Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 95, The Spirit Kitchen Artifact, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar

Do either of you have any objections to this judgment?

After Liu Jiangya announced the results of the first spiritual meal duel between Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei, he asked them for their opinions.

"Reporting to Senior Liu, this junior has no objection." Mu Yunsheng bowed and replied, his expression turning somber upon hearing Liu Jiangya's verdict.

However, he could accept it, and his expression remained unchanged.

Mu Yunsheng also understood that, in terms of the auxiliary effect of spiritual food on cultivators, the Tiger Essence Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Food made by Tai Hongfei could help cultivators to increase their cultivation level in a short period of time.

It is indeed much more precious and rare than Dragon Tooth Water Essence Porridge in restoring the internal injuries of cultivators.

The former allows a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator to temporarily possess the cultivation level of a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator and fight against a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, which is beneficial to both the individual cultivator and the cultivator's faction.

Their value far exceeds that of Longya Shuiyuan Porridge.

Given the same quality level, compared to Dragon Tooth Water Porridge, Tiger Essence Burning Blood Marrow Spiritual Delicacy is naturally the winner, as its preparation technique is more difficult and its value is higher.

"Reporting to the Liu family of Lingdan, I, Tai Hongfei, have no objection to what Senior Liu Jiangya said." Tai Hongfei also bowed to Liu Jiangya and replied, looking at Mu Yunsheng with a happy and proud expression.

"Alright, since there are no objections, let's begin preparing your second spiritual dish. The various spiritual ingredients needed for this dish can also be provided free of charge by the Immortal Guest House."

Liu Jiangya nodded and then sat down.

"Yes, Senior Liu," Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei replied simultaneously, bowing.

“If I were you, I would admit defeat immediately. The difference between us is not as simple as this one spiritual dish. I can just take out any spiritual dish.”

"These are all secret recipes for making rare spiritual dishes that you, a lowly rogue cultivator, would never even dare to dream of."

Tai Hongfei stood in front of his spiritual food preparation stove, turned to Mu Yunsheng, and said with an arrogant, mocking laugh.

Mu Yunsheng remained silent, but smiled and pouted at Tai Hongfei, gesturing to Liu Jiangya and the other seven high-ranking cultivators from the seven major families of Qianyuan Prefecture who were sitting on the judges' platform.

Silently, they questioned Tai Hongfei: if he's so talented, why doesn't he compete with Liu Jiangya and the other seven masters on the judging panel?

Tai Hongfei's arrogant smile vanished as he understood Mu Yunsheng's unspoken question. Frustrated and angry, he turned away from Mu Yunsheng and began preparing his second spiritual dish.

Even if he were arrogant, he wouldn't dare to say it. Compared to Liu Jiangya and the other seven great families of Qianyuan Prefecture, if he said it at noon, his Tai family would sink into the Yuqian River that afternoon.

Even a quarter of an hour late is considered a failure on the part of the disciples of the seven families.

Seeing that Tai Hongfei had been humiliated, Mu Yunsheng dared not say anything more. A smile bloomed on his face as he began to prepare his second spiritual dish.

He can sometimes be just like Mu Qinghu, with a mischievous and playful nature, teasing people.

"Although the main ingredient in the making of Qianqing Fuyun noodles is bitter wheat, the wonder lies in the transformation of Qianqing into the spiritual essence of Qingyun spiritual rice."

"The collision and growth of the two spiritual essences give rise to a new Qianqing spiritual essence, and the spiritual energy rises out, becoming the true Qianqing Fuyun Surface."

Mu Yunsheng circulated his true essence. The second spiritual dish he was going to make was Qianqing Fuyun Noodles. The whispered thoughts in his mind were after he made a breakthrough in the technique of making Qianqing Fuyun Noodles.

I have gained a lot of new insights into the craftsmanship of making Qianqing Fuyun noodles.

“Wow~wow~”

Tai Hongfei, who was standing to the side, was also preparing the spiritual ingredients needed for his second spiritual dish, which was a spiritual fish that was more than a person's length long.

Strangely, Tai Hongfei did not want the fish's body or flesh, but only its scales.

In the main hall on the second floor of the Immortal Guest Residence, the cultivators who had been watching and learning had quieted down and were now silently watching the Spiritual Cuisine Duel Arena.

The second spiritual dish was prepared by Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei.

Time passed quickly again, a little over an hour later.

"Only wait for the arrival of spring rain, the dry and green will transform, and the spirit will be born like spring buds, supporting the clouds to rise!"

"Spirit Rain Technique." Mu Yunsheng's hands formed a magic seal, and the spirit rain containing the life force of the bitter wheat sprouts fell on the Qianqing Fuyun dough he had prepared in front of him.

"Pitter-patter~" Fine spring rain dripped down, and the Qianqing Fuyun dough in front of Mu Yunsheng, which served as "spiritual soil," was bright with spiritual charm and light, and spiritual energy rose and gathered like white mist.

The illusory images of Qingyun Spirit Rice, Bitter Spirit Wheat, and Sheep's Foot Restoration Root evolved in the sea of ​​mist brimming with spiritual energy.

