Then Tianmiao saw a figure among the contestants and paused for a moment. She turned to look at Luo Yunyi, "That friend of yours, I remember he’s a Sword Cultivator and also an Alchemist, why is he participating in a Kitchen Cultivator competition?"
Luo Yunyi glanced at the person in the crowd fervently using an Alchemy Furnace to create things, and said with a somewhat complex expression, "He said he could use the Alchemy Furnace to make candies and pastries for you... candies and pastries can barely count as something Kitchen Cultivators need to cultivate. The Daoist Child in charge of registration couldn’t refute him, so he let him participate."
"He’s quite a talent." Tianmiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Soon, the air above the competition was filled with various aromas, whetting one’s appetite.
One by one, delicious dishes were brought out, and Tianmiao tried each of them, her face once again showing a mysterious smile. Dong Xiao recorded which dishes the owner was satisfied with, which ones they were very satisfied with, and which ones they were extremely satisfied with. It seemed there wasn’t a single unsatisfied one, huh? Dong Xiao blinked, realizing this fact with surprise.
As the competition was nearing its end, a brilliant glow blossomed in the center of the competition grounds.
Tianmiao looked up, her eyes shifting.
This person actually caused a resonance with the heavens and earth.
Moreover, this person, she had met before, was the Third Elder of Chengtian Sect.
Tianmiao slightly hooked her finger, and the dish in front of the Third Elder flew right up into the air and landed steadily before her.
Tianmiao looked at the dish in front of her; it was a very simple braised pork belly.
Each piece of pork belly was cut to the same size, evenly colored, sauce red and bright, with an irresistible aroma. Tianmiao could tell that each of the spices here was unique. This must be the Third Elder’s secret recipe, all meticulously crafted by himself.
Tianmiao picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and understood in her heart that in this competition, the ultimate winner was already clear.
However, other delicacies should not be wasted.
So, the competition continues!
After eating the braised pork belly, Tianmiao smiled and nodded at the Third Elder.
The Third Elder almost wept tears of joy.
Xue Ziping had also gained a lot of insight into making candies and pastries during this time, and indeed, the candies he made were different from ordinary ones. They came in various kinds, were sweet but not cloying, and had a unique appearance. With these two things, he also achieved remarkable results.
...
Finally, all the competitions ended.
On the Magic Cultivator side, Luo Yunfei came out on top.
On the Kitchen Cultivator side, the Third Elder of Chengtian Sect won first place.
The Chengtian Sect made quite a splash this time. However, the achievements of several other sects were also impressive.
A few Loose Cultivators also performed outstandingly.
After the competition, Tianmiao allowed all cultivators to practice at the Heavenly Dao Sect for ten days, during which they could spar and exchange ideas. Common questions during cultivation were answered by a huge mirror every day in the central plaza.
Many people benefited greatly.
Yet, the biggest gainers from this competition were the Kitchen Cultivators in the Cultivation World. The special treatment they received made other cultivators almost green with envy. Then many cultivators gradually realized one thing, it seems, that the seemingly divine Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, um... also has a very down-to-earth side.
But such a Sect Leader felt even more genuine and approachable to them.
...
"Senior Sister, were you looking for me?" Luo Yunyi arrived at Tianmiao’s yard holding a big yellow chicken.
The big yellow chicken, seeing Dong Xiao standing next to Tianmiao, flapped its wings joyfully and struggled to fly in front of Dong Xiao. Dong Xiao smiled, caught him, and gently patted his little head.
