Talisman Emperor
Chapter 731 Song of Fire
By this time, the veil of the night had already dropped, and it was deep at night.
But the whole of Taotie City does not look like a city at night because it is covered by lanterns and hanging ribbons. Lanterns flowing with dazzling light of various colors hung all over the city, causing it to be brightly illuminated and appearing as if many fire dragons lived in the city. Moreover, it was actually brighter than daylight.
When one looked up from the ground, the city that floated under the sky and within these clouds flowed with colorful lights and exuded brilliance that shone over a great distance, cause it to be beautiful and extraordinary to the extreme, like a miracle. .
When Chen Xi and A'xiu walked out of the courtyard and entered the wide and bustling streets, it was as if they were walking into a world as colorful as paintings, like, and a bustling sound wave attacked their faces.
All sorts of cultivators and stalls cooking delicious dishes could be seen everywhere. Streams of busy people moved up and down the streets while tasting delicious dishes and laughing happily, and the air was filled with a tantalizing and seductive aroma.
Axiu was so happy that his face was glowing, and he held Chen Xi's hand as he began his journey of eating and drinking along the way.
Braised Crimson Tail Prawn which tastes fresh and spicy; a kind of 100 Deep Beauty Soup that tastes sour, refreshing, sweet, and cool; a golden-yellow and crispy deep-fried fish; sweet, sweet, sweet, and cool, sticky, and delicious Ganoderma and blue date paste …
Many of the delicacies are filled with unique flavors and represent the culinary achievements of the entire Dark Reverie that currently meet on this side of the bustling street, and it was like a night market that allowed everyone to taste this delicious food for free, thus making it seem like what the greedy paradise dreamt of.
Axiu eats from one end of the road to the other and from this road to the next. Her petite figure really looked like a bottomless pit capable of holding all the delicious food.
He was truly too happy from eating today, causing his black jewel-like eyes to turn into two crescent moons, and his red and moist little mouth practically never stopped moving.
Chen Xi accompanied him like this while he listened to his carefree laughter which was like the sound of flowing tears and watched him cheering and jumping for joy for this kind of delicacy, and his heart felt calm and full.
The origins of A'xiu were extremely mysterious while its strength was so shocking that even an Eternal Earth Realm expert was no match for him. But it was precisely a young woman like this who was carefree like a naive child, and every move she made was like a young child.
It was simply impossible for him to imagine exactly what kind of environment would cultivate a young woman like A'xiu who still maintained her childish innocence yet happened to possess an extraordinarily formidable strength.
But Chen Xi had stopped guessing and stopped being wary of him now.
Ever since A'xiu helped her deal with her enemies without the slightest hesitation, she had already accepted the existence of this young lady and made her her as her friend.
Since he was his friend, then his status, identity, and cultivation were not important anymore, right?
Everyone on the streets of Taotie City was discussing one person tonight, and that was Chen Xi. Because they had all heard that this peerless genius had already arrived at Taotie City.
There were even rumors that Chen Xi was angry for unknown reasons and stopped the young expert of the Taotie Clan, Tao Kun, in the middle of the road before injuring him and attracting all the great figures of the Taotie Clan.
But in the end, Chen Xi left safely, while Tao Kun was instead imprisoned.
This rumor caused the entire Taotie City to be stirred up, and many people did not believe this rumor. After all, this was Taotie City, yet Chen Xi was actually causing trouble in the Taotie Clan territory and was safe and sound. Isn't this too absurd?
But when they asked this news from their friends in the Taotie Clan, they got a uniform answer – Silence!
There was no rejection or confirmation, and they simply replied in silence. Only this attitude made everyone feel that these rumors might be true.
The news of this caused Taotie City to be stirred even more intensely, and other than tasting delicious dishes and grilling each other wine, the hottest topic that everyone discussed was Chen Xi.
Why did he come to Taotie City?
Why would he fight Tao Kun?
All of this was like layer after layer of fog that caused others to be unable to refrain from curiosity and discuss it.
As Chen Xi and A'xiu moved about row after row of delicious dishes, they naturally heard this series of discussions. But he didn't care at all, nor did A'xiu because his attention was entirely on eating.
During this night, A'xiu ate as he pleased and drank wine from all the countless stalls of various sizes. In the end, because he drank too much and was unable to withstand the power of the wine, he was brought back to the courtyard by Chen Xi in a drunk and confused state.
After he sent A'xiu back to his room, Chen Xi spent the night alone in deep contemplation.
…
Three days later, the curtain towards the Gold Chef Spirit rank was drawn.
The Taotie clan held a grand ceremony for this and attracted the presence of cultivators from all over. But Chen Xi did not participate and sat quietly in her room while calmly preparing various materials.
Even if he wished for nothing more than to bring the severely injured Huo Molei back to the sect now, he had no choice but to calm his heart down and prepare for the Golden Rank Spirit Chef.
Because he owes me two promises.
Promises that are made must be kept. This was the principal that Chen Xi had been firmly holding since he started cultivating.
The first test of the Gold Spirit Chef Ranking began immediately.
Chen Xi cooked a dish called Song of Fire. 'It was cooked from 36 different types of animal meat mixed with some kind of stinging spirit spice, causing its color to be bright red and curved with hot steam, the source said, and it emits strands of a very pungent and seductive aroma.
When viewed from afar, it was like a fire burning fiercely in the sky above this plate, and it carried an uncontrollable, bold, and seemingly disregarding all shackles.
It just happened like Chen Xi's mood because Huo Molei's injuries had completely ignited the flames of anger in the depths of his heart.
