Chapter 574 Master and Disciple Dining Together
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang walked out of the mansion side by side.
Today, Sang Yunchu happened to be spending time with Jiang Chongguang instead of refining pills.
The two have been cultivating their relationship, but neither of them seems to be in a hurry. They've been taking it slow, and so far, their feelings for each other have only visibly deepened, yet they still haven't gotten married.
However, in Zhong Cai's opinion, the two masters seemed to be enjoying the current ambiguous relationship.
After the two masters came out, they met Zhong Wufu and the enormous scorpion.
Sang Yunchu recognized her as well, and slightly raised her delicate eyebrows.
"Cai'er, is this the delicious food you prepared for your teacher?"
Zhong Cai nodded readily.
Jiang Chongguang said cheerfully, "It is indeed delicious."
Afterwards, Sang Yunchu waved his hand, summoning several puppets to invite the spirit chef and to follow his instructions to process the giant scorpion, a delicacy. Each sect leader has a spirit chef stationed in the mountains if needed, to serve them promptly when required. The difference between a spirit chef and an ordinary cook is that a spirit chef has a cultivation level and can process ingredients of different grades.
One of the puppets was separated and quickly left.
Not long after, he returned in a car with a spiritual chef.
At this time, Zhong Wu and Sang Jiang had already returned to their residence.
·
The master and his disciples sat down and drank tea.
Zhong Cai took out two beast sacs and handed them to his two masters.
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang took it and probed it with their spiritual senses.
Inside each beast sac were two lively, eighth-tier giant scorpions, and three seventh-tier ones.
There are ten in total.
·
When they returned, there were a total of twenty-seven giant scorpions left. Apart from those that were being cooked, there were eight level eight scorpions and eighteen level seven scorpions left.
The total amount that Zhong Wufu kept for himself was the same as the total amount he gave to his two masters.
There are still six seventh-tier ones left.
The redistribution is simple: two for the thirteenth mountain range and two for the one hundred and twenty-fifth hall—they just need to put them in the internal mission hall/mission hall, and the puppets will turn them on and off so that the disciples can come and buy them with points or mystic stones.
The remaining two were hung on the Danwu Heavenly Curtain and left for the other disciples of the two factions to purchase.
Its price is ten times that of other beasts of the same level. For a beast of the delicacy level, this price is actually very cheap. Moreover, because the giant scorpion's energy is not much higher than that of other beasts of the same level, and it is simply because it tastes good, it originally could not be sold at a very high price.
·
After Sang Jiang and her companion looked at the scorpions in the beast scabbard, they were initially pleased that their disciple had remembered them, but then they subconsciously exchanged a glance.
[Senior Brother Jiang, it's time for us to go out and gain some experience.]
【What Junior Brother Sang said is quite right.】
Although the two still possess some hidden treasures that might be somewhat useful to their disciples—they could give them some later—it must be said that in just over a hundred years, their disciples have surpassed them, their masters, in both alchemy (Zhong Cai's) skills and martial arts (Wu Shaogan's). Therefore, the only assistance they can offer is the experience of living an extra two hundred years.
The delicacies that the two disciples casually gave them were already quite rare. If they wanted to take care of the disciples any further, they might as well go out for a walk and see if they could find anything else that could be used.
...It wouldn't be good if I were to only ever receive offerings from my disciples, would it?
In the past, Sang Yunchu could give back to his disciples by refining a few high-level pills and Jiang Chongguang could hunt a few high-level savage beasts.
But things are different now.
The Zhong and Wu couple could easily obtain level-eight pills and rank-eight beasts, and the quality would be even better.
This puts a lot of pressure on the mentor.
However, once the level is high, even if Sang Jiang and the other person want to break through as quickly as possible, it will be difficult to do so.
So what they can do now is try their best to reach the Tongtian realm as well, so that they can help their disciples when needed and do some... odd jobs?
Both Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang felt a little helpless.
·
After Zhong Cai gave him the gifts, she recounted Wu Dongxiao's new experiences as if they were a story.
Sang Jiang and the other woman listened with smiles on their faces.
Before long, the various giant scorpion dishes, carefully prepared by the spirit chef, were served one by one.
There are over a hundred dishes, each different and all packed with energy.
The master and his disciples ate and chatted.
Previously, the Zhong and Wu couple had already found the giant scorpion delicious simply roasted, but now, eating it prepared with such skillful hands, the flavor was several times better, making it even more irresistible.
This chef's skills are truly remarkable. He can create so many different dishes in one go, and he has also cleverly sealed the energy in the scorpion meat within the ingredients, without any leakage or waste.
Zhong Cai enjoyed the meal very much, but felt that she couldn't just cook whatever she wanted anymore; she should have the master chef do it again...
·
After enjoying the food and drinks, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong returned to Qianyuan Island after spending an afternoon in the Canglong Mountains.
Although the two opened their meridians and temples, they usually lived on Lianli Island and only went to their new territory when they needed to "preach".
The disciples on both sides understood that it was almost impossible to see Master Zhong/Palace Master Wu under normal circumstances.
On that day, they suddenly received a message.
