974 Soup Dumplings Complete, Lightning Punishment Arrives (1/2)
Bu Fang's possession of an immortal ingredient, Precious Chicken, had exceeded the audience's expectations.
It was only natural that not everyone present knew about that immortal ingredient.
However, not everyone present was ordinary. There were two Immortal Chefs seated amidst the audience.
Tong Cheng, the Young Master of the Tong family, had a vast amount of knowledge, so of course he had heard about the cooking ingredient called Precious Chicken.
The Immortal Tree was located at the center of Immortal City. Its lush branches and leaves continuously absorbed heaven and earth spirit energy to bear fruits. Occasionally, cooking ingredients appeared within the fruits, which were called immortal ingredients.
Someone had once opened a fruit from the Immortal Tree and found a Precious Chicken within.
That chicken was of a higher level than Bu Fang's. Its spirit energy was dense, and it even possessed immortal energy.
Meanwhile, Eighty could not escape its fate. Grabbing Eighty by the neck, Bu Fang quickly captured it.
The chicken's small tear-filled eyes gazed at Bu Fang.
However, Bu Fang remained expressionless.
\”Why did you run away? I just need one leg from you. It will grow back soon, so behave. When I send you back to the farmland, I will ask Niu Hansan to take care of you well,\” Bu Fang said.
Eighty was completely bewildered. How about you lend me one of your legs then?!
\”Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!\”
Soon after, Eighty screeched like a pig being butchered.
\”Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!\”
When Bu Fang was done, the golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife flashed, peeling off the chicken skin. He minced the chicken meat, then poured it into the blue-and-white porcelain bowl.
After that, he stirred the contents of the bowl, which was a mixture of five different spirit beast meat.
Gurgle. Gurgle.
The broth in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok began to boil, and its color became a smooth ivory hue.
Bu Fang checked the flame, then proceeded to pour the broth into the blue-and-white porcelain bowl.
The broth was enough to fill the bowl, radiating a milky halo.
With a single thought, Bu Fang's spirit sea surged instantly, and it sounded like the roaring of multiple spirit beasts.
Bu Fang stirred his mental force, causing the heat emanating from the bowl to reduce.
Rumble! Rumble!
The soup in the bowl began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, it resembled jelly.
The cabbage that was as translucent as water was cleaned thoroughly and minced. Then, Bu Fang poured it into the bowl, which contained the mixture of five different spirit beast meat.
While stirring the meat mixture, Bu Fang prepared many spices.
He added in half a spoon of Abyssal Chili Sauce, a spoon of Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew, some Son Mother Ginger, some Purple Garlic, and other spices.
With that, the dumpling filling was done.
The next step was to prepare the dumpling wrapper.
Bu Fang poured the flour onto the countertop, piling it as high as a small mountain.
He rolled up the sleeves of his Vermilion Robe, revealing his fair arms.
Rattle. Rattle.
Bu Fang poured some Frost Blaze Path-understanding Brew on the mountain of flour. This made the peak of the flour cave in.
Then, he began to knead the flour with both hands.
After kneading for a while, the flour had become a big ball of dough.
The next step was the most important one.
As the audience watched Bu Fang use these by-the-book cooking techniques, they frowned.
Since the Immortal Chef test started, besides Bu Fang's knife skill, nothing else had surprised them.
It seems that he really was no different from normal special grade chefs.
Even Xuanyuan Xiahui furrowed his brows in doubt.
However, Manager Chen's gaze remained fixed on Bu Fang, analyzing every step of his cooking.
The longer he watched, the more he furrowed his brows.
\”With a display of this level, it will be really hard for him to become an Immortal Chef. This kid... What is he doing?\” Manager Chen mumbled.
The members of the aristocratic families began to look pensive.
Tong Chen, on the other hand, remained indifferent. He continued to roll the jade bead between his fingers.
\”Making soup dumplings… is not difficult at all!\”
\”That mortal chef is making soup dumplings? Has he decided to give up on his Immortal Chef test?\”
\”He has only attained this much, yet he wants to be an Immortal Chef? What a fool. I can beat ten guys like him all at once!\”
The audience began to clamor again, and many began to boast disdainfully.
Bu Fang's cooking method was too simple. He had done nothing noteworthy at all.
The noise from the audience was growing louder by the second.
They did not seem to care if Bu Fang was affected by their uproar. At his level, even if he was not affected, it was unlikely he could become an Immortal Chef. Hence, bothering him like this should not be a problem, right?
This was a thought they all shared.
The moment they thought one had lost his qualification to compete, they would not show him any mercy.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a loud explosion overwhelmed the noise from the audience.
Everyone was startled, and their gazes instantly shifted to the stove in the middle of the room.
In an instant, their jaws dropped, disbelief filling their eyes.
White flour was hovering around Bu Fang.
Bu Fang's intimidating mental force erupted. Currently, his cultivation base has reached the peak of Divine Spirit Realm, and without the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, his mental force could be compared to One-star True Immortal Realm. If he used the spirits of his God of Cooking Set, his mental force would rival a Two-star True Immortal Realm expert.
The amount of mental energy surging out of Bu Fang was extremely terrifying, and the audience seemed to see an immense, turbulent sea.
Boom!
The black-and-white bandage in Bu Fang's arm loosened and floated, swirling around his body.
He slowly raised his arm that was filled with Taotie drawings.
The powerful force surging from that arm seemed capable of smashing apart the world in one punch.
A moment later, his fist struck the stove station fiercely.
Manager Chen and the others winced. They felt every corner of the room tremble from the force of that punch.
The dough on the stove station, which Bu Fang had punched, exploded.
Immediately, his surging mental force controlled the scattering dough to coalesce.
Then, Bu Fang's pupils dilated. He raised his arm again, then it smashed downward once more.
The entire station quaked.
Manager Chen felt a twinge in his balls. The stove used in this Immortal Chef test wasn't ordinary. It was an immortal tool!
It was a tool grown from the Immortal Tree, so its value was extraordinary!
His heart lurched whenever Bu Fang violently punched the stove.
As for the audience, they were petrified by Bu Fang's actions.
What's that mortal chef doing?
They were only just talking about the by-the-book cooking techniques he had used so far, and now, he had turned violent. What's going on?
