Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　Bai Yuan calmly shared his understanding of cooking.

　Master Baiyao nodded after hearing his words. Indeed, there is only one standard for judging whether a dish is good or bad.

　Whether it tastes good or not.

　Its form is actually just a carrier.

　"The second phase of the 'Flowing Light Cuisine' is largely the same, except for the change in how it's served. What kind of difference will there be in the taste?"

　Master Baiyao pondered for a moment, then picked up the dish with his chopsticks. The small cube was surprisingly firm and did not fall off.

　"Perhaps this is the true way to eat this dish."

　Suddenly, the idea popped into Master Baiyao's mind. He then put the dish into his mouth, and the next moment, the umami flavor exploded in his mouth!

　Rich, full-bodied, with a hint of broth.

　Bamboo shoots, ham slices, and shiitake mushroom slices enhance the texture of the five-layered duck, while also elevating the flavor of the duck meat and making its layers of flavor more distinct.

　And because only scallion knots and ginger slices are added, this dish showcases the flavor of the ingredients themselves.

　But that's enough. The umami flavors of the five kinds of poultry are layered together, each distinct yet blended together, creating an indescribable taste!

　The first thing that hits you is the delicate and mellow flavor of the duck meat, which carries a deep, natural freshness that slowly unfolds.

　Then, the wild flavor of wild duck meat is subtly added, giving the dish a touch of untamed spirit and vitality, while creating a subtle contrast with the mildness of domestic duck meat.

　Then, the sweetness of the pigeon meat and the delicacy of the quail meat intertwine, their unique umami flavors dancing lightly in the mouth!

　Finally, the flavor of the wild pigeon meat spread and permeated the rest of the dish, elevating its deliciousness to a new level! Its firmer texture and richer umami flavor are undoubtedly the finishing touch to this dish!

　The explosion of so many elements in an instant is completely different from the feeling of savoring it little by little at the beginning, and the impact is extremely strong!

　"This is really true!"

　"Ride freely, above and below the heavens!"

　Close your eyes, and you feel as if you have transformed into a phoenix, with all sorts of fragrances intertwining and turning into tail feathers to increase your speed.

　The phoenix spreads its wings, and all birds bow down in awe. This spirit of roaming freely across the heavens and earth is truly awe-inspiring.

　"It's not just luminous cuisine, it's the absolute pinnacle of luminous cuisine. The immersive experience it provides is something that ordinary cuisine can't offer!"

　The skillful old woman spoke her conclusion, her face still showing the shock of emerging from a hallucination. Despite being cut into countless small pieces, the dish before her still shimmered with light, even more steadily than before!

　"This kind of cooking..."

　"This level of cuisine."

　"As expected, we have no right to comment."

　The three of them silently put down their pens, a look of shame appearing on their faces.

　This level of cuisine is beyond the comprehension of these six-star chefs; it absolutely surpasses the standards of a seven-star chef!

　A nineteen-year-old eight-star chef, or even higher, such a prodigy must be reported to the China Chefs Association!

　The identities of all eight-star chefs in China are top secret, and they rarely appear in the public eye. The only eight-star chef they know is Zheng Aqiang, the head chef of state banquets.

　His name was quite ordinary, the kind of name that was commonplace in that era, but he managed to rise to the position of head chef for state banquets with just a kitchen knife.

　Even with their status, no one would hear a word about the nine-star chefs above that level. Chefs of this caliber are national treasures!

　"Although I'm not qualified to give a review, I can tell you with certainty that this dish tastes even better than the previous boneless fish with three kinds of seafood!"

　Master Baiyao's voice rang out once again, making the fairest judgment. Although the other two Heavenly Kings did not speak, they nodded in agreement.

　"In that case.

　The duel in front of the gods has ended. First place: Bai Yuan; second place: Zhang Xingyuan; third place: Lei Tianci; fourth place: Li Xiao.

　After finalizing the results, Master Baiyao stood up, stepped forward, and loudly announced the results to the audience.

　A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

　"That young man actually won!?"

