The Barbecue Shop's Branches Have Made It All the Way Here?

Lu Yang couldn't help but recall the excitement he felt when he first became an apprentice.

At that time, I knew nothing about the cultivation world. When I learned that I had Sword Spirit Root and could become the disciple of the sect Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

Later, as time went by and I learned more and more about the Ask Dao Sect, I realized that my own master was a huge pitfall.

Not only did he not cultivate diligently and was confined by his senior sister, but he also made enemies everywhere.

Lu Yang had heard that officials in the capital city had a tradition of forming cliques, and he assumed that, like in his previous life, it was based on hometown divisions, that is, forming private factions based on one's hometown.

As it turned out, Meng Jingzhou told him that the distinction was based on whether or not one had a grudge against the Silent Daoist.

Lu Yang couldn't imagine how powerful his master was to have offended so many people.

Did he slap them one by one when he took the imperial examination?

Lu Yang was still thinking that if he had a grudge against the officials of the Imperial City, Five Great Immortal Sects were united against a common enemy, surely they wouldn't also have a grudge against his master?

Looking back, I was too optimistic.

In comparison, the eldest sister is more reliable. She is stunningly beautiful, teaches him cultivation, and can even lend a helping hand when he is in life-or-death danger.

"By this standard, wouldn't I be quite reliable too?" The Immortal Fairy was overjoyed, feeling that Lu Yang was becoming more and more sensible.

She was the most beautiful of the ten High Antiquity beauties, with an impeccable appearance, comparable to Yun Zhi.

She also taught Lu Yang Law Technique, how to form an invincible elixir, and how to build Lu Yang's fame.

When Lu Yang was possessed, he stepped in to help and protect Lu Yang's safety.

All conditions are met!

Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Fairy with a deep gaze, "You didn't mention a single word about how my senior brothers and sisters lined up to beat me up."

Yan Tianzhi realized that what he had said earlier was ambiguous, making it seem as if he had a deep-seated grudge against Lu Yang. After thinking for a moment, he felt he should express goodwill and added, "Master and your sect's Grand Elder have a particularly good relationship and often communicate."

"Is that so?" Lan Ting and Bai Ming asked in surprise.

Lu Yang's expression was strange. What were they discussing? Were they discussing what kind of coffin would be the most comfortable to lie in?

Yan Tianzhi wanted to say something more, but he felt it was too much trouble to talk about it. He figured it would be better to see the actual food. Before the dishes were served, he took out a roll of blueprints from his identity jade pendant and spread them out on the table.

The drawing shows many rectangles connected to each other, forming a honeycomb pattern.

The more Lu Yang looked at it, the more it resembled the blueprints for a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"This is the coffin they designed, saying they'd sleep comfortably in it."

"Moreover, you can carry it with you wherever you go, and if you can't find a place to stay, you can sleep here."

Lu Yang: "..."

So, Elder, you've entrusted the affairs of the Mission Hall to Dai Bufan, and are spending all your time designing coffins?

Does Senior Brother Dai know about this?

Just then, the waiter called out, "The food is here! Please make room, five gentlemen!"

After listening, Yan Tianzhi carefully put away the blueprints, and then a series of mouthwatering delicacies were placed on the table.

None of the dishes were familiar to Lu Yang, but judging from the aroma, they were absolutely top-notch.

Bai Ming said, "Everyone, please eat as much as you like. The governor said he'll cover all your food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation during the festival."

Lu Yang smiled and raised his teacup, saying, "To the Governor."

"Governor Jingzhou"

"Governor Jingzhou"

Everyone clinked glasses and began to eat.

During the meal, Lanting asked, "By the way, there's an eye-testing competition later. Are you interested in participating?"

What is an eye test?

"It's organized by the Landing Money Merchants Association. They'll be displaying all sorts of strange and unusual items for people to see, and whoever can tell me their origin will get the item."

"The items aren't worth much; it's just for the fun of it."

"Interesting, I'll go." Lu Yang was the first to respond to the call.

"Count me in," Meng Jingzhou followed closely behind.

Bai Ming thought for a moment. He had already completed the tasks assigned by the governor, so it would be good to participate in the event together.

"I'll go too."

"Go." Yan Tianzhi said succinctly.

All five of them wanted to go to the eye appraisal meeting to broaden their horizons, so they unconsciously sped up their eating and finished their meal in no time.

As they left the restaurant, Meng Jingzhou nudged Lu Yang's arm, gesturing for him to look in a certain direction.

Lu Yang looked in the direction Meng Jingzhou pointed and saw a thriving barbecue restaurant with a queue that stretched out onto the street.

The barbecue restaurant is called "Come Once Again Barbecue Restaurant".

The lower right corner of the plaque reads: Qingzhou Shengdian Temporary Branch.

"Is the Nine Nether Sect moving so fast? They've even opened a shop here?" Meng Jingzhou asked telepathically.

Lu Yang shook his head. "It shouldn't be that bad. It's only been less than a month. How could they open shops everywhere? We haven't even provided enough tinder. They're probably taking advantage of the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony to come here and promote their business."

Bai Ming noticed Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's unusual behavior and said with a smile, "You're interested in this barbecue restaurant? Lan Ting wasn't here last night, but Tianzhi and I ate there. The owner said their skills were passed down from High Antiquity and boasted to us that it's a 300,000-year-old establishment."

"I don't know if it's real or not, but the taste is definitely good; it's the best I've ever had among grilled skewers."

Yan Tianzhi nodded, acknowledging the taste of the barbecue restaurant.

Lu Yang thought to himself, "Your Nine Nether Sect is really good at bragging. A 300,000-year-old establishment? Why don't you just say that your fire seed is a 300,000-year-old fire seed?"

However, it's true that the craft has been passed down from High Antiquity, since the basic barbecue recipe was provided by Man Gu.

"Shall we have a meal after the eye test?" Bai Ming asked.

"Never mind, we just thought the name of this barbecue restaurant was interesting." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou didn't need to eat here; the ones they made were the most authentic.

Lanting noticed the name of the barbecue restaurant. She was among the second batch of employees at the main branch of the barbecue restaurant and was extremely senior.

The first batch of employees were cougars.

Is it a coincidence that they have the same name and both taste exceptionally good?

Worried that there might be something going on, she whispered to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, "Does this barbecue restaurant have anything to do with you?"

Lan Ting was incredibly clever; she couldn't hide it from him. So Lu Yang explained, "There's a bit of a secret. Don't tell anyone. Maybe your Immortal Palace has a spy from the Demonic Sect."

Upon hearing the words "Demonic Sect," Lan Ting realized the gravity of the matter and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't even tell my master."

Hearing this, Lu Yang felt relieved and said, "Thanks to the tireless efforts of Meng Jingzhou and me, we have improved the taste of the skewers. With the completion of the automatic skewer array and automatic barbecue grill, we are ready to open a chain store. In order to prevent the Nine Nether Sect from causing trouble everywhere, our Ask Dao Sect is cooperating with the Nine Nether Sect and plans to open the 'Come Once Again' barbecue restaurant all over the continent. We are currently in the initial stage."

"Of course, the name used in cooperation with the Nine Nether Sect is not that of the Ask Dao Sect."

Lanting: "..."

The Immortal Cult was only destroyed a few months ago, and your Ask Dao Sect is already eyeing the Nine Nether Cult?

Even if it's our duty as righteous people to vanquish demons, your efficiency is far too high.

How many months do you plan to take to wipe out the Nine Nether Sect this time?

One month or two months?

The second update will be at 11 PM.
