Talisman Emperor
Chapter 734 The Eternal Demon Wok
The hall was silent.
Chen Xi quietly returned to her previous seat before carefully sensing the change in her Dao Heart.
This dish, Restless Mind, allowed him to suddenly grasp the mysterious power coming from the Heart of Dao, and it seemed like it was illusory and refined, yet it was everywhere.
He could faintly sense that this 'mysterious energy' was extremely shocking, and it was not inferior to True Essence, Shaman Energy, and Heavenly Sense, and it was the kind of energy that came from the heart.
As the saying goes, the human heart is unfathomable. Cultivation was like the cultivation of the heart, and the emotions as well as the ups and downs of life caused all living things to undergo changes in their hearts at any moment.
Unfortunately, there were very few people who knew how to understand this kind of energy.
Because it was too illusory and ethereal to the point that even Chen Xi was only vaguely able to sense the existence of this mysterious energy after his Dao Heart broke through, and he was very far from controlling it.
"Heavenly skills!" While Chen Xi was feeling his advantage in a meditative state, a voice filled with emotions suddenly broke the silence and shook the hall, causing everyone to seem as if they were waking up from a dream and recovering from their voices.
The person who issued the****** this emotional* was the Patriarch, Tao Zhentian. At this moment, he had an emotional expression when he looked at the cooked dish, and he did not hide his admiration in the slightest.
At this moment, he stopped thinking about the hatred, gains, and losses between the Taotie Clan and Chen Xi as his heart was filled with admiration and fondness for this dish. As the descendant of an ancient savage beast, Taotie, a deep love for delicious food flowed in his bones as well.
“This dish uses only four types of ingredients, but is cooked to a perfect delicacy. The level of achievement within this Culinary Dao can truly be said to be heavenly! ”Everyone sighed consecutively with emotion, and the gazes they shot at Chen Xi were filled with astonishment and disbelief, causing it to become extremely complicated. Who could have imagined before that a young man like this would be able to accomplish this?
The expressions of all the elders of the Taotie Clan were slightly grim. But they had no choice but to admit in their hearts that this dish that Chen Xi cooked was truly too beautiful and perfect!
Before, even they were very surprised …
Master Qiu Feng was a little worried about his position in the contest. His expression was uncertain when he saw the 'Unsatisfied Mind' dish cooked by Chen Xi, and he even looked a little worried and anxious.
He spoke confidently about cooking up to the point of fire coming out of the water but never spreading and Yin hugged Yang while Yang shot into the sky. 'It was the cooking method he thought was the most perfect, and this method obtained uniform approval from all the other spirit chefs in the hall.
But at this moment, he noticed that the cooking method Chen Xi used was far superior to his, and it formed a perfect state between fire and water while Yin and Yang circulated. Chen Xi's unique achievement in the Culinary Dao made her feel ashamed of her inferiority.
The second half ended here, and it was time to announce the next results.
Tao Zhentian led all the elders to begin tasting 100 dishes one by one before handing down the punishment.
Of course, the final result could only be known after all the dishes had been tested, and then 10 would be selected to advance to the final round.
This period of time was extremely unbearable for all the spirit chefs in the hall because even though Tao Zhentian and the others gave excessive judgments towards the dish, it did not represent the final result, nor did it represent the final result, and it caused everyone to become a little uneasy in their regards.
Soon enough, it was Chen Xi's turn of dishes.
When they intended to try out Chen Xi's dishes, Tao Zhentian spoke up abruptly. “Do not let your mental state affect the taste of your tongue. ”
The other elders were stunned. Some nodded seriously while others remained indifferent.
Meanwhile, the gazes of the other spirit chefs in the hall gathered together as they wanted to listen to the appraisal obtained from this dish which revealed a shocking scene.
After which, a scene that made everyone dumbfounded appeared.
Among the elders who had tasted this dish, some people revealed drunken expressions as they praised it very much and clapped their hands as if they had dragon hearts and phoenix marrow.
However, the other part of the elder had an expression of hate and continued to spit as if they were eating a fly. They looked as if they felt terrible to them, and their expressions did not seem to be fake.
This caused everyone to be curious. This was just a simple dish, yet how did the two extreme reactions appear?
Everyone was surprised and confused.
Only Chen Xi's expression remained calm and without the slightest ripple, and she looked like she hoped this scene would happen.
Tao Zhentian frowned and was furious in his heart. He had just tasted the dish a moment ago, and it tasted so amazing that it actually stood on top of the other dishes. Even to the point that he could not help himself from tasting another mouthful.
Although he hated Chen Xi as well. But he had to admit that Chen Xi's culinary skills had conquered the tastes in this competition.
But now, he clearly warned them not to be influenced by personal emotions, yet these elders did not listen and deliberately opposed him. Moreover, they even frankly criticized this dish as trash. How could he not be angry?
"That's enough for all of you!" Tao Zhentian was angry and cursing in a low voice.
"Patriarch, we make absolutely no unfounded criticism. The taste we felt was really horrible to the extreme, and it felt like wood powder. "The fourth elder did not give up and spoke with a serious expression.
"You dare to make excuses !?" Tao Zhentian growled until his lips trembled. Could these idiots be shameless? There are so many spirit chefs watching here!
"Patriark, we can swear!" At this moment, it was not only the fourth elder, and even the other elders could not help but speak.
