As Mo Suyin lay unconscious and Xin Guang suffered from nightmarish dreams, "Hm... Now, what should I even make?" Jianyu found himself in the kitchen, pondering over what to prepare.
In this world of cultivation, culinary skills were an art as profound as any martial technique, and he needed to craft a dish befitting his illustrious identity, as the former True Dao Food Emperor!
Jianyu reached into his storage ring, forged from the illustrious Spring-Autumn Emerald, an artifact whose value could rival that of the rarest treasures. Its depths held an array of ingredients, some recognizable, others as exotic as the realms themselves.
'Well, for my first work in this life, let's just make something simple...'
From his ethereal pantry, he withdrew a bag of Celestial Rice grains, each grain infused with the essence of earth qi. These golden grains, known as Celestial Rice, never turned soggy due to the earth qi, their nature ideal for preparing mystical fried rice dishes.
"While the Celestial Rice cooks, let's prepare the aromatic ingredients," Jianyu mused, his fingers moving like a painter's brush on a mystical canvas.
With a flick of his hand, he summoned a Glimmering Onion, its layers shimmering like jade in the moonlight. The Whispering Garlic, its fragrance said to soothe restless spirits, followed suit. Then came the Crimson Dragons' Fury Chilies, fiery and fierce, their heat capable of igniting one's inner fire.

A colossal egg, originating from the Thunderbird, lay next to the pristine kitchen counter. Twice the size of an ostrich egg, its shell shimmered with azure patterns. Jianyu, with the grace of a master artisan, used his Qi Blade to create a clean, perfect incision. The egg's contents flowed into a bowl like liquid gold.
A second egg, gleaming with a silver sheen like moonlight on a tranquil lake, joined the first. With a flick of his wrist, Jianyu whisked them together, their divine energies merging in a celestial dance of flavors.
"Hmm, the Celestial Rice has reached its peak," Jianyu noted, Like a keen culinary cultivator he was always in tune with his ingredients.
He summoned the Essence Forge Wok, an artifact specially crafted for the culinary elite. Its metal sang as he poured Qi-infused oil, distilled from the ancient trees of the Verdant Serenity Forest. The onions and garlic danced in the wok, releasing a captivating aroma that transcended realms.
Jianyu added the fiery Crimson Dragons' Fury Chilies, causing the wok to blaze with mystic flames. In went the golden eggs, their mixture taking on an otherworldly hue.
To this enchanting blend, Jianyu sprinkled Mystic Chaos Spice, harvested under a blood moon, and Whispering Breeze Salt, harvested from the windswept cliffs of the Endless Sea.
The Celestial Rice, fully awakened to their celestial essence, joined the dance, absorbing the flavors like eager disciples absorbing the wisdom of a venerable master. Each grain stood apart, a testament to its exceptional quality.
As a final flourish, Jianyu summoned Moonlit Jade Leaves, plucked from the rarest vine in the Garden of Tranquil Nights. They glistened like emerald dewdrops, lending an ethereal touch to the dish.
"And thus, the Celestial Harmony Fried Rice is complete!" Jianyu declared, his dish a masterpiece of spiritual cuisine, transcending the boundaries of the ordinary.
