Chapter 885: The Eight Immortals

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Eight immortals stood outside the storefront and hesitated momentarily before walking into the restaurant.

Among them were seven men and one woman, with a handsome, graceful man standing at the forefront of the group.

An Lin’s eyes lit up once again. This was a close acquaintance of his!

“Long time no see, An Lin.” A smile as gentle as a spring breeze appeared on the man’s face.

An Lin immediately stood up before bowing. “Long time no see, Senior Lü Dongbin!”

He then turned to the other seven immortals before extending another salute. “Junior An Lin pays his respects to the eight immortal seniors!”

That’s right, all the immortals gathered here were extremely renowned immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi, Iron Cane Li, Lü Dongbin, Celestial Maiden He, Lan Caihe, Cao Guojiu were all immortals that An Lin had heard about for a long time!

There were references made about all of them in the stories and films of the mortal world, as well as the textbooks of the university. These eight people were all very interesting immortals.

“Why are you being so rigid and formal, An Lin?” Celestial Maiden He wore an enticing smile as she made her way toward An Lin. “I heard you’ve been awarded the title of the second Chef God of the Heavenly Court by the Celestial Thearch. We’re all good friends with one another, and we’re here to visit and see what all the fuss is about!”

An Lin had once saved Celestial Maiden He’s life in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, so Celestial Maiden He was quite warm and affectionate toward him.

“Then you’ve all come at the right time.” An Lin chuckled. “I don’t mean to brag, but this is going to be the most delicious food you’ve eaten in your entire lives! Also, you’ve come here when the prices are at their lowest. I’m going to be increasing the prices after a while, so you’ve definitely all lucked out!”

“Gasp…”

All eight immortals instantly drew a collective sharp intake of breath.

Even Lü Dongbin’s lips were twitching involuntarily.

Was he really that confident? He was essentially promising them the best meal of their lives!

And ten thousand spirit stones per dish was already a f*cking astronomical price! He was still going to raise the prices?

They were here as patrons to his new business, but THEY were the ones who had lucked out?!

Celestial Maiden He had been worrying for nothing. Judging from An Lin’s display of absolute confidence, it looked like they didn’t even need to pay patronage to his restaurant!

In any case, they were already here, so they were going to enjoy a meal here anyway.

They had enough financial ability for one trial meal at the very least. Furthermore, this restaurant had received the backing of the Celestial Thearch, so the food here wouldn’t be too bad.

“An Lin, what dishes are you able to make here?” The premier foodie among the eight immortals, Iron Cane Li, couldn’t help but ask.

“Here you go, Senior, this is our menu from which you can choose any dish.” An Lin handed a golden menu to Iron Cane Li.

Iron Li took a look, and his eyes widened in astonishment. There were over a hundred dishes on the menu, and all of them had scary names.

There were all sorts of dishes like Moon Eating Heavenly Dog, Sun Eating Heavenly Dog, Chang’e Pursuing The Moon, Hou Yi Shooting The Sun…

The eight immortals were initially amazed by all these names before they slowly came to a realization as their expressions darkened.

Lü Dongbin inquired with a perplexed expression, “Why are the names of all these dishes have the words sun and moon?”

What did An Lin have against the sun and the moon!

“Haha… These names are hilarious…” Celestial Maiden He’s lithe and graceful body trembled with mirth.

Zhang Guolao asked in a more mature manner, “Is there some special meaning behind your naming convention, An Lin?”

An Lin clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head with a profound look on his face. “I named these dishes so as I am an unmatched legend who grasps the sun and moon in my hands while I pluck the stars from the sky.”

All eight immortals shuddered upon hearing this as they all drew another collective sharp intake of breath!

What the f*ck?! Did this guy have a flexing addiction?

“Hehe, what a great, thoughtful name.” Celestial Maiden He faltered momentarily before praising him again.

An Lin nodded internally with approval. It looked like this Celestial Maiden was worth saving after all. She sure knew how to give timely praise!

The other seven immortals repressed their urges to flip the tables and leave as they scanned through the menu to see which dish they would like.

“Let’s go with this one, the Solar and Lunar Eclipse! It has both the sun and the moon in its name, so it should be quite delicious. ”

“Ptui! Cao Guojiu, what kind of stupid logic is that? You must have been misled by An Lin’s naming conventions! I think we should go with the Sunlight Chicken, I like chicken!”

The flower lover Lan Caihe protested, “No, Han Zhongli, let’s pick the Flowers Under The Moon, I like flowers.”

“No no no, that dish clearly sounds like a vegetable dish…”

Thus, a heated discussion ensued between the eight immortals.

In the end, they couldn’t come to a decision, even after an extended period of intense debate. They had to resort to drawing lots to decide who would have the final say on the matter!

This appeared to be quite a rehearsed procedure for them, suggesting that this was not the first time they had been forced to resort to this.

In the end, Celestial Maiden He was tasked with making the final decision.

She turned to An Lin with an enticing smile. “An Lin, do you have any suggestions? For example… Are there any signatures dishes?”

A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “All my dishes are at the pinnacle of culinary excellence! You will be jumping for joy regardless of which dish you choose!”

Celestial Maiden He: “…”

“Gasp…”

All eight immortals shuddered upon hearing this.

Holy f*ck! Was there no one that could control this guy?!

This little bastard was flexing his a*s off!!

In the end, Celestial Maiden He had no choice but to make the choice on her own. She chose a dish with a strange name—Ecliptic Sun of Fortune.

This was a peculiar name for a dish, and she chose it intentionally just to see what kind of surprise Chef God An Lin could serve up for them!

They were then treated to the sight of An Lin walking into the kitchen with a tranquil expression, following which the sounds of cooking erupted.

“How long do you think An Lin will take to cook this dish?” Han Xiangzi sat down on a chair before turning to Zhang Guolao.

Zhang Guolao analyzed as he wobbled his head from side to side, “It’s quite difficult to say, but the more exquisite a dish is, the more energy and time it takes to prepare. It’s said that Chef God Hu Jiahao requires half a day just to cook some of his simpler dishes and half a month to cook dishes from his signature range.”

“An Lin’s dishes are comparable in price to Hu Jiahao’s signature dishes, so he would probably take quite a few hours at the very least to produce a dish.”

Lü Dongbin nodded in agreement. “This also explains why An Lin can only cook one dish in a day. After all, it would be too energy-consuming and time-consuming to cook more than that; there wouldn’t even be enough time for him to prepare two in a day!”

He internally praised himself for his quick-wittedness as he analyzed.

And then, An Lin came out in an hour.

An Lin reemerged from the kitchen with a smile on his face. “The food is ready!”

Lü Dongbin: “…”

All the other immortals: “…”

“This… This quick?” Zhang Guolao’s eyes widened, and the hand that was stroking his snowy white beard almost ripped the entire beard off.

“An Lin’s efficiency sure is astounding,” Celestial Maiden He exclaimed in amazement.

“How can this be any good? I feel like his cooking is even faster than mine.” Lan Caihe pursed his lips in skepticism.

An Lin maintained a smile despite this. “You’ll know whether it tastes good once you eat it.”

He slowly took the lid off the dish as he spoke.

The eight immortals were then treated to a show, which would remain etched in their minds until the end of their days…
