Chapter 155 - The Power of the Sect (2) (2/2)

They couldn't help but look at the top seat again. They all heard how the Sect Master turned the Emperor from a cripple to an Emergent Stage Master. All under a year. Their hearts burned with fire and determination. They all lined up perfectly well to start their test.

Xiang He sat back down and sighed. Although it look simple, it took quite a large amount of energy from him. It wasn't until a couple of days ago, when he finally able to conjure that many fireballs. So far, this was his peak. Yi Ling nodded towards her direct disciples. Knowing that she wasn't wrong in choosing Xiang He as her direct disciple.

Minzhe couldn't help but be envious. How unfair was this?! Although he was more powerful than Xiang He, he couldn't summon one bit of Element. The thing he did earlier, was only pulling out what was already there. Not something like summoning out of thin air. He could only sighed. His father had told him that sooner, he would be able to. How long though? He is already more than 800 years old!

There were at least 600 of them. If everyone had a 3 hours time limit, they would all finish after 9 hours. By then, the sun would be setting. Working on the dark would be difficult. The Elder said that the faster the weapon is made, the better it was for them. But if the weapon is built that fast, what would be the quality of it? It was indeed a wise test. Not only how fast they could make one, but also making sure that the quality was also on par.

The best option would be to make a concealed knife or a dagger and most of them had the same ideas. How do they make their own weapons to stand out though? This was a question too. Some of them looked at the ones on their right. The cooks had yet to receive their tests.

-----

Linyu and Haoran stood tall in front of more than 400 people. In a short amount of time, the servants that Xiang He brought built at least 200 stoves.

Truth be told, A cultivator didn't need to eat. Cultivators above Nascent stage doesn't feel hunger anymore. Dawning Stage would still feel hunger but not as much. Why they decided to hire cooks was for admonishing Medical Food. This was one of the things that Yi Ling had discovered. Mixing regular food with herbs was normal for most doctors. Foods with rare herbs was considered luxury. If there was people who even dare used the rare spiritual herbs with food, most likely it would be the people from the high-ranked kingdoms.

What Yi Ling wasn't short of was spiritual herbs. Eating one of them could boost someone's strength and other effects. It all depends on the ingredients. But for this test, of course the taste should also be excellent. After all, Cultivators eat them because they love the tastes!

"For this test, you are all going to make some Medical Dishes. In front of you, are a variety of herbs, rare herbs and some spiritual herbs. This would test not only the taste of your dishes but also your knowledge about herbs. You may think that this is unfair, since you all aren't doctors nor alchemist. But herbs can be considered as vegetables.

So to maximize this, you would all have to work in two's. You and your partner would have to present three dishes. One dish each for your specialties and the third one would be a collaboration. Remember though, if you are planning on using the rare and spiritual herbs, you may only grab certain amount of them. The disciples of our Medical Court would be supervising you.

You will all have 4 hours to make this dish. Let's start!". Linyu looked at Xiang He and he nodded.

This time, he didn't have to stand up. He only snapped his fingers and flints of fire directly hitted the woods on the stove. Slowly, they started a fire. This time, the people weren't as shock anymore. They slowly clapped their hands and bowed towards the Emperor.

This Sect was indeed so powerful!
