Chapter 1090 This position of leader belongs to me!
Lu Yang observed the two spiritual chefs and felt that they were some street vendors.
Could it be that the action I just made unintentionally happened to be their secret signal for contact? Then I'll go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang put on a warm smile on his face: "Something delayed me on the way, but fortunately I still caught up."
"Sister Mengmeng, I have something to do here, so I won't accompany you. Let's meet at the hotel in the evening."
"Okay." Yun Mengmeng felt puzzled by this change, but since the second in command said so, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Please come in, fellow Taoist." One of the spiritual chefs made a gesture of invitation, asking Lu Yang to follow him, while the other spiritual chef stayed at the stall.
Lu Yang used his spiritual sense to scan and found that these two spirit chefs were both in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and had two goat horns on their heads.
Is it from the sheep tribe?
"They are from the Taotie tribe." The Immortal Fairy said. Lu Yang was not familiar with the Taotie tribe and could not tell the backgrounds of these two spirit chefs, but she was very familiar with the Taotie tribe.
"The Taotie tribe? They saw that I used Heaven Devouring and Earth Devouring just now, so they mistook me for one of their people?"
Lu Yang quickly figured out the key points.
If eating dirt is a secret code for contact, then the only way to eat it is to use the Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Swallowing Art. On the other hand, if Yun Mengmeng eats it directly like that, she will be judged as an irrelevant person.
Lu Yang followed one of the spiritual chefs out of the market, opened the secret door, and came to a crowded basement.
After Lu Yang entered the basement, the spiritual chef returned to the stall and continued to fry the earth.
In the basement, there are people with goat horns, people with other demon features, and some without any demon features.
Noticing that the basement door was open, the people in the back row all looked at Lu Yang, but when they realized they didn't recognize him, they turned their heads back.
"There are more than just the Taotie tribe here?" Lu Yang was puzzled. If there were more than just the Taotie tribe, then how did the other monster tribes and humans get through the stage of eating dirt?
"Maybe these people have taken the blood of the Taotie. Taking the blood of the Taotie can also practice swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, but the effect is definitely not as good as the Taotie."
"After taking the blood of the Taotie, the Taotie will suppress them. This is a common method used by the Taotie to form cliques and factions."
"I see."
"The time has come, everyone should be here." said the middle-aged monk with sheep horns standing at the front.
"Is that man Jin Tan, the patriarch of the Taotie tribe?" Lu Yang vaguely remembered meeting him once at the founding ceremony of the Demon Kingdom. He was a Demon King in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and his strength was ranked among the top ten in the Demon Realm. He was an important official of the Demon Kingdom.
As soon as Jin Tan spoke, everyone suddenly quieted down.
Jin Tan looked at everyone and said slowly: "You should all know more or less the purpose of my call."
Everyone looked at Jin Tan who was standing on a high place, his eyes were burning and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was ready to go through fire and water and show up for his ideals in the next moment.
Lu Yang had no choice but to pretend like this, and his acting was very realistic.
Jin Tan was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. If he wanted to achieve great things, he could not do without the help of these people.
"Now the leader is incompetent and arbitrary. He has ignored the advice of others and actually held this Spirit Chef Competition in the Monster City. This is simply outrageous!"
"But look at the organization now. The internal management is chaotic, the leader is inactive and unwilling to manage, allowing internal strife to consume strength!"
"It's not easy for the organization to reach its current size, but if the leader continues to manage it like this, it will surely decline!"
Jin Tan glanced at everyone. He looked at people very skillfully and slowly, as if he was looking directly into everyone's eyes, giving people a feeling of respect.
"You come from the Demon Realm, Daxia, the East China Sea, the Far North, and all over the world. You all have your own magical powers. My Taotie clan has devoted all its strength and spent hundreds of years to train you just for this moment!"
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. Are they going to rebel? Rebellion against Zhu Tian? Could it be that they have a half-immortal backing them up? This is really interesting.
Jin Tan showed an indignant expression and shouted loudly: "Everyone, what should we do!"
Jin Tan's words were like a fire, completely igniting the atmosphere, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "Rebel against him, rebel against him!"
"That's right, Taoist Mingyuan should have abdicated long ago. This position of leader should be mine!"
Lu Yang was stunned. Taoist Mingyuan? Isn't that the leader of the Lingchu League? Lu Yang then remembered Jin Tan's other identity, the deputy leader of the Lingchu League.
No, so you made such a big fuss just to become the leader? "If you want to defeat Master Mingyuan, you have to make him admit defeat in terms of cooking skills!"
"I have researched a delicacy that is sure to surpass that of Taoist Ming Yuan."
"It's extremely difficult to gather all the ingredients, and there are four ingredients stored in the Spiritual Chef Alliance's food warehouse, but those four are too precious. To obtain them, we need the unanimous consent of the three deputy leaders and the leader."
"But there is one exception, and that is winning the Spiritual Chef Competition!"
"The Spiritual Chef Competition is divided into five groups, namely the Foundation Establishment Group, Golden Core Group, Nascent Soul Group, Spiritual Transformation Group and Fusion Group. The champion of each group can choose an ingredient from the food library!"
"What you have to do is to win the game by any means necessary! Remember, by any means necessary!"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison, shaking the basement.
After boosting morale, Jin Tan's tone was no longer so passionate.
"There is one more thing. Some of you have been practicing your cooking skills, but you have never been qualified as a spiritual chef."
"And if you take the Spirit Chef Qualification Exam, your abilities might be revealed."
"So I can use my power to allow you to become spirit chefs without having to pass the exam and directly participate in the spirit chef competition."
"Now, those who have not obtained the qualification of spiritual chef will stay."
"Spiritual Chef Competition? I haven't tried it yet, why not take this opportunity to experience it once?" Lu Yang felt that since he was here to report on the Spiritual Chef Competition, he would naturally try to experience the whole process as much as possible.
Most of the people left one after another, and a small number of people, including Lu Yang, lined up to register their names.
"What's your name?" Jin Tan asked when it was Lu Yang's turn.
"Lu Yunyang."
"Okay, next one."
The mask Lu Yang was wearing was of extremely high quality, and even he couldn't tell that he was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
…
After parting with Lu Yang, Yun Mengmeng continued shopping and eating while humming a little tune.
However, without Lu Yang's company, many cultivators came up to Yun Mengmeng to chat with her because they saw that she was beautiful and cute, which made Yun Mengmeng very annoyed.
"It's so annoying. I can't even eat in peace. Let's go eat somewhere else."
Yun Mengmeng muttered a few words, left the market, and wandered around in the alleys.
"This shop looks okay." Yun Mengmeng found a small restaurant with a new sign deep in the alley, but it didn't seem to have much business.
She lifted the door curtain and walked into the shop. The shop was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that the owner was a very clean person.
"Anyone there?"
The woman in a sky-blue dress walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands and apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, sir, we've run out of ingredients, and the boss has gone out to buy groceries."
