The true energy vortex within his body was almost dried up. Bu Fang's complexion became slightly pale and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Buzz …
A strange fluctuation surged out from the steamer. Bu Fang's eyes suddenly lit up. He loosened his grip on the steamer and cut off the flow of true energy. He took a step back and let out a long sigh.
"It's finally done. My true energy was almost used up. This dish requires too much true energy cultivation level." Bu Fang muttered to himself. His cultivation level was only at fifth grade Battle-King, which was far from enough. For some high-grade ingredients, cooking with true energy could even drain him dry.
Fortunately, Bu Fang reckoned that his recent turnover was about to reach a breakthrough. Once he reached sixth grade Battle-Emperor, his total amount of true energy would increase by a lot.
When that time came, he would be able to cook with true energy and handle high-grade ingredients more easily.
Looking at the steamer that was emitting thick steam and emitting a rich fragrance, Bu Fang could not help but lick his lips. This fragrance had a kind of enticing power that made him want to gorge himself.
When the lid of the steamer was opened, thick steam immediately rushed out and hit the ceiling. It spread out, accompanied by a fragrance and a strange fluctuation that could clear one's mind.
Waving his hand to disperse the steam in front of him, Bu Fang's gaze fell on the steamer.
There was a faint radiance emerging from within the steamer. The radiance was not dazzling, but it was slightly obscure.
"A dish that emits light." The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up as he felt a sense of accomplishment.
When the dish was taken out from the steamer, the scalding heat made Bu Fang exhale lightly.
The dish was placed on the stove. The light from the kitchen shone on the dish as if it was reflecting light, dazzling one's eyes.
On the blue and white porcelain plate was a fat fish. It was a vivid and lifelike fish that seemed to have come to life.
Thick vitality and strange fluctuations circulated on the fish's body. As steam rose, it seemed as if it was riding on clouds. The fish's fins slightly swayed and flapped.
Cloud patterns gathered above the dish like layers of clouds, and the fish looked like a dragon swimming in the clouds.
This was a very eye-catching dish. At least, when Bu Fang saw this dish, he was amazed.
This was the charm of cooking. No one could predict what the final product would be like.
"This dish … somewhat exceeds my expectations. It's very beautiful," Bu Fang muttered. Then, he began to think about the name of this dish.
"Steamed Enlightenment Fish? Hmm … that sounds a little too straightforward. Is that called 'Leaping through the Dragon's Gate'? Not bad, we can have that. "
Bu Fang's eyes were shining brightly. He decided on the final name of this dish: Jumping over the Dragon Gate.
The fat fish that ate the Path-Understanding Fruit began to leap through the dragon gate, which was quite symbolic.
"System, what's your evaluation of this dish?" Bu Fang asked expectantly.
This time, the system did not immediately give Bu Fang an answer. It was silent for a long time before it solemnly said, "Dish name: Jumping over the Dragon Gate. Chef: Host Bu Fang. Dish spirit energy content: 90%. Path-Understanding factor: 90%. Final evaluation: After a seventh grade Battle-Saint consumes it, he will definitely break through to eighth grade War-God. Therefore, evaluation passed."
Snap!
As soon as the system finished speaking, the corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up. He snapped his fingers to express his delight.
It was indeed passed. The process of making this Jumping over the Dragon Gate seemed simple, but every step was a test of the chef's foundation. Be it the handling of the fish at the beginning or the control of true energy during the steaming process.
The requirements of every step were extremely strict. There was no room for error. Once a mistake was made, it would be easy to waste all previous efforts.
In order to control the spirit energy content of the dish, Bu Fang used the steaming method. This method was the easiest to preserve the spirit energy of the ingredients. In order to preserve the Path-Understanding factor, Bu Fang first smeared the juice of the Path-Understanding Fruit into the fish. This way, the Path-Understanding factor would be perfectly preserved after steaming, and would not be lost like when it was cooked.
Taking a deep breath, Bu Fang suppressed the joy in his heart.
"System, since this dish has passed the evaluation, it means that the temporary task has been completed, right? Then this dish … can I choose to sell it? "
"Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary task: Using the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit to create a dish and passing the evaluation of the system. The task reward will be issued soon. The dish is allowed to be sold. The system is evaluating the dish's price …"
This time, the evaluation of the dish did not take long before the system gave an answer.
