The Cult Master and Ask Dao Sect's Yun Zhi Were Equals in Cultivation
The petrified bone was greatly shocked, and even Huo Spirit Transformation, who had been silently pretending to be a master, could no longer keep up the act.
The barbecue restaurant's business is obvious to everyone; demand exceeds supply, and it's faster than robbery.
There was a queue outside the store until closing time, which shows how popular it was.
As a powerful cultivator in the Body Integration Realm, Petrified Bone Body had tasted all kinds of delicacies. He had eaten foods far more delicious than barbecue skewers, the ingredients of which were priceless and even Spirit Stone might not be enough to afford them.
Unlike this barbecue restaurant, where you can buy ingredients at the local market.
The ingredients are ordinary, yet they can be sold at exorbitant prices, resulting in substantial profits.
The profits of a barbecue restaurant wouldn't be enough to motivate cultivators in the Spirit Transformation and Body Integration Realm.
What if we opened barbecue restaurants all over the Central Continent?
The profits would be enormous; anyone would be tempted.
Of course, there's also the most crucial point: he's burdened with a billion-dollar debt, and if he doesn't repay it, he'll be struck by lightning every month.
This is exactly when I need the money!
Fortunately, Petrified Bone was mature and composed, and did not show excessive excitement. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Your sect's barbecue restaurant is naturally very successful. My Nine Nether Sect also has businesses, but compared with this restaurant, it is still far inferior."
Whether it's smuggling or running a zoo, nothing compares to the exorbitant profits of a barbecue restaurant—it's dozens of times more profitable.
Most importantly, their business is legitimate and they're not afraid of being investigated, unlike the Nine Nether Sect, which basically has no legitimate businesses; the only thing they're even remotely related to is the funeral industry.
The funeral industry is also dangerous. A high-ranking member of the Nine Nether Sect, who was skilled in refining corpses, had a sudden inspiration to dig up the bodies buried by his clients and refine them.
Later, somehow, the customers found out and immediately reported them.
Fortunately, the Nine Nether Sect acted decisively, pushing this fool out and severing all ties between him and the Nine Nether Sect.
"I just don't know how you can promote it throughout the entire mainland? I've eaten a lot of barbecue, but none of it compares to what I had today. I suppose your sect has unique barbecue techniques and recipes, as well as, most importantly, Secret Method for enhancing male virility. Can these really be promoted?"
Master Shi has a keen eye; after a little thought, he pointed out the difficulty of promoting it nationwide.
Lu Yang chuckled, "Our barbecue recipe comes from High Antiquity, so it's normal that Master Shi hasn't tried it before."
"Please come with me."
Lu Yang got up and led the petrified bone to the backyard, where he showed him the automatic barbecue grill and the automatic skewer formation, leaving the petrified bone in Celestial Person.
As expected of the young leader of the Heavenly Court Sect, he is so well prepared.
"The automatic barbecue grill was crafted by Protector Duobao, as for the automatic skewer formation..." Lu Yang revealed a meaningful smile.
"Where did this automatic interlocking formation come from?"
"This formation was crafted by several Nascent Body Integration Realm demon envoys under the command of our sect leader," Lu Yang revealed, shocking Petrified Bone.
The pupils constrict slightly in the petrified bone.
This is Body Integration Realm Changgui, the one with the highest cultivation level among known Changgui.
Only by being one level higher can one refine the cougar.
This means that the "leader" Lu Yang mentioned is a powerful expert in the Tribulation Transcendence stage!
The Heavenly Court Sect truly has Tribulation Transcendence period!
"May I ask who your sect's leader is...?"
Lu Yang did not answer directly, but instead said with a smile, "I wonder if Sect Leader Shi has ever heard of Yun Zhi of the Ask Dao Sect?"
Petrified Bone secretly gathered a lot of information about the Five Great Immortal Sects, including Yun Zhi, who was able to overpower the sect leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
According to his speculation, Yun Zhi of the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect has already cultivated to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Reaching such a level at such a young age is a major obstacle in the struggle for the opportunity to become a fortuitous opportunity during the Great Ages, and is quite troublesome!
