Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 96, the Spiritual Cuisine Duel Ends.

At this moment, Zhu Daochang's voice rang out calmly behind Liu Jiangya and the others, dispelling the concealed senses.

Only then did Liu Jiangya and the other six realize that Zhu Daochang had been behind them the whole time, standing on the judges' platform. They quickly got up from their judges' chairs, turned around, and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Master Zhu!"

"Greetings, Master Zhu..." Long Liyou followed Chi Shujiao and respectfully bowed to Zhu Daochang.

"Hmm," Zhu Daochang nodded slightly, glancing at Long Liyou with a calm expression that revealed neither joy nor sorrow, and spoke indifferently to Liu Jiangya and the other seven.

"Let's continue with the third spiritual meal duel. No need to worry about it."

"Yes, Master Zhu." Liu Jiangya and the other six bowed respectfully again, then turned around and looked at Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena. Liu Jiangya then spoke.

"The third spiritual meal duel proceeds as normal."

In the hall on the second floor, Wu Changxiong, Gu Luoping, and the other cultivators who had come to watch the Spiritual Cuisine Duel and broaden their horizons also saw Zhu Daochang appear on the judges' platform.

He quickly bowed to Zhu Daochang, not daring to utter any loud words or do anything disrespectful.

"Yes, Senior Liu."

Mu Yunsheng bowed to Liu Jiangya in return. Upon seeing Zhu Daochang appear on the judges' stage, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes to adjust his mind for a moment, and then focused all his attention on preparing the third spiritual dish.

For the final dish in this spiritual cuisine duel, he would make the simplest one, a bitter spirit rejuvenating noodle dish with only two kinds of spiritual essence.

"Greetings, Master Zhu!" When Tai Hongfei saw Zhu Daochang appear on the judges' stage, he quickly bowed and greeted him.

However, Zhu Daochang didn't even glance at him, his gaze fixed on Mu Yunsheng, who was already grinding bitter wheat in the Spirit Food Duel Arena.

Upon seeing this scene, Tai Hongfei's eyes blazed with resentment and murderous intent. He glared fiercely at Mu Yunsheng before beginning to prepare the third spiritual dish.

He took out the various spiritual materials needed to make the spiritual meal from the storage bag, and they were all first-grade low-level spiritual materials.

"Although the Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles only have two kinds of spiritual essence fused together, it is still possible to make them..."

At this moment, Mu Yunsheng's mind was completely focused on making the Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles, and he had done every step perfectly.

Each grain of high-quality bitter spirit wheat, ground by his true essence and under the microscopic control of his mind, was transformed into bitter spirit flour rich in spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, Tai Hongfei placed the various first-grade mid-level spiritual materials he had taken out into the Tai family's spiritual kitchen artifact, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, and manipulated the incantation in his hand to control the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar.

Using the profound power of the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, the spiritual essence of the first-grade mid-level spiritual material inside the jar was dispelled.

The atmosphere in the hall on the second floor was quiet. Wu Changxiong and the other cultivators who had come to watch and broaden their horizons were focused on Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei, each preparing their third spiritual dish.

As they prepare this final spiritual dish, the spiritual dish duel will begin. Who will be the ultimate victor?
On the judges' platform in the hall, Liu Jiangya and Zhu Daochang remained silent, their faces calm and their expressions unwavering as they watched Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena.

Only Long Liyou, with her fair and delicate face, looked at Mu Yunsheng with nervousness and worry in her eyes. She didn't know anything about the Way of Spirit Chefs or Spirit Cuisine Duels.

All I want is for Mu Yun Sheng to win.

However, upon hearing Chi Shujiao's earlier words, "Tai Hongfei used the Qiankun Hualing Shanshan, that old bastard Tai Fu'an is shameless."

At this moment, Long Liyou realized that Mu Yunsheng was in the wrong, and she glared fiercely at Tai Hongfei.

If she possesses any secret techniques for cursing, she would probably have already begun to curse Tai Hongfei to death.

Undistracted by the outside world, Mu Yunsheng forced out the spiritual juice from the sheep's foot root with his true essence, and then kneaded the bitter spirit revitalizing dough.

He was very slow in this step. In the past, it would take Mu Yunsheng no more than two quarters of an hour to fully activate the spiritual essence and make a B-grade Bitter Spirit Qi-Replenishing Noodle.

However, today, while kneading the Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Dough, Mu Yun Sheng's mind, accompanied by his true essence, had already microscopically entered the kneading process.

Within it, the true essence is adjusted, forcing out the impurities contained in the kneading dough of bitter spirits, while the true essence actively nourishes the spiritual energy that is fusing within the dough.

"Boom~" At this moment, Tai Hongfei used the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar to refine all the spiritual essence of the various first-grade mid-level spiritual materials used to make spiritual food. The fire-controlling robe he was wearing was filled with a powerful surge of fire spirit.

Various first-grade mid-level spiritual materials with refined spiritual essence are wrapped in flames and fused with the spiritual essence that is mutually released from each other.

