"My Lu's Pictographic Fist is profound and extensive. It is not something that a single spiritual root like you can comprehend completely."
"As the saying goes, the sky has nine levels of height, the earth has nine levels of depth, and the Lu's Xiangxing Fist also has nine levels."
"Now I am just about to reach the first level. When I cultivate to a high level, I can obtain the power, magic, and even cultivation of the object of transformation. If I cultivate to the ninth level in the future, I can become a great power in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in a moment, and suppressing the senior sister will be a piece of cake!"
Lu Yang said this so proudly that Man Gu believed it. Man Gu quietly asked Meng Jingzhou, "Is what Brother Lu said true?"
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes. "That's bullshit. It's obviously made up. If you want to listen, I can make up eight different versions for you."
Man Gu exclaimed, thinking that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were really good at telling lies.
A few days had passed since Lu Yang gave new meaning to Xiangxingquan, and the number of customers coming was increasing day by day. Some customers were so excited about the food that they gave spirit stones as rewards.
"We have raised the price, why are there still so many people?" Lu Yang said gritting his teeth. Yesterday, the largest restaurant in Yanjiang County wanted to buy their recipe.
He was the only one gritting his teeth; Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were both quite happy.
Today, Man Gu went upstairs to supervise Qin Yuanhao, while Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou went downstairs to work as waiters.
While suppressing the urge to tell a crosstalk, Meng Jingzhou transmitted his message: "I heard that a few days ago, there was a table of cultivators who praised our food highly after eating it, saying that our food was better than the spiritual chefs they knew."
"Just like that, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Now many monks know about our restaurant."
Even though the whole mountain of the Daodao Sect is filled with Spiritual Chefs, in fact, Spiritual Chefs are a very unpopular type of cultivator. In Yanjiang County, they can be counted on one hand, and most of them are in the Qi training stage, with only one in the foundation building stage.
Spiritual chefs focus on the mutual generation of the five elements. The food they make is not only delicious, but also can improve one's cultivation, achieving unity of the two effects.
The skewers made by Man Gu certainly cannot improve cultivation, but they are delicious. The cultivators in Yanjiang County felt that since they could not improve their cultivation by eating the food made by the Spiritual Chef, could they not eat skewers that were more delicious than those made by the Spiritual Chef
It is ten times more expensive than ordinary skewers, but in the eyes of the monks it is good value for money.
"We are well-known in the upper-middle class circles of Yanjiang County. Many ordinary people from wealthy families also follow suit and come to eat here. It seems to be a kind of show-off topic. It's just a matter of time before our business experience is promoted throughout the continent. Are you happy?"
"I'm not happy at all." Lu Yang rolled his eyes and welcomed the new customer.
"Boss, this floor is full. Can't we go to the second floor?" A customer saw that the lights were on on the second floor and thought it was a good spot.
"The second floor is being renovated and is not open to customers. Please forgive us." Although he had no intention of making the barbecue restaurant bigger and stronger, Lu Yang still concentrated on being a waiter and had no intention of slacking off at work.
The guests had no choice but to queue up at the back.
"Haha, it's finally our turn. Boss, I'm here with my brothers again!"
Several officers in black plain clothes came to the barbecue restaurant. They had identity badges and long swords hanging around their waists, which was quite intimidating.
People who line up behind them don't want to get too close to them because they have a natural fear in their hearts.
"Captain Wei, you are here."
Lu Yang smiled, seeming to be very familiar with these people.
These people are constables from Yanjiang County. The leader is named Wei. He has a beard and speaks in a very imposing manner. He is nicknamed the Iron-faced Constable. He has a high level of cultivation, and is at the Foundation Establishment stage. Not only are they gangsters, but even people from the Demon Cult are unwilling to deal with them, for fear of being targeted and getting into trouble.
The following constables were also not ordinary people, the lowest of them were at the sixth level of Qi training.
In the world of immortals, you cannot be a constable without some level of cultivation.
This was already the fourth time that Captain Wei had come here. After a few visits, Lu Yang had become familiar with him.
