The price of the boxed lunches offered by the palace shocked the cultivators.
This price is way too expensive!
A blue-robed cultivator, exuding an aura of coldness, said expressionlessly:
"One spirit stone can buy 5 catties of first-grade beast meat."
Your food costs 800 spirit stones. Could it be made with fourth-grade beast meat?
The black-clad monk cursed in dissatisfaction:
"Even if it's fourth-grade beast meat, selling it for 800 spirit stones is too expensive!"
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, I patrol every day, and my annual offerings are only 10,000 spirit stones.
"A few meals and a year's work is wasted!"
Gong Kai's mind raced with calculations, and he chuckled foolishly:
“If you accumulate 100 years of offerings, you can upgrade to a VIP member in our Spicy Palace.”
The blue-robed cultivator, emanating a chilling aura, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this:
"What power is the Spicy Palace? Aren't you from the Star Pivot Immortal Fox Clan?"
Gong Kai pulled out a flyer as tall as a person from his storage bag.
"Spicy Palace is where I work."
Spicy Palace Restaurant opens today! A boxed lunch worth 800 spirit stones is free for new members!
A brightly colored flyer with hand-drawn food illustrations.
It also lists member benefits and a member upgrade system.
The black-clad monk spat out a mouthful of saliva:
"Pah! Are you trying to rob me? A million spirit stones for food? Are you out of your mind?"
Unlike the black-robed monk's cursing.
The cultivator in blue robes remained remarkably calm. He casually took out one hundred spirit stones and handed them to Gong Kai.
"Give me a membership."
When Gong Kai saw the spirit stone, it was as if he had seen his own employee meal; he grinned from ear to ear.
"Alright, cultivator, please take this jade slip. This is your exclusive membership card."
Gong Kai took out a jade slip from his storage bag, with a wooden box hanging below it.
The membership card is already attached to the wooden box and cannot be separated.
There are 29 more sets like this in Gong Kai's storage bag.
As long as they're all sold, he'll have enough to eat this month.
The cultivator in blue raised an eyebrow upon seeing the jade slip. He entered the jade slip with his divine sense and opened his eyes after a moment.
"This jade slip is interesting; it contains inscriptions from your Star Pivot Celestial Fox."
Gong Kai nodded:
"From now on, you will be a member of my Spicy Palace. If you wish to order food, you can activate the location button on the jade slip. A dedicated person will deliver it to you."
The monk in blue nodded, but instead of opening the wooden box, he placed it directly into his storage bag.
The other cultivators who wanted to join in the fun scratched their heads and looked at him.
Why don't you open the wooden box?
"Our boss wants to show us what a lunchbox worth 800 spirit stones looks like!"
The blue-robed cultivator from Wanbing Palace swept his cold gaze across the crowd, and no one dared to speak.
Only the black-clad monks shouted:
"What are you doing? Open the wooden box and let everyone see! Why are you glaring at me? Who are you trying to scare!"
The black-robed cultivator and the blue-robed cultivator were the only two Nascent Soul cultivators present.
Only the two of them dared to talk back to each other.
The cultivator in blue handed Gong Kai another 100 spirit stones and said calmly:
“I paid for his membership and got him a membership too.”
Gong Kai chuckled as he accepted the spirit stones, then handed the black-clad cultivator a jade slip and wooden box set.
The black-clad cultivator awkwardly accepted the jade slip, then probed it with his divine sense. He commented:
"Your restaurant is quite innovative, but if the food isn't good, I won't order it again."
The two cultivators, one in black and one in green, put away the wooden box and quickly returned to the town on their flying magical artifacts.
A group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Gong Kai smiled and looked at the 12 cultivators in front of him:
"Would you like to become a member? You can exchange 100 spirit stones for a boxed meal worth 800 spirit stones, it's a great deal."
"Look at that couple from earlier, they both got it done together, don't you want to get one too?"
The remaining 12 cultivators were shocked to hear this.
"Ah? A Daoist partner?"
"What? The two of them are Daoist partners?"
Gong Kai nodded:
"Of course, they both carry each other's strong scent. They must be Daoist couples."
The twelve cultivators exchanged a knowing glance.
On ordinary days, minor conflicts frequently arise between Wanbing Palace and Hehuan Palace.
The black-clad monks often led a group to stand on the border line, hurling insults at the Wanbing Palace.
Although the cultivators of Wanbing Palace were furious, they couldn't say anything when they saw their leader's expressionless face.
Thinking about it, it turns out that these people were just playing house with the young couple!
It turns out they were also part of a game for young couples!
The 12 cultivators collectively reached into their pockets and handed over 1200 spirit stones.
"We've both signed up for memberships, but could you please not tell anyone that we're a couple?"
"Yes! We both became members, but please don't reveal their relationship in the future."
The twelve cultivators, looking pained, took out spirit stones and handed them to Gong Kai.
Gong Kai laughed so hard his eyes disappeared, and took out 12 sets of jade slips in wooden boxes.
"Welcome back again, welcome everyone! You won't regret buying from us, you won't be cheated! Look for our Star Pivot Immortal Fox Clan, look for Spicy Palace!"
Gong Kai was surprised that he had processed 14 membership cards in less than a day.
If he gets 14 tickets every day, wouldn't he be able to eat boxed lunches every day?
After the 12 cultivators entered the information into the jade slip, they lost their appetite. They put the wooden box into their storage bags and, with contorted expressions, returned to the towns in their respective territories.
For the rest of the time, Gong Kai continued to shout through the loudspeaker, but no one came.
As night fell, Gong Kai thought about his daily cultivation.
While promoting membership is important, self-cultivation cannot be stopped.
He reverted to his fox form at the border, quickly dug a burrow, and then laid a straw mat he had brought from home on it.
For demons, cultivation simply involves sleeping. Gong Kai was fast asleep in a temporary cave.
far away.
The junction of Wanbing Palace and Hehuan Hall.
In a hidden room located underground.
The most primitive war is unfolding.
The black-clad cultivator had a rosy complexion and nestled in the blue-clad cultivator's arms.
The black-clad cultivator said with some dissatisfaction:
"Why did you suddenly pay for me today? What if they become suspicious?"
The monk in blue robes feigned sleep, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.
"I've been with you for two thousand years. If we still can't advance, let's sit in meditation together and return to the heavens."
I am unwilling to continue playing the role of your enemy until my death.
What's so unspeakable about our relationship?
The black-clad monk muttered:
"I am in the Hehuan Palace, which is originally a heretical sect with a bad reputation."
If others hear that you're with me, they'll definitely talk badly about you behind your back, and I don't want you to bear that bad reputation.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber, so the black-clad monk changed the subject and took out the wooden box from his storage bag.
"Let's try this meal. I want to see just how incredibly delicious it is!"
One hour later.
Thunderclouds gathered rapidly.
Thunder rumbled and roared in the clouds, seemingly about to strike at any moment.
Gong Kai was awakened from his sleep by the lightning tribulation. He quickly gathered up his straw mat, crawled out of the cave, and fled into the distance.
Why is someone about to undergo tribulation?
It was right next to his makeshift cave!