Strands of azure spiritual energy emerged from the azure cloud-supporting dough, drifting into the sea of ​​mist where spiritual energy gathered, weaving through the ever-evolving phantoms of azure cloud spirit rice and bitter spirit wheat.

It looks just like the mountains on both sides of the Yuqian River outside Qihefang City at this moment, with fine rain falling and white mist rising from the mountains.

It only had a touch of cyan spiritual energy, which swirled and floated within it, with the phantom of a spiritual plant constantly evolving, like a divine food for immortals.

"A first-grade low-level spiritual dish, Qingfu Cloud Noodles, which can help cultivators increase their cultivation. Please, seniors of the seven families, taste it!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Mu Yunsheng divided the prepared Qianqing Fuyun noodles in front of him into eight pieces and placed them into a jade plate. He then bowed to Liu Jiangya and the other seven judges on the judging panel and said...

"Oh~ Grade B spiritual food, it seems the seven of us are truly in for a treat today, hahaha~"

An elderly man with a ruddy complexion and radiating fire spirit energy, standing next to Liu Jiangya, looked at the Qianqing Fuyun Noodles made by Mu Yunsheng and said with a happy smile.

This old man was Zhou Qianshan, the transmission elder of the Zhou family, one of the seven great families of Qianyuan Prefecture, and also a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

"Haha~ Brother Zhou is right. It's been a long time since I've had a second-grade spiritual meal. I never expected to be able to eat it today." Liu Jiangya said with a smile.

Chi Shujiao and four other judges were high-ranking cultivators from the Lingxiang Qu family, the Lingfu He family, the Lingshou Xuanshou sect, and the Yiqi Chaoyang sect.

Upon seeing the Grade B Qianqing Fuyun Noodles made by Mu Yunsheng, a smile and an interested look appeared on his face.

Given their status and cultivation level at the peak of Qi Refining, they naturally had no shortage of first-grade low-level spiritual food, though they could afford second-grade spiritual food.

However, it requires a spirit chef, someone with considerable talent in spirit cooking, to comprehend and create it.

Therefore, even though Liu Jiangya and his group were high-ranking cultivators of the seven great families of Qianyuan Prefecture and were also Qi Refining Perfection cultivators, they still rarely got to taste it.

After all, for their own cultivation level, the first-grade low-level spiritual food can no longer bring them any help; it can only be used to satisfy their appetite.

Liu Jiangya and his companions wouldn't go to such lengths to find a low-grade, first-tier spiritual dish just to satisfy their cravings. The female cultivator from the Immortal Guest House's General Affairs Department, who had been waiting nearby, carried the eight portions of Qianqing Fuyun Noodles, prepared by Mu Yunsheng, from the spiritual dish duel arena to Liu Jiangya and his group on the judges' platform.

"Grade B spiritual food! How is this possible... How could a lowly rogue cultivator possibly produce Grade B spiritual food? This is impossible."

Tai Hongfei stared in disbelief at the Grade B Qianqing Fuyun Flour that Mu Yunsheng had created, muttering to himself in utter astonishment, his mind in turmoil.
This caused the spiritual food he was preparing to fail due to an unstable fusion of spiritual essences, resulting in a slight booming sound. "Boom!"

Liu Jiangya and the other judges on the platform heard the barely audible sound, looked at Tai Hongfei, saw his startled and flustered appearance, and shook their heads slightly.

Then they began to appreciate the second-grade quality Qianqing Fuyun noodles made by Muyun Sheng.

Long Liyou also received a score. She smiled sweetly at Mu Yunsheng and did not try to snatch Chi Shujiao's judge's card. Instead, she gave Mu Yunsheng a high score.

However, she still looked at Chi Shujiao with her big, watery eyes, asking her to give Mu Yunsheng a high score.

Mu Yunsheng turned his head slightly to look at Tai Hongfei, and heard the faint sound of his failed attempt to make the spiritual dish. He saw that Tai Hongfei was in a state of great confusion.

There was no attempt to remake the spiritual food, nor to calm the mind and salvage the failed attempt.

Mu Yunsheng frowned slightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked back at Liu Jiangya and the other seven judges on the judging panel, waiting for them to give their scores for Qianqing Fuyun Noodles.

"Superior Level A", "Intermediate Level A", "Lower Level A", "Lower Level A", "Superior Level C", "Superior Level C", "Lower Level A"

After a short while, Liu Jiangya and his group of seven gave their scores: one was rated A (superior), one A (intermediate), two C (superior), and three A (inferior).

The Grade B quality Qianqing Fuyun noodles made by Mu Yunsheng received an overall score of Grade A (lower tier).

"Tai Hongfei, do you want to prepare a second spiritual dish? If you don't, Mu Yunsheng will win the spiritual dish duel."

"You two begin preparing the final spiritual dish."

Liu Jiangya frowned slightly and asked Tai Hongfei, who had not yet started preparing the second spiritual dish.

