Feng Yan had another intention!
Through this move, he wanted to force out the mysterious person behind Chen Nan who possessed the Blue Flame Li Fire!
Although Elder Cheng said that person's identity would surface soon!
He couldn't wait that long!
This move was to make things difficult for Chen Nan!
And to force out the mysterious person behind him!
"Senior Brother Feng Yan underestimates me, Chen. Let alone a mere fifty people's meals, even a hundred people would be nothing?"
"Let's watch and see, like riding a donkey while reading a songbook!"
Feng Yan spat fiercely, "Then let's see!"
He then left the kitchen in a rage!
"Grandmaster, is there anything I can help you with?" Xia Youwei couldn't help but ask!
"I really need your help!" Chen Nan decided immediately, "Let's go to the kitchen and see what dishes are available!"
There were three storage rings in the kitchen.
One contained green vegetables!
One was meat!
And the other was grains!
All three storage rings held a lot of ingredients!
"You help me wash these vegetables!"
Chen Nan took out many green vegetables from the storage ring!
Then he set up an iron pot!
From the storage ring containing meat, he took out a slaughtered spirit ox!
He took out the beef tallow, then added seasonings!
And began to simmer it!
"Grandmaster, what are you making?" Xia Youwei's eyes lit up, smelling an incredibly peculiar fragrance!
"My hometown's delicacy!" Chen Nan said with a smile!
Then he proceeded to slice the beef!
Time was limited!
He couldn't possibly prepare dinner for fifty people!
After all, the fifty-plus people had ordered two meat and two vegetable dishes!
Let alone him!
Even if Gong Jian and the others were called back, the workload would still be immense!
So!
The simplest solution was to prepare a hot pot!
About an hour later!
Chen Nan sliced fifty plates of mutton!
Fifty plates of beef!
And prepared two kinds of green vegetables!
Fortunately, there were many utensils in the kitchen, all of which could accommodate them!
At the same time!
The hot pot base was cooled into a solid form with the aid of magic!
"I'll deliver the food first, and I'll come back to treat you later!"
Putting the hot pot base and ingredients into the storage space, Chen Nan went door-to-door according to the addresses left by the fifty-plus disciples!
Although there were no stoves!
But they were all artifact refiners!
They all had fire seeds and could release flames while eating hot pot!
Seeing Chen Nan arrive with uncooked ingredients!
Many people were confused!
But when Chen Nan explained the method of eating hot pot!
Everyone felt as if they had witnessed a miracle!
They had never heard of such a way of eating!
After trying it!
The spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor explosion amazed everyone!
They rarely ate such meals!
Even when they occasionally ate, it was mainly for freshness!
They had rarely experienced such an extreme flavor of spicy, fresh, and fragrant!
Without exception!
Everyone praised Chen Nan's cooking skills!
And he successfully resolved the trouble Feng Yan had brought!
"What? That guy managed to get so many people?"
"Damn it!"
"How did he do it?"
Feng Yan was furious when he learned of this!
He had intended to find some people to deliberately make things difficult for Chen Nan!
And thus, lure out the mysterious person behind him who controlled the Blue Flame Li Fire!
Who would have thought that Chen Nan not only resolved the crisis!
But also received a lot of praise!
This made him feel like he had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice!
"I heard Chen Nan invented a hot pot, and it tastes great!"
"But I don't think it's a big deal. It's just putting ingredients in a pot and heating them while eating!"
"However, everyone who has tried it says it's good!"
"Oh, right, the reason you were asking about the delicious smell earlier was the smell of the hot pot!"
Feng Yan's expression turned grim, "I know, you can go now!"
"Yes!"
"Chen Nan, the assessment and certification are coming soon!"
"You'd better hope that person with the Blue Flame Li Fire doesn't show up!"
"Otherwise, both of you will die!"
He didn't know who the person with the Blue Flame Li Fire was, but one thing was obvious: he and Chen Nan were on the same side!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped him kill his two subordinates!
------
"Grandmaster, you can take this secret recipe and open a shop down the mountain!"
"I guarantee this taste will conquer many people's taste buds!"
Xia Youwei was a foodie and had tasted many delicacies in the city!
But most people's tastes here were light and fresh!
A spicy, fresh, and fragrant delicacy like beef tallow hot pot would surely conquer many people!
"I'm not interested in making money!"
Chen Nan wasn't lying. He already had hundreds of thousands of high-grade immortal stones!
He didn't care about wealth at all!
What he truly desired was to learn artifact refining!
"Hee hee hee..." Seeing Xia Youwei's face flushed red from the spiciness, sweating profusely but still eating, Chen Nan said, "Eat less, this stuff is delicious, but it's spicy at both ends!"
?
Xia Youwei looked confused, "Spicy at both ends? People only have one head. Where's the second head?"
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "I mean, it's spicy when you eat it, and it's spicy when it comes out!"
Xia Youwei was stunned for a moment!
Then a playful smile appeared on her face, "I always thought Grandmaster was a serious person, but I didn't expect you to say something like this!"
Chen Nan smacked his lips, "Who isn't young?!"
Xia Youwei: "But you usually act so mature!"
Chen Nan smiled without saying much!
If he wasn't burdened by the goal of going to the Central Continent to find Nangong Wan!
He wouldn't want to appear so profound!
"Let's start the treatment after we finish eating!" he changed the subject!
"En, okay!"
Xia Youwei nodded!
Compared to the tension of last night!
Tonight was clearly much more relaxed!
She no longer worried that Chen Nan would take advantage of her!
The next morning!
Xia Youwei felt incredibly refreshed!
"Let's do it again tonight. I estimate that your constitution will improve by tonight." Chen Nan was also a bit drained from helping Xia Youwei treat her misfortune physique for two consecutive nights!
"Thank you, Grandmaster!"
Xia Youwei was extremely excited!
Time flew by!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the assessment and certification!
Before this, Chen Nan had completely cured Xia Youwei's misfortune physique!
Restoring her to normal!
Because the misfortune energy within Xia Youwei was too concentrated!
Chen Nan did not completely set up a magic array for the misfortune energy!
Instead, he collected the misfortune energy and formed two misfortune seeds the size of mung beans!
Although he didn't know what use they would be!
Keeping them was a means to an end!
At a crucial moment, they could be used to trick someone!
That morning!
Chen Nan arrived at the square of the Sword Forging Academy under the escort of Gong Jian and others!
Many people had already gathered here!
Only a few people were here for the assessment and certification; most were here to watch the spectacle!
After all!
Today's protagonist was Nie Yao!
If she couldn't complete the Level Six Artifact Refiner certification, she would graduate early!
Amidst the gaze of everyone!
Nie Yao, in a white long dress with a cinched waist, appeared before the crowd!
She was fresh and elegant, beautiful but not ostentatious!
She was the goddess in the hearts of countless disciples of the academy!
She appeared in the center of the square, looked around, and a premonition of foreboding arose in her heart: "I clearly had an appointment with Master Tian Lang to assist me in the assessment, so why hasn't he appeared?"
