Seeing this, Meng Jingzhou stopped pretending to be sick and wailing, and suddenly stood up from the stretcher.
Master Liu and Master Gao were not wearing their greasy barbecue restaurant work clothes, nor did they have the simple smiles they had when entertaining customers. They were dressed in formal attire and had solemn expressions, as if they were recalling the glorious days of the Immortal Religion.
When they looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, they felt extremely cold and their backs went cold.
"You two, please come with us. We need your help with something."
Master Liu and Master Gao have already investigated everything clearly. After Lu Yang and Yun Zhi came back, Yun Zhi left the Wendao Sect again for some unknown reason. Now is a godsend opportunity to take action against Lu Yang!
If we don’t act now, when will we act
There are too many people here, making it inconvenient to act. They have to invite Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to the headquarters of their Immortal Sect - the Come Again BBQ Restaurant!
Before this, the barbecue restaurant was just a small shop that could barely gain a foothold in the commercial street. It was surrounded by enemies, and powerful people in the fusion stage were staring at them covetously. The situation was very dangerous.
But later, after the guidance of the leader and the Immortal Immortal, as well as the careful planning and step-by-step winning strategy of the Immortal Cult's top leaders, the barbecue restaurant has become a den of evil of the Immortal Cult.
As for the fact that Zai Lai Yi Shi BBQ Restaurant occupied the commercial street and secretly expanded its power, the Dao Dao Sect knew nothing about it...
"Let's go." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou did not lose their momentum.
Being sandwiched by two people in the fusion stage, the two men had no strength to resist. Even if they didn't want to leave, they would probably be carried away. Instead of this, it would be better for them to walk by themselves.
"Please come this way." Master Gao extended his hand and invited the two to come to the barbecue restaurant.
Lu Yang stood at the door of the barbecue restaurant and found that the restaurant was pitch black. He could only vaguely see two figures swaying in the darkness.
The two men stepped into the barbecue restaurant. Master Liu and Master Gao stood quietly at the door, like two iron figurines guarding it.
As soon as he entered the barbecue restaurant, Lu Yang had a feeling of being isolated from the outside world. He could not hear any noise from the outside world, nor could he see what the outside world looked like.
What he didn't know was that not only the sounds and scenes, but the leader had already set up a unique formation in the barbecue restaurant, even blocking out spiritual consciousness.
The light whose source could not be found gradually filled the barbecue restaurant, revealing the true faces of the two black shadows: a religious leader and an immortal immortal. Both were dressed in formal attire, and seemed to be determined to do something big.
"Please take a seat, both of you." The leader asked the two to take a seat.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lu Yang asked coldly, somewhat confused about the leader's approach.
But Lu Yang was not afraid of him because the Immortal Immortal was sitting next to him.
As the controller of the immortal lineage, the Immortal Fairy can completely control the Immortal Immortal, the source of the Immortal Sect. With this relationship, the Sect Leader will not be able to cause any trouble.
"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask Daoist Fellow Lu Yang for a small favor. With Daoist Fellow Lu Yang's status in the Dao Sect, it's just a matter of a word."
"Well, I learned that you two have just achieved the Golden Core Formation, so I specially prepared some small gifts as a token of my appreciation. I hope you will give me some face." The leader silently pushed the two gift boxes towards Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The leader opened the gift box and revealed the contents, a priceless Guben Peiyuan Pill that could consolidate the Golden Elixir's cultivation. The remaining medicinal power would become a foundation, which would help with future breakthroughs. It would not leave any residual medicinal effect in the body, thus affecting future breakthroughs.
A protective magic weapon that can block a full-strength attack from a fusion stage master.
A book titled "Experiences in Cultivation in the Golden Core Stage".
There are five small bottles, each containing things of the five elements, including real fire, pure water, and fertile soil, which can be refined into long-lasting five-element magic instruments.
In addition, there are various precious items, each of which is not affordable for ordinary Jindan stage cultivators.
The two did not accept this "small gift", and Lu Yang said bluntly: "Master, we are old acquaintances, let's not beat around the bush, just speak."
The leader slowly spoke out the plan he had been planning for a long time: "Specifically, it is to absorb independent cultivators to become part of us, expand the scope of our business, increase our influence on the Great Xia Dynasty, and make it impossible for the world to leave us!"
"After the matter is accomplished, we will not treat you two unfairly, and we will give you generous gifts!"
"You two may not know yet, but our influence is spreading quietly and has spread to the entire commercial street. The Daodao Sect is completely unaware of this."
Lu Yang frowned. The leader's words were tantamount to saying that the entire commercial street was occupied by their people. If he did not agree, he would probably not be able to leave this street.
But he still refused to give in: "What if we don't do you a little favor?"
"Won't help?" The leader stood up slowly, like a long-silent mountain god reviving, putting tremendous pressure on the two.
The leader narrowed his eyes at the two men and threatened them fiercely, "I have been very polite to you two. We just want to open a branch of the barbecue restaurant to the outside world. If you two go too far, don't blame me for kneeling down to beg you!"
The leader felt that he had done a perfect job. He asked Master Liu and Master Gao not to wear shop assistant uniforms but to dress more formally. He invited the two men over with a smile on their faces.
Considering that it is June and the weather is very hot, Master Liu and Master Gao were specifically told to cast cooling spells when they see Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou so as not to overheat them.
For safety reasons, and to prevent his competitors from eavesdropping on him, he also set up a unique formation to isolate himself from outside detection.
The barbecue restaurant is cleaned spotlessly without any grease.
He used all his spare time from running the slaughterhouse to refine the two protective magic weapons.
The experience of cultivation in the Jindan stage was summarized by the Immortal Immortal based on the memories of all the Immortal Sect followers and written down in his own handwriting.
He visited the business owners one by one in the commercial street and persuaded them to buy the five elements items.
Opening a branch outside is just a matter of a word, and these two are still not satisfied
The leader made up his mind and thought that a real man can bend and stretch. For the long-term plan of the barbecue restaurant, the worst that could happen is that he kneeled down!
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou quickly stopped the leader, confused by the sudden change: "Are you going to open a branch of the barbecue restaurant?"
"yes."
"So what did you just say about recruiting independent cultivators to become part of your team?"
"Recruiting store clerks."
None of them could leave the Wendao Sect and open branches outside, so they had to recruit store employees.
"Then expand the scope of influence?"
"Open the barbecue restaurant outside of the Wen Dao Sect."
"Increase the influence of forces on the Great Xia Dynasty?"
“Become a big taxpayer.”
"So that the world can't leave you?"
“To get people to come to our store more often.”
Meng Jingzhou looked at the leader suspiciously: "You just said that the influence has spread to the entire commercial street. Do you think the Taoist sect is unaware of this?"
“We overstated our earnings and underpaid management fees.”
The Immortal Immortal added, "There is another meaning, which is that the revenue of our barbecue restaurant in the Dao Sect has reached saturation, and we need to open branches outside to expand into new markets."
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
Is it necessary to make opening a barbecue restaurant branch so complicated
