On top of the towering city walls of Mo Luo City, several figures were proudly standing there.
Hu Yifeng was wearing a scholarly white robe, but his hair was in a mess. Beside him were the brothers of the Thirteen Bandits of Mozhou. However … their numbers had decreased significantly.
"We, the Thirteen Bandits of Mozhou, have never suffered such a huge loss before. If we were to flee with our tails between our legs, I would be letting down our deceased brothers." Hu Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot and the vicious aura he exuded was somewhat incompatible with his attire.
Of the Thirteen Bandits of Mozhou, only seven brothers were left. Five of them had fallen on the battlefield and were killed by King Yu's troops.
"That black-robed expert from King Yu's troops … Even if I die, I will drag him to hell with me!"
Beside him, the remaining bandits all had mournful looks on their faces. The seventh master had lost an arm. As he looked at the oppressive army that was charging toward Mo Luo City, a hint of madness flashed through his eyes.
...
Bu Fang did not notice Tang Yin's arrival. Instead, he continued to concentrate on cooking. His figure was very calm as he skillfully held onto the large ladle and stirred the four pots, causing the fragrance to surge out from the pots.
"Owner Bu? Senior Bu? " Tang Yin's gaze was slightly dull and doubtful. He wondered if he was hallucinating. How could Owner Bu appear in the Northwest Territory?
However, looking at the person who was as calm as ever and his proficient cooking skills, Tang Yin was certain that this person was Owner Bu. That was because Owner Bu's temperament was simply too obvious.
Zhu Yue felt that Tang Yin's gaze was a little strange. He followed Tang Yin's gaze and saw the young man who was cooking. Wasn't he just a young man?
"Sir … His name is Bu Fang. He's … he's the new cook." Wei Dafu slightly bowed and hurriedly said, "This newcomer is a little arrogant and unruly, so he still needs to temper his temper a little. Let him stay in the cooking position for now."
"A newcomer? It is normal for a newcomer to be a little arrogant. However, this kid really has the ability to be arrogant. His skill … is indescribable. "Zhu Yue nodded his head. As he sniffed the fragrance that permeated the air, a look of admiration appeared on his face.
However, when Tang Yin heard Wei Dafu's words, his expression became increasingly strange. He turned his head to look at Wei Dafu and indifferently said: "Arrogant and unruly? Whetting your temper? "
"That's … that's right." Wei Dafu stuttered as he was stared at by Tang Yin.
Tang Yin turned his head and coldly smiled. Then, he tidied up his clothes and solemnly walked toward Bu Fang.
Zhu Yue and Wei Dafu looked at each other. A bad premonition surged in Wei Dafu's heart. Could it be that senior knows that brat? Could it be that the kid is a junior that Senior knows?
Wei Dafu's heart thumped, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
The four woks were all boiling. The ingredients inside were boiling and emitting steam.
Suddenly, Bu Fang pulled out the iron ladle in his hand. With a twist of his hand, the lids of the four woks were covered, concealing the fragrance.
After doing all this, Bu Fang raised his head and looked at the three people walking toward him.
He knew both Wei Dafu and Zhu Yue. However, the one walking in front … was even more familiar.
"Senior … What a coincidence."
Tang Yin walked in front of Bu Fang and respectfully cupped his hands. Tang Yin had always been respectful toward Bu Fang. This youth was too mysterious and always gave people an unfathomable feeling.
Se … Senior?!
When Wei Dafu heard how Tang Yin addressed Bu Fang, his legs immediately went soft and he almost fell on his butt. What the hell? You, a seventh grade Battle-Saint, addressed this youth as senior? Can't you speak properly?
Zhu Yue also slightly opened his mouth. He was somewhat astonished. Could it be that Tang Yin recognized the wrong person … The youth in front of him didn't seem to have a high cultivation level?
"That's right, it is indeed a coincidence. Why are you here? Isn't this the army? "Bu Fang looked at Tang Yin and calmly asked.
The corner of Tang Yin's mouth twitched. Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You're a chef. Why aren't you cooking in your own shop? What are you doing in the army?
"Because of some unavoidable reasons, I came to help out in the army. Why is Owner Bu in the army? Moreover, in the army of Western Mystery City, which is quite far from the Imperial City?
"I came to experience what it feels like to be a chef in the army and enhance my culinary skills. This way, when I cook, I can focus more on different emotions," Bu Fang casually spouted nonsense.
What he said was just a dignified reason on the surface. In fact, he just wanted to complete the task and obtain the reward.
However, Tang Yin didn't understand. After listening to Bu Fang's words, he suddenly felt a surge of admiration from the bottom of his heart. It was no wonder that Owner Bu's culinary skills could reach such a level. It turned out that he had been undergoing arduous culinary training in order to improve his culinary skills.
Being a chef in the army was a tough job. In order to improve his culinary skills, Owner Bu actually spared no effort to join the Cooks' Army Unit of the Western Mystery Army. This kind of spirit was simply a role model for his generation!
As expected, if one wanted to achieve something in any profession, he would need to put in a lot of effort.
The two of them were chatting happily. However, Zhu Yue and Wei Dafu's complexion became somewhat strange.
Zhu Yue was still fine and was only a little suspicious. However, Wei Dafu's complexion had already turned pale. A chef … Why would he be so familiar with a seventh grade Battle-Saint? Since he knew such an existence, why did he join the Western Mystery Army? To make fun of us?
