Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yingjun finished speaking, at least seven or eight people among the group showed expressions of surprise and longing.
It was as if they couldn’t wait to go treasure hunting in the market right then and there.
Only Wan Baobao’s eyes were wide with disbelief, but after a while, as if she understood something, she rolled her eyes and pouted, yet she didn’t expose Liu Yingjun’s kind intentions.
Soon, everyone arrived at Azure Cloud Peak’s mess hall, and the path became increasingly lively.
Large numbers of Outer Sect Disciples were seen chatting in groups of two or three, constantly going in and out.
The mess hall wasn’t just one building, but seemed like a long street, with various unique restaurants lining both sides of the road.
“Today’s special: Dragon Fish from Dragon Carp Lake!
Buy two catties, get one free!
Only 200 left, first come, first served!
Guaranteed to leave you praising!”
“Spicy Spirit Rabbit!
Buy ten, get one free!
300 left, hurry if you want some!
If it’s not delicious, no Spirit Stones needed!”
“Beef Skewers!
Buy ten, get two free!
Slaughtered on the spot, absolutely no Spirit Rat meat disguised!”
Everyone felt as if they were in a Mortal market, not in a cultivation Sect amidst green mountains and clear waters.
Along the way, Outer Sect Disciples wearing special uniforms kept shouting, each with a louder voice than the last!While everyone was still dazed and hadn’t decided where to eat, they heard a series of rumbling sounds.
Clearly, the delicious aromas wafting from the various foods on this street had made their stomachs hungry, as Outer Sect Disciples still needed to eat like Mortals after all.
Several girls’ faces flushed, feeling a bit embarrassed, while the boys didn’t care, just swallowing their saliva.
They were clearly starving, or rather, craving food.
Liu Yingjun chuckled and pointed to a restaurant with many roasted red rabbits hanging at its entrance.
“The spicy Spirit Rabbit here tastes good.
Let’s eat here today.” Liu Yingjun said, then strode into the restaurant and spoke to a Grey-robed Disciple dressed as a waiter.
“Excuse me, Junior Brother, please prepare a private room on the second floor for us.
There are 15 of us in total.”
“Alright, Senior Brother, I’ll arrange it for you right away!” The Outer Sect Disciple, who looked about fifty years old like a waiter, moved swiftly, and the overwhelming worldly aura left everyone stunned. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Han Xinghua couldn’t help but lean closer to Gu Yang’s ear and ask, “Senior Brother, will we have to do this kind of work in the future?”
“Junior Sister, we still have a year.
We’ll think about it then,” Gu Yang said calmly, but in his heart, he was thinking with a bit of a complaint, ‘Is this considered a servant with magical power?’
Soon, everyone entered the private room.
Han Xinghua asked Liu Yingjun with some curiosity.
“Senior Brother Liu, why do the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters on the first floor only have Spirit Rice on their tables?
Don’t they eat dishes with their meals?”
“Is there some special rule?” Before Liu Yingjun could speak, Zhou Sanwang’s eyes lit up, and he said to Han Xinghua.
“Junior Sister Xinghua, I know this.
Let me tell you about it.”
Gu Yang turned his gaze to the somewhat excited Zhou Sanwang, muttering inwardly, ‘I know your Family has been Outer Sect Disciples for three generations, but your desire to show off is too strong.’
He seizes every opportunity to show off, as if afraid others won’t know he’s knowledgeable, and ‘Junior Sister Xinghua,’ called so intimately.
Although Gu Yang was muttering inwardly and even made a mental note of it, he also looked at Zhou Sanwang with an eager expression.
He was indeed a bit curious; although Spirit Rice tasted good, it was a bit bland.
Zhou Sanwang looked around at everyone, and only after their gazes were all focused on him did he speak.
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, most of these restaurants are leased by Families from the Sect.
The Sect stipulates that the Spirit Rice on the first floor is provided free of charge to Outer Sect Disciples, which counts as their rent.
Only ordering dishes on the second floor requires Spirit Stones.
If their dishes aren’t good and they can’t earn back the cost of the free Spirit Rice provided downstairs with their second-floor income, they will lose money.
Moreover, the contracts are for 20 years, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses.
Some Families that don’t manage their business well suffer heavy losses.
The Spirit Rice alone can bankrupt some smaller Families, and many operate by borrowing money.
So, our Outer Sect Disciples’ food is quite good.
Those that can operate here, the taste is absolutely beyond reproach.
It’s just that all these foods require self-funded Spirit Stones.”
Han Xinghua, Han Xingzhi, and Li Mei all had a look of sudden realization.
Zhou Sanwang’s mouth curved when he saw this, and just as he was about to say something else, 15 spicy rabbits were brought up by two Outer Sect Disciples, along with some other dishes Gu Yang didn’t recognize.
Gu Yang looked at the 15 spicy rabbits and felt they looked similar to the rabbits in his space.
He hadn’t Cultivated yet, so he couldn’t feel if there was a difference in the Spiritual Qi of these rabbits, but he felt that this meal probably wouldn’t be too cheap, otherwise, so many Outer Sect Disciples downstairs wouldn’t just be eating Spirit Rice and no dishes.

“Senior Brother, you’re treating us today.
Is this meal expensive?
Why don’t we treat you?”
“There’s no reason for you to treat so many of us alone!” Everyone was just about to start eating, but upon hearing Gu Yang, they stopped their actions and looked at Liu Yingjun.
Liu Yingjun waved his hand and said.
“It’s not expensive, this meal is only about 5 Spirit Stones.
Don’t be polite, meeting today is fate.
This meal is on me.
Everyone eat your fill, and if it’s not enough, order more.”
Liu Yingjun said, then picked up a rabbit, tore off a rabbit leg, and began to gnaw on it.
Seeing this, everyone no longer hesitated and began to eat as well.
Han Xingzhi, her small mouth full, mumbled.
“Wow, it smells so good.”
After a few bites, Liu Chuanjiu looked at everyone again, scratched his head, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a Storage Pouch from his bosom, handing it to Liu Yingjun.
“Senior Brother Liu, this is a Storage Pouch of Spirit Wine my Family prepared for me.
Please take out a jar for me.
I’m treating everyone to wine today.
If everyone thinks it tastes good, you can buy it from me later.”
Gu Yang felt that Liu Chuanjiu was good at business; while treating, he didn’t forget to offer a round of free drinks.
Liu Yingjun was also straightforward.
With a movement of his hand, a jar of wine appeared on the table, then with another wave, the lid of the wine jar opened directly, and then with another wave, the wine in the jar split into 15 streams, filling a cup for everyone.
Everyone looked at Liu Yingjun’s elegant display, their faces showing envy.
“Heh heh, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, no need to envy.
When you reach Qi Refining 4th Layer and can project your Divine Sense, you can also learn the Object Manipulation Spell.
In the first to third layers, you can learn some small Spells, such as the Spirit Rain Spell for planting, Fireball Technique, and so on, but your Divine Sense cannot be projected, so the aim is a bit off.”
Everyone nodded, Gu Yang felt that today was a rare opportunity to have an experienced Outer Sect Disciple answer questions on the spot, and he wanted to ask something valuable to himself.
“Senior Brother Liu, since doing missions can’t help us earn the Spirit Stones for Foundation Establishment.”
“Do you have any suggestions for us?”
