The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 411 - 408: The Loyal Little General Worker
Gurgle, gurgle—
Once the Fire Toad Ginseng entered the copper furnace, the inside of the furnace roiled vigorously, turning the soup within as red and fiery as molten lava.
Master Ji’s aged face suddenly underwent a drastic change in expression.
He could hardly believe his eyes as he looked towards the copper furnace.
The dozen or so Fire Toad Ginsengs contained an incredibly powerful spiritual energy!
This type of medicinal herb, belonging to the middle-stage Jade class, was not new to Master Ji. However, he had never before encountered such a violent reaction when these spiritual materials were incorporated into a dish.
There was something wrong with those Fire Toad Ginsengs!
Master Ji immediately realized this.
Almost at the same time, Xin Lin was also deeply shocked.
Fire Spirit!
Such a powerful Fire Spirit!
Xin Lin’s eyes narrowed, and she quickly focused Fu Xi’s Energy in them, peering at the furnace.
"Everyone get out immediately!"
Master Ji’s face was stern.
He had realized that someone had tampered with this batch of Fire Toad Ginsengs.
Normally, spiritual materials should be inspected before use.
But since the spirit materials came from the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall and time was of essence today, Master Ji had neglected the inspection, unaware that the Fire Toad Ginsengs would be problematic.
As the copper furnace behaved erratically, upon hearing Master Ji’s words, others scrambled and ran away in fright.
The production of Spiritual Food was not absolutely safe.
There have been precedents of failure by Spiritual Cuisine Masters before.
The individuals inside managed to flee from the inner room.
Master Ji was at a loss whether to retreat or advance.
With the furnace having reached this point, it was completely out of control.
If he left as well, this Four-star Spiritual Cuisine would be ruined.
The banquet tonight hinged on the Fire Emperor Auspicious being the main dish; without it, the entire feast would be considered a flop.
Taoyao Pavilion couldn’t afford to tarnish its reputation, nor could Master Ji afford to lose face.
If he failed, he would no longer have a place in the Spirit Food World.
Just as Master Ji hesitated, a small figure darted beside him.
"Master Ji, inside, there’s a Fire Toad inside."
Master Ji was stunned, looking down to see a little child next to him.
Xin Lin, her face covered in dust, looked up with certitude and pointed at the furnace.
"Why haven’t you left yet?"
Master Ji didn’t have time to digest Xin Lin’s words, looking at her in shock.
Hadn’t he ordered everyone to leave?
Was this child not afraid of dying?
"I can’t leave you here alone," Xin Lin declared resolutely.
"You child!"
Master Ji was both angered and touched.
"Wait, you just said, what can you see? There’s a live toad inside?"
Master Ji’s eyes sharpened, his expression growing exceedingly cautious.
Xin Lin nodded; she had seen it clearly.
Just now, when Xin Lin gazed intently, she saw the silhouette of a toad under the ceaselessly bubbling soup in the copper furnace.
It was a toad the size of a fist, and the reason why the copper furnace was acting so strangely was precisely because of that Fire Toad... 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Master Liu, good news, I have just gone to the dining area to inquire, and the place is in complete chaos now," said Master Chen of the De Yue Building, his face brimming with joy.
It seems that the Fire Toad has hatched.
Old Man Ji, you wanted to compete with me, so compete you shall. This time, let’s see how you recover from this.
Jiang Qing stepped in, forcing De Yue Building to cough up this batch of Fire Toad Ginseng.
But Master Chen was no easy adversary. Upon receiving that batch of Fire Toad Ginseng, he accidentally discovered a Fire Toad Egg hiding within one of the old Ginsengs.
