The Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame was indeed not considered out of the ordinary.
That was because the energy was denser in the Immortal Cooking Realm compared to the Hidden Dragon Continent. The latter needed thousands of spiritual energy to condense and give birth to a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, but here, it was only a slightly higher grade flame.
Xuanyuan Xiahui, a chef who had passed the test of the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion and obtained the right to open a restaurant in the outer circle, possessed a flame that was even more advanced than Bu Fang’s Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame.
However, what made him more curious was the kitchen tools that Bu Fang was using.
It was widely known that when a chef cooks, kitchen tools were a must, and a good kitchen tool had a great significance to a chef.
Within the Immortal City, the aristocratic families monopolized the sales of such kitchen tools, so that alone was enough to see their importance.
Xuanyuan Xuan’s eyes gleamed. This girl, since she was young, had admired great chefs since she grew up witnessing Xuanyuan Xiahui’s hard work. Although she did not have the talent of a chef, her brother had supported their family because he possessed such talent.
Hence, Xuanyuan Xuan held admiration towards chefs. She even told her brother that her future husband had to be an Immortal Chef.
This… was a very big dream.
Xuanyuan Xiahui only smiled as he rubbed her head.
Every Immortal Chef was proud, so for someone who wanted to pick up an Immortal Chef, how could it be so simple…
Unless… they were caught when they were not an Immortal Chef yet. Picking someone up that way would fulfill Xuanyuan Xuan’s wish easily.
And at that moment… Xuanyuan Xuan really remembered this logic.
Bu Fang’s knife was very fast. It was so fast that it dazzled the eyes, causing Xuanyuan Xuan’s eyes to be bewildered.
However, in Xuanyuan Xiahui’s eyes, this speed was also a little ordinary.
After all the Blood Lobsters had been dealt with, Bu Fang prepared the seasonings.
After crushing and chopping the Purple Garlic into pieces, he chopped the Exploding Flame Pepper, sliced the Son Mother Ginger, and placed them into the hot wok to begin stir-frying, frying out the fragrance.
Bu Fang had made the Spicy Blood Lobster many times, so he had long become familiar with the process and technique. Hence, the more he cooked, the more he got into his element.
“It smells so good…”
“What? He’s only frying the seasoning.”
“Well, it’s just so-so? This old one has eaten dishes even more fragrant!”
The surrounding diners that had come to watch the scene sniffed at the fragrance in the air, and they began to nitpick in excitement.
That fragrance coming out from frying the seasoning was very mystifying, assailing one’s nostrils.
Hearing those comments and judgments, Bu Fang raised his brows, a little shocked.
As expected of the Immortal Cooking Realm. Were the tastebuds of the diners so picky?
Bu Fang sank in his thoughts. In the next instant, with a swish of the kitchen knife, the Blood Lobsters that had been dealt with were all placed into the wok.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
A wave of steam instantly rose.
Xuanyuan Xiahui shrank his eyes, staring at the Blood Lobsters in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He had yet to see this type of ingredient here in the first level of the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Hence, he was very curious in his heart.
Not only him, but the diners around them had all quietened down, watching the Blood Lobsters being poured into the wok in surprise.
As the Blood Lobsters entered the wok and being heated up like this, the fragrance spreading out instantly became denser.
Shortly after, the Blood Lobster meat became firmer…
However, Bu Fang had not finished cooking yet. As he held the ladle and the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, he began to flip and stir the contents of the wok with skill and finesse.
The Blood Lobsters within the wok were constantly sent towards the sky, once again landing into the wok. This was repeated several times.
In the air, one could smell the fragrance of the Blood Lobsters. Although the spiritual energy was not that dense, this fragrance was really so dense that it was out of their expectations.
Bu Fang took out a small crystal jar, which was the Abyssal Chilli Sauce. He scooped out a ladle and poured it into the wok.
After waiting for the Abyssal Chilli Sauce to spread out, Bu Fang then continued flipping the wok.
After a while, he opened a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and poured it in. The wine covered the Blood Lobsters with a plopping sound as a dense fragrance spread out with it.