"What dish is Owner Bu cooking? It smells so good. " After chatting for a while, Tang Yin's gaze fell on the four big woks. A trace of excitement surged in his eyes.
"They aren't anything special. They're all made with ordinary ingredients," Bu Fang calmly said. "These are prepared for the soldiers."
After Bu Fang finished speaking, he opened the lid of the woks. Immediately, a surging fragrance gushed out.
"Ordinary ingredients?" Tang Yin was taken aback. He walked toward the woks and looked inside.
The ingredients in the woks were brightly colored. The dishes in each wok were different. However, one thing was clear: these were all ordinary ingredients.
Even though the Cooks' Army Unit used ordinary ingredients to cook, it was rare. This was because ordinary ingredients were unable to maintain the soldiers' condition. Therefore, the majority of the cooks would cook dishes with spirit energy ingredients.
Zhu Yue, who was standing behind Tang Yin, squinted his eyes and glanced at Wei Dafu, who had an ugly expression on his face. He knew what was going on.
"This is called the Four Treasures Soup. It's a dish that I cooked using all the ingredients. Since it was cooked in four woks at the same time, the essence of the ingredients was extracted. That's why it's called the Four Treasures Soup," Bu Fang introduced.
He took out a ceramic bowl and scooped out a spoonful of soup from each of the four woks. He poured the soup into the bowl. The four kinds of soup were mixed in the bowl, but they were clearly separated. Each of them occupied a separate area and did not mix with the other.
"Try it." Bu Fang handed the ceramic bowl to Tang Yin. The steaming hot air was accompanied by a tempting fragrance. Tang Yin subconsciously took the ceramic bowl.
He scooped up a mouthful of soup.
Tang Yin's eyes immediately widened. This mouthful of soup seemed to be dispersing in his mouth, and all sorts of flavors flooded his mind. This mouthful of soup seemed to have fused with countless ingredients. The flavors constantly changed in his mouth, and it was incomparably refreshing.
"This... is unbelievable! Was this really cooked using ordinary ingredients? " Tang Yin was in a state of shock for a long time. The higher his cultivation level, the more he understood the difference between ingredients with spirit energy. The more precious the spirit energy contained in the ingredients, the more concentrated the spirit energy. When cooked, the fragrance and taste would be more delicious.
Bu Fang actually used ordinary ingredients to cook the taste of ingredients with spirit energy. As expected of the black-hearted owner of the Imperial City's Little Black-Hearted Store!
The solemn voice of the system echoed in Bu Fang's mind. This Four Treasures Soup was actually recognized by the system. It became the first dish that was recognized by the system in the Cooks' Army Unit.
So, he only needed to cook two dishes that were judged to be qualified by the system to complete the mission and obtain the fragment of the God of Cooking set?
Bu Fang suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.
Zhu Yue and Wei Dafu also scooped up a bowl of soup each. After drinking it, they were speechless for a long time. Zhu Yue was shocked, while Wei Dafu was silent.
Wei Dafu knew that he was wrong, extremely wrong. This Bu Fang's culinary skills had already far exceeded the scope of his imagination. It was already an existence that he could only look up to. Just this Four Treasures Soup alone was not something that he could cook.
Although this Four Treasures Soup was only made with ordinary ingredients, after drinking it, he felt his condition improving rapidly. He actually felt like he was drinking a dish made with spirit energy ingredients.
Wei Dafu was incomparably bitter.
"Good, good, good! Wei Dafu, ah, Wei Dafu, with... the young master's culinary skills, you actually want to bury him. I think you must be old and blind. Since you like to bury people so much, then in the future, you and the young master should exchange positions! From now on, the young master will be the captain of the Cooks' Army Unit! "
Zhu Yue's complexion turned cold as he sneered.
Wei Dafu's body suddenly trembled, and his face was filled with bitterness.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes as he drank the soup. This warm soup flowed into his heart and seemed to make his injuries slightly better. He minded his own business and drank the soup. As for Zhu Yue punishing Wei Dafu, he was too lazy to even look at it.
"There's no need. I'm not interested in this captain position. Just prepare the spirit energy ingredients for me." Bu Fang interrupted Zhu Yue's words. He was not the least bit interested in the captain of the Cooks' Army Unit. He only wanted to cook good dishes and make them pass the system's evaluation as soon as possible.
However, Zhu Yue still made a decision in the end. Wei Dafu was still left in the area for cooking ordinary ingredients.
Several cooks of the Cooks' Army Unit carried Bu Fang's four cauldrons and left the area. They arrived at the soldiers' tents and distributed the Four Treasures Soup.
...
Mo Lin pulled the reins and sat on the back of the spirit beast. Behind him was a densely packed army. He gazed at the Western Mystery Army, which had set up camp in the distance, and a trace of a sneer appeared on his face.
A figure was floating in the air. He was holding a talisman in his hand. The talismans converged into a magic array and revolved around his hand.
"The Western Mystery Army is just a distance away. Let's go and annihilate them. The seventh grade Battle-Saint supporting them is injured and is not in a good condition. This is the best time to attack. After annihilating the Western Mystery Army, we can turn to Mo Luo City and completely occupy it. After that, we can launch an attack on the Western Mystery City."
The black-robed elder was floating in the air. His sleeves fluttered as he spoke in an awe-inspiring manner.
Mo Lin's eyes immediately lit up. He waved the long spear in his hand and bellowed. Then, the army behind him charged toward the Western Mystery Army's camp.
