After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

As it turns out, fishing does have something to do with luck. It wasn't until the afternoon that Grandpa Feng's bucket had a few small sea fish, which looked particularly lonely in the bucket.

On the other hand, Ye Lan and her group had a bucket that was already full. Ye Lan started thinking about how to cook the fish and shrimp. Steaming, grilling, boiling—she could cook them all.

Su Ye glanced at Grandpa Feng's expression and whispered a reminder to them, "Grandpa Feng gets very upset when he can't catch any fish. In that case, don't provoke him."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a scatterbrained saw-toothed shark swam over. It usually foraged in this area, and when it got close to them, it saw the two ships, one large and one small, from the deep sea below, as well as the seahorse sleeping in the water.

This is a saw-toothed shark beast about thirty feet long. Its mouth has a row of sharp teeth as sharp as a saw, hence the name.

The Sawtooth Shark Beast is a bully in the ocean, always wanting to eat anything it sees, including humans. Now, it's set its sights on Grandpa Feng and his companions. Seeing that the Sky-Sea Horse Beast is too close to the large ship to attack, it decides to ambush the humans sitting in the small boat.

Despite its enormous size, this sawtooth shark is incredibly fast. With a flick of its tail, it surged up from the seabed, opening its gaping maw as if to swallow the boat and its crew whole.

Grandpa Feng glanced down and saw that the small boat he was sitting in had turned slightly off course and had not been hit.

Then, the Megalodon, brimming with energy, leaped out of the sea, only to be slapped back into the ocean by Grandpa Feng. The movement was so fast that Ye Lan couldn't even see how he made the move; all she saw was the huge splash.

The people on the other ship were shocked. Was this the strength of a Nascent Soul stage expert? They hadn't even sensed any fluctuations in spiritual energy.

The Megalodon was still not satisfied after being slapped and tried to attack another ship. Grandpa Feng froze the surrounding sea surface. It was too fast and crashed into the ice. It was dizzy, but the ice surface did not budge.

Having grown to such a large size, it wasn't entirely without intelligence. Megalodon knew it had encountered a powerful human it couldn't afford to offend, and slunk away in disgrace.

After the Megalodon left, the sea returned to its original state, with few ripples.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Yue exclaimed softly, "The Nascent Soul stage is amazing! It can actually freeze this entire area of ​​seawater."

Because she was constantly being hunted down by the Medicine Sect, she had a very strong desire to improve her cultivation. Unfortunately, she lacked the talent, and compared to Jiang Ning and the others, her progress was much slower.

Su Ye said dismissively, "Is that impressive? Grandpa Feng has an even more powerful move, Thousand Mile Ice Seal. Before, when some sea beasts tried to besiege Wuya City, Grandpa Feng made a move and they were all tied up in the sea, unable to even get to the beach."

Feng's great-grandfather, named Feng Ming, was the fastest cultivator in Wuya City to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the past few hundred years. He entered the Nascent Soul stage before the age of one hundred and even advanced to the Out-of-Body stage before the age of twenty, which is why he always looked very young.

However, after entering the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator's progress becomes extremely slow. The spiritual energy from food has little effect on them, and taking pills doesn't bring much change; in fact, consuming too many pills can cause pill poisoning. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, Feng Ming has only reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, his cultivation level is among the best in Wuya City. After all, it's not easy to find a Nascent Soul stage expert. Moreover, he's still young and has a good physique, so he won't be at a disadvantage when he encounters someone of the same cultivation level.

Su Bo chimed in, "Yes, since then, the sea beasts haven't dared to harass the people of Wuya City anymore. The defensive array outside was also reinforced with the help of Grandfather Feng."

Su Bo had heard stories about Grandpa Feng when he was a child, which is why the two of them respected Grandpa Feng so much. Grandpa Feng was their idol, and they admired him even more than their own grandfather.

Su Ye spoke with the pride of someone who had personally driven away the sea monster: "When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll be just as powerful."

These two were praising Grandpa Feng, one after the other. They were both water spirit root cultivators, and Su Ye expressed his hope for his future.

The person involved simply couldn't hear the flattery, so Feng Ming used his spiritual power to seal their mouths, and the two chattering people instantly fell silent.

Seeing the two of them gesticulating wildly but unable to make a sound, Ye Lan instantly understood what had happened and continued fishing with her head down.

