Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 94, Ugly! Therefore, it's a D-level.

“Yes~!”

Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei each stood beside their chosen cooking stoves and bowed to the seven judges, including Liu Jiangya. One wore a simple blue robe, while the other wore a fiery red spiritual chef's robe.

Then they each began to prepare their own spiritual meals.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" Mu Yunsheng opened the package on his back, and the various spiritual materials inside were scattered on the cutting board of the stove, including bitter spirit wheat, green cloud spirit rice, sheep's foot rejuvenating root...

Although Liu Jiangya had previously said that Xiankeju could provide the spiritual materials needed to make spiritual dishes free of charge.

However, this time Mu Yun Sheng did not intend to take advantage of the situation for free. Although he had simply packed these spiritual materials in ordinary cloth and carried them as a package, each and every one of them had been carefully selected by him.

Even the spirit rice and spirit materials such as bitter spirit wheat and green cloud spirit rice were carefully selected by Mu Yunsheng, one grain at a time, to ensure that they were the best quality he could find at the moment.

"Tch, a lowly rogue cultivator is a lowly rogue cultivator, he doesn't even have a single storage magic artifact."

When Tai Hongfei saw Mu Yunsheng, he took out the spiritual ingredients for making spiritual food from the package on his back, a sneer appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out the spiritual ingredients needed to make the spiritual meal from his storage bag.

"Mu... Friend Mu."

On the second floor, among the cultivators who had gathered to watch the Spirit Cuisine Duel and broaden their horizons, Wu Zhiyuan stared in astonishment at Mu Yunsheng appearing on the Spirit Cuisine Duel stage. He then quickly turned to Gu Luoping, who was standing not far away, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Gu, Fellow Daoist Mu is the spirit chef cultivator who had a spirit cuisine duel with Tai Hongfei."

"Yes, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Mu to know Master Zhu." Gu Luoping's face also showed surprise and delight as he exclaimed, then looked at Wu Zhiyuan and said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"I had just asked Fellow Daoist Mu if he knew who the spirit chef cultivator who was dueling with Tai Hongfei was. I never expected that Zhenyu would be right in front of Brother Wu and me, haha~"

After Gu Luoping finished speaking, he chuckled softly. The "true jade" he mentioned was Mu Yunsheng.

"Wu'er, Nephew Gu, do you know the cultivator who fought the Tai family brat in the Spiritual Cuisine Duel?"

Wu Zhiyuan's father, Wu Changxiong, the sect leader of Xiling Sect, known as the "Frozen River of Laws," overheard Wu Zhiyuan and Gu Luoping's conversation and asked them about it.

“We’ve only met twice, and we’re not close, so Father doesn’t need to have any useless ideas about you,” Wu Zhiyuan replied.

"Uncle Wu, my brother Wu and I did indeed know the cultivator who had the spiritual food duel with Tong Tai Hongfei, but as Brother Wu said, we only met twice and did not have any deep friendship."

Gu Luoping bowed respectfully in reply.

After listening, Wu Changxiong nodded, looked at Mu Yunsheng in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and then punched Wu Zhiyuan on the head in annoyance, saying something in an annoyed tone.

"What do you mean by telling your father not to have those useless ideas? I'm doing this for your own good. If you weren't my son, I wouldn't bother with you."

After saying that, Wu Changxiong continued to give instructions to Wu Zhiyuan and Gu Luoping.

"You two can spend more time with him in the future, but be careful not to offend the Tai family."

"Father means that Fellow Daoist Mu will lose." Wu Zhiyuan asked, rubbing his head, inwardly cursing Wu Changxiong for being so ruthless.

“It’s going to be tough! I heard that old devil Tai Fu’an has been focusing on teaching Tai Hongfei the art of spiritual cooking for the past month, and he even turned down the spiritual banquets from the Lu and Zhao families for it.”

