Chapter 1914: Even Spirit Chefs Play at Crossing Borders?

The more Ye Zhangqing remained so calm, the more Wu Zhong's heart burned with anger.

This was just like an elder facing a junior, not taking the opponent seriously at all; although it was called a comparison, Ye Zhangqing's performance was more like teaching.

He gritted his teeth and thought viciously.

Ye Zhangqing paid no attention to what Wu Zhong was thinking, and calmly handled the ingredients in his hands.

Even when Wu Zhong took out Immortal Beast-level dragon turtle ingredients, Ye Zhangqing showed no reaction.

The quality of the ingredients indeed could enhance the dish's deliciousness and efficacy.

But ultimately it still depends on personal Chúyì.

When the Chúyì levels are comparable, the difference in ingredients can indeed show up, deciding the final outcome.

But Ye Zhangqing did not think Wu Zhong's Chúyì could compare to his own, so the monster beast ingredients were enough.

Ye Zhangqing acted as if no one else were there, wholeheartedly handling the ingredients in his hands, completely unaffected by the people around him.

On the other side, after Wu Zhong fiercely glared at Ye Zhangqing twice, he also forcibly steadied his mind, and soon turned his attention to preparing the dish.

In this regard, Wu Zhong was much stronger than Zhang Wuyue and the others.

At the Cooking King Hall that time, Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but keep watching Ye Zhangqing from start to finish.

Little did he know, if even his own heart couldn't calm down, how could he make a perfect dish?

Wu Zhong obviously understood this principle, so even though he was angry and jealous in his heart, once he actually started working, he no longer paid attention to Ye Zhangqing.

His eyes only fixed on the task at hand, he did his best to achieve a mind free of distractions, discarding any thoughts that shouldn't be there.

Both began cooking, and the surrounding people then fell silent; the many disciples who had been whispering also closed their mouths.

Only their curious gazes kept sweeping back and forth over the two of them.

Both were very serious, but in terms of speed, Ye Zhangqing was clearly much faster.

Moreover, it was clearly visible that Wu Zhong seemed a little nervous, so every step he took was done with extreme care.

But precisely because he was overly careful, it instead gave people a strange feeling.

For example, as a Spirit Chef, the most basic process of cutting meat, because of Wu Zhong's caution, gave people an unfamiliar feeling.

Logically, as the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, Wu Zhong should not have shown such a situation.

In contrast, Ye Zhangqing was completely different.

From the start of cooking until now, every step could be described as flowing like clouds and water.

Although equally serious, there was no sign of the slightest tension, and his whole person appeared very relaxed.

Precisely because of this relaxation, Ye Zhangqing's cooking process gave people an extremely comfortable feeling.

Watching Ye Zhangqing's movements, Bai Yuan, Huang Lao, Hei Lao and the other strong ones of the Cooking King Immortal City all nodded slightly in praise.

But as of now, Ye Zhangqing's performance absolutely crushed Wu Zhong's, the gap between them plainly visible to the naked eye.

However, just based on this point alone, it still doesn't prove anything, after all the final result still depends on how the dish turns out after leaving the pot.

All that can be said is that Wu Zhong's mindset compared to Ye Zhangqing's is far too lacking, with no comparison in this aspect.

With Ye Zhangqing's flowing like clouds and water, his speed naturally was also much faster than Wu Zhong's.

On Wu Zhong's side, he had just finished handling the Dragon Turtle ingredients, while on Ye Zhangqing's side, the ingredients were already in the pot.

As various ingredients entered the pot and were stir-fried, a rich aroma soon wafted out.

The crowd that had already gathered around the square, upon smelling this aroma, each couldn't help but gulp down saliva wildly.

At first they still wore expressions of enjoyment; as Spirit Chefs, they originally wanted to restrain themselves a bit.

But as this aroma continuously rushed into their nostrils, many people could no longer hold back.

This flavor thoroughly drew out the craving worms in everyone's stomachs.

Couldn't hold back, really couldn't hold back.

However, with Bai Yuan and the other strong ones of the Cooking King Immortal City present, the many disciples who were drooling from craving could only forcibly suppress their inner agitation.

Merely, the gazes directed at Ye Zhangqing, as time passed, became increasingly fervent.

Ye Zhangqing also did not deliberately delay time; he normally finished cooking, the dish left the pot, and he said to Huang Lao beside him.

"Senior, can you let everyone.................."

"First give this old man a bowl."

But Huang Lao didn't wait for Ye Zhangqing to finish speaking; he himself first served himself a bowl, then arranged for Bai Yuan to let the people present come forward in order to taste Ye Zhangqing's dish.

Holding a big bowl full of food, Huang Lao couldn't help but go straight to the back of the stove, found an empty spot and squatted down, then began to gobble it up wildly.

Eating it was extremely comfortable.

The flavor was as delicious as ever, making Huang Lao unable to put it down.

Afterwards came Bai Yuan and the others; regarding Ye Zhangqing's skill, they were naturally very curious as well.

Earlier, they had already been made ravenous by the aroma; seeing Huang Lao start eating, Bai Yuan immediately turned to the Elders such as Ma Qiankun and said.

"Have the disciples line up to come forward and taste the dish."

"Huh???"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Ma Qiankun and the others to reply, Bai Yuan and the others followed suit, each serving themselves a big bowl of rice, and likewise began to eat heartily.

Watching Huang Lao, Bai Yuan and the others eat with oil dripping from their mouths, the group of Elders also looked on, salivating.

Already unable to resist due to the aroma, now seeing Bai Yuan and them eating so deliciously, how could they still hold back?

However, with so many disciples present, someone indeed needed to maintain order.

The Elders could only swallow their saliva while arranging the disciples to line up orderly and come to Ye Zhangqing's stove to begin tasting the dish.

Fortunately, the Elders were ahead of the disciples in line, so they could eat first.

But with so many people, each could only get a small share, after all it was just a taste, in other words just sampling the flavor.

So each person got only that small spoonful.

At first, everyone had no particular thoughts, but as several elders took the lead, using a small plate to serve some dishes, they tasted a bite and were immediately stunned.

The dishes Ye Zhangqing prepared were very simple, just three dishes.

After the elders took the first bite, each of them stared wide-eyed, their eyes full of surprise.

This dish............

The flavor of this dish is truly superb, so delicious that, upon self-reflection, even they probably couldn't make it.

With looks of astonishment, they gazed at the stove area behind, where Ye Zhangqing was chatting intermittently with Huang Lao while remaining calm, and several elders revealed a hint of complex emotion in their eyes.

How outrageous is this kid's cooking skill? He hasn't even been promoted to Immortal Chef, yet he can make such delicious food.

This leaves these old-timers who are already Immortal Chefs wondering how to conduct themselves.

I've heard of top-tier Yāoniè crossing borders to slay enemies, but I've never heard of a Spirit Chef being able to cross borders and surpass Immortal Chefs.

This is somewhat outrageous.

Among the many elders, only Ma Qiankun remained calm.
