"What news?"
The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a radiance circulating in his eyes as he gazed at Bei Gongming, causing Bei Gongming's heart to tremble.
It was a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through one's thoughts. This pair of eyes made Bei Gongming's hair stand on end.
Executive Feng was an expert sent by the Grand Barren Sect to oversee the training grounds.
He was in charge of Bei Gongming's team.
His cultivation was extremely powerful. Bei Gongming, who was at the middle stage of the Supreme-Being Realm, didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.
"Executive Feng... I discovered a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame in the training grounds."
Bei Gongming recalled how he had been humiliated by a group of country bumpkins. He felt a surge of anger in his heart.
With his cultivation, he definitely wouldn't be able to get back at them. The kid who snatched the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame seemed to have an extremely powerful puppet.
That puppet could fight against five Supreme-Beings at once. If he went up alone, he would definitely be beaten up.
Bei Gongming wasn't a fool. He sighed and told him the truth.
Executive Feng's lazy gaze suddenly froze when he heard Bei Gongming's words.
His sharp gaze was like a sharp longsword.
In an instant, it seemed as though it was going to pierce Bei Gongming's heart.
Bei Gongming's whole body trembled.
"What did you say? A Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame appeared in the training grounds? "Executive Feng's voice was filled with a sense of bewilderment.
This training ground couldn't even produce a Divine Physique Echelon cultivator. How could a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame be produced?
Are you the fool or am I?
Executive Feng looked at Bei Gongming as though he was looking at a fool.
Bei Gongming was dumbfounded. Executive Feng actually didn't believe him?
He hurriedly told Executive Feng everything that happened in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
After listening to Bei Gongming's story, Executive Feng's face became gloomy.
"You said that half of the team died because of a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame?" Executive Feng's voice was ice-cold. He looked at Bei Gongming, who felt a chill run down his spine.
As the leader of the team, he was in charge of Bei Gongming's team. Now, Bei Gongming had actually run over to tell him that half of the team had died?
This responsibility was completely on his head, and the sect would also demand an explanation from him.
Executive Feng's cold and gloomy expression seemed to have caused the surrounding experts to slowly open their eyes. Astonished, they swept their gazes over where he was at.
Executive Feng nodded his head at the few of them, then pulled Bei Gongming out of the central region of the great hall.
This hall was the gathering place of the Grand Barren Sect in the training grounds.
Every time the disciples were sent to the training grounds, they would have to return to the Grand Barren Sect by stepping on the magic array.
"Is there really a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility by making up a lie? "Executive Feng pulled Bei Gongming into a room and asked coldly.
Bei Gongming's heart trembled as he swore, "If this disciple has lied to you, then both my body and soul will be destroyed!"
Executive Feng's eyes lit up when he heard Bei Gongming's oath. A Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame … This barren Southern Region actually had a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame.
This was an opportunity! A great opportunity!
If he could obtain a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, it would be a great merit, and he would be able to obtain many good items in the sect!
"A Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame is indeed a good item … It's a pity that I have an important matter to deal with." Executive Feng clasped his hands behind his back and furrowed his brows.
"What is it? Is it more important than a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame? "Bei Gongming was curious.
Executive Feng glanced at him and snorted.
"Didn't you say that the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame has already been devoured and refined by someone? The monk can run, but the temple can't … You are now in charge of keeping a close eye on the person who devoured the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, and keep in touch with me at all times. Once I'm done with the Illusory Spirit Swamp's crystal mine, I'll rush over."
Bei Gongming was stunned for a moment, then he sucked in a breath of cold air.
A crystal mine … That was an incredible item!
…
The Light Wind Imperial City regained its peace and tranquility.
Although the ground was covered in rubble and many people's homes were destroyed.
However, because Ji Chengxue had arranged for the guards of the Imperial City to disperse the crowd in advance, this disaster didn't cause too many casualties.
As for the people whose houses were destroyed, Ji Chengxue arranged for them to stay in the plaza in front of the imperial palace.
The Gate of Heavenly Mystery was also opened, accommodating many people.
Every family occupied a small area, and they were given some bedding and clothes.
Although the commoners were dissatisfied with this, they knew that this was the best solution.
At the same time, the restoration of the Imperial Capital was in full swing. The reconstruction of the houses, the re-paving of the streets, and so on were all underway.
The clanging sounds of construction echoed unceasingly.
The warm morning sun rose above the horizon, casting a warm glow on people's hearts. Bu Fang got up from his bed with a dazed look on his face.
Letting out a yawn, he washed his face and rinsed his mouth before slowly heading downstairs.
The kitchen was very quiet. Ever since Yu Fu returned to the Illusory Spirit Swamp, the kitchen was missing an energetic figure.
As for Xiao Xiaolong, he wasn't as energetic.
Bu Fang used a fine velvet rope to tie up the ends of his hair, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the kitchen while twisting his neck.
