Lianxing asked timidly.
Inviting the Moon sneered, "You're going? Are you sure?"
Lianxing felt a bit cold. She knew she couldn't beat Yaoyue, and sighed inwardly.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You can just come to witness Yue Nu's wedding. I'm leaving."
Without hesitation, Yaoyue used her light-footed skill to drift away.
Lianxing looked at the beautiful figure under the moonlight, feeling an indescribable envy.
He immediately returned to his room to cultivate.
She is currently a half-step Grandmaster, and once her skill reaches that level, she will become a Grandmaster. At that time, she won't have to feel so humiliated in front of Yaoyue.
Wu Xingyun looked at Lin Zhu and Zhang Sanniang, who were looking down.
"You two are quite bold, doing things you're told not to do. Tell me, how do you feel now?"
She looked at Zhang San Niang and asked.
Chapter 127 Huang Rong's Empty Promises
"It's...it feels like kissing!" Zhang San Niang said weakly.
"Who asked you that?" Wu Xingyun said angrily, "I asked you what it feels like to be blocked!"
"Ah, you're asking about that!" Zhang San Niang said somewhat awkwardly. "I just can't feel His presence anymore, and I can't use the storage space, but otherwise, everything is the same as normal."
"That's it?" Wu Xingyun felt the punishment was too lenient. "Nothing else?"
"No, that's all." Zhang Sanniang shook her head.
Wu Xingyun looked at Lin Zhu, "And you?"
"I'm fine!" Lin Zhu shook her head and said, "I can feel everything normally, and all functions are working properly."
"So, it's San Niang who benefited." Wu Xingyun nodded thoughtfully. Looking at Lin Zhu's face, what else could it be but Zhang San Niang who benefited?
She looked at his lips again. The feeling of kissing—she had lived for over ninety years and still didn't know what it felt like. She should have asked Zhang San Niang to explain it more clearly; why was she in such a hurry?
"Fine, I'll let you off this time. After the Food God Competition, all of you except Lin Zhu will come back to Lingjiu Palace with me."
As Wu Xingyun spoke, he led the way, heading towards Zhuque Street in the outer city.
Lin Zhu and his group followed behind in a large procession, with Liu Ruoxin and Shangguan Haitang also present, but Li Ji was not there.
The competition booth was near the Vermilion Bird Gate. When Lin Zhu and his group arrived, four figures descended from the sky and sat on the judges' panel.
Wu Xingyun left an afterimage in the same spot and sat on the far right, next to Zhang Sanfeng.
Crown Prince Ji Zhao, acting as the host, announced loudly after all the contestants had entered the venue: "Let me give you a grand introduction to the five judges on the judging panel. My father, His Majesty the Emperor of our Great Zhou."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
All the athletes and people in the stands bowed deeply.
"No need for formalities." Emperor Zhou rose, gestured for him to sit down, and then took his seat in the middle.
Ji Zhao continued, "My great-grandfather was the former Emperor Jing."
The common people were surprised that the emperor was still alive and bowed in greeting.
"This is Master Zhang from Wudang Mountain, the Immortal Master Zhang!"
"Greetings, Immortal Zhang!" Lin Zhu and the others, standing in front, bowed and greeted him respectfully.
But the common people behind them were different. When they heard that he was a deity, they immediately knelt down and called him a deity.
Zhang Sanfeng felt he couldn't accept such a courtesy, so he unleashed his inner energy and prevented the common people from kneeling down.
The sheer size of the area covered by that immense true energy was simply terrifying.
Emperor Jing, Ji Qi, looked solemn, realizing that he might not be a match for Zhang Sanfeng if he were to face him.
Even if he cultivates a peerless martial art like the Hun Tian Bao Jian.
Wu Xingyun, however, had a different feeling; the difference between the two realms of terrestrial immortals was quite significant.
Ji Zhao, unaware of the thoughts of the people above, continued the introduction: "This is the Northern Yuan National Preceptor, the Living Buddha Phagpa."
Out of respect for the strong, everyone still bowed to him.
"Next to Master Zhang is the terrestrial immortal realm of the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace, the senior Tianshan Child Granny."
"This person is also a deity! A fairy descended to earth!" the common people muttered, and then they were about to kneel down again.
Wu Xingyun had no choice but to muster his strength, covering the crowd with his energy to help them up, but he was not as calm and collected as Zhang Sanfeng.
Emperor Zhou Jing and Phagpa felt that this was normal, after all, Wu Xingyun had only just entered the realm of terrestrial immortals.
However, this was the result of Wu Xingyun's extreme control. Even though most of her more than two thousand years of internal energy was used to modify her body, she still had nearly a thousand years left. In terms of the depth and purity of her internal energy, she was actually no less than Zhang Sanfeng.
After all, the cultivation level was given by the chat group, which is no different from the cultivation level obtained through hard work.
Zhang Sanfeng, being closest, could sense it most clearly and thought to himself, 'How did this fellow Daoist Wu cultivate? His true energy is so profound and pure! Impressive!'