Looking around, one could see flames soaring in front of Tai Hongfei, the fiery black robe he wore radiating a bright red spiritual light, compared to Mu Yunsheng, who was kneading dough for bitter spirits on the cutting board.

More like a genius spiritual chef who prepares spiritual meals.

"Fancy!"

Upon seeing this, Long Liyou spoke with anger and disdain, her malice towards Tai Hongfei growing even stronger. A sky-blue scorpion crawled out from her sleeve and landed on her slender, jade-white hand.

The scorpion's highly venomous tail stood upright, as if it would fly towards Tai Hongfei in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena at any moment.

"You silly girl, Master Zhu is still here, why don't you quickly put away your Azure Poisonous Scorpion?" Chi Shujiao said to Long Liyou when she saw this, and then looked at Zhu Daochang.

"This girl is related to Fellow Daoist Long, isn't she? She is quite beautiful and has good talent for cultivation."

Zhu Daochang looked at Chi Shujiao and Long Liyou, a slight smile appearing on his usually calm face, and said with a smile.

He was not angered by Long Liyou summoning Gu worms in front of him.

"Replying to Master Zhu, this girl Long'er is indeed the great-granddaughter of our Lord. Her parents died early, and she has been spoiled by us elders. Please forgive her, Master Zhu."

Seeing that Zhu Daochang was not angry, Chi Shujiao quickly replied with a smile, "Long Sai, one of the seven great families of Qian Yuan Prefecture, only has three surnames: Long, Chi, and Xiong."

The main surname is Long, the surname Chi governs the law, and the surname Xiong governs the finances.

“Hmm,” Zhu Daochang nodded slightly, then stopped talking and looked back at Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei in the Spirit Cuisine Duel Arena.

Mu Yunsheng had already kneaded the Bitter Spirit Returning Qi dough, but his mind and true essence did not withdraw from the Bitter Spirit Returning Qi dough, and he still nurtured spiritual energy within it.

Shorten the time required for the dough to rehydrate and awaken.

Tai Hongfei manipulated the raging flames in front of him, struggling to blend the spiritual food and essence made from the flames, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans constantly seeping from his face.

"Disperse~" After a moment, Tai Hongfei changed his hand seals and dispersed the raging flames burning in front of him.

A spiritual dish, radiating a faint spiritual glow, its spiritual energy like wisps of mist, seemingly about to vanish at any moment, was revealed. "A mid-grade, first-tier spiritual dish, Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew... I finally made it! Haha~"

Looking at the spiritual food he had prepared, Tai Hongfei smiled with delight and surprise. He then quickly put the Tianyuan Zhaixinglu spiritual food, which seemed to be on the verge of extinction and whose quality was only at the lower-grade level, into the Qiankun Hualing jar.

By utilizing the wondrous properties of the Qiankun Transformation Jar, the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew Spiritual Food is nurtured and strengthened.

"I am able to make the Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew Spiritual Food, which I have cultivated for many years, in one go this time, and I have to thank you, you little scoundrel, for your help."

"In this final spiritual dish duel, let's see what kind of spiritual dish you, you little scoundrel, will use to defeat me! A mid-grade first-tier spiritual dish, Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew, ha~ha~"

Tai Hongfei laughed heartily, turned to look at Mu Yunsheng, and said with an arrogant smile.

"rise!"

At this moment, Mu Yunsheng also made the Bitter Spirit Returning Qi dough that had been awakened into a uniform and fine Bitter Spirit Returning Qi noodle, thoroughly activated its spiritual essence in boiling water, and put it into a jade bowl.

"Boom!" A powerful spiritual aura emanated from the Bitter Spirit Rejuvenation Noodles that Mu Yunsheng had prepared, and spiritual mist condensed like a sea of ​​clouds, surging above the jade bowl containing the Bitter Spirit Rejuvenation Noodles.

One by one, the bitter wheat and sheep's foot rejuvenating root plants continuously manifested, grew, and matured in the spiritual mist and sea of ​​clouds, as if they had formed another spiritual world where the bitter wheat and sheep's foot rejuvenating root grew.

At the same time, the spiritual energy in the hall on the second floor of the Xiankeju General Affairs Building beside Mu Yunsheng seemed to be gathered by the cultivators and converged towards the bitter spirit returning to the jade bowl.

It was absorbed and adopted by the spirits of the suffering spirits, thus strengthening their spiritual energy.

"Spiritual essence transforms into spiritual essence, a first-class quality spiritual meal!"

On the judges' platform, Liu Jiangya and the other six watched as Mu Yunsheng's Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles autonomously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, strengthening their spiritual essence. They exclaimed in astonishment.

Zhu Daochang stood on the judges' platform, looking at the top-quality Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles made by Mu Yunsheng, and a smile appeared on his usually calm face.

"Grandma Jiao, what is a top-grade spiritual dish? In this final spiritual dish duel, did Brother Mu win?"

Upon hearing the exclamations of Liu Jiangya and the others, Long Liyou hurriedly and happily inquired with Chi Shujiao.

