Chapter 1774: This person looks somewhat familiar

The food therapy created by the Hall of Longevity, what truly attracts people is still the price.

Speaking of efficacy, medicinal pills are definitely more useful and faster, but many medicinal pills are extremely expensive.

Especially those immortal elixirs, not to mention pills tied to lifespan, each is worth a fortune and yet priceless with no market.

Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford them.

The Hall of Longevity's food therapy, however, obviously fills this gap.

Although its efficacy is somewhat weaker and it requires long-term dietary regulation, its advantage is the low price—ordinary cultivators can barely afford it by gritting their teeth.

It is precisely thanks to this food therapy that the Hall of Longevity has made a fortune, with cultivators coming daily in an endless stream.

After hearing the Fifth Elder's explanation, Ye Zhangqing nodded; this Hall of Longevity is indeed..................

However, in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, meals prepared by Spirit Chefs already had the effect of healing injuries or aiding cultivation.

It's just not as outrageous as that; upon reaching the Immortal Realm, it's not strange for these Immortal Chefs to achieve this.

Seeing so many people gathered at the entrance, Ye Zhangqing followed behind the Fifth Elder; the two arrived at the door, saw the Fifth Elder, and a middle-aged man who looked like a steward of the Hall of Longevity came forward to greet them.

"Fifth Elder, how do you have time to come today?"

It seems this person knows the Fifth Elder; hearing this, the Fifth Elder also smiled and replied.

"The clan needs some ingredients; I've come to purchase them."

"Sure, sure, Fifth Elder, follow me."

No need to queue; under the steward's guidance, the group directly passed through the crowd and entered the Hall of Longevity's estate.

The estate is large; upon entering the gate, there are several different passages leading to various parts of the estate.

The Hall of Longevity's estate in Azure Jade Immortal City is mostly open to the outside, specially responsible for receiving coming-and-going diners.

You can, like in a restaurant, request a private room and have three or five friends drink and chat leisurely.

You can also come specifically to treat hidden injuries, alone choosing a quiet room for a tranquil meal.

In short, any service you can think of, the Hall of Longevity here can satisfy.

And the Fifth Elder came to purchase ingredients; under the steward's guidance, he headed straight for the leftmost passage.

The Guo family and the Hall of Longevity are roughly equal in strength, and both have influence in Azure Jade Immortal City, so their relationship isn't particularly good, but on the surface it's certainly passable.

In daily contact, although there is friction, when it comes to experts at the Elder level, nobody would casually tear faces apart.

Along the way Ye Zhangqing didn't speak, but just as he was about to step into the gate of the leftmost passage, he suddenly saw a few people gathered beside another passage.

Among those few people lay a young man, his aura extremely feeble.

It's not that Ye Zhangqing likes to meddle; merely a casual glance first gave him a sense that the unconscious person on the ground looked somewhat familiar, and upon looking closer.

"Holy shit, this isn't Luo Jiuyou, how did he end up like this?"

He immediately stopped his steps; seeing this, the Fifth Elder asked doubtfully.

"What's wrong?"

"I ran into an acquaintance."

Saying this, Ye Zhangqing explained the situation to the Fifth Elder and asked whether he could go see Luo Jiuyou.

After all, we all came from the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, and our relationship with Luo Jiuyou isn't bad; when facing Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing before, Luo Jiuyou also consistently supported me.

However, after arriving in the Immortal Realm, we had no choice, and thus were taken to different Immortal Realm factions.

Yet how did Luo Jiuyou end up like this so soon? This is a bit outrageous—what the hell has he been up to? Isn't the Mi Jing not yet opened?

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Fifth Elder naturally wouldn't refuse; we come from the same Xia Jie, and our ties are significant—now that we've met, and the other is seriously injured and unconscious, feeling concerned is only natural.

The Fifth Elder nodded, and the Hall of Longevity's steward likewise did not obstruct.

He merely glanced at Ye Zhangqing without changing expression, feeling that the Fifth Elder actually listens to this kid's words, and moreover, during their earlier conversation, the Fifth Elder kept calling him "Young Master Ye".

A junior with Emperor-level cultivation can make the Fifth Elder so respectful—this kid's identity is probably not simple.

The Hall of Longevity's steward, thinking this, thus not only did not stop him but actively led Ye Zhangqing toward the passage where Luo Jiuyou was.

Along the way he also proactively introduced Luo Jiuyou's condition.

"This kid was sent by the Netherworld Palace this morning; he was like this when he arrived."

"According to the Netherworld Palace people, he cultivated incorrectly, causing his meridians to flow backward."

"So we came here to see if it can be treated."

"However, this situation would obviously be better handled directly by a Pill Master......................"

He hadn't finished speaking, and while saying this, the steward also furtively observed Ye Zhangqing's expression.

The meaning was clear—Luo Jiuyou's condition would certainly be better treated if a Pill Master took action directly.

However, a Pill Master's fee is much higher; seeing that the Netherworld Palace people are probably unwilling to spend, they came to our Hall of Longevity.

Their Hall of Longevity's price is much lower compared to a Pill Master's.

However, the time required is longer, but the Netherworld Palace seems not to mind these.

As they spoke, Ye Zhangqing and the three had already entered this passage; at the same time, they heard several Netherworld Palace disciples talking with a middle-aged man wearing the Hall of Longevity Immortal Chef's attire.

"What did you say? Three thousand Immortal Crystals?"

"This is the lowest price, and I've already reduced everything that can be cut; if it were any lower, I estimate he couldn't be saved."

Hearing this, the Immortal Chef calmly said.

These few Netherworld Palace disciples find even three thousand Immortal Crystals too expensive.

Originally, when the Immortal Chef first saw Luo Jiuyou's condition, he wanted seven thousand Immortal Crystals.

But the Netherworld Palace disciples outright refused, saying it was too expensive.

After much back-and-forth, the Immortal Chef reduced many costly ingredients that could be cut.

From seven thousand Immortal Crystals he pressed down to three thousand Immortal Crystals—this is already the extreme limit.

If we haggle the price down again, Luo Jiuyou won't be able to be saved; after all, the remaining ingredients now are all essential, and cannot be reduced further.

Even at this price, that immortal chef no longer considers any flavor.

All the seasonings have been cut, none left; anyway whatever flavor comes out is whatever flavor, you just pinch your nose and eat it.

Hearing the words of that immortal master, the few Netherworld Palace disciples exchanged glances, fell silent for a moment, then some nodded grimly.

"Alright, let's just follow this menu."

"Wait, can I first take a look at the menu?"

"Huh???"

But who would have thought, just as the words fell, a voice came from behind interrupting; looking toward the sound, only Ye Zhangqing was seen walking forward accompanied by the Fifth Elder and that steward.
