Chapter 1814: Security checks?

Song Shuhang pressed it onto his chest, and the black chef heart fused into his body.

“How is it? How do you feel?” The boy looked at Song Shuhang curiously while holding his teacup.

Song Shuhang raised his arms, twisted his neck left and right, and then flailed his legs a bit.

I don’t feel any changes.

He subconsciously thought, Could Senior have given me a fake chef heart?

The boy replied immediately, “Don’t think about such nonsense. The chef heart was personally extracted by me, so there shouldn’t be any problem with it.”

Song Shuhang rubbed his face. The face-reading technique again?

I forgot to control my facial expressions just now. When I meet up with a big shot in the future, I should consider copying the puppet maiden and wearing a mask.

In addition, since this senior said that the chef heart was not a fake, perhaps that meant that it had yet to take effect.

Song Shuhang tried to follow the example of ❮Welcome to the Ballroom[1]❯, and stretched his body.

However, he still didn’t feel anything.

The black chef heart couldn’t have just disappeared, right?

The black-skinned Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, have you tried using inner sight yet?”

Song Shuhang glanced at the black-skinned Soft Feather, and gave her a thumbs-up. Was she really an inner demon? Besides possessing the power of an inner demon, her character and personality were completely different from one.

Song Shuhang closed his eyes, and used his inner sight.

Soon, he found the chef heart that had integrated into his body.

At this time, the chef heart was being inspected carefully—it was being checked by his light of virtue, Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure, three Sage Seals, and the many other forces in his body.

The inspection process carried out by these forces practically formed Song Shuhang’s own ‘immune system’ that supervised all foreign objects that fused into his body.

If there was something wrong with the foreign object, this immune system would naturally deal with it.

No wonder it’s taking so long… So this was why the chef heart hasn’t had any effect yet.

Why am I getting the feeling as if the chef heart is a newbie who has to experience the testing of a group of seniors before being integrated into the group?

Song Shuhang withdrew from his inner sight state, and let out a deep sigh.

The boy asked, “Are you unable to absorb the chef heart?”

Song Shuhang replied, “No, it’s just that the chef heart is currently undergoing security checks.”

The boy said, “Is your body like an airport, where one has to go through security checks before being able to board?”

Song Shuhang laughed. “Senior, isn’t it normal for a man’s body to be like an airport? However, I still have some pectoral muscles, so I’m not actually as flat as an airport.”

“…” The boy.

“I’m sorry, Senior Song.” At this time, the black-skinned Soft Feather raised her hand weakly, and said, “I might be affecting your state. Should I return to your shadow?”

“Hahaha, there’s no need. I feel like I’m in quite a good state right now. I like it,” Song Shuhang said proudly. He still had an opportunity to resurrect, so he felt dauntless.

“Song, fearless!” The virtuous lamia.

“Song~ Dumb~” Fairy Creation.

“…” Lady Onion.

What line should I say so that I can fit in with the group?

Song Shuhang said, “Oh~ Here it is. The chef heart has finally passed all the security checks.”

The black chef heart finally began to unleash its power.

A combination of the understanding and will of the immortal chef who had originally owned it was integrated into Song Shuhang’s body.

Similar to saber cultivators, an immortal chef with a chef heart was not necessarily a top-tier immortal chef, but a top-tier immortal chef would definitely have a chef heart. For top-tier immortal chefs, each and every one of them would even tend to have multiple chef hearts. Immortal Fairy Bie Xue, for example, probably had no shortage of chef hearts.

Saber intent could enhance the strength of a saber cultivator, so, logically speaking, a chef heart should similarly be able to enhance the level of the immortal dishes made by immortal chefs.

Song Shuhang asked, “After integrating the chef heart, can I directly become a chef?”

The boy said, “How could it be so easy? Do you really think that a cultivator who has never practiced the saber would instantly become a master at the saber after acquiring saber intent? He would still have to master the corresponding saber techniques, and it is only by mastering those saber techniques that the effects of the saber intent can be fully displayed. The same is true for the chef heart. After acquiring a chef heart, you will have to learn the corresponding cooking techniques in order to fully display its potential. Otherwise, your chef heart will be a waste, and can only be used to cook ordinary dishes.”

“What a loss,” Song Shuhang said. “If I’d known that, I would have gotten Chu Chu to absorb both chef hearts.”

“There’s no need, Teacher. It’s already good that I got to acquire one chef heart,” Chu Chu said firmly. “As for other chef hearts, I wish to comprehend them myself.”

“Also, don’t underestimate a chef heart. Although it is not saber intent, it is still a form of concept of will. If you are unable to bear it, you will receive a backlash. Don’t blame me for not warning you.” The boy took a sip of tea, and then continued, “If the backlash is serious, you may even be taken over by the will within the chef heart.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior, who is the original owner of this chef heart? Can you reveal that?”

While integrating the chef heart, many beliefs and convictions regarding the production of immortal dishes emerged in his mind. Through this, Song Shuhang discovered that the black chef heart was a demonic kind of chef heart.

Just like Chinese cuisines were divided into Cantonese, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Fujian, and so on, immortal cooking was also divided into many types according to different styles and production methods. Buddhist dishes, daoist dishes, demonic dishes, and scholarly dishes were all a part of immortal cooking.

In this demonic chef heart, there were a lot of comprehensions that were related to ‘saber techniques’, causing it to faintly resonate with Song Shuhang’s saber intent.

“It was a little guy from a long time ago. I don’t remember his name. He was very talented in the path of immortal cooking, and his talent in cultivation was even better.” The boy thought back, and said, “When I took some of his chef hearts, his realm was already at the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm.”

Just as the boy spoke, Song Shuhang felt that his mind was being assaulted.

This was the last step in fusing with the chef heart.

The will of the ‘original owner’ in the chef heart had begun to attack Song Shuhang’s will.

If Song Shuhang was unable to withstand this, he could end up taken over by the will in the chef heart!

“Hahaha~” A crazed laughter sounded in Song Shuhang’s spiritual world.

The virtuous lamia’s tail curled up like a spring before she bounced to Song Shuhang, burrowing into his body.

Fairy Creation jumped up high, and returned to Song Shuhang with a twisting dive.

The black-skinned Soft Feather gracefully stretched out her long legs, and quietly sneaked into Song Shuhang’s shadow.

Lady Onion jumped… But as she did not have any means similar to the previous three, she could only jump to the side, and stay beside the puppet maiden.

Song Shuhang’s spiritual world materialized.

He put his hands behind his back. The virtuous lamia was to his right, while Fairy Creation was to his left, and the inner demon Soft Feather was in his shadow.

Opposite him, the will in the chef heart swelled up in size, and took on a humanoid figure.

“You dare absorb my chef heart?” The will then assumed the figure of a demonic big shot, and glanced at Song Shuhang. “Sixth Stage Realm… Hah, a tiny bug like you would be completely helpless as I pinch you to death. Now, are you ready to be taken over and possessed by me?”