After a while, his float moved: "It's biting the hook."

Ye Lan held the fishing rod in his hand. There was probably a big fish below. The fish that had taken the bait was pulling on the fishing line and trying to escape. He let the fish swim around for a while, and when the fish was tired, he cast the rod.

This is a very large red snapper, covered in red scales, and it was still jumping around when it was thrown onto the boat.

Everyone on Su Ye's boat gathered around to look at the red snapper, which was the biggest fish they had caught that day.

Even with his mouth sealed, Su Bo didn't quiet down. He kept making "woo woo woo" sounds as if he wanted to speak. After realizing that he could still speak with his divine sense, he shouted, "This fish is so big!" After shouting that, he fell completely silent.

Well, even their divine senses have been sealed by Great-Grandpa Feng.

A day passed in this way. When the sun was about to set, Grandpa Feng finally thought about going back. He stood directly on the sea. For someone with his level of cultivation and water spirit root, the water was like flat ground. He put his small boat into his spatial storage and boarded Su Ye and the others' boat.

After he boarded the ship, Jiang Ning and the others greeted him and introduced themselves.

Grandpa Feng waved his hand and went to look at the fish they had caught. The bucket with the most fish contained both fish and shrimp. Because of the squid that had expelled ink, the water in the bucket was very murky. The red snapper was placed in another bucket, with the fish alone inside.

Grandpa Feng commented, "Of all these fish, the red snapper tastes the best. It's delicious steamed."

Ye Lan chimed in, but didn't entirely agree: "This soft-tailed squid is also delicious. It tastes good when grilled with chopped shrimp."

Grandpa Feng seemed to have heard something novel about cooking: "Oh? There's such a way to cook it?"

Ye Lan nodded and replied, "Yes, I can make it myself."

"Alright, then come back with me and let me try this fresh way of cooking giant squid. Also, tell me what you want to see this old man about."

After Grandpa Feng finished speaking, he lifted the silencing order on Su Ye and Su Bo, and let the Heavenly Sea Horse Beast take them back to the Feng family.

The Feng family's castle is located near the sea and is smaller than the Su family's castle, consisting of only a fortress. However, like the Su family's castle, the roads here are paved with low-grade spirit stones.

The area around the fortress is planted with lotus flowers, white and pink mixed together, all still in full bloom, emitting a sweet lotus fragrance, with some buds still waiting to open.

As they approached the lotus flowers, Ye Lan saw several sea fish hiding under the lotus leaves. When they came closer, the sea fish swam away.

Unlike the atmosphere at the Su family's castle, the Feng family's castle had almost no servants and seemed particularly deserted. Only after entering the fortress did someone come forward to greet them and take their fish buckets.

The newcomer was Feng Ming's disciple. This disciple was an orphan who was picked up by Feng Ming a hundred years ago, took his surname, and was named Feng Ze. He is currently at the Nascent Soul stage.

Grandpa Feng said to Feng Ze, "Take these fish and put them in the kitchen. After we've rested, let that kid cook them. You can just wait to eat tonight."

He pointed at Ye Lan as he spoke.

Feng Ze nodded softly and carried the fish bucket to the kitchen.

Just as they sat down, another person entered—a beautiful young woman with a great figure.

"Great-grandfather, you're back."

This woman, with a soft voice, was dressed in pink and wore a pearl hairpin, which made her look very gentle.

"Ah."

Grandpa Feng nodded in agreement, and then introduced her to Jiang Ning and the others: "Let me introduce you, this is my great-granddaughter, Feng Yanyi."

After speaking, he pointed to Su Bo and Su Ye, then to his great-granddaughter: "You know these two, so I won't introduce them. These others are from the Southern Continent, around your age. Just consider them friends. This is Ye Lan..."

Grandpa Feng paused for a moment. He only remembered the one who caught the red snapper, not the other three.

"My name is Jiang Ning."

"My name is Jiang Nan."

"My name is Nangong Yue."

The others gave their names.

"Hello."

Feng Yanyi greeted them, but her gaze fell on Ye Lan. It was windy in Beizhou, and everyone there had a rather sturdy and rugged appearance. She rarely saw a man with such delicate features as Ye Lan in Beizhou, so she glanced at him a few more times.