"Now Tai Hongfei is even wearing that old ghost Tai Fu'an's Fire-Controlling Robe, which means he has made full preparations."

Wu Changxiong said, looking up again at Mu Yunsheng, who was fighting Tai Hongfei in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena.

“Is that so?” Wu Zhiyuan and Gu Luoping nodded, and looked at Mu Yunsheng as well. They never thought that Mu Yunsheng could beat Tai Hongfei.

After listening to Wu Changxiong's words, he agreed, only feeling that Mu Yunsheng's hope of defeating Tai Hongfei was even more remote.

Meanwhile, most of the other cultivators watching in the second-floor hall of the Immortal Guest Residence were also focused on Tai Hongfei, and did not think that Mu Yunsheng had any chance of winning.

However, what aroused the suspicion of these cultivators was that not a single cultivator from Tai Fu'an or even the Tai family appeared in the main hall on the second floor of the Xiankeju General Affairs Building.

"Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice is of the metal element, which can help cultivators enhance their blood and qi and strengthen their physical body. Its spiritual essence is more difficult to refine than that of Water Element Spirit Rice, and requires..."

Mu Yun Sheng's mind was focused on the spiritual food he was preparing, weakening his perception of his surroundings and becoming unaffected by external influences.

The first-grade low-level spirit rice, Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice, was processed grain by grain to ensure that the spiritual essence contained in the Dragon Tooth Spirit Rice could be refined more easily and exert a better effect later.

"Whoosh~" Tai Hongfei was also preparing his spiritual food. The fire spirit of the fire-controlling robe he was wearing surged out and formed a sea of ​​fire in front of him, about half a zhang in diameter, which was constantly burning in the air.

Then, Tai Hongfei threw the spiritual materials he had taken out into the sea of ​​fire, controlling them with his true essence to forge them.

Time passed quickly as Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei prepared their first spiritual dishes, and a little over two quarters of an hour later...

"out!"

With a shout, Tai Hongfei sent portions of fiery crimson liquid, burning fiercely, into the seven jade plates he had prepared.

It exudes a strong spiritual aura and light, with spiritual energy condensing like thick fog; it is a top-grade spiritual food.

"A first-grade low-level spiritual food, Tiger Essence Burning Blood Marrow, can help cultivators temporarily enhance their cultivation and increase their combat power. After consuming it, a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator can rival a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator and fight against them."

"Please, seven senior cultivators, appraise this!"

With a broad smile on his face, Tai Hong bowed to the seven high-level cultivators from the seven families on the judging panel, including Chi Shujiao and the others. He then glanced at Mu Yunsheng with an arrogant and disdainful look in his eyes.

"Yes!" Liu Jiangya nodded.

A beautiful female cultivator, who was waiting in the general affairs building of the Immortal Guest Residence, walked up to Tai Hongfei and placed the Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Delicacy that he had prepared on the table in front of Liu Jiangya and the other seven.

"Level D!"

Long Liyou suddenly spoke up, and without waiting for Chi Shujiao to taste the Tiger Yuan Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Food, she picked up her judge's plaque and directly gave Tai Hongfei the worst grade, D.

"Why? Senior Chi hasn't even tasted the Dragon Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Cuisine I made yet."

Tai Hongfei was furious. His smiling face turned angry and resentful, and he immediately questioned Long Liyou.

"Because you are too ugly, so ugly that I have no appetite. If a spiritual chef is too ugly, it will also affect the cultivator's appetite for spiritual food."

"So, it's Grade D!"

Long Liyou said confidently, her beautiful white face showing disgust and disdain as she looked at Tai Hongfei before quickly looking away.

It seemed that even glancing at Tai Hongfei would upset her.

"What...what kind of reason is this? I don't accept it!"

Tai Hongfei's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He wanted to curse Long Liyou, but he didn't dare. He could only shout angrily.

"Haha~ Cultivators who are too ugly will affect one's appetite for spiritual food." "Haha~ I think this fellow Daoist from Shangjia Longsai is right. I also lose my appetite when I see something too ugly."