　"I knew he would win in the end!"

　"Get lost! You were just saying he was bad, and now you're supporting him? Your change of heart is so fast, are you going to study Peking Opera?"

　"What! I only said that to put some pressure on him! Actually, I trusted him from beginning to end. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

　"I never expected that Li Zhuang Pork Belly would only rank third. What was that continuous shimmering light on those two dishes? Was it a step beyond the golden light?"

　"I'm not sure. I've only heard of Golden Light Cuisine, never Flowing Light Cuisine."

　However, judging from its higher rating than Jin Guang, perhaps it's a higher-ranked dish? In any case, it's quite remarkable that that young man was able to beat...

　What a talented chef! His future is truly limitless!

　Not everyone in the audience knew about the glowing cuisine, and most of them were seeing glowing cuisine for the first time today, hence their question.

　"In any case, we should be able to see the legendary kitchenware next."

　One audience member, looking expectantly towards the location of the legendary kitchenware, remarked.

　"A legendary kitchen utensil, one that I'll probably only see once in my lifetime. I'm so excited! What will that kitchen utensil look like?"

　As Master Baiyao announced the final winner of the competition, a huge commotion erupted in the audience, with some people shouting excitedly.

　"Boom~"

　The murmurs subsided only when the bells rang from the mountain.

　"The legendary kitchen utensils that have been sleeping in Daeson Temple until the true successor appears."

　"Bai Yuan, Zhang Xingyuan, and Lei Tianci, all three of Guangdong Province's top-level chefs, have demonstrated outstanding performance in the sacred knife skills competition before the gods and will be qualified to participate in the kitchen utensil inheritance ceremony."

　As everyone's attention swept around the scene, Master Baiyao's voice rang out once again, announcing that Bai Yuan and the other two had qualified to participate in the inheritance ceremony.

　"Inheritance ceremony?"

　In the audience, Miyoko Hojo looked somewhat puzzled.

　"Does that mean... even if you win the competition, you can't just take the kitchenware with you?"

　Kikuchi Yoko murmured softly, pinching her chin.

　“That’s right, he’s not the official heir to the legendary kitchenware yet. The owner of a legendary kitchenware must undergo a ceremony to determine if he is the true heir.”

　Li Xiang appeared behind them at some point, and the sudden sound made the women tremble. Then Li Wanwan turned around.

　"Dad, can you please not make sudden noises? It's kind of scary! And how do you know so much? You didn't understand anything last time."

　Upon seeing that it was her father, Li Wanwan couldn't help but complain, patting her ample chest as she spoke to calm herself down.

　Li Xiang glanced at this and said nothing more. At this moment, several elderly monks came to Bai Yuan and the other two, with Master Baiyao by their side.

　“Three benefactors, please follow me.”

　"it is good."

　Bai Yuan nodded and was the first to take a step to follow, while Zhang Xingyuan and Lei Tianci lagged behind him by half a step as a sign of respect.

　Although he was just a young man, his ability to produce dishes of that caliber made him a senior figure in the culinary world, deserving of respect.

　"I also saw the legendary kitchen utensils in an old book."

　That was a thousand years ago, when a legendary chef forged secret kitchen utensils using a meteorite that fell from space.

　As Bai Yuan followed the monks of Daxian Temple, Li Xiang's voice rang out once again as he recounted to his daughter and her friends what he had seen and heard in ancient books.

　He had been searching for a long time before finally finding it in a corner of the library.

　"Kitchenware, open the package!"

　At the same time, an aged voice rang out from not far away. Accompanied by the sound of a piece of paper tearing, the old monk took out the box containing the legendary kitchen utensils and placed it on the judges' table.

　As he placed his hand on the box and slightly opened it, a thick golden light burst forth, so bright that it blinded people!

　Only Bai Yuan, with his exceptional eyesight, stared intently at the box, at the legendary kitchenware inside, his eyes filled with fervor.

　"what?"

　"Auspicious clouds! Look! Golden light is shooting up into the sky, making the clouds sparkle!"

