Chapter 1542: Chapter 1535

Three-star Spirit Chef certification failed even for a two-star Spirit Cuisine Master?

Upon hearing this, Xin Lin couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

Not only Xin Lin, but some of the Spirit Chefs in line also looked over, their faces filled with concern.

Those coming to the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association were all there to participate in the certification, among them were Spirit Chefs like this three-star Spirit Chef, who thought that coming to the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association was merely a formal process.

After all, they had all participated in Spirit Chef assessments before and didn’t care too much about it.

"Ah, the Spirit Chef assessment in Fuzhou really lives up to its reputation; just one word: difficult. Their certification starts from one-star. To certify as a three-star Spirit Chef, you must pass the one-star, two-star, and three-star certifications in a single go. My True Qi is far from sufficient to last that long. I couldn’t hold on anymore by the time I reached the two-star level."

The Spirit Chef who failed the certification shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

"No way? Taking three tests in succession, who can handle this!"

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Chefs surrounding him finally understood.

Making Spiritual Food also requires depleting True Qi or Spiritual Power. They became Spirit Chefs mostly because they didn’t excel in cultivation; otherwise, who would willingly enter this profession?

After all, aside from Spiritual Cuisine Masters, basic-level Spirit Chefs are generally considered inferior in status and identity.

Upon hearing this, Xin Lin suddenly understood.

Spirit Chefs below three stars generally have cultivation similar to Spirit Masters and those in the Xuan Transformation Realm; their True Qi and Spiritual Power are unlikely to be abundant.

A three-star Spirit Chef, within one day, can only make three dishes of three-star Spirit Cuisine, and that’s with breaks in between.

Requiring certification candidates to pass three Spirit Cuisine tests in one go at the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association is excessively difficult.

"Are you kidding me? Wasn’t it possible to certify over three days before? Why was the rule suddenly changed?"

"This is clearly bullying; we’ve traveled so far and haven’t even rested well, yet there’s a three-stage certification. The Wangjing Spirit Chef Association is simply outrageous."

Upon hearing about the process, many Spirit Chefs started to back out, and many complained.

Listening to this, Xin Lin also found the situation peculiar.

This way of certification was clearly about raising the bar.

The three-star Spirit Chefs passing these three tests would need to be at least Great Spirit Masters or even those in the Near Blood Realm.

"Attention, attention!"

Upon hearing the commotion outside, a middle-aged woman came out from the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association.

The woman had a long horse-like face covered with pockmarks. Coincidentally, her surname was Ma. She was a four-star Spirit Chef, her gaze intense and her expression serious.

"I know everyone has questions about the assessment, but there is a reason behind the arrangement by the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association. It’s for your own consideration. Are these three consecutive assessments tough? Are they tougher than the special examinations by the Taichang Holy Institute? In just a few days, the special examination will take place, and thousands of Spirit Chefs have already registered for it. The Taichang Holy Institute is considering increasing the difficulty of the special examination. We’ve temporarily raised the bar to save time for both sides. If you can’t pass the consecutive assessments by the Wangjing Spirit Chef Association, what qualifications do you have to participate in the special examination? Those willing to take the consecutive assessments can stay, and those unwilling can leave now."

Having finished, the pockmarked-faced woman scanned the crowd, her gaze lingering for a few moments on Tu Suxuan and Xin Lin beside him.
