Chapter 246 True or False
After Cheng Peng and his two companions succeeded, they quickly sent the Eternal Spirit Sword to the temporary base of the Dark Cuisine World in Guangzhou, where several elders were anxiously awaiting the result, including Elder Huang.

After Cheng Peng took out the Yongling Knife, Elder Huang could not hide his excitement, "Finally got it! The legendary kitchen utensil - the Yongling Knife!"

"You have done a great job. You have done an excellent job. I will definitely report this to the Great Elder and have him reward you handsomely!"

Elder Huang praised him highly.

"Thank you, Elder Huang!"

Cheng Peng and the other two thanked him repeatedly, their faces filled with joy.

"Wait a moment, Elder Huang, don't be so impatient."

At this time, another elder spoke up and said, "We have not yet confirmed whether this is the real Eternal Spirit Sword."

"Of course this is the real Eternal Spirit Sword!"

The person in charge of seizing the Eternal Spirit Sword was very unhappy about being suspected, and said anxiously: "This thing was closely guarded by the monks, and it went through several checkpoints, and was finally carefully sealed in a Buddhist temple. If this is not the Eternal Spirit Sword, what else could it be?"

"Don't get excited, I just want to be more cautious."

Elder He, who spoke, had a calm expression on his face.

Another elder said, "This kitchen knife looks very ordinary, no different from any other kitchen knife sold on the market. Who knows if you bought a kitchen knife and pretended it was the Eternal Spirit Knife to get the reward."

These words shocked Cheng Peng and the other two.

They all thought at the same time, "So there is such a trick, why didn't they think of it before?"

It's a pity that they still followed the plan to grab the knife...

wrong.

Even if you buy a fake kitchen knife, it will be exposed immediately. Not only will you not get any reward, you will also be severely punished. It's not worth it.

Elder Huang looked coldly at the other elders. These people were dissatisfied with the fact that he had taken all the credit alone. They came to help in name only, but in reality they came to share the credit or even tried to erase his credit.

For this reason, they can say anything ridiculous.

Elder Huang said, "Elder He, Elder Wei, we will know whether this kitchen knife is real or fake after we try it."

"How to try?"

"According to legend, when a chef picks up the Eternal Spirit Knife, a Tyrant Dragon pattern will appear on it. The Eternal Spirit Knife also has a magical ability that can make ingredients that have gone bad and lost their flavor return to their most delicious state. Now, let's test it."

As he spoke, Elder Huang asked his men to take out the fish meat that had already begun to smell bad and place it on the chopping board.

Then, Elder Huang reached out and picked up the Yongling Sword, waiting for the Tyrant Dragon Pattern to appear.

Although Elder Huang is old, he was also a top-notch chef when he was young, with extraordinary cooking skills. Otherwise, he would not have been absorbed into the dark cooking world and become a member of it.

However, as he got older, his strength gradually declined, and powerful figures emerged in the dark cuisine world. He no longer had a place in the dark cuisine world with just his cooking skills. Therefore, he gradually turned to internal affairs and became an elder in charge of internal affairs and logistics.

Although his strength has declined, he is still a top-grade chef after all. Currently, none of these people, including Cheng Peng and others, are top-grade chefs. Even if Cheng Peng's strength is close, he is not a real top-grade chef.

It is said that the legendary kitchen utensils will recognize the strong, so the strength of the top chef should be enough to meet the requirements of the Yongling Sword.

One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes...

After five full minutes, there was no movement of the kitchen knife in Elder Huang's hand, and it was no different from an ordinary kitchen knife.

He subconsciously swung the kitchen knife and cut off a piece of fish. The fish was still smelly, without any change.

This caused cold sweat to gradually seep out of Elder Huang's forehead.

The nonsense that Elder Wei had just said popped up in his mind uncontrollably.

impossible……

Are these three people so brave?

Dare you use an ordinary kitchen knife to pretend it is the Eternal Spirit Sword?

No, that's impossible... maybe he's not strong enough.

That's for sure!
He was too old, and he had been too lazy since becoming an elder. His strength had declined too much, so he no longer had the strength of a top-class chef. He might even be inferior to Cheng Peng at the moment. That was why he could not make the Tyrant Dragon pattern appear on the Yongling Sword.

That's for sure!
"Cheng Peng!"

Elder Huang's loud roar startled Cheng Peng and his heart skipped a beat.

During those long five minutes, the ones who suffered the most were Cheng Peng and the other three.

If they hadn't stolen the token themselves and seized the Eternal Spirit Sword themselves, they would have thought it was just an ordinary kitchen knife.

However, how could there not be the Tyrant Dragon Pattern on the Yongling Sword?

Cheng Peng hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Elder Huang, what do you want?"

"You come and hold the Eternal Spirit Sword."

Elder Huang handed the Yongling Sword to Cheng Peng.

Cheng Peng felt like he had a hot potato in his hand, and kept saying, "I... I can't..."

He tried it when he first got the Yongling Sword, but the legendary Tyrant Dragon Pattern did not appear at all.

However, after experiencing Xu Qing's repeated attacks at Yangquan Restaurant, Cheng Peng just thought it was due to his own lack of strength and did not think much about it.

However, at this moment, the authenticity of the Eternal Spirit Sword remains a mystery. If the Tyrant Dragon Pattern does not appear when Cheng Peng holds the Eternal Spirit Sword, doesn't that prove that the Eternal Spirit Sword is fake?

Elder Huang looked gloomy and asked, "Why can't you? Could it be that you really..."

Cheng Peng shouted, "No! Elder Huang, this is really the Eternal Spirit Sword! I guarantee it with my life!"

"Hey, how much is your life worth?"

Another elder laughed sarcastically.

Originally, Elder Wei had only said this casually, hoping to disgust Elder Huang and vent his dissatisfaction.

But what the elders didn’t expect was that what they predicted turned out to be right!

This is going to be interesting!

They saw that Elder Huang's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and that the Yongling Sword that was forced into Cheng Peng's hands had not changed at all, and the elders felt very relieved.

Elder He acted as a peacemaker and advised, "Forget it, Elder Huang, don't embarrass them. It's because you gave your subordinates an impossible task that forced them to resort to this desperate measure. Can you blame them? Elder Huang, you are to blame for passing off the fake as the real."

"No, this is really the Eternal Spirit Sword! Absolutely true!"

Cheng Peng and the other two shouted in succession that they would not mind even if it was with their lives, but they swore to heaven that they had a clear conscience.

But at this moment, how much are their lives and their promises worth?

What is the difference between an Eternal Spirit Sword that does not display any magical powers and an ordinary kitchen knife?
Even if they knew in their hearts that this was the real Eternal Spirit Sword, what proof could they have?
A deep sorrow and a sense of being wronged lingered in the hearts of the three men, almost bringing them to tears.

Even if his men swore and pledged an oath, Elder Huang would no longer believe them.

He casually threw the Eternal Spirit Sword to the ground and said coldly, "Don't appear in front of me again."

This statement is tantamount to sentencing the three people to death.

The other elders watched the scene happily, and had no intention of pleading for mercy for the three men.

It was good enough that these three clowns could cheer them up. As for life and death in the future, what did it have to do with them?

At this moment, a cold sneer with disdain suddenly came from the corner.

"How stupid."
