Chapter 878: [Immortal Chef Successor] Lu Yunyang

"Master Lu, please look at the cultivator standing in the corner who is smiling and can't see his eyes. His name is Xie Qi. He is a hot favorite spirit chef for the championship in this competition. He has never been defeated in a spirit chef duel!" Ma Bin, the royal chef of the Imperial Kitchen, introduced the various spirit chefs to Lu Yang with all his heart.

Xie Qi had a medicine jar wrapped around his waist, smiling at everyone, as if he hadn't opened his eyes. In the spirit chef world, Xie Qi was famous. Even among five-star spirit chefs, there were differences in strength. Other five-star spirit chefs looked at him with dodging eyes. This was awe for the strong.

But Lu Yang didn't notice that other spirit chefs also quietly stayed away from Ma Bin.

Ma Bin was also a hot favorite spirit chef for the championship!

"Oh, so capable?"

"Xie Qi has an ability, I don't know if it's due to cultivation techniques or if he was born like this, he can imitate other people's movements."

"And his tongue is also extraordinary, most sensitive to the taste of food. Even the smallest flaws will be infinitely magnified in his mouth."

"Anyone who has a spirit chef duel with him, he will completely imitate the opponent's movements, and after tasting the finished product, he will improve it on the basis of the finished product."

"In this way, the dishes he makes will always be a step better than his opponent!"

Lu Yang nodded. This was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with.

"Anything else?"

"And that female cultivator wearing an ice-blue dress, her name is An Tong. She has also never been defeated, but she relies on hard strength. Although she was born without a sense of taste, her vision, touch, smell, and hearing are all far beyond cultivators of the same level. She can rely on the four senses to make top-grade dishes!"

Lu Yang had seen this woman in the crowd gathered by Jin Tan, but didn't know her name: "So her name is An Tong."

Ma Bin introduced these spirit chefs one by one, and it wasn't just five-star ones. There were also other groups of spirit chefs, after all, the Cultivation Monthly Report couldn't just write about five-star spirit chef competitions. 【87

Following the sound of a gong, the Spirit Chef competition officially began. Five groups of spirit chefs started simultaneously, and Lu Yang and the others entered the arena one after another. Every time a renowned spirit chef appeared, it would draw gasps of amazement from the audience.

"Look quickly, that's 【Golden Blade Master】 Duan Lang!"

"That's 【Poison Granny】!"

"That's 【Blade of the Imperial Kitchen】 Ma Bin!"

"That's 【Immortal Tongue】 Xie Qi!"

"That's 【Undefeated】 An Tong!"

Yun Yun Mengmeng listened for a long time but couldn't hear anyone calling the Second Master's name. She was puffed up with anger, feeling that the audience truly had no eye for talent. The Second Master was a successor of the Immortal Chefs, far more impressive than some Golden Blade Master or Poison Granny.

"That, that is actually the 【Successor of the Immortal Chefs】 Lu Yunyang!" Yun Yun Mengmeng stood on the viewing platform, suddenly pointing at Lu Yang, revealing an expression of disbelief.

It was just that her expression seemed a bit exaggerated. Fortunately, the audience was attracted by Lu Yang's title and didn't pay too much attention to Yun Yun Mengmeng's expression.

"What successor of the Immortal Chefs? Who dares to claim such a grand title?"

"Where? Where?"

"What, you don't recognize him?" Yun Yun Mengmeng was extremely surprised.

"Who is he?" The audience members were all seasoned gourmets. They racked their brains, yet they still couldn't think of any spirit chef who had been crowned with such a heaven-defying title as 【Successor of the Immortal Chefs】.

Yun Yun Mengmeng said mysteriously: "It is rumored that Lu Yunyang received instruction from an Immortal Chef in a dream and mastered techniques that only immortals possess. His blade technique is at the pinnacle, and his medicinal cuisine is unparalleled. His fame is not widely known only because the immortal instructed him to remain low-key for ten years to temper his character."

"Ten years have passed, and this sharp sword of his can finally be unsheathed!"

"Is that true or false? Why does it sound so fake?"

"Did this kid receive the inheritance of the Ying Tian Immortal?"

Although Yun Yun Mengmeng made it sound quite convincing, the seasoned gourmets weren't stupid; they wouldn't believe everything Yun Yun Mengmeng said.

In the spirit chef world, only taste is everything!

Clearly, Yun Yun Mengmeng was not as talented at lying as Lu Yang.

