Chapter 2: The Charm of a Braised Egg (Please bookmark, please recommend)

Inside the gourmet shop.

"Hah, is this the food of an immortal?"

Looking at the round, plump, dark-colored braised egg before him and smelling the faint, delicate fragrance wafting toward his nose, Yue Buqun could not help but exclaim in praise.

Afterwards, he picked up the braised egg with extreme caution and moved it toward his mouth with the utmost solemnity.

"Crunch!"

He took a light bite, intending to savor the wonderful flavor, but the next moment, Yue Buqun froze completely.

The braised egg melted the moment it entered his mouth, and a fragrant energy surged straight into Yue Buqun’s dantian and sea of Qi.

Almost in an instant, the Purple Mist Divine Art, which had not made any progress for a long time, began to circulate rapidly under the influence of that fragrant energy.

The faint, fragrant energy permeated his body, causing his internal energy to circulate through his meridians automatically, like a surging river!

"This, this is an immortal item!"

Feeling his internal energy circulating even more violently than after consuming a Ten-Complete Great Replenishment Pill, Yue Buqun could not suppress the wild joy on his face.

Just this one bite of the braised egg was worth at least a year of his bitter cultivation.

Moreover, his Purple Mist Divine Art even showed signs of breaking through to the next realm!

A fortuitous encounter—no, this was definitely an immortal encounter!

At this moment, Yue Buqun no longer doubted anything else.

In his heart, he placed the small shop and the shopkeeper Su Mu directly into the ranks of immortals.

On the other side, Su Mu, who had collected the money, was speechless as he watched Yue Buqun eat the braised egg, looking as if he were moved to tears.

He did not deny that his cooking was excellent; after all, he had graduated from the system.

But mister, is it really necessary to be so emotional just from eating a braised egg?

In just this short while, your dramatic display is enough to perform a grand play!

Thinking of this, Su Mu could not help but sigh!

He must have misjudged him; with such rich emotional acting, he probably wasn't some antique enthusiast, but rather a professional actor!

It must be said, if this acting skill were in Su Mu’s past life, it would definitely be at the level of an Oscar winner!

While Su Mu was thinking this, Yue Buqun was obsessively swallowing the braised egg in small bites.

For such a precious item, he had to be exceptionally careful!

With every bite of the braised egg that entered his body, the circulation of Yue Buqun’s internal energy sped up a little more.

It took Yue Buqun a full five minutes to finish the single braised egg.

At this moment, the internal energy within Yue Buqun’s body was surging like a river, and his Purple Mist Divine Art was being pushed to its absolute limit.

Yue Buqun focused his mind, concentrating on digesting the rapidly increasing internal energy within him.

Just then, Su Mu walked over.

"Mister, drink some water, don't choke!"

Seeing Yue Buqun’s face flushed red, Su Mu was genuinely afraid he might choke to death on a braised egg.

Yue Buqun, who was busy refining his internal energy, was startled by Su Mu’s sudden words.

As soon as he opened his eyes, his gaze fell upon the plain boiled water that had been sitting to the side since earlier.

The immortal reminding me to drink water at this critical juncture must have a profound meaning!

Almost instantly, Yue Buqun made his decision.

Without hesitation, he picked up the cup and took a large gulp.

"Gulp..."

As soon as the plain water entered his mouth, a sense of coolness washed over Yue Buqun’s entire body, and the surging internal energy within him gradually became gentle under this cooling sensation.

"This is immortal water!"

Feeling the increased internal energy in his body being automatically refined by just one gulp of plain water, Yue Buqun was stunned and exclaimed in his heart.

So this was the immortal’s profound intention!

The braised egg must be paired with plain water to maximize the refinement of internal energy.

Without any hesitation, Yue Buqun picked up the cup and drank the rest of the plain water in one go.

As the cup of water entered his body, not only did his increased internal energy stabilize, but even the internal energy he had cultivated over the past decades seemed to become a bit purer.

Such a scene stunned Yue Buqun once again.

He never expected that compared to the braised egg, this overlooked plain water was the truly priceless treasure!

Carefully sensing the five years of internal energy cultivation he had gained, Yue Buqun could not help but sigh with emotion.

In just a short while, it was worth five years of his bitter cultivation!

The immortal’s food is truly terrifying!

Yue Buqun’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward the egg fried rice on the menu.

If one braised egg provided nearly five years of internal energy cultivation, then what about the egg fried rice!

Although Yue Buqun desperately wanted to shout, "Another serving of egg fried rice," he was truly short on funds!

As the Huashan Sect was a prestigious and righteous sect, he was known as the Gentleman Sword in his daily life.

Therefore, the assets of the Huashan Sect were truly too meager.

With few disciples and no side businesses, the Huashan Sect was dirt poor.

"Sigh!"

With a sigh, Yue Buqun hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he did not ask for a serving of egg fried rice.

He was not the only one in the Huashan Sect; others had to live too!

"Shopkeeper, please, another braised egg!"

Thinking of his increased internal energy, he couldn't afford the egg fried rice for now, but if he gritted his teeth, the Huashan Sect’s finances should be able to support another braised egg.

"The shop's rule: one order per person per day!" Seeing that Yue Buqun wanted another braised egg, Su Mu really wanted to agree; after all, there weren't many rich fools like this left.

But the system’s rule was that each person was limited to one order per dish per day!

Su Mu was also very helpless regarding the system’s regulations.

"Sigh, then thank you, shopkeeper!"

Hearing Su Mu mention the limit, Yue Buqun sighed with slight disappointment.

He naturally felt that Su Mu’s rules were a matter of course.

To be granted such an immortal encounter was already an supreme honor.

Yue Buqun naturally accepted such a minor rule with joy.

It was just that he felt a trace of disappointment for not being able to buy another braised egg.

Looking at the menu again, flames ignited in Yue Buqun’s eyes!

No, after returning, he must work hard to make money!

Next time he comes, he must eat the egg fried rice!

To hell with being the leader of the Five Mountains!

Once he, Yue Buqun, eats braised eggs and drinks plain water every day, he could beat Zuo Lengchan with one hand!

Carrying a burning fire in his heart, Yue Buqun walked out of the shop.

And Su Mu, watching Yue Buqun’s back, was also left clicking his tongue in wonder.

Look at the manners of these rich people!

Not only did he eat a sky-high priced braised egg, but he even thanked him!

Truly a rare sight in a lifetime!
