A spicy dish …
Bu Fang held the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and twirled it in his hands.
Spiciness was actually an essential taste in delicacies. Many famous delicacies were inseparable from the word 'spicy'.
However, since he had already decided to cook a spicy dish the next day, Bu Fang had a headache about what he should cook.
First of all, he had to choose a dish that would shock people's eyes. Moreover, the flavor of the dish had to be rich during the cooking process.
Only by doing so would he be able to create a shocking effect that would be unforgettable to people.
Only by cooking such a dish would he be able to promote the Cloud Mist Restaurant.
However, the system's temporary task was for him to promote the Cloud Mist Restaurant, and participating in the Magical Hand Conference was the best way to do so. However, how many rounds did he have to reach?
Or was he supposed to become the champion?
Bu Fang was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head. Forget it, he would just take one step at a time. If he managed to complete the temporary task, the system would naturally notify him.
As he twirled the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, Bu Fang's aura suddenly changed. It was as though he had turned into an overlord, and his gaze was incomparably sharp.
Xiaopi was lying on the stove with the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife hovering above it. Xiaopi blinked its compound eyes and looked at Bu Fang with a puzzled expression.
Fine … The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled upwards and he put away the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. He couldn't rush the Overlord Thirteen Blades.
Picking up Xiaopi, Bu Fang placed it on his shoulder and started pacing around the kitchen. He was thinking about the dish he would cook the next day.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he waved his hands. He finally knew what dish he would cook.
…
The next morning.
Bu Fang woke up early and went to the kitchen. He cooked dishes for Blacky and You. The aroma of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Dragon Blood Rice permeated the entire store.
After opening the store's doors, Bu Fang opened them for business for a while. Then, he closed the doors and left for the Heavenly Mist City's central plaza.
Today was the last day of the elimination round, and the top one hundred participants of the Magical Hand Conference would be chosen to participate in the semifinals.
The semifinals and elimination rounds were very different.
At that time, the Pill Pagodas of the three great Pill Cities of the Pill Prefecture would use projection arrays to transmit the images of the competition to the various big cities. At that time, the competition would be broadcasted to the entire Pill Prefecture.
This was also the reason why the Magical Hand Conference was the most important event in the Pill Palace.
It could even be said that many experts from the other first-rate factions of the Hidden Dragon Continent would come to the Pill Palace to watch the competition. They paid attention to the top fifty alchemists in the Magical Hand Conference. Those alchemists were the true geniuses among alchemists. They had unlimited potential and were the main targets of the major factions.
Therefore, the Magical Hand Conference was also a place for alchemists to make a name for themselves.
Bu Fang continued to carry the board and walked towards the central square step by step.
Along the way, many people recognized Bu Fang. After all, Bu Fang's reputation was not small. He was the only chef who made it to the third round of the elimination round.
He was the public enemy of all alchemists.
As long as he participated in the competition, there would be furnace explosions.
Now, when many alchemists mentioned Bu Fang's name, their bodies would tremble in fear.
They were afraid that they would encounter Bu Fang, the bane of their existence, in the next round.
However, Bu Fang did not care about this.
After arriving at the central square, Bu Fang found out that the arena for his competition was the first arena.
The first arena? So awesome?
Since it was the first arena, did it mean that there would be many people watching?
Now that Bu Fang wanted to promote the Cloud Mist Restaurant, he was naturally overjoyed to be able to compete in the arena with the most spectators.
However, the result made him a little speechless. The arena number for the elimination round had no practical significance. The first arena was no different from the other arenas.
Although it was a pity, Bu Fang did not take it to heart.
As time passed, the number of people in the central square increased and it became more and more crowded.
When it came to the third round of the elimination round, there were already many people watching.
Thus, almost every arena was surrounded by people.
Bu Fang walked up to the first arena. The way he carried the signboard was very obvious.
Many people knew that he was in the first arena and they all came to watch.
Compared to the competition between the alchemists, they felt that Bu Fang, the chef, was more interesting. Moreover, as long as this chef was in the arena, there would be many interesting things happening.
For example … a furnace explosion.
After so many competitions, Bu Fang's reputation in this Magical Hand Conference was not small.
Although he had not attracted the attention of the top genius alchemists, he was an existence that was like a wolf or a tiger to ordinary alchemists.
After all, this chef … came in a menacing manner and was no small matter.
The person in charge of the first arena's elimination round was the chief judge from yesterday.
The chief judge looked deeply at Bu Fang and licked his lips. The taste of the steamed crab from yesterday was still lingering in his mind.
He suddenly felt that being a judge for Bu Fang was not a bad thing. At the very least, he could taste a lot of delicious food.
He wondered what kind of delicious food Bu Fang would cook for this round.
He was really curious about it.
Dong!
Bu Fang placed the signboard on the bronze platform. All the alchemists in the arena looked at him with vigilance.
It's him, it's him!
This guy is the chef who caused the alchemists' furnaces to explode!
