Bu Fang reached out a forefinger, from which a silver flame jumped out with a ‘pop.’ With a flick of the finger, he sent the flame into the stove.
The Black Turtle Constellation Wok was placed over it. As the silver flame burned with high temperature, the water stain in the wok slowly vaporized, turning into a hazy mist.
He took out a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, grabbed the glinting Luan bird’s egg, and lightly smashed the egg against the bowl’s edge. With a crack, a fine line immediately appeared across its surface.
Grabbing the eggshell with his forefinger and thumb, Bu Fang forcefully split it in half. The egg immediately fell into the bowl.
Luan Birds were a kind of top-tier divine beast. Although they could not be compared with phoenixes, their eggs were a top-grade food ingredient.
The color of the egg yolk was orange like that of the setting sun, which looked particularly beautiful. The egg white around it was clear and without any impurity.
Bu Fang picked up the bowl and a pair of chopsticks, then began to beat the egg familiarly. The chopsticks knocked at the bowl and produced a rhythmic sound, while the egg in the bowl was breaking up.
He was done beating the egg when it turned into a glaze-like texture, and when he could pull long, thin strings out of it when he raised the chopsticks.
The processed egg was not the only ingredient. He still got other ingredients to process.
He took out the fat oysters. These oysters were extremely fat, and after he bred them with the Spring of Life, they became even more energetic.
Now that Bu Fang’s level was getting higher and higher, he finally realized the preciousness of the Spring of Life. He found that the water actually contained a unique Power of Law. Although it was weak, it was very mysterious.
That Law should be the legendary Law of Life, a very mysterious and useful Law among the five supreme Laws of the Universe. However, when compared with other supreme Laws, the Law of Life was weaker in offense.
In any case, that weak Power of Law had strengthened the Spring of Life’s spirituality, so using it to cultivate and clean food ingredients could make them even more delicious.
The spirit fruit, which Bu Fang had peeled, was not a stranger to him. In short, it was a sweet potato, but its name in this world was Godblood Potato. He crushed it with a slap, sent out his divine sense, and slowly ground it into bits. Then, he dried it with the Divine flame, turning it into sweet potato powder.
Of course, this was just simple sweet potato powder. With Bu Fang’s divine sense, he could crush every cell in the potato and turn it into pure powder.
Apart from the sweet potato powder, Bu Fang still needed to prepare other ingredients.
Purple Garlic was an ingredient that had followed Bu Fang for a long time. The basic food ingredients cultivated in the Heaven and Earth Farmland could be used in many dishes, so he had asked Niu Hansan to cultivate them with heart.
He cut the garlic into small pieces. Then, he took out those oysters which had been cleaned with the Spring of Life and added them into the Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine. As soon as they were submerged in the wine, the oysters began to spit bubbles.
After marinating for a while, Bu Fang added the garlic into the oysters and began stirring. While doing that, he added some specially made spices, poured in the sweet potato powder, and added the Spring of Life, mixing them into a batter.
With that, the ingredients were considered prepared.
The Black Turtle Constellation Wok was very smooth, and its surface was giving off hot air. Bu Fang reached out a hand to feel the scorching heat over it.
He picked up the porcelain bowl and prepared to pour the oyster batter into the wok. However, he hesitated for a while and glanced out of the kitchen. Then, he opened the kitchen door and let the aroma out.
Twitching the corner of his mouth slightly, Bu Fang returned to the stove and poured the oyster batter into the wok.
Sizzle…
The oyster batter solidified as soon as it entered the wok, and the piping heat made the oysters in it keep trembling. As the ingredients became solid at a rate visible to the naked eyes, an aroma began to spread.
The fishy smell of the oysters had been gotten rid of. As the temperature rose, the aroma became very strong, and all that was left was the simple fragrance. Together with the aroma of the sweet potato powder and the garlic, they made Bu Fang, standing beside the wok, gulp.
This dish was an… aroma bomb! Putting aside how it would taste, its aroma was superb! Among the many dishes Bu Fang had cooked, the aroma of this dish could be ranked as one of the top three.
Bu Fang twitched his nose and sniffed with an intoxicated look. Of course, while he was sniffing, he didn’t neglect the cooking.
His movements didn’t slow down. He fried one side first until it was cooked, then tossed the wok and flipped to the other side with a splat. A sizzling sound rang out again, and the strong aroma spread once more, filling the air and waking up one’s taste buds.
The aroma slowly drifted out of the kitchen. Inside the restaurant, Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree and sleeping, widened his eyes in an instant, his face full of surprise.
Foxy, who was hopping here and there, suddenly stopped in place. One of her legs was raised, slightly bent, as her ears twitched. Her nose was sniffing, and the nine tails behind her back were wagging restlessly. She seemed to be attracted by the aroma, and she fixed her glinting eyes at the kitchen.
Er Ha had long forgotten to lament. “It smells good! This aroma… Dammit, Bu Fang boy is cooking a new dish again? Why is he cooking a new dish as soon as that mangy dog is back?! This isn’t fair!” The feeling of resentment in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.
Nethery also pursed her lips in expectation, sniffed deeply, and showed an intoxicated look on her face.

The aroma lingered in the restaurant.