　"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the legendary kitchen utensil? It has such incredible effects!"

　"It's spectacular! All the photos I took with my phone were overexposed. It's outrageous! How can we not take pictures to record such a scene!"

　"Indeed, mine isn't clear either; it's as if it's being affected by some mysterious force!"

　A dazzling golden light burst forth from the box, soaring into the sky and drawing in all the surrounding clouds, transforming them into auspicious cloud formations.

　Those around had never seen anything like it before, and they all pulled out their phones to take pictures. However, as if interfered with by an unknown magnetic field, the phones were unable to capture the scene before them.

　"It really is the Eternal Spirit Blade."

　Looking at the kitchen utensils lying quietly in the box, Bai Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.

　After this period of understanding, he clearly realized that this world is not the world of "Cooking Master Boy," nor is it the timeline after that.

　But whether it's the Guangzhou cuisine assessment, the knife skills duel before the gods, or even the legendary kitchen utensils that appeared in the Daxian Temple.

　All of this suggests that this world has an intricate connection with "Cooking Master Boy"! Perhaps this explains why he transmigrated here.

　"No matter what, let's take it one step at a time."

　There's no point in thinking too much. Since he's doing well in this world, Bai Yuan doesn't bother to consider anything else. His top priority right now is to gain the approval of the kitchenware!

　"It's not rusty at all."

　"But at first glance, it looks just like an ordinary kitchen knife."

　Those who were closer to the front stood on tiptoe to look into the box and then discovered that this legendary kitchen utensil looked exactly like an ordinary kitchen knife.

　"Come on, pick it up and take a look."

　Master of a Hundred Medicines

　A voice sounded beside Bai Yuan, tinged with a hint of excitement. Perhaps this man could truly gain the approval of the legendary kitchenware!

　"Ah."

　Bai Yuan nodded and gave a faint reply.

　"So, what exactly is this so-called inheritance ceremony? When will it begin?"

　Seeing Bai Yuan's expression gradually turn serious, Li Wanwan reached out and scratched her hair, feeling somewhat confused. This was making her very anxious!

　“It has already begun. When he holds that Eternal Spirit Blade in his hand, whether he is the true heir or not, the Eternal Spirit Blade itself will determine for itself.”

　Li Xiang's voice rang out again. The ancient book was found in a library in Guangzhou, so it contained very detailed information about the Yongling Blade.

　This knife has the ability to restore the freshness of ingredients that have been stored for a long time and lost their flavor; it's no exaggeration to say that it's the dream knife of chefs everywhere.

　Unfortunately, only his master could do it.

　This is a knife that has been without an owner for over a thousand years, accumulating more than a thousand years of loneliness.

　Chapter 82 The Eternal Spirit Blade, awaiting its successor after a thousand years!

　Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Yuan held his breath and was unusually nervous.

　He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and picked up the Eternal Spirit Blade. The feel of it was surprisingly good.

　The next moment, an overwhelming aura surged from the blade, pressing down on Bai Yuan as if trying to crush him. However, apart from his robes fluttering in the wind, Bai Yuan didn't move an inch.

　At the same time, an even more powerful aura emanated from Bai Yuan, rushing towards the Eternal Spirit Blade and causing it to hum.

　"What happened? What happened after you picked up the knife? It doesn't seem like anything unusual happened."

　"So when will the succession ceremony begin?"

　The audience looked at Bai Yuan with confusion; most of them were only now learning about the legendary Chinese kitchenware.

　Few people present understood how the succession ceremony was conducted.

　"Look! Golden light is emanating from the cleaver!"

　Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone's attention turned to Bai Yuan's hand, or more accurately, to the Eternal Spirit Blade.

　"It really is! I thought there was a flashbang in the box, which is why it emitted that golden light. I didn't expect it to be the golden light emitted by the knife!"

　"This is astonishing! How could such a thing happen! A kitchen knife, which is supposed to be an inanimate object, started to glow!"

　At this moment, Bai Yuan looked at the golden dragon soul that flew out from the sword and stared at him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
