At this moment, the chief judge was in a daze. He felt a strong gust of wind blowing toward him.
Swish …
What the hell?!
The chief judge's widened nostrils shrank and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave. His face was filled with fear as he looked at the giant alchemy furnace flying toward him from afar.
The alchemy furnace was incomparably heavy. It was bright red and scorching hot, and there was even steam rising from it. Black smoke billowed and the alchemy flame surged. The alchemy flame was constantly changing and it seemed as though it was about to burst open the entire alchemy furnace.
A peculiar wave of energy surged toward the head judge …
The chief judge's mouth was wide open and his face was filled with confusion. Don't do this!
Boom!
The alchemy furnace, which was shaking violently, could no longer withstand it. With a loud bang, it exploded. The sound of the explosion reverberated continuously and the energy waves spread out in all directions.
"Oh my god! Her furnace exploded! "
"Damn … Goddess An's alchemy furnace … Did it explode?"
"This, this, this … Doesn't this mean that Goddess An is going to lose?"
…
The audience was shocked as they looked at the alchemy furnace that had exploded and emitted a dazzling light. They were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
For many people, this was the first time they had seen an alchemy furnace explode. Many of them knew that when they competed against the public enemy of alchemists, many alchemists had their furnaces explode. However, when they saw it for the first time, they were still shocked.
Even Sorceress An Sheng's furnace exploded … How strong was this chef? Was he trying to defy the heavens?!
In an instant, the audience was awakened by the fragrance that permeated the air. They stared at the scene on the stage with their eyes wide open.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
The true energy fluctuations on Sorceress An Sheng's body disappeared. She stretched out her slender fingers and took off the velvet rope that was tied around her hair. She shook her head and her hair fluttered in the wind.
"Sigh … As expected of the public enemy of alchemists, Owner Bu. How can anyone refine elixirs with this fragrance?!"
Sorceress An Sheng curled her lips and looked at Bu Fang, who was standing opposite of her.
The rising smoke made her curious. Was this the high-end dish that Owner Bu mentioned?
Wasn't it just roasted meat? How could it be considered high-end?!
However, even though it was barbecued meat, the smell … was so strong!
Sorceress An Sheng's lips moved. She placed her hands behind her back and leaped toward Bu Fang.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
The head judge's face was filled with despair. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, he casually waved his hand. Immediately, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the pitch-black dust scattered all over the ground.
He coughed a few times, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
No matter what, the head judge was an expert who had broken through three of the Supreme-Being's shackles. His cultivation was unparalleled, so how could he possibly be injured by the explosion of the cauldron? Even though he was caught off guard … he still managed to defend himself by circulating his zhenqi.
However, even though he wasn't hurt, his entire image was a little awkward.
Sorceress An Sheng clasped her hands behind her back as she looked at the head judge, whose black hair was standing on end and whose mouth was still spitting out black smoke. She smiled apologetically, then tapped the ground with the tip of her foot and scurried to the front of Bu Fang's bronze platform. Her face was filled with curiosity.
"This lass …" The head judge didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Since the cauldron had exploded, it meant that this lass An Sheng had lost this match.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone lose so boldly. She actually pushed the cauldron that was about to explode to the head judge. This was simply … too much!
What did the head judge do to her?
It wasn't easy to be a judge!
An Sheng didn't seem to care about winning or losing. Instead, she curiously ran to the front of Bu Fang's bronze platform. Her eyes were glowing as she stared at the dishes on Bu Fang's bronze platform. She couldn't stop sizing them up!
"Are these the high-end dishes that you were talking about?" Sorceress An Sheng curiously asked as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
At this moment, Bu Fang was putting the finishing touches on his dish. He seemed to have heard something and instantly raised his head in confusion.
"Why are you here?"
Bu Fang was slightly surprised. Wasn't this woman supposed to be refining elixirs in the distance? Why did she run over to his spot?
He raised his head and looked over. The bronze platform in the distance was empty. There was only a black-faced judge looking at them with a lifeless expression.
"Oh … So it's because the cauldron exploded." The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up as he glanced at the woman with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Sorceress An Sheng, on the other hand, didn't care. "So what if the cauldron exploded? What right do you have to look down on a cauldron exploding? "
"As an outstanding alchemist, one must have enough experience in exploding cauldrons. I am a woman who wants to become the king of alchemy. Don't make a fuss about something like an exploding cauldron." An Sheng waved her hand nonchalantly.
Her gaze was still fixed on the roasted meat that Bu Fang had started to lay out on the plate.
The aroma of the dish spread out in all directions. It was as though the dish was emitting light. She couldn't help but swallow it. It was really fragrant … It seemed to be delicious.
…
"What is this lass doing?"
The smile on Grand Master Gu He's face froze. His face was filled with astonishment as he looked at An Sheng, who had openly run to the front of Bu Fang's bronze platform.
Exploding cauldron? This lass actually exploded her cauldron … Grand Master Gu He's face twitched. He felt as though someone had given him a few slaps on his face. It really hurt.
The surrounding Grandmasters all looked over and shot him a glance, causing him to feel a little uncomfortable from head to toe.
