With a "dong" sound, Bu Fang placed the metal cage in the kitchen. He stretched his body and lazily glanced at the Blood Phoenix Chicken that was standing still in the cage.
"System, if the quality of this Blood Phoenix Chicken is a little inferior, will it affect the efficacy of the Elixir Cuisine?" Bu Fang puzzledly asked.
"If the quality of the ingredients is inferior, the efficacy of the Elixir Cuisine will naturally be inferior as well. This is common sense," the system solemnly said. Bu Fang was immediately speechless.
He once again glanced at the Blood Phoenix Chicken. It just so happened that the chicken had also turned its head around and was looking at Bu Fang with its rolling eyes.
"Alright, this is the ingredient provided by the crown prince after all. I can't be blamed for the poor efficacy." Bu Fang indifferently thought about it and immediately felt at ease.
After closing the store's door, Bu Fang did not immediately start cooking. Instead, he rested for a while and called out his system panel to check.
Host: Bu Fang
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty
True Energy Cultivation Level: Third grade (Has reached the level of releasing true energy. As the God of Cooking in the fantasy world, the food in the future will definitely require true energy. Work hard, young man.)
Cooking Talent: Unknown
Skills: Level 1 Meteor Cutting Technique (80/100)
Tools: Fragment of the God of Cooking set (3/4)
God of Cooking overall rating: Apprentice Chef (Can finally cook ingredients with true energy and start learning cutting techniques. The road to the God of Cooking is open for you. Work hard! Work hard, young man.)
Current Origin Crystals sales amount to 3,600 Origin Crystals, True Qi Conversion (900/1000)
System Level: Three Stars (True energy conversion ratio: 25%.)
As his mind sank into the system panel, Bu Fang's expression remained unchanged. However, he was secretly excited. The sales volume had already reached 3,600 crystals. As long as he sold another four hundred crystals, he would be able to complete the mission. The system would level up and his cultivation level would increase as well.
Four hundred crystals was roughly equivalent to a day's worth of sales.
"Looks like I'll probably be able to level up after business ends tomorrow. I wonder what kind of special reward I'll get for leveling up to fourth grade Battle-Spirit. However, the collection of the God of Cooking sets should be complete by then," Bu Fang muttered.
After resting for a while, he also stood up and walked toward the kitchen. Cooking the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup required a lot of time and also required the use of true energy. Thus, Bu Fang did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
He opened the door of the iron cage and directly grabbed the Blood Phoenix Chicken out. This Blood Phoenix Chicken was, after all, a fifth-grade spirit beast. Even though it was restricted by the system within the store, it still had quite a bit of strength when it struggled.
However, Bu Fang was an experienced chef after all. It was still very easy for him to deal with these ingredients. In just a short while, the Blood Phoenix Chicken was completely prepared.
After taking out the Heavenly Sage Herb from the exquisite box and some of the medicinal ingredients he needed from the leather bag, Bu Fang started to prepare the Elixir Cuisine, the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup.
…
After King Yu returned to his manor, he was in a good mood. Perhaps it was because he had tasted the delicacies and wine, Ji Chengyu felt as if he was floating as he walked.
"I didn't expect the dishes of that store to be so delicious. That Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine is truly unforgettable." As he recalled the enchanting taste of the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, King Yu could not help but lick his lips as a hint of intoxication appeared in his eyes.
It was another person who was captivated by Bu Fang's delicacies.
King Yu suddenly regretted not going to Fang Fang's Little Store earlier. If he had, he would have been able to taste these delicacies earlier.
Just as King Yu was thinking about the dishes cooked by Bu Fang, the head elder of the Soul Sect, Hun Qianyun, appeared in front of King Yu with his subordinates. These people were all wrapped in black robes and had a rather eerie and terrifying appearance.
A hint of disgust flashed through his eyes, but on the surface, King Yu was still smiling as he looked at them.
"I wonder if King Yu gained anything from that mysterious store?" Hun Qianyun's hoarse voice rang out. It was as if his voice was rubbing against gravel, causing one's hair to stand on end.
