The Heavenly Mist City's central plaza was located in the center of the city, and it was surrounded by rows upon rows of tall bronze buildings.
The surrounding buildings belonged to many big families. Among them, the Lin, Zhang, and Nangong families all had their own tall buildings.
Other than these three big families, the Flowing Cloud House was also located in one of these tall buildings.
Compared to the three big families, the Flowing Cloud House's buildings were even taller, and the decorations inside were even more dazzling.
The Pill Tower was quite far away from the central plaza. After all, the Pill Tower was constantly emitting pill energy, and if it was built in the center of the city, it would affect the city. Thus, regardless of whether it was Heavenly Pill City, Heavenly Shine City, or Heavenly Mist City, their Pill Towers were all built in remote places.
When Bu Fang walked along a small path toward the depths of the tall buildings that were like a forest of steel, the number of people around him gradually increased.
All sorts of spirit beast carriages sped along, bringing with them a strong gust of wind and clamor.
Many people saw Bu Fang. After all, Bu Fang's current appearance was too eye-catching, as he was carrying a huge signboard.
The words "Cloud Mist Restaurant" were written on the signboard.
What was he doing? Many people sneered when they saw Bu Fang's appearance, and they were speechless.
Some of them also saw the words on the signboard. Cloud Mist Restaurant?
A restaurant?
There was a restaurant in Heavenly Mist City?
Although the Cloud Mist Restaurant was very popular, it was still unknown in the entire Heavenly Mist City. Most people were still taking Fasting Pills.
They didn't even know that there was a restaurant in Heavenly Mist City.
Of course, there were also some familiar people who saw Owner Bu, and they were startled.
"Owner Bu? What are you going to do with the signboard? "
"I'm going to participate in the Magical Hand Conference," Bu Fang said calmly as he hurried along.
"A chef like you is going to participate in the Magical Hand Conference? Owner Bu, don't make a fuss. " Those familiar with Bu Fang were speechless. The Magical Hand Conference was a competition for alchemists. What was a chef doing there?
Everyone thought that Bu Fang was joking.
However, Bu Fang was not joking.
Along the way, Bu Fang met quite a few familiar faces. These people were all there to watch the ceremony.
After all, the Magical Hand Conference was a large-scale competition in the Pill Palace, and it was very attractive.
He would be able to meet many famous alchemists, and he might even be able to meet the top executives of the Pill Palace! The top executives of the Pill Palace were all incomparably powerful alchemists! He was an idol in the hearts of the people in the Pill Palace.
Compared to the doubts of those familiar with him, those who didn't know Bu Fang sneered when they heard Bu Fang say that he, a chef, was going to participate in the ceremony.
After passing through the steel forest of buildings, Bu Fang's eyes lit up, as if there was an incandescent light flickering in front of him.
All of a sudden, it became spacious. A huge square lay between these buildings, filled with a magnificent aura.
"Old Bu, we're here! Look over here! "
From afar, Bu Fang seemed to have heard someone shouting. Bu Fang subconsciously turned his head toward the source of the shout and saw Nangong Wuque and Nangong Wan waving at him from afar.
Bu Fang was taken aback for a moment, but he still walked over.
When Nangong Wuque saw that Bu Fang was carrying his restaurant's signboard, his expression became strange.
"Old Bu, why are you carrying a signboard? Aren't you here to participate in the competition? "
"I want to spread the fame of my restaurant. If I don't take out my signboard, how will people know that I'm representing the Cloud Mist Restaurant?" Bu Fang said as if it was a matter of course.
"Alright, what you said makes sense … I'm actually speechless."
Nangong Wuque remembered that the main reason Bu Fang participated in the Magical Hand Conference was to spread the fame of his restaurant.
"But … isn't this a little too exaggerated?"
Nangong Wan squinted her eyes. She suddenly looked forward to the scene of Owner Bu winning the competition and walking down the stage with his head held high and chest puffed out.
At that time, many people's eyeballs would pop out from their sockets.
Just as the three of them were talking, more and more people gathered in the square. In the sky, a huge metal warship descended, stirring up a strong wind. Experts wearing white alchemy robes walked out of the warship.
…
Duan Yun's gray hair fluttered in the wind. The moment he walked out of the Heavenly Pill City's warship, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In the Magical Hand Conference, he had to get into the top fifty.
Ever since he returned from the Southern Region, Duan Yun had been in seclusion. He constantly tempered his alchemy skills. The trip to the Southern Region had given him a huge shock.
The dishes cooked by a restaurant were actually more powerful than his elixirs. This was something that made an alchemist feel despair.
If an alchemist was defeated by a chef, how could he still have the face to call himself the noblest profession in the Hidden Dragon Continent?
"Duan Yun, perform well. With your current strength, it won't be a problem for you to get into the top fifty."
An old man walked out of the warship behind Duan Yun. He patted Duan Yun's shoulder and said with a smile.
