The group packed their things and walked a few steps before arriving in front of a restaurant.
The people inside were either dressed in inner or outer gate uniforms, or were dressed in fine, elegant clothes.
Someone like Ye Feng is even worse than a waiter.
Even though Ye Feng is naturally easygoing, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward at this moment.
Especially since I've never been to a place like this before, if I make a fool of myself, it will inevitably implicate my two senior brothers, and then it will be difficult to get along with them in the future.
To everyone's surprise, the two senior brothers went straight to a square table, casually put their feet up on the stools, and...
Shen Lang tapped the table.
"A plate of Xuanqing Jade Bamboo Shoots, a plate of Red Spirit Fish, and three bowls of top-quality spirit rice..."
As Shen Lang was speaking, the senior brother next to him chimed in.
"Bring me a pot of March Spring wine, and a plate of deep-fried bee eggs."
These items sounded incredibly valuable just from their names, but Ye Feng wasn't worried at all that Shen Lang would rip him off. On the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to seeing what dishes worth one hundred spirit stones would taste like.
To put it simply, one hundred spirit stones can be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver, enough to instantly turn an ordinary family into a wealthy household...
"You really only brought a hundred spirit stones? Forget about the spirit peak egg, just bring a pot of ordinary spirit tea."
After saying that, he smiled and glanced at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, not minding at all, and of course, he didn't intend to take the fall.
There are about ten tables in the restaurant's main hall, but only five tables are occupied.
Laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time.
The food was served faster than Ye Feng had expected; in less than three minutes, their dishes were served.
Before even tasting it, just smelling it twice made Ye Feng feel refreshed, and his taste buds were tingling, almost making his mouth water.
The Xuanqing Jade Bamboo Shoots were indeed like jade, emerald green and crystal clear. I don't know how they were cooked, but each slice had a slight luster, and the aroma gave me the feeling of being in a clean forest.
The red spirit fish was even more extraordinary; the braising sauce was evenly sprinkled on its body, and the scaled skin, after being deep-fried, would pop up in sections, making it look incredibly fragrant and crispy.
Especially its fish-like eyes, which weren't the dead white of a fish, but rather a crystal-clear, transparent color, like a gemstone...
"Now that you're the boss, aren't you going to offer us some food?"
Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh and offer a reminder.
"Ah...eat, eat, senior brothers, please don't be shy."
When the original owner was young, although he had eaten many good things, none of those ordinary things had such overwhelming spiritual energy.
Besides, Ye Feng inherited the memories, so it's impossible for him to remember every single meal.
Ye Feng picked up his chopsticks, but didn't know where to start. He called to the two of them and began scooping up the spiritual rice in front of him.
After swallowing a mouthful of rice, all I felt was a refreshing fragrance.
Not only that, even the elemental energy fluctuated, showing a slight increase.
Eating this bowl would probably be more effective than taking a Qi Refining Pill.
Furthermore, Qi-refining pills should not be taken frequently; generally, one pill can be taken every three to five days.
However, this spirit rice was fragrant and refreshing to eat. After swallowing it, the spiritual energy was directly converted, making the whole body feel comfortable.
The remaining small portion, flowing through the meridians, eventually converges at the fourth Huangting acupoint on the chest.
Once the Yuan energy is fully utilized, it can be lit.
"Don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables too!"
As Shen Lang spoke, he poured two cups of wine, but for Ye Feng, he poured spiritual tea.
"You drank too much of this wine. Once you reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining, you can drink less."
Ye Feng picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, ate it, and nodded.
In his previous life, he was just a lowly worker who ate a lot of takeout food and knew very little about the world's cuisines.
But now that I think about it, even if it were made more elaborately and tasted better, it probably couldn't be any better than what I'm eating now.
As for how he felt, he was at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe it...
The two senior brothers were drinking and casually eating. Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but slow down.
He raised his teacup and offered a toast to the two of them.
"Senior brothers, I haven't had a chance to introduce myself yet. My name is Ye Feng, a menial disciple from the Xuanwu District. I'd like to offer you both a cup of tea instead of wine. Thank you for speaking up for me and helping me out of this predicament today!"
Shen Lang's expression shifted slightly as he glanced at the guests who had just entered, then he laughed heartily.
"Alright, Ye Feng, you're treating us to dinner today. From now on, you're my little brother. Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything!"
"And me! My name is Lu Jiu, and I usually just enjoy a drink."
Lu Jiu's hair was even more unkempt than Shen Lang's; it was a mess, seemingly just casually gathered and held together with a wooden hairpin.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Jiu!"
"Don't let his appearance fool you; his strength is on par with mine."
"You're the ugly one. As for your skills, forget about them, I'm definitely no match for this slut."
The two joked with each other, and Ye Feng could only force a smile.
Shen Lang said this because he was worried that he might neglect Lu Jiu because of the empty title of being among the top ten, but Ye Feng was not that kind of person.
Even if that were the case, how could we dare to slight an inner sect senior brother?
Once the group started talking, the atmosphere at the table became lively.
Shen Lang and Ye Feng then began discussing some strange incidents they had encountered while on missions outside. Ye Feng occasionally chimed in, also sharing some interesting tales from the servants' quarters.
Shen Lang and Lu Jiu noticed that although he was a menial servant, he had an extraordinary way of speaking. He could make even the smallest things more interesting, and he could see beyond the surface to the essence that ordinary people could not see.
Such a person was certainly no ordinary individual. As for Ye Feng's self-deprecating remark about failing to break through to the fourth level, neither of them took it to heart.
Now that he has so many spirit stones, even if he eats a few more meals of top-grade spirit rice, it will be enough for him to break through to the fourth level in a little over two months.
Once they are promoted to the outer sect, they will surely be able to rise to prominence. For a time, the two of them did have the idea of ​​befriending each other, and began to treat Ye Feng as an equal in their conversations.
This made the atmosphere much more harmonious.
"The brothel Yihong is nothing compared to the female cultivators at Qinghe Tower; they're truly something else, though their prices aren't exactly cheap either."
At this point in Shen Lang's speech, Lu Jiu couldn't help but cough. This was a sect; if they continued to talk nonsense and word got out, the two of them would be in deep trouble.
So they immediately changed the subject and looked at Ye Feng.
"Junior Brother Ye, how did you discover that the knife was a top-grade magic weapon? We brothers have seen quite a lot, but we just couldn't recognize it."