"Jumping over the Dragon Gate, elixir cuisine, price: 555 crystals."
Bu Fang was taken aback. 555 crystals for a dish, this was the most expensive dish the system had evaluated so far.
Gulp. Bu Fang's heart suddenly burned with passion. If this dish was sold, then his turnover would directly meet the requirements for promotion.
Holding the Jumping over the Dragon Gate, Bu Fang slowly walked toward the store.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, a slender and thin figure slowly walked out from the shadows of the kitchen.
Bu Fang's hands carried a dish that was overflowing with color, emitting thick steam and a fragrant aroma.
The dish was beautiful, as if it was riding on the clouds, and one could not help but be mesmerized.
Zhan Kong and Bian Changkong also walked in from the door with their fists clenched. Both of their faces revealed a satisfied expression.
In the alleyway, the Ghost Chef Wang Ding was incomparably miserable. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and he was constantly coughing up blood. His breath was on the verge of collapsing.
His eyes were spitting fire, but more than that, there was fear.
Bu Fang placed the dish on the table, and a rich aroma slowly spread out, slowly lingering in the store, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Owner Bu … Is this a dish made from the Path-Understanding Fruit?"
The Old Drunkard put down his wine gourd, staring at the dish with wide eyes, and could not help but ask.
Bu Fang nodded lightly, and looked at the crowd, "This dish is made from the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit, and it can definitely help a seventh grade Battle-Saint step into the realm of eighth grade War-God."
Hiss hiss hiss!
As soon as Bu Fang's words came out, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air. Even the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit could not guarantee a seventh grade Battle-Saint would step into the eighth grade, but Bu Fang dared to say that a dish could definitely help a seventh grade Battle-Saint step into the eighth grade … How confident was he?
"Owner Bu must be joking … How could there be such a mysterious dish in this world?" The Old Drunkard was in disbelief, and so were the others.
Bu Fang pulled out a chair, sat down, and let out a long breath. Making this Dragon Gate Leap had consumed a lot of his physical strength and experience.
"Hmm … This dish, this store will only make it once. In the future, even if you want to try it, you will not have the chance, so it is very precious. As for the effect of the dish, you can eat it first. If it does not guarantee a hundred percent breakthrough, then you don't have to pay."
Bu Fang's tone was calm, but it was full of confidence, full of confidence in his dish.
The crowd could not help but look at the Dragon Gate Leap seriously, and their minds were drawn in.
"I wonder how much this dish costs?" Zhan Kong asked with a frown.
This was also a question that the crowd was curious about, so they all looked at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang curled the corner of his mouth, raised his slender and fair finger, and pointed at the menu behind the crowd.
The crowd was taken aback, and turned their heads to look. Their pupils shrank, and then they all cried out in surprise.
"Five thousand five hundred and fifty crystals for a dish?!"
"Oh my god! This … How could this dish be so expensive?! "
"Owner Bu … You are extorting and blackmailing us!"
...
The crowd was shocked by the price of the Dragon Gate Leap. Five thousand five hundred and fifty crystals for a serving, it was comparable to the net worth of an ordinary seventh grade Battle-Saint.
However, in the eyes of experts like Zhan Kong, Bu Fang's dish was actually not expensive, and could even be considered cheap.
If it could really help a Battle-Saint break through to the Battle-God level, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was cheap.
"There is only one serving of this dish. Whether you buy it or not, you only have one chance. This store will not make this dish in the future," Bu Fang said.
"Owner Bu, I will buy this dish." Zhan Kong said without hesitation. He had promised to get a Path-Understanding Fruit for Wu Yunbai. Since he could not get the Path-Understanding Fruit, he had to buy this dish.
"I will buy it too," Bian Changkong said.
The two of them had been fighting over the Path-Understanding Fruit, and this time, they were competing over the price.
"Owner Bu … I, I want to buy it too!" Xiao Meng looked at the Dragon Gate Leap with excitement, and said to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang did not answer him.
There was only one dish, but there were many people. The final decision … would depend on who offered the highest price.
And when it came to the price.
The old drunkard drank a mouthful of wine, slammed the wine gourd on the table, and laughed wildly. "Ten thousand crystals, I will buy it!"
