The sun sets and the moon rises, and the heat gradually fades.

The third northern stronghold in the north under the night sky is like a bright jade plate on the earth. The tall buildings surrounded by spiritual energy and winding streets dotted among them, making the third northern stronghold in the north center centered on Luansu Palace seem to be shining with the bright moon in the sky.

It was midnight, and the spiritual chefs who had participated in the second grade of the eighth grade spiritual chefs had walked out of the examination room.

Among them, those who were successfully promoted would hug excitedly with their family and friends waiting outside as soon as they left the examination room. The lower-grade spiritual chefs who failed the assessment could not hide their loss and quickly left.

Shi Wu also picked up Yu Zhai's voice-transmitting jade pendant at this time. He injected spiritual power into the jade pendant and said, "Manager Yu, do you have time now?"

Yu Zhai, who was meditating in the office area of ​​the Lingchang Department, sensed a signal from the jade pendant on his waist, and he immediately injected it with spiritual power. After hearing Shi Wu's question, he replied: "Some, Senior Shi, I will take someone to the teleportation array to pick you up."

Shi Wu replied and went out of the secret room to get the Luan Su Palace token from Yang Linghuo's clone's arms.

When he flew to the teleportation area in the southeast, Liu Jie and other guards said respectfully: "See Senior Shi."

Shi Wu said casually: "You are exempt from gifts. Please ask Leader Liu to open a teleportation array to the top of the Lingchen Division for me."

"Follow me." Liu Ji led Shi Wu into the teleportation hall. After sending Shi Wu to the top floor of the Lingchen Division, Liu Ji was in his heart.

Looking forward, "Senior Shi is going to participate in the fifth-grade spiritual food department assessment."

Shi Wu did not stay at the top of the Lingchen Seal. He relied on the Luansu Palace token on his waist to continue downwards, and in a flash he appeared in the 1,900-foot area of ​​the Lingchen Seal.

Yu Zhai, who was waiting in front of the teleportation array, leaned over and bowed, "I have seen Senior Shi."

When Shi Wu saw the four people beside Yu Zhai, he guessed that they were the eyeliner of Xiao Yang Ling. He did not ask them to retreat, but said, "Everyone is free. Manager Yu, please take me to Lingguo Tuan."

Yu Zhai immediately responded, "Okay."

While walking, Shi Wu explained the three spiritual fruits he needed to Yu Zhai, and expressed that he wanted to choose them himself.

Seeing this, Yu Zhaile handed Shi Wu a brand new fruit storage box on the way.

After a group of six people arrived at the treasury, Yu Zhai took the lead in taking Shi Wu to the cabinet where the round fruit was placed. He introduced: "Senior Shi, there are millions of kilograms of the middle-level round fruit in the twelve fruits here, so you can choose it."

Shi Wu started to pick up the first fruit storage box with spiritual power silk thread. Each round fruit he selected weighed about fifty kilograms, and the number of brown stripes on the outside was twenty-six. Shi Wu attached great importance to the assessment of the fifth-grade spiritual chef this time, so when he selected the round fruit, he used the spiritual power silk thread to grasp the positions of all the nodules inside the spiritual fruit.

Shi Wu finally selected 89 Yuantuo fruits weighing 4,450 kilograms. After he finished picking them, he said to Yu Zhai: "Master Yu, where are the other two spiritual fruits?"

Yu Zhai signaled: "Senior Shi, please come with me."

The four spiritual servants following Yu Zhai looked at each other. They were Xiao Yang Lingshi, who specially sent to record the types and numbers of spiritual fruits Shi Wu bought. They looked at Shi Wu when he selected the round fruit, but what they saw was that Shi Wu only picked eighty-nine round fruits and asked Yu Zhai to take him to select the other two spiritual fruits. The four of them had already memorized the assessment rules of the fifth-grade spiritual food masters, and they couldn't help but wonder if Shi Wu would buy the spirit fruit this time just to practice.

Yu Zhai, who was leading the way in front, naturally didn't know what the four people behind him thought. He took Shi Wu through rows of cabinets to the fruit storage box that stores thorn fruits. He said: "Senior Shi, these six fruit storage boxes contain nearly 300,000 kilograms of thorn fruits of the middle level of the God Refining. When you choose, you need to be careful not to use the origin of fire, otherwise it will cause thorn fruits to fly."

