A group of people looked at Yang Zhen with strange expressions, then at the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken who looked like they wanted to avoid him at all costs. They looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
"Drink!"
Elder Quan's face flushed red. He let out a soft shout, and suddenly a terrifying wave of energy erupted from his hands, rushing towards the barrier, startling everyone.
The Shameless Cat and Yang Zhen exchanged a glance and nodded secretly. This old man did have some skill in defusing awkward situations, but his method of breaking the formation was a bit reckless, almost causing them to stumble. They quickly steadied themselves and calmed their breathing.
Everyone looked at Elder Quan with suspicion and uncertainty. Fang Zhongjian looked at Elder Quan with a solemn and worried expression, his face showing shock.
As the terrifying shockwave erupted, torrents of True Essence essence surged forth, causing the Elder Quan's clothes to flutter violently and a large section of his hair and beard to be shaved off.
As Yang Zhen flipped the barbecue grill, he peered down and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Around the barrier, a series of starlight shimmered with dazzling brilliance, gradually eroding the barrier. Elder Quan's method of breaking the barrier was actually the same as Dao Fanatic's —it was all based on Star Calculation.
Yang Zhen wasn't very familiar with this method, so he only watched for a while before stopping. With Elder Quan Quan's Star Calculation method, it was almost impossible to break the seal in a short time.
However, there are countless talented and extraordinary people in this world, so perhaps Elder Quan will be able to break the restriction very quickly.
Amidst the raging True Essence, everyone watched with solemn expressions Elder Quan broke the seal. Even those cultivators who had failed to purchase Yang Zhen's flying boat and were clinging to the edges of other flying boats also wore solemn expressions and swallowed hard.
A strange aroma slowly wafted out amidst the burst of True Essence from heaven and earth. The two rascals, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, had already returned to Yang Zhen's side, drooling over the barbecue in Yang Zhen's hands.
Heavenly Spring Holy Lord looked at Elder Quan with a smile and said, " Elder Quan's mastery of formations is indeed becoming increasingly profound. Even I find this Saint Law restriction quite terrifying, but I never expected Elder Quan to be able to control it... What's that smell?"
It smells amazing! This is definitely not your average barbecue. The delicious aroma of meat is mixed with a hint of spiciness, making your mouth water. Even the usually composed Heavenly Spring Holy Lord couldn't help but look in the direction of the aroma after smelling it.
Turning his head, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord was startled.
All the disciples of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land around him were facing one direction, swallowing hard. No one had heard what he had just said.
How can you hear it?
Elder Quan Quan's mastery of formations deepened, while Yang Zhen's skill in barbecue improved by leaps and bounds.
Yang Zhen had sensed it before when he roasted Gale Sheep: the mutton from the Cultivation World was much more delicious than that from the Blue Planet, with a rich aroma and a smooth, slippery texture.
Clang!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Zhen slammed a jar of fine wine onto the ground. After breaking the seal, the aroma of the wine wafted out, mingling with the scent of meat. The Shameless Cat even bit its own tongue.
"This..."
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord involuntarily approached Yang Zhen and asked, "Young friend Yang, what kind of meat is this?"
Yang Zhen tossed out a small stool with a clatter. He had made it out of boredom, based on the small stools he saw at the food stalls on Blue Planet. He figured that squatting on the ground was the best way to enjoy skewers.
"It's just ordinary mutton, but it's been sitting out for a while. Ah, a thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend. It's usually hard to find someone to drink with, but now that I have some free time, why don't you come and have a drink with me, senior?"
Want a drink?
Upon hearing this, everyone felt an urge to curse.
At this critical moment, with Elder Quan and the others doing their utmost to break the restrictions, this bastard Yang Zhen actually wants to invite the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord for a drink?
What kind of person do they take the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord for?
If the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord were to agree to Yang Zhen's request at this time, wouldn't that be far too absurd?
"OK!"
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord had no airs whatsoever. He laughed heartily and sat down on the small stool Yang Zhen tossed him, saying somewhat awkwardly, "This kind of stool feels rather strange, but... it feels great!"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Senior, you don't know this, but sitting on these stools, grilling meat and drinking wine, that's one of life's greatest pleasures. They say you should enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful. Now we're in high spirits, ready to explore the High Antiquity Ruins. Putting aside any dangers the High Antiquity Ruins might hold, how can we enjoy life like this without wine?"
The Heavenly Snow Holy Lord was taken aback, then burst into laughter and said, "Well said! One should enjoy life to the fullest when one is successful. We are about to face a great change in the world, so discussing the future over wine at this time would be a truly exhilarating experience."
As he spoke, the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord slapped the wine jar, and a wine dragon shot out, landing in the bowl, filling it exactly one bowl.
The surrounding crowd stared in disbelief. No one had expected that, at this moment, the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord would disregard everyone and simply sit down.
Is Yang Zhen really poisonous?
With everyone's fate uncertain, how could the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord possibly do something so absurd?
As the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord accepted the mutton handed to him by Yang Zhen, his mouth full of oil, his eyes lit up, and he wolfed it down with gusto, forgetting even to drink his wine, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
However... that spicy and stimulating aroma is just... so delicious!
snort!
A cold snort rang out, and the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord's face turned ashen as he stared at the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord, his face flashing with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
At that moment, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord's body. As the waves of energy surged and churned, they actually formed a shield-like structure around him, completely preventing the bursts of True Essence from penetrating it.
"This... how is this possible?"
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Who would have thought that just eating a skewer of meat would cause the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord to unleash... a protective array?
This was completely beyond everyone's comprehension.
Could this be a smokescreen by the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord? He originally carried this array restriction that could resist the storm of True Essence from heaven and earth, and he took it out now just to cover up Yang Zhen's almost absurd act of roasting meat?
But who is the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord? Would he really do such a thing for Yang Zhen?
Yang Zhen's influence is a bit too much, isn't it?
As everyone was wondering, the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord suddenly stepped towards Yang Zhen and the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain, his face ashen, staring intently at Yang Zhen, and said:
"Outrageous! At this critical moment, the Saint Law restrictions could erupt at any time, and you're not only grilling meat here, but you're also dragging the Heavenly Snow Holy Lord into your nonsense! You... you... don't you even have a stool like this?"
Thump!
Someone in the crowd stumbled and nearly knocked over the person next to them.
Everyone stared blankly at the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord Heavenly Spring Holy Lord, never expecting that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would do something so absurd.
Although the mutton was very fragrant, more fragrant than any mutton they had ever eaten before, when was this?
Elder Quan was still gritting his teeth and insisting on breaking the restriction, but the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord actually asked Yang Zhen for a stool?
What do you need a stool for?
Even a fool would think that the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord wouldn't use a stool to pat Yang Zhen; he would have sat down and drunk and eaten meat together.
This is... absurd, utterly absurd!
While everyone was bewildered and inwardly cursing, they kept swallowing hard.
It wasn't until the Heavenly Spring Holy Lord ate a skewer of mutton and his body burst forth with a dazzling light, with countless runes swirling around him, blocking the surrounding True Essence and fierce winds of heaven and earth, that everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
Yang Zhen's barbecue... there's definitely something wrong with it!
