Leng Jian's eyes widened, fearing that a lack of knowledge about spiritual herbs would result in the loss of such a large amount of cultivation resources.

"The Mushroom God Feast is quite famous. We have no shortage of Mushroom God grass, manpower and resources. You don't have any other ideas."

Mr. Chen analyzed the situation and found that all conditions were ripe. As long as a suitable path was found, the Junshen Grass in the Shiling Secret Realm would be able to produce huge benefits.

"Medicinal food? Restaurant?"

Ling Jian understood what was meant and nodded silently. The name of the Mushroom God Banquet was impressive enough. He could imagine that as long as such a restaurant was launched, it would be a great success and would do well in the future.

“We’re afraid we can’t get it.”

Su Lin was tempted, but explained the difficulties. These people were good at fighting and killing, but they were not good at running a business.

Moreover, the medicinal food at the Mushroom God Banquet is the most difficult of all, and requires a "master" to preside over it, otherwise it will be impossible to handle it.

"As for the medicinal food, I will find a way. As for the business, I think no one will mess with the Dark Blade's reputation. It won't be difficult to find a shopkeeper."

Mr. Chen is not a master of medicinal diet, but medicinal diet involves alchemy, and Junshencao is a magical herb, so there is naturally a way.

The so-called medicinal food can be regarded as a simple elixir, but in order to satisfy the appetite, the taste must be good.

So, what he needs to do is to balance the relationship between the ingredients and the spiritual herbs, stimulate their energy and taste, and let the diners eat them to achieve the dual satisfaction of appetite and cultivation.

"Daoyou Chen's proposal is hard to refuse."

Ling Jian was convinced that the vision presented by Mr. Chen was very beautiful, highly feasible, and had the conditions to be realized.

"If it works, you and I will share it among the three of us."

Su Lin is a sensible man. Mr. Chen is responsible for mediating the two parties and will also be responsible for the crucial medicinal food in the future. He cannot be foolishly excluded and must be brought in.

"Okay, you guys will choose the location of the restaurant and arrange the staffing, but it must be worthy of the grandeur of the Fungus God Banquet."

Mr. Chen nodded and gave orders to the second and third teams. He behaved calmly and had the dignity of a natural superior.

Among them, he also had another plan, which was to build the Dark Blade's intelligence network based on the restaurant.

Of course, it is still an idea now, still in ambiguity, and is just a move in vain.

“This is easy.”

Ling Jian didn't think it was strange, so he agreed and decided to find a fairy city and put on a grand ceremony.

"I'll trouble you, Brother Chen, for the medicinal food at the Fungus God Banquet."

Su Lin bowed. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, except for Chen Sheng's medicinal food.

"Don't worry."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

…

Shiling Secret Realm.

The stone forest is continuous and there is no green. In the cracks between the stones, there grows a group of plump, fungus-like creatures. They are gray in color, with a soft skin and a faint fragrance.

"It is just as recorded in the classics. It tastes sweet and has a unique fragrance."

Chen Sheng crouched down, gently pulled up a plant of Junshen Grass, looked at it carefully, smelled it, then tore off a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The taste is wonderful, and it can nourish the body and replenish energy. No wonder it is so popular among so many people.

"How should I match it?"

Mr. Chen took a look at the mountains full of Mushroom God Grass, which were in considerable quantities. He sat down on the ground casually, thinking about how to develop the Mushroom God Banquet.

First, he started from the alchemy book and found the spiritual herbs that went well with the Junshen Grass and circled them in a row.

Then, he recalled the taste of various ingredients. Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and experienced. He had been in a high position for many years and had not deliberately searched for them, but he had tasted a lot of precious things.

This is the foundation. Without this experience and knowledge, he would not dare to take on this responsibility.

After that, it’s time to match the spiritual herbs and food ingredients.

It must not only follow pharmacological changes, but also satisfy the enjoyment of taste, and its appearance must be natural and comfortable.

Ordinary alchemists may not be able to cope with it and achieve balance.

Mr. Chen thought about it again and again, took out paper and pen, and wrote the recipes in a booklet. Slowly, he accumulated a thin booklet.

After finishing all this, he finalized the idea, deleted and reduced some of the medicinal food recipes, and finally completed the first version.

It is definitely necessary to add more, but there is no need to be too urgent.

"Why are there so many mushroom grasses all over the mountain?"

After solving the first priority, Chen Sheng calmed down, and glanced at the mushrooms and magical herbs all over the mountain, with an inquisitive mind.

The Junshen Grass is almost extinct in the outside world, but it grows very well in the Shiling Secret Realm. There must be a reason for it.