"Huh .." Tao Zhentian was stunned, and he vaguely sensed something strange.
“No need to argue, what you all feel is the most true taste. "Just at this moment, a rough and deep voice suddenly sounded throughout the hall.
A dazzling wisp of immortal light enveloped the hall along with this voice, and then a middle-aged man wearing a tall crown walked out from within the light. He was tall and strong, had a rough appearance, twisting muscles, and an immortal radiance flowed all over his body, it made him seem like a war god who had descended from heaven and exuded an extremely frightening aura.
In just an instant, the entire hall erupted with boundless light from his arrival, and even the air cheered as the entire surroundings were bathed in a calm, peaceful, and orderly atmosphere.
"Our ancestor!" Tao Zhentian and all the elders were startled and quickly kneeled on the ground with respectful expressions that revealed sincere respect.
The ancestor?
Isn't that the Nine-Profundity Immortal Wok?
The bodies of all the other spirit chefs trembled as they stood up hurriedly before bowing. Never did they imagine that this existence would be alerted at this moment.
Even Chen Xi stood up quickly while revealing a shocked expression as the aura emitted by the tall middle-aged man was too frightening and concentrated. It was like a deep abyss that gave others an extremely oppressive and suffocating feeling just from looking at him from afar.
The Eternal Wok Nine-Profundity .. This is his Artefak Spirit?
Instantly, Chen Xi thought of many things. According to rumors, this immortal wok had existed since primeval times, and it was a god weapon that might shake three dimensions, causing it to have an extremely frightening origin.
But Chen Xi was puzzled because the Heavenly Tree of Darkness Parasol and the Great Ant Emperor from ancient times had suffered calamities and fallen, so why were the Spirit Artifacts from this immortal wok able to survive until now?
“When the heart is impure, it is impossible to distinguish between immortals and demons, let alone dishes? Your mental state has been affected, so how can you distinguish the quality of the dish? ”The tall middle-aged man spoke in a voice that was like the rumbling of thunder, and he looked like a ruler who controlled the world while being covered by an immortal light.
Although his voice did not sound like he was scolding in a loud tone, the Fourth Elder and the others looked as if they were struck by lightning and revealed embarrassed expressions.
The other spirit chefs reached an understanding, and they felt even more shocked in their hearts. A dish capable of creating different dishes according to the differences in one's state of mind? Exactly how high did one's achievement in the Culinary Dao go to achieve this?
In just an instant, they were completely subdued by Chen Xi, and they did not have the slightest intention to feel displeased or suspicious anymore. Even the Nine-Profundity Immortal Wok had been alerted, and just this was enough to explain everything.
“This second chapter ends here, and this 'Unsettled Mind' is the first. "The tall middle-aged man spoke nonchalantly with a deep gaze while an immortal light curled up from him, and he decided on the result with this single sentence.
"Sage ancestor!" Tao Zhentian and the other elders knelt as they spoke respectfully.
"Sister, there is no need for you to participate in the final competition with your level in the Culinary Dao. Want to join me for a chat? '' The tall middle-aged man turned his head abruptly and looked at Chen Xi, and his tone subsided involuntarily.
Everyone in the hall was shocked and envious when they saw this small change. Exactly what ability did this child have to obtain such assistance from the Ancestor?
Chen Xi was stunned and pondered for a moment before she cupped her hands together. "By pleasure . ”
He vaguely sensed that the Artifact Spirit of the Nine-Profundity Eternal Wok had actually not come looking for him just because of the dish, Restless Mind, which he cooked.
…
The second half ended, and the top 100 list was placed all over the streets of Taotie City.
The person in first place on the list surprised Chen Xi!
Everyone in the city was shocked and exploded into a commotion when they saw this name.
Although the second round of the Spirit Chef Gold Rankings was not the last round, Chen Xi's name could actually appear in the first position, and it still made them feel it was unreasonable and question it.
He cheated!
He must be cheating!
Even the world-famous Master Qiu Feng was actually ranked under Chen Xi! Such an outcome was just a joke!
This caused everyone to feel that the Golden Rank Spirit Chef this time was filled with cunning tricks because no matter how terrifying Chen Xi's combat power was, how could he possibly compare to Master Qiu Feng in the Culinary Dao?
Some people felt angry and went to ask him with the spirit chefs participating in the second round, but they obtained an astonishing answer. Chen Xi's position as the first was actually personally assessed by the Nine Immortal Being!
This leaves most people speechless. It was the Nine-Profundity Immortal Wok! There was no need to go to great lengths to flatter Chen Xi with his identity! Clearly, it was impossible for him to act in such a manner.
Most shocking of all was that even Master Qiu Feng himself stated that Chen Xi's achievements in the Culinary Dao were incredible and far from his reach. Moreover, his tone even carried an unseen admiration as he said this.
Now, the entire Taotie City was stirred!
Everyone knew that not only did Chen Xi possess ferocious combat strength, even his cultivation in the Culinary Dao had actually reached the peak of perfection. Even Master Qiu Feng was embarrassed by his inferiority, while the Nine-Great Immortal Physique revealed its admiration towards him …
On the other hand, at this moment, Chen Xi was in a secret realm in the depths of Taotie Palace, and he was looking at the bronze box that the tall middle-aged man gave him with a shocked expression.