Originally, there were some people who wanted to cut in line, relying on their status and higher levels of cultivation, but when they learned that Captain Wei often came here for supper, they dared not show off anymore.
"I just finished my duty and it's time to change shifts, so I brought my brothers to your place to eat skewers. You know what, your skewers are really something, I'll never forget them after eating them." Captain Wei smacked his lips, drooling at the thought of the skewers in this restaurant.
"It's not easy on business trips. You have to work the night shift every two days." Lu Yang sighed as he led them to the private room.
When they arrived at the private room, Captain Wei and others took off their coats.
"Hey, it's really annoying. I don't know what's going on recently, but a lot of monks have poured into Yanjiang County. It seems that they are not good people, which has caused a lot of pressure on public security."
"The county magistrate has repeatedly ordered us to ensure that there will be no trouble. I have no choice but to lead my brothers on more patrols. After the patrols, I will come to your place to reward my brothers."
Captain Wei saw that Lu Yang was very busy, so he didn't say much and started ordering food.
"Is it the same thing as last time?" Lu Yang asked. Captain Wei ordered the same skewers the previous three times.
"Let's bring something new this time. I wanted to try it last time, but was stopped by the brothers. Give me ten skewers of grilled eyes, ten skewers of grilled silkworm pupae, and ten skewers of centipedes." After Captain Wei said this, he told Lu Yang to prepare it quickly without giving the brothers a chance to react.
The brothers wailed, these things didn't sound like they were edible.
"Look at you all, you are spoiled. One day I will take you to the wild to carry out a mission for half a month. You are not allowed to bring fasting pills. Just wait and see what you will eat!"
After the good wine and skewers were served, Captain Wei and his companions devoured them with relish.
When they were enjoying the meal, several brothers started to complain and curse.
"Damn, those thieves who have been stealing everywhere lately are so cunning that they don't leave any clues behind."
"It must have been done by a cultivator, otherwise even a veteran wouldn't be able to do it so skillfully."
"I guess it's those monks from other places."
"Once I catch these bastards, I will whip them a hundred or eighty times and then lock them up in the dungeon!"
The thieves were causing trouble but they were not caught. Captain Wei was very embarrassed: "The county magistrate ordered me to solve the case within a month. He is so capable, let him do it himself! Today, this group of thieves also robbed the homes of Mr. Li and Mr. Lu. Mr. Li is a relative of the county magistrate. Tomorrow, the county magistrate will definitely put pressure on me again."
The private room next door.
A customer who looked like a big brother placed today's harvest on the table and said, "Today's work is worth it. As usual, I'll take 40% and the rest will be divided equally among the brothers."
The brothers were all smiling and happy. Today was a great harvest. "Before coming here, I heard how powerful Captain Wei was. He was also known as the Iron-faced Captain. But now I see that he is just so-so. He can't even do anything to us!"
"That's too sad. At least I can eat my fart."
"The Li and Lu families are really wealthy, especially the Ma family. Although his cultivation is not high, he has a lot of good things."
"Come on, come on, eat and drink as much as you want today. It's my treat, and no one is allowed to get drunk. We're going to get drunk today!"
The thieves were drinking heartily. One of them went out to the toilet. When he returned to the room, he accidentally walked into the wrong door and ended up in Captain Wei's room.
"Um-Brother, why have you changed your appearance and become uglier?"
"Where did this drunkard come from? Get out of here." A constable said impatiently. They were worried about where to arrest someone, and now there was a drunkard here causing trouble.
The man was furious and wanted to hit someone, but he was no match for the group of constables and they threw him out in no time.
The detectives saw that the man had some skills, but they didn't take it seriously and went back to drinking and complaining.
The man felt wronged and went back to appeal to his boss.
The drunk thieves heard that their brothers were bullied. The drunken boss was even more righteous. He slammed the table and said arrogantly: "Good fellow, you dare to bully me? Go tell the neighbors next door, if you have the guts, come over here. Anyone who doesn't come is a grandson!"