He walked along, analyzing the reasons, and discovered that there were extremely rich minerals in the Shiling Secret Realm. The Junshen Grass grew in the cracks of the rocks, absorbing the energy of the minerals.

The reason has been found.

He pondered another question.

Can Junshencao be grown outside?

It's not possible now, but it may be possible in the future. The root lies in the minerals in the Shiling Secret Realm. If we analyze them successfully, we can replicate a medicinal garden for growing the God of Fungi grass.

"He's running up the mountain to see the wood."

There was a familiar, cold and hard explosion sound in the Shiling Secret Realm, like a wind knife blowing through the stone forest, all very hard.

Mr. Chen turned around and saw an old figure. It was the warden, wearing a black robe and white hair. Although he was not young, he stood straight as if he could hold up the sky.

"Isn't that why you asked me to mediate? I took on this job again."

He explained the reason. It was not easy to mediate the conflict between the second team and the third team. In order to achieve perfection, he had to put in more effort.

"This is the Junshen Grass."

The warden smiled bitterly. Decentralization of power is what many people dream of, but Chen Sheng was complaining. He was helpless and said, "You have an idea for your Fungus God Feast."

The warden had already known the solution to the conflict between the two teams. He himself did not have much appetite, but since the matter was handled by Mr. Chen, he was somewhat interested.

“It’s not a big problem.”

Mr. Chen looked indifferent as he took out the small notebook of medicinal diet, which had already achieved considerable results.

"It seems to be quite powerful."

The warden flipped through two pages and couldn't understand much of what was said, but the little he did understand revealed that there were no mistakes or omissions and that the text was full of substance.

"Hahaha……"

Chen Sheng smiled. He didn't want to flatter himself, but the contents of this little book could indeed serve as the foundation of a cultivation family. "Chen..."

Ling Jian came to see Chen Sheng to discuss something. He entered the Shiling Secret Realm and saw the second figure. He glared and whispered, "Warden?"

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he looked a few more times, but the man still looked the same as he remembered.

"Really, Warden? This is too intimate."

Ling Jian identified the person and was immediately filled with envy. It was obvious that the warden and Mr. Chen had a really good relationship and they could chat and laugh with each other without any problems.

They have never received such treatment. In their impression, the warden is cold and hard as iron, full of majesty, so who would dare to joke?

"It seems that I need to be more respectful and polite."

He thought of a rumor in the Black Abyss Prison that the next warden had already been decided. He originally thought it was just hearsay, but it turned out to be a test of public opinion.

He will keep this news confidential and increase his investment in Mr. Chen.

Silently, Ling Jian left.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chen Sheng and the warden left the Shiling Secret Realm side by side.

…

Bibotan.

The water in the pond is clear and cool like ice. Even when looking at the scorching sun, you can see a thin layer of frost crawling on the edge of the pond, which is quite magical.

Next to him, there was a fisherman, who looked middle-aged, wearing a bamboo hat and a bamboo pole, fishing in the Shentan Pond with a leisurely look.

"Where did this mercury fish go?"

Liu Ye wanted to curse. The mercury fish in the Bibotan Lake contained surging spiritual energy and was extremely precious. Catching one was equivalent to one or two months of hard work.

However, this mercury fish is also very alert and difficult to catch. He has been trying for half a month but still has no catch. It is really miserable.

"Whoosh"

Two figures floated down, their movements gentle and graceful, like wisps of smoke hanging from the clouds, without a trace of fireworks.

The faces of the two people were reflected in the pool, one was young and the other was old, both were wearing black robes.

"You two, the fishing situation is difficult, don't waste time."

Liu Ye knew the visitor's intention without thinking. Many cultivators wanted to make a small fortune by fishing for mercury fish, but usually left disappointed.

The recent fishing situation was even more difficult, and even he, a veteran angler, could hardly stand it anymore, so he advised the two men to go back and not waste their efforts.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I want to give it a try."

Mr. Chen saw that Liu Ye's realm was not high and he had not reached the foundation-building stage, but he was a kind-hearted person and responded politely.

"I'm already here."

The warden knew that the fishing situation should be difficult, but he couldn't go back home after walking all the way without resting.

"please."

Liu Ye stopped trying to persuade him, and what the old man said was indeed classic. Since he was already here, he should at least throw two clubs.

He silently moved a little to give the two of them a comfortable place.

Mr. Chen and the warden noticed this and smiled at each other. A small kindness that one encounters accidentally can always make people happy.

“Plop…”

Chen Sheng took out two fishing rods, gave one to the warden, and held the other in his hand. He hung a small piece of Jun Shencao on the hook and gently swung it out.

“The bait casting motion is very rusty.”

