Chapter 2277

This Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is indeed good stuff, not only is the taste exquisite, but the effect is even more heaven-defying.

Whether it's for lifespan or cultivation, it is greatly beneficial.

However, although the stuff is good, the quantity is somewhat too scarce.

Outside the Immortal Realm there are indeed not a few, but we dare not let them in casually; the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons sealed by the Heavenly Family, when added together, are only a handful.

Even a rough calculation shows it's not enough to last a few days.

As the four grandparents and grandchildren were talking about these things, Tianlin suddenly said he had a plan, making the three heads of the Heavenly Family curious.

What plan does this kid have?

Under his father's questioning, Tianlin didn't beat around the bush but spoke frankly.

"Father, we can go elsewhere to round up a batch; the news hasn't spread yet, and places like Bliss Palace would surely be willing to hand over those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons to us. Once we have them, we can later slowly capture more from the Heavenly Palace."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the three heads of the Heavenly Family first stared in surprise, then their eyes lit up.

Exactly, this idea works.

Originally, Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were a burden to all major forces, a drag.

Their methods are strange, and they are hard to kill; one can only slowly wear down their vitality through sealing.

But maintaining these seals consumes resources every day.

To seal a single Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the resource consumption is not a small number.

Thus, across the entire Immortal Realm, only major powers like the Heavenly Family, Bliss Palace, and the Northern Border have sufficient means to seal these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

However, this amounts to wasting resources for nothing; if there were another way, the major powers would naturally be unwilling to spend it.

Even if a family is huge and prosperous, no one would waste resources pointlessly.

So Tianlin's suggestion is indeed feasible and not difficult to carry out, as long as we don't leak the news.

Right now the Heavenly Family still has a few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons; if we can get another batch from other forces, we can hold out for a while.

Later we can figure out how to get some from the Heavenly Palace.

"You little brat, have you opened your wisdom?"

In high spirits, the head of the Heavenly Family grinned, looked at Tianlin, and praised him.

This kid finally did something decent, unlike his usual scatterbrained self.

In response, Tianlin pursed his lips, as if saying he wasn't that bad.

The Heavenly Family's elder and patriarch also had no objections; they quickly discussed and decided that the head of the Heavenly Family would personally go to Bliss Palace first.

As for the pretext, the head of the Heavenly Family improvised freely, as long as the true situation wasn't exposed.

"Alright, I'll set off after I finish eating tomorrow."

"What the hell, no delays—let's leave tonight."

"Ah, but Father.................."

"Go quickly and return quickly; the matter is urgent. When you're done, we'll naturally have food for you, and we'll save your portion."

"Can you keep it?"

The head of the Heavenly Family expressed that he didn't believe it at all.

However, under the insistence of his own father and the elder, the head of the Heavenly Family reluctantly set out in the night.

He headed straight for Bliss Palace.

The next day at mealtime, not seeing the head of the Heavenly Family, Ye Zhangqing asked curiously.

Upon learning that the other party had gone to Bliss Palace for the plan, Tianlin also didn't hide it from Ye Zhangqing.

But after hearing Tianlin's plan, Ye Zhangqing's expression turned somewhat odd.

"You really are preparing for a rainy day."

"It's never wrong to prepare early."

Tianlin laughed; beside him, Miao Qianqian, hearing this, rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something, and said with a giggle.

"I also have several Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons sealed in Xijiang."

"I know, but you're not.................."

"If I don't say it, that's fine."

Xijiang also seals Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, which Tianlin naturally knows; however, since Miao Qianqian had already tasted those demons, when they discussed last night, Tianlin simply didn't include Xijiang.

After all, everyone knows the situation—who would willingly bring them out?

But upon hearing Miao Qianqian's words at this moment, Tianlin startled, then a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, I'm here and I need to eat."

Miao Qianqian said indifferently.

She sees clearly that Ye Zhangqing is now in the Heavenly Family and even runs a tavern; he definitely won't leave in the short term.

Moreover, even if he did leave, he probably wouldn't go to Xijiang, since Xijiang is remote and the round trip would waste too much time.

So Miao Qianqian also has no plans to leave soon.

Having finally gotten to taste such a worldly delicacy, how could she bear to leave so quickly?

Therefore, since I'm in the Heavenly Family, it would be better to also bring those few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons from Xijiang over here.

After all, even my grandmother and the others haven't tasted these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and don't know how delicious they are, so doing this isn't excessive.

Miao Qianqian thinks this way, and for Tianlin, it's even more a cause for great joy.

Originally we were thinking of first taking Bliss Palace, but we didn't expect there would be an unexpected bonus.

Looking at Miao Qianqian, he couldn't help but infuse his gaze with a hint of admiration.

Not bad, not bad, Miao Qianqian, I had long seen that you are a talent.

Tch.

In response, Miao Qianqian gave an indifferent pout, that expression.....................

As for the ingredients, Ye Zhangqing doesn't need to worry; Tianlin and Miao Qianqian will handle it.

After eating, Ye Zhangqing also planned to personally go check out that restaurant.

According to Tianlin, that restaurant has mostly been cleaned up; it should be done in just these two days.

However, that shopkeeper is a bit strange; the Heavenly Family said we'd give him a new premises and even waive ten years' rent, but he refused, saying he wants to retire into seclusion.

Tianlin doubted, saying, "We finally managed to set up a business in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, and the Heavenly Family even offered such good terms, yet this shopkeeper actually said he'd rather quit than work."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing also felt a bit doubtful; it is somewhat strange, but thinking about it, this matter has nothing to do with me.

I'll go take a look this afternoon.

I'll have someone accompany you.

No need, we can go ourselves.

This afternoon, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian need to deal with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon matter; Western Border is remote, so it's best to settle this quickly, otherwise waiting for the ingredients to arrive could take who knows how long—maybe till the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Declining Tianlin's offer of an escort, after resting for about half a Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing then took Bai Hua Xianzi and Hongyue to that restaurant.

Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng was no stranger to me; leaving the Heavenly Family, I smoothly arrived at the restaurant's door.

The signboard above the door had been taken down, clearly indicating they were preparing to close.

Inside the hall, a few people were busy, doing some finishing work.

However, things like tables, chairs, and stools hadn't been moved much; they were simply gathered into a corner.

It looks like they intend to keep these for themselves; the same goes for other places—they don't plan to take anything away.

Ye Zhangqing strode into the hall; seeing the arrival, several cultivators instinctively said.

Guest, sorry, we're about to close.
