Zhang Shaozhong quickly stopped him: "Senior! We can only go there once the Boundary Stone is fully charged with energy! We can't go now!"
The Demon Lord stared at him suspiciously: "Boy, are you trying to deceive me?"
Master Xuanji narrowed his eyes: "If there is any falsehood, you will bear the consequences."
Zhang Shaozhong forced a smile and said, "It's absolutely true! That place is protected by a spatial barrier, and only a boundary stone filled with energy can open the passage!"
Ye Mei'er chimed in from the side, "That's right! I can vouch for it! The food there is so delicious you could swallow your tongue!"
Ling Qingxue nodded gently: "Master, that's true."
The Demon Lord was skeptical, but still sat back down: "In that case, add another 20% of your strength tomorrow."
Master Xuanji added: "If there is still no effect after three days, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Shaozhong wiped away a bead of cold sweat: "Definitely, definitely!"
The next day, the two powerful figures indeed exerted a bit more effort. The Boundary Stone lit up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Shaozhong was secretly delighted; this trick really worked!
Halfway through the charge, the Demon Lord suddenly stopped: "That's enough for today."
Zhang Shaozhong said anxiously, "Senior, it's still early!"
The Demon Lord said matter-of-factly, "The path of cultivation requires a balance of exertion and relaxation. I've already expended 20% more energy today than yesterday, so I need to replenish my strength."
Master Xuanji had already stood up: "A new shabu-shabu restaurant has opened in the east of the city, and I've heard it's quite good."
Zhang Shaozhong had no choice but to go eat with them.
During the meal, the Demon Lord asked while eating pilaf, "What are the specific characteristics of a Michelin three-star restaurant?"
Zhang Shaozhong could only continue to fabricate: "It is said that every dish is like a work of art, using rare ingredients from around the world, and the cooking techniques are unparalleled."
Master Xuanji asked with interest, "Are there any ingredients that contain spiritual energy?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's said that there are even things that can improve one's cultivation level!" Zhang Shaozhong seized the opportunity.
The Demon Lord's blood-red eyes lit up: "In that case, we'll put in more effort tomorrow."
Over the next two days, lured by the promise of a Michelin three-star restaurant, the two bigwigs certainly put in a lot of effort.
One of the boundary stones was already seventy percent lit.
On the third night, the Demon Lord suddenly said, "Tomorrow you will be full of energy, so get some rest tonight."
Zhang Shaozhong nodded happily: "Great! It's finally almost finished!"
Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord continued, "Since we can go to that Michelin three-star restaurant tomorrow, why don't we try the last few local specialties tonight?"
Master Xuanji agreed: "Good. I've heard there's a place that makes really good roasted camel."
Zhang Shaozhong: "..."
So that night we went out for roasted camel again.
On the morning of the fourth day, the group arrived in the desert. The Boundary Stone only had 30% of its energy left to replenish.
The Demon Lord stretched his limbs: "Let's go all out today!"
Master Xuanji also assumed a stance: "Alright."
Zhang Shaozhong looked on with anticipation.
Two hours later, the Boundary Stone finally lit up completely, emitting a gentle spatial fluctuation.
"We succeeded!" Zhang Shaozhong excitedly picked up the Boundary Stone.
The Demon Lord reached out his hand: "Now that it's full, quickly open the passage and go to that Michelin three-star restaurant."
Master Xuanji also watched expectantly.
Zhang Shaozhong was dumbfounded. Where was he supposed to conjure up a Michelin three-star restaurant?
“This… senior, actually…” Zhang Shaozhong stammered.
The Demon Lord's eyes turned cold: "You dare to lie to me?"
Xuanji Zhenren's body surged with pure energy: "It seems you're tired of living."
Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Ling Qingxue hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, please calm down! My husband did not mean to deceive me. He just... just wanted to encourage the two seniors to complete the charging of the Boundary Stone as soon as possible."
Ye Meier quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Exactly! And I know a restaurant that, while not a Michelin three-star establishment, is definitely delicious!"
The Demon Lord sneered, "If this were an ordinary restaurant, I would definitely make you pay!"
Master Xuanji flicked his sleeve: "Lead the way!"
Zhang Shaozhong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found a high-end restaurant with the highest rating online.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the Demon Lord surveyed the surroundings and remarked, "It's acceptable."
Master Xuanji nodded: "It is indeed more elaborate than the previous ones."
When ordering, Zhang Shaozhong specifically ordered the most expensive dishes.
The Demon Lord took a bite of the black truffle steak and nodded: "This is acceptable."
Master Xuanji sipped the French foie gras and commented, "The texture is delicate, and the cooking time is precise."
Seeing that the two big shots were satisfied, Zhang Shao was finally relieved.
After the meal, the Demon Lord wiped his mouth and said, "Although it's not as good as a Michelin three-star restaurant, it's still barely palatable."
Master Xuanji said calmly, "This will not be repeated."
Zhang Shaozhong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Back at the hotel, Zhang Shaozhong looked at the energy-filled Boundary Stone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, the first Boundary Stone has been filled." He said to Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier.
Ye Meier pouted: "If we hadn't used food to trick them, who knows how long it would have dragged on."
Ling Qingxue sighed softly, "Master and the others... are indeed very different from before."
The next day, the group prepared to leave the Western Regions.
The Demon Lord was still thinking, "I haven't tried the baked buns from that shop yet."
Xuanji Zhenren checked his phone: "I heard there's a good shop at the airport."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly said, "Seniors, the Boundary Stone is now full of energy. We should move on to the next place."
The Demon Lord said with dissatisfaction, "What's the rush? We've come all this way, we should at least try all the local delicacies."
Master Xuanji nodded: "That makes sense. Where is the next location? Is there anything good to eat?"
Zhang Shaozhong said helplessly, "Next is Donghai Guixu. I heard the seafood there is pretty good."
The Demon Lord's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, then we can go."
