Chapter 1553: Chapter 1546
"I’m originally an examiner, but my old affliction resurfaced a while ago, so I was lazy and didn’t come for a few days. Today, I’m feeling rather interested, so I decided to wander around."
Master Chen smiled warmly, glancing at the Spirit Chefs before him.
Before him were six Spirit Chefs, each with an empty bowl in front of them, except for Xin Lin, whose bowl held a large amount of soup.
"What do you think of the taste of this soup?"
Master Chen asked with a jovial expression, holding his wine gourd.
He had a ruddy wine nose, making him appear very approachable.
However, Xin Lin felt a sense of vigilance.
She discovered a deliberately concealed sharpness in the old man, the sharp light beneath the benevolent gaze, which she observed clearly.
A Spirit Chef at the seven-star level is undoubtedly an extraordinary person; aside from other matters, his other cultivation, whether as a Martial Artist or Spirit Master, must have reached the pinnacle.
The old man’s appearance was indeed accidental, or is there a greater plot behind this so-called accident?
Xin Lin felt cautious.
"The Fourth-Rank ’Buddha Jumps Wall’ was made to a near Fifth-Rank standard; the Spirit Chef who prepared it is very skillful."
Xin Lin commented quite objectively.
After drinking Wisdom Liquid, her level in preparation and evaluation of spiritual food greatly improved.
Moreover, she had previously been guided by both Master Ji and President Mu, two old Spirit Chefs, to explore knowledge in spiritual culinary arts, so despite her young age, her understanding of spiritual delicacies was more astute than most Spirit Chefs.
"Not bad, not bad, you possess excellent qualities of being a distinguished Spiritual Delicacy Master, good memory, and strong discernment."
Master Chen said, taking another sip from his wine gourd.
Xin Lin glanced at his wine gourd, her eyes revealing some interest.
Such rich Spiritual Energy.
Xin Lin instantly recognized that the wine gourd was a very potent Spiritual Treasure, containing multiple layers of Spiritual Energy.
"Master Chen, why are you praising her? She copied someone else’s ingredients."
The pockmarked faced female Spirit Chef couldn’t stand it any longer and hurriedly said.
"You can’t say that without basis; she just mentioned that she didn’t copy anyone."
Master Chen said kindly.
"The answers are identical, even the sequence is the same, is that not copying? Furthermore, she just argued that there are thirty-seven ingredients in ’Buddha Jumps Wall’."
The pockmarked faced female Spirit Chef remarked with displeasure.
"Oh? So there is an extra ingredient? Have you all discovered which ingredient is missing?"
Master Chen glanced at the Spirit Chefs.
Everyone shook their heads unanimously.
’Buddha Jumps Wall’ has a total of thirty-six ingredients, as stated in the recipe; how could there be an additional one?
"What do you say?"
Master Chen looked at Xin Lin.
"Indeed, there is one more ingredient—thirty-six is the standard recipe. However, this Spirit Chef is quite brilliant and added an additional one."
Xin Lin spread her hands.
Master Chen smiled without speaking.
"If my guess is correct, the final ingredient is Zixian Spring Water."
Xin Lin pondered for a moment and said.
"Zixian Spring Water?"
The Spirit Chefs were stunned upon hearing this, looking at each other.
Upon hearing this, the face of the pockmarked female Spirit Chef changed drastically; she stepped forward, picked up Xin Lin’s soup bowl, and sniffed it.
After sniffing, the pockmarks on her face turned red.
"Your tongue is really remarkable; indeed, that soup was made by me while craving good taste, sneaking into the association’s dining hall and simmering overnight. Who would have thought, due to Mistaken, it was brought for your examination."
Master Chen said, with a face full of regret.
