The Xuanshi event is about to start, and thousands of contestants come forward with their belongings to be inspected one by one.
Most of the food utensils used by Miao Ling were of the highest quality in the spiritual realm, and were not much inferior to those of other contestants.
Since the Tianwang Disaster 30,000 years ago, the top inheritance of Xuanshi and Xuanzhen in Xuanling Continent has been cut off.
In other aspects such as Xuanfu, Xuandan, Xuanbing, etc., Tianfu Sect, Yaoshen Sect and Juebing Sect have gained authority. They have developed steadily over the past 30,000 years and there are some signs of recovery.
However, in terms of Xuan Zhen and Xuan Shi, there has yet to be a leader who can overwhelm the others with his skills and intimidate all the sects.
Comparing the two, Xuan Zhen is better. After all, the sect's blessed land, caves, defense methods, etc. are all used. Therefore, the cultivators who study this aspect and the matching resource chain are relatively complete.
But Xuanshi is different.
Among the five major mystical products, the mystical food of the same grade is often the weakest in efficacy and the cheapest. Moreover, it is not a must-have for every sect.
As a result, fewer and fewer practitioners are willing to invest a lot of energy and resources in this area.
Correspondingly, for the resource chains supported by Xuanshi, such as pots, bowls, ladles, basins, shovels, knives, scissors, etc., few people are willing to polish and forge high-grade ones.
For a Xuanbing master in the cultivation world, instead of wasting time and effort to forge a low-grade Xuanshi pot, it is far less profitable than forging a medicine cauldron or a talisman pen.
Market demand determines value, and this principle also applies to Xuanling Continent.
Therefore, most of the utensils used by the chefs from various sects who came to participate in the competition were of the spiritual level.
In other words, the mysterious chefs in the three sects, seven sects and one Jedi can occasionally bring out one or two low-grade cooking utensils to dazzle the spectators.
"I wonder if any of the mysterious food contestants can cook high-grade spiritual food this time?"
"Yes, in the last Tianshu Ranking Mysterious Food Competition, the little master Hong Yang from the Buddhist temple cooked a top-grade Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, plus more than a dozen medium-grade vegetarian foods, and finally won the Mysterious Food Competition.
The crown in the eating competition.”
"Nowadays, the disciples of the Fuluo Menhong generation are generally over eighteen levels in age."
"The newcomers from the Yuanzi generation who came to compete this time have only a limited foundation. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to cook high-grade mysterious food at the spiritual level."
"Hehehehe, I'm really looking forward to that contestant named Miao Ling, the beautiful cook! If nothing else, just looking at it is eye-catching~"
…
Nowadays, Chen Shen's soul perception is getting stronger and stronger, and he can easily hear everyone's discussion. He is secretly happy: "Ha, it turns out that the difficulty of winning the Xuanshi competition on the Tianshu Ranking is so low?"
But when I think about it, this phenomenon is also reasonable.
After the great catastrophe in the Xuanling World, under the general environment of the loss of inheritance and the fall of many powerful people, there are fewer and fewer cultivators who have joined Xuanshi and achieved success.
The three positions of Xuan Dan, Xuan Fu and Xuan Bing were gradually improved after the catastrophe because of the strong sects such as Shen Yao Sect, Tian Fu Sect and Jue Bing Sect.
As for Xuanshi...
Nowadays, it is extremely rare for cultivators who have not reached the eighteenth wheel level to have a spiritual level of six stars or above.
If you look at the entire cultivation world, you can probably count them with both hands who can reach the upper level of the spiritual level with Xuanshi techniques.
"Hehe, with Ling'er's one-star peak Xuanshi realm, winning the first place in this competition is almost a sure thing..."
When Chen Shen was filled with joy, Xian Shengyang suddenly said: "Master Kong Yuan, I'm really sorry, one of our Yaoshen Sect's contestants needs to make adjustments."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Zuo also stood up and hugged Master Kong Yuan's fists: "I'm sorry, our Tianfu Sect also needs to change its player."
"Since the competition is still in the registration stage, what I do should not be considered a violation, right?"
Kong Yuan still had that smiling and friendly face, and nodded his head: "Of course, no problem."
After a while, Ma Yitian, one of the three originally scheduled racers from the Yaoshen Sect, and Huang Qingyu from the Tianfu Sect were replaced one after another.
"Huh? Tianfu Sect and Yaoshen Sect actually requested substitutions at the same time? This kind of situation has never happened in previous competitions."
"I recognize the player who was replaced by Tianfu Sect: Wang Yiyun!"
"Wang Yiyun? The newly promoted one-star Xuanfu master of Tianfu Sect's young sect?"
"Yes, it's him. And it's rumored that he has a special physique and an amazing soul."
"But the problem is... the Xuanshi competition is being held now! Why is Wang Yiyun going up there? I have never heard that he has the ability to cook Xuanshi."
"Peng Qiushan is replaced by the Medicine God Sect? This guy is in a similar situation to the one from the Tianfu Sect. He is clearly a Xuan Alchemist. How can he cook Xuan Food?"
Most people were surprised, but a few people had already seen some clues: "Before Chen Shen's Qingyun Sect signed up, neither Xian Shengyang nor Zuo Changshi asked for a replacement."
"The Qingyun Sect signed up for the competition, and the Tianfu Sect and Yaoshen Sect entered the competition with two talented contestants, but neither of them know how to cook mysterious food."
"This is a bit intriguing..."
As a result, many people's eyes were focused on Chen Shen again, wanting to see if he had any reaction.
Who would have thought that it would be better if they didn't look at it, but when they looked at it, their eyes almost popped out——
When the young man in white clothes was asked to inspect the cooking utensils, he casually took out an ordinary black iron pot. There was a bamboo spatula with a small hole missing and a kitchen knife with a broken blade. It was so big.
He put it on the banquet table.
"I... grass..."
"Isn't this too perfunctory?"
"Is he going to take this black iron pot, broken bamboo shovel, and broken kitchen knife to participate in the Tianshu Ranking Xuanshi Skills Competition?"
"Wait a minute, I seem to have seen that broken pot and blade somewhere..."
"Ah, I remembered it!"
"When it was dawn this morning, I saw a young man take out a broken spiritual stone and exchange it with an old beggar from the Beggar Sect for something that he wanted to beg for."
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, the Beggar Sect has a very mysterious belief: everything that comes from afar should be turned into treasure."
"I just thought that person believed this, so I bought a broken pot to improve my luck and ward off evil spirits. Who would have thought that the person who bought the pot turned out to be Chen Shen?"
"Moreover, this guy brought this broken pot into the arena..."
The person responsible for inspecting the cooking utensils twitched his lips and paused for a long time before asking: "Are you sure you're going to use this thing to compete?"
"Are you sure? Is there any problem?"
The inspector was completely speechless by the "natural" rhetoric on the other side's face. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand to let him go: "No problem, no problem, then I wish you good luck..."
