491 For Fairness (1/2)

The moment the jar was opened, the stench erupted and assaulted the judge's face. The smell drilled into his nostrils and caused the judge's face, which was filled with curiosity, to stiffen.

The color of his face changed, turning from yellow to purple in an instant. It eventually turned black and he felt as though he was about to throw up.

What the hell was this odor? The mouth of that judge, whose face was filled with despair, swelled up. His eyes widened and he retreated back by several steps before falling down on his butt.

Bu Fang curled up the corners of his mouth as he looked at that judge. He casually retrieved several pieces of Stinky Tofu from inside the jar.

An intense stench was released from the Stinky Tofu as the pitch black marinade dripped out from them. The stench started to diffuse in the air and went further and further.

The judge finally understood why Bu Fang asked him such a question... Why didn't he distance himself from Bu Fang? How was I supposed to know that the earthen jar was filled with such a damnable object?

What the hell was the object in the jar? Excrement?

There were several people outside the arena whose eyes widened at this moment. It happened when they noticed the earthen jar which was in Bu Fang's hand.

It was precisely that jar… That was the jar which was filled with the strong stench and it caused them to fail the selections. Everything was this guy's fault!

They would never have expected that Bu Fang would dare to take out such a stinky object in the arena. Wasn't he afraid of causing public indignation? Was he not afraid to face everyone's rage?

Bu Fang waved his hand and covered those Stinky Tofu with his true energy before processing them.

Since Bu Fang wanted to attract the crowd's attention, he had to use the Stinky Tofu. After all, the stench of the Stinky Tofu had an extremely great power of attraction.

People were curious by nature. The moment the stench assaulted them, all of them would want to know where the smell came from. The moment he had their attention, wouldn't he have a good opportunity to promote his Cloud Mist Restaurant?

Bu Fang decided to use the Stinky Tofu due to all these reasons.

He believed in his own skill and he would make a name for himself with the Stinky Tofu's stench.

A piece of Stinky Tofu would be enough for him to pass this round of competition. It was also capable of attracting the crowd's attention. Not to mention the fact that he could make the Cloud Mist Restaurant's name more famous while doing so… Why wouldn't he use it?

The stench gradually started to spread around the arena and all of his competitors caught a whiff of the smell. The odor caused the hair on their entire bodies to stand on end.

”What kind of smell is this? Why is it so stinky?”

The expression of everyone on the arena sharply changed in an instant. All of the alchemists' complexion became filled with fright and panic.

While refining elixirs, they needed to connect with their alchemic flame with their mental force. They were not able to lose focus for even a moment. The appearance of that stench affected their mind and caused their mental force to become unstable.

However, they were alchemists and they were many times more powerful than the doctors who participated in the selection along with Bu Fang.

As such, even though they were affected by the smell, their furnaces didn't explode. However, they were all extremely angered by the smell as it had disrupted their concentration. All of them felt as though the sudden appearance of the stinky odor was unbearable. Especially when they were concentrating on refining an elixir.

They all turned their heads around angrily to look at the source of the stench.

At such a time, Bu Fang had a relaxed expression on his face as he continued to cook his Stinky Tofu. He intended to use the Sweet Spicy Stinky Tofu once again.

”This madman is actually boiling excrement in the arena!”

Everyone who was around Bu Fang widened their eyes and all of them had an angry expression on their face.

What angered them even more was that Bu Fang was actually using a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame to boil excrement… How could such a wasteful person exist in this world? That Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame was truly wasted in his hands.

They were so angered that their complexion and expression became somewhat distorted.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of medicine furnaces exploding filled the arena. Several doctors were not able to endure it anymore and their hands trembled. Their minds shook and their medicine furnaces exploded. Their medicinal paste splattered all around.

The alchemists were faring much better than the doctors and although their alchemic flames were flickering chaotically in their pill furnaces, they were able to keep it under control.

That judge, whose complexion was black, crawled up from the ground.

He was the one who was closest to Bu Fang when he opened the jar. He was obviously the one who smelled the worst part of the odor. The smell was truly… unbearable.

”What are you doing?” The judge was so angry that his lips were shivering.

He felt as though Bu Fang definitely took part in this competition in order to create trouble. How could such a stinky object have the same effect as an elixir??

Bu Fang looked at that judge calmly without uttering a word. He turned back to his wok and continued to cook his Stinky Tofu. After it was completely fried in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, the black Stinky Tofu had a light yellow luster around it.

Taking it out of the wok, Bu Fang placed it on a porcelain tray and sprinkled some bright juice on it. He also added some sweet and sour seasonings. After he was done, a tray of Sweet Spicy Stinky Tofu which had quite a beautiful appearance was completed.

”I have prepared my product.”

Bu Fang took a towel and wiped his hand before looking at the judge. He was calm when he spoke to the judge.

That judge, who was still enraged, was taken aback by Bu Fang's words.

You're done? Wasn't it too quick? Not even half an hour passed...

That judge restrained his anger and looked at the Sweet Spicy Stinky Tofu which Bu Fang prepared. Was this lad depending on this dish when he joined the Magical Hand Conference?

That judge took a deep breath. The moment he took a piece of the Stinky Tofu, the stench drilled into his nostrils once again. He couldn't help but cough several times… ”It's really too stinky!”
