Gourmet of Another World

”Fine… Your words actually contain some truth. I canʼt refute them.”

It was only at this moment that Nangong Wuque remembered Bu Fangʼs reason to participate in it. He was participating to spread his restaurantʼs name. However, wasnʼt this way too exaggerated?

Nangong Wan squinted her eyes as she looked at him. She was actually hoping to see the scene when Bu Fang heroically descended from the stage with his board when he won.

If such a thing happened, many people would be so startled and shocked that their eyes would pop out of their sockets.

When the three of them were chatting, more people started streaming into the plaza. A giant metallic ship descended from the sky and strong gales were raised. Many experts who were wearing alchemistsʼ white robes came out from the ship.

....

Duan Yun, whose gray hair fluttered in the wind, couldnʼt help but take a deep breath when he descended from the Heavenly Pill Cityʼs warship.

He had to secure a spot in the top ten of this Magical Hand Conference.

Duan Yun had been practicing and tempering his alchemy skills in seclusion after he returned from the Southern Border. He had been stimulated by what he saw and the people he met during his trip. The dishes in a restaurant had better effects than elixirs. How could an alchemist like him accept such a cruel fact?

If an alchemist wasnʼt able to defeat a chef, how was he supposed to proclaim that he had the noblest of the Hidden Dragon Continentʼs professions?

”Duan Yun, you have to do your best in this conference. With your current skills, it wonʼt be difficult for you to reach the top fifty.”

An old man descended from the ship and patted Duan Yunʼs shoulder as he spoke to him with a smile on his face.

Duan Yun turned his head around and looked at that old man with a respectful gaze. This old man was his teacher, one of the Heavenly Pill Cityʼs respected master alchemist. He was the Four Cloud Alchemist, Gu He.

Master Gu He was one of the appraisers and judges in the Magical Hand Conference.

Duan Yun excitedly nodded at him and a firm look appeared in his eyes.

”All right. Go prepare for it along with your senior brothers and senior sisters. I hope that none of you will let me down this time. We are competing against outsiders… Donʼt disgrace our Heavenly Pill City.” Master Gu He laughed as he stroked his long beard before leaving with a dignified expression on his face.

Duan Yun followed behind his senior brothers and sisters as they went to the center of the plaza.

”The Heavenly Mist Cityʼs alchemists are at a much lower level compared to our Heavenly Pill City. We have to let the Heavenly Mist Cityʼs citizens witness a true alchemistʼs ability.”

”Among the Pill Placeʼs factions, our Heavenly Pill City is the strongest.”

”Hey, all of you, have a look at that place. There is someone who brought a board with him to participate in the conference.”

Duan Yun and his senior brothers and sisters, who all had their own pride, curiously observed their surroundings.

All of a sudden, Duan Yun heard one of his senior sisters exclaim in surprise. Turning his head, he looked toward the direction where she pointed. He instantly saw a slim figure of a man who was carrying a giant board as he walked toward the place to register.

He found the silhouette of that man somewhat familiar...

Duan Yunʼs pupils contracted. He became puzzled all of a sudden. He felt as though he had seen that silhouette before at some place.

However, after thinking about it for a long while, he couldnʼt remember where. When he was still racking his brains, his senior brothers and sisters pulled him over to the place of registration.

There were eight arenas in the middle of the spacious plaza. The preliminary competition would be held in eight arenas as there were many people participating in the conference.

When Bu Fang, who was carrying a board, reached the registration place, the alchemist who was in charge of registration looked at him as though he was some sort of retard. It was his first time witnessing a chef participating in the conference. It was also his first time seeing someone register for the conference while carrying a board.

Was this person a clown invited by someone? Was he invited to liven up the atmosphere for this event?
