I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1841 Place of Trial
This trend makes the Imperial Kitchen busy all day long. Whether it is day or night, many people come here to taste the food.

You know, the pills made by Dan Pavilion never need to consider the taste. Many disciples often swallow them with gritted teeth. However, now there is such a delicious dish that can also exert the effect of pills. Who would be willing to miss it? Obviously, people are flocking to such delicacies.

"Deputy Palace Master, Deputy Palace Master, there are too many people, we are almost overwhelmed!" A kitchen helper from the Imperial Kitchen ran to Rao Tiexiong anxiously and shouted, his face full of fatigue.

However, Rao Tiexiong did not back down. He still handled the dishes in front of him skillfully and handed them to a kitchen helper. His eyes were full of determination, as if he could persevere no matter how great the difficulties ahead were.

"You have to persevere even if you are too busy. Didn't you always say that no one appreciated your cooking skills? Now that people are here, you are not satisfied again?" Rao Tiexiong said lightly while he was busy.

This busy scene shocked even a deputy hall master like him. He originally thought that the business model proposed by Liu Jun would only lead to losses in the end. However, what he never expected was that in just a few days, the spirit stones and divine coins they earned had already filled several boxes. This result made him admire Liu Jun's wisdom and vision.

Although the key chefs were exhausted, their inner joy was beyond words. They received such a generous salary, which was unprecedented in the entire industry. Moreover, the food supply in the kitchen was sufficient, allowing them to taste a variety of delicious dishes that replenished their spiritual energy at any time.

If this continues for a long time, even if other practitioners work day and night, it is estimated that they will find it difficult to catch up with their practice speed. Such a good thing was unthinkable in the past.

Nowadays, whenever the chefs of the Imperial Kitchen reveal their identities, they will be warmly received by people. Their status has risen sharply, even comparable to that of the Alchemy Pavilion. Originally, the Alchemy Pavilion was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, because the appearance of the Imperial Kitchen resulted in almost no one buying the elixir for replenishing spiritual energy. However, when they learned that the person behind the Imperial Kitchen was Liu Jun, their original dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

Now, it is self-evident who has the highest status and the most powerful power in the entire Dan Sect. And Liu Jun is undoubtedly the most respected and the person who cannot be offended. His influence has even surpassed that of the Sect Master Jiang Yueyang, and he has become a legend in the entire Dan Sect.

Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong! The deafening bell sound resounded throughout the Dan Sect, as if to shake the ancient sect. Amid the inspiring bell sound, the densely packed contestants in the square waited nervously and expectantly for the opening of the trial ground.

The sun shines on the square, coating everything with a layer of golden light. The contestants are dressed in various costumes, their faces are filled with confidence and expectation. They come from different regions and have different backgrounds. Some are outer disciples of Danzong, but at this moment, they all gather here for the same goal - to challenge the trial ground, obtain the qualification of inner disciples, and prove their strength and perseverance.

In front of them, there seemed to be a super-large mirror, but it did not reflect any light. The mirror was dozens of feet high, as if a giant beast opened its mouth wide, wanting to swallow everyone in. However, this was not an ordinary mirror, but a giant mirror crystal unique to Danzong.

This crystal is connected to countless small mirror crystals hidden in the trial ground. Once turned on, it can broadcast the images in the trial ground in real time.

The big guys outside the trial land can use this giant mirror crystal to observe the situation and challenge process in the trial land, and thus determine whether anyone is cheating.

The atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense. The contestants were either standing or looking at the giant mirror crystal, as if they were trying to find the slightest clue from it the moment the crystal opened.

As for the Danzong disciples who had successfully passed the trial ground, they were watching leisurely on the sidelines, nodding or shaking their heads from time to time, as if they were evaluating the strength and potential of these younger generations.

The bells continued to ring, like the sound of a war drum, inspiring people to move forward. Finally, the bells gradually faded away, replaced by a heavy sound of footsteps. The atmosphere in the square instantly reached a climax, and everyone knew that the trial ground was about to open, and a thrilling challenge was about to take place.

In the announcement of the list of people who would enter the trial ground, the presiding elder read out a long list of names in a steady voice. Among these names, the Supreme Elder Jinqianzi was the main supervisor, responsible for supervising the fairness and justice of the entire trial process. The other supervisors were Chen Yan, Zhang Yanfei, Gao Ming, Wu Bing and others.

These inspectors are guest elders who play a less important role in the sect and spend most of their time on missions outside. They are not deeply involved with the sect. Therefore, they can be fair and just to the greatest extent possible and are not affected by the internal interests of the sect.

