Chapter 493: Ruining the Scene
Yu Feng used magic to make spirit beef jerky and spirit pork jerky, both of which have a good audience.
Ji Kongkong called on all monks to come to the wilderness of Da Zhou for training. There is no lawless place in Da Zhou, and even in the wilderness there are vendors selling boxed lunches, so monks don't need to cook for themselves. It is safe and healthy.
The leader of the Lingchu Sect is counting which group attracts the most monks.
He thought he needed to make a careful comparison. In previous competitions, there were always situations where the number of people was almost the same, and the winner could never be determined until the last moment.
This time there was no need, he noticed that Feng Li's group attracted the most monks.
Then he saw a scene that almost made him die of anger - Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were feeding the monks fasting pills.
Indeed, compared to cooking in the wild, monks prefer to eat fasting pills. One fasting pill can guarantee three days without food.
Moreover, after being improved by the Lingyao Sect, the price of the Qigong Pills has become cheap and the flavors are rich, ranging from fruit flavor to barbecue flavor to stir-fry flavor.
But the problem is that this is the Lingchu Sect, not the Alchemy Peak, nor the Lingyao Sect.
These two people are here to cause trouble.
For a long time, their Lingchu Sect has been squeezed out of the wild food market by the Lingyao Sect, and the reason is the Bigu Pill.
Don’t be fooled by the Lingyao Sect crying poor every day and saying that they can’t compare to the Liandan Peak. In fact, the Lingyao Sect is extremely wealthy. It’s just that their sights are too high and they have been competing with the Liandan Peak all the time, which is why they seem to have no status.
The Lingyao Sect is much richer than the Lingchu Sect.
A cultivator may not eat the food prepared by the Spiritual Chef, but he cannot refuse to eat the pills refined by the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
What matters in cooking is the taste, while what matters in alchemy is how much it helps in cultivation.
The leader of the Lingchu Sect originally wanted to use this competition as an opportunity to find inspiration to surpass the Lingyao Sect, but he didn't expect that after going around in circles, he ended up back to square one. The cultivators' favorite was still the Qigong Pill.
"This is a spiritual cooking competition, not an alchemy competition." The leader of the Spiritual Chu Sect wanted to say that Jiang Li and the other two had violated the rules.
"We know that this is not medicine, but food." Jiang Li said seriously. How could he break the rules?
"Look, this is the steamed Bigu Pill, this is the boiled Bigu Pill, and this is the braised Bigu Pill..."
"Just like some people use spiritual herbs as raw materials, we use elixirs as raw materials, and after processing, they can also be considered a kind of food."
The leader of the Lingchu Sect has lived for more than a thousand years and considers himself knowledgeable, but when faced with this genius who combined alchemy and spiritual cooking, he was speechless.
He lived in vain.
What Jiang Li said made so much sense that the Lingchu Sect's leader couldn't find any way to refute it for a moment.
The leader of the Lingchu Sect silently ate a steamed fasting pill.
Damn, there is no difference from the original Bigu Pill, the steamed and braised ones are just a gimmick.
Whoever made the Bigu Pill had such high level of skill that the Bigu Pill would be perfect and flawless without any mistakes, and no smell could penetrate into the pill.
Naturally, Bai Hongtu was the one who was in charge of refining the elixir, as Jiang Li was unable to mass-produce fasting pills of various flavors.
Unlike Jiang Li, a fake alchemy grandmaster, Bai Hongtu's alchemy level is not as good as Su Wei's, but he is also ranked among the top ten alchemy masters in the alchemy world.
With the Alchemy Peak around, Bai Hongtu had no need to learn alchemy. He learned alchemy for no other reason than to have more capital to laugh at Jiang Li.
Trash Jiang Li, he can’t even make an elixir. Trash Jiang Li, he can’t even make an elixir… Bai Hongtu kept repeating this sentence in his mind but never had the chance to say it out loud.
Mainly because I don’t dare.
The leader of the Lingchu Sect discussed with several elders and found that Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu's behavior completely met the definition of a Lingchu.
The leader of the Lingchu Sect had no choice but to declare Jiang Li the winner.
There were two rounds in total in the competition. Originally, the first place was to be selected based on the scores. However, because Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were too outstanding, they left the others far behind. In the end, the championship went to these two people who basically couldn't cook.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were not surprised by this result.
Yu Yin roughly understood how Jiang Li became the first place in the alchemy competition and won the title of alchemy grandmaster. Just like this competition, he must have not used any alchemy skills in the alchemy conference.
Jiang Li didn't care much about this kind of vanity, and he generously gave the trophy to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin didn't want it.
He gave it to Bai Hongtu again, but Bai Hongtu was not as strong as Jiang Li and failed to hold the trophy, so the trophy returned to his hands.
No one wanted it, so Jiang Li accepted the trophy reluctantly.
All the candidates for Human Emperor gathered in the consciousness space again, feeling depressed. This time the winner of the competition was a man named Feng Li, and all the candidates for Human Emperor were wiped out.
They are the best young generation, how could they lose so miserably? Jiang Li paced and slowly came on stage.
"Human Emperor."

"Mr. Jiang."
"Uncle Jiang."
"This competition is not a test of your cooking skills. I know few of you are good cooks."
Except for Li Nian'er, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
"This time, a genius named Feng Li won. I don't blame you, and you don't need to blame yourself. What's important is what you gain from the competition, not what place you get."
"You should have learned to think from other people's perspectives in the first round, so let's talk about what you should learn in the second round."
Everyone hesitated, and Qin Luan spoke first: "Mr. Jiang, do you want to say that we should reduce the conflicts between spirit chefs and alchemists and let them cooperate with each other?"
Jiang Li shook his head.
Luo Ying said: "Does it mean that we should think about the problem from the perspective of low-level cultivators?"
Jiang Li continued to shake his head.
Everyone talked for a long time, and finally Ji Kongkong said: "Uncle Jiang means that if you can't compete, don't compete, don't compare your shortcomings with others' strengths. In terms of wild food, the Spiritual Medicine Sect has a natural advantage, and the Spiritual Kitchen Sect can't compete. Instead of sticking to this area, it's better to put your energy elsewhere."
"Kongkong is right."
"You all have your own strengths and advantages. You should develop your strengths and advantages and overcome and make up for your shortcomings. But don't think that you can compare with others' strengths just because you have overcome your shortcomings."
"For example, Qi Sha Daozi, your strength lies in swordsmanship, and you are not good at close combat. What you need to do is to strengthen your body so that you will not be at a disadvantage so quickly when fighting with others in close combat. You need to seek the strength to protect yourself, and you don't need to spend too much energy on this aspect."
"Don't think that just because you've learned the physical training method for a while, you can fight in close combat with a physical trainer who has practiced for a lifetime."
"I will follow the teachings of the Human Emperor." Being named by Jiang Li, Qi Sha Daozi was not worried but happy.
The other candidates for Emperor began to reflect on their own strengths and weaknesses.
Jiang Li nodded slightly. Cultivation and fighting can be cultivated slowly and there is no need to rush. The most important thing now is to shape these people's values while they are still young and let them know what is right and what is wrong.
"By the way, Kongkong, how did you think of this?" Jiang Li thought that Ji Kongkong used the power of time to see himself who would reveal the answer in the future.
"Because Uncle Jiang doesn't know the way of time, and he never wastes time on it."
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Okay, it's obvious that they are from the Ji family."