Duan Yun turned his head and looked at the old man. His eyes were filled with respect. This old man was his teacher, the Heavenly Pill City's esteemed Great Alchemist, Four-Cloud Alchemist Gu He.
Great Master Gu He was also one of the judges of the Magical Hand Conference.
Duan Yun nodded his head excitedly and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, go and prepare yourself. Follow your senior brothers and sisters. I hope that you won't disappoint me. This time, we are participating in an away game. Don't embarrass the Heavenly Pill City." Great Master Gu He smiled and stroked his long beard. Then, he walked away with the demeanor of an immortal.
Duan Yun followed behind his senior brothers and sisters as they walked toward the square.
"The Heavenly Mist City's alchemy level is much lower than our Heavenly Pill City's. This time, we must let the people of the Heavenly Mist City experience the strength of our Heavenly Pill City."
"In the Pill Palace, our Heavenly Pill City is the strongest!"
"Look! There is actually someone who brought a signboard to participate in the competition?"
…
Duan Yun's senior brothers and sisters looked around in surprise. All of them had their own pride.
Suddenly, Duan Yun heard a Senior Sister cry out in alarm. He subconsciously looked in the direction the Senior Sister was pointing and saw a slender figure carrying a huge signboard toward the registration area.
That figure seemed somewhat familiar …
Duan Yun's pupils constricted and he felt somewhat puzzled. He felt as though he had seen that figure somewhere before.
However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall where he had seen it before. Duan Yun was dragged by his senior brothers and sisters to register.
Eight arenas were set up on the spacious ground of the central square. Since there were too many participants, the competition would take place in all eight arenas at the same time.
When Bu Fang appeared at the registration area with his signboard, the alchemist in charge of registration looked at Bu Fang as though he was looking at an idiot.
This was the first time he saw a chef registering for the competition. It was also the first time he saw someone registering for the competition while carrying a signboard.
Who invited this clown? Was he trying to increase the effect of the program?
"Old Bu, although you registered for the special category, the rules of the preliminary round are different. Your opponent might be a poison master, a doctor, or an alchemist. You must do your best and don't get eliminated too quickly," Nangong Wuque said as he prepared to leave. After Nangong Wuque took his number plate, he prepared to leave. Before he left, he gave Bu Fang a few words of warning.
Bu Fang nodded.
The number on Bu Fang's signboard was the eighth arena, which was in the corner of the square. It was in a remote area, but Bu Fang didn't pay much attention to it.
Nangong Wuque was assigned to the third arena, which was in the middle. Nangong Wan was assigned to the sixth arena.
The three of them were assigned to different positions, so they went their separate ways.
"Nangong Wuque … That idiot carrying the signboard is your friend, right? That kind of trash actually has the guts to participate in the competition … "
When Nangong Wuque arrived in front of the third arena, he suddenly heard someone ridiculing him. He was slightly startled and turned his head to look.
The person who ridiculed him was a fair-skinned man wearing an alchemist robe and emitting a powerful aura.
At this moment, this man was sneering.
"Lin Sanpao, you don't know anything about my brother-in-law's level. Don't talk nonsense here," Nangong Wuque said calmly.
Lin Sanpao, the genius alchemist of the Lin Family, shook his head. Nangong Wuque was a weirdo, so his friend was also a weirdo.
"Your brother-in-law's level? A chef? Nangong Wuque, don't think that I'm as stupid as you. A chef definitely won't be able to pass the preliminary round. I have never heard of a chef participating in the competition, "Lin Sanpao said with a mocking smile.
Nangong Wuque glanced at him and waved his hand. He said in disgust, "My brother-in-law is someone who wants to create miracles. What do you know? You just need to keep your eyes open and watch. "
After he finished speaking, Nangong Wuque ignored Lin Sanpao and stepped onto the arena, preparing to start the preliminary round.
A chef who wants to create miracles?
Lin Sanpao rolled his eyes and stepped onto the arena. He thought that Nangong Wuque was joking.
On the other side, in the eighth arena.
Bu Fang also carried the signboard and stepped onto the arena in front of the dumbfounded judges. He walked toward the bronze arena that belonged to him.
The dozens of contestants on the arena looked at Bu Fang as if they were looking at an idiot.
Who the hell came to participate in the competition with a signboard? What was written on that signboard? Cloud Mist Restaurant?
Was he here to participate in the competition or to open a restaurant?
Wasn't his grandstanding a little too much?
What happened next stunned the judges even more.
Bang! Bu Fang smashed the heavy Black Turtle Constellation Wok on the bronze arena, causing it to be slightly flattened.
He swung the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and placed it on the bronze arena. He then took out a chopping board and a porcelain plate. When this set of equipment appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.
A kitchen knife, a black wok, a chopping board, a porcelain plate, and a signboard …
Are you really planning to open a restaurant in the arena? "Xu Que thought.
Where did this clown come from?
After he finished everything, Bu Fang raised his head and used a velvet rope to tie up his hair. He looked at the judges with a sincere expression on his face.
"I'm ready!" Bu Fang exhaled.