Liu Ye took a look and knew that Chen Sheng was a novice. His movements were clumsy and the fishing line he threw out was not straight at all. It was twisted and not smooth at all.

“You’re too crude.”

The warden muttered, the fishing rod was made of a bamboo that could be found everywhere, it had just been broken off and was green, with a fishing line tied to it with a hook, and then it was gone.

"All masters are like this."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

"Yeah."

The warden looked sideways and saw Chen Sheng sitting cross-legged by the pond. He had a serene look on his face, a clear mind, and an air of ease all over his body, which perfectly matched the fishing rod in his hand.

He nodded slightly, believed it, and started fishing.

Liu Ye curled his lips secretly when he heard this. These newbies always loved to talk at length. In his opinion, they were just trying to be stubborn.

The reeds in front of him were not floating, and he knew that the fishing situation was difficult. He looked around and suddenly saw the tip of the fishing rod on the other side move. He couldn't help but hurriedly said, "It's bitten! Lift the rod!"

He looked so excited, as if he had caught a fish. It was obvious that he was a seasoned angler. He was quite calm and not jealous.

"Whoosh"

Mr. Chen felt a pulling force on his hand and lifted the rod. Amid the rippling water, a three-finger-wide mercury fish was struggling and leaping in the air, extremely active.

"There are three or two..."

He untied the mercury fish, weighed it, put it in a bamboo basket, and placed it beside the pond. With the water soaking it would not turn white quickly.

"I'm so envious."

There was a flash of envy in Liu Ye's eyes. A mercury fish weighing one or two taels was already pretty good. Chen Sheng's fish weighed more than three taels and was extremely valuable. It was probably worth half a year's hard work.

However, he had no other thoughts. He just felt that the fishing conditions were good and he could open the business.

"I took the bait, too."

The warden also felt that the power transmitted from the fishing rod was very special, and had a breath of life.

"Whoosh"

He raised his hand and a mercury fish broke out of the water. Its fur was extremely beautiful, as crystal clear as frost and snow, and its body was even bigger than the one Chen Sheng had caught before.

"Newbie?! Newbie aura."

When Liu Ye saw this scene, he almost cried and his mentality was a little broken. It was too metaphysical. He was also experienced in fishing. He had come early and waited for more than ten days, but there was still no movement.

Mr. Chen and his friend had only been there for a short while when they both won the game. They were so lucky.

Next up…

Mr. Chen and the warden caught fish one after another. In less than half an hour, the fish basket was already noisy and crowded.

Liu Ye was stunned on the side, feeling like he was being left out in the cold. Every time the mercury fish struggled to break out of the water, it was like a slap in his face. All his experience and fishing skills were useless in the face of metaphysics.

"That's enough. If you keep fishing, it will be annoying."

Chen Sheng put away his pole. He and the warden were there to make a living, while Liu Ye, a casual cultivator, was there to survive. It would be really bad if they destroyed the foundation of the Bishuitan Lake.

The warden had no objection, although he thought the fish was addictive, the logic was sound.

"No, I won't."

Liu Ye shook his head. Although he was envious and a little helpless, the Bishuitan Pond had no owner and the mercury fish were raised there naturally. It was really not his turn to make decisions.

"You are content with what you have."

The warden praised Liu Ye for not rejecting him or saying much after arriving at Bibotan, and he even reminded people when a mercury fish took the bait.

These are all reactions made when Liu Ye had nothing to show for it. He can really be said to be open-minded.

"When fishing, you need to have a good attitude."

Liu Ye was somewhat pleased with this. A lot of people came and went in Bibotan, and he benefited the most from it. However, he was peaceful and understood the true meaning of fishing.

"This is for you."

The warden nodded, gave half of the mushroom grass in his hand to Liu Ye, and without explaining, he floated away side by side with Chen Sheng.

"The two of them used this to catch mercury fish?"

Liu Ye watched the two men leave, then came back to guard the pond, but this time the bait was some Jun Shen Cao.

"Whoosh"

This time, the fish hook moved in less than ten breaths after it entered the water.

He hurriedly lifted the rod and unexpectedly pulled up a half-pound mercury fish, which directly broke his record for the weight of a single fish.

"Hahaha, that's what I was wondering, why didn't I catch any fish? It turns out their bait is extraordinary."

Liu Ye was overjoyed, feeling both rich and relieved. It was not because Chen Sheng and his companions were good at fishing, but because the hook and bait were truly extraordinary.

He carefully put away the remaining Junshen grass and suddenly wanted to slap himself twice. It was obvious that he had met a master. At this time, he was still thinking about fishing. He was really hopeless.
