The Undying Cult's Dedicated Upper Echelons

"Lamb skewers?" Vice Master Liu frowned. They were here to the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect a bad attitude; they weren't really going to do any work.

"Hey, aren't you going to take any business when it comes to you?" Shangguan Yu Ask Dao Sect's shop really that unique—open but not doing business?

The Second Elder followed behind Shangguan Yu, looking at Vice Sect Leader Liu and his group with suspicion. He asked, "You guys look unfamiliar. I haven't seen you in the Ask Dao Sect before. You wouldn't happen to...?"

Vice Sect Leader Liu recognized Second Elder Bayan at a glance. This was a high-ranking member of the Ask Dao Sect, a powerful figure, and a peak Body Integration Realm. If he were suspected by such a person, he might easily slip up.

He put on a smiling face and told the other six people to get up and serve the customer, "The manager is out, so we've been brought in temporarily to help out. Sir, you'd like twenty skewers of lamb, right? Please wait a moment, they'll be ready soon."

As members of a demonic sect, a cruel, cold smile is an essential skill, but the ability to switch smiles at will is also an essential skill for demonic sects.

Vice Leader Liu rolled up his sleeves, tied on the white apron with black trim hanging on the wall, and took out twenty-five skewers of lamb from the basin. "You're our first customer today, so here are five extra skewers for you."

A few flies, attracted by the smell of meat, flew over, but were chased away by Vice Leader Liu.

The second elder still had some doubts. "Your shop doesn't seem very clean..."

Vice Leader Liu quickly said, "Old Gao, bring out the formation!"

Vice Leader Gao took out a set of formations from his storage ring and spread them on the ground. The flies immediately fled the barbecue restaurant.

Those who come to the Ask Dao Sect to open shops are not ordinary people; their use of storage rings and formations will not arouse suspicion.

Vice Leader Liu explained with a smile, "We absolutely guarantee cleanliness; this is an insect-repelling formation we brought from outside."

Vice Leader Liu is always meticulous in his work.

He flipped and shook the lamb skewers with one hand, while rubbing them with his fingertips with the other. The barbecue seasoning dripped down onto the skewers, and the aroma of the lamb, amplified by the charcoal fire, was simply irresistible.

Vice Leader Liu's skill level was in no way inferior to Lu Yang's.

The seven of them specifically sought out the best barbecue master in the area and studied diligently for three days, all for this very moment!

Do you eat spicy food?

Shangguan Yu thought for a moment. She wasn't someone who could handle spicy food very well, but she felt something was missing if she didn't eat spicy food. "Mild spicy, please."

"Alright!" Vice Leader Liu called out as he grilled the skewers.

"Take a look! Fresh, tender lamb from the grasslands, slaughtered on the spot. It's got meat and tendons, the meat is fragrant and the tendons are springy, the aftertaste is unforgettable!"

This is what the barbecue master from the mortals shouted when they were learning from them. He also told them that the louder they shouted, the more customers they would attract.

Perhaps having heard the mortal barbecue master shout it so often, Vice Leader Liu was moved by the scene and shouted it out as well.

It worked as expected, and disciples of the Ask Dao Sect gradually gathered around.

"Here you are, your skewers are ready." Vice Leader Liu handed the lamb skewers to Shangguan Yu.

"How much?"

Vice Leader Liu had no idea how much it cost. He glanced at the price list hanging on the wall and was shocked.

Are prices really that high at the Ask Dao Sect?

What Vice Leader Liu didn't know was that prices at the Ask Dao Sect were usually not expensive, but the price increase was temporary due to an event.

Shangguan Yu parted her lips slightly, took a bite, and the aroma of the meat filled the air. It was so juicy that she couldn't tell if it was saliva or juice.

"Delicious, delicious! Fifty more skewers, please! And two more roasted pig's trotters, too!"

The greatest advantage of cultivators eating is that they never feel full, no matter how much they eat. They can eat as much as they want and enjoy the feast to their heart's content.

Of course, this characteristic did not have the opportunity to be displayed at the banquet prepared by the Immortal Fairy.

