Talisman Emperor
Chapter 726
Taotie City lived up to its name being a city in the sky. The straight and wide streets of the city are built from the mirror-like Levitational Rocks, and they are covered in layers of clouds, causing them to feel like a dream when one walks on its streets.
At the same time, Taotie City is the world-famous 'Licious Food Capital', and collects all the delicious food in the world. There were various ingredients from all over that were transported to the city at practically any time, and after being cooked by the spirit chefs in the city, they became many delicacies with special flavors on the dining table.
Today, along with the approach of the Golden Chef Spirit Rank, the capital of this delicious dish became increasingly crowded and flowed with people, and the streets were almost filled with people. Some were cultivators from all over who had come to witness the grand event out of admiration, and some were first-rate spirit chefs who had come from far and wide.
When Chen Xi and the others stepped foot into the city, it seemed like they had entered another world, and a loud sound wave attacked their faces.
The strands of various seductive fragrances teased the air like a expanse of fermented clouds and mist, causing one's spirit to become fresh and eat te while kissing it.
The streets of the city were vast and filled with stalls on both sides. Behind the stalls were many spirit chefs cooking delicious meals with skillful gestures, whereas the people on the streets mostly met before each stall and tasted the dishes while singing waves of praise.
“Flaming Finecloud Stand skewers are really great! The texture of the meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is oily yet not greasy. The rarest part of it all was carrying the spicy flavor of the Jade Turnip Spice. Oh, it tastes too good! "" These Nine Treasures Spirit Cake Spirit Kiosk Turmeric were even better. It tastes sweet, sticky, crunchy, and smooth. It brings the freshness of Azure Duckweed and the rich taste of Silver Poria. Even my tongue melted along with it once it was in my mouth. ”
"Come, come, come! Let's taste this Clear Maroon Fruit Wine. It was personally brewed by Master Mei after gathering over a thousand spirit fruits and sealed within the ice hole for a hundred years, and it had just been sealed today. It has a soft and rich taste, and it is said that even the immortal will be intoxicated by those three cups. This was a precious and incredible wine that was hard to come by. ”
Boisterous sounds filled the streets while the cultivators formed groups of two or three as they enjoyed the delicious dishes and enjoyed the outstanding wine in front of the many stalls with relaxed and carefree bearings.
The luxurious scene that was covered with delicious food even made Chen Xi feel too much for her eyes to enter, and she was very interested. Most importantly, the delicious food before the stalls was actually reserved for free tasting!
What a waste!
Chen Xi praised in her heart. After all, those delicacies were not ordinary dishes, and each of them was comparable to spirit medicines and had miraculous effects, causing them to be expensive.
Right now, they were actually given away for free to passersby on Taotie Street for a taste, and ordinary power simply could not bear such a cost.
"Oh, there's so much good food!" The eyes of nearby Axiu lit up as he stared fixedly at the golden-yellow skewers of the roast meat, and traces of crystal saliva overflowed from the red and moist corners of his mouth.
She was wearing a green dress, had a graceful figure, and had a beautiful and beautiful appearance. At this moment, the appearance of his little eater did not arouse dislike in others, but instead revealed a gentle and funny feeling.
He shook Chen Xi's arm. “Come start eating too. I want to eat for three days and three nights! ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people passing by nearby were instantly startled, and they looked at A'xiu with strange expressions. It was really difficult for them to imagine that such a lofty statement was uttered by a beautiful and cute young lady.
A'xiu did not care, and he ran happily to a stall and flicked his finger before he said in a clear voice, “The shopkeeper, give me 10 meat skewers! Right, you didn't hear me wrong. Not just one but 10! ”
“Heh, Young Miss, you really have a good meal. "The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile from the entertainment but still passed through a bunch of skewers.
"Of course, how can I eat for three days and three nights if I don't eat well?" The corner of Axiu's mouth curled up, and he revealed an aura of arrogance as if he could devour all in a moment.
The shopkeeper was startled and looked at Chen Xi as if he was saying. Young Master, this girl friend of yours is too abnormal, right?
Chen Xi held her forehead in a state of utter exhaustion, and she had a gloomy feeling. He walked forward and held A'xiu's hand before walking forward.
"Hey! Oi! What are you pulling me for? ”
"I'll repeat it once again, I'm not called 'hi'!"
"Oh, Chen Xi's. ”
"Young Miss, can you be a little normal?"
"normal? Am I not very normal? "
"You…"
"Didn't that?"
"…"
In the end, Chen Xi exerted a lot of effort and finally brought A'xiu to leave the luxurious street filled with tempting delicious dishes, and he moved to the courtyard with Meng Wei and the others.
"Rest for a moment . No one is allowed to leave without my permission! ”Chen Xi glared at A'xiu, and she warned loudly before turning around and returning to her room.
Chen Xi began to carefully read the jade slip in her hand after returning to her room.
This was given to him by a servant from the Taotie Clan while moving to this courtyard, and it recorded the procedures and rules associated with the Gold Ranking Spirit Chef.
According to the jade slip, the Gold Spirit Chef Rank this time around would have 3,000 spirit chefs from all over Dark Reverie competing within it, and every single spirit chef was around the seven-leaf level.
The rules of the competition are also very simple. It was divided into three rounds. The spirit chef would just have to cook the dish and give it to the corresponding waiter for the first round, and the maid would send it to Taotie Palace. At that time, the great spirit chefs of the Taotie Clan would taste these dishes one by one and select 100 spirit chefs to advance to the next round.