"Cough, cough … This lass just likes to cause trouble. In the Pill Tower, she would explode her cauldron for fun. You just have to get used to it. You just have to get used to it …"
Grand Master Gu He laughed dryly and tried to explain himself. However, this excuse … made him blush.
In his heart, he was astonished. Impossible … How could this lass explode her cauldron? Although this lass was playful, her talent in alchemy was really not bad. Moreover, her mental strength was very strong. It was impossible for her to explode her cauldron …
Unless … she was influenced by someone else.
Could it be because of that chef?
Looking at his precious disciple, who was squatting in front of the chef's bronze platform, Grand Master Gu He suddenly felt a little flustered.
He felt as though his female disciple had been abducted.
"It should be because of that chef … I'm sure everyone has noticed the fragrance in the air. It's really incredible. This is the first time I've smelled such an intoxicating fragrance." Grandmaster Xuan Ming's eyes lit up as he spoke.
The other grandmasters also looked pensive.
"We are so far away from the arena, yet it smells so good … That lass An Sheng is not far away from the bronze platform. The fragrance she smelled must be even stronger! That kind of fragrance would cause people to lose their focus … Naturally, it would be difficult for them to control their alchemy fire and cause the cauldron to explode. "
Grand Master Yao Guang analyzed. His gaze was fixed on Bu Fang's position, and for the first time, a serious expression appeared on his face.
This chef … was not ordinary!
This round … This chef won! As long as the chef's dish could reach the level of a one-mark spirit pill, he would be able to win this round.
…
"Step back a little. Don't get so close. We are now competitors."
Bu Fang calmly said as he glanced at An Sheng.
After saying that, his kitchen knife spun and with a flick, he picked up the roasted meat that was placed on the iron net.
A blue-and-white porcelain plate was placed on the table, and the roasted meat landed on the porcelain plate. Bu Fang grabbed the purple bamboo branch and pulled it, causing the food to scurry into the plate.
The seasoning plate floated over, and Bu Fang sprinkled some seasoning on it. It was a beautiful sight.
After carving the fresh spirit herbs into beautiful shapes and placing them on the porcelain plate, the roasted meat was completed.
As for the other dishes, they were handled and arranged in the same way.
"Don't move … These are the dishes for the competition," Bu Fang said calmly as he saw An Sheng secretly stretch out her hand.
An Sheng's outstretched hand instantly froze. Her red lips pursed, and she snorted at Bu Fang.
"Isn't it just a taste? The smell of your dish made me unable to refine the elixir … Can't you just let me have a taste? You … You're too much! "An Sheng said.
Bu Fang glanced at her, his face expressionless and unmoved.
"I thought you didn't care about your furnace exploding? Moreover … Your furnace exploding under the influence of external objects means that your mental strength isn't strong enough. You need more practice, "Bu Fang said.
Wiping his wet hands, he looked at the judge in the distance and said, "My cooking is over … Can you evaluate it now?"
The chief judge was still in a state of despair. When he heard Bu Fang's words, he came back to his senses.
With a black face, he walked in front of Bu Fang's bronze platform.
An Sheng looked at the chief judge, whose head was still emitting black smoke. She felt a little embarrassed, and she let out a dry laugh.
The chief judge looked at her with resentment. This brat …
However, he didn't feel resentful for long. The chief judge's gaze landed on the dish that Bu Fang had placed on the bronze platform.
When he looked at it, his gaze froze!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath …
"What's the name of the dish this time?" The chief judge asked curiously.
This time, there were many dishes. There were actually about nine dishes placed on the table. All of them were made with different ingredients, but the cooking method was the same.
The nine dishes were placed on the blue and white porcelain plates, and there seemed to be a special connection between them. The spiritual energy fluctuated continuously, forming an invisible storm.
That feeling … was extremely wonderful and mysterious!
"This time, the dishes don't have a name … You can call them Barbecue." Bu Fang looked at the chief judge and calmly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Fang single-handedly grabbed the signboard placed in front of the bronze platform and solemnly began to advertise …
The chief judge was a little speechless … Advertising again?
An Sheng covered her mouth and chuckled. She suddenly felt that Owner Bu was really a little cute.
The surrounding audience listened to Bu Fang's advertisement. When he finished, the entire audience burst into laughter … That laughter was no longer filled with mockery. Instead, it was filled with curiosity.
The restaurant that defeated Sorceress An Sheng's chef … The audience's hearts were suddenly filled with anticipation.
The chief judge waited for Bu Fang to finish his advertisement before picking up his chopsticks. He couldn't wait to taste the dish.
That aroma lingered in the air, causing people to be unable to stop eating … How delicious was it?
However, before the chief judge's chopsticks could reach the dish, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
"Chief judge … Bring the dishes over. This time, we will personally evaluate the dishes."
On the high platform, Grandmaster Xuan Ming's gaze was deep as he looked at the nine dishes that were emitting a bright light. The other grandmasters were also solemnly sitting upright and still. They nodded their heads continuously.
The chief judge was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the judges who were sitting upright and still. His heart instantly became filled with resentment.
Don't you have any shame? Evaluating the finished product was clearly the job of the judges!
