The main hall of the Taotie Palace was packed with people.
Tao Zhentian and other Earth Immortal Ancestors were sitting in the main seats, and in the center of the vast hall, there were a hundred kitchen tables arranged in sequence.
On both sides of the hall, there are rows of desks, with wooden boxes piled up like mountains on them. These are rare ingredients from all over the world, prepared for the spiritual chef who is about to re-examine.
When Chen Xi's tall figure appeared in the main hall, he was immediately stared at by more than ten unkind eyes. However, as if he had not seen him before, Shi Shiran came to a kitchen counter according to the waiter's instructions. forward.
On the kitchen table, various kitchen utensils have already been arranged, neatly arranged there, pleasing to the eye.
Chen Xi stood in front of the kitchen counter, looking at his nose and heart, no longer paying attention to his surroundings.
He knew that he had now become the most unpopular object in this hall, so it was better to be quiet to avoid causing greater displeasure.
Since the retest had not yet started, the spiritual chefs who arrived in the hall were all chatting. Unknowingly, they all turned their attention to Chen Xi, and they were more or less surprised.
The reason is simple. After the preliminary test yesterday, the list of the top 100 candidates has been announced to the public and hung in the streets of Taotie City.
Chen Xi's name was also prominently among them, which caused a sensation and uproar throughout the city.
Nowadays, almost everyone knows that Chen Xi has come to Taotie City, but no one has ever imagined that he came to Taotie City to participate in the Spiritual Chef Gold List Competition!
What’s even more shocking is that he actually advanced to the top 100 from the competition!
The sense of astonishment and absurdity is like watching a peerless swordsman suddenly stop practicing swordsmanship and start killing chickens and cows instead...
Everyone was in disbelief, but it happened like this, and it became an interesting story in the entire Taotie City. It was unbelievable, and people couldn't help but marvel.
For those spiritual chefs, Chen Xi's participation made them feel that this competition was a bit of a joke, and they even suspected that the reason why Chen Xi was promoted was because people from the Taotie clan were operating behind the scenes.
It is true that Chen Xi's qualifications are amazing, and his fighting ability can be described as outstanding among his peers, but... does he know what cooking is
These spiritual chefs in the main hall are all well-known figures from all over the world. They have great reputations and extraordinary culinary attainments. Many of them are even called "masters" and are sought after by countless people. They are also interested in Chen Xi being able to appear here. A wave of skepticism.
Some people even disdained being associated with Chen Xi.
Normally, they might be happy to marry this peerless genius, but since they are all participating in the competition as a spiritual chef, he is a different story.
After all, this game also means competition. Although there are no swords and swords, the brutality is no less brutal. Everyone wants to be among the top three, who wants to be taken away by others
Especially... Chen Xi might have joined in through the "back door"!
"Alas, I originally thought that this would be a grand event in the world of spiritual chefs, but who would have thought that a piece of mouse droppings ruined the pot of porridge." Someone sighed, making insinuations.
"Well, you can't say that. Maybe there is another hidden secret. I'm afraid that the appearance of a certain person will make it difficult for the Taotie clan's fellow Taoists. Everyone understands." Someone acted as a good guy, but the words Beyond the words, there was a strange smell of yin and yang.
"It's hard to do it? If it's hard to do it, you have to deliberately break the rules of the game? It's so shady!" Some people have a hot temper, and they say whatever they want, and they go straight.
These comments made the elders who were sitting upright have their eyelids twitching and their cheeks twitching. They had nowhere to vent their anger, so they could only look at the culprit, Chen Xi, with cold eyes. Like a murderer.
If it weren't for this bastard, how could there have been such a big controversy
But they couldn't explain it, and even described it more and more darkly. There was no way, Chen Xi's existence was really an anomaly, and only they knew what Chen Xi's cooking skills were.
Chen Xi remained calm and calm, as if the old monk had entered meditation and was indifferent to everything.
It's a pity that he didn't want to argue with him, but in the eyes of others, he became inconsolable and behaved more and more unscrupulously, with every word he said being sarcastic and full of sarcasm.
In the end, even the clan leader Tao Zhentian couldn't stand it any longer and stopped him. He had no choice. If the trouble continued like this, this re-examination would definitely become a laughing stock in the cultivation world.
"Okay, the retest begins now!" Tao Zhentian announced loudly. He glanced at Chen Xi intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing the latter's calm and calm look, he sighed in his heart.
He even hoped that this guy could show off his skills well and not be too embarrassed, causing his reputation as a gluttonous clan to suffer undue stains.
The questions asked in the competition were written on pieces of paper and sealed in a jet black jade box.
This jade box is made of a special material that can block the detection of spiritual consciousness. It is priceless, no less valuable than a semi-immortal artifact.
After participating in the re-examination, the spiritual chefs draw the slip of paper in the jade box and need to cook a dish based on the questions given on the slip of paper. The best one wins.
Soon, the competition started. An old man stepped forward, took out a piece of paper, looked at it for a moment, picked out the required ingredients one by one, and started to work.
Most of the spiritual chefs opened their eyes wide and stared at the old man, wanting to see what his level was so that they could form a judgment and prepare for their next actions.
Only Chen Xi and a few spiritual chefs were still sitting quietly, like clay statues, with a calm temperament that was not shaken by external objects.
Time passes bit by bit.
One after another, the spiritual chefs took out the paper and started working according to the topics on it. Some were happy, some were frowning, and their expressions were different.
This retest has a time limit. Every spiritual chef must complete the cooking within a quarter of an hour, otherwise he will be eliminated directly.
In just two hours, seven or eight spiritual chefs left the show sadly because they failed to complete the cooking. One of them was even a long-famous spiritual chef!
This made the atmosphere in the hall become tense and dull.
The alluring fragrance lingered in the air in the hall, but no one paid attention, let alone spoke.
It was long enough to wait until the retest was about to end before Chen Xi, as the last one, stepped forward and started to take out the paper. In fact, there was no need to take out the paper at all, because now there was only the last piece of paper left in the jade box.
Chen Xi opened the paper, looked at it briefly, and couldn't help but be startled.
The other spiritual chefs had long been looking forward to Chen Xi's appearance, as if they were waiting for a good show. At this time, they all looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and saw only four words written on it - "Heart-minded". !
