Chapter 1617

"Haha, feelings are cultivated slowly. Besides, you're not young anymore; it's time to find a Dao companion."

"Grandfather, you..."

"Haha."

Without giving Shi Yiyi any chance to open her mouth and refuse, Shi Qingfeng laughed loudly and walked away, leaving behind only a blushing Shi Yiyi, who was so embarrassed she was stomping her feet on the spot.

"Brother Yunxiantai, Brother Yu Mo, yo, little Ye Changqing is here too. Then I'll just say it directly: how about using wild beasts as ingredients?"

Arriving before Yunxiantai and the others, and seeing that Ye Changqing happened to be there, Shi Qingfeng spoke directly.

The group had just been discussing this matter, so naturally, they understood what Shi Qingfeng meant.

Hearing this, Ye Changqing nodded and said.

"That's fine. After all, there are quite a few dishes in the Central Continent made using wild beasts as ingredients."

"That's good. I will order people to send the wild beasts over today. Does little Ye Changqing have any specific requirements?"

In the Yunluo Sacred Land, there might not be many demonic beasts, but there is definitely no shortage of wild beasts.

Hearing Shi Qingfeng's words, before Ye Changqing could speak, Yunxiantai, Yu Mo, Qi Xiong, and the others nearby had their eyes light up.

We can even specify the ingredients? Then don't blame us for being impolite.

Immediately, Yunxiantai and the others spoke up one after another.

"No need to go to that much trouble; just get a few Emperor-grade wild beasts will do."

"Indeed, Senior Brother's words make sense."

"Not bad, not bad, just bring a few Emperor-grade wild beasts."

Listening to Yunxiantai and the others going back and forth, it was now Shi Qingfeng's turn to have his mouth twitch.

Emperor-grade wild beasts? And just "a few"? Do you think these are Chinese cabbages on the side of the street?

The classification of wild beasts is relatively simple, from low to high, divided into levels one through nine.

And above level nine are the King-grade and Emperor-grade, corresponding to the Saint and Great Saint realms of human cultivators, and the Demon King and Demon Emperor realms of the demon race.

Therefore, an Emperor-grade wild beast is equivalent to a human Great Saint expert.

These guys, the moment they opened their mouths, they asked for several Emperor-grade wild beasts, and kept saying "no need to trouble yourself"? Shi Qingfeng's eyelids were twitching as he listened.

"I say, everyone, don't you have some misunderstanding about Emperor-grade wild beasts?"

Shi Qingfeng said with a strange expression, why is it that when you say it, these Emperor-grade wild beasts sound as worthless as Chinese cabbages on the street?

However, to this, Yunxiantai said with an innocent face.

"What, don't tell me your Yunluo Sacred Land doesn't even have Emperor-grade wild beasts?"

There certainly were some. Over so many years, although Emperor-grade wild beasts were precious, the Yunluo Sacred Land had indeed accumulated three of them.

But these three Emperor-grade wild beasts had always been raised as treasures by the Yunluo Sacred Land; how could they be given away just because someone asked?

Without thinking much, Shi Qingfeng immediately prepared to refuse. His manner left no room for negotiation, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"That won't do. For my Yunluo Sacred Land, Emperor-grade wild beasts..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he heard Yunxiantai say softly.

"Sigh, then we'll just have to miss out. Originally, little Ye Changqing said that since Brother Shi is so generous, he would definitely prepare a table of delicious delicacies using these Emperor-grade wild beasts, allowing us to feast to our hearts' content. Now it seems there's no chance."

Even though he knew Yunxiantai was being sarcastic and deliberately baiting him, upon hearing these words, Shi Qingfeng couldn't help himself.

Feast to our hearts' content? This, this, this...

A flash of hesitation crossed his eyes, and then even his head-shaking slowed down. This was Ye Changqing's craftsmanship, after all.

To taste Ye Changqing's cooking, losing one Emperor-grade wild beast—it didn't seem entirely unacceptable, did it?

The thoughts in his heart changed without him realizing it.

And Yunxiantai and the others were in no rush. Watching Shi Qingfeng go from flat refusal to extreme hesitation, they all knew they had a chance.

This Emperor-grade wild beast was eight or nine parts likely to be secured.

As for "feasting to their hearts' content," stop joking; there were only so many of them. If they really got an Emperor-grade wild beast, everyone would be able to feast to their hearts' content.

As for adding Shi Qingfeng and his granddaughter, that was just a matter of two extra sets of bowls and chopsticks; it didn't matter at all.

He hadn't even realized that, unknowingly, he had been set up by Yunxiantai.

Silence, a long silence. Yunxiantai and the others just chatted about whatever they wanted, drank wine, and drank tea, ignoring Shi Qingfeng.

Until after a long while, Shi Qingfeng took the initiative to speak.

"Can we, my granddaughter and I, eat as we please?"

"That goes without saying. The ingredients are provided by you, Senior Brother; we will certainly make sure you are well-fed."

Yunxiantai put down his wine gourd and looked at Shi Qingfeng with a smile.

Receiving the reply, Shi Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Fine, you wait. I will go and bring the Emperor-grade wild beast."

After saying this, Shi Qingfeng turned and left, soon arriving at the back mountain of the Yunluo Sacred Land.

This place was considered a forbidden area of the Yunluo Sacred Land. Upon entering one of the small worlds, one immediately felt a terrifying surge of blood energy.

This small world was specially opened up by the Yunluo Sacred Land for the purpose of keeping those three Emperor-grade wild beasts.

This shows how much the Yunluo Sacred Land valued these three Emperor-grade wild beasts.

"Greetings, Ancestor."

Seeing Shi Qingfeng arrive in person, the two deacons responsible for guarding the place bowed respectfully.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Shi Qingfeng nodded slightly and then walked straight into the small world.

Naturally, the two deacons did not dare to stop him, assuming the Ancestor was just here for a casual stroll.

Until Shi Qingfeng returned, and behind him, he was leading a tall, sturdy, and massive wild ox.

This was one of the three Emperor-grade wild beasts.

Seeing this, the two deacons looked at each other suspiciously, and then one of them braced himself and asked.

"Ancestor, where are you taking it?"

"Taking it to where it belongs."

Hmm???

"What place is where it belongs?"

"What? Do I need to report to you when I do things?"

"No, no, I..."

"Do not ask about things you shouldn't."

"Yes."

Naturally, the two deacons did not dare to stop Shi Qingfeng. Although they were full of doubts and felt very strange, they could only watch helplessly as Shi Qingfeng led the Emperor-grade wild ox away.

Such a massive wild ox, passing along the way, naturally attracted the attention of many Yunluo Sacred Land disciples.

Many recognized it as that Emperor-grade wild ox, but what was the Ancestor doing? Was he bored and taking it out for a walk?

They had heard of walking dogs, and cultivators would also walk their spirit pets, but this was the first time they had ever seen someone walking a wild beast.

One could only say that the Ancestor is worthy of being the Ancestor; the way he plays is just different.

But until someone saw with their own eyes Shi Qingfeng leading this wild ox to the cave dwelling where the Dao One Sacred Land was temporarily staying, the disciples were completely confused.

"What's wrong with the Ancestor?"

"Yeah, why bring a wild ox to the Dao One Sacred Land's cave dwelling?"

"I know..."

"You know what?"

"The Ancestor wants to show off the strength of our Yunluo Sacred Land."