The cultivators watching in the hall on the second floor laughed and chuckled upon hearing Long Liyou's explanation, while also subtly flattering him.

"You...!" Hearing the laughter of the surrounding cultivators, Tai Hongfei became even angrier and glared at them, but he could only glare at them.

The surrounding cultivators continued to laugh and chat without any restraint or fear. They had come all the way to the second floor of the Immortal Guest Residence's General Affairs Building to watch Tai Hongfei and Mu Yunsheng's spiritual food duel.

The power of the cultivators behind each of them was no less than that of Tai Hongfei's Tai family.

"Hehe~" Chi Shujiao chuckled, then said to Long Liyou with a smile, "Alright, Long'er, stop fooling around. How can you give a low score just because someone is ugly?"

After saying that, Chi Shujiao took the judge's card from the extremely unwilling Long Liyou and looked at Tai Hongfei, saying to him, "The score my Long'er gave earlier doesn't count. I will give a new score after tasting your Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Food."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Chi Shujiao." Upon hearing Chi Shujiao's words, Tai Hongfei's angry expression subsided slightly, and he bowed in gratitude.

“Hmm,” Chi Shujiao nodded slightly, looking at the Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Delicacy in front of her, intending to eat it and savor it, but her gaze turned to Tai Hongfei’s face.

Chi Shujiao felt she couldn't eat anymore, and glared at Long Liyou, who was sulking beside her, before turning her gaze to Mu Yunsheng.

Using Mu Yunsheng's handsome face as a guide, he ate the Tiger Yuan Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Food in front of him.

Meanwhile, the six judges, including Liu Jiangya, also tasted the Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Decoction prepared by Tai Hongfei and gave their respective scores.

"Intermediate Level C", "Advanced Level C", "Lower Level A", "Advanced Level C", "Advanced Level C", "Lower Level A".

Based on the comprehensive evaluation given by Liu Jiangya and the other six, Tai Hongfei's Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Dish received a "Superior C" rating.

"Grade C, Lower Level." Chi Shujiao gave her score after swallowing the Tiger Yuan Burning Blood Marrow.

Upon seeing the rating of C-level, Tai Hongfei's anger flared up again, but he dared not say anything more and turned to look at Mu Yunsheng.

"First-grade low-level spiritual food, Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge, can treat internal injuries of cultivators, nourish blood and strengthen vitality, restore the loss of essence and blood, and replenish vital energy."

"Please, seven senior experts, offer your critique!"

At this moment, Mu Yunsheng finished making the Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge and bowed to Liu Jiangya and the other seven judges on the judging panel.

In front of him were seven exquisite jade bowls, each containing a portion of Dragon Tooth Water Porridge, its spiritual energy as bright and clear as a dense fog.

It is also a superior quality spiritual food.

"Haha~ Good, I've always been a glutton. When I first started learning the art of alchemy, I often stole the medicinal herbs used to make elixirs and ate them."

"It's a pity that my Liu family doesn't have a lineage of spirit chefs, otherwise I might be a spirit chef now."

"I am fortunate to be invited by Master Zhu today, and I can satisfy my appetite. It is truly a pleasure. Hahaha."

Liu Jiangya said with a smile, bowing with both hands towards the horizon to express his gratitude to Zhu Daochang.

“Yes, yes…” Chi Shujiao and the other six also expressed their agreement with happy faces.

The female cultivator from the Immortal Abode's General Affairs Building placed the Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge that Mu Yunsheng had prepared on the table in front of the seven of them.

"Top Grade!" Without saying a word, Long Liyou snatched the judge's card from Chi Shujiao's hand and gave Mu Yunsheng the highest score, then feared that Chi Shujiao would change it.

He drank all the Dragon Tooth Water Porridge in front of her in one gulp.

Seeing this, Chi Shujiao shook her head helplessly, then looked at Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei and said.

