The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 410 - 407: The Fire Spirit Erupts

The banquet was more than halfway through, and for Taoyao Pavilion, this was just the beginning of the busiest day.

Most of the guests had already had three rounds of drinks, and at this time, they were either embracing their female companions or drinking and eating with friends.

"Everyone, liven up."

In the dining area, most of the Spiritual Food had already been served.

However, the kitchen was still bustling.

Master Ji was also beginning to get busy. Earlier, he was just responsible for inspections, but now, it was around the early hours of the morning.

The most expensive dish of the night, and the only Four-star Spiritual Cuisine, was already halfway prepared.

Fire Emperor Auspicious Soup.

A Four-star Spiritual Cuisine, it required as many as fifteen different ingredients, including the Dust Extinguishing Grass and Fire Toad Ginseng that Xin Lin and Master Ji procured at noon for this dish.

Nearly ten kinds of ingredients had already been prepared.

Xin Lin, at stove number one, had also finished serving most of the Spiritual Cuisine.

This gave Xin Lin some extra time to observe Master Ji preparing this Four-star Spiritual Cuisine.

Although she was also a sort of half-baked One-star Spirit Cuisine Master, it was only because of the Dan Wood Furnace. If she were to really handle pots and spatulas, Xin Lin doubted it would take even a quarter of an hour before she turned the kitchen into a disaster scene.

She did not want to rely on the Dan Wood Furnace for her whole life, which is why she put in so much effort to sneak into Taoyao Pavilion.

She had already stolen a few glances at the cooking skills of other Spiritual Delicacy Masters while she was there and got a rough understanding.

However, Master Ji had not yet made a move.

Head chefs usually do not cook.

Only for Four-star Spiritual Cuisine would he take charge himself.

In fact, in the past month, the Spiritual Cuisine personally prepared by Master Ji did not exceed twenty dishes.

Xin Lin was fortunate – just within a few days of her arrival, she had the chance to witness and it was even a Four-star Spiritual Cuisine.

Just this one dish, it was said to have sold for an astronomical thirty thousand silver taels.

"Start the furnace."

Suddenly, Master Ji gave a low shout.

The copper furnace he held in his hand vibrated with a hum, rising up as if controlled by an invisible hand.

The furnace, originally only about the size of Master Ji’s palm and roughly twice as large as the Dan Wood, swelled significantly after being activated, becoming even larger than the large pot on the stove.

The copper pot shimmered with a copper-red lustre.

Controlling such a large stove, just the consumption of True Qi alone was substantial.

Therefore, Spiritual Cuisine Masters above three-star, mostly also had notable Martial Arts cultivation, or else after preparing one dish, they wouldn’t be able to sustain the furnace control, let alone the preparation of Spiritual Cuisine.

What level Master Ji’s Martial Arts cultivation was, Xin Lin did not yet know.

At this moment, her whole attention was fixated on the copper furnace.

While controlling the furnace, Master Ji began adding the precooked ingredients into the copper furnace.

Around the copper furnace, rings of True Qi enveloped it.

Under the influence of the True Qi, the food and spiritual materials inside the furnace slowly absorbed the heat, releasing bursts of fragrance.

Half an hour passed, and most of the Fire Emperor Auspicious procedures had been completed, filling the entire dining area with a delicious aroma.

In the copper furnace, there were bubbling and gurgling sounds of the soup boiling.

"Add the Fire Toad Ginseng."

This Four-star Spiritual Cuisine only needed one last medicinal herb, the most crucial Fire Toad Ginseng, to be completed.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xin Lin observed Master Ji adding several Fire Toad Ginsengs into the copper furnace.

But just as the Fire Toad Ginseng was added to the furnace, inside the copper furnace, there was a buzzing sound, followed by a terrifying surge of Fire Spirit, erupting like a volcanic explosion.
