Was bear paw delicious? Most people would think that bear paw was a kind of delicacy and it tasted extrely delicious. However, that wasn’t the case at all.
Maybe it was because there was a famous saying which went: I want to eat fish and I also want to eat bear paw. If I can only choose one of the two, I will give up fish for the paw.
That was the reason everyone thought that bear paw was a delicacy which was hard to co by. However, in actuality, the at of a bear paw wasn’t as tasty as one would imagine.
Nevertheless, Bu Fang didn’t care about it too much. He didn’t care if bear paw was tasty or not since he would be doing his best to make it into a dish.
Even though the taste of the bear paw was extrely bad, it was still an ingredient which ca from a divine beast. How bad could it be?
Placing the bear paw into the pot, he poured the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine all over it. He completely covered the bear paw and the aroma from the wine quickly soaked into the bear paw. In an instant, the unpleasant sll emitted by the bear paw dissipated.
Originally, Bu Fang was supposed to brush on a coating of honey on the at. However, he didn’t prepare any honey and instead, he used the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine to get rid of the unpleasant sll.
The effects were not too bad. The Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine contained dense spirit energy and when they mixed together, the spirit energy in the bear paw started to circulate.
The soup stock in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok started to boil and the spirit herbs which had been prepared by Bu Fang started to roll around inside it. A pleasant fragrance was emitted and filled the area.
Bu Fang took out the bear paw which had been soaking for so ti, then placed it into the boiling soup in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
...
Xiong Shi finally managed to suppress the sadness in his heart and realized that it would be useless even if he wallowed in his sadness. He knew he had to do his best in order to refine this elixir. As long as he managed to refine this elixir, he would be able to defeat the main culprit who killed his giant bear.
However, every ti he thought about how this chef was cooking the paw which ca from his giant bear, he felt as though sothing was stabbing at his heart. He didn’t know whether his discomfort was due to the aftereffects of the Sorrowful Orchid... He felt like crying.
In the end, his tears didn’t flow out and he forcefully kept them back. He focused all of his attention into the furnace.
A ball of pink fire erged from his hands as it jumped into his alchemy furnace. Xiong Shi finally managed to concentrate all of his attention into the refinent of his elixir.
This round of the competition which seed to be a farce was finally getting back on track. Xiong Shi’s alchemy skills were extrely strong. There were many people who were worried for Bu Fang, however, there were also many audience mbers who felt as though Xiong Shi should be afraid of him.
After all, the sight of a furnace explosion from Bu Fang’s opponent wasn’t uncommon.
Bu Fang clasped his hand behind his back and it seed as though he was counting the ti in his heart. After so ti, he opened his eyes and quickly fished out the bear paw which was piping hot.
The bear paw which was letting out steam started to emit a aty fragrance. There was a peculiar sll which ca along with the sll of the at.
After retrieving the bear paw, Bu Fang cleaned the Black Turtle Constellation Wok once again before pouring Spirit Spring Water into it. Before adding the bear paw into the wok, he added many different kinds of spirit herbs and boiled the water for the third ti.
This ti, the speed at which the water boiled was extrely quick. As the hot water surged, Bu Fang took out the bear paw once again.
At this mont, Bu Fang finally started to seriously prepare the bear paw.
Retrieving all his ingredients, Bu Fang added in so oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. Frying the spirit herbs which were filled with spirit energy, he placed the bear paw which had been boiled thrice into the wok.
Adding the supre beast at as well as so spirit herbs into the wok, Bu Fang finished it off by adding so soup before he simred the contents in the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
As the dish simred, Bu Fang added in so seasoning
As Bu Fang didn’t cover the wok, hot steam rose into the air and the fragrance of the bear at started to diffuse around the arena.
The fragrance had a hint of a gay sll but it wasn’t slly at all. Anyway, it was a sll which was extrely unique.
The audience had clear eyes as they looked at Bu Fang’s Black Turtle Constellation Wok. They couldn’t control themselves as they whispered among each other.
Many people were suddenly curious. How would the bear paw taste like?
On the judicators’ seat, the five Grand Masters were looking at Bu Fang with serious gazes. They had tasted Bu Fang’s dishes before and, this ti, they discovered that he was cooking bear paw. They had no idea how the bear paw would taste like and they didn’t know the effects of Bu Fang’s dish...
"Actually, it shouldn’t be too bad this ti. Look at how many spirit herbs he added and how they complent each other. It seems as though it’s more complicated than alchemy!"
"Isn’t that true... Alchemy seems much easier compared to this. However, because it’s easier, it seems like we can’t bring out the full effects of the spirit herbs we use."
"Alchemists are different from chefs. There is no point in our discussion."
The grand master alchemists discussed with each other and they felt as though this little chef’s cooking skills were extraordinary. It seed as though they were able to obtain so inspiration from Bu Fang.
However... for sothing as elusive as inspiration, it was difficult to grasp.
Xiong Shi had thoroughly entered a state where he solely focused on alchemy and it seed as though he was almost going crazy. His eyes were bloodshot and he emitted a strong surging montum. The pink fire in his alchemy furnace was rolling about unceasingly.
A faint fragrant was emitted from his furnace.
After simring the bear paw for half a day, the at beca extrely soft and tender. The at seed as though it was about to turn transparent and the muscular bear paw seed extrely tempting.
It looked extrely delicate and beautiful.
Retrieving a huge and round porcelain plate, Bu Fang placed the tender bear paw into the center of the plate. He placed the spirit herbs around it as decoration.
The supre beast at which was simred till it was soft and tender was placed around the bear paw as well. It as though they were like leaves surrounding a flower. A blast of hot air erged and the steam around the bear paw beca much denser.
However, after Bu Fang did all this, his dish still wasn’t complete.
"Ahhh!"
