Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

The Second Elder followed behind Shangguan Yu, eyeing Vice Sect Master Liu and his group suspiciously: “You guys look unfamiliar. I haven’t seen you in the Dao Seeking Sect. Could it be that you’re…”

Vice Sect Master Liu immediately recognized the Second Elder Bayan, a high-ranking and influential figure of the Dao Seeking Sect at the peak of the Unity Stage. Being suspected by such a person could likely blow their cover.

He quickly put on a smile, signaling the other six to get up and serve the customer: “The shopkeeper is away on business, and we were temporarily pulled in to help. You ordered twenty mutton skewers, right? Please wait a moment; it will be ready soon.”

As members of a demonic sect, having a cruel and cold smile is a required skill, but being able to switch smiles at will is also essential.

Vice Sect Master Liu rolled up his sleeves, tied on a white apron with black borders hanging on the wall, and took out twenty-five mutton skewers from a basin: “You are our first customer today, so I’m giving you five extra skewers.”

A few flies attracted by the smell of the meat were shooed away by Vice Sect Master Liu.

The Second Elder was still somewhat skeptical: “This shop doesn’t seem very clean…”

Vice Sect Master Liu quickly responded: “Old Gao, bring out the formation!”

Vice Sect Master Gao took out a set of formations from his storage ring and laid it on the ground, causing the flies to instantly flee the barbecue shop.

Those who opened shops in the Dao Seeking Sect were no ordinary people, so using storage rings and formations wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

Vice Sect Master Liu smiled and explained: “Absolutely clean, this is an insect repelling formation we brought from outside.”

Vice Sect Master Liu was always meticulous in his work.

He flipped and shook the skewers with one hand while sprinkling barbecue seasoning with the other. The fragrance of the mutton, ignited by the charcoal fire, was mouth-watering.

Vice Sect Master Liu’s proficiency was not inferior to that of Lu Yang.

They had specifically sought out the best local barbecue master and learned painstakingly for three days just for this moment!

“Do you eat spicy?”

Shangguan Yu thought for a moment. She wasn’t very good with spicy food, but felt something was missing without it: “Mildly spicy, please.”

“Alright.” Vice Sect Master Liu continued to grill the skewers while shouting out.

“Come and see, fresh grassland lamb, slaughtered and prepared on the spot, with meat and tendons, fragrant and chewy, an unforgettable taste!”

This was what the mortal barbecue master used to shout, and he told them that the louder they shouted, the more customers they would attract.

Perhaps because he had heard the mortal barbecue master shout so many times, Vice Sect Master Liu, inspired by the moment, also gave it a try.

Indeed, it worked, and gradually, Dao Seeking Sect disciples started to gather around.

“Here, your skewers are ready.” Vice Sect Master Liu handed the mutton skewers to Shangguan Yu.

“How much?”

Vice Sect Master Liu had no idea about the pricing; he glanced at the price list hanging on the wall and was shocked.

Were the prices in the Dao Seeking Sect always this high?

What Vice Sect Master Liu didn’t know was that the prices in the Dao Seeking Sect were not usually high, but they had been temporarily raised because of the event.

Shangguan Yu slightly opened her mouth to take a bite. The meat was fragrant and juicy, to the point where she couldn’t tell if it was her saliva or the juice from the meat.

“Delicious, delicious, give me fifty more skewers! And two grilled pig’s trotters.”

The biggest advantage for cultivators eating food is that no matter how much they eat, they won’t feel full. As long as they want to eat, they can enjoy the feast to their heart’s content.

Of course, this characteristic wouldn’t have a chance to be displayed at the feast prepared by the Everlasting Fairy.

Seeing how Shangguan Yu was enjoying her food, saliva dripped from the mouths of the people around, and they clamored for skewers, following her lead.

Vice Sect Master Gao welcomed the customers: “There’s space inside, space inside, no need to crowd outside, you can come in to order!”