"My son has already eaten the Dragon Tooth Water Porridge that Mu Xiaoyou made, so I cannot taste it and therefore I am abstaining from this evaluation."

Do either of you have any objections?

"Reporting to Senior Long Sai Chi, this junior Tai Hongfei has no objections." Tai Hongfei was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Chi Shujiao in reply. Then, he looked at Mu Yunsheng with a smug and mocking expression and said in a low voice.

"You think you can defeat me just by relying on your looks to deceive fellow Daoist Long Liyou of the Upper Dragon Realm? Spiritual cuisine duels are all about the skills of spiritual chefs."

"What good is being handsome? Now you've brought this upon yourself, haha..."

Tai Hongfei's face broke into a wide smile.

"Replying to Senior Chi, I still have Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge here. I wonder if I could ask Senior Chi to taste and rate it again?" Mu Yunsheng bowed to Chi Shujiao and asked, without responding to Tai Hongfei's mocking words.

When he was distributing the prepared Dragon Tooth Water Glutinous Rice Porridge, he deliberately gave Long Liyou an extra bowl, intending to give it to her after Liu Jiangya and the other seven had finished tasting and evaluating it.

Unexpectedly, Long Liyou ate Chi Shujiao's Dragon Tooth Water Porridge first, preventing Chi Shujiao from tasting and giving a score.

Mu Yunsheng did not blame Long Liyou for this matter.

Not to mention the kindness of Long Liyou in rescuing him from Tai Fu'an and Tai Hongfei's interrogation when he participated in the apprenticeship and fate test, there was also the kindness of Long Liyou in giving him the secret method of refining the Heavenly Dragon into a first-grade mid-level poisonous insect for free.

Mu Yunsheng couldn't possibly blame Long Liyou in his heart. Moreover, Long Liyou's consumption of Chi Shujiao's Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge and her subsequent rating were also attempts to help him.

"Grandma..."

Long Liyou was filled with self-reproach and guilt, and dared not look at Mu Yunsheng. Upon hearing his words, she quickly grabbed Chi Shujiao's hand and began to plead and beg.

"Okay." Chi Shujiao looked at Long Liyou, pleading and acting coquettishly, and smiled as she nodded and said to Mu Yunsheng.

A larger bowl of Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge was brought from Mu Yunsheng to the table in front of Chi Shujiao by a female cultivator from the Immortal Guest House's General Affairs Building.

Chi Shujiao looked at the bowl of Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge in front of her, which was clearly larger in portion. She glanced at Long Liyou beside her, then at Mu Yunsheng, and began to savor it without saying a word.

A short while later, the Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge made by Mu Yunsheng was tasted and scored by the seven judges, including Liu Jiangya.

Two are intermediate-level (C), three are advanced-level (C), one is advanced-level (A), and one is a junior-level (Jia).

The "A" rating was given by Chi Shujiao, and it was exactly the same as the initial rating given by Long Liyou.

After giving their scores, Liu Jiangya and his group of seven used magic to block the view of the cultivators watching in the second-floor hall, as well as Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei.

After the seven whispered and discussed for a while, Liu Jiangya stepped forward, dispelled the soundproofing spell he had previously set up, and spoke to Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei.

"In the first spiritual food duel, Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei's Dragon Tooth Water Element Porridge and Tiger Essence Blood Marrow Spiritual Food respectively received a C-grade rating."

"But after discussion among the seven of us, we found that the preparation technique for Tiger Essence Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Cuisine is more difficult than that for Dragon Tooth Water Essence Porridge, and at the same time, Tiger Essence Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Cuisine..."

"Its mystical properties, which can help cultivators to rapidly increase their cultivation level in a short period of time, are even more precious and rare than the Dragon Tooth Water Essence Porridge's ability to help cultivators recover from internal injuries."

"Therefore, Tai Hongfei wins the first spiritual food duel!"
