499 The Scheming Chef (2/2)

A fluctuation sweep across the entire arena.

Senior Brother Zhang uttered a loud cry. He had finally finish refining his elixir. A line moved around his elixir, forming a fuzzy patter. It was very obvious that he had refined a one mark spirit pill.

Although the pattern was fuzzy, it was complete.

The alchemist from the Heavenly Shine City had also finished refining his elixir. His countenance was dispirited, and his eyes were dark. They were signs of overexertion.

The chief judge was finally able to relax. Two one mark spirit pills… It seemed there were now three people who could advance from this elimination round.

This time, he did not taste Bu Fang's dish first. Instead, he walked over to Senior Brother Zhang and the alchemist from Heavenly Shine City Alchemy. The chief judge wanted to test their elixirs first, so as to prevent undue delays.

The final result did not disappoint him.

Although the aroma of Bu Fang stage had plagued these alchemists at the final stage of their elixir refinement, the coagulating stage, almost causing their furnaces to explode, they were able to persevere and completely refine their elixirs. They were genius alchemists, after all.

Moreover, there was no need to elucidate the quality of a one mark spirit spill.

Thus, both alchemists really had advanced.

The chief judge heaved a sigh of relief. His turned his gaze towards Bu Fang, or rather, his gaze focused on the dish atop Bu Fang's bronze platform.

A big steamed red crab. The crab had been deshelled and filled with a piping hot fragrant broth. It appeared extremely enticing. The white crab meat and tangerine yellow crab egg were so distinct as they released rich fragrances.

It was so enticing…

The chief judge could not help admitting that the dish was visually captivating, and with the fragrant aroma wafting out of it, he just could not contain himself.

He walked up to Bu Fang and looked at him profoundly.

”This is the dish you made for this round? What is it called?”

”Steamed Ocean Crab,” Bu Fang replied nonchalantly.

Steamed crab?

The chief judge sucked in a mouthful of air. The fragrance of the crab stimulated his nasal cavity, causing him to gulp a mouth of saliva.

The aroma is just too fragrant... Can a steamed dish really be this aromatic?

As if he had noticed himself losing his self-control, the head judge coughed lightly. Subsequently, he took out a golden talisman. The moment the talisman was activated, a magic array appeared and enveloped the Steamed Ocean Crab.

Buzz…

A slight fluctuation spread out. The magic array instantly began to emit a bright radiance. Thereafter, the bright light began to rotate, and with each rotation, it glowed brighter!

”As expected... the spirit energy contained in this dish is so rich, it has exceeded a ninth grade elixir! It is simply unfathomable!”

When he saw the response from the magic array, the chief judge narrowed his eyes. It seemed that everything the previous judge had told him was actually the truth!

This chef… was no ordinary chef. His culinary skills were simply too abnormal!

Senior Brother Zhang and the alchemist from Heavenly Shine City also narrowed their eyes and involuntarily exhaled breathes of cold air.

The spirit energy in this dish was not any inferior to the spirit energies in their one mark spirit pills? Was this a joke?

”You can try it. You will only know its effects after you've tried it,” Bu Fang indifferently said to the astonished chief judge.

The head judge finally made a move. He took a quick glance at Bu Fang and grabbed a pair of chopsticks. The hand holding the chopsticks was visibly trembling.

How many years had it been since he tasted such a dish…

From the moment the Multi-Taste Fasting Pill Fasting Pill emerged, he had stopped eating food. However, he had gotten the opportunity to taste such an aromatic dish.

This had faintly stirred his emotions!

The crab meat was being irrigated by a piping hot broth, and a few crab legs were floating atop the broth, making the dish look rather adorable.

The chief judge inserted his chopstick into the dish and prod the crab meat. During the cooking process, Bu Fang had controlled the fire so well, the crab meat ended up extremely soft. One did not need much strength to peel the shell off the meat.

He pulled the shell off the meat, and the heat from within burst out. Within the white crab meat, there seemed to be translucent water vapor condensing. The vapor went on to form a misty ball that made the dish look captivating.

The chief judge used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fair crab meat, which he proceeded to dip into the broth that Bu Fang had poured atop the crab. The fragrance was so rich, the spectators could not help gulping down mouthfuls of saliva.

The members of the audience below stretched their necks higher, impatiently watching the chief judge move that bit of fair crab meat into his mouth.

”Ah…”

Some members of the audience were licking their lips, while others were drooling.

Do you have to make it so enticing?!

The audiences grumbled. They could look at the dish, but they could not taste it. This kind of sorrow was hard to describe.

Nethery's gaze was fixated at the dish. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and she tapped her exquisite foot on the ground. Instantly, she floated over to the stage, landing right beside Bu Fang.

”You can't eat this...This dish is for the competition,” Bu Fang said. However, he was taken aback by her sudden appearance. Why did this woman run over here?

The chief judge was completely captivated by the flavor of the dish. The delicate crab meat easily crumbled in his oral cavity, and its fragrance burst forth like a dragon, assaulting every part of his oral cavity. With his taste buds being assaulted, his breathing intensified.

The rich ocean flavor that had burst forth from just this mouthful of crab meat made the chief judge feel like he had been submerged in the ocean; the waves rushed at him, and their hazy moisture cleansed his body.

At that moment, he felt his corporeal body become extremely sturdy, and its muscles bulge. Only a mouthful of this crab meat was enough to strengthen his corporeal body by leaps and bounds!

The dish's overwhelmingly delicious taste aside, its effect alone was extraordinary!

It was simply... godlike!

Too delicious!

Taking advantage of the fact that the chief judge was still immersed in tasting his dish, Bu Fang whipped out the horizontal signboard and ruthlessly smashed it onto his bronze platform and his advertisement for the day.

While Bu Fang was advertising, no one knew when Nethery, who had been standing beside him, grabbed the huge steamed crab and began to eat it.

That scene, coupled with Bu Fang's advertisement, caused the enticement to increase dramatically!
