Chapter 714: with translation of chapter title

The fragrant aroma filling the whole city—let alone Wu Qigang, everyone is already drooling uncontrollably.

Upon hearing Qi Xiong's words, Wu Qigang's first reaction was that he must have misheard.

Senior, what did you just say?

I'm asking you, do you want to eat the food of our Dao Yi Sect?

Want to.

He almost instinctively nodded—how could he not want to? He's been dreaming about it.

Looking at the dazed Wu Qigang, Qi Xiong gave a slight smile—hadn't he just got him under control?

Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to have a meal.

Senior, please speak.

Only then did Wu Qigang, having come to his senses, become overjoyed—finally he could get a bite of food.

How much do you know about the demon emperors outside the Myriad Demon Pass nowadays?

Huh? Outside the Myriad Demon Pass nowadays, besides the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor, there are also twelve demon emperors......

Not knowing what Qi Xiong meant, Wu Qigang still held nothing back, pouring out everything he knew.

After hearing Wu Qigang's description, Qi Xiong and the others silently nodded, almost instantly locking onto their target—the Tiger Demon Emperor.

First, this guy belongs to the Six-Winged Tiger clan, with six wings growing on his back, making him an excellent ingredient never before seen in Dongzhou.

Second, the Tiger Demon Emperor's stronghold is the closest to the Myriad Demon Pass, making it obviously easier to take.

Therefore, from any angle, the Tiger Demon Emperor is an ideal target.

Alright, go back first, and come over at Fàn diǎn.

Yes, I take my leave.

Not knowing what Qi Xiong and the others were up to, Wu Qigang didn't dare ask further; besides, his mind was full of thoughts of food, he was excited beyond measure, and with a foolish grin he left the courtyard.

Operation tonight?

After Wu Qigang left, Qi Xiong glanced at Hong Zun and the others beside him; they had no objections and nodded.

But we still need to plan a bit, keep the commotion low so as not to alert that demon emperor.

That's right.

For now we have no intention of moving against the Scarlet Dragon Demon Emperor, after all he is also an existence of the Emperor realm, and basic respect is still due.

But this demon emperor, we ought to eat him—such an opportunity doesn't come often; shouldn't we catch a few to have a preliminary feast?

We don't plan to bring Xu Jie and those juniors along; their strength is too weak, they'd be of no help, and we'd have to divert energy to look after them.

Qi Xiong and the others decided to handle it themselves directly.

After some discussion, when everyone felt there were no problems, dinnertime finally arrived.

That aroma once again drifted throughout the Myriad Demon Pass.

This time, the numerous cultivators inside the pass were completely numb.

Holy shit, will this ever end? How many meals a day are we supposed to have?

I'm really impressed—you wouldn't eat like this even if you were an ordinary commoner.

Since sunrise, the Dao Yi Sect seems to have never stopped.

They eat in the morning, at noon, and now even in the evening they have to eat.

Moreover, each time that aroma permeates everything, making the cultivators unable to help salivating—can we even go on living like this?

Curses echoed endlessly throughout the city, but one person was different: upon smelling the aroma, Wu Qigang leapt up like a carp, startling his fellow disciples beside him.

What are you doing?

Going to eat.

What food?

You haven't smelled the aroma?

Nonsense, that's the Dao Yi Sect's food—what's it to you?

Hehe, Qi Zongzhu promised to let me have a meal, I'm going now.

What did you say? You actually get to eat?

Indeed.

Under the envious gazes of his fellow disciples, Wu Qigang strode toward the lord's manor with his head held high and chest out.

Watching his back, the fellow disciples felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred—why does this bastard get to eat?

No way, we have to chase after him to see.

All the way behind Wu Qigang, only when he actually entered the lord's manor did everyone finally believe—did this bastard really get to eat?

Damn it, why can he eat but we can't?

You guys say, could our Shī xiōng have already defected to the Dao Yi Sect? Otherwise how could he get to eat?

You mean our Shī xiōng has betrayed the Qingtian Holy Land?

That's very possible.

"Then we.................",

After all, they're all on the side of the Qingtian Holy Land; logically, the Dao Yi Sect would absolutely not let them eat, but now that Wu Qigang has eaten, the most likely scenario really is that.

Just saying this, everyone fell into silence, staring at each other, and eventually someone's stomach growled twice, after which they muttered.

Actually, it's not impossible—the Dao Yi Sect is pretty good.

Huh???

Everyone's expressions were complex.

Go back first.

This is a serious matter, and this isn't the place to talk about it.

Wu Qigang naturally had no idea what his fellow disciples were guessing, but at least he could finally have a bite of the Dao Yi Sect's meal.

Looking at the courtyard, there were over ten large tubs filled to the brim, each tub containing a dish perfect in color, aroma, and flavor.

The Dao Yi Sect's Spirit Chef Alliance members each held a big bowl, happily serving the dishes.

Don't be polite.

Qi Xiong smiled at Wu Qigang and then joined the line to get food.

Wu Qigang, who could no longer hold back, followed everyone's example, took a clean large bowl, and filled it to the brim for himself.

One bite, and the flavor left Wu Qigang stunned in place.

What the hell kind of divine delicacy is this? Have I been eating pig feed all along?

As a Shèngjìng expert, Wu Qigang may not be a top figure in Zhongzhou, but he definitely surpasses ninety percent of cultivators.

He thought he had already tasted plenty of mountain and sea delicacies, but one bite of the Dao Yi Sect's meal shattered that notion.

Compared to this bite, what were those before? A ninth-grade Spirit Chef? Ha, utter trash.

Not only was the flavor perfect, but its effects also shocked Wu Qigang.

Even though he was a Shèngjìng cultivator, he could clearly feel that this bite still greatly aided his cultivation.

It's hardly inferior to elixirs; the key is, what do elixirs taste like, and what does this food taste like? With the same effect, would you rather eat bland elixirs or delicious food?

Moreover, refining elixirs requires enormous resources; according to Wu Qigang's estimate, to match the effect of this bowl of food, you'd need at least an eighth- or ninth-grade elixir.

And once you reach eighth or ninth grade, any single elixir is absolutely priceless.

You can eat it, but can you eat it every day? Even three meals a day? Even a holy land couldn't withstand such consumption.

In contrast, for the Dao Yi Sect, these meals basically cost nothing—almost a zero‑expense purchase.

The only hassle is the ingredients, but outside the Myriad Monster Pass, there's plenty—those ingredients are absolutely abundant.

So there's no need to hold back—just eat and be done.

After finishing the bowl, Wu Qigang was dumbfounded, instinctively licking his lips; just then Qi Xiong walked by with a bowl, seeming to want a refill, and he quickly asked.

"Qi Zongzhu, I... I can have another bowl?"
