"Next one."
The voice of a recruiter came from the simple pavilion.
Walking to the table, Xia Liang smiled politely at the two recruiters, "My Lords. I would like to apply for the position of chef in the college kitchen."
Hearing this, one of the recruiters stroked his mustache, looked Xia Liang up and down for a while, and then asked, "Applicants for the chef position must have a spirit that is some kind of cooking utensil. What kind of cooking utensil is your spirit?"
"My martial soul is a skeleton, but I can turn bones into cooking utensils."
As he spoke, Xia Liang raised his right palm, and countless tiny black and purple bones formed the shape of a kitchen knife in his palm.
Then, the second soul skill, Iron Bone, wrapped around the black and purple iron wire, turning it into a true black and purple iron kitchen knife.
Seeing this scene, the two recruiters looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
The recruiter on the left thought for a moment before shaking his head, "No, no. The head chef specifically wants a cooking utensil-type martial spirit. You can't do that. Let's go."
"My iron bone turned kitchen knife can really be used as a cooking utensil. In addition, I worked as a chef in the mercenary group for three years. I have a lot of experience in processing soul beast meat, and my cooking skills are guaranteed to satisfy your chef. I hope you two adults will be flexible."
When he finished saying the last word, the kitchen knife in Xia Liang's hand had disappeared, replaced by two palm-sized bags.
The bags were placed in front of the two recruiters.
Suddenly, the two recruiters stared in amazement. There was a golden light flashing in the two bags. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were full of gold soul coins.
"This..." The two recruiters looked at Xia Liang with strange eyes.
Xia Liang pushed the two bags of gold soul coins closer to the two recruiters.
The two recruiters were both ordinary people. They were tempted when they saw the gold soul coins in the bag. When they saw that there were no less than twenty gold soul coins in the bag, they both swallowed their saliva.
Twenty gold soul coins are equivalent to more than a year's expenses for an average family.
Xia Liang stared at the two recruiters harmlessly, "Sir, two specialties are not a big deal, can you make an exception?"
One of the recruiters straightened his posture and said seriously, "The chefs in the academy are specialized in cooking for soul master students. Since you have experience in handling soul beast meat, and your martial soul can be used as a cooking utensil, we will make an exception and hire you. However, you will need to be inspected by the head chef. If you fail to meet the requirements and are fired, don't blame us for not reminding you."
"Understood." Xia Liang replied, "I will bear all the consequences myself."
"Then you sit aside for a while. After the recruitment is over, I will take you to report to the chef." After saying that, the recruiter casually put a large bag of gold soul coins on the table into his clothes.
The same was true for another recruiter, and both of them became much more friendly towards Xia Liang.
Because the simple pavilion was located on the stairs, the people waiting in line to apply for the jobs could not see that the two recruiters accepted Xia Liang's benefits.
Xia Liang followed the recruiter's instructions and sat aside to wait.
It was not until noon that he was led by the recruiter to the kitchen of Tiandou Royal Academy.
The head chef in charge of the kitchen is a level 55 food-type soul king, and his martial soul is chicken legs.
Seeing that Xia Liang's bone martial soul could be transformed into a kitchen knife or even any kind of cooking utensil, and that he was proficient in making various dishes and processing soul beast meat, he was hired as an exception.
In this way, Xia Liang began his life at Tiandou Royal Academy as a chef.
A week later.
Tiandou Royal Academy, cafeteria.
Different from the cafeteria of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, with its royal title, Tiandou Royal Academy not only possesses the most luxurious and abundant mimicry training resources, but also has the most luxurious high-end restaurant configuration in its cafeteria.
Whether in the private rooms in the cafeteria or in the lobby on each floor, there are almost always students or teachers discussing the meals of the past few days.
These dishes are never seen before. Not only are they novel and delicious, but they also bring out the energy and flavor contained in the soul beast meat, making it fragrant and not greasy.
Xue Beng, a student of Tiandou Royal Academy, is a prince of the empire. He only likes to eat dishes made by the royal chef.
But after eating a new dish called scrambled eggs with red fruits, he completely fell in love with the food in the college.
Other dishes that have never been heard of, such as crispy roast duck and chopped pepper fish head, also received unanimous praise from students and teachers in the college.
Even the three major teaching committees of the college and Prince Xuexing spoke highly of the new dishes recently produced by the kitchen.
The kitchen was very popular in the college, and the head chef in charge gained a lot of benefits. Only then did he realize how high Xia Liang's attainments in cooking were.
On the second floor of the cafeteria, in a luxurious box.
A slightly plump middle-aged man dressed in chef's clothes was sitting on the sofa smoking a pipe.
Xia Liang pushed the door open and walked in, then he bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Chef. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"Ah liang, you should have heard that the number of students eating in the cafeteria has increased recently. The cafeteria's income is growing at a visible rate. Even Prince Xuexing and the three major education committee members praised your cooking. I didn't expect that the kitchen would have such a hot business one day. You have made an indelible contribution."
After listening to the chef's story, Xia Liang smiled modestly, "No, it was the chef who agreed to let me be the chef. That's why I have the opportunity to show my talents. Thank you for your trust."
"Yes. I'm very curious. Since you are still so young and a second-ring great spirit master, why don't you practice like other spirit masters, but are willing to be buried in the kitchen?"
The chef got straight to the point and said, "Also, your martial spirit is not related to food, nor is it a real cooker. Where did you learn this cooking skill? I called you here this time just to get some information. By the way, can I sell your cooking recipes?"
"Chef, I grew up in a village that's good at cooking. When I was six, I worked part-time in a restaurant for two years. After that, I joined a mercenary group and worked as a chef for three years. That's why I have these cooking skills. As for the cooking recipes, of course I sell them here."
As he spoke, Xia Liang took out ten pieces of white paper from his silver bracelet.
Every piece of white paper was covered with dense black words.
After taking the ten sheets of white paper and taking a quick glance at them, the chef frowned slightly. "I have never seen the seasonings in these recipes. It turns out that the method of making Nine-Turn Large Intestine is so particular. No wonder I can't make the same taste no matter how hard I try. These recipes are treasures for chefs."
"Yes. These recipes are rare dishes passed down from my ancestors. Until my generation, these are the only ones left. I work as a chef in a restaurant with these recipes and earn money to buy various cultivation resources. That's why I have the opportunity to cultivate and become a second-ring great soul master."
At this point, Xia Liang thought again and again before telling the truth, "I entered Tiandou Royal College as a chef, actually to fight for the college's mimicry training resources. Chef, can you apply to the three education committee members on my behalf so that I have the qualifications to enter the college's mimicry field for training?"
Hearing this, the chef suddenly realized, "So, all along, you have been using the profession of chef as a stepping stone to become a soul master?"
Xia Liang nodded firmly, "Yes, as a soul master, I really want to improve."
After considering for a moment, the chef placed his pipe and ten recipes on the table, stood up from the sofa, walked to Xia Liang and looked at him.
Xia Liang looked back at the chef's gaze, his eyes filled with determination.
"Okay. You've been doing me a lot of good in the kitchen these days. It's only a matter of time to apply to the three education committee members. I promise you. I'll apply to the three education committee members tomorrow. As for whether they agree to let you enter the academy's mimicry field for training, I have no right to interfere."
