480 All of You Had No Idea About The Truth (2/2)

”If I wanted to spread my store's fame throughout Heavenly Mist City, how could I achieve it? Do you know of any shortcuts?” Bu Fang asked earnestly.

Nangong Wuque became lost in his thoughts.

Nethery finally finished eating an entire jar of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. She wiped her ruddy lips and placed the heavy jar on the table.

Thump...

The noise caused Nangong Wuque, who had been engrossed in his thoughts, to jump in fright.

As the Netherworld woman had eaten and drunk her fill, and was now quite satisfied, she got up and walked to the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree, where she proceeded to take a seat beside Lord Dog.

Although the grade of the Path-Understanding Fruit Tree was not high, it still emitted an aura that made the Netherworld woman and Lord Dog feel completely comfortable.

”I know a way to achieve it. My Nangong Family is one of Heavenly Mist City's top-notch families; we have countless industries, and it will be easy for the industries to promote a store. Many alchemists whose fame have resounded across Heavenly Mist City had only managed to reach that height because of our industries' promotions,” Nangong Wuque said.

Bu Fang's eyes lit up when he heard that.

”Then, can you promote my store?”

”I can, but it will be extremely difficult. Seeing as almost all of the Nangong Family's industries are related to alchemy and elixirs, it would be quite easy for us to promote an alchemist; their fame would quickly spread. However, if we tried promoting your store... Old Bu, you also know how bad the statuses of restaurants are in our Heavenly Mist City.”

Nangong Wuque said, feeling helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Bu Fang, but it was just that the price for trying was too great, and there might not be anyone who ended up caring about the restaurant in the end.

This was somewhat troubling!

Bu Fang furrowed his brows. Should he employ his previous tactic, and go to places where crowds are gathered and cook Stinky Tofu to attract their attention and spread his fame?

Succeeding through this tactic would be quite strenuous, and with how lazy Bu Fang was, he certainly did not wish to utilize this method.

”Big brother, isn't the Magical Hand Conference going to begin shortly?” Nangong Wan, who was still eating, suddenly spoke.

Nangong Wuque was first taken aback, then he cheerfully grasped Bu Fang's hand.

”Old Bu, what Little Wan said is certainly the case. You can participate in the Magical Hand Conference,” Nangong Wuque said. ”With your culinary skill and your mystical dishes, you will surely stand out. The conference is followed by almost everyone in the Pill Palace's territory, so if you get a good ranking in the conference, your name will certainly spread throughout Heavenly Mist City; no, it will resound throughout the entire Pill Palace.”

”The Magical Hand Conference?” Bu Fang asked in confusion as he calmly pulled his hand away from Nangong Wuque's grasp.

”It's a competition held by the Pill Palace, and all manner of people can participate; however, a majority of those participating are still alchemists. Nevertheless, they are still some people like doctors, poison masters and the likes who participate. Old Bu, a chef like you can also join and try your luck. Didn't you want to spread your store's reputation? This is a good opportunity with which to achieve it,” Nangong Wuque said.

”You will achieve it as long as you manage to reach the top ten. From then on, the competition will be broadcasted throughout the territory of the Pill Palace through some special arrays prepared by the Pill Palace. When that time comes, everyone will know you, and if you publicize your store only a bit, it will flourish.”

”Your speech seems quite logical and reasonable; I have no way of refuting it.”

Bu Fang's eyes lit up at the suggestion. Wasn't this the same commercial advertisements in his previous world?

”Well… Nangong Wuque, are you a pig? Almost everyone participating in the Pill Palace's Magical Hand Conference are genius alchemists; even Three Clouds alchemists may appear there. Do you seriously think that Owner Bu can reach top ten just by using culinary arts? Do you take those genius alchemists for some useless trash?”

Nangong Wan poured cold water on the elated duo when she saw them foolishly laughing by themselves.

Although Owner Bu's dishes were quite delicious and even had the effects of elixirs, an alchemist like Nangong Wan could still judge their effect. Even the most delicious and expensive Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was just tantamount to a ninth grade elixir. It was really lacking compared to a One-Mark Spirit Pill, let alone the higher-graded Two-Mark Spirit Pill and Three-Mark Spirit Pill.

The effects of these Spirit Pills could easily defeat the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup's effects.

If even the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup couldn't defeat these elixirs, then what would Owner Bu use to defeat those excellent alchemists?

Egg-Fried Rice or Sweet 'n' Sour Meat Ribs?

He really had no way to compete against those geniuses...

Nangong Wuque calmed down at that moment and came to the same conclusion that Nangong Wan did; hence, he could only smile helplessly at Bu Fang.

However, unlike them, Bu Fang was still calm. He curled up the corners of his mouth and looked at Nangong Wuque with a scorching gaze. ”How can I participate in that Magical Hand Conference?”

Egg-Fried Rice, Sweet 'n' Sour Meat Ribs, or Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup?

You all still haven't seen a true Elixir Cuisine!

You all have no idea about the truth.
