After finishing his meal of wild vegetables at the farmhouse, the Demon Lord wiped his mouth with satisfaction: "These wild vegetables are quite refreshing."
Master Xuanji sipped the wild mushroom soup: "It certainly has a unique flavor."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly seized the opportunity to say, "Seniors, now that we've finished eating, shouldn't we head to the Valley of Reincarnation?"
The Demon Lord stood up: "Lead the way."
"Finally, we're getting down to business!" Zhang Shaozhong excitedly led the way.
Halfway there, Master Xuanji suddenly stopped: "The scent of snow lotus here..."
The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes: "There is indeed a pleasant fragrance."
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat: "Senior, can we go to the Valley of Reincarnation first?"
Master Xuanji had already walked towards the source of the fragrance: "Snow lotus is rare. Since we have sensed it, we might as well take a look."
The Demon Lord followed up: "Agreed."
Zhang Shaozhong followed behind, feeling like crying but having no tears.
What they found was an ordinary snow lotus, which hadn't even bloomed yet. The two experts were greatly disappointed.
"Fine, let's go to the Valley of Reincarnation." The Demon Lord waved his hand listlessly.
Having finally arrived at the entrance to the Valley of Reincarnation, Zhang Shaozhong sensed a strong spatial fluctuation and quickly took out the Boundary Stone.
"Senior, please cast the spell!"
Just as the Demon Lord was about to make a move, he suddenly twitched his nose: "What's that smell?"
Master Xuanji also turned his head: "It seems to be... the aroma of roasted yak meat."
Zhang Shaozhong almost cried: "Senior! Can we get down to business first?"
The Demon Lord had already walked towards the direction of the fragrance: "Replenishing energy is not urgent."
Master Xuanji said calmly, "Performing spells on an empty stomach can easily harm the body."
As a result, we ended up sitting at a barbecue stall halfway up the mountain.
Watching the two big shots devour their food, Zhang Shaozhong said to Ling Qingxue, "I think I've figured it out now, they did it on purpose."
Ling Qingxue said helplessly, "Master and the others are indeed... different from before."
Ye Meier munched on a skewer of grilled meat: "If you ask me, we should just let them eat their fill. Once they're tired of eating, they'll naturally be willing to work."
Zhang Shaozhong sighed: "I'm afraid they'll never get tired of it."
After finishing the barbecue, it was already late. The Demon Lord let out a satisfied burp: "That's enough for today, we'll come again tomorrow."
Master Xuanji nodded: "Good."
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the Boundary Stone, which had only just begun to glow, and sighed deeply.
The next day, Zhang Shaozhong learned his lesson. He took the two big shots to Reincarnation Valley early in the morning, and even brought them some dry rations.
"Senior, we'll stay here for the whole day. We won't go back until we've replenished our energy!"
The Demon Lord frowned: "You're going to eat this?"
Master Xuanji looked at the dry rations with disdain.
Zhang Shaozhong gritted his teeth: "After completing the mission, I will treat the two seniors to the most expensive Snow Lotus Feast!"
The Demon Lord's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Master Xuanji also became interested: "A Snow Lotus Feast?"
"Yes! A full banquet made with the finest Kunlun snow lotus!" Zhang Shaozhong went all out.
The Demon Lord was satisfied: "In that case, I will put in more effort today."
Master Xuanji nodded: "Alright."
Finally, they started working seriously. The Boundary Stone lit up at a steady pace.
Halfway through the charge, the Demon Lord suddenly stopped: "Take a short break."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly handed over some water: "Thank you for your hard work, senior."
Master Xuanji closed his eyes and regulated his breathing: "The spatial power here is indeed special, containing the meaning of reincarnation."
The Demon Lord took a sip of water and suddenly said, "Since we're having a Snow Lotus Feast, why don't we finalize the menu first?"
Master Xuanji opened his eyes: "Alright. Snow lotus stewed chicken, snow lotus steamed fish, snow lotus pastries..."
Zhang Shaozhong stared in disbelief: "Senior! Can't we replenish our energy first?"
The Demon Lord shrugged: "What's the rush? Let's charge and chat at the same time."
The rest of the time turned into a food discussion. The two experts engaged in a lively discussion about the dishes of the Snow Lotus Feast, from main courses to desserts, from cooking techniques to plating design.
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the slowly lighting up Boundary Stone and completely gave up on treatment.
As evening approached, the boundary stone finally filled up.
The Demon Lord nodded in satisfaction: "A good harvest today."
Master Xuanji flicked his sleeve: "You may have your meal now."
Zhang Shaozhong led the way listlessly.
They arrived at the most expensive restaurant in town and ordered the Snow Lotus Feast. The two VIPs raved about it.
The Demon Lord sipped the snow lotus wine: "This is acceptable."
Master Xuanji sipped the snow lotus soup: "The cooking time is just right."
Zhang Shaozhong stared at the bill, his heart bleeding.
On the way back to the hotel, the Demon Lord said with lingering interest, "Tomorrow we can try other specialty dishes."
Master Xuanji checked his phone: "I heard there's a Tibetan hot pot restaurant that's pretty good."
Zhang Shaozhong said weakly, "Seniors, the Boundary Stones are full. Shouldn't we move on to the next place?"
The Demon Lord waved his hand: "What's the rush? Now that we're here, we should at least try all the local delicacies."
Master Xuanji nodded: "That makes sense."
So we stayed in the Kunlun Mountains for another five days and ate all the local delicacies.
Before leaving, the Demon Lord bought a lot of yak jerky.
Master Xuanji brought several packets of snow lotus tea.
On the plane, Zhang Shaozhong looked at the Boundary Stone, which was now fully charged with energy again, and felt a mix of emotions.
Ye Meier chuckled to herself, "At this rate, we can try all the delicacies in the country."
Ling Qingxue asked softly, "Husband, where is our next destination?"
Zhang Shaozhong checked the information: "The last location is Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. I heard that there... people there make ginseng stewed chicken."
The Demon Lord immediately sat up straight: "Ginseng stewed chicken? Thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Master Xuanji also opened his eyes: "Changbai ginseng is a supreme tonic. If it is used in cooking, it will surely be very nourishing."
Zhang Shaozhong nodded resignedly: "I guess so..."
Upon arriving at Changbai Mountain, the same scenario played out once again.
