Our search for the third Legendary cookware took us to Mount Jiuhua.
There, we met the self-proclaimed Abalone Deity Wong Seiyo, who had mysterious powers.
Obsessed with money and power, this Wong Seiyo character had to be a fraud.
Perhaps that Spiritual Deity Copperware of his is the third Legendary cookware.
Either way, I can't forgive him.
He callously demeans people to indulge his own greed.
I'll crush him completely!
I am the Comet God, come to pass judgment.
Taste my miraculous comet cuisine, and tremble!
Shooting Star of Heaven! Special Comet Fried Rice
A thousand years ago, the barren land of Jiuhua was known as the mountain of death.
But God sent a green-tailed comet upon this land.
Cutting across the mountains, the comet carved a large swath of fertile land.
And brought forth a bountiful harvest.
I am that very Comet God, in the flesh!
Wha? The legendary Comet God?
Comet God?
The Comet God has descended?
The Comet God has returned to awaken the people of Jiuhua,
for we have neglected our land and lost our faith in Him.
Fu fu fu! Who are you trying to fool?
You're that idiot kid we threw out of the Deity's Shrine!
You are not a god!
That's right! If you're really a god, then perform a miracle like Lord Seiyo!
That's right! That's right!
A miracle, you say?
Very well.
W-what?!
I shall perform a true miracle to awaken those who are deceived by false gods.
Fu fu!
You'll do a true miracle, will you?
All right then, let's have a match to see which of us performs the true miracle!
Hmph, with the Spiritual Deity Copperware on our side, there's no way you can win this, brat!
It's decided then. The altar for the miracle shall be...
A temple built long ago by the people of Jiuhua to worship the Comet God.
There, at Jiuhua Heights!
Fu fu!
Insolent brat! I'll show you the power of Wong Seiyo, the Abalone Deity!
This is the perfect opportunity to cement my hold on these fools.
It may be overkill, but I'll play my trump card.
I shall allow everyone present to behold my ultimate power!
The never-before seen super miraculous dried food of Abalone Deity Seiyo!
Whoa! What a humongous abalone!
Such magnificence!
There's enough for hundreds!
Wow...
I've never seen abalone that big!
This giant dried abalone, which only gods like me are allowed to possess,
would need to be boiled for seven days and seven nights by an ordinary person to rehydrate it.
Now, watch carefully, all of you!
The power of a Deity's hand!
Fu fu fu! Arhhh!
Now, come and eat, you scum. No money or valuable offerings required.
In my generosity, I gift this to you all!
Lord Deity!
Abalone God, Lord Seiyu!
Lord Seiyo!
All done in the blink of an eye...
Surely this is divine technique!
It takes my breath away.
The taste of a miracle!
That's right! There is nowhere else for you to return to, but me.
See that, brat?
Is that all your miracle can do?
What did you say, brat?
Err, I mean...
Where's your miracle? Hurry up and do it!
As you wish.
Huh? What's that box for?
Behold, for this is my cuisine!
A plate.
It's a big empty plate.
This doesn't look like anything other than a big empty dish.
Heh! False god! Will you now conjure food from this empty dish?
Or do you want them to eat air? Heh heh heh.
Stay away from the plate, midget god! You'll defile it!
What did you—
Midget god begone! Midget god begone! Midget god begone! Midget god begone!
Cleanse this place from evil spirits! Cleanse this place from evil spirits!
You... you... you!
How much more do you intend to ridicule me?!
I beseech you, oh Heaven. Bring salvation upon my people on Jiuhua!
Once again, bring forth the miracle of a millennium gone by!
W-what? What's this sound?
Look! Over there!
It's a comet!
The legendary green comet!
It fell! It fell on that giant plate!
Comet God Special! Miracle Comet Fried Rice has arrived!
I... I can't believe this!
It fell... Food fell from the sky?!
Fear not. Partake, and remember.
The smell of the land where you were born and raised on.
Don't worry. It's delicious.
Come and get it! FIrst come first served!
Shilou.
Eat and be sated.
It's green. A jade-green fried rice!
