Chapter 802: We Do It for Free

Having truthfully recounted the events of the past few days to the alliance leader, seeing him still lost in his drunken state, this Talisman Master knew the moment was ripe and spoke in a patient, persuasive manner.

Alliance Leader, the food of the Dao Yi Sect is simply divine delicacy; you say we're not lacking money, yet we can't get this...............

Talisman Masters are naturally not short of money; if they want spirit stones, they just need to casually draw a few talisman seals.

Especially those present eighth- and ninth-grade high-level Talisman Masters.

To them, spirit stones hold little allure—it's not that there's none, but it's simply too low.

Compared to spirit stones, it's the Dao Yi Sect's food that makes everyone daydream and nightthink.

Upon hearing this, the alliance leader of the Talisman Master Alliance also fell into contemplation; previously he didn't know the Dao Yi Sect's food could be this delicious, this simple bun, even he couldn't help but admit it was absolutely perfect.

Just as that Talisman Master's words finished, the alliance leader leading the Formation Master Alliance strode in.

Brother Dongfang.

As soon as he entered, he shouted anxiously; upon hearing this, the Eastern alliance leader turned his head and asked doubtfully.

How did you get here?

Do you know about the Dao Yi Sect's food?

You know too?

Huh???

The person in charge of the Formation Master Alliance here bears the surname Shi; the two locked eyes, obviously both having already tasted the food from the Dao Yi Sect canteen.

That night, the two discussed at length; early the next morning, after breakfast, they set out together to find Qi Xiong.

Sect Master Qi.

This time his attitude was noticeably more respectful; seeing the two come early in the morning with smiling faces, having just finished breakfast and in a good mood, Qi Xiong asked doubtfully.

Gentlemen, what's the matter? Anything wrong?

This......... isn't really a big deal; we just heard that the Dao Yi Sect canteen provides meals, right?

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiong instinctively nodded; indeed, they provide meals.

Not knowing what the two wanted to say, but seeing this, both felt a surge of joy and hurriedly spoke.

Well, Sect Master Qi, we came also for the canteen matter; you see we're here to help—shouldn't you also provide our meals?

As soon as those words were spoken, Qi Xiong's expression instantly turned strange; apparently, they just wanted to mooch a meal.

But............ he slightly shook his head, Qi Xiong spoke with a troubled expression.

Gentlemen, I'll be frank: this canteen originally only provided meals for our Dao Yi Sect disciples, but this time, the two great holy lands' Dao brothers helped selflessly, and our Dao Yi Sect had nothing better to offer, so we're providing meals.

But the Talisman Master Alliance and the Formation Master Alliance—we already agreed on a price; since the price is set and the spirit stones have been given, this probably isn't appropriate.

Having taken money and still wanting free meals? You're dreaming.

Upon hearing this, the two alliance leaders were stunned, and a flash of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

For a moment, they both felt, but why would they talk about money with such a cheap mouth?

They're not short of money; for such a pittance, not getting a meal—damn, that's a loss even to one's grandmother's house.

Sect Master Qi, actually we've already discussed it: the Dao Yi Sect leads the charge, defending the Human Race's mighty pass, building the Shanmen for the Dao Yi Sect—this is itself a righteous act; for us to take money would truly be shameful.

So we both decided to return the spirit stones previously given, and hope Sect Master Qi will understand.

Huh???

Before, you weren't saying this; all you talked about was money.

Now it's become a righteous act? Looking at the two strangely, Qi Xiong didn't care about those spirit stones.

Well.......... since you've put in effort, you should get something in return; this is perfectly natural. As for the spirit stones, I think you two don't need to worry too much, and our Dao Yi Sect isn't............

No, absolutely not; earlier we made a mistake, now we've seen the light—how could we still want spirit stones?

Exactly, Sect Master Qi's righteousness, the Dao Yi Sect's nobility— for the Human Race, guarding the myriad demons' pass, being fellow Human Race members, how could we take spirit stones again?

Seeing Qi Xiong about to refuse, both panicked and hurriedly spoke.

They even brought out the spirit stones they had previously collected, presenting a stance that if Qi Xiong didn't accept them, they would refuse to give up.

Looking at the pile of spirit stones before them, almost a small mountain, Qi Xiong felt a complex mix of emotions.

Damn, can't even spend this money? Or maybe the money already spent could still be justified to be returned?

You two really don't need to do this, I............

Sect Master Qi, no need to say more; I'm willing to personally inscribe a hundred saint-level formations for your sect.

And I, old man, am also willing to freely gift your sect three hundred saint-level talisman seals.

Huh???

One hundred saint-level formations? Three hundred saint-level talisman seals? And they're all free, even the required materials need not be provided by the Dao Yi Sect.

Is there still such a good thing in this world?

Looking at the determined Eastern alliance leader and Shi alliance leader, Qi Xiong spoke slowly.

I understand your meaning, but for now I still need to consult Elder Ye, since the canteen is under his charge; if he has no objection, then............

No problem, Sect Master Qi; how about we go together?

Hmm, alright.

Immediately, the three went to the canteen; Ye Zhangqing, leaning on a Tǎng yǐ to rest, saw Qi Xiong return and the two alliance leaders behind him, and asked doubtfully.

Sect Master, anything wrong?

Like this............

Having truthfully recounted the previous events, hearing that they wanted meals, Ye Zhangqing looked suspiciously at the two alliance leaders.

At this moment, the two alliance leaders also stepped forward enthusiastically.

This must be the legendary Food Ancestor, Young Friend Zhangqing; indeed, he is extraordinarily heroic, fame does not do him justice.

Yeah, first meeting, this is this old man's little token of goodwill; I hope little friend Zhangqing won't stand on ceremony.

And mine too.

After a few exchanges, Ye Zhangqing found himself surrounded by numerous Formation Disks and Talisman Seals, and even the lowest rank among them was ninth grade.

Seeing so many Talisman Seals and Formation Disks, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched.

No wonder they say that apart from the Spirit Chef Alliance, the other three great alliances are all filthy rich; taking a look now, it's indeed true.

Ninth-grade, saint-grade Talisman Seals and Formation Disks—they don't even bat an eye.

They kept refunding money, giving gifts, and promising free carving of Formations; in the end, Ye Zhangqing could only nod and agree.

Anyway, the people from the two great alliances aren't many; together they're still under a thousand. Adding a few more mouths to feed isn't much trouble.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, the two alliance heads were overjoyed; finally they could have a meal.

Immediately, they didn't leave either; anyway, with all this commotion, it's almost lunchtime, so they might as well stay and wait.

Having personally seen Ye Zhangqing's skill, the two were even more eager for the meal; a simple bun was already this delicious, and such a lavish lunch would surely be even more tempting.

We've made a profit.

After giving away so many treasures, the two not only didn't feel they'd lost out, they actually felt they'd made a big gain.
