Chapter 173 – This thing seems to make more money than working in the Immortal Sect


As night fell, the cultivators began to crave a delightful and relaxing meal.

A small, unassuming shop was located a street away from the martial arts square. With no organization, people were drawn to the aroma and unanimously chose this place for another round at the barbecue shop.

Just as the name of the barbecue shop suggested, customers who had eaten there once would want to come back again, satisfying their insatiable appetites.

Many of the customers who came here for barbecue were attracted by a special mutton dish from the Barbarian tribe. The Barbarian barbecue recipe had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, and it remained ever fresh.

The barbecue recipe needed to be prepared on the same day. The Barbarian ancestors had a lot of experience in roasting beef and mutton and preparing spices. The subtle differences in the taste of the skewers from more than a dozen shops in the Seek Tao Sect were all in these small ingredients.

Master Liu, who also served as the deputy leader of the Immortal Sect, had a different opinion. He believed that the best ingredients only needed the simplest cooking methods. For skewers, the most important thing was the heat and heart.

Master Liu treated each skewer as a battle, putting his heart and soul into it, never slacking off. Even when orders piled up like a mountain, Master Liu remained calm and carefully controlled the heat, immersing himself in his own world.

Eating was like fighting a war, an unchanging truth since ancient times. A good barbecue shop naturally required the cooperation of the logistics staff.

The logistics staff of the “Come Again” barbecue shop, acting as temporary shop assistants, had never encountered such things before. But they seemed to be born for this job. When serving customers, they were in perfect harmony, taking care of the accounts, cleaning up, and washing dishes, as if they were real brothers.

However, no shop in the world was perfect. No matter how well they cooperated, there were still people who were absent-minded and lost in their own world.

“Little Lu, what’s the matter with you? Can’t you focus on your work?” Master Gao, who also served as the deputy leader of the Immortal Sect, scolded Little Lu for his lack of concentration.

Lu Yang: “……”

Did I rush into becoming the founder of the Immortal Sect? The Immortal Sect doesn’t seem to have much of a future. It’s better to be a disciple of the Seek Tao Sect honestly.

“You want to quit the sect?” The Immortal Fairy stared at Lu Yang with an unpleasant expression. It took a lot of guts to talk about quitting the sect in front of the faith.

“Fairy, do you have something to do? If not, go back to sleep.”

“Of course I have something to do. You go and tell Little Gao that his method of roasting skewers is wrong. They are too tender. The fire needs to be bigger, and there should be a burnt aroma to be strong enough.”

“Hurry up and say it. This is an immortal order.” The Immortal Fairy urged.

In ancient times, whatever she said was taken very seriously, regarded as an immortal revelation. People would analyze her words from various angles.

Now she didn’t have this treatment. When she spoke, Lu Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard her.

Man Gu secretly found Lu Yang with a worried face: “Brother Lu, we can’t go on like this.”

Lu Yang was delighted, thinking that someone finally realized the problem?

“We didn’t prepare so many skewers. If we continue like this, we will soon sell out!”

“……” Lu Yang began to reflect, wondering whether it was Man Gu who had a problem with his brain or himself.

“What, there aren’t many skewers left?” A high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect changed his face when he heard this. This was not a small matter.

This high-ranking member was called Jiang Yitian, who was in charge of collecting money.

“Then hurry up and buy some more outside!”

Man Gu shook his head: “The skewers are marinated in advance. The quality of the meat bought now is not guaranteed, not to mention the lack of marinating time.”

As a member of the ancient Barbarian tribe, Man Gu couldn’t ruin the reputation of the Barbarian barbecue.

“You have a strong position!” The Immortal Fairy praised. She had eaten Barbarian barbecue in ancient times, and the taste was indeed unique, but they didn’t pay attention to nutritional balance.

The Immortal Fairy always paid attention to nutritional balance when cooking. She gave constructive suggestions for improvement to the Barbarian tribe, but they didn’t listen and stuck to their position.

When the competition on the martial arts square reached the end of the Elemental Infant group, the skewers were sold out.

Everyone began to summarize the gains of the day.

“Damn it, aren’t we here to make trouble for the Seek Tao Sect? What are you all doing, playing house here?” Deputy Leader Liu took the lead. He realized that he had been engrossed in barbecue just now and missed the point, but he couldn’t admit his mistake in public.

As expected of the deputy leader of the Demon Sect, he was born to do bad things. The villain was the first to complain, and he was very skilled at it.

Deputy Leader Gao also scolded everyone: “Where is your position? You are so careless in doing tasks, can you live up to the Immortal Sage?”

Everyone thought that it was just the two of them who were the most enthusiastic just now.

Jiang Yitian, who was in charge of collecting money just now, thought for a while and said seriously: “Is it too late for us to change our profession and open a barbecue shop now?”

Another high-ranking member frowned: “What do you mean, open a barbecue shop, do you want to give up your faith in the Immortal Sage?”

“But it’s really profitable to open a barbecue shop in the Seek Tao Sect.”

The high-ranking member disdainfully said: “How much can it earn?”

“It’s equivalent to a month’s offering.”

The high-ranking member thought for a while: “Worshipping the statue of the Immortal Sage on one side and running a barbecue shop on the other side doesn’t seem to conflict with the doctrine.”

Deputy Leader Liu scolded this high-ranking member for his unstable position: “This is simply nonsense. As loyal believers of the Immortal Sage, how can we have your kind of……”

“It’s equivalent to a month’s offering for all of us combined.”

“It’s our luck in the Immortal Sect to have your kind of idea!”Deputy Sect Leader Liu changed his tune and began to plan for the future: “We can open chain stores across the entire continent, which would not only solve the employment problem of our followers but also make money. By then, we will be the major taxpayers of the Great Xia Dynasty!”

Deputy Sect Leader Gao was furious: “Have you ever thought about whether the prices elsewhere would be as outrageous as in the Seek Tao Sect, or whether the consumption level during holidays could be the same as usual? You only see the immediate benefits and have not considered the long-term. Most importantly, once we open chain stores, who can guarantee that all followers can barbecue at the same level as us!”

“Get ready to set off, to the Martial Arts Square!”

Lu Yang sighed secretly. The original plan was to use the guests to hold them back, giving these people a chance. Unfortunately, the skewers sold too quickly and couldn’t last until the end of the event.

“To maximize the effect of the Dream Pillow, we need a specific position. Little Lu, you three lead us to the Martial Arts Square to scout the place. As soon as the time comes, immediately activate the Immortal Treasure. By then, you will be the great heroes!”

Lu Yang hung his head, his face serious, looking like a brave martyr: “We don’t want any credit, it’s our duty to dedicate ourselves to the Immortal Sect!”

“Good, I knew I didn’t misjudge you!” Deputy Sect Leader Liu greatly admired Lu Yang. He was indeed a person of interest to the Sect Leader and truly had admirable qualities.

The founder of the Immortal Sect led his subordinates to the Martial Arts Square and dispersed to their positions.

Deputy Sect Leader Liu watched the battles on the Martial Arts Square and nodded slightly. As expected of disciples from the five major immortal sects, although their cultivation levels were not high, their fighting methods were commendable and flawless.

He said to the great founder: “Little Lu, watch these battles carefully, they will be very helpful to you.”