Bu Fang, with a thought, covered the lid of the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and started to stew it.
Xuanyuan Xiahui sniffed the wine fragrance in the air, his eyes slightly widening as he exclaimed, “Great wine!”
Bu Fang slightly froze. Giving Xuanyuan Xiahui a look, he then tossed him the remaining one-third of the jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.
Looking at the wine jar that was tossed over, Xuanyuan Xiahui’s eyes instantly shone. He released his mental energy as he steadily made the wine jar float into his hands.
After tapping the lid open, he excitedly took a swig.
Gulp. Gulp.
As the dense wine flowed down his throat and entered his stomach, his palate had long been wrapped by the fragrance of the wine.
Xuanyuan Xiahui finished off the rest of the wine in one swig. Wiping his mouth, he was completely satisfied.
“Indeed, it’s not a bad wine. This jar of wine is worth three immortal crystals. Although it’s not ranked in the Immortal Cooking Realm, it’s not so bad already.”
Xuanyuan Xiahui’s words made Bu Fang a little frozen.
Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was not up there in the ranks of the Immortal Cooking Realm?
However, Bu Fang did not find it strange. The Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was something he had brewed in the Hidden Dragon Continent’s Light Wind Empire, and with the increase of his cultivation, the ingredients used for the brewing had also changed.
But, in the end, it was still not a high-grade wine.
Bu Fang couldn’t help but think about the Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew. He did not know what rank it would be in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Then what about the Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine that was even more awesome?
Pulling up the corner of his mouth, Bu Fang revealed an indiscernible smile.
In the next instant, he took the lid off the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. Rolling white fumes surged up along with the steam. Incomparably fragrant, the dense aroma spread everywhere.
Bu Fang then flipped his wok and poured the contents onto a clean bowl. Taking out a Scale Tail Scallion, he chopped it into pieces, then scattered it on top.
The Fragrant Spicy Blood Lobster was now finished.
This dish had a bright red color, as though it was about to come back to life. As the dense fragrance dispersed, it caused the diners around them to perk up.
“The fragrance this time… is much denser!”
“What a weird smell. I have never smelled something like this before, but it smells better than I thought.”
“How mysterious. The spiritual energy of the ingredient isn’t that much, but when it’s cooked, it’s actually so fragrant.”
Those diners were incomparably shocked. Not only them, but even Xuanyuan Xiahui’s heart shook.
Xuanyuan Xuan looked curiously at the steaming and bright red Blood Lobster. She did not think that this facially paralyzed person was actually able to cook out a nice delicacy.
“This dish is called Fragrant Spicy Blood Lobster, please have a taste,” Bu Fang said calmly. Then, he untied the string binding his hair, cascading thousands of hair strands down.
“This… How should it be eaten?” Xuanyuan Xiahui furrowed his brows.
“Aha! You don’t know this, right? You still need this king to teach you… Watch carefully how this king eats it.”
Nether King Er Ha’s eyes had long turned bright red. The Fragrant Spicy Blood Lobster was a dish that he waited so long for.
It was unknown when, but Nether King Er Ha had already appeared in front of Xuanyuan Xiahui, staring at the Blood Lobster in the bowl.
“First, you need a little energy to form a layer of membrane to cover your hands. Once that’s done, you can now pick up a Blood Lobster,” Nether King Er Ha said as he took a plump Blood Lobster from the bowl.
“Now, look, twist the head of the Blood Lobster like this…”
With a cracking sound, the Blood Lobster head was twisted off by Nether King Er Ha. In the next instant, he stuck his tongue out and sucked the juice flowing out from its head.
“Mmmhhh! This taste! This is the taste that this king dreamed of!”
Nether King Er Ha’s face was in a blur.
After sucking from the lobster head, he then turned his gaze to the lobster tail.
“Bu Fang kid has already opened the shell of the lobster, so all you need to do is rip off the shell on the back to get the white and tender lobster meat, then swallow it down. This Blood Lobster is the most delicious! It makes one hard to resist when eating it!” Nether King Er Ha said.