"What?! Emperor Zhong Dan and Emperor Wu Dou arrived earlier? A small general store opened in the Mission Hall? Did I hear that right?"
"Senior Brother Liu, you heard right, they really did open a general store, and I heard that a delicacy-level scorpion meat trade will be held there today. It's said that Emperor Zhongdan and Emperor Wudou personally hunted them and then allocated some to the sect. There are two seventh-tier scorpions in our mountain range and the 125th Hall! It's said that one will be sold today and another tomorrow. The former is said to be for those with good luck and connections to buy them earlier, while the latter is to give fellow disciples with less information time to get the news and raise money..."
"Junior Brother Xu, you're really well-informed! Thank you for letting me know!"
"I know about that too. The delicacy-level scorpion meat is that kind that can lie in the sand and likes to attack people, what's that again? Never mind, but I know it must taste delicious!"
"We might not have another chance like this in the future, let's go and take a look!"
In an instant, disciples from both sides rushed to the mission hall, fearing that if they arrived too late, they would miss out on the opportunity.
It should be noted that while seventh-tier savage beasts may not be much to Nirvana cultivators, they are extremely difficult to kill for Spirit Transformation cultivators. The Zhong and Wu couple seemed to deal with those giant scorpions with ease, but in reality, they were only easy to deal with for Wu Shaogan. If it were another ordinary Nirvana cultivator, they might die in the mouth of the giant scorpions!
Normally, it is not easy for disciples to obtain level 7 beast resources. Even though they can always buy them on the Danwu Heavenly Canopy, cultivators who really want to buy them but whose cultivation level is not high enough often do not have enough "money" to trade, or even if they do have it, they are reluctant to part with it.
I've never even tasted delicacies like that.
This time it's different; when it's divided, it's sold entirely by the "jin" (a unit of weight, approximately 500 grams).
Even if you're short on "money," and even if this meat is several times more expensive than usual, it's more than enough to buy a pound or two to enjoy the delicacy of wild beast meat.
...While these disciples were discussing, they did not slow down their pace at all.
·
Around that time, Danwu Sky Screen was updated.
What's for sale is the meat of two seventh-tier giant scorpions, and each pound is quite expensive. If you don't have enough money, you should take this opportunity to quickly raise some. Also, only one person can log in from the same address, and each person is limited to buying a maximum of five pounds.
Many disciples inadvertently clicked into that section of the trading area and saw that this thing was online. Moreover, the information recorded in the "product introduction" was very clear, which aroused the covetousness of many disciples.
If you're craving something, you'll naturally want to buy it.
Although the purchase restrictions may have frustrated some wealthy disciples, for those who are not so wealthy, this means a significant increase in opportunities.
This is a delicacy!
They might not meet them even if they spend their whole lives, and even if they do, they might not be able to kill them. Now is the time to eat!
As a result, quite a few disciples managed to snatch their own five catties of scorpion meat.
The two scorpions were actually enormous, each several meters tall, like a moving small mountain.
There is naturally a considerable amount of scorpion meat that can be separated.
Therefore, in the end, the number of disciples that could be purchased was in the thousands.
After buying the food, the disciples would either cook it themselves or hand it over to a fellow disciple with good cooking skills, and then immediately devour it.
That was so...delicious!

On the forum.
[OP: Is anyone else still unable to buy scorpion meat? I haven't! I heard it's incredibly delicious. Is there anyone from the same sect who has managed to buy some and is willing to sell some? I'm willing to pay a high price! Double the price!]
[Exploded and destroyed: Who would sell the scorpion meat they finally managed to snatch? It's hard enough to snatch it, let alone lose their appetite?]
[Fried until it blooms: Exactly! I wouldn't sell it! I just tried it, it's incredibly delicious! Whether you eat it raw or cooked.]
[Martial Arts Nine Heavens: You can eat this thing raw? Raw is raw, no matter how good the meat is!]
[Flying Sky: Actually, it tastes pretty good raw, I ate a pound of it in no time...]
[Martial Universe: Speaking of which! I heard that Wu Douhuang and Zhong Danhuang hunted these giant scorpions together. Judging from the fact that they split into several groups, they must have hunted quite a few, right?]
[Martial Arts Battle in the Heavens: Zhong Danhuang's mountain range and the 125th Palace are luckier than us. Not only are there fewer people, but they also received the same total as us. Moreover, the Danwu Heavenly Curtain doesn't restrict them from buying our items. It's truly enviable!]
[Bombed Senior Brother: Yeah! There are so many of us from both families! The 125th Palace only has a little over 10,000, and Zhong Danhuang's mountain range has even fewer, maybe only a few hundred at most? As long as they can afford the price, they can buy as many as they want, there's no limit!]
[Exploding Heaven: I'm envious too, but what can we do if we're not under their command?]
[Martial Arts in the Azure Sky: Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. But those two are truly amazing. They managed to find so many Blood-Eyed Sand Scorpions, a delicacy-level treasure. And I heard they were actually captured alive! When they were sent to their side to be cut up and hung on the sky, both scorpions were still alive!]
[Exploding the Sky: Indeed, that's incredibly powerful...]
