I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Hu Jiahao felt like there was something wrong with what he had just said.

 An Lin forced himself to repress his laughter.

 Hu Jiahao glowered at him with unadulterated rage.

 If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many spectators present, they would probably have a fistfight right here right now.

 “We now invite the competitors, Hu Jiahao and An Lin, to present their dishes to the judge,” the golden boy and the jade girl spoke in unison in their tender voices.

 The two of them immediately carried their large platters toward Emperor Qing Hua before placing them on the table.

 Emperor Qing Hua surreptitiously swallowed. To be able to eat two free supreme-grade meals in one day. Such happy days were not very common at all.

 “Then… Whose should I eat first?”

 He scanned the two covered platters before him with his eyes.

 “Since Chef God Hu Jiahao finished first, I’ll start with his!”

 A faint smile appeared on Emperor Qing Hua’s face as he took the lid off one of the platters.

 A dazzling golden sun instantly appeared before everyone’s eyes!

 “It’s here! The revered light of food!”

 Many of the immortals’ eyes widened in shock, and they couldn’t help but let loose cries of surprise.

 “When an immortal chef reaches the pinnacle of their craft, all of their dishes, which have been infused with the dao realm of their cooking skills, will present golden revered light!”

 “Chef God Hu Jiahao’s revered light is as dazzling as a miniature sun! The quality of his dish must be very high!”

 Just as everyone was exclaiming in amazement, five projections of Celestial Maidens began to dance elegantly and gracefully in the air. At the same time, heavenly music sounded, flowing into the ears of everyone present.

 “Is this the manifestation of the food’s intent realm? It’s so beautiful!”

 “Big Sister, I feel like those Celestial Maidens are better at dancing than you are.”

 “F*ck off!”

 An Lin was also quite amazed by the sight. So even without the enhancement of the frying pan, a phenomenon could still arise from dishes?

 It had to be said, Hu Jiahao was indeed superior to him in the aspect of dao realm in the art of cooking.

 Soon, the phenomenon disappeared to create specks of light, which converged onto the dish below.

 Everyone turned their attention to the dish then and discovered five intricate, porcelain-like Celestial Maidens standing around the dish with an equal amount of distance between each of them. There were yellow and purple dresses draped over their flawless bodies, making them appear particularly graceful and elegant.

 Between them, there was a perfectly round moon that was emanating a faint light.

 Everyone was dazed upon seeing this. Was this really just a dish?

 But soon, an unparalleled aroma began to waft forth from the dish. The refreshing scent of the egg white coupled with the rich aroma of the chicken instantly had drool rolling down the corners of countless immortals’ lips.

 “My God! I can’t take this anymore!” An immortal’s eyes glowed with a fanatical light as he stared at the dish on the table. If it weren’t for his friends holding him back, he would have pounced on the dish like a starving wolf.

 Chef God Hu Jiahao joined his hands in a salute while smiling. “This dish is called Immortals Appraising the Moon. Please do me the honor of tasting it, Emperor.”

 Emperor Qing Hua was unable to repress his growling stomach any longer, and he nodded with a slight smile. “Alright, then allow me to taste the cooking of Chef God Hu Jiahao!”

 He extended his chopsticks and picked off a piece of the moon to find that the moon began to ripple in a rhythmic manner before disappearing from the edges, as if it was representing the cycle of the lunar phase.

 Emperor Qing Hua’s eyes lit up. “Oh? A dish to exemplify the imperfect and perfect states of the moon? How interesting!”

 Everyone let loose another cry of surprise. “It had special effects too?!”

 “I want it!”

 Emperor Qing Hua placed the meat into his mouth, and his body shuddered involuntarily as his taste buds ascended to a blissful heaven.

 So good!

 If there weren’t anyone else around, he would wolf down this dish faster than any competitive eater in history!

 However, he had to maintain his image as an emperor, so he could only chew slowly with an elegant and graceful expression while forcing himself to not become a barbaric Neanderthal…

 What a blissful yet painful experience!