Among them, Gao Ming and Wu Bing's selection was not surprising. Although they were new guest elders who had joined the sect and were unfamiliar with anyone in Danzong, this made them ideal candidates for supervisors. Their presence could ensure the fairness of the trial process and avoid unfairness caused by personal relationships.

Some people may worry that in such a trial place, someone with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, this worry is completely unnecessary. Because there are so many masters here, everyone has interests related to Danzong. If someone tries to provoke without thinking, it is undoubtedly a dead end, which is equivalent to running into the muzzle of a gun. In general, the selection of inspectors for this trial place is fair and reasonable, which not only ensures the fairness of the trial process, but also avoids internal disputes of interest.

The responsibility of supervision and management fell on the shoulders of the Grand Elder Liu Jun. However, it was this seemingly majestic Grand Elder who became a hidden danger in everyone's mind.

"Sect Master, I am really worried about our trial ground." Dan Sect's Deputy Sect Master Yue Niuqun frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness, "You know the character of Grand Elder Liu Jun. With his character, entering the trial ground is bound to cause conflicts and troubles."

Jiang Yueyang, as the leader of a sect, just rolled his eyes and didn't answer the deputy leader's concerns. He knew Liu Jun's character and style of doing things very well. Liu Jun always did his own thing and didn't care about small matters. When he first came to Danzong, he dared to dismantle the Qiankun Wuji Formation that had protected Danzong for many years. Who could compare with his courage?

"Master, have you considered other solutions?" Yue Niuqun did not give up and asked again.

Jiang Yueyang shook his head secretly in his heart. He had considered Yue Niuqun's idea, but the reality was much more complicated than he had imagined. Liu Jun's entry into the trial ground was jointly decided by the Grand Elder Canghai and the Grand Elder Wuning. This was the decision of two elders who held a pivotal position in the sect. How could he, a small sect master, easily get into trouble?
"Deputy Sect Leader Yue, I have made a decision on this matter." Jiang Yueyang finally chose to remain silent. He knew that no matter how he explained, Yue Niuqun would not understand his difficulties.

"Master, please think twice!" Yue Niuqun's voice was full of anxiety, his eyes flashed with an unyielding light, and he kept persuading.

Jiang Yueyang stared at Yue Niuqun with a cold look, revealing an unquestionable determination. "I said I know, I know, can't you hear me? This is the decision of the two supreme elders of Canghai Wuning, if you have any objections, go and talk to them!" His voice was cold, like an icy sword, piercing people's hearts.

Yue Niuqun was about to say something else, but at this moment, the unfriendly gaze of the Supreme Elder Wuning swept over him, as sharp as a sword, and frightened him so much that he immediately shut his mouth.

His body was trembling slightly, his heart was filled with helplessness and fear. He knew very well that in the face of the Supreme Elder Wuning, he could raise objections, but he would easily be slapped in the face, so he felt that it was okay to keep some opinions.

The reason why he was really afraid of the Supreme Elder Wuning was because Yue Niuqun had indeed been slapped by the Supreme Elder Wuning. That time, his face was swollen for a whole month before it went down. In order not to be so embarrassed, he secluded himself for a month before going out.

As the bells stopped ringing, the large mirror above the square lit up. It was like a huge magic mirror, with hundreds of square images appearing on it, showing the scenes of various locations in the trial ground. These images were like windows, allowing people to clearly see what was happening in every corner.

At the same time, an arch appeared in front of everyone. It was tall and majestic, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. There were exquisite reliefs carved on both sides of the arch, as if telling a long history.

"Grand Elder, you can come in." The presiding elder's voice was low, and his eyes were shining with anticipation.

Liu Jun nodded, turned around and waved to everyone, as if he had won a big prize and was going up on stage to receive the award. He kept showing off for a minute or two. His actions were exaggerated and funny, which made everyone laugh. Sect Leader Jiang Yueyang covered his face.

"Grand Elder, it's time to go in." The presiding elder's mouth twitched, and he urged helplessly. There was a kind of impatience in his voice, but he didn't dare to be too tough.

"Don't rush me. Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Jun muttered in dissatisfaction, then reluctantly stepped in.

Soon after, the various supervisors also walked in, followed by the thousands of contestants. They were full of anticipation and nervousness, and stepped into the archway one by one. Everyone had a different expression, but they were undoubtedly full of anticipation for the upcoming trial.

As people enter, the world behind the arch gradually unfolds before their eyes. It is a world full of wonders and unknowns, horror and danger.