The Spirit Chef Grand Competition consisted of three rounds, testing knife skills, ingredients, and dishes respectively. It was an elimination format; only by passing the previous round could one enter the next.

Five groups competed simultaneously, with the same content for each.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Song Tianjing's forehead. This first round was said to test knife skills, but it didn't look like it.

In the two-star spirit chef competition, all two-star spirit chefs were locked in a beast-fighting arena. As cage after cage opened, countless Foundation Establishment stage demon beasts crawled out, baring their fangs and staring at these two-star spirit chefs, viewing them as food.

"What, you wouldn't even be unable to beat a demon beast, would you?" Young Master Wu looked at Song Tianjing, who was so scared, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold sneer. It seemed Song Tianjing was nothing more than this; he would be eliminated even without being targeted.

Young Master Wu and Yu Qian'er were both two-star spirit chefs, and both had come to participate in this grand event.

Yu Qian'er explained to Song Tianjing: "The Spirit Chef Alliance believes that as a qualified spirit chef, the first thing to achieve is to defeat the ingredients. If you can't even beat the ingredients, what qualifications do you have to process them?"

"Therefore, the first round often tests how you defeat and process demon beasts."

After Yu Qian'er finished speaking, she didn't linger and charged toward an armored rhinoceros. The more difficult the spirit beast selected was to process, the higher the score would be during the final evaluation after the three rounds. This rhinoceros ranked in the top ten among all demon beasts and was a worthy opponent to challenge.

Song Tianjing's eye twitched. He was very confident in his knife skills, but the problem was that he had little combat experience and had never fought a demon beast before.

What to do? What to do?

Song Tianjing inadvertently saw Yun Yun Mengmeng in the audience, and his heart skipped a beat. Why were people from the Heavenly Court Sect here?

Could it be that the Young Sect Master had also come? Was he here to watch his performance?

If his performance was too poor, would he be wiped out by the Young Sect Master?

The more Song Tianjing thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He would risk it; rather than being killed by the Young Sect Master, he might as well be bold and fight the demon beast. He was at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage; he shouldn't be unable to beat even one demon beast.

Song Tianjing picked a purple marten. The purple marten stood on its hind legs, its front paws tucked into its fur, blinking its small eyes, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Noticing that Song Tianjing had chosen it, the Purple Sky Marten immediately bared its fangs, its eyes turning a ferocious red, and its claws scratched the ground, leaving behind streaks.

The audience was suddenly in an uproar, their attention focused on the two-star spirit chef group.

"Who is that person? He actually dares to choose the Purple Sky Marten!?"

"Is the Purple Sky Marten the strongest among this group of demon beasts?"

"Yes, this is the Beast King!"

The two-star spirit chefs also noticed Song Tianjing's choice, and sneers and mockery were constant.

"The Purple Sky Marten carries the bloodline of an ancient great demon. Its ancestors produced a Tribulation Transcendence stage demon emperor. Its movements are as fast as lightning, and spiritual sense cannot capture it at all."

"More than that, its claws are also exceptionally sharp. A light swipe can cut off a head. Is he tired of living by choosing it?"

"The Beast King Purple Sky Marten, even I wouldn't dare choose it as an opponent." Young Master Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Song Tianjing quietly reached into his bosom and stroked the "Complete Guide to Cooking" to encourage himself.

However, the moment he touched the "Complete Guide to Cooking," the Purple Sky Marten, which had been preparing to attack, suddenly felt something, the red in its eyes faded away, and it prostrated itself on the ground.

That was a fear born from its ancient bloodline that could never be uprooted, a great will that demon beasts could not contend with!

"What's wrong with the Purple Sky Marten?"

"No, it's not just the Purple Sky Marten, look at the other demon beasts!"

Gasps of amazement were constant in the audience, and some audience members were so shocked they stood up directly.

All the demon beasts in the beast-fighting arena extended their two front paws forward and prostrated on the ground, kneeling to Song Tianjing.

Yu Qian'er lightly covered her small mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with endless surprise.

"Is it this 'Complete Guide to Cooking'?" Song Tianjing immediately thought of the key point. His ancestral rubbings of the "Complete Guide to Cooking" had never made demon beasts feel fear. Could it be that only this original version of the "Complete Guide to Cooking" had this ability?!

This should be enough to satisfy Young Sect Master Lu, right?

The commotion on Song Tianjing's side was too great; Lu Yang couldn't help but notice it.

No way, a book that the Fairy gave away casually has this effect? Why have I never enjoyed this kind of treatment?!
