Chapter 324 – Barbecue restaurant reopens


After Lu Yang woke up, Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan also regained consciousness. The father and daughter looked around, unable to understand the situation.

“Are you all awake?” The Fifth Elder sat on a bench, appearing calm and composed.

Qin Yanyan remembered the scene before she fainted. With a wave of the Fifth Elder’s sleeve, their vision went black. When they came to, they were already here.

It was exactly like the legendary ‘Universe in the Sleeve’.

“I get it, you just used the ‘Universe in the Sleeve’, didn’t you!” Qin Yanyan exclaimed excitedly, amazed to have personally experienced such a legendary divine ability.

No wonder he was an elder of the Seek Tao Sect!

The Fifth Elder revealed a faint smile, saying nothing.

Li Haoran wore a thoughtful expression. He had never heard that his master could perform ‘Universe in the Sleeve’.

Meng Jingzhou, who had been observing the whole time, raised an eyebrow. He was the only one among the four who hadn’t fainted.

After knocking out Lu Yang and the others, the Fifth Elder explained to him that he was worried they might be afraid of heights or lack flying experience. It would be easier to knock them out and take them along.

Then, the Fifth Elder took out three sacks and put them over the three of them. His movements were so practiced, it was hard to tell how many times he had done this before.

“Is this the ‘Try Again Barbecue Shop’ you mentioned?” Before setting off, the Fifth Elder had done his homework. He had asked Dai Bufan for the report on Lu Yang’s mission and knew about the events in Yanjiang County.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at the familiar setup, their expressions filled with nostalgia.

Time flies, and things change. It had been so many years, the Immortal Sect had been destroyed, and they hadn’t expected to return here.

The Fifth Elder wiped the table, revealing a thick layer of dust. “It’s been three months. It’s time to clean up.”

Just as the four juniors were about to start cleaning, the Fifth Elder waved his hand. “No need for that.”

His lips trembled slightly as he recited an incantation that no one could understand, and casually cast a seal.

The seal fell to the ground, and space seemed to tremble, creating invisible ripples that spread out in circles.

The dust on the tables, chairs, and floor vibrated with the ripples in space, separating from the objects they were attached to and spreading outwards.

Even the dust on the four of them trembled slightly and left their bodies.

When all the dust, grease, and other dirt had spread to the corners, a suction force appeared in the Fifth Elder’s palm, drawing the dirt inwards into a vortex.

In the end, the dirt formed a ball, and when the Fifth Elder clenched his fist, the ball of dirt disappeared without a trace.

The entire barbecue shop felt brand new, as if everything was new.

“This is the Dust Purification Spell, often used for cleaning. In your spare time from cultivation, you can practice these practical minor spells,” the Fifth Elder explained.

“If you find someone displeasing, you can also use the Dust Purification Spell to gather the dirt into a ball and throw it at them.”

This was the original intention of the Fifth Elder learning the Dust Purification Spell.

“Let’s reopen!”

Lu Yang took out various seasonings, skewers, automatic skewering array, barbecue grill, and other things from his identity jade card. He hadn’t taken them when he left before.

“This automatic skewering array is quite interesting, very creative,” the Fifth Elder glanced at the array and figured out its function.

Lu Yang thought to himself that this was the latest achievement of the Immortal Sect’s high-level members, the result of the wisdom of four Body Fusion stage cultivators.

The Fifth Elder asked, “Do you have an array or magical tool for automatic grilling?”

Lu Yang shook his head. They hadn’t designed one yet.

“In that case, I’ll design one. However, I’ve never grilled skewers before and don’t have much experience. I need to practice for a couple of days first. Only then will I know how to design a magical tool for automatic grilling.”

The Fifth Elder’s favorite thing to do was to create magical tools that had never existed before.

Lu Yang was delighted. He had been considering whether to catch a couple of ghosts to help, but it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary now.

Lu Yang mixed the seasonings in a certain ratio and quickly made a jar of red barbecue sauce with a barbarian flavor.

“I’ll go out and buy some raw materials,” Lu Yang said, letting the Fifth Elder try his hand first.

“Go ahead.”

Lu Yang pushed open the door, attracting the surprised gazes of the pedestrians on the street.

“Manager Lu!”

“What, this is Manager Lu?”

“Is the barbecue shop reopening?”

“I heard that Manager Lu went out to start a business. Did he fail and come back to run the barbecue shop?”

“Didn’t they say that Manager Lu went home to take over the family business? Why is he back?”

“There’s such a rumor?”

“Didn’t you hear? Manager Lu got lost from his parents when he was a child. The barbecue recipe of the barbecue shop is Manager Lu’s childhood memory. A powerful person came here to eat skewers. After eating, he was moved to tears, saying that only their family could make this flavor. He asked who made it, and then the father and son recognized each other, and the barbecue shop closed.”

“I heard that Manager Lu has a very rich fiancée, and Manager Lu was taken away by his fiancée?”

The pedestrians were discussing fervently. The ‘Try Again Barbecue Shop’ was the most popular shop in Yanjiang County, and even the surrounding counties had heard of it.

Unfortunately, after the Spring Festival, the barbecue shop closed down, and people missed it terribly.

People made various guesses about Lu Yang’s departure.

As for the death of the county governor at that time, no one would associate it with the barbecue shop, let alone a barbecue shop full of banners of honor.

“Manager Lu, is the barbecue shop reopening?”

“Yeah, without your skewers at night, it always feels like something is missing!”

Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Lu Yang raised his hand and loudly declared, “Everyone, please calm down. We came back this time to continue running our barbecue shop. Rest assured, we plan to reopen the barbecue shop tomorrow!”

“Great!”

After Lu Yang finally broke free from the crowd, he was surrounded again at the market. By the time he returned to the barbecue shop, he was panting from exhaustion, feeling that going out was even more tiring than fighting.

“I’m back!”

Lu Yang tossed the meat and vegetables onto the automatic skewering array. The array automatically cut the food into small pieces, and the wooden skewers floated up, stringing the food together in a smooth process.

The Fifth Elder brought the skewered food to the barbecue grill and turned to ask, “Do you have a specific flame for barbecuing?”

As a grandmaster of artifact refining, the Fifth Elder mastered seven types of true flames. However, all of them were fierce flames, suitable for refining artifacts but not for barbecuing.

“I have the Three Flavors True Flame!” Lu Yang volunteered. His true flame was the most suitable for barbecuing.

“I also have a true flame.” Meng Jingzhou said, a hot flame rising from his palm.

“Pure Yang True Flame?” The Fifth Elder recognized the origin of the flame in Meng Jingzhou’s palm. Every single dog spiritual root would automatically master this kind of true flame after condensing a Golden Elixir.

“But your flame is not as useful as Lu Yang’s Three Flavors True Flame, right?”

Meng Jingzhou revealed a confident smile, “No, my Pure Yang True Flame is the product of a double single dog spiritual root, and it has effects that the previous Pure Yang True Flame did not have.”

The Fifth Elder curiously asked, “What is it?”

“It can enhance yang.”

“Food cooked with Pure Yang True Flame can enhance yang!”