"That elder brother of mine has already gathered the Blood Phoenix Chicken. He brought the precious medicinal ingredients and Blood Phoenix Chicken to the store and asked the owner to cook the Elixir Cuisine. However … the Elixir Cuisine can only be completed tomorrow," King Yu simply said.
"Oh? It can only be completed tomorrow? "Hun Qianyun narrowed his eyes and his spirit fire flickered as if he was in deep thought.
King Yu nodded and said, "The Elixir Cuisine isn't an ordinary dish after all. Even the owner of that mysterious store would have to spend some effort to cook it. However, this is good news for us."
"King Yu, do you mean that I need to bring some people with me to destroy the soup tomorrow?" Hun Qianyun doubtfully asked.
"That's right, it must be destroyed. Father is old and frail with hidden injuries all over his body. Forcefully extending his lifespan will only make him suffer even more. As a son, how can I hope to see my father suffering …" King Yu simply said. Then, his gaze fell on Hun Qianyun and he said, "Arrange for some people to bring along the experts from my manor and set up an ambush at the entrance of the alleyway tomorrow. Remember, you must destroy that Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup.
"If you fail this time … then you can leave with your people."
Hun Qianyun indifferently stood in the distance. When he heard King Yu's words, the spirit fire in his eyes suddenly trembled. Then, he cupped his hands and retreated.
As King Yu watched Hun Qianyun's disappearing figure, the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he lightly shouted toward the distance, "Prepare a horse for me, I want to enter the palace."
...
The crown prince's palace on the left side of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
The crown prince, Ji Chengan, was sitting on a high seat with a gloomy expression. He was looking down at Xushi, who was kneeling on the ground. The corner of his mouth was slightly twitching, showing the anger he was suppressing.
Xushi was also feeling a little fearful and helpless. He knew that the crown prince had already begun to suspect him ever since King Yu found out that they were going to Fang Fang's Little Store.
"Xushi, can you explain to me why King Yu would appear in that store?" the crown prince simply asked.
"I … don't know." Xushi's face stiffened.
"I just told you yesterday to keep the news a secret. Then, I ran into King Yu as soon as I arrived at the store … Could it be that all of this is a coincidence?" The crown prince chuckled.
"Your Highness … Do you not trust me?" Xushi raised his head and solemnly looked at the crown prince. "I have been following Your Highness for several years. How could Your Highness not understand what I am doing?"
Xushi's tone was a little indignant and dispirited.
Ji Chengan was slightly startled. When he saw Xushi's dispirited appearance, his ice-cold expression also softened. He believed that Xushi would not betray him.
The reason he suspected Xushi today was because he was provoked by King Yu's gaze before he left. He was a dignified crown prince, why should he be bullied by a duke?
"Alright, I was also blinded by anger. Xushi, I am naturally aware of your loyalty. Go and make arrangements for the experts. Since King Yu already knows that we asked Owner Bu to cook the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup, the road to obtain the soup tomorrow will definitely not be safe. Find more experts with at least a fifth grade Battle-King."
"Yes, Your Highness. I will take my leave first." Xushi solemnly nodded and left with his hands cupped together.
However, after a while, Xushi, who had just left the crown prince's palace, hurriedly returned with an anxious expression on his face.
"Your Highness, I just received news that King Yu … entered the palace to meet His Majesty."
The crown prince's eyebrows immediately twitched and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He inwardly cursed Xushi for being despicable and also hurriedly changed his clothes before heading to the Main Hall to meet the emperor.
...
Night fell. Two crescent moons hung high in the sky and black clouds lingered around them.
At the entrance of the alleyway where Fang Fang's Little Store was located.
One figure after another suddenly descended. These people were all wearing black nocturnal clothes. The aura on their bodies was surging and their true energy was surging.
"We can't afford to make any mistakes in tomorrow's operation … We must finish setting up the magic array today."
Among the figures, a stooped figure appeared. Two gloomy spirit fires were burning in the night as his hoarse voice echoed in the air.