 Emperor Qing Hua felt as if the taste of the meat was constantly assaulting his taste buds, and he instinctively extended his chopsticks to reach for another piece of meat. However, he hesitated momentarily upon seeing the Celestial Maidens, and he picked one of them up with his chopsticks instead.

The tiny Celestial Maiden was picked up and eaten in one bite!

 “Ah…” Another collective cry of surprise erupted from the spectators.

 The little Celestial Maidens were so adorable, how could he eat them?

 A brilliant light burst forth from Emperor Qing Hua’s eyes, and he began delivering his thoughts.

“The exterior of these Celestial Maidens are carved from egg whites while their clothes are created from the egg yolks and eggplant fibers! It exudes the fresh aroma of nature and initially presents a refreshing taste, but it then leaves a taste in the mouth to be savored. This is a superb vegetarian dish on its own!”

 He then turned his attention to the moon. “This moon is constructed from painstakingly cooked chicken and pork and seared by Crimson Gold Divine Flames to lock in all of its moisture and flavor. This is a superb meat dish.

 “This is a flawless combination of meat and vegetables. It was also cooked in accordance with the theme of nature and is overflowing with creativity. I am truly amazed!”

 Emperor Qing Hua let loose a cry of praise and amazement one after another, but his chopsticks did not falter in the slightest as he shoveled food into his mouth.

 All the other immortals were about to stage a rebellion.

 For them to be able to see such delicious food but not eat it… They were absolutely green with envy!!!

 “What to do, Little Sister? I think Mr. An Lin is going to lose…” A Celestial Maiden in a green robe smacked her lips as she stared with scorching eyes at the Immortals Appraising the Moon dish.

 A faint smile appeared on Lin Junjun’s face. “An Lin’s cooking is the best. I believe he can win!”

 “Ohhh…” A red-robed woman turned toward her.

 “Ohohoho…” All the Celestial Maidens turned toward her in unison. They needed no more invitation.

 Thus, Lin Junjun was once against swamped by a sea of suggestive comments.

 Lin Junjun: “…”

 “Hmph! It looks and smells pretty good, but An Lin’s cooking is definitely superior!” The Lightning Goddess had already become An Lin’s fan after eating just one of his dishes.

 “Whatever you say is right, dear wife!” the Lightning God chimed in with a buoyant smile.

 That was what he was saying, but the emotions behind his words were already hinting at the quality of Chef God Hu Jiahao’s dish.

 If it wasn’t for the fact that they felt like this dish was extremely threatening to An Lin’s chances of winning, they wouldn’t be consoling themselves like this.

 All the other immortals were either dumbstruck by amazement or gasping in admiration.

 An assured smile appeared on Hu Jiahao’s face as he shot a glance toward An Lin.

 An Lin’s expression remained unchanged as he looked directly at Emperor Qing Hua.

 Emperor Qing Hua demolished Hu Jiahao’s entire dish before smacking his lips while his eyes narrowed in bliss and enjoyment.

 He seemed to only realize that there was another dish for him to try after a short, blissful pause.

 “Ahem, next, let us taste the dish created by the up and coming Chef God of the Heavenly Court, An Lin.”

 He chuckled with anticipation before lifting the lid off An Lin’s platter.

 Upon hearing this, all the immortals also turned their eyes toward the second dish.

The lid was lifted, but no revered light escaped.

 “This… This dish doesn’t have any revered light?”

 All the immortals were astonished, and even Emperor Qing Hua’s expression shifted.

 If this dish didn’t have any revered light, then it was already of a lower level than the dish he had just tasted. There was also no chance of any spectacular phenomenon taking place.

 However, the dish only began to show its true colors after the lid was completely lifted.

 Everyone’s shocked expression soon transformed into an incredulous expression…

 This was a translucent, snowy-white egg that stood atop the platter while exuding a flawless white sheen under the light of the sun!
