973 Immortal Ingredient, Eighty the Chicken? (1/2)

\”Brother, do you want to leave?\” Xuanyuan Xuan asked Xuanyuan Xiahui, who had worn casual clothes instead of his chef coat.

Xuanyuan Xiahui meticulously rolled his sleeves up before flashing Xuanyuan Xuan a smile.

\”Today's the day Owner Bu takes the Immortal Chef test. Of course, I want to go and watch. Wanna go with me?\”

Xuanyuan Xuan pondered for a few seconds before saying, \”Brother, do you think Bu Fang stands a chance to become an Immortal Chef?\”

This made Xuanyuan Xiahui go quiet for a short while.

\”Tough. First, Bu Fang's cultivation base has yet to reach the True Immortal Realm, so this can be considered a shackle on him. Second, he doesn't possess an Immortal Flame, and this can be considered as another shackle. If he had both, it would be easier for him to become an Immortal Chef. So, considering those two factors, Owner Bu's chance of success is just twenty percent,\” Xuanyuan Xiahui explained with a smile.

It wasn't easy to get such an achievement. He needed to accumulate energy, competence, and chances.

Immortal Chefs occupied positions of nobility in the Immortal Cooking Realm. However, it came with some reasons.

Nevertheless, Bu Fang had to become an Immortal Chef.

If Bu Fang couldn't become an Immortal Chef, he would have no chance to get rid of the Tongs.

Tong Chen had been an Immortal Chef for a long time, and his reputation was vast and well-known. Even if Xuanyuan Xiahui got involved, he would not be considered a threat.

He couldn't help Bu Fang. If Bu Fang could not become an Immortal Chef, he would be unable to help him, and the same could be said for the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion.

\”Okay, Brother. I'm going with you.\” Xuanyuan Xuan made her decision after thinking about it.

Shortly after, they closed their restaurant and set off for the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion.

…

Outside the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion

Everybody watched a lean figure casually strolling forward. His Vermillion Robe fluttered in the wind.

With an indifferent face, Bu Fang clasped his hands as he walked forward calmly, ignoring the intense gazes from the onlookers.

\”The mortal actually came!\”

\”Very arrogant! Does he really think that the Immortal Chef test is easy?\”

\”Every Immortal Chef has experienced countless training sessions to accumulate abundant experience, so they had greater chances. What qualification does this mortal have?\”

The onlookers discussed among themselves. They all shared a disdain for Bu Fang, so none of them evaluated him highly.

A lot of people from aristocratic families had also arrived. Somehow, they all looked pensive.

Bu Fang, a human who had the courage and dared to stand against the Tong family, had earned their admiration.

There were many strong families in Immortal City. Some were at their peak of glory, some were declining, and others remained ordinary. The Tongs belonged to the group at the peak of glory, and they held a high position among them.

The Tong family, the Gongshu family, the Zhang family, and the Luo family were the four most influential families in Immortal City. They were as influential as the City Lord.

The City Lord, the Mu family, could be considered another powerful family.

In Immortal City, these influential families were the law.

A mortal dared to resist such a family… was blatant provocation to them.

Mu Liuer arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion, which was surrounded by experts awaiting Bu Fang's arrival.

Everyone was a little curious about the special grade chef who had triggered the Immortal Chef test.

With an indifferent expression, Bu Fang's cold gaze scanned the crowd.

The expressions on their faces weren't similar, but they all looked complicated. However, this sort of countenance couldn't shake his mind.

\”Come here,\” Mu Liuer said, smiling at Bu Fang. Her eyes seemed to contain a hint of something strange, as though she had some sort of expectation for him.

Bu Fang expressionlessly nodded.

However, he was a little annoyed. If he were allowed to take the Immortal Chef test before, he wouldn't have to come here again.

\”Follow me.\”

Bu Fang's indifference no longer surprised Mu Liuer. She nodded and led him inside the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion.

This stirred up the others, who followed them inside. At that moment, a crowd was walking through the entrance.

Manager Chen was waiting for Bu Fang in front of the room where the Immortal Chef test was held.

Previously, Manager Chen had been waiting for Xuanyuan Xiahui, and now, he was waiting for Bu Fang.

\”Are you ready? This Immortal Chef test relates to your life. If you succeed, you can live, but if you fail, you will face the wrath of the Tong family,\” said Manager Chen to Bu Fang while stroking his beard.

He could not see through this mortal chef.

After eating Bu Fang's dish back at his restaurant, Manager Chen became more curious about him and anticipated his performance today.

This mortal could create miracles.

\”Well, I'm ready. The sooner I begin, the sooner I win. I'm in a hurry,\” Bu Fang replied.

Manager Chen was shocked. After staring at Bu Fang for a while, he turned around and led him into the room.

With a loud squeak, the room's doors were pushed open.

A loud creak rang out. Apparently, this test room was incredibly old.

This room, which was to be used for the Immortal Chef test, was a little bigger than the room used for the special grade chef test.

Bu Fang sauntered into the room, and soon, he reached the center where a stove had been set above a station.

The stove seemed ancient, and it looked like it was made of some special materials. As soon as he reached the stove, he felt his mind relax and calm down.

Bu Fang was a little thrilled. This stove seemed powerful.

\”System, do you see this kitchen? It helps a chef quiet their mind. It's really good,\” Bu Fang said to the system.

However, even after a long while had passed, the system did not reply. Apparently, it was too lazy to answer him.

Bu Fang had already predicted that the system would not answer him. With its miserly personality, how could it agree to prepare a better stove for him?

With his hands clasped, Bu Fang stood in front of the stove, his mind calm. He began to prepare as the recipe stated.

Meanwhile, the audience squeezed and pushed past each other to find a seat, and soon, the place was filled.

There were no more empty seats, yet people still pushed forward, coming into the watertight room.

The members of the aristocratic families sat with their legs crossed, grinning as they watched Bu Fang in the center.

If the mortal, Bu Fang, could become an Immortal Chef, his value would increase drastically. He would no longer be ordinary.

Hence, many influential families were paying attention to this test.
