Chapter 1094 Inquiring for Information

Behind the scenes of the spiritual chef competition, deputy leader Liu Xing was anxiously waiting for the leader to arrive.

"The game is about to start, why hasn't the leader come yet?"

Since arriving in the Demon City, the leader has disappeared, and he is basically the one who organizes the spirit chef exams and competitions.

"Liu Xing, why are you in such a hurry? I'm here right now." An old and hearty laugh sounded in Liu Xing's ears. A cool breeze blew past, and he turned into an old man with a white beard. He was the leader of the Lingchu Alliance, Taoist Mingyuan.

Taoist Mingyuan was born on a small island in the East China Sea. He didn't have any background worth mentioning, except that he had a few adventures. After cultivating to the fusion stage in the East China Sea, he did not occupy a big island and become the island owner like other human cultivators. Instead, he chose to travel around and exchange cooking skills with famous chefs from major restaurants. He seldom returned to the East China Sea.

It was this behavior that made him not only a good cook but also very popular, and he easily became the leader of the Spiritual Chef Alliance.

"Leader, you are finally here. Where have you been these days?" When Liu Xing saw Taoist Mingyuan, he felt like he had seen his backbone, and a huge stone fell from his heart.

"I'm doing some work outside the city. It's a bit troublesome, but it's almost done. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Liu Xing sighed: "It's nothing for me to worry about, but I heard that Jin Tan is going to start a battle to seize the position of leader of the alliance and take your position as leader!"

Taoist Mingyuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "The last time Jin Tan lost to me was three hundred years ago, it seems that his cooking skills have improved a lot in the past three hundred years?"

"I don't know whether his cooking skills have improved, but I know that he has developed a superb dish. It's just that it is extremely difficult to make and requires the use of legendary ingredients in our alliance's food library. That's why he has not challenged you yet."

"This is the first time I've heard of this. So he sent people to this competition as well, hoping to get those ingredients as a reward for winning?"

"Yes, it is said that he has been preparing for this day for three hundred years."

Taoist Mingyuan became more and more confused as he listened: "Why didn't he just exchange it directly? We didn't know before that the top-grade dishes he developed required legendary ingredients. If he exchanged it, we wouldn't stop him, right?"

"Maybe he thinks we know?"

The two looked at each other.

"By the way, Alliance Leader, you know Lu Yang, right?"

"I know. Didn't I invite him here?" Taoist Mingyuan looked at Liu Xing as if he were a fool. He felt that if he were not the leader of the Lingchu Alliance, it would be hopeless.

"Oh yes, it was you who invited him. You will never guess who he met after I sent him to the hotel!" Lu Yang had been holding it in for several days when he met the Demon Emperor. After meeting the Alliance Leader, Liu Xing really couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Who did you see?"

When Liu Xing's words were on the tip of his tongue, Zhu Tian's order "Don't tell anyone about the meeting" which he had given in the prototype of the law of the jungle took effect, no matter whether he said it explicitly or hinted at it.

"I can't say who I met, but I saw a lot of beautiful dancers at his door. They must be gifts for him!"

"You mean, Lu Yang is a lustful person, and we need to bribe him with women?"

Liu Xing originally wanted to say, "Guess who gave it to Lu Yang," but this became a hint.

Under the influence of the prototype of the law of the jungle, Liu Xing could not speak and could only nod vigorously.

Seeing Liu Xing nod, Taoist Mingyuan hissed. Could it be that when Lu Yang went to the Laurel Fairy Palace, the news that many fairies were pregnant was not just a rumor, but true?

…

"Look, that's Master Golden Knife. He's here as expected!" Master Golden Knife removes bones from the bull monster in the market every day. He throws the bulls into the sky and plays with the knife. He makes the most noise. After a few days of fermentation, his reputation is the loudest in the market.

Master Golden Knife was shirtless with two golden knives hanging in front of his chest. The blades were filled with an extremely evil aura, as if no one knew how much blood of monsters had stained them. Among the five-star chefs who were good at handling food ingredients, this evil aura was particularly conspicuous, and many of them consciously stayed away from him.

"And the one wearing a hood is the Poison Granny. Rumor has it that she is a master of both elixir and poison, and that her medicinal food can cure all diseases. But if she wants to poison someone, she can just say a word!"

"Look, there are two monks behind her. Judging from their attire, they are from the Daxia government. It looks like she is leading them. Could it be that she has defected to the imperial court now?"

"She is still wearing handcuffs and anklets. Is this because she is training with weights? She will take them off when the official competition starts, and her strength will increase dramatically?"

Lu Yang was listening on the side and couldn't help but complain: "No, it looks like she was caught by Da Xia and is participating in the competition while serving her sentence, right?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember that I seemed to have heard that she was suspected of poisoning and was arrested by Daxia." The passerby realized something was wrong halfway through his speech.

"Wait, who are you?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The conversation just now seemed very familiar, as if the two of them were friends. He didn't realize for a moment that he didn't know this person.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yunyang."

"Oh hello, hello, my name is Ma Bin... still not right, who are you?"

"I'm here to participate in the competition, but I'm not familiar with these people, so I wanted to get to know some people from you." Lu Yang pointed to the five-star armband that could serve as a testimony for himself, and was thinking about how to write the article when he returned. He happened to meet a passerby who seemed to know everything.

Ma Bin rolled up his sleeves, revealing the five-star armband, and said with disdain.

"As a competitor, do you think I would reveal information to you?"

Lu Yang thought about it and felt that it would be a bit inappropriate to directly ask for information without giving any benefits, so he prepared to take out something to give some benefits.

Ma Bin caught a glimpse of Lu Yang's little move and sneered, "Don't think you can bribe me with spirit stones. This is a sacred spirit chef competition. Don't taint this competition with your few broken spirit stones!"

Lu Yang didn't even plan to take the spirit stone. He took out his identity jade token that could prove his identity: "Actually, I'm Lu Yang from the Daoist Sect. I'm here to write a newspaper. If you can help me introduce the participants to the competition, I'll praise you in the newspaper."

Ma Bin looked at Lu Yang indifferently, straightened his collar, and introduced himself solemnly: "My name is Ma Bin, the chef of the Imperial Kitchen of Daxia. I am good at steaming and boiling noodles, as well as using various seasonings for complex seasoning. I was born in the Ma family, a noodle chef. I have been passionate about cooking since I was a child and I read a lot of books. My cooking skills were inspired by the traditional recipes of my family."

"As time went by, I not only inherited my family's pastry-making skills, but also kept learning new cooking techniques and trends to refine my cooking skills. After joining the Imperial Kitchen, I practiced my knife skills and eventually became so skilled that I was known as the 'Knife of the Imperial Kitchen'."

"I took this leave to participate in the Spiritual Chef Competition in order to become a Venus Spiritual Chef and make the Ma family of pastry famous in the spiritual chef world. You can just praise them a little, and it would be best if you could mention our Ma family of pastry."

Lu Yang silently wrote down a sentence: Ma Bin, from the Ma family of pastry.
