Chapter 23: Dish Task

In the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world, Shaolin Temple.

"How is it? The Abbot and the senior brothers have been gone for a night; they should be returning soon!"

"No rush, wait a moment; they should be back shortly!"

"Sigh, it is a pity that we lack the immortal affinity and can only watch the immortal opportunity slip away!"

"……………"

Inside the main hall of the Discipline Hall, Xuan Nan, Xuan Kong, and a group of other Gao Seng gathered.

Thinking of the scene from last night, they could not help but sigh secretly.

Last night, the immortal opportunity descended, but unfortunately, only Abbot Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji were able to enter it.

They had tried as well, but there was no reaction at all.

Helpless, they could only watch as Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji disappeared.

And they could only wait here in agony.

"Hum………"

Just then, the void within the main hall twisted, and the next moment, Abbot Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji stepped out.

"Abbot, senior brother, you have finally returned!"

Seeing Abbot Xuan Ci return, the group of Gao Seng could not help but grow excited.

Their gazes, however, looked unobtrusively at what Abbot Xuan Ci was holding in his arms.

"Gulp………"

The sound of swallowing echoed; Abbot Xuan Ci, who had just returned, saw the glowing eyes of his junior brothers and knew he would not be able to leave.

"Junior brothers, do not be impatient, I have already brought it back!"

As he spoke, Abbot Xuan Ci took out the packed egg fried rice, braised eggs, and cool boiled water.

In an instant, a faint, fragrant aroma drifted throughout the entire Discipline Hall.

The group of Shaolin Gao Seng, who had been drooling just moments before, were all dumbfounded as they looked at the braised eggs and egg fried rice.

"This, this is non-vegetarian food!"

"This would be breaking the precepts!"

"………"

A few Gao Seng spoke up, while the old monk Xuan Nan and the others remained silent.

In fact, Xuan Nan was the first to pick up a spoon and take a taste of the egg fried rice.

After just one bite, Xuan Nan’s body froze, and the internal energy in his dantian began to surge.

Such a scene left the rest of the group completely stunned.

This, this is the food of an immortal?!

It is simply too terrifying!

With almost no hesitation, the group of Shaolin Gao Seng all went wild.

They began to scramble for the egg fried rice, braised eggs, and cool boiled water.

For a time, the fragrance of egg fried rice permeated the entire main hall.

Watching this scene, Abbot Xuan Ci simply folded his hands in silence and recited Buddhist scriptures.

As for Xuan Ji, his expression was strange.

As the Head of the Discipline Hall, watching his fellow disciples break the precepts right in front of him,

He only wanted to ask one thing: with them acting like this, it made things very difficult for him!

Meanwhile, in the Smiling Proud Wanderer world,

Huashan Sect, at the back mountain.

"It is truly infuriating!"

The kind smile on the face of the returning Yue Buqun instantly turned into rage.

With no outsiders present, Yue Buqun vented all his previous grievances.

"Shaolin bald donkeys, you just wait for me!"

Thinking of how he had been outdone by the Shaolin bald donkeys in terms of financial resources this time,

Yue Buqun felt his anger burning.

If it were not for the fact that his strength was not yet sufficient to contend with the various figures of the Wu Lin,

Yue Buqun would definitely have been the first to lead a raid on Shaolin.

That group of Shaolin bald donkeys is simply too rich!

"Master, you are here; I finally found you!"

Just as Yue Buqun was secretly pained by the wealth of the Shaolin bald donkeys,

Linghu Chong hurried over to the back mountain.

"Mistress sent me to find you, saying that the notice for the Five Mountains Alliance has arrived; it will be held on the third of next month!"

Jogging all the way over, Linghu Chong said, panting for breath.

Yue Buqun, who was currently in a fit of rage, felt his eyes light up the moment he heard about the Five Mountains Alliance.

He had waited so long; had it finally come!

Thinking of the Five Mountains Sword Sects united as one, a sharp glint appeared in Yue Buqun’s eyes.

Before, he had coveted the power and reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

But now, what Yue Buqun saw was endless amounts of gleaming silver!

As long as he had money, there was nothing he could not eat at the immortal’s place.

Dominating the Wu Lin was merely a matter of time.

"Hahaha, truly a heaven-sent opportunity; even the heavens want me, Yue Buqun, to dominate the Wu Lin!"

After sending Linghu Chong away, Yue Buqun could not help but laugh out loud on the back mountain.

It was not until a long time later that Yue Buqun left.

And not long after Yue Buqun left, the old man with the white beard appeared again.

This time, the old man’s gaze toward Yue Buqun had changed.

Sigh, look at the pressure on this Huashan Sect.

Such a fine child, his condition is getting worse and worse!

Of this, Yue Buqun was naturally unaware.

At this moment, he was actively preparing for the upcoming Five Mountains Alliance.

And just as everyone else was busy,

Su Mu in the gourmet shop was not left idle either.

"Ding, five customers satisfied, new dishes unlocked: Beef Ramen, Watermelon Juice!"

"Dish task initiated, please obtain Five-Colored Wagyu!"

The abrupt system notification left Su Mu completely bewildered.

After running the shop for so long, he had finally obtained new dishes.

But, system, this is too much of a pitfall.

You actually want him to go obtain the ingredients himself!

This is going too far!

"Ding, the host may refuse, and there will be no penalty!"

The system’s notification sounded again; Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then grew excited.

Refuse?

How could he possibly refuse?

Do you not see what he is selling?

This is gold he is selling!

"It is just going to slaughter a cow, piece of cake!"

Recalling the years he spent training in the system, some mere Five-Colored Wagyu was a piece of cake.

But after just one glance at the map provided by the system, Su Mu frowned slightly.

The location of that Five-Colored Wagyu was in the suburbs outside the city.

This round trip would likely take two days.

Forget it, for the sake of long-term benefits, it is just two days of profit.

He, Su Mu, can afford the loss.

Thinking of this, Su Mu walked straight into the kitchen and took the butcher knife the system gave him when he completed his training.

He looked at the other kitchen utensils, thought about it, and decided not to bring them.

After all, he was only going out for two days.

He brought some daily necessities and some food and water.

Everything prepared, he went out to drive, and posted a notice on the door about being away to source ingredients.

Su Mu drove the car, one man and one knife, heading toward the place marked by the system.

And at this moment, at the place marked by the system,

"Roar!"

A massive five-meter-tall five-colored ox was roaring, its five-colored fur shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight.

A terrifying aura spread out in all directions.

Surrounding the five-colored ox were countless ferocious beasts, currently trembling as they prostrated on the ground.

As the king of this region, the five-colored ox was the boss of all these ferocious beasts.

This beast tide targeting Tianlu City was also instigated by him.

Yet, a certain handsome fellow was unaware of all this.

In fact, that handsome fellow was currently carrying a blade, driving a car, listening to music, and heading straight for this place.
