Chapter 649

"Could it be related to the Daoyi Sect?"

"Perhaps. Doesn't the Buddhist sect always want the qualification to preach in new territories?"

"You mean currying favor with the Daoyi Sect?"

"Very likely. After all, this matter requires the Daoyi Sect's nod."

"Hmph, they need our nod too! The Putuo Temple values the Daoyi Sect too much. They haven't come to our two major sects even once in the last few days. Do they really think that by handling the Daoyi Sect, they can handle this matter? If our three major sects don't agree, their Buddhist sect won't succeed either."

"Exactly."

The Putuo Temple's actions were very strange.

However, after the task was issued, quite a few disciples accepted it.

Most of them were disciples who knew the secret of the Daoyi Sect's kitchen; of course, there were also some who didn't know and just purely valued the sect points.

They only wanted the sect points; as for the "qualification to compete for a meal at the Daoyi Sect's kitchen," they didn't take it to heart at all.

But for the reward they deemed worthless, in the eyes of others, it was the most precious thing—even more precious than sect points.

This led to some disciples who had hunted demon beasts being surrounded by a group of fellow disciples as soon as they returned to the temple.

"Senior Brother, you had quite a harvest today, didn't you?"

"Not bad, I got a Silver-Backed Bear."

"Oh, is Senior Brother interested in trading it to me?"

"How do you want to trade?"

"I'll transfer the sect points directly to you, and you hand the Silver-Backed Bear to me. Anyway, Senior Brother probably doesn't care for that Daoyi Sect meal competition qualification, right?"

"Hmm, that's not impossible, but Junior Brother, why are you doing this?"

Hunting demon beasts is for the sect points, right? Now you give me sect points and take the Silver-Backed Bear back—what's the meaning of this?

Just for that Daoyi Sect meal competition qualification?

The disciple was somewhat confused, but under the temptation of high sect points, he eventually agreed.

And the Junior Brother who obtained the Silver-Backed Bear left in high spirits. *Hehe, now I have the qualification. *

Sect points? Who cares about sect points? They only wanted to eat!

Otherwise, wouldn't the Buddhist heart have been recast in vain?

Over the next few days, the Putuo Temple disciples went completely crazy, and more and more people came to the Daoyi Sect's station to eat.

Most of them were Putuo Temple disciples.

There were the regulars, and there were the curious newcomers.

They didn't know what the sect's reward of a "meal competition qualification" meant, so after obtaining ingredients, they came specifically to take a look.

But it would have been better if they hadn't looked; upon seeing it, these disciples were also completely conquered.

They regretted their previous ignorance.

Especially those who had sold ingredients to other fellow disciples—they were even more so.

Just like now, a Senior Brother was pulling his own Junior Brother, his eyes full of anger.

"Junior Brother, did you lie to me?"

"Senior Brother, what are you saying? Where did I lie to you?"

"When you bought my ingredients last time."

"Does that have anything to do with it? You agreed to it yourself, Senior Brother."

"But I didn't know the Daoyi Sect's food was so delicious!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

"I don't care! Either you compensate me with an ingredient, or you let me have a chance to compete for a meal."

"Senior Brother, keep dreaming until tonight."

Hearing this, the Junior Brother naturally wouldn't have it. After breaking free, he walked toward the courtyard; he was busy rushing to grab a meal.

Although the probability of him being a match for those "old foxes" of the Daoyi Sect was still low, at least he had to grab a good spot to smell more of the aroma.

Before leaving, the Junior Brother turned his head and looked at the Senior Brother:

"Don't be angry, Senior Brother. You'd better go back and recast your Buddhist heart first. Look at your Buddhist heart—it's shattered into what kind of state."

"Hmph, I'll talk after I recast my Buddhist heart."

Hearing this, the Senior Brother snorted coldly and left without looking back, while the Junior Brother entered the courtyard and joined the "rice-grabbing army."

The battle was still one-sided; the Divine Sword Peak disciples held the initiative, followed by the Jade Maiden Peak, and only then the Putuo Temple and the Dry Wood Nunnery.

Only the Dry Wood Nunnery disciples, relying on their "Dragon Claw Hand," held a slight upper hand.
