Chapter 1715 - The Nine-Marks Chaotic Tea Egg (2/2)

At that moment, Countess Xia Qiu’s eyes lit up. She was looking forward to this tea egg. However, she did not want to be targeted by the Queen of Curses because of it.

With both hands, she performed an incantation gesture. Then, an array appeared, spinning and soaring into the sky. It was an array that could block the Queen’s probing. Such an array was extremely precious, yet she used it here so that she could eat the egg.

The array spread with a rumble and enveloped the entire Countess Residence in a flash, covering everything under it like an upside-down golden bowl. Now, no aura could leak to the outside world, and no spiritual probing could find out anything inside.

Bu Fang did not pay attention to this. He had focused all his attention on the tea egg as it was not that easy to complete the cooking of this dish.

He sat cross-legged down, facing the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. On his forehead, his mental force surged and kept pouring out. His spirit was under a powerful impact.

The tea egg was spinning. Soon, divine marks emerged on its surface. They kept spreading. One, two, three… Before long, nine divine marks appeared on the egg. They seemed to have gathered all the energy from myriad realms and worlds, which sublimated the tea egg.

A bright light illuminated the surroundings and made the ordinary-looking tea egg no longer ordinary. At the same time, a chaotic aura, which could only be emanated by a Chaotic Saint, permeated the air.

Bu Fang sat cross-legged on the ground. His eyes were closed, while a tremendous amount of energy flowed inside his spirit sea. Golden light converged as a wisp of Chaotic Energy slowly grew in his mind.

Finally, he opened his eyes. The System’s voice rang in his head, ‘Congratulations, Host. You have completed a dish that can be included in the God of Cooking’s Menu, and because of that, you have acquired a wisp of Chaotic Energy.’

The long-lost System’s voice was no longer as serious as it was in the past, but it was familiar and comforting to Bu Fang.

The Chaotic Energy brought a tremendous transformation to Bu Fang. Although it had not pushed him into the Chaotic Saint realm from the Saint of the Great Path realm, it made him one step closer to that goal.

All modern-day Heavengods were Chaotic Saints, and Bu Fang was getting closer and closer to this realm. The higher the grade of the dish he cooked, the more Chaotic Energy he could obtain. This, to him, was no doubt good news. It meant that he could improve his cultivation base by cooking higher-grade dishes.

However, at his current level, it had become extremely difficult to cook higher-grade dishes.

Bu Fang’s transformation naturally attracted Countess Xia Qiu’s attention. She never knew that cooking could increase an individual’s cultivation base.

The tea egg was done. The water in the wok had dried up, and the only things left inside were the egg, which hovered at the center, and the dregs of those divine herbs.

This egg had gathered a rich amount of essences. It included the energy of the divine egg, as well as the essence of countless divine herbs. Most importantly, it had the elegant aroma of tea. When the fragrance spread, mixed with the delicious aroma of the egg, it intoxicated many people.

Countess Xia Qiu was very familiar with the tea’s aroma because she drank it every day. However, after combining with the aroma of the egg, it became something foreign to her, so she was somewhat curious.

Rumble!

Her eyes narrowed slightly. The birth of the tea egg had attracted natural phenomena. There was lightning even in Void City. The moment these primitive tribulations of heaven and earth emerged, Countess Xia Qiu’s expression changed.

If such fluctuations attracted the Queen of Curses’ attention, everything would be over. However, perhaps it was because of the array, the tribulations left just as quickly as they came. Just when Countess Xia Qiu was startled, the lightning punishment had disappeared.

Bu Fang, sitting in the middle of the courtyard, slowly opened his eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be Chaotic Energy flowing in them.

Countess Xia Qiu was slightly startled when she saw the Chaotic Energy.

Bu Fang rose to his feet, walked up to the black wok, and took out the tea egg. It was very hot, but he did not mind. Carefully, he peeled the shell off the egg that was as large as a soccer ball.

In the distance, the huge turkey that was pinned to the ground by Whitey bristled. “A divine phoenix egg is cooked?!” It was terrified. However, Whitey’s huge palm pressed it so hard that it could not move at all.

The eggshell fell. Drops of glowing broth trickled down the surface of the egg that looked like soft jade. Bu Fang produced the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and cut the egg into three parts, each containing a brownish-red egg white and a yolk wrapped in a glowing gray layer.

A strong aroma of egg combined with the fragrance of tea filled the air, tickling the senses of all those present.

Bu Fang took out a blue-and-white porcelain plate and placed the three portions of tea egg. He then decorated the plate with a few tea leaves fresh with dew. Finally, he turned and nodded at Countess Xia Qiu.

“The Nine-Marks Chaotic Tea Egg is… ready,” he said lightly.

With the completion of the dish, a terrible aura descended. Countess Xia Qiu’s figure flashed and appeared at Bu Fang’s side. Her eyes were filled with a serious look, and she seemed to be listening.

Bu Fang frowned. All the people inside the array were quite nervous at that moment. What made them so nervous? The Queen of Curses, of course.

Time passed. Eventually, Countess Xia Qiu breathed out a sigh of relief. The Queen did not respond. It seemed that the array had succeeded in blocking her perception.

Then, Countess Xia Qiu stared curiously and heatedly at the tea eggs in Bu Fang’s hand.
