565 Looking Down on Chefs? Who Gave You the Confidence? (1/2)
Following Grandmaster Xuan Ming's order, the audience on the stage all gave a cry of joy. Those who were not chosen looked at those who were with faces full of admiration. There was an envious look in their eyes.
To be able to evaluate this type of elixir was such a great opportunity... The value of this type of elixir was very significant. How would they be able to taste something so good on other days?
At this time, the audience felt excited.
A smile blossomed on the faces of the audience members who were chosen. This was a six-mark spirit pill. Eating one of it, the benefits it brought to the body could not be described in words. Furthermore, it was Pill King Mu Bai's elixir. The value of the pill surged even more.
Grandmaster Xuan Ming's gaze swept over the audience members who were chosen. Nodding his head, his gaze fell on the completed spirit pill which was in front of him. That spirit pill was round and there was an azure brilliance emitted from it. The medicinal fragrance filled the area and assaulted his nose.
On top of the elixir, six streams of a golden shining mark could be seen. The elixir looked extremely cool.
From the distance, Mu Bai stood quietly and he had a confident expression in his eyes. His lips slightly curved upwards. His green attire made him look extremely refined.
Grandmaster Xuan Ming reached out his hand as he held up the elixir. The warm feeling traveled from his fingertips to his body and he felt a feeling which was similar to an electric shock. His heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like it was not too bad…
When he put the elixir into his mouth, a wave of spiritual energy instantly rushed toward the heavens. Grandmaster Xuan Ming and the grandmasters surrounding him all widened their eyes. A wave of spiritual energy seemed to spread out with Grandmaster Xuan Ming as the center.
In the next instant, the few grandmasters then closed their eyes, enjoying the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the elixir.
The audience also had the same attitude. After eating the medicinal powder, the power in their bodies soared in an instant, causing their state of mind to surge violently.
At this time, the entire scene was silent. The audience all looked at the postures of the many evaluators and didn't even dare to let out a heavy breath.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
After a long moment of silence, some people began to slowly open their eyes. The breathed out long breaths. In the next instant, chatter broke out among the evaluators. The audience members who were evaluating the product praised it without end. They looked at Mu Bai with surprised expressions on their faces.
As expected of Pill King Mu Bai. This six-mark spirit pill was indeed not ordinary... The evaluators were excited and they really wanted to crown Mu Bai the champion immediately. They really could not imagine that there would be any other kind of six-mark spirit pill which would surpass Mu Bai's elixir. In the eyes of these people, Bu Fang and Jiang Ling had already lost. There was no need for their dish or elixir to be evaluated; they had lost.
The five grandmasters also slowly opened their eyes.
”Quiet, hold your opinions. Next, begin the evaluation of contestant Jiang Ling's elixir, a six-mark spirit pill, the manifestation of nature pill.”
The grandmasters' knowledge and experience were naturally incomparable to the audiences'. After eating Mu Bai's elixir, they furrowed their eyebrows. They didn't look very optimistic.
Even Mu Bai himself froze. He didn't think that the grandmasters would have this kind of reaction. Could it be that he did not refine it well enough?
The clamoring audience once again settled down, but the excitement on their faces had not dissipated yet. Towards Jiang Ling's elixir, they also held expectations. After all, when that elixir exited the alchemy furnace, that scene was no weaker than Lord Mu Bai's one. It was obvious that this manifestation of nature pill was definitely not ordinary.
The audiences took the lead in taking the medicinal powder. Once the medicinal powder entered their mouths, the evaluators were all stunned. Their bodies froze and the disbelief in their eyes grew denser.
”This…”
”Such dense spiritual energy, what terrifying medicinal property… The taste of Lord Mu Bai's spirit pill has been washed away in an instant…”
”What a terrifying spirit pill. It seems as though it reached the apex of six-mark spirit pills. Do you feel the surging spiritual energy in your body? Compared to Lord Mu Bai's elixir, this medicinal property… is even more terrifying!”
…
The evaluators all looked at each other and saw the incredulous expression in each other's eyes.
Grandmaster Xuan Ming and the rest also ate the elixir. Their brows instantly jumped, and the pores on their body seemed to emit true energy. They were stunned in their hearts and opened their eyes to look at Jiang Ling in the distance.
Jiang Ling elegantly and loftily nodded her head at these few grandmasters. Her confident look moved the grandmasters.
The clamor of the audience slowly descended into silence. They seemed to have realized that something was wrong as the evaluators had strange expressions on their faces. The hearts of the audience members started to shake.
The ending seemed to be different from that in their hearts.
”What's going on? Don't tell me Lord Mu Bai is going to lose?”
”No way… An elixir refined with the Pill Master's Nine Star Alchemy Furnace cannot possibly lose, right?”
”Hiss hiss hiss... Is Lord Mu Bai going to lose again? Here I still thought that he was going to redeem himself from his past humiliation!”
…
The audience talked among themselves quietly. At that instant, Mu Bai's face became ash-white.
Bu Fang looked at him curiously. As if feeling Bu Fang's gaze, Mu Bai looked over with an ugly expression on his face and it was completely devoid of blood.
”I think I might lose…” Mu Bai said to Bu Fang dryly.
Bu Fang froze. He was going to lose?
He turned to look at the judge's seats. When he saw the hesitation on the faces of the evaluators, he felt that something was wrong as well. Raising his head, he saw that the five grandmasters were talking among themselves. They were chattering non-stop.
In the end, as if reaching a conclusion, they sat upright and still.
”The evaluation of Mu Bai and Jiang Ling's elixirs is over. Now, let's have these ladies and gentlemen start voting. On your seats, there are two magic arrays. The one on the left represents Mu Bai and the one on the right represents Jiang Ling. Choose whoever you think won.”
Grandmaster Xuan Ming said.
As his voice descended, the entire central plaza's atmosphere suddenly became very tense. Not only were the audience members of Heavenly Mist City's central plaza watching the competition closely, but even the audience from the Pill Palace was also extremely excited. They clenched their fist and perspiration formed on their foreheads.
Exactly who would win?
Was it Mu Bai or Jiang Ling... Between these two, no matter who won, it was possible for them to be the champion. How could they not be nervous?
The five hundred evaluators all looked at each other and raised their palms eventually. They transmitted their true energy into the magic array of their choice.
