"The twisting of the golden dragon was caused by the zhenqi you added just now, right?”Nun Chixia's words exposed the mystery.
"Not bad."
Nun Chixia nodded. Just as she was about to eat the golden dragon, the two hawthorns that were used as eyes suddenly fell, and two black moths flew out from them. This scene not only shocked Priestess Chi Xia, but the surrounding people also exclaimed and discussed in private.
" Wow, so disgusting. It's actually a moth…"
"I didn't expect this Longyin House to make such a thing. Could it be that they want to poison people to death?”
"That's right, that's right. Why are you still eating? It's disgusting just looking at it…"
Just as everyone was talking about it, the two moths flew past the second dish and flew straight to Madam Jinling's soup. The two chefs of Longyin Restaurant immediately formed the same hand seal and shouted twice. The flying dragon left the root carving on the edge of the plate and pounced on the two moths. It opened its mouth and immediately sucked the moths back. However, some moth scales still spilled into the soup. Then, the dragon fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
At this time, everyone present was shocked. Only the fat chef of Qilin Restaurant was still looking at Madam Jinling with an evil smile, looking very proud.
Looking at the slowly darkening soup, Han Xu couldn't help but shout,"Mother, this soup…"
"No worries!" With that, Madam Jin Ling closed the lid of the cup and bowed to the two chefs of Longyin Restaurant. She said,"Thank you for your help!"
The handsome chef frowned slightly and looked apologetic." I'm sorry, senior! Junior still didn't help you, and instead harmed Senior…"
"It's fine. The two of you are thoughtful. The golden bell has its own tricks!”After saying that, Madam Jin Ling smiled contemptuously at the fat chef of Qilin Restaurant, causing the two of them to glare at her angrily. They didn't know what she was up to.
Since the desserts had been destroyed, he could only skip them and try the second dish.
"Stone Forest Bamboo Shoot Crab Painting!" Before the four of them could ask questions, a fat chef explained,"This painting of the stone forest is made entirely from the South Water Green Crab and the North Mountain Stalagmite. The north and south meet, and the taste is extraordinary.”
The four judges moved their chopsticks to taste it. As expected, the crab meat melted in their mouths. Coupled with the crisp sound of chewing stalagmites, the taste was indeed extraordinary. The fresh air of the spring water in the south and the peaceful breath of the fertile land in the north intertwined in his throat for a long time, leaving an endless aftertaste.
"Good food!" Shan Xinzi revealed a happy expression and could not help but praise. The other three nodded in satisfaction.
"Ha, looks like the outcome is already decided!" The fat chef smiled at Madam Jin Ling.
Madam Jin Ling completely ignored him, but Little Han Xu kept glaring at the fat chef and clenched his fists. If it weren't for his mother's stop, he would have taught these two villains a lesson.
"Next is the soup from the Bell House!"
The green-robed man's words made everyone's heart skip a beat. Everyone knew that victory and defeat would be decided in this one move. However, the two fat chefs were secretly happy, as if victory was in their grasp.
The Taoist priest solemnly opened the lid of the cup again, which shocked the four judges and the two fat chefs. The originally dim soup actually became clear again, as clear and pure as when it was first opened. The surrounding people did not know about this and only cheered.
"This is?" Shan Xinzi asked suspiciously.
"Soul Suppressing Soup!" After Madam Jinling finished speaking, the surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent.
"Impossible!" The fat chef immediately shouted angrily, completely unaware of the reason.
"Hmph, with your petty tricks, you dare to show off your skills in front of this old lady? You really have no shame!”Madam Jinling scolded.
" You..." The fat chef wanted to continue making a scene, but he was pulled back by another person, and only then did he calm down.
"Soul Suppressing Soup! Although this name was good, wasn't it just a cup of clear water?”Shan Xinzi said contemptuously.
"Senior, don't rush to a conclusion. Why don't you try it first?”Madam Jin Ling said calmly with a confident smile on her face.
"Alright, let this old man see how much you can do!”
With that, Shan Xinzi scooped a bowl and drank it in one gulp. The other three also scooped some soup and drank it. The surrounding people did not dare to make a sound. They all quietly observed the expressions of the four people, as if the air had frozen.
As soon as the soup entered his mouth, there was only a faint aura. It seemed to be the spiritual energy of the mountain forest, but it also seemed to be the breath of the four seas. It was inevitable that one would explore it step by step. The taste became stronger and stronger. In his mind, images of beasts playing in the mountain forest and fish swimming in the deep sea appeared. Then, everything turned dull. He felt a refreshing aura like a dragon rushing straight into his spiritual altar. His entire body instantly relaxed, and he felt at ease.
" Mm." Shan Xinzi opened his eyes, his face expressionless. Everyone looked at Big E and thought that this completely different expression seemed to reveal something. Could it be that the Bell House had lost? Han Xu and the chef of Dragon Roar Restaurant were also extremely nervous at this time. They did not know what the expressions on the four people's faces meant.
"The difference in strength has determined the winner. The winner is the soul-calming soup of the Bell House!”This result was announced by Shan Xinzi.
