The Barbecue Shop Reopens

After Lu Yang woke up, Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan woke up one after the other. The father and daughter looked around, not understanding what was going on.

"Are they all awake?" The Fifth Elder sat on the bench, looking completely nonchalant.

Qin Yanyan recalled the scene before she fainted: the Fifth Elder waved his sleeve, and everything went black before their eyes. When they came to their senses, they were already here.

It's exactly like the legendary "hidden universe in the sleeve".

"I understand now, you just used the 'Hidden Universe in the Sleeve' technique, right?" Qin Yanyan said excitedly, never expecting to personally experience such a legendary supernatural Divine Ability.

As expected of an elder of the Ask Dao Sect!

The Fifth Elder gave a calm smile, everything understood without saying a word.

Li Haoran looked thoughtful; he had never heard of his master possessing the ability to conceal his power within his sleeve.

Meng Jingzhou, who had been observing the whole thing, raised an eyebrow; he was the only one of the four who hadn't fainted.

After knocking Lu Yang and the other two unconscious, the Fifth Elder explained to himself that he was worried that they were afraid of heights and had no flying experience. He said that if he jumped down with them directly, they might not be able to adapt, so it would be easier to knock them unconscious and take them away.

Then the Fifth Elder took out three burlap sacks and put them over the three people, his movements so practiced that it was hard to tell how many times he had done it before.

"Is this the barbecue restaurant you mentioned, 'Come Again'?" The Fifth Elder had done his homework before setting off, asking Dai Bufan for Lu Yang and the others' mission report, and learned about what had happened in Yanjiang County.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at the familiar furnishings, their expressions turning nostalgic.

Time flies, the world changes, things are no longer the same, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Immortal Cult has been destroyed, but I never thought I could return here.

The Fifth Elder wiped the table, revealing a thick layer of dust. "Three months have passed; it's time for a cleanup."

Just as Lu Yang and the other three juniors were about to make their move, the Fifth Elder waved his hand and said, "No need for such trouble."

His lips trembled slightly as he chanted an incantation that no one could hear, and casually cast a mark.

The mark landed on the ground, and the space seemed to tremble, rippling out invisible waves, one after another.

The dust on the tables, chairs, and floor rippled with the fluctuations of the space, peeling off the objects it clung to and spreading outwards.

Even the dust on Lu Yang and his companions trembled slightly as they moved away from each other.

After the dust, oil, and other filth had all spread to the corner of the wall, a suction force appeared in the Fifth Elder's palm, causing the filth to contract inward and form a vortex.

Finally, the filth shrunk into a sphere, Fifth Elder clenched his fist, causing the spherical filth to vanish without a trace.

The entire barbecue restaurant has a completely new feel to it; everything seems brand new.

"This is a purification spell, often used for cleaning. You can practice these useful little Law Technique during your spare time," the Fifth Elder explained.

"If you don't like anyone, you can use the Cleansing Spell to gather the filth into a ball and throw it at them."

This was the Fifth Elder's original intention in learning the Purification Mantra.

"Reopening!"

Lu Yang took out various seasonings, skewers, an automatic skewering array, a barbecue grill, and other items from his identity jade token. These were things that barbecue restaurants usually have, and he hadn't taken them with him when he left.

"This automatic stringing formation is quite interesting, very creative." The Fifth Elder glanced at the formation and deduced its function.

Lu Yang thought to himself that this was the latest achievement of the Immortal Cult's higher-ups, a culmination of the wisdom of four Body Integration Realm.

The Fifth Elder asked, "Do you have any formations or Law Treasure for automatically grilling skewers?"

Lu Yang shook his head; he hadn't designed it yet.

"Okay, I'll design it. But I've never grilled skewers before, so I don't have much experience. I need to practice for a couple of days first, so I'll know how to design an automatic skewer grilling Law Treasure."

The Fifth Elder's favorite thing to do was to forge Law Treasure that had never appeared before.

Lu Yang was overjoyed. He had been wondering whether he should catch a couple of cougars, but now it seemed he wouldn't need them.

Lu Yang mixed the seasonings in a certain proportion and quickly made a jar of reddish-brown barbarian-style barbecue sauce.

"I'll go out and buy some raw materials first," Lu Yang said, letting the Fifth Elder try it out first.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Lu Yang pushed open the door, drawing surprised glances from pedestrians on the street.

"Manager Lu!"

"What? This is Manager Lu?"

"Is the barbecue restaurant opening soon?"

"I heard that Manager Lu went out to start his own business. Did he come back to run the barbecue restaurant after failing?"

"Didn't they say Manager Lu went home to inherit the family business? Why is he back?"

"There's such a saying?"

"Haven't you heard? Manager Lu got separated from his parents when he was a child. The barbecue recipe at this barbecue restaurant is a childhood memory for Manager Lu. A great man came here to eat barbecue skewers, and after eating them, he burst into tears, saying that only his family could make this kind of flavor. He asked who made it, and then father and son recognized each other, and the barbecue restaurant closed down."

"I heard that Manager Lu has a very wealthy fiancée, and that he was taken away by her?"

Passersby were talking about it. The barbecue restaurant was the most popular shop in Yanjiang County, and people in the surrounding counties had heard of it.

Unfortunately, the barbecue restaurant closed down after the Spring Festival, and people missed it terribly.

People have made various speculations about Lu Yang's departure.

As for the death of the prefect at that time, no one would associate it with a barbecue restaurant, let alone a barbecue restaurant covered with banners.

"Manager Lu, is the barbecue restaurant still open?"

"Yeah, it just doesn't feel like something's missing if we don't have your grilled skewers for dinner!"

Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Lu Yang raised his hand and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. We've come back to continue running our barbecue restaurant. Please rest assured, our initial plan is to open it tomorrow!"

"Great!"

After Lu Yang finally broke through the crowd, he was surrounded again in the market. By the time he got back to the barbecue restaurant, he was panting heavily and felt that going out was more tiring than fighting a battle.

"I'm back!"

Lu Yang threw the meat and vegetables onto the automatic skewering array. The array automatically cut the meat and vegetables into small pieces, and the wooden skewers floated to skewer them. The process was quite smooth.

The Fifth Elder carried the skewered meat to the barbecue grill, turned around and asked, "Do you have a special flame for barbecuing?"

The Fifth Elder, as a grandmaster of weapon crafting, possessed seven kinds of true fire, but they were all fierce flames. They were suitable for crafting weapons, but not for roasting.

"I have the Three True Fires!" Lu Yang volunteered, saying his True Fires were perfect for grilling.

"I also have real fire," Meng Jingzhou said, a blazing flame rising from his palm.

"Pure Yang True Fire?" The Fifth Elder recognized the origin of the flame in Meng Jingzhou's palm. Every single person with Spirit Root who condenses a single Golden Core will automatically master this true fire.

"But your flames aren't as effective as Lu Yang's Samadhi Fire, are they?"

Meng Jingzhou revealed a confident smile, "No, my Pure Yang True Fire is a product of dual single Spirit Root, and it has effects that the previous Pure Yang True Fire did not have."

The Fifth Elder asked curiously, "What is it?"

"It can enhance male virility."

"Ingredients cooked with pure yang fire can all enhance male virility!"