As the law enforcement elder of the Liu family, he couldn't bear to see the Liu family disciples looking so shocked and distraught after failing to refine elixirs, such as Tai Hongfei, who was a member of the Liu family.

He had already enforced the Liu family's rules.

"Replying to Senior Liu Jiangya, this junior, Tai Hongfei, will forgo the preparation of the second spiritual dish." Upon hearing Liu Jiangya's unfriendly question, Tai Hongfei was startled and quickly regained his composure, bowing respectfully in fear and nervousness.

"In that case, Mu Yunsheng will win the second spiritual dish duel, and the two of you will begin preparing the third spiritual dish."

Liu Jiangya flicked his sleeves, becoming even angrier at Tai Hongfei's reply.

"Yes, Senior Liu." Mu Yunsheng bowed and replied, then stood in front of the spiritual food preparation stove and began to prepare the third spiritual dish.

"Yes, Senior Liu Jiangya." Tai Hongfei also hurriedly bowed and said. After Liu Jiangya sat down on the judges' platform, he turned to look at Mu Yunsheng and said with a ferocious expression.

"You despicable person, you distracted me and caused my second dish of spiritual food to fail. I will never let you get away with this."

"Don't think you can beat me and win the Spirit Cuisine Duel just like that. In the final Spirit Cuisine duel, I will show you the difference between you and me, and let you know what despair is."

After saying this, Tai Hongfei blamed Mu Yunsheng for his failure to make the second spiritual dish, and took out a magic pot with strong spiritual energy from his storage bag.
Mu Yunsheng was about to grind the bitter wheat when he heard Tai Hongfei's accusatory words. He looked at him blankly, then was attracted by the magical jar with strong spiritual energy that Tai Hongfei took out.

"What kind of magic weapon is this?"

"The Tai family's magical kitchen artifact, the Qiankun Transformation Jar!"

Chi Shujiao, standing on the judges' platform, muttered softly. When she saw the magic pot that Tai Hongfei had taken out, her brows furrowed slightly, and she spoke with anger and mockery in her eyes.

"First the Fire-Controlling Robe, then the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar. This old bastard Tai Fu'an really has no fear of losing face, bringing out all the secrets of his Tai family."

"No wonder you didn't dare come to the Xiankeju General Affairs Building today. Such shameless behavior, aren't you afraid of offending people..."

Chi Shujiao stopped speaking abruptly, her mind racing.

"Grandma Jiao, what kind of magic artifact is the Qiankun Transformation Jar? Did that ugly man cheat? If he cheated, we should quickly declare him the loser and let Brother Mu win."

Upon hearing Chi Shujiao's words, Long Liyou's delicate, fair face immediately lit up with excitement, and she spoke to Chi Shujiao.

"Long'er, this isn't something your grandmother can decide." Chi Shujiao's heart tightened for a moment, but seeing that nothing had happened and that Zhu Daochang hadn't reprimanded her, she relaxed and smiled at Long Liyou.

Then Chi Shujiao looked at Liu Jiangya and the other six and asked them.

"What should we do about this? Should we report it to Master Zhu? The Fire-Controlling Robe is fine; it just enhances a cultivator's control over fire magic and reduces the consumption of true essence when using fire magic."

"However, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar can help spiritual chefs refine the spiritual essence of spiritual materials more easily, making it easier for the spiritual essence of various spiritual materials to blend together."

"Furthermore, it can enhance the spiritual essence of nourishing spiritual food. A portion of Grade D spiritual food placed in the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar can become Grade C spiritual food."

"Is this unfair to today's spiritual food duel?"

Liu Jiangya and the other six also frowned slightly as they looked at the Qiankun Transformation Jar that Tai Hongfei had taken out. They had some understanding of this spiritual kitchen artifact of the Tai family.

"This matter still requires Master Zhu's decision," Liu Jiangya said thoughtfully, though he also wondered about Tai Hongfei using the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar to prepare the third spiritual dish for the duel.

Feeling that this was unfair, but not daring to go over Zhu Daochang, they directly declared Tai Hongfei the loser.

The main point is that the seven of them visited Zhu Daochang in a private room on the top floor of the Xiankeju General Affairs Building.

Zhu Daochang did not say anything to the seven of them about the Spiritual Cuisine Duel, or whether he hoped Mu Yunsheng or Tai Hongfei would win.

Otherwise, let alone Tai Hongfei taking out the Tai family's spiritual kitchen artifact, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, Tai Hongfei would have stepped into the spiritual cuisine duel arena with his right foot first.

Liu Jiangya and the other six will also judge Tai Hongfei as the loser in today's Spiritual Cuisine Duel because he did not abide by the rules of the Spiritual Cuisine Duel.

Although Liu Jiangya and the other six were present when Mu Yunsheng entered the top-floor private room to pay his respects to Zhu Daochang, they dared not presume to speculate about the intentions of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-tier low-grade spiritual chef.

"The spirit cuisine duel proceeds as normal. The most important thing for a spirit chef is his own culinary skills. Although spirit cooking tools can help a spirit chef to make spirit cuisine better."

"But it cannot help the spirit chef improve his own spirit cooking skills."