As soon as the results were out, the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief and immediately cheered again. Han Xu also jumped up in joy. Only the two fat chefs were dumbfounded. They couldn't accept this result.
"How could that be? " We clearly saw the Hell Moths sprinkle the scale powder into the soup…" A fat chef couldn't help but ask, and he actually blurted out a trick.
"Hell Moth? It seems that the moth was tampered with by you.”The Taoist priest finally understood.
"Actually, I already knew what you put in the ingredients area when you first chose the ingredients. I just didn't know what it was, so I didn't say it. After that, the Silver-feathered Bailing actually didn't choose anything, which made me feel that something was amiss. When I looked at the radish that Xiao Xu brought back, I understood it clearly.”Madam Jin Ling exposed their trick.
"Those are the eggs of hell moths. As long as they are stimulated by internal energy or heat, they will become moths. As long as they are stained with its scale powder, even if there is only one, the taste of food will disappear. However, seeing that you didn't use any ingredients with moth eggs, we could only urge the Hell Moth to break out of its body. When it flew past your soup, it would still be affected.”Seeing that his trick had been seen through, the fat chef also said everything in detail.
"But why didn't your soup change?”
"Your little tricks might be useful to others, but to the people of our Green Shadow Gorge's Stream Chef Sect, it's nothing. You can only be used by me to add to the deliciousness of my dishes.”
"Green Shadow Gorge!" Only then did the two of them come to a realization. Their eyes were filled with unwillingness, but there was nothing they could do.
"You violated the fairness of the competition. You really brought it upon yourself. Doing so many things is only asking for humiliation.”Mister Five Tastes said angrily to the two of them.
Seeing the awkward situation, the green-robed man interrupted,""Since the result has been decided, then I announce that the Bell House will continue to be the winner…"
"Wait!"
Madam Jinling interrupted him before he could finish. Not only was he surprised, the people around him were also puzzled. The four judges also began to whisper to each other, and the crowd was even discussing. Han Xu was also confused.
"Don't the four of you still have one dish to taste? Isn't it unfair to them to announce it so hastily?”
Madam Golden Bell looked at the shattered golden dragon on the ground, and everyone suddenly understood something.
"But the food is already spoiled. Do we have to redo it?”Shan Xinzi seemed a little impatient.
"Thank you for your words, Senior, but I know very well that there is a great disparity in our strength. Even if the golden dragon is not destroyed, we are still inferior!”A chef from Longyin Restaurant said gratefully.
"Are you willing to go back like this? You're willing to admit defeat without even fighting. Moreover, this time it's not your fault. How are you going to explain it to your master?”
Madam Golden Bell's question made the two of them speechless. Nun Chixia saw Madam Jinling's painstaking efforts and smiled gratefully. She said,""Since Madam Golden Bell doesn't object, we have no right to ruin the young man's obsession with food. In that case, let them do it again.”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately revealed a happy expression, but they immediately became gloomy because all the ingredients had been contaminated and could no longer be used to make delicious food.
Madam Jin Ling saw the difficulties of the two people. She just quietly walked to the two people and let them hold her magical silver mirror. She whispered,""You guys silently recite the cooking method of the dish just now.”As he spoke, Han Xu seemed to know his mother's intentions. He picked up the broken dragons on the ground and threw them into the silver mirror.
The two of them listened to Madam Jinling's instructions and held the mirror with both hands. They silently recited the entire process. Suddenly, they felt a warm current flowing out of the silver mirror. The warm current flowed into their hearts along with their palms, and they suddenly felt comfortable. Then, a burst of true energy flowed back into the mirror, and the surface of the mirror immediately flickered with stars.
"It's about to succeed!"
As soon as Madam Jinling finished speaking, a golden dragon suddenly emerged from the mirror. With a roar, it surrounded the entire square. The golden light shocked everyone. In the end, the golden dragon slowly flew back. After a while, it trembled and coiled around the red sandalwood root carving. Hot mist rose, and the golden dragon became even more lifelike.
"The golden dragon is alive!" Huang Shi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart anymore and let out a cry. The old man beside him had a calm face just now, but now, tears were flowing down his old face. He was extremely surprised.
When the two chefs of Longyin Restaurant saw that their dishes had been destroyed and revived, they immediately smiled and thanked Madam Jinling repeatedly.
"Wonderful! Sir, I've broadened my horizons today.”
Mr. Wu Wei had always been focused on food and had no knowledge of cultivation. This time, he was full of praise for Madam Jin Ling's mysterious Taoist skills. Although the other three knew that Lady Golden Bell came from the kitchen, the disciples of the Blue Shadow Gorge had always kept a low profile and only knew that they were divided into four paths: Confucianism, Divination, Fishing, and Cooking. The study of cooking skills in the kitchen was also quite profound, and there were very few people with cultivation like Lady Golden Bell. The three of them were also eye-opening and felt respect in their hearts.
"Let me try it!" Mister Five Tastes couldn't hold it in any longer. He plucked a piece of the dragon's body and put it into his mouth, slowly tasting it.