Delicious! With an overwhelming smell of green vegetables...
It's so refreshing, it's like taking a deep breath of fresh air!
With the smell of the overflowing sun!
How? My hands and feet used to be as heavy as lead.
It's like I'm floating on air! I can stand upright once more.
Ingredients that flow miraculously from Jiuhua's fields, and cooked instantly by the rays of the sun...
This is the miraculous cooking of the Comet God!
We must give thanks! We must give thanks!
This is indeed a true miracle!
After a thousand years, the miraculous Comet God has descended upon the land of Jiuhua once again.
It's a miracle! A miracle!
I-impossible! Don't be fooled, peasants! Come back to me!
Spinach, snow cabbage, green onions...
I've almost forgotten this smell..
It's green! The greens that purify our souls!
Yes. I remember now.
We were born and raised on fields of overflowing green given by the Comet God.
Oh yes! Let's go to the fields!
- Right, you said it!
That's right! Let's do that, fellow villagers!
That's right, you said it!
We must not leave our fields unattended!
Fu fu fu... wait!
Wait, I say! You scum!
Eeeyow-ow-ouch!
Yes! Yes!
Fu fu fu...
Look at that. The villagers were so glum, but just look at them now.
They run so lightly and joyously!
That's Brother Mao's miracle for you!
Fu fu! Brat, what the heck did you do?!
I just reinstated the nutrient balance of Jiuhua's people.
Fu fu?
Hah. Don't play dumb, false god!
When I heard the legend of Jiuhua, I understood everything.
You tricked the people of Jiuhua by making them eat only abalone!
Am I wrong?
Fu...
Abalone is tasty. But if you eat nothing else, you'll soon run short of essential vitamins and develop beriberi.
Your entire body feels very heavy, and depression starts to set in.
That's why everyone was so lethargic all day long.
Your methods were clearly dirty.
You manipulated people when their willpower was low, tricking them out of their valuables.
Your face is a mirror of your personality.
That reminds me! Give us back our money!
And the money for the la mian you made us pay for!
Hah! I never tricked anyone.
How can I possibly make them eat nothing but abalone, you moron?
The comet was said to bring prosperity to this land.
Jiuhua's people worshipped this as the land chosen by God.
Never even thinking of leaving, they steadfastly believed that God will descend with divine food.
And you exploited their beliefs!
Nobody here knows of abalone, so you told them it was the food of God!
That's why I made fried rice filled with snow cabbage and spinach,
and many other green vegetables that grow in Jiuhua.
Replenishing the people's nutrients with a super healthy fried rice full of vitamins.
Fu... fu... B-but how?
How did the fried rice fly through the air?!
I made it fly to imitate the legendary comet, and also to absorb sunlight.
This helps loosen the rice grains.
Basically, Brother Mao's Comet Fried Rice is the real food of God.
Just as the legend foretold!
My question was how the hell did the fried rice fly. Not why, retard!
You know, you look even uglier when you're angry.
Do you want to know?
You insufferable brats... I'm so mad, I'm getting dizzy.
I can't believe this catapult sent it so far.
And right on target.
That's Mao for you, always asking for the impossible.
Well, we have one more job to do.
That's cheating! Unfair! Trickster!
Look who's talking! Look who's talking!
Imbecile.
That's the last straw!
What are you doing? Get them!
What the?
O-oh no! We must hurry!
The Deity's Shrine! The Deity's Shrine!
Now he's really angry.
God's retribution is at hand.
May the Heavens punish that imbecile.
T-the home of my soul! The Deity's Shrine!
It's ruined.
Who could have done this?
N-never mind that, where's my treasure?
Fu fu fu fu, fu fu fu fu...
Are you looking for this, phony god?
Too bad for you, the Comet God isn't the only god around.
Meet the gods of destruction!
Fu fu fu?!!!
Out of my way, you scum!
That's mine. All mine!
All these offerings will be returned to the villagers.
What was that? No, that's mine! You have no right!
Give it back! Give it back! GIve it back right now!
You're not taking a single coin from here! It's all mine, give it back!