Below the stage, Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and Jing Ke, unaware of the situation, were surprised. They hadn't expected that this person was actually Tianshan Tonglao, the newly promoted terrestrial immortal. They all looked at Lin Zhu and the others with envy.
With such a powerful backer, navigating the world will be much less troublesome.
Soon, the cooking competition began, with each team serving four dishes, and the competition narrowed down from sixteen to eight.
Originally, Hong Qigong was supposed to come, but he was informed that there was no place for him, and now he is pounding his chest and stamping his feet, his index finger twitching incessantly.
The aroma wafting from the stands made my mouth water.
The Third Pig King looked at Zhang Fei and asked loudly, "Zhang Laosan, what dishes are you preparing this time?"
"Watch closely my homemade Lantern Shadow Beef!" Zhang Fei wielded his cleaver with lightning speed, slicing off thin slices of beef, which were then grilled over a flame and coated with various seasonings.
After that, it is cut into squares about the size of a baby's fist, and the Lantern Shadow Beef is finished. Each slice of beef emits a light red glow.
"Third Pig, what have you done now?"
"Braised pig's trotters, pig's head meat, stir-fried pig's liver, and braised pig's intestines, how about it, smells good, right?" The Third Pig King said, turning on four stoves at once, his movements were very fast, and the aroma slowly spread.
Zhang Sanfeng watched from the stands as the various chefs cooked, also thinking about learning a few tricks so that he could cook them himself when he was in Wudang Mountain.
With his mother and sister as assistants, Liu Maoxing quickly devised a method using a giant sea bream, preparing it in four different ways.
Butcher Ding has a new assistant today; it's no longer Huang Rong, but Brother Gou.
The four dishes he prepared today were Lotus Emerging from Water, Blessings as Vast as the Eastern Sea, Tai Chi Tofu, and Four Joys Arriving at the Door.
It's basically just chicken slices with egg white, stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, tofu soup, and four-happiness meatballs.
The other renowned chefs also each have their own unique style.
They finished at almost the same time.
For a time, strange phenomena appeared one after another, accompanied by a rich aroma that was irresistible and whetted the appetite.
In front of Zhang Fei, a red bull roared to the sky.
Beside the Third Pig King, a fat pig was fast asleep.
Above Liu Maoxing, a golden dragon soared.
Among the crowd, the most unusual phenomenon was in front of Butcher Ding: a white lotus flower emerged from the water above the sliced chicken with hibiscus, looking delicious.
Amidst the beams of light emanating from the stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, the ocean waves surged.
Above the Tai Chi tofu soup, a Tai Chi diagram slowly rotates.
The Four Happiness Meatballs even display the auspicious image of passing the imperial examination.
Seeing Lin Zhu swallowing his saliva, Huang Rong said, "Little brother, don't worry. When Rong'er reaches the Grandmaster level, I'll make you lots of delicious food."
She knows how to make empty promises.
Zhang San Niang wondered if she should also learn cooking skills.
But it's just a thought; if I try to learn now, I won't be able to catch up with Huang Rong.
"Then I'll wait." Lin Zhu said to Huang Rong with a smile.
Ji Zhao looked at the sixty-four delicious dishes in front of him and couldn't help but drool. These spiritual dishes were not only delicious, but also had different effects.
Some are for nourishing yin and promoting health, some for enhancing self-cultivation, and some for strengthening yang and tonifying the kidneys; all are remarkably effective.
But it would be a waste to feed these land deities, and he dared not say so.
He swallowed hard before saying, "Serve the meal!"
Sixty-four exquisite dishes were served on a circular table, and the five judges, including the emperor, began to taste them one by one.
Then Zhang Fei and Pig King were eliminated immediately.
These two dishes use the same ingredients and taste very similar. They look like four dishes, but they are actually just one dish and they fail.
Although it tastes good, it's definitely not as good as other people's.
Chapter 128 The Finals Begin
Although Liu Maoxing's "Sea Bream Continental Map" uses only one ingredient, it creates four different flavors, and all five judges gave it high praise.
Then came the four dishes prepared by the butcher, each one unique and delicious, which were naturally also approved.
The eight finalists were Paoding, Liu Maoxing, Zhou Jidi, Lan Hongfei, Liu Yiyi, Shi Difeng, Cao Shaoqin, and Li Yan.
Li Yan and Zhou Jidi were from the same school. Because he was ambushed and injured in his early years, he has always worn a mask.
After announcing the top eight teams, Ji Zhao added, "The finals will begin in three days. Each team will prepare eight dishes, half meat and half vegetables, and a bowl of soup."
Because eight dishes need to be prepared, the chefs were given three days to prepare them.
In the final, the top player from the top eight will be selected directly, and there can only be one winner.
Liu Maoxing looked at Chen Bangling and said, "Mom, what should we do? It seems we don't have enough materials."
"It's alright, Mom has a way." Chen Bangling stroked Liu Maoxing's hair and walked straight towards Lin Zhu.
"Greetings, Young Master Chu." She bowed to Chu Liuxiang.