Every alchemist looked at Bu Fang with a cold gaze that was filled with killing intent.
This time, they had to knock this chef off the stage!
The head judge looked at Bu Fang, who seemed to have become the center of attention, with interest. Although he admired the taste of Bu Fang's dishes, if he could eliminate Bu Fang, it would not be a bad thing.
After all, the Magical Hand Conference was a stage for alchemists. A chef who came in randomly … would make people feel weird.
If this chef got into the top 50, the Pill Palace would become the laughingstock of the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.
In a professional alchemist competition, a chef got into the top 50.
Didn't that mean that alchemists couldn't even compete with a chef?
"This round … is the third round of the elimination round. It is also the key to deciding whether or not you can get into the semi-finals. To be able to get to this round, it means that your alchemy skills are very strong. However … no matter what, there must be a result in a duel. Some people will advance, while others will fail. Therefore, I hope that everyone can bring out your true skills in this elimination round.
"The rules of the competition are as follows. Within an hour, those who can refine a ninth grade elixir will advance. Remember … there are only ten slots. The first to finish refining will advance."
The chief judge said.
All the alchemists became serious. The difficulty of the third round of the elimination round was naturally different from the previous rounds. Those who could get to this round were all capable alchemists. No one dared to underestimate anyone else.
Bu Fang nodded his head seriously. The dish in this round was not a small challenge to him. Naturally, he had to be serious.
When the chief judge announced the start of the competition …
Bu Fang also moved.
Swoosh!
The sound of rain rang out. Then, the audience looked at Bu Fang's bronze platform in shock. There was a small hill of red chili peppers.
The chili peppers were slightly curved and glossy.
However, this was not the end. The sound of rain fell again, and a small hill of green chili peppers filled the bronze platform.
The audience was stunned. What dish was this chef going to make this time?
Ignoring the gazes of the audience, Bu Fang waved his hand and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife started to spin. It seemed as though it was shining with a dazzling light.
It was like a shooting star falling from the pitch-black sky.
The audience below the stage let out cries of surprise.
What was he doing?
So many chili peppers … Was he going to ascend to the heavens?!
When the alchemists on the stage saw so many chili peppers, their faces turned black in an instant … Everyone's heart seemed to have a bad premonition!
The chief judge was also a little dumbfounded.
Chili peppers? Could it be that today's dish was related to chili peppers? But what was he going to do with so many chili peppers? Was he really going to ascend to the heavens?
Clatter clatter clatter clatter!
However, Bu Fang did not answer their questions. The rhythmic sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board reverberated in everyone's ears. It was incomparably clear.
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife seemed to have disappeared. The frequency at which it was swung caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air.
This hand speed … was heaven-defying!
This knife skill was simply godly!
Clatter clatter clatter!
The small hill of chili peppers was quickly cut into pieces by Bu Fang and scattered all over the plate.
Red and green chili peppers were piled up on one side.
At this moment, the other alchemists retracted their gazes and started to refine elixirs seriously.
This time, many of the alchemists had learned their lesson. They closed their nostrils and only used their mouths to breathe weakly. This way, they would not be affected by the fragrance.
This was the strategy that these alchemists had come up with to deal with their enemies.
Today, Bu Fang was their enemy.
They were very confident in this method. The nose was very sensitive, especially for alchemists. It was precisely because of this sensitivity that their reactions to fragrance were especially intense. They were especially easily affected by it.
If they chose to close their nostrils and use their mouths to breathe, the effects would be suppressed to the minimum. Naturally, the furnace would not explode because of the fragrance.
This time, all of them came in a threatening manner. They were determined to eliminate Bu Fang from the Magical Hand Conference.
Boom!
The alchemic fire surged and the stage became hot in an instant.
All kinds of spirit herbs rushed out and their medicinal energy filled the air. They fell into the alchemic furnace and were burned into medicinal liquid.
Bu Fang naturally did not know the state of those alchemists. After chopping up the chili peppers, he mixed them together and put them aside. He added some seasoning and marinated them for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, Bu Fang took out a huge object from the system's dimensional storage.
Boom!
A huge fat fish the size of a human was caught by Bu Fang and smashed onto the bronze platform, causing the entire stage to tremble.
The referee was stunned, and so were the spectators below the stage.
This chef … What was he going to do?
Yesterday, he was going to cook a crab. Was he going to cook a fish today? Was he going to cook a seafood feast?
That fat fish was plump and plump. With one look, one could tell that it was very meaty. It would definitely be delicious after being cooked.
However, what Bu Fang did next gave them a fright.
They saw Bu Fang carrying the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and infusing his true energy into it. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife emitted a dazzling radiance and became huge.
Puchi!
With a slash of the knife, the fish's head and body were instantly separated.
Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Bu Fang kept the plump fish's body, leaving behind only the huge fish head.
Leaving behind a fish head that did not have much meat? What was this guy trying to do?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
