This remarkably consistent tone left diners who missed out on getting a table number in the first wave bewildered.
"Didn't you brag about the 'Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness Millennium Sun Juice' before? How come you've changed your tune all of a sudden?"
"What's going on? It died after being exposed to light? Didn't some fellow cultivators who ate it before say it was delicious?"
"Hmm, perhaps it's a matter of personal taste? Those fellow Daoists thought it was delicious, but is it really because their own tastes are rather unique?"
"That's possible, after all, in terms of sheer numbers, the majority of fellow cultivators say it doesn't taste good."
"You damned young master, you just wait! Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I do!"
"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Zheng? What grudge do you have against Fellow Daoist Mo Shang?"
"It's all because Young Master Mo tricked Fellow Daoist Zheng into eating at the Mountain Peak Cottage. Young Master Zheng felt cheated because the food was bad. So everyone, please listen to my advice and don't book a table."
"Whether you decide or not, I'm never deciding again. This loss is enough; I've learned my lesson the hard way!"
...
After finishing his meal, Venerable Huanfeng returned to his sect without stopping for a moment.
After venting his frustrations about the illusion, he summoned the ten most talented disciples from the sect.
Venerable Huanfeng said with a serious expression, "This trip has been very fruitful. I have 20 jars of wine here. Each of you will take 2 jars back later. Before drinking, remember to bathe and burn incense, and then go to the best place, Tingfeng Pavilion, to drink. Each jar of wine can keep you in a state of embryonic breathing for 1 hour."
"Fetal breathing...the state of fetal breathing for 1 hour?!"
The ten disciples stared wide-eyed at their master, looking on incredulously.
Venerable Huanfeng nodded, which was considered confirmation.
The eldest disciple, Mo Kaihuai, frowned slightly and said with some resistance, "Master, such a heaven-defying treasure must have accumulated a lot of poison, right?"
While the embryonic breathing realm is important, Mo Kaihuai also doesn't want to accumulate poisonous pills, ultimately hindering his pursuit of the Great Dao.
Venerable Huanfeng was very satisfied with his eldest disciple's performance and explained with a smile, "I have already tried it. Apart from a slight intoxication, there are no aftereffects or the poisoning you are worried about. If there were any poisoning, I would not have let you drink it."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, these next few days, you should settle your affairs. Next week or the week after, I'll take you on a trip. I'll broaden your horizons and show you what it means to be out of your depth and to know that there are always people more capable than you."
Mo Kaihuai looked quite unconvinced.
Having cultivated to the advanced stage of the Out-of-Body Realm over a hundred years, I am confident that I will not fall behind any genius.
Moreover, he has never taken any pills since he started cultivating. Compared with those who are sickly, he has much greater potential!
So where does the saying "there are always people better than you" come from?
Venerable Huanfeng smiled knowingly at the unconvinced expression on his eldest disciple's face.
He was naturally satisfied with this disciple, but his cultivation was too smooth, and he always thought that the heavens were the most important thing to him, which was not a good thing.
Thinking of that magical little shopkeeper, Venerable Huanfeng couldn't help but take out the Mirror Flower Water Moon again.
"Fellow Daoists, please be very careful when booking your table number. I regretted it the first time I went there and will never go a second time."
Then, he quickly opened Ye Feng's profile picture in the background and sent a private message: "Little boss, please reserve a table for me that can be booked as soon as possible! 15 people, standard price of one high-grade spirit stone!"
...
Zheng Yuan was squatting in the outhouse, gritting his teeth.
"That damned Young Master Mo, I'll never forgive him! He's a damn bastard! I trusted him so much, and he betrayed me like this! A treasure that can help you enter the Nascent Soul Realm! And it has no side effects!"
"You just wait, once I'm done with this 10-day diarrhea, I'm going to kill you!"
"Pfft... ┗|｀o′|┛ Aww~~."
In order to protect this treasure that could lead to the Nascent Soul Realm, Zheng Yuan ultimately broke his vow.
The consequences came quickly; he hadn't left the outhouse for half a day.
...
Ye Feng looked at the message on the Mirror Flower Water Moon and couldn't help but pinch his forehead.
These big shots are just as capable as people on Earth when they get going.
To reduce competition for restaurant reservations, they were really talking nonsense.
However, Ye Feng had no intention of going head-to-head with them.
Firstly, it's not worth it; after all, those people will turn around and ask me to book a table for them.
As long as the table is sold, I won't lose money.
Furthermore, the truth will eventually come out.
Other people aren't stupid. If you curse them today, they'll go again tomorrow, and then they'll curse them again on the third day.
Then who wouldn't see what's going on?
At that time, the reputation of my mountain retreat will only grow stronger.
After all, what level of cultivation level would a group of prominent figures in the cultivation world want to go to and eat at the cost of lying?
Therefore, Ye Feng was not worried at all.
Looking at the mountain of high-grade spirit stones in her Sumeru bag, she finally revealed a maternal smile.
He clapped his hands and shouted, "Time to go home! Everyone come and collect your wages!"
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so figures quickly appeared in front of Ye Feng.
Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.
Ye Feng didn't mince words. He tossed a jade slip to each person and said, "200 high-grade spirit stones each. 100 are wages, and the other 100 are our opening bonus. You can spend them however you like."
"Thank you, Junior Uncle!"
"Junior Uncle, I love you so much!"
"Junior Uncle is awesome! Junior Uncle is the most handsome!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
It was agreed that three meals a day would be provided, plus 100 high-grade spirit stones.
This is already a very generous offer.
Junior Uncle is the type to give rewards at the drop of a hat, so there's simply no better task than this.
We absolutely love it here!
Thinking about how he had beaten dozens of competitors to finally snatch this spot, he felt a pang of sadness.
Everyone felt like they'd made a huge profit.
When Ye Feng handed them dinner, they felt that this wasn't just a huge windfall; it was practically an extraordinary encounter!
Aside from the fact that the four-star dishes are made with relatively scarce ingredients, tonight's dinner is basically the same as the set meal for one person with a spirit stone!
The dozen or so disciples were so happy they were almost fainting.
He swiftly took his jade slip, found a spot, and began to feast.
"Mmm...it's so delicious!"
"Snoring."
"Slurp slurp".
The scene of more than a dozen gluttons eating together is quite spectacular.
The chopsticks were so used that they left afterimages.
Ye Feng also sat down next to them with a plate of food.
However, compared to the others, he only left a plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce and rice.
Under the brilliant sunset, amidst the laughter and chatter of the disciples, they placed shredded pork with garlic sauce on top of rice, and each bite of rice with the dish tasted exceptionally delicious.