As he finished saying those words, he ripped off the shell, revealing the white and tender lobster meat, which let off a warm steam. It looked just like a beautiful jade.
Looking at Nether King Er Ha eating so intoxicatedly, some of the surrounding diners already found it hard to resist and gulped.
In the Immortal Cooking Realm, they had yet to eat this type of dish. Not only was it new and interesting, but the smell was indeed irresistible.
“Give it a try… Do you want this king to show you another example?” Nether King Er Ha said, reaching out a hand for another one.
But this time, Bu Fang smacked it away.
Nether King Er Ha laughed and pulled out a Spicy Strip. Holding it with his mouth, he sat at the side with an awkward and hesitant face.
These people simply did not know how delicious the Fragrant Spicy Blood Lobster was!
Xuanyuan Xiahui only looked at it once, then understood how to eat the Blood Lobster. Nodding his head, he then copied Nether King Er Ha’s method of eating it.
The moment he sucked the juice flowing out of the Blood Lobster’s head, the fragrant yet spicy taste made Xuanyuan Xiahui’s eyes instantly widen into circles.
“This taste!”
Xuanyuan Xiahui felt as if there was a comet quickly speeding across his mind. This was a taste that was completely different from the ones he had tried here in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
When he ate the lobster meat, both his body and mind shook, and the tenderness he felt when it entered the mouth was something he had never felt and tasted before. Simply put, this dish made him intoxicated.
This was a new dish, a dish that had never been seen before in the Immortal Cooking Realm!
Xuanyuan Xiahui could guarantee that!
Bu Fang’s dish seemed to have opened a brand new door for Xuanyuan Xiahui.
The surrounding diners had long become unable to resist, and some had secretly picked up a Blood Lobster, copying Nether King Er Ha’s way to eat.
In that instant, the fragrance filled the entire restaurant.
The diners all sucked in a breath of cold air, causing Nether King Er Ha, who was holding the Spicy Strip in his mouth, to brush the fringe on his forehead hesitantly.
These people… didn’t know how terrifying that kid Bu Fang was!
Xuanyuan Xuan also ate one, and the young girl’s fair and soft face instantly became bright red. Her lips became bright red as well, as though it was about to bleed, which made her look even more beautiful.
This sort of taste…
Xuanyuan Xuan’s gaze towards Bu Fang became even brighter!
Her brother told her that if she wanted to pick up an Immortal Chef, she had to get him while he was still a seedling, taking advantage when he had not yet matured, and snatch him into her hands!
This facially paralyzed person seemed like a pretty good choice…
Bu Fang crossed his arms. The surprised cries and gasps of the audience did not shock him that much. He had long become used to it.
“This should be enough to pay for our meal, right?” Bu Fang looked at Xuanyuan Xiahui as he casually said that.
Xuanyuan Xiahui froze, then he firmly said, “It’s enough.”
“Okay. If it’s destined, we will meet in the future. Thanks for your hospitality… Let’s go.”
Bu Fang nodded his head, then turned around with his arms crossed, walking out of the restaurant.
The Black Dragon King and the rest all looked at the Fragrant Spicy Blood Lobster with faces full of longing. However, in the end, they followed behind Bu Fang.
“They are going to leave just like this?” Xuanyuan Xuan’s lips were bright red, watching Bu Fang walk towards the entrance with a slightly panicked expression.
She took a step forward and shouted, “Wait!”
When that word left her mouth, everything quietened down.
Bu Fang froze, turning his head curiously.
Nethery stood at Bu Fang’s side, her face cold. Her gaze was like an icy arrow that shot towards Xuanyuan Xuan.
Xuanyuan Xuan, at this moment, was a little embarrassed. However, her big eyes turned, landing her gaze on Xuanyuan Xiahui’s figure.
“You guys wait. My brother still has something to say to you!”
Huu…
Xuanyuan Xiahui, whose mouth was stuffed with a Blood Lobster, instantly froze. A confused look appeared on his face.
What just happened?