Instead, just as Bu Fang was about to add the finishing touches on his dish, Xiong Shi’s enraged roar sounded in the distance.
With a loud thud, the alchemy furnace which was slightly floating in the air crashed into the bronze platform. The entire stage started to shake.
Xiong Shi’s body was wet with perspiration and the tuft of hair on his head was already ssy. His eyes were bloodshot and his entire body seed as though it was emitting a tyrannical aura.
His eyes were fixed on Bu Fang, however, it was more accurate to say that it was fixed on the bear paw. Gritting his teeth, he swung his hand and the lid of the alchemy furnace opened in an instant. A ripple started to spread out with Xiong Shi’s furnace as the center.
The fluctuations were invisible and they rippled in every direction.
A pink pill started to float out from the alchemy furnace and the air around it fluctuated. There were two pill lines on the pill and it emitted a bright glow.
He actually managed to complete his refinent... Moreover, he did it extrely quickly!
All of the audience mbers finally noticed Xiong Shi and stared at him. How could he be done with his refinent?
It was extrely quick!
This ti, it seed as though there was no furnace which exploded... It was really a miracle!
There were many audience mbers who had never seen a furnace explode before and a disappointed expression actually appeared on their faces.
Xiong Shi glared at Bu Fang and tightly gripped his pill.
Bu Fang shot a glance at Xiong Shi before turning away. He started to prepare the finishing touches of his dish.
As the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife rotated, Bu Fang sliced the ingredients and poured so oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He added the ingredients and started to fry them up.
After frying them for so ti, the soup started to thicken up.
Rumble...
As bubbles appeared on the surface of the soup, rumbling sounds could be heard when they popped. There would be spirit energy which lingered around when that happened.
The thick soup had a ruddy color and seed as though it was the sa as the gravy which Bu Fang used when he cooked the Sweet ’n’ Sour Ribs. However, compared to the gravy, this soup seed even thicker.
Extinguishing the fire, Bu Fang prepared the wok as he scooped up so of the thick soup. He drizzled it on top of the bear paw.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
In an instant, hot steam rose into the air. The fragrance seed to fill the area imdiately as it erged from the dish.
The fragrance was faintly discernible as it quickly covered the entire arena. The audience mbers were able to sll the aroma almost instantly and intoxicated expressions appeared on their faces.
"It slls so good! Indeed... The dish produced by this chef is never ordinary!"
"Even though the fragrance isn’t as dense as the barbeque, it feels as though it is restrained. There is sothing different about it."
"The aroma coming from this dish isn’t the strongest, however, the flavor contained in it is the best!"
....
The audience seed as though they were all food connoisseurs as they nodded their heads while they comnted on the dish.
Retrieving a plump white radish, Bu Fang shot a glance at Xiong Shi and his Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife started to fly around. The audience was only able to see a blur before the product appeared in Bu Fang’s hand. He carved the radish into a shape of a bear which had its mouth open as it roared.
The majesty of the bear seed unparalleled.
Placing this bear onto the plate, Bu Fang completed his dish.
"Red Braised Bear Paw... complete."
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife twirled around in his hand and Bu Fang played with it for so ti before grabbing it firmly. His face was expressionless when he declared that his dish was complete.
Rumble!
Everyone was unable to control themselves as they swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Staring at the tender and fragrant bear paw, it seed as though their appetite was stimulated.
Although the fragrance wasn’t sothing extraordinary, it brought with it a kind of special charm. The audience mbers beca unable to control themselves.
Looking at the piece of glistening bear paw on the porcelain plate, Xiong Shi couldn’t help himself as he grieved in his heart.
"My bear..."
When the judge saw that both of them were done, he walked in between them. He had a curious gaze on his face as he looked at the bear paw. Looking at the exquisite and beautiful Red Braised Bear Paw, the judge swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
He had eaten many elixirs before. However, this was the first ti he had seen anything like this dish which was both beautiful and fragrant.
A majestic voice ca from the vault of heaven. No one knew when, but the five grand masters had already appeared on the stage. The judge was shocked as he paid his respects to the five of them.
"There is sothing special about this round. Let us be the judges of this round." Clasping his hand behind his back, Grand Master Xuan Ming said. A gust of wind was swept up when Grand Master Xuan Ming spoke.
The rest of the grand masters had solemn expressions on their faces as they nodded their heads. After nodding, all of them looked at the bear paw.
"What is this dish called?" Grand Master Xuan Ming looked at Bu Fang and asked.
All of them surrounded the bear paw and started to examine it. They discovered that there was spirit energy circulating inside the glittering and exquisite bear paw. Compared to the barbeque in the previous round, it seed as though the bear paw was much more appealing.
Xiong Shi held onto his two-mark spirit pill and was extrely confused. Why did the five grand masters run down there?
Even if you planned on coming down, why didn’t you notice ?
I’m the victim here! The bear paw which that little fellow cooked ca from my giant bear!
Xiong Shi suddenly felt as though he was abandoned by the entire world. A feeling of sadness which was hard to describe appeared in his heart.
"This dish? I call it the Red Braised Bear Paw... It tastes really good," Bu Fang glanced at Grand Master Xuan Ming and lightly said.
After he said it, he grabbed his advertisent board and started to seriously advertise his Cloud Mist Restaurant...
Everyone was already familiar with Bu Fang’s stiff advertisent. All of their attention was placed on the Red Braised Bear Paw instead.
The grand masters looked at each other before picking up their chopsticks. Standing on the bronze platform, they lightly touched the bear paw with their chopsticks before picking up a piece.
In the instant their chopsticks pierced into the bear paw, the several grand masters were shocked.
That was because the at was extrely tender. Even though they lightly touched it, the at fell apart. A brilliant light burst out from the bear paw and illuminated the area.
