Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 594 - Not Up to Standard
Shen Feng's way of handling things has always been to treat others with tenfold respect if they show him the slightest courtesy!
Yet, is it really necessary to be so proud over being merely a First Grade Spirit Chef? Would it kill to be a little humble?
Furthermore, this Black-scaled Demon Bull meat contained toxins—was it possible that Hu Fangmei did it on purpose?
After all, the Hundred Flower Sect had some connection with Zuo Miaoyin. Now that Shen Feng had encountered this issue, how could he stand by and do nothing!
The suddenness of his action brought complete silence to the Guest Reception Hall.
Rage seemed to overflow from Hu Fangmei's face. As a First Grade Spirit Chef just one step away from reaching the Second Grade, she wouldn't have agreed to become a mere Guest Elder for the small Hundred Flower Sect if not for Jiang Zhuyu's sake.
The might of the Nascent Variation Late Stage burst forth from her, her eyes brimming with an endless chill as she roared, "Boy, don't spout nonsense! Do you understand that disaster can befall through careless talk?"

Then, she turned her gaze to Jiang Zhuyu and Gao Huiying, saying, "Sect Master Jiang, did I come to your Hundred Flower Sect to be a Guest Elder only to harm your disciples?"
"You've really put the blame on me well. There are many Sects stronger than your Hundred Flower Sect in the Lower Realm that have invited me, offering much better conditions. If it wasn't for that little bit of kindness you showed me back then, Sect Master Jiang, I wouldn't have chosen your Hundred Flower Sect. If I don't get a proper explanation today, I will leave the Hundred Flower Sect immediately."
"From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Hundred Flower Sect!"
Upon hearing this.
Not just Jiang Zhuyu and Gao Huiying, but all the Elders and disciples present changed their expressions drastically. Some of them had eaten the Monster Beasts meat cooked by Hu Fangmei, which had significantly increased their cultivation.
Besides, they consumed it once every two months.
To a Cultivator, two months was no different from the blink of an eye, and having a Spirit Chef in the Sect was a major boon! Moreover, Hu Fangmei had been on the cusp of breaking into the Second Grade of Spirit Chefs and was likely to make a breakthrough in the coming years.
In the Lower Realm, a Second Grade Spirit Chef was indeed extraordinary.
Gao Huiying now somewhat regretted allowing this mysterious young man to pretend to be Xue Wanyue's fiancé.
Looking to Jiang Zhuyu by her side, she said, "Zhuyu, you handle this matter."
Although she was the Supreme Elder of the Hundred Flower Sect, Jiang Zhuyu had a closer relationship with Hu Fangmei, so it was most appropriate for her to address the issue.
Jiang Zhuyu looked at the furious Hu Fangmei and apologized, "Elder Hu, please don't be angry. Today's events must be a misunderstanding."
Then, turning to Shen Feng, and seeing the piece of Black-scaled Demon Bull meat on the ground, she too felt a surge of anger well up, but forcibly suppressed it, saying, "Do you realize what you are doing?"
"This is the flesh of the Black-scaled Demon Bull, a Monster Beast that disappeared from the Immortal Realm tens of thousands of years ago."
"Several years ago, we discovered that this Monster Beast mysteriously appeared in the mountains behind the Hundred Flower Sect."
"Under Elder Hu's cooking, this meat is very suitable for Cultivators to absorb, and even stronger than that of other Monster Beasts of the same level."
"You are the one who is wrong here, why don't you apologize to Elder Hu?"
Upon hearing Jiang Zhuyu's words, Shen Feng was slightly taken aback. Indeed, the Black-scaled Demon Bull had long since vanished from the Immortal Realm.
And the ancient texts barely mentioned the Black-scaled Demon Bull; if not for inheriting the culinary legacy of that great being, Shen Feng might only have known about the mere existence of such a Monster Beast.
That great being's culinary inheritance included techniques for cooking various Monster Beasts, naturally not excluding the Black-scaled Demon Bull.
This Black-scaled Demon Bull's body contains toxins, and if one is not careful, its poison can completely permeate into the meat.
The beef that was just placed before Shen Feng was contaminated with the toxin that is colorless and tasteless, which even cultivators at the Sea Transformation Stage can't detect.
However, the toxins that permeate into the meat aren't very strong. Anyone who has reached the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation can neutralize the toxins in their body gradually through cultivation.
As for those below the Nascent Soul Stage, the toxin will affect their cultivation foundation without their awareness and when it bursts forth after reaching a certain level, the ones who consumed it will utterly become invalids.
It seems now that Hu Fangmei didn't do it on purpose, simply her level as a Spirit Chef is limited, and she couldn't detect the toxins on the Black-scaled Demon Bull.
Shen Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, my behavior just now was somewhat improper."
Seeing Shen Feng showing signs of conceding, Jiang Zhuyu felt relieved. After all, this man had seen her body, and he had also helped her escape the danger of becoming possessed, so she inevitably had a special feeling towards Shen Feng.
Hu Fangmei clearly didn't accept the explanation, shouting, "Boy, do you know how difficult it is to eat the food I cook outside? Yet you wasted the food I cooked. This is contempt for me and for the entire world of Spirit Chefs, I cannot forgive your behavior."
"You think you can get away with merely admitting your mistake? Today, for Sect Master Jiang's sake, I can let things go, but you must sever both of your arms and then disappear from the Hundred Flower Sect immediately."
After saying that,
she looked towards Jiang Zhuyu and asked, "Sect Master Jiang, do you have any opinions on my decision?"
Jiang Zhuyu couldn't help but frown slightly.
Shen Feng, however, was very calm as he said, "Have I admitted any wrongdoing?"
"I thought at first that you deliberately allowed the toxin to spread within the demon bull's meat. Now I know it's because your level as a Spirit Chef is not sufficient, which led to this outcome. That is the inappropriate behavior I was referencing."
"You want me to sever my own arms? Your lack of proficiency as a Spirit Chef has become your basis for arrogance?"
Meat from the Black-scaled Demon Bull was poisonous?
The expressions on Gao Huiying and the others' faces turned even uglier. They had eaten the beef cooked by Hu Fangmei more than once and had never felt anything amiss.
Even when Gao Huiying consumed this beef, there would be a slight increase in her aura.
As a mighty cultivator at the Sea Transformation Stage, was she unable to even detect whether the flesh and blood of the Black-scaled Demon Bull were poisonous? She thought Shen Feng was speaking nonsense.
The Elders and Disciples present all stared coldly at Shen Feng. They had been acquainted with Hu Fangmei for some time, and they admired her Spirit Chef skills. So to them, this young man was just boasting. Did he even understand what being a Spirit Chef entails? His audacity to claim that Hu Fangmei's skills were insufficient was utterly ridiculous.
Jiang Zhuyu was deeply disappointed and couldn't help but sigh heavily. Among everyone present, she was the most familiar with Hu Fangmei and her Spirit Chef abilities, and she certainly did not feel anything wrong with the demon bull's meat either.
Xue Wanyue disliked those who bragged. Originally, since Shen Feng had been detected to have a terrifying nature, and his speed was extraordinary, her curiosity about this man had been growing. But now it seemed that Shen Feng was just a little talented but too full of himself.
"Hahaha——"
Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, Hu Fangmei laughed in rage, "So by that, you're saying your Spirit Chef level is higher than mine?"
"Good, very good!"
"Today, if you can prove that there is poison in the meat of the Black-scaled Demon Bull, I, Hu Fangmei, am willing to sever my own arms and immediately kneel before you to apologize and kowtow!"
