The things on the stove were very complete, with everything needed for cooking. There were already three people preparing at the stove. What surprised Yang Zhen was that one of them was a little girl who looked only in her teens.

The other two big men looked at the little girl in the middle with a sneer on their faces, their hands moving quickly, various spiritual materials flying up and down in their hands, and they handled them properly.

Yang Zhen stretched his neck to look inside with curiosity, and what he saw was Xiaoling who looked anxious. When Xiaoling saw Yang Zhen, her eyes suddenly lit up and she started looking around Yang Zhen.

Seeing Xiaoling's expression, Yang Zhen picked up Rubenwei, who had his head drooped, and made eye contact with Xiaoling.

Lu Benwei looked delighted, but he quickly shrank his neck again, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dingtian, you and I are two rough guys, how can we know any spiritual food or spiritual materials? Aren't we going to be embarrassed later?"

Yang Zhen glared at Lu Benwei unhappily and said, "You're already scared before it even starts. Are you worthy of Xiaoling's hard work for us?"

Lu Benwei secretly glanced at Xiaoling who was lowering her head in shame, and said through gritted teeth: "But, but I really don't know how to cook spiritual food."

Yang Zhen patted Lu Benwei on the shoulder and said, "Just do as I say in a while, and I guarantee you will become a glorious kitchen servant."

"What?" Lu Benwei's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Brother Dingtian knows how to cook spiritual food?"

Yang Zhen sneered and said, "More than that, I am a famous foodie in our village!"

"Food... God of Food?" Rubenwei was shocked. He looked at Yang Zhen doubtfully and was a little hesitant.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a group of people came out from the door. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had arrogant attitudes, but they were all women.

The crowd made way for them and bowed to make way. After a group of people came in, someone immediately brought stools and asked them to sit down.

After they sat down, the leading woman said loudly, "You three are the most skilled in spiritual food among the casual cultivators in the area. If you can pass the test today, you will be able to enter the spiritual palace kitchen as an exception. Remember, this is your good fortune and your only chance, so you must seize it."

Hearing what the woman said, the people around her took a deep breath and showed envious looks.

Lu Benwei looked up and suddenly exclaimed: "It's her, I didn't expect she would come too."

Yang Zhen looked back and saw Lu Benwei staring at the little girl in the middle who was preparing spiritual materials. He asked in surprise, "Do you know her?"

Lu Benwei smiled bitterly and said, "Not only does she know her, I'm afraid there is no casual cultivator nearby who doesn't know her. Brother Dingtian, if someone wants to choose someone to be an assistant later, you must not go to her place."

"Why?" Yang Zhen asked in confusion, "That little girl doesn't have much strength?"

This is a bit strange. If he doesn't go to the little girl, does he have to go to the two rough guys? Lu Benwei's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's not about strength, it's that she's too strong. The spiritual food she makes can be sold at a very high price. In the entire Lingxue Mountain Range, she is probably the casual cultivator who is least short of crystals, but..."

At this point, Lu Benwei smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that she has an eccentric personality and always likes to find new ways. The more important the spiritual meal is, the more she wants to innovate. If it weren't for this habit, she would have already become a spiritual chef at the Spiritual Academy."

Yang Zhen laughed when he heard this and looked at the little girl. This was quite interesting. No wonder those two rough guys looked at the little girl with a gloating look in their eyes.

At this time, the female disciple suddenly said, "Since there is no objection, then...are there any of you present who are willing to try the Spiritual Food Assistant?"

Hearing this, about ten people from the crowd gathered together and each of them assigned four or five people to the two rough guys. Even Rubenwei chose the rough guy on the left and waved at Yang Zhen anxiously.

Seeing this situation, the female disciple of the Spiritual Academy frowned, pointed at the little girl in the middle and asked in a deep voice: "No one is willing to be her assistant?"

Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads, fearing that they would be designated.

The female disciple of the Spiritual Academy snorted and was about to speak when the little girl looked up, chuckled, and said crisply, "I don't need it!"

The little girl bit her lip, nodded, and said, "I want to try it!"

"You..." The female disciple paused, sighed, and said, "Forget it, you really don't need an assistant?"

Just as the little girl was about to speak, a strange voice sounded in the crowd: "Well...how about I give it a try?"

Yang Zhen walked out of the crowd, walked towards the little girl and grinned at her.

"You?" The little girl looked at Yang Zhen suspiciously and asked, "You only have one chance. If I can't pass the test, you won't be able to enter the kitchen. You have to think it through."

Yang Zhen shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm just trying it out anyway!"

"..." The little girl looked at Yang Zhen for a moment, then returned her gaze to the chopping board: "Okay!"

Wow! Yang Zhen's action immediately caused an uproar among the people around him, and they all looked at Yang Zhen with great interest.

"Where did this kid come from? How dare he be Hu Tao's assistant?"

"Hu Tao, why bother? Why don't you just make a spiritual meal honestly? Why do you have to find another way? This has happened many times and it has never worked."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You know what? Hu Tao is trying to break through herself. Once she succeeds, her attainments in spiritual food will surely advance by leaps and bounds. She might even become the youngest spiritual food master in Beiyu."

"This kid can still smile now, let's see what expression he will have when he gets flustered later."

The people around were talking, but Hu Tao ignored them and looked at Yang Zhen and asked, "Are you ready?"

Yang Zhen shook his head with a strange look on his face and asked, "Why don't you tell me what to do?"

Hu Tao showed Yang Zhen a bright smile and said, "Just do whatever you want."

Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly widened: "Just do it?"

"Yeah, otherwise how can we make a breakthrough?" Hu Tao tilted his head and looked at Yang Zhen, as if he didn't understand why Yang Zhen was so surprised.

Yang Zhen snatched the kitchen knife from Hu Tao's hand, glared at her and said, "Little girl, I'm here to join the kitchen of the Spiritual Academy. Don't mess around and interrupt my work."

Hu Tao was stunned, rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist and stared at Yang Zhen, refusing to give in: "Boy, I am also here to join the kitchen of the Spiritual Academy. If you don't want to be my assistant, you can go and wait aside now."

"Ah ha?" Yang Zhen's eyes widened again, looking down at Hu Tao: "Without the recipe, what kind of spiritual meal are you making? Do you want to eat dead people?"

"Eating dead bodies?" Hu Tao jumped onto the stool, lowered her head and glared at Yang Zhen and said, "Am I the spiritual chef or are you the spiritual chef?"

"Huh?"

Yang Zhen was suddenly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Is this okay? You are right, this Sao Saint is really a spiritual chef. Today, this Sao Saint will let you see what a real God of Food is!"

There should be BGM here!
