?"
"The meat of Monster Beasts cooked by a Spirit Chef can enhance a Cultivator's cultivation level. However, it's only sufficient to consume once every two months."
"If eaten too frequently, continuous consumption of Monster Beast meat cooked by a Spirit Chef can instead cause irreversible effects on a Cultivator."
"Having read about the history of the Immortal Realm in recent thousands of years, you should know that Spirit Chefs re-emerged in the Immortal Realm after the Era of Destruction as a rare profession."
"Even though it can only be consumed every two months, the blood and flesh prepared by a Spirit Chef are indeed highly attractive to many Cultivators, especially those who are on the brink of breakthrough yet unable to succeed. After consuming some Monster Beast meat prepared by a Spirit Chef, it can enable them to directly break through their cultivation levels."
"In our current Lower Realm, there are very few Spirit Chefs."
"Although Spirit Chefs are not as valued as Alchemists, they still become figures who are zealously recruited by the Great Sects, particularly those exceptionally powerful Spirit Chefs."
"Within our Hundred Flower Sect, there is a First Grade Spirit Chef!"
"Though a First Grade Spirit Chef is the lowest rank, the highest-ranked Spirit Chef in the entirety of the Lower Realm seems to be only Fourth Grade."
Xue Wanyue noticed Shen Feng appeared uninterested. She paused slightly before continuing, "Only disciples who rank in the top twenty in the annual temperament assessment can come here to enjoy the Monster Beasts meat cooked by a Spirit Chef once every two months."
"Moreover, as a reward, when they come here to consume the Monster Beasts meat every two months, they can present any cultivation problems they encounter to the Sect Master and the various Great Elders."
For Xue Wanyue, each year's temperament assessment had always placed her among the top twenty.
It had just been two months since the last time she consumed Monster Beasts meat.
To have said so much was extremely rare for Xue Wanyue.
Shen Feng had once received the legacy of a Spirit Chef from a significant figure who had reached the pinnacle in the path of spiritual cooking.
The grades of Spirit Chefs were ranked from First Grade to Ninth Grade, with those above Ninth Grade being known as Emperor Chefs!
Since the Spirit Chefs of the Immortal Realm had long been lost to history, Shen Feng had never tested his own Spirit Chef grade. Such an assessment required a highly specialized Testing Stone. However, he roughly estimated that his current grade as a Spirit Chef should be somewhere between Ninth Grade and Emperor Chef.
Whether he was a Ninth Grade Spirit Chef or an Emperor Chef, he could not determine precisely!
Seeing that Shen Feng remained indifferent, Xue Wanyue decided not to speak further, knowing in her heart that once Shen Feng tasted the meat cooked by the Spirit Chef, he would understand everything she had said.
Although Xue Wanyue's voice had been low, Jiang Zhuyu and the others from the Hundred Flower Sect there could almost all hear her.
In the current Immortal Realm, Spirit Chefs held a very exalted status.
After all, consuming the blood and flesh of Monster Beasts cooked by them every two months ensured that the cultivator's body didn't develop any side effects.
However, many Pills concocted by Alchemists often left some impact on the cultivator, more or less.
Therefore, seeing Shen Feng's calm, Jiang Zhuyu and Gao Huiying, along with the others from the Hundred Flower Sect, frowned even more.
Jiang Zhuyu breathed a sigh of relief when she thought of Shen Feng coming from the Desolate Mountain, a place isolated from the world. It was probably that this youth had never heard of the profession of Spirit Chef.
She had used a Jade Token for Sound Transmission earlier to signal that the dishes could be served.
Very soon.
Servant Disciples from the Hundred Flower Sect came in, each carrying a plate.
On each plate was a steaming piece of beef that from afar seemed to contain a surging power, highly suitable for cultivator's absorption.
After these Servant Disciples entered.
An old woman with a full head of white hair, dressed in a light blue robe, also slowly walked in. She was Hu Fangmei, a First Grade Spirit Chef of the Hundred Flower Sect.
Although she was only a First Grade Spirit Chef, among all the First Grade Spirit Chefs in the Lower Realm, she was arguably the strongest, just one step away from stepping into the realm of being a Second Grade Spirit Chef.
If it were not for Jiang Zhuyu's past kindness towards Hu Fangmei, she would never have agreed to become a Guest Elder of the Hundred Flower Sect!
Within the Hundred Flower Sect, even Jiang Zhuyu and Gao Huiying did not dare to put on airs when meeting Hu Fangmei, and the other Elders and Disciples were extremely respectful in her presence.
Even though the Hundred Flower Sect had many fewer disciples compared to other Sects, as a First Grade Spirit Chef, Hu Fangmei could not possibly cook Monster Beasts meat for everyone in the sect, since cooking such meat also expended a considerable amount of the Spirit Chef's energy.
A plate of beef was placed in front of Shen Feng, and he immediately recognized it as meat from a Black-scaled Demon Bull. Picking up a pair of chopsticks next to him, he instantly stabbed them into the piece of Black-scaled Demon Bull meat, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter, and then he couldn't help but shake his head in denial.
Hu Fangmei saw this and questioned the disheveled, raggedly dressed man upon noticing his expression, "When did the Hundred Flower Sect get a man? Do you doubt the quality of the Monster Beasts meat I cooked? If you cannot give a reasonable explanation today, don't blame me for being rude."
Hu Fangmei, as a Guest Elder of the Hundred Flower Sect, was not required to attend the ceremonial rites and naturally was unaware of Shen Feng's arrival.
Seeing the old woman act so rudely and arrogantly, did Shen Feng still need to save face for her?
"Crash!" With a sound,
Shen Feng's palm swept aside.
The plate holding the Black-scaled Demon Bull meat shattered on the ground, the entire piece of Demon Bull meat falling as well. He said indifferently, "It's utterly inedible! Are you trying to harm the disciples of the Hundred Flower Sect?"