…
Patriarch Tao Zhentian and all the seniors from the Taotie Clan were present.
Today was the day the Gold Spirit Chef Rankings began. The Taotie clan had deliberately held grand ceremonies before this to attract the presence of many cultivators from all over.
There was no shortage of world-famous great figures among those who attended the ceremony, and they all came personally to offer their congratulations. This caused Tao Zhentian and the others to be extremely proud and delighted, and they beamed from one ear to the other.
But they did not forget their duty to judge and choose the creations that would participate in the Golden Spirit Chef Ranking.
"Creation Master Qiao Fei Beiron City – Dragons Howling in the Sky!"
"Creation Master Qiu Feng Sect Illusion Spirit – Star Decorated!"
At the entrance of the hall was a courier who reported the name of the spirit chef and the name of the creations one by one in a loud voice.
Along with this sound, many delicious dishes were placed in a special jade box before being smoothly placed on a long table like flowing water. The jade box marks the name of the spirit chef and creation.
“Qiu Feng also participated? Incredibly, I heard he is only one step away from reaching the ranks of the eight leaf spirit chefs. It is an honor for us that he can participate in our clan's Golden Chef Spirit Rank. "Patriarch Tao Zhentian roared with laughter and was overjoyed. The Gold Chef Spirit rank this time was so great that it exceeded his imagination as many spirit chefs who had made a name for themselves long ago had participated in it, causing Tao Zhentian to feel proud.
The other elders nodded with smiles on their faces, and they were very happy.
Right in the middle of this happy atmosphere, a voice that did not match the mood in the slightest came out from the entrance. "Creation of Chen Xi Nine Sword Sect This Sect – Song of Fire!"
In just an instant, the happy atmosphere in the hall was completely erased, and it became oppressive and silent.
The happiness on the faces of all the Eternal World Realm experts including Tao Zhentian froze instantly, and was replaced by an indescribable gloom.
Even the attendants on the side of the hall were silent like crickets in winter.
"Hmph! This kid actually refused to let go of his bad intentions! ”An elder was the first to break the silence and sneer without end.
"Attendant, throw Chen Xi's creation out!" The other elder was completely blunt and shouted loudly while panting in anger.
"Yes!" An officer ran in a hurry when he heard this.
"wait. ”Just at this moment, the Patriarch, Tao Zhentian, suddenly spoke up and stopped this. “Elder Fourth, do not act on emotions. Ranking a Gold Spirit Chef is the highest honor of our clan, so how can we directly eliminate the creation of participants due to personal feelings? "
“Then what should we do? Could it be that we should let this kid advance in the competition? "The Fourth Elder frowned.
“Act according to the rules of the competition and decide the winner according to the quality of the creation. "Tao Zhentian spoke with an emotionless expression.
"Good! Let me taste what this fucker can cook! ”The Fourth Elder arrived in front of the table angrily. By the time he opened the jade box, the expanse of heat waves curled up like flames soaring into the sky, and it was filled with a sharp and seductive scent.
"Eh? It smells bad. "Tao Zhentian was surprised.
Meanwhile, all the elders looked at the plate of bright red dishes placed inside the jade box. The dish revealed the shape of a lotus, each single petal of a lotus was like a fire and there were a total of 36 that had clearly differentiated levels, causing it to appear like a red-flamed lotus was secretly blooming, causing it to appear like a red-flamed lotus to quietly bloom, and it was so pleasing to the eyes .
Just based on this, they could see that Chen Xi had achieved an extremely high achievement in the Culinary Dao.
All of these elders were old Taoties who had tasted delicious dishes all over the world, so their gazes were sharp, their sense of smell was extremely sharp, and they had a great experience, and they had a great experience, allowing them to notice how incredible this 'Song of Fire' plate is.
“Ptoey! Ptoey! Ptoey! What the fuck? Is this something that humans can eat? ”The Fourth Elder moved his chopsticks and had just clamped a piece into his mouth before he spat it out, and he shook his head repeatedly. “It must be eliminated! It feels too low, it must be eliminated! "
He didn't even feel it before jumping to conclusions, and it was clear how he hated Chen Xi.
Tao Zhentian frowned and personally stepped forward to taste a mouthful, and then he was silent for a long time but did not say anything before instructing the other elders to start assessing the other creations.
The other elders heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw this because even the Patriarch did not say anything, so it seemed like he had given his tacit approval to eliminate Chen Xi.
In the end, 3,000 creations were judged, and a roster of 100 advanced spirit chefs was quickly chosen.
However, all of the elders never expected that the Patriarch would actually put Chen Xi's name on this list!
As he looked at the confused expressions of all the elders, Tao Zhentian could not hold a deep breath, and then he turned around and left the hall. "Everyone, whenever it is, I hope that you all do not forget the foundation of our Taotie Clan!"
His voice echoed in the hall, and his voice was steady and echoing. When it entered the ears of the elders, it caused them to fall silent as they revealed an unspecified expression.
The next day .
Chen Xi accepted the invitation to go to Taotie Palace to participate in the second round. In other words, he had already managed to stand out among the 3,000 spirit chefs!
Other than feeling shocked by this, he couldn't help but admire the Taotie Clan's respect and protection against the rules of the competition.
He did not think any further and headed to Taotie Palace. Unlike the first round, cooking in the second round was based on various topics presented to the spirit chefs by the elders of the Taotie Clan.
These topics would not have been told to any spirit chefs before, and it was precisely because of this that the difficulty of this second round was clearly much greater than the first round.
Chen Xi felt extreme anticipation, and she wondered what topic she would receive from the Taotie Clan elders who were grinding their teeth with hatred towards her.
