Chapter 122: The Absurd Immortal Cooking Competition
Liu Yu and his companions slept soundly at the inn in the small town, and continued their journey the next day, refreshed and full of energy. That day, they arrived at a bustling place in the Immortal Realm, where a unique Immortal Culinary Competition was being held.
The competition venue was filled with enticing aromas, and all the top chefs were eager to show off their skills. Liu Yu and his friends curiously gathered around to watch.
The first to take the stage was a chubby immortal who confidently presented his signature dish—"Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Cake." The cake was a riot of colors, resembling colorful clouds in the sky. Just as the judges were about to taste it, the cake suddenly floated up; it had truly transformed into a small, colorful cloud, flitting about the arena. The chubby immortal jumped up and down in frustration, trying to catch the cake, but to no avail, and finally collapsed from exhaustion. The audience roared with laughter, and Liu Yu laughed until tears streamed down his face: "This cake even has wings! Haha!"
Next up was a tall, thin immortal who made "Crystal Fairy Fish Soup." The soup looked crystal clear and incredibly tempting. But when the judges dipped their spoons into it, they found they couldn't scoop up any soup at all; it was like a mirage. The tall, thin immortal awkwardly explained, "This soup is condensed using immortal magic; it requires a special method to taste." The judges looked helpless, and Liu Yu shouted from below the stage, "This is too mystical! Can't you just give us a real sip of soup?"
Just then, a beautiful fairy walked onto the stage, bringing with her "Hundred Flower Candied Fruit." The candied fruit looked delicious and fragrant, but as soon as the judges put it in their mouths, they found their teeth stuck together and they couldn't open their mouths. The fairy exclaimed anxiously, "Oh dear, I put in too much honey!" Liu Yu laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "Is this going to seal the judges' mouths shut?!"
Xu Xian and Xiao Qing were also amused by these bizarre dishes.
It was an old immortal's turn to prepare "Nine-Turn Elixir Rice." Each grain of rice was plump and radiated a strange light. But just as everyone was about to eat, the rice suddenly transformed into tiny pills, bouncing and jumping around in the plate. The old immortal explained, "This rice can grant immortality, so it possesses a spirit." Liu Yu joked, "We dare not eat this rice! What if it causes trouble in our stomachs?"
Bai Suzhen watched the lively scene with a smile.
Next, a young immortal presented a "Flaming Roasted Chicken." The chicken was golden and crispy on the outside, looking incredibly tempting. However, when the judge cut into the chicken, flames burst forth, setting the judge's beard ablaze. The young immortal quickly apologized, "I didn't control the heat well!" Liu Yu laughed so hard he rolled on the ground, "This roasted chicken turned into a fire-breathing dragon!"
The competition was in full swing when a master chef prepared a "Snow Lotus Soup." The soup looked crystal clear, but as soon as it was served, it instantly froze into ice, cracking the plate. The chef said helplessly, "This snow lotus is too cold."
Liu Yu and the others laughed until their stomachs hurt.
At this moment, Liu Yu had a sudden inspiration and said to Xu Xian, "Why don't we also participate in the competition and let these immortals see our cooking skills?" Xu Xian said in surprise, "Us? Can we do it?" Liu Yu said confidently, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's give it a try!"
So, Liu Yu and his friends signed up for the competition. Liu Yu decided to make "braised pork," and he was busy in the kitchen, cutting meat and tending the fire, getting his face covered in soot.
Finally, Liu Yu's braised pork was ready, and he carried the plate onto the stage. The judges looked at this ordinary dish with skeptical expressions. Liu Yu confidently said, "You'll know once you try it."
The judges cautiously took a bite, and to their surprise, the taste was exceptionally good, earning them all a thumbs up. Liu Yu said proudly, "How about that? Human cuisine isn't bad at all!"
In the end, Liu Yu and his team unexpectedly won the competition.
When receiving the award, Liu Yu excitedly ran onto the stage, but accidentally tripped on the steps and rolled all the way to the center of the stage, causing the whole audience to burst into laughter.
After the competition ended, Liu Yu and his friends continued their travels in the Immortal Realm.
They came to a garden where the flowers seemed to dance. Curious, Liu Yu picked a flower, but it suddenly grew larger and enveloped him. Liu Yu screamed from inside the flower, "Help!" Xu Xian and Xiao Qing struggled to free him.
They came to a pond where the fish sang. Liu Yu tried to catch a fish but accidentally fell into the pond and got soaked.
Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, you're really unlucky."
Liu Yu climbed out of the pond and said, "This is my close contact with nature."
In the evening, they arrived at a temple. The monks in the temple were chanting scriptures. Liu Yu felt bored, so he imitated the monks and started chanting scriptures. However, he chanted them in a mess, which amused the monks.
After leaving the temple, they found an inn to rest.
That night, Liu Yu lay in bed, recalling the interesting experiences of the day, and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
In his dream, Liu Yu continues his wondrous adventures in the celestial realm...