Feng Ming glanced at the group of young people and asked, "Speak, what do you want to ask this old man?"

Ye Lan stood up, bowed to Feng Ming, and said, "It is I who wish to inquire about news from Iceland."

Feng Yanyi was helping to make tea for everyone when she heard this and glanced at Ye Lan again.

Feng Ming also raised his eyes to look at him: "Iceland? You're trying to find the Immortal Herb?"

Ye Lan was shocked. Elder Feng actually knew about the Extreme Immortal Grass. He replied directly, "Yes, I have heard that there is a trace of the Extreme Immortal Grass in this extremely cold place."

I heard about the Immortal Herb when I was very young, but that was almost three hundred years ago.

Feng Ming's thoughts seemed to drift back to a distant past. He stroked his non-existent beard and said, "There was a rumor that the Immortal Herb had appeared in Iceland. This Immortal Herb has long, thin leaves with a transparent surface like ice crystals. It grows in the snow and is difficult to find. No one has been heard of finding it for hundreds of years. What are you looking for it for?"

Feng Ming is over three hundred years old this year. He had thought about finding spiritual herbs that could be called "immortal" before. The year he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he went to Iceland, but he didn't find the ultimate immortal herb.

Ye Lan carefully considered his words before saying, "I have been entrusted by a friend to find this supreme immortal herb."

Seeing that he didn't want to tell the truth, Feng Ming stopped pressing him and said directly, "That Iceland is not so easy to go to. The temperature there can freeze people to death if it is slightly different. There is also a level 10 demon beast living on the island. With your cultivation level, going there would be suicide."

Ye Lan felt very conflicted after hearing this. He knew Iceland was dangerous, but he didn't expect Feng Ming to say it so directly. He didn't even know how to respond.

Seeing his face turn dejected, Feng Ming continued, "It's not impossible to go. There's a crazy guy in Beigong City who's willing to risk his life for money, named Sang Yu. He's now at the Nascent Soul stage. You could ask him for help and have him take you there. Maybe he'll be willing to go."

Hearing this, Ye Lan felt a little more at ease. If it could be solved with money, that would be easier to talk about. As long as there was even the slightest hope, he would have to give it a try.

So Ye Lan continued to ask him, "Elder Feng, do you know how many spirit stones it would cost to ask this person to come forward each time?"

Ye Lanzhen planned to spend the spirit stones to invite Sang Yu to go with him after he had earned enough. He didn't want to die for nothing, since he had been given a second chance at life.

Feng Ming took a sip of tea and said, "Sang Yu charges according to the level of danger. For a danger level like going to Iceland to save your lives, it would probably cost 30,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Thirty thousand high-grade spirit stones—it would take Ye Lan a long time to earn that much. It seems he'll have to find a way. He wonders how difficult it is to find rare spirit herbs in the Northern Continent.

But that's a matter for later. Now that Ye Lan has received the news, he directly thanks Feng Ming: "This junior thanks Elder Feng."

"What are you thanking me for? It's all just useless information. You could teach this old man how to make this giant squid even tastier."

Ye Lan agreed, "Okay."

Since Ye Lan was able to tell Elder Feng that she wanted to make this soft-skinned giant squid, then she must have a delicious way of cooking it. This soft-skinned giant squid is a top-quality squid. It can usually be blanched or stir-fried, or it can be stuffed with shrimp paste and grilled. What Ye Lan is going to do today is grill it.

Feng Ming asked Ye Lan to cook the giant squid simply to see what new way he could prepare it.

After reaching this level of cultivation, Feng Ming's only hobbies were fishing and cooking fish. Any fish he couldn't finish cooking, he would raise in a lotus pond. This lotus pond was connected to the sea, so he wasn't worried about the fish not surviving. He also set up a barrier to prevent them from escaping into the sea.

However, Feng Ming was unlucky with fishing. He could only catch a few fish normally, and sometimes he wouldn't catch any at all. He was also unwilling to use his spiritual power to catch fish, so there weren't many fish in the lotus pond. The time Ye Lan and the others came was the time when there were the most sea fish in the castle.

With the eldest members of the family in the kitchen, the others naturally felt embarrassed to sit in the hall waiting for food, so they all offered to help. Even Feng Yanyi went; she usually helped her great-grandfather. Fortunately, the kitchen was very large and could accommodate everyone.