"Grade A spiritual cuisine is the highest quality spiritual cuisine. It can absorb spiritual energy on its own to enhance its spiritual essence, just like the spiritual chef's magic weapon, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, of the Tai family."

"It can continuously absorb spiritual energy, enhance the spiritual essence of the spiritual food, and improve its effects."

"Just think of him as Brother Mu. He now has a Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, which is constantly improving the quality of the spiritual food he makes."

Chi Shujiao smiled and replied to Long Liyou, then looked at the smile that appeared on Zhu Daochang's calm face and continued to speak with a smile.

"As for whether your little brother Mu won, Grandma Jiao thinks it probably is."

At this point, Chi Shujiao stopped speaking and looked at Liu Jiangya and the other six. She saw that the six of them were smiling at Zhu Daochang's face and their eyes were also smiling. They felt that Mu Yunsheng should win this final spiritual food duel.

Zhu Daochang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-tier low-grade spiritual chef, has no shortage of spiritual cooking tools.

Although they had already predicted that Mu Yunsheng would win, Liu Jiangya and the other six did not dare to guess Zhu Daochang's intentions and directly pronounced the final spiritual food duel.

"A first-class quality spiritual cuisine. The spiritual chef who had a spiritual cuisine duel with Tai Hongfei of the Tai family actually produced a first-class quality spiritual cuisine."

"Even Tai Fu'an, a first-grade high-level spiritual chef, has never been able to produce a first-grade spiritual dish. Today, a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator who is having a spiritual dish duel with his grandson Tai Hongfei has actually managed to produce one."

"I've learned something new today, haha~ Watching the Spirit Cuisine Duel has really broadened my horizons. I've seen first-class quality spirit cuisine that I've never seen before."

In the hall on the second floor, Wu Changxiong and the other cultivators watched as Mu Yunsheng created a first-grade Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodle that seemed to be alive, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and increasing its spiritual charm.

They all looked astonished and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Tai Hongfei stood in front of his spiritual food preparation stove, looking at the top-quality bitter spirit energy-restoring noodles made by Mu Yunsheng, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he kept saying.

The spiritual kitchen artifact of the Tai family, Qiankun Hualing Shanshan, was still nurturing him, enhancing the spiritual energy of the first-tier mid-grade, Ding-low quality spiritual dish, Tianyuan Zhaixing Lu.

Looking at the Grade A Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles he had created, which were autonomously absorbing spiritual energy and strengthening their spiritual essence, a smile appeared on Mu Yunsheng's handsome face.

His gaze fell upon the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar, a magical artifact used by the spirit chef, which was absorbing spiritual energy and nurturing the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Star-Picking Dew in front of Tai Hongfei.

"Phew~" Mu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face grew even wider. After a month of hard training in the art of spirit cooking, he finally relied on his own talent as a spirit chef to surpass Tai Hongfei's family background in spirit cooking.

"Whoosh~" In the Spiritual Cuisine Duel Arena, the Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles in the jade bowl and the Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew in the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar each absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, strengthening their spiritual aura.

One is a first-grade low-level spiritual food, which absorbs spiritual energy and relies on the spiritual essence that has reached the first-grade quality of spiritual transformation.

One is a first-grade, mid-level, lower-grade spiritual food that absorbs spiritual energy to strengthen its spiritual essence, relying on the help of the spiritual kitchen artifact, the Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar.

The seven judges, including Liu Jiangya, sat on the judging panel watching this scene. They did not announce the verdict, nor did they ask Mu Yunsheng and Tai Hongfei to bring up their respective Bitter Spirit Qi-Returning Noodles and Heavenly Origin Star-Picking Dew Spiritual Food for tasting.

They awaited Zhu Daochang's words.

"Mu Yunsheng has won this spiritual food duel!" Zhu Daochang announced.

"Why? Master Zhu, Senior Liu Jiangya and the others haven't even tasted it yet. I made a mid-grade first-level spiritual dish."

"Even if this little man's Bitter Spirit Rejuvenating Noodles are of Grade A quality, it doesn't mean he can beat me."

Upon hearing Zhu Daochang's verdict, Tai Hongfei loudly protested, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Three days from now, deliver the secret recipe for your Tai family's Pure Spirit Qiankun Cuisine to Lanxing Academy, along with this Qiankun Spirit Transformation Jar. Since you, Tai Fu'an, have given it to your juniors to participate in the Spirit Cuisine Duel, then leave it here as well."

Zhu Daochang didn't even glance at Tai Hongfei. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the sky above the Tai Family Restaurant in Qihefang City, outside the Xiankeju General Affairs Building, where the spiritual energy was shifting.

A gigantic phantom of Zhu Daochang, formed from spiritual energy, stood above the Tai Family Restaurant and uttered a French command.

"Yes, I will strictly follow the instructions of the master!"

Inside the Tai Family Restaurant, Tai Fu'an looked at the phantom image of Zhu Daochang appearing in the sky, sighed deeply, and then his aged body quickly led the Tai family members in the restaurant to respectfully bow in return.