Seeing Shangguan Yu eat like that, everyone around him drooled and followed suit, clamoring to have some skewers too.

Vice Leader Gao called out from inside, "There's room inside, there's room! Everyone, please don't crowd outside, you can come in and order!"

The five elders and guest advisors busied themselves greeting the guests.

On the martial arts training ground, the first match of the Golden Core group had finished, and there was still time before the second match began. Many disciples chose to eat while watching the battle, including those from the Ask Dao Sect and the Five Elements Sect.

They noticed that one barbecue restaurant was unusually popular, with business booming.

"Go and take a look."

More and more disciples came to eat skewers, and Vice Master Liu felt a surge of confidence.

"I said before, so what if Lu Yang and his two friends run a barbecue restaurant in Yanjiang County? That's because I haven't made a move yet. If I had, what would Lu Yang have to do with it?"

"Old Gao, we have too many orders, I can't handle them all. Why don't you set up a stall too!"

"Good!"

Surprisingly, Vice Leader Gao's barbecue skills were in no way inferior to Vice Leader Liu's!

On the stands, Lu Yang brought some grilled skewers to his senior sister, only to be met with a surprised look from Qiu Jin'an.

Why did Sect Master Lu end up selling barbecue skewers?

How much time has passed? What happened in that time?

Qiu Jinan couldn't understand it.

"How are the preparations going?"

"There are only seven customers left in the shop. According to the plan, a disciple will go to order food, so there shouldn't be any surprises."

"Okay, go back now."

When Lu Yang returned, he glanced at the martial arts arena. The second match had already begun, and representing the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect was Senior Sister Yi Jing, who had also been challenged by the Immortal Fairy despite being of a higher level.

Lu Yang noticed the senior students watching from below the stage, holding many skewers, which surprised him. Even Bai Ming, who had just lost, was grabbing a handful and eating with relish.

What's going on?

When Lu Yang returned, Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu had already gone back to the barbecue restaurant, busy helping the two vice leaders.

Those who secretly arranged to buy skewers couldn't even get into the queue. When they saw Lu Yang, they spread their hands, looking quite helpless.

The second elder was eating skewers by the roadside, his mouth dripping with oil. When he saw Lu Yang, he greeted him, "Where did you find someone like this? His skewer-grilling skills are top-notch!"

Shangguan Yu, who was standing nearby, also expressed his intention to the Ask Dao Sect more often.

Lu Yang: "..."

"Make way, make way!" Lu Yang called out, wanting to go in and see what was going on.

The person who was jostled frowned. "What are you pushing for? Don't you know how to line up?!"

"I'm a shop assistant!"

The person who was jostled saw Lu Yang, their lips twitched, and they made way for him.

He suddenly remembered his master's warning that the Demonic Cult might infiltrate the exchange, and Lu Yang planned to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Are the people working at this barbecue restaurant some kind of evil cult?

He stared at the two vice leaders grilling skewers for a long time, then realized he was probably mistaken.

The elders of the Ask Dao Sect had already informed everyone, saying that if Lu Yang appeared in places where he shouldn't be, don't panic, just pretend you don't know him.

When Vice Leader Liu saw Lu Yang return, he was overjoyed. "Little Lu is back, perfect! Go and maintain order, make sure everyone lines up properly."

Lu Yang: "..."

Do you even know why you're here?

Lu Yang's original intention was to find a few customers to keep them occupied, but he didn't expect that it would actually make the barbecue restaurant a great success.

Lu Yang noticed the genuine smile on the face of the busy Man Gu, and the expression on Meng Jingzhou's face as if he were reliving Yanjiang County. He was at a loss for words to utter.

The Immortal Fairy nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of my follower, your ability to be self-reliant is quite good, it's just that the quality of your grilled skewers needs improvement."

"Lu Yang, let me control my body. I'll show you what a celestial-level barbecue looks like. You should all learn from me."

The Immortal Fairy got excited and, disregarding the rule that "the secrets should not be easily passed on," insisted on showing off her skills.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was so frightened that he quickly stopped the Immortal Fairy.

"Please don't make things worse!"