In the second half, the 100 spirit chefs who had been selected would be invited to Taotie Palace, and they would cook different dishes according to the various topics given to them. The 10 most reputable people will remain while the remaining people will be eliminated.
The third round is the final. At that time, the heavenly artifact Taotie Clan – The Nine-Profundity Immortal Wok would make an appearance in Taotie Palace as well, he said, and it would appraise the top three spirit chefs along with the other three seniors from the Taotie Clan.
The award for the Gold Spirit Chef Ranking this time around was also very generous. For example, not only would the first three obtain the Goldblaze Flame strand, they would even be able to obtain the reward of the Nine-Profundity Immortal Wok.
Goldblaze Flame was a kind of heavenly flame from the heavens and earth, and it was extremely rare. Only the Taotie Clan had such a source of fire, and it was almost impossible to find a place.
Not only could this heavenly flame be used to refine pills and utensils, it had an extremely miraculous effect towards cooking food by spirit chefs. It could be said that this heavenly fire was truly a precious treasure that every spirit chef dreamed of.
On the other hand, the reward of the Eternal Demon Wok was even more incredible. After all, it was an Immortal Artifact that had existed since primeval times until today, and his Spirit Artefact had lived for countless years. It had a respected status and identity to the point that a Heavenly Deity might have to be courteous when meeting!
This was a gift from an ancient figure, so how could it possibly be ordinary?
Of course, other than spirit chefs ranked third, other spirit chefs ranked in the top 10 and 100 would also earn rewards. But the value of these gifts was much lower than the rewards earned by those in the top three.
Goldblaze Flame, isn't it one of the heavenly flames required to refine the Flame God Fan? Chen Xi was surprised because she never expected that the gift from the Taotie Clan actually contained a treasure, and she could not help but feel a little anticipation.
The Gold Spirit Chef's ranking will begin in three days. Oh, looks like I have to make proper preparations as well. Chen Xi pondered for a moment as the contents of the Main Guiding Materials for Food Illustrations appeared clearly in his mind.
This was the first book related to the spirit chef that Old Man had given him when he was in Pine Mist City, and recorded several tens of thousands of spirit herbs, fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and so on and so forth that could be used as materials, and could be said to contain everything that existed in the world.
Precisely by relying on the foundation formed from this book, Chen Xi's understanding of the Dao Culinary had increased unknowingly along with his cultivation to reach heights which caused Master Yong to praise him endlessly.
Soon, Chen Xi had a plan in her heart, and she got up and left her room with the intention of buying some materials on the streets.
But he deliberately went to look at A'xiu before leaving, and he saw the young lady who was not acting according to the convention was playing with Xiao Yan and the others, who were not acting according to the convention, it caused him to instantly feel much more relaxed. So he told Meng Wei before turning around and leaving.
…
As the capital of publicly recognized delicacies, Taotie City is naturally devoid of ingredients. On the contrary, the materials and items here were so numerous and complete that it could be said to be peerless.
But Chen Xi had just arrived here, and she was very unfamiliar with Taotie City, so she hired a local to be her guide once she left.
The guide was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, and he was a smart speaker. His name is Tao Ge.
Along with the curtain for the Gold Chef Spirit Rank to be drawn, cultivators from all over the world had come due to admiration. For the convenience of guests who have just arrived and for the sake of obtaining treasures, many locals have taken on the role of guides, and Tao Ge is one of them.
"Young Master, look over there. It was the Spirit Fire Pool that was being built. Upon completion, over 1,000 types of spirit flames collected by my Taotie Clan from all over the world will be placed there for the sake of being utilized for cooking. '' Tao Ge was a very enthusiastic guide, and coupled with the high compensation Chen Xi gave him, it made him work even harder. So, he spoke with passion and confidence along the way while quoting many books as if he were talking about a topic that he was very familiar with.
At this moment, he pointed into the distance with a proud expression. In that place was a huge pond occupying a very large area, and it was completely built from a first-rate Blacksoul Jade, causing it to appear dignified, restrained, majestic, and majestic.
Several equipment distillers and Talisman Formation Masters were bustling around the Spirit Flame Pool, and they were utilizing every second to build it up, making it seem like an extremely crowded scene.
“After this Spirit Flame Pool is Myriad Transformations Market, it is the largest convergence place of ingredients in my Taotie City. Who flew in the sky, crawled on the ground, swam in the water. There were every kind of materials, and were rather famous in the cultivation world. '' Tao Ge pointed into the distance and only intended to lead Chen Xi when a stretch of noisy sounds coincidentally echoed out of the way at this moment.
A large group walked through the middle of the road with their heads held high, and they all rode Whitejade Dracophants who were 9m tall. It was like a lot of small hills covered with thick scaled armor like a shield.
Their footsteps were extremely heavy, and each step caused the ground to tremble, and their thrust was shocking as the entire group rumbled and moved on the streets.
In Whitejade Dracophant in front of the group was a strong young man who was sitting upright, and he had a very strong body. His appearance was rough, his eyes were cold as lightning, and his entire body emitted an oppressive aura.
"Eh! This is truly Young Master Tao Kun! ”Tao Ge was stunned as a powerful wisp of respect surged into his eyes. "Young Master, that's the genius expert of our Taotie Clan – Tao Kun. He had joined one of the 10 great immortal sects, the Heavenflow Dao Sect, at such a young age, and he received a deep and high greeting from many seniors in the clan! "