"Thank you, Manager Yu, for your reminder." After Shi Wu said that, he spread out his spiritual power silk thread and entered these fruit storage boxes.

Shi Wu used the thorn fruit that he refined for the second time as a reference. The thorn fruits he selected weighed 20 kilograms and the number of fruits in each spiritual fruit was sixteen.

Shi Wu thought that the weight of the thorn fruit liquid produced in the two times was about seven kilograms, so he selected 274 thorn fruits of this type.

Yu Zhai, who was extremely eye-catching, took the initiative to go to the cabinet where Shi Wu was storing long-horned honeycombs to store all seven fruit storage boxes. He said with a smile: "Senior Shi, the long-horned honeycombs of the mid-level level of the God Refining are all here, so please choose them slowly."

Shi Wu also smiled and said, "Manager Yu is interested."

Shi Wu unceremoniously inserted his spiritual power silk into the seven fruit storage boxes. After some selection, one hundred and fifty long-horned honeydews with excellent quality were taken into his fruit storage box by Shi Wu.

When Yu Zhai and the four attendants of the Spiritual Food Seal saw that Shi Wu had finished selecting, Yu Zhai stepped forward and asked, "Senior Shi, do you still have to plant other spiritual fruits?"

"No need for now. Please ask Manager Yu to calculate how many immortal jades you need to pay for this batch of spiritual fruits in total." Shi Wu handed the fruit storage box in his hand and said.

Yu Zhai took the fruit storage box with both hands, and then he took out a jade plate from his storage bag. He carefully placed the fruit storage box on the jade plate. After injecting spiritual power into the jade plate, information related to the three kinds of spiritual fruits in the fruit storage box was projected out.

"The Yuantuo Fruit, the middle-level level of the God Refining, a total of 89 pieces, a total of 4,450 kilograms. The Thorn Fruit, the middle-level level of the God Refining, a total of 274 pieces, a total of 5,480 kilograms. The long-horned honey, a medium-level level of the God Refining, a total of 1,499 pieces, a total of 5,960 kilograms."

Seeing the four spiritual fruit attendants who were in the number of spiritual fruits, they became more and more sure of their previous guesses. They were also calculating the value of these spiritual fruits with Yu Zhai there.

After reviewing it three times, Yu Zhai asked the four servants next to him and said, "How many do you calculate?"

The attendant standing on Yu Zhai's right hand replied first: "The actual value of this batch of spiritual fruits is 1,320 immortal jades, but combined with the discounts that senior Shi can enjoy among the sixth-grade spiritual chefs, the number of immortal jades that senior Shi needs to pay in the end is 792."

After hearing the price mentioned by the attendant, the other three servants also said that they calculated the same as him.

The jade plate in Yu Zhai's hand happened to show the number "792". He told Shi Wu: "Senior Shi, they are doing well. You need to pay 792 immortal jades to buy this batch of spiritual fruits."

Shi Wu took out a brand new storage bag, then poured the storage bag containing the fairy jade inward and 792 immortal jades. He handed the brand new storage bag to Yu Zhai and said, "Try it."

When Yu Zhai saw that Shi Wu was following the rules everywhere, he checked the fairy jade in the storage bag first. After confirming that the number and quality of the batch of fairy jades were fine, Yu Zhai respectfully handed the fruit storage box in his hand to Shi Wu.

Shi Wu took the fruit storage box and bowed to Yu Zhai, saying, "I'm sorry to be troubled by the fact that I'm so late."

Yu Zhai hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Senior Shi is so polite. This is Yu's duty."

"Manager Yu, I will finally make it clear that the types, numbers and prices of the spiritual fruits I purchased." Shi Wudao.

Yu Zhai said: "No problem."

Shi Wu said goodbye: "Then I'll go back, there will be a period of time later."

"There will be a period later." Yu Zhai and the four attendants kept sending Shi Wu into the internal teleportation array in the 1,900-meter-long area.

After Shi Wu left, one of the four servants couldn't help but say, "Why did Senior Shi only buy such a little spiritual fruit? Should he participate in the middle fifth-grade spiritual food appraisal or just to practice and get familiar with it?"

