Chapter 803: Shanmen Completed

Full of anticipation, they waited until lunchtime, when the two Eastern Alliance Leaders were the first to get their meals.

"Alliance Leader............"

The Talisman Masters and Formation Masters of the two great alliances had not yet received the news; out of curiosity they came to the canteen at noon, and seeing their own alliance leader holding a big bowl and eating with great delight, they were all stunned.

Why can the alliance leaders eat a meal?

"What are you staring at? Go get your meal; from now on we'll also be providing meals."

Looking at the dazed crowd, the Eastern Alliance Leader spoke unclearly while taking big bites.

Hearing this, the members of the two great alliances were overjoyed—damn, finally they could get a meal.

In the past few days they had almost been starving to death.

Without a word, the members of the two great alliances all rushed forward like starving wolves.

"Holy shit, don't push—everyone gets a share."

"I've been starving for days—don't you know it yourselves?"

"Just eating, just eating............"

Before, only a few people had merely tasted a bite of a bun, but this time they could finally eat openly and heartily.

After taking a bite, the members of the two great alliances stared with wide eyes, looking utterly unsophisticated.

"Delicious! What kind of divine delicacy is this? There's not a single flaw."

The food kept being shoveled into their mouths; the Talisman Masters and Formation Masters, who were used to fine clothes and jade food, now resembled a bunch of peasants, squatting wherever they could, holding big bowls and eating voraciously.

There was not a trace of the nobility befitting Talisman Masters and Formation Masters.

Moreover, the effect of this food—damn, while it may not be said to match elixirs, it's certainly not far off.

Furthermore, this flavor surpasses even elixirs—what does an elixir taste like? It's like chewing wax.

The taste is good, the effect is astonishingly heaven-defying; the Spirit Chef Alliance is bound to rise.

All the Talisman Masters and Formation Masters realized this.

Especially the Eastern Alliance Leader and Shi Alliance Leader, after eating, shamelessly went to seek the three leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

You have to know, before they utterly looked down on the Spirit Chef Alliance, but now these two guys can practically be called brothers over a meal, addressing each other warmly.

"Brother Li, we've been old acquaintances; from now on we should keep in touch more."

"Exactly, our three great alliances are like branches of the same tree; from now on we will certainly keep close."

"Sigh, as one family we don't speak of two families; Brother Dao, this is a small token from my Formation Master Alliance—please don't refuse."

"And there's also from my Talisman Master Alliance."

After a round of enthusiastic pleasantries, it was followed by the familiar lavish spending.

Facing the multitude of treasures before them, the three leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance were somewhat dazed.

When had the Spirit Chef Alliance ever received such treatment before?

Just as at the previous gathering of the four great alliances, the Spirit Chef Alliance was merely there to make up the numbers, having no say at all.

The other three great alliances never included them in anything, unlike now—damn, they've become one family.

"As a family, you previously ignored me? As a family, you now look down on me?"

He felt some resentment, but more so a feeling of pride and vindication.

Of course, the three all clearly understood that this was all thanks to the Rice Ancestor; without the Rice Ancestor, the Spirit Chef Alliance would likely still have no chance to turn things around.

But no matter how you say it, the Spirit Chef Alliance has now risen.

They also didn't bring up past matters; having become worldly-wise, they still understood these social nuances.

Thus the three leaders wore smiles, exchanged pleasantries with the Eastern and Shi Alliance Leaders, and at the final farewell the five were practically like close brothers.

"Brother Dao, you don't need to see us off; from now on we should keep in close contact."

"Exactly; if there's anything, just let me know—I, the Talisman Master Alliance, will certainly not refuse."

"Then thank you, Brothers Dao; take your leave slowly."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The surrounding members of the Spirit Chef Alliance, seeing this scene, were all bewildered.

"Holy shit, when did our Spirit Chef Alliance get on such good terms with the Talisman Master Alliance and the Formation Master Alliance?"

"Yeah, we've become one family."

"No need to say; it's definitely because of the Great Rice Ancestor."

"Is our Spirit Chef Alliance now about to take off?"

"That's for sure—see who dares to look down on us in the future."

"Rice Ancestor is mighty."

"Rice Ancestor is mighty."

At that moment, many members of the Spirit Chef Alliance shouted aloud; Ye Zhangqing, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the clamor, his face instantly darkening.

"What the hell are you yelling about for no reason?"

He snapped angrily.

With everyone's full effort, the construction progress could be said to be very fast.

Moreover, there was no cutting corners; everything used the best materials.

After one and a half months, the Shanmen was basically completed.

Building the houses was the simplest; they were all cultivators, so their speed naturally couldn't be compared to ordinary people's.

As for the Dong Fu, with so many people it was equally simple.

Even Yu Mo and the others specially opened three independent small spaces, something the Dao Yi Sect had never had before.

Now, the Ten Thousand Demons Pass has completely changed its appearance.

Except for the tall city walls that hold back the Demon Race still standing, the city behind them has completely vanished without a trace.

In their place stand peaks of various shapes, each with its own merits, surrounding the Ten Thousand Demon Pass.

This is the location of the new Shanmen of the Dao Yi Sect.

Each peak was specially selected according to the preferences of its disciples, moved here from various places in Zhongzhou.

Surrounded in the middle is the tallest Place: Zhu Feng.

Above Place: Zhu Feng, clouds and mist swirl, and a grand hall looms faintly within them.

Among the many peaks, streams converge, and lakes have been specially arranged according to the shapes of the stars in the sky.

These lakes vary in size, numbering in the thousands; viewed from above, they resemble the stars in the sky.

As for the outer periphery, the various major subordinate Sects of the Dao Yi Sect faithfully guard its outskirts.

If at this point any Human Race faction still dares to act against the Dao Yi Sect, the first to bear the brunt would be to destroy these subordinate Sects; otherwise, one cannot even approach the Shanmen of the Dao Yi Sect.

This can also be considered a way for the numerous subordinate Sects to express their loyalty.

Gazing at the newly built Shanmen, Yu Mo, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and Ye Zhangqing, along with other senior members of the Dao Yi Sect, all nodded in satisfaction.

"It's much stronger than the previous Shanmen."

"Indeed, the resources expended this time are countless; without the support of the three major merchant guilds, it truly couldn't have been done."

Currently, the merchant guilds affiliated with the Dao Yi Sect are no longer just the Heiyan Commerce Association; there are also the Deer Cry Merchant Guild and the Soaring Dragon Merchant Guild, all of which rank among the Ten Merchant Guilds of Zhongzhou.

Among them, the Deer Cry Merchant Guild ranks seventh, the Soaring Dragon Merchant Guild ranks third, and their financial strength surpasses that of the Heiyan Commerce Association.

For the construction of this Shanmen, both the Deer Cry Merchant Guild and the Soaring Dragon Merchant Guild have spared no effort; they likely wish to express their loyalty.

After all, they are already inferior to the Heiyan Commerce Association; if they don't show their worth now, how could they ever gain the regard of the superior sect?
