Little Shrubby's breakthrough to the First Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm had gone unnoticed successfully.

While it wasn't unusual for people to breakthrough, it was still unusual for a beast to have this level of breakthrough. And if any expert sensed Little Shrubby's aura, they would know just how extraordinary he was.

Lin Mu felt rather proud of Little Shrubby and desired to reward him for all this.

'The immortal beast meat will be perfect for this occasion.' Lin Mu thought quickly.

"Perfect, we'll have a feast tonight!" Lin Mu declared.

As soon as little Shrubby heard this, his ears perked up and a glint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Feast!?" Little Shrubby excitedly asked.

"Yes, a feast! And I have the perfect ingredients for it!" Lin Mu answered, making little Shrubby almost burst with joy.

The beast greatly enjoyed cooking as well as eating and hadn't done it for a long time now. Lin Mu even used to gather special ingredients and spices for the beast, since he could learn more and make better things.

Back in the Deep Sapphire island, Lanbao and Elder Niji had given him a lot of herbs and fruits. All of them would now be coming in handy, especially since Little Shrubby could consume immortal realm resources as well.

"Show me! Show me!" Little Shrubby couldn't wait to start cooking.

It was still afternoon right now, but cooking would also take some time after all. If he started now, it should be ready by night time.

"Alright." Lin Mu quickly took out all the Immortal beast meat he had as well as several immortal herbs and fruits.

The Saintess was standing at the back and watching it all with a mix of confusion and intrigue.

'He certainly has a lot of resources for his level is this the support of that senior or his own?' The Saintess wondered.

If there was anyone else that saw the items that Lin Mu had taken out, they would almost faint from it. After all, this was nothing but a display of wealth. Any of the herbs and fruits he took out could be sold for a pretty value and were easily worth a fortune.

Lin Mu himself hadn't used them since he had intended to cook them for better effects. And now that Little Shrubby was here too, it was the perfect opportunity to start utilizing them.

The next thing Lin Mu did was to take out his cooking 'utensils'.

The Thousand Ding Glitter Cauldron made its appearance once more and sheets of hundred refined iron appeared too. Then there were the hundreds of different spices that Lin Mu had obtained over the course of his journey.

He also didn't forget to take out the Stone Flesh Mushrooms.

Lin Mu had kept a lot of them in the ring and had wished for Little Shrubby to try them in the future too.

"Oh yeah, you should start with these first. They are really good." Lin Mu pointed to the Stone Flesh Mushrooms.

"They are new?" Little Shrubby first smelled the mushrooms and a.s.sessed their flavor.

He even ate one whole and tasted its flavors.

"This is good!" Little Shrubby found it to be nice.

"It's even better roasted." Lin Mu showed how the Haima tribe cooked them.

A few minutes later, a basket of Stone Flesh Mushrooms was quickly ready.

Under Little Shrubby's flames, there were few things that wouldn't melt and the Stone Flesh mushrooms needed even less time.

~Crack~

Lin Mu cracked their outer sh.e.l.l, revealing the tender flesh inside. A savory aroma could be felt coming from it, and even the Saintess found it pleasant. Little Shrubby and Lin Mu ate a few before Lin Mu noticed the Saintess watching them.

'I almost forget about her' Lin Mu realized, feeling a bit embarra.s.sed.

He picked a few Stone Flesh Mushrooms and put them in a bowl before walking up to the Saintess.

"Would you like to try too, Saintess? They are rather good." Lin Mu offered.

The Saintess looked at the bowl of Stone Flesh mushrooms for a few seconds, wondering if she should reject. She was at a stage where she didn't really need to eat much. And even if she did, it would be precious pills, elixirs of fruits.

But after a bit of thinking, she nodded her head.

"I'll try them," she accepted.

? She picked one of them and easily cracked them open. Lin Mu could see a faint ring of air cutting the Stone Flesh mushrooms before peeling them from the sh.e.l.l. It was very fast and efficient, making Lin Mu a little envious.

The Saintess brought the flesh to her veil before lifting it a bit and eating it.

Lin Mu watched on, wondering if she would like it.

After about thirty seconds, the Saintess finally spoke. "It's decent."

"It's fine as long as you like it." Lin Mu said with a smile. "Don't worry, we'll have even better stuff or you soon. I know you must be used to good food from the Celestial realm, but this should at least compare in taste." He spoke with great expectations.

The Saintess nodded her head in response while Lin Mu went to help Little Shrubby.

~SHUA~

She gently waved her hand and created a set of table and chairs.

They looked like they were made out of clouds and had a fluffy texture.

It wasn't Lin Mu's first time seeing them, so he wasn't as surprised, but Little Shrubby was curious. He made a few circles around it for a minute before going back to cook.

The Saintess didn't mind it either and let the beast do as he pleased. To her, the beast was like a child and had no bad intentions. Besides, she was also quite interested in Little Shrubby now.

'A beast that likes to cook? This'll be my first time seeing something like this too.' The Saintess thought as she observed little Shrubby expertly cooking.

The various spirit tool hands flew around him, doing several tasks.