Yu Zhai said in a seductive manner: "How can you guess Senior Shi's idea?"

The servant was about to say a word when he heard Yu Zhai continue, "You report our conversation to Xiao Yangling, and I can guarantee that he will say exactly the same thing as me!"

The attendant wilted immediately after hearing this.

Yu Zhai said in a slow tone when he saw this: "We are all working for Xiao Yang Ling's meal teacher. Although you are more valued, no matter how I say that I have been working in the spiritual meal department for many years before I have been in the management position. I will give you a word, being cautious in words and actions is the foundation of maintaining one's life."

The four attendants were enlightened when they heard this. They bowed to Yu Zhai and said, "Thank you, Manager Yu, for your advice."

Yu Zhai ordered: "You go and publish the spiritual fruit information purchased by Senior Shi. If an acquaintance asks you about Senior Shi's other information, you will reply without knowing it. You can also write down the names of these people. In the future, when the meal teacher Xiao Yang Ling asked, you can report it to him."

"Yes!" the four attendants said in unison.

As soon as Shi Wu passed on to Luansu Palace, he passed by Xiao Jun's side.

After receiving the news that Shi Wu went to the Lingchen Department, Xiao Jun began to arrange the examination of the 93rd examination halls from October 1st to October 5th.

After receiving his orders, Xiao Jun's subordinates continued to divide the work in an orderly manner.

Xiao Jun received the news that all the ninety-three examination halls were arranged in a while. He then put Shi Wu's jade pendant of the spiritual chef in his hand, and the words "Fire-patterned spiritual chef Shi Wu, Shi Wu, the seventh examination hall in the east on the third day of the 10th month" were quickly displayed on the jade plate.

When Shi Wu sent a message inside outside Xiao Jun's bedroom, Xiao Jun immediately walked out with the jade pendant. When he returned the jade pendant, he told Shi Wu that everything he ordered had been done.

Shi Wu hurriedly bowed to Xiao Jun thank him.

Xiao Jun knew that Shi Wu had a lot to do next. He said goodbye to Shi Wu after wishing him to pass the fifth-grade spiritual stewardship assessment successfully.

Shi Wu took off in the air and went to his bedroom. He first absorbed the Yang Spirit Fire clone in the courtyard into his body, and then threw the robe it wore and the Yin Spirit Fire clone to its storage bag.

When the spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation saw that there was an extra storage bag on the Yang Linghuo clone for no reason, it said curiously: "What is this?"

Shi Wu walked towards the secret room of the bedroom and said, "It was the Yin Linghuo clone who exchanged a viewing area token for 400,000 top-grade spirit stones and four audio and video stones that recorded my participation in the spiritual chef's assessment."

The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation said with great interest: "This kind of business without foundation is really good. If the danger is lifted, you will let all three clones go to receive the viewing area token before participating in the spiritual chef assessment."

Shi Wu sat down to the jade couch and put the four audio and video stones into the nahaisack, and the remaining top-grade spirit stones were poured into a specific storage bag. He said to himself, "Let's talk about it after passing the level of the middle-fifth-grade spirit steward first."

When the spirit body of the Heavenly Tribulation saw that Shi Wu had sorted out the items in the storage bag, he took out the original fruit storage box and put the round fruit, long-horned honey and thorn fruit left in it into the new fruit storage box. It saw that Shi Wu did not close the fruit storage box for the assessment but used spiritual power silk thread to penetrate it. It laughed and said, "Shi Wu, no matter whether you will be attacked during the fifth-grade spiritual stewardship assessment, you must let the Yin Linghuo clone record the assessment with the audio and video stone. I believe that the viewing area token and audio and video stone for this assessment will be the most expensive and rarest since you have been assessed so many times."

"I just hope that I can pass the middle fifth-grade spiritual foodie assessment as soon as possible." After Shi Wu said that, he continued to use spiritual silk thread to immerse the Yuantuo fruit in the fruit storage box. He would spend these two days memorizing every meridian of each spiritual fruit in his heart.

Late at night, news that Shi Wu went to the Lingchensi to buy spiritual fruits spread wildly.