The five visiting elders busied themselves serving the customers.

On the martial training ground, the first match of the Golden Core group finished, and there was still some time before the second match started. Many disciples, including those from both the Dao Seeking Sect and the Five Elements Sect, chose to eat while watching the battles.

They noticed that one barbecue shop was unusually bustling with business.

“Let’s check it out.”

As more and more disciples came to eat skewers, Vice Sect Master Liu felt a confidence welling up inside him.

“I’ve always said, what does it matter how bustling Lu Yang’s barbecue shop in Yanjiang County is? That was before I made my move. If I did, what business would Lu Yang have?”

“Old Gao, there are too many orders, I can’t keep up. Set up another stall!”

“Alright!”

Unexpectedly, Vice Sect Master Gao’s barbecue skills were not the slightest bit inferior to Vice Sect Master Liu!!

…

Up in the stands, Lu Yang delivered skewers to the Eldest Senior Sister, and was met with Qiu Jin’an’s surprised gaze.

Why would Sect Master Lu stoop to selling skewers?

What has happened in such a short time, and what occurred during it?

Qiu Jin’an couldn’t figure it out.

“How are the preparations going?”

“There are only seven customers left in the shop, according to the plan, disciples will come to order, and there should be no accidents.”

“Got it, go back.”

…

When Lu Yang returned, he glanced at the martial training ground. The second match had already begun, with Senior Sister Yi Jing, who was also challenged by the Everlasting Fairy across levels, representing the Dao Seeking Sect.

Lu Yang noticed the senior brothers and sisters watching below, holding many skewers, and was somewhat surprised. Even Bai Ming, who had just lost, was holding a bunch and eating deliciously.

What’s going on?

When Lu Yang got back, Meng Jingzhou and Barbarian Bone had already returned to the barbecue shop, bustling around, assisting the two vice sect masters.

Those secretly arranged to buy skewers couldn’t even line up properly. Seeing Lu Yang, they spread their hands in helplessness.

The Second Elder, eating skewers by the roadside, greasy-mouthed, greeted Lu Yang: “Where did you find these people? Their skewering skills are top-notch.”

Shangguan Yu also expressed her desire to visit the Dao Seeking Sect more often.

Lu Yang: “…”

“Make way, make way,” Lu Yang shouted, wanting to see what was happening inside.

The crowded person frowned: “What’s the push for? Don’t you know to line up?”

“I’m a staff member!”

Seeing Lu Yang, the crowded person twitched his mouth and made way.

He suddenly remembered his master’s warning, that there would be demonic cult infiltrators at the exchange site, and Lu Yang planned to capture them all in one go.

Could the people in this barbecue shop be from the demonic cult?

He stared at the two vice sect masters grilling skewers for a long time but felt he might have been mistaken.

The Dao Seeking Sect’s elders had already greeted everyone, saying if Lu Yang appeared where he shouldn’t be, not to panic, just pretend not to know him.

Seeing Lu Yang return, Vice Sect Master Liu was overjoyed: “Little Lu is back, just in time, you go and maintain order, let everyone line up properly.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Do you even remember what you’re here for?

Lu Yang originally intended to find a few customers to occupy them, but he hadn’t expected to make the barbecue shop thrive.

Lu Yang noticed the genuinely happy smile on Barbarian Bone’s face and Meng Jingzhou’s expression of reliving the days in Yanjiang County, not knowing where to begin with his complaints.

The Everlasting Fairy nodded in satisfaction: “Worthy of my followers, the self-reliance capability is quite good, though the skill level of these skewers needs improvement.”

“Lu Yang, let me take over the body. I’ll show you what divine-level skewering is, everyone will learn from it.”

The Everlasting Fairy, getting excited, didn’t care about the principle of “not transmitting the law lightly” anymore, clamoring to show off her skills.

Hearing this, Lu Yang quickly stopped the Everlasting Fairy.

“Please don’t add to the chaos!”