A large group of people was standing outside the door. They came from various aristocratic families. At this moment, these experts were all stunned. Every one of them was subconsciously twitching their nose and widening their eyes.
“Dammit! It smells so delicious!”
“I’ve never smelled such a rich aroma before… It smells even nicer than the food cooked by Earth Divine Chefs!”
“I’m already drooling. Go back and tell the family head that… I’m not going back to the Luo Family!”
The experts of the aristocratic families went wild. Sometimes, an aroma could drive a person completely crazy. It’s like when one was walking down a street and was attracted by a delicious aroma of a dish that suddenly drifted over. It’s a feeling that touches a person in the depths of their soul.
Luo Sanniang was leaning over a table. She couldn’t wait to taste Bu Fang’s dish.
…
At the site of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance within the Divine Chef Temple…
Summer was standing here, leaning against the railing. Her graceful figure looked very attractive. Suddenly, a faint aroma drifted over, making her eyes light up in an instant. Her body bounced and shot forward, and in a flash, she had vanished from where she was.
King Pingyang was stepping on a chariot pulled by a silver dragon, flying across the sky. He was on his way to attend the morning session of the court in the imperial palace. However… While he was in midair, he suddenly smelled an aroma. It made him move his tongue, and his stomach rumbled. As a God King, he actually felt hungry when he smelled the aroma…
He hesitated for three seconds, then followed the will of his stomach and turned the chariot toward the direction where the aroma came from. Before long, he landed outside the Luo’s skyscraper.
“Aye? Isn’t this that little chef’s restaurant? What is he cooking? Why does it smell so delicious?” King Pingyang was surprised. Then, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the restaurant.
There was a long line outside the restaurant, but he ignored it. With the relationship between him, Bu Fang, and his son, did he need to queue?! Wearing a thick face, he stepped into the restaurant and greeted Luo Sanniang.
Summer had arrived, too. She was sitting on a chair and waiting quietly. The aroma was a little bit similar to that of the oyster pancake, but… it was different. The curiosity in her heart was about to explode.
Inside the kitchen, Bu Fang had begun the last step of the cooking. The oyster pancake, with both sides fried, was quivering in the wok. He picked up the blue-and-white porcelain bowl with the egg and poured in the egg along the edge of the wok.
Sizzle…
As soon as the egg entered the wok, the aroma instantly exploded further! The closer one got to the restaurant, the stronger the aroma. Everyone was intoxicated.
Bu Fang felt a puff of fragrance blowing in his face. It was accompanied by a dazzling golden light and made his hair flutter messily.
Clutching the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, he began to toss it with the slightest movement so that the egg could penetrate the oyster pancake. At the same time, his divine sense surged. The Laws in the Divine flame and the Power of Law contained in him all penetrated the wok.
He rocked the wok and abruptly shook his wrist. The wok collided with the stove and produced a clanking sound. Immediately, the fried oyster pancake coated with oil jumped out, spun once in the air, and fell back into the wok.
He continued to lightly toss the wok, causing the egg to distribute evenly. The aroma was growing stronger and stronger.
Licking his lips, Bu Fang took out a round blue-and-white porcelain plate and poured the fried oyster pancake onto it. The pancake perfectly filled the whole plate. Wisps of hot steam rose from it as it emitted golden light. All the fat oysters still seemed to be quivering and steaming.
Outside the restaurant, the sky seemed to be filled with terrible power. Bu Fang’s dish seemed to attract lightning punishment. However, it was not easy to attract lightning punishment in the divine dynasty. After brewing for a while, it scattered and faded away.
Bu Fang’s spirit went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland and dug out a jar of Vermilion Fruit Jam. It was a jar of bright red jam specially made by Niu Hansan, which had been on his mind ever since he accidentally found it.
So, he took this opportunity to ask for one jar from Niu Hansan. That pained the latter, for each jar of Vermilion Fruit Jam was made after the painstaking process of brewing and fermenting for forty-nine days. They were very precious and delicious.
Bu Fang opened the jar. The bright red Vermilion Fruit Jam inside was giving off a delicious fragrance. He scooped up a spoonful of jam with a porcelain spoon. Fried oyster pancakes, of course, were best served with jam.
He put the spoonful of Vermilion Fruit Jam on the fried oyster pancake and slowly spread it. The golden light seemed to fade significantly, but the dish became more perfect.
Bu Fang grabbed the spoon and swallowed the remaining jam on it. It was sweet, sour, and delicious, containing a unique Will of the Great Path that seemed to make one’s pores open. Niu Hansan rarely brewed something so delicious.
Finally, the fried oyster pancake was completed. Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, his heart filled with expectations. He carried the plate and walked out of the kitchen.
The aroma of oysters, egg, and garlic all mixed, giving the dish the flavor of nature. The dish was not difficult to cook, but it had a very strict requirement in temperature. Of course, the combination of various ingredients was also very important. Besides…the Vermilion Fruit Jam was a must.
Carrying the plate of fried oyster pancake, Bu Fang lifted the kitchen curtain and walked outside. As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, numerous pairs of wolf-like eyes immediately fixed on him.

Gulp. Gulp…
Sounds of swallowing echoed out and filled the air.