The monks who were concerned about Shiwu's assessment contacted their friends and asked each other about where Shiwu was going to. The situation this time was different from before. Even though those monks asked about the twenty examination rooms that will be held for the fifth-grade spiritual stewardship assessment tomorrow, they still did not get any information related to Shiwu's assessment.

After they studied the number of spiritual fruits purchased by Shi Wu, two voices appeared among the monks in the third stronghold in the north. One believed that Shi Wu bought those spiritual fruits not to prepare for the fifth-grade spiritual food exam, but to become more familiar with them after finding suitable spiritual fruits. The other was proposed by the spiritual food students who supported Shi Wu. They felt that Shi Wu had reached the pinnacle of spiritual food refining spiritual foods. Even if the spiritual fruits purchased by Shi Wu were less than half of the specified weight, Shi Wu's ability would definitely be able to refine spiritual fluids that passed the assessment.

As soon as the Shadow-Devouring Gu who controlled Hu Pan's body got the news that Shi Wu purchased the Spirit Fruit, he reported it to Yinglangjun.

Shadow Lord immediately injected spiritual power into the rat-shaped object in his sleeve. He asked, "Have you sensed Shi Wu's whereabouts?"

The mouse-like object kept exploring outwards, and finally shook his head and said, "Master, no."

Yinglangjun asked Yingde Gu, who was standing beside him and manipulating Hu Pan's body, and said, "There is no news that Shi Wu appears in which examination room?"

Shadow-Devouring Gu replied: "Not yet."

Shadow Langjun frowned and said, "This is not his style."

Shadow-Devouring Gu asked for instructions: "Master, do you want me to go outside and inquire?"

After thinking about it, Yinglangjun said, "You go, I want to go out too. I always feel that his assessment of the fifth-grade spiritual steward is strange."

Shadow-Devouring Gu bowed and said, "Shadow-Devouring obeys the order!"

After Shadow Devouring Gu left, Shadow Jun teleported towards the Lingchen Seal. He was discovered by Luan Suling, so he used continuous teleportation methods to come to the teleportation array outside the Lingchen Seal.

Although it was late at night, it was more lively than anywhere in the third stronghold in the north. Whether it was ordinary monks or spiritual pedant, they were all communicating information about Shi Wu outside the spiritual pedant.

Shadow Lord walked into the crowd without any haste. The Shadow-Devouring Gu radiated from him transmitted all the information related to Shi Wu that people knew. Among them, the news about the sixth and fifth-grade spiritual chefs was the most useful. Although they did not know whether Shi Wu would participate in the assessment, they had friends around them to refer to.

After collecting a circle of news outside the Lingshen Department, Yinglangjun went to the Lingshen Pavilion everywhere. It was already early in the morning when he returned to Hu Pan's mansion.

The Shadow-Devouring Gu, who came back halfway through Mao, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. It controlled Hu Pan's body and saluted: "Master, Shadow-Devouring has found that there are twenty examination rooms to hold the fifth-grade spiritual stewardship assessment today. But so far, no assessment information related to Shiwu has been released. Please give the master the next instructions."

Shadow Lord touched the rat-shaped object in his sleeve and said, "Since I learned that Shi Wu had bought spiritual fruits in the spiritual food, I have been injecting spiritual power into the Shadow Devouring Gu in my long sleeves to explore his whereabouts. But strangely, Shi Wu's breath has never appeared."

The Shadow-Devouring Gu who controlled Hu Pan's body said: "Master, Shi Wu is not as high-profile as before. Is it because his clone has reached the limit of the spiritual liquid it can refine? In order to ensure the safety of his deity, he set up a mystery so that we cannot determine which examination room he is in. He did this as if he already knew that we would attack him."

Yinglangjun said: "It can be seen from the bet between Shi Wu and Qi Liling's genius, this boy is deeply scheming. Even if he doesn't know that we are going to kill him, he will be prepared in advance. I got a lot of information this time. Ninety-three middle-grade genius will be held between the first day of October and the fifth day of October. Among them, there are twenty games on the first day of October, eighteen on the second day of October, nineteen on the third day of October, seventeen on the fourth day of October, and nineteen on the fifth day of October. There is one characteristic of the five-day examination room arrangement, that is, there are very far apart between the examination rooms."