"Our sect leader once fought with Yun Zhi of the Ask Dao Sect, and their cultivation levels were evenly matched."
"What?!"
Petrified Bone's eyes widened in shock; this Heavenly Court Sect leader truly possessed cultivation that rivaled the pinnacle of creation.
Perhaps only someone with this level of cultivation is qualified to be the leader of the Heavenly Court Sect.
Petrified Bone had initially thought that the Heavenly Court Sect had many slumbering members and was much weaker than before, but today's encounter completely overturned his previous assumptions.
Perhaps the Heavenly Court Sect is not as powerful as the High Antiquity Heavenly Court, but it is still stronger than their Nine Nether Sect.
Choosing to contact the Heavenly Court Sect was truly a wise decision!
"And this fire is a brand new true fire developed by our sect. It not only enhances the flavor of the grilled skewers but also has aphrodisiac effects!"
Lu Yang held up a flame, which was a combination of Samadhi True Fire and Pure Yang True Fire.
The petrified bone carefully observed the flame with its Divine Sense and discovered that it was indeed a completely new true fire, not among the 108 kinds of true fire. It had the shadow of Samadhi True Fire and Pure Yang True Fire, but it was only a shadow.
Pure Yang Fire does not have any aphrodisiac effects.
It seems that the Heavenly Court Sect, though seemingly quiet and inactive, has actually been secretly laying out its plans, just waiting for its pieces to fall!
Otherwise, why would they specifically develop a real fire for grilling?
"Young Master, these things shouldn't be shown to outsiders. They were originally part of our Heavenly Court Sect's expansion methods and intelligence network!" The Fifth Elder frowned and advised.
Lu Yang disliked the Fifth Elder's remarks and retorted, "It's alright. In High Antiquity times, the Heavenly Court and the Nine Netherworlds had a close relationship. Now that we've seen the Nine Netherworlds Sect, it's only natural to help them regain their High Antiquity glory. Even if the sect leader and my master knew about this, they wouldn't blame me."
"Besides, the Heavenly Court has very few followers. Even if they all came out, how many barbecue restaurants could they open?"
The Fifth Elder remained silent. Since the Young Master was willing to take full responsibility, he, as a protector of the Heavenly Court, could say nothing more.
Petrified Bone was deeply moved, never expecting that their Nine Nether Sect would have such a wealthy relative.
This young leader is of noble character; he risked being reprimanded by the main leader and Dou Tianzun to help their Nine Nether Sect.
Lu Yang turned his head, a smile appearing on his face as if he hadn't had a conflict with the Fifth Elder, and said, "Sect Leader Shi, you heard it too. Although I am a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable, I still cannot make complete decisions on certain matters. However, this does not affect our cooperation."
"I can provide your sect with the method for preparing the barbecue seasoning and the method for arranging the automatic skewer array free of charge."
With a quick scan of his Divine Sense, Lu Yang could understand most of the principles behind the barbecue seasoning and the automatic skewer formation. There was no need for Lu Yang to hide anything; he might as well do a favor and send it directly to the Nine Nether Sect.
"I can provide your sect with these automatic barbecue grills and tinder on a regular and quantitative basis, but our Heavenly Court Sect needs 60% of the profits."
The automatic barbecue grill was protected by a restriction imposed by the Fifth Elder, which cannot be broken.
The spark must be ignited by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
Since opening a barbecue restaurant was initiated by the Heavenly Court, the profits would definitely take the lion's share, so the petrified bones are understandable.
However, considering his position, he couldn't directly accept Lu Yang's suggestion. "You get four, I get six!"
"Our Heavenly Court Sect accounts for 60%," Lu Yang said calmly.
"Splitting the profits 50/50!"
"Our Heavenly Court sect accounts for 60%."
Lu Yang remained adamant, giving the petrified bone no room for discussion.
Knowing he had no advantage in this area, Petrified Bone gritted his teeth, stopped discussing, and accepted Lu Yang's proposed profit-sharing method.
The two discussed some details and quickly finalized the contract.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Lu Yang shook hands with a smile.