Haven't you learned your lesson?!
The only scum... a leech that sucks the villagers dry for no better reason than personal greed...
IS YOU!!!
Begone to outer space with the lot of you!
Lord Seiyo!
Shell, Leon!
We did it!
Case closed, right?
Evil spirit exorcism...
Complete! Complete!
This copperware was about to be smelted by a local smith when Seiyo bought it from him.
It was originally uncovered in the village fields.
That's strange, there's really no false bottom here.
There are no hidden tricks here, Brother Mao.
Then it just might be the Legendary cookware!
We'll know it once we test it.
Hold it with your hands, Mao.
Huh?
A Legendary cookware chooses its own master.
I'm sure it will react differently than it did with Seiyo.
Okay.
If this is the third Legendary cookware, then...
Why are you trembling, Brother Mao?
It's not me. It's the copperware.
W-what's that? Such a brilliant light!
The copperware is reacting to Mao!
It's completely different from Seiyo!
A brilliant flash of light that cuts through all eight corners of the sky.
It's a dragon! Just like the Forever- Spirit Knife and the Coiled Dragon Pot!
It's proof that Mao is the worthy owner of the cookware!
There's no doubt! This is most definitely a legendary cookware!
A-amazing. So it was the power of the Legendary cookware that rehydrated the abalone.
But why, for a charlatan like Seiyo?
Probably in gratitute to Seiyo for saving it from being melted down.
As they say, what is done by night appears by day.
What does that even mean?
It means that if you do a good deed, you'll be rewarded somehow even if nobody knows about it.
The Legendary cookware repaid a favor for even a crook like Seiyo.
With his favor repaid, he performed his miracle.
I ghess that means that if the true owner, Mao, uses it...
It might just create some miracle that's beyond belief.
That's wonderful!
We did it! We got the third miracle cookware!
Mission accomplished! Mission accomplished!
They just might have been truly sent by God to save the land of Jiuhua.
Super lucky! Super unexpected!
We must remember to thank the Comet God for it.
But I can't believe Brother Mao defeated a Legendary cookware.
The only word I have left is... wow!
But only because it was Seiyo. If not, I'd be in trouble.
Don't be so modest!
With Brother Mao by our side, not even the Underworld Cooking Society scares me anymore!
Indeed. With Mao's incredible palate, his unbelievably grand ideas, and his spirit as a chef...
With just any one of those...
Mao might just be able to blow the Underworld Cooking Society to bits!
This cookware doesn't perform miracles, it's all you!
You will save the Chinese cooking world from the Underworld's threatening claws.
Liu Mao Xing!
What? They found the third cookware?
The Legendary cookware are our long-sought treasures.
Without them, we can accomplish nothing!
Liu Mao Xing... always manages to find the Legendary cookware before we do.
It's as if...
The cookware themselves are calling out to that boy.
Ten-Feet-of-Blue Shan!
Yes sir!
If only you had a tighter rein on Shou An!
Forgive me. I had no idea Shou An would turn out to be such a weakling.
So you admit to your mistake?
A moment please! I have a plan.
A plan?
It is true that Liu Mao Xing has nigh-miraculous power.
But he's always had Steel-Stick Shell and the Underworld traitor Leon with him.
Together, these three are far more formidable foes than we've imagined.
However, they also keep two underlings with them.
And your point?
If we use the underlings to divide them, a weakness should become apparent.
Understood.
Ordinarily your failure calls for death.
However...
I will give you one more chance.
Find their weakness, and bring their Legendary cookware back to us!
With my life, sir!
FREE AS THE WIND
Every night when I fall fast asleep I can hear you whispering in my dreams, feel me.
Then a bluish flame burns bright within Shining, sparkling hotter than ordinary fire.
Look at all the rain gently falling down, Filling over the dry lake bed with freshwater streams.
If we both go down like this inside our hearts, Who knows what places we will find and explore?
Destiny ensured that we both meet at the same present.
Free to frolic like the wandering wind.
Ohhh, can we stay like this until the very end of time?
This intensity I feel for you, is from Cosmic Power...