Bu Fang arrived in front of his own stove and picked up the extremely heavy kitchen knife. He yawned and began to methodically practice his cutting and carving techniques.
Although his cooking skills had improved a lot compared to when he first arrived, this kind of daily training couldn't be skipped.
This was because it trained a chef's foundation. Only when one's foundation was firmly grasped could a tall building rise from the ground.
After putting away the kitchen knife, Bu Fang took out a few pieces of tenderloin meat from the system's dimensional storage and prepared to cook Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for Blacky.
Looking at the tenderloin meat, Bu Fang suddenly froze.
"Ah … I almost forgot. That fat dog is going to eat the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs today." Bu Fang smacked his lips, and conveniently put away the tenderloin meat.
He walked in front of the cupboard and took out the supreme dragon tenderloin meat that was placed inside yesterday.
Green smoke curled up, and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife appeared.
After chopping off a few pieces of dragon tenderloin meat and cleaning it, Bu Fang took out the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
The pitch-black and heavy Black Turtle Constellation Wok emitted a simple and unadorned aura. It continuously rotated above his palm, and finally became the size of a normal wok. With a loud bang, it was placed on the stove.
Rubbing his nose, Bu Fang took a step back, and his face became slightly flushed. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of golden flames.
The flames darted into the bottom of the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, and began to burn quietly.
This method of lighting the fire made Bu Fang feel a little embarrassed, as if he was the incarnation of the Calabash Brothers.
What followed was an orderly cooking process. Bu Fang could recite the cooking process of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs with his eyes closed, and the cooking process was even more skillful.
Moreover, it was not the first time he used dragon meat to make Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, so he was very experienced.
After the supreme Fire Dragon meat was dipped in oil, its fragrance was incomparably mellow. It slowly floated up, and it constantly tickled one's taste buds. Even Bu Fang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Smelling this fragrance, Bu Fang couldn't help but think of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Dragon Claw that he ate the day before.
Delicious!
Bu Fang muttered.
Sizzle!
The flames in the wok surged, then disappeared. Bu Fang shook his ladle, scooped up the tangerine red juice from the wok, and poured it onto the dragon meat that had already been processed.
Puff!
Steam rose up, and white steam rolled out. It was accompanied by an explosive fragrance, which intoxicated one and made one unable to extricate themselves.
Supreme Dragon Meat Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs … If others knew about this dish, they would surely be scared out of their wits. Who would dare to eat it?
Picking up the fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Bu Fang furrowed his brows, as if he had thought of something. He put down the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and didn't rush to bring it over to Blacky.
Blacky, who was standing at the entrance, had already opened its eyes wide while Bu Fang was cooking Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. It peeked through the crack of the door, and its nose twitched as it sniffed the fragrance in the air.
The Lord Gou couldn't wait any longer!
Bu Fang took out the Purple Spirit Fruit Tree from the system's dimensional storage, which he had dug up from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He planted it in a corner of the store, and it resonated with the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree.
After planting the Purple Spirit Fruit Tree, Bu Fang noticed that the space within the store had expanded by a lot, and it seemed to have become much more spacious.
The tables and chairs within the store were also unknowingly replenished.
"Did the system unknowingly expand the store?" Bu Fang thought excitedly in his heart.
However, Bu Fang was only excited for a moment. He poured water for the Purple Spirit Fruit Tree and took out a bowl of refreshing fruit juice.
Refreshing fruit juice, fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs …
Even Bu Fang was drooling just by looking at it.
After opening the store's door, Blacky's dog ears twitched. It took several steps back and excitedly stared at Bu Fang.
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up as he placed the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs and the Purple Spirit Fruit Juice in front of Blacky.
"Today, I will add a drink for you. The taste is pretty good," Bu Fang lightly said as he rubbed Blacky's spotless fur.
"Oh?"
Blacky looked at Bu Fang in astonishment. "This kid … knows how to show filial respect to the Lord Gou?"
With a satisfied snort, the Lord Gou impatiently gobbled up the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs that Bu Fang had placed on the table.
It had been looking forward to eating this Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for a long time!
"Delicious, woof!"
After a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs entered his mouth, the Lord Gou felt so happy that he almost shed tears. He was completely intoxicated by the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs and was unable to extricate himself. His dog's tail was wagging rapidly.
The Lord Gou loved the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs, and the Sweet 'n' Sour Supreme Dragon Meat Ribs loved the Lord Gou … This was the Lord Gou's happy day!
Bu Fang rubbed Blacky's head once more. He stood up and walked back into the store.
He pulled a chair and comfortably curled up on it. As the warm sunlight shone down from the sky, his eyes once again became empty and spacious.
Bu Fang really enjoyed this kind of leisurely life. He yawned and almost fell asleep.
However, just as he closed his eyes, the system's voice resounded in his mind. The sudden voice almost scared the relaxed Bu Fang to death …
