Chapter 875: Gathering Benefits

Ye Zhangqing's performance made Meng Hui Chun think a lot, but one thing is certain: his attitude toward the Spirit Chef Alliance may truly need to change.

Thinking this, Meng Hui Chun also took the initiative to speak to Ye Zhangqing.

"Little Friend Ye's methods truly opened this old man's eyes."

"Senior, you overpraise me; it's just a simple bowl of plain congee."

"Haha, this isn't just a simple bowl of plain congee; if this counts as simple, then my Pill Master Alliance would be a bunch of useless good-for-nothings."

Meng Hui Chun not only highly praised Ye Zhangqing, but also openly self-deprecated.

This undoubtedly already expressed his attitude.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators naturally understood clearly; it seems the Spirit Chef Alliance is truly about to turn things around.

For a moment, many cultivators' gazes toward the Spirit Chef Alliance became complex.

With Meng Hui Chun's approval, many cultivators had various thoughts.

However, for the Spirit Chef Alliance, all the Spirit Chefs are naturally extremely excited.

Meng Hui Chun, the Medicine Ancestor of the Pill Master Alliance, if this were in the past, he wouldn't even give the Spirit Chef Alliance a proper look.

But now he takes the initiative to show friendliness; this is all thanks to the Food Ancestor.

For a moment, all the Spirit Chefs' gazes toward Ye Zhangqing became increasingly fervent; everyone clearly understood that everything today was brought by Ye Zhangqing.

It was he who gave the Spirit Chef Alliance the opportunity to turn things around.

As for that middle-aged man, after eating a bowl of plain congee, he kept staring at Ye Zhangqing with intense eyes.

He simply couldn't forget the taste of that bowl of plain congee; he wanted to have such deliciousness at every meal, but he didn't dare to speak up.

He is indeed immensely wealthy in the mundane world, but gold and silver are completely worthless to cultivators.

Moreover, it's not difficult at all for cultivators to obtain these things.

Not to mention Ye Zhangqing, even an ordinary loose cultivator can easily earn gold and silver.

But what use is that? So few cultivators are interested in it.

「That........ immortal master........... I............ 。」

He spoke hesitantly; upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and smiled.

"Take these, go home and slowly nurture your body; then you'll be fine."

Knowing what the middle-aged man was thinking, after all, Ye Zhangqing had seen such eyes many times before.

He casually took out more than ten boxes of dry rations and handed them to the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man repeatedly thanked him; this was already a great favor from the Immortal Master.

As for following by Ye Zhangqing's side, he didn't even dare to think about it.

What qualifications does someone without Xiūliàn talent have to follow by the Immortal Master's side?

But I can't; my foolish son can—although he's single-minded, his Xiūliàn talent is unquestionable.

Despite his young age, many Xiūliàn sects have valued him; even a sect's Sect Master personally descended, indicating they could accept him as an Inner Disciple.

Originally the middle-aged man was excited about this, but now, if he wants to cultivate immortality, he definitely must join the Dao Yi Shengdi.

How could those sects compare to the Dao Yi Shengdi? Since one must choose, one must definitely choose the best.

After thanking Ye Zhangqing, the middle-aged man then left under the guidance of a Spirit Chef Alliance Elder.

Afterward, everyone began to chat casually.

The gathering of the Five Alliances is naturally like this.

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't expect Meng Hui Chun to take the initiative to invite him, and even personally introduced him to the ancestors of the other four alliances.

Moreover, throughout the process, Meng Hui Chun was extremely kind.

Not only Ye Zhangqing, but many cultivators also took the initiative to chat with the Spirit Chef Alliance's Spirit Chefs.

In their speech, there was no previous contempt; instead, they were very courteous.

Just like facing Pill Masters and Talisman Masters.

Regarding all these changes, the Spirit Chef Alliance's Spirit Chefs could clearly feel them.

After a round of casual talk, what comes next is the most anticipated gift-giving segment.

Having returned to the pavilion of the Spirit Chef Alliance, Ye Zhangqing asked curiously.

"Gift-giving segment?"

"Actually, it's just a little benefit of the Five Alliances gathering, giving some elixirs and talisman seals to the cultivators who come."

No wonder, it's no surprise these cultivators' eyes are glowing right now.

Who wouldn't want to take advantage of getting free elixirs and talisman seals?

In the past, when this segment arrived, the Spirit Chef Alliance was directly sidelined; nobody even had the interest.

After all, unlike the Pill Master Alliance and Talisman Master Alliance, these...

They give elixirs and talisman seals, but upon arriving at the Spirit Chef Alliance, they can only give some food.

Some food lets many cultivators not even have the interest; they'd be better off thinking about how to get a few elixirs.

Whenever they think back to the past coldness they encountered, the Spirit Chef Alliance's Spirit Chefs all have complex expressions.

Every time they are ignored, this feeling is really not good.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was speaking with the three alliance leaders, the Pill Master Alliance's Meng Hui Chun already opened his mouth to speak.

"Fellows, this time my Pill Master Alliance has specially prepared a batch of elixirs to gift to you all; though it's a small profit, I hope you won't disdain it."

"Thank you, Medicine Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators excitedly expressed their thanks.

Afterward, the Pill Master Alliance's elders came out carrying jade bottles, distributing the elixirs to each cultivator present.

The cultivators who had obtained the elixir each gazed at it with smiling eyes.

After that came the Talisman Master Alliance, the Formation Master Alliance, and the Artifact Master Alliance; they also handed out the treasures they had prepared beforehand to everyone.

The Talisman Master Alliance offered talisman seals, the Formation Master Alliance offered formation disks, and the Artifact Master Alliance offered magic treasures.

To all cultivators, these are rare and precious treasures.

Watching this, the three alliance leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance whispered.

"Fanzu, look at us..."

The other four alliances have all taken action; our Spirit Chef Alliance cannot be outdone.

After finally gaining an opportunity to turn things around, if we are suppressed here, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?

Ye Zhangqing didn't know that the Five Alliances' gathering had such a segment, and he had made no preparations.

After thinking, Ye Zhangqing simply took out a lot of dry rations from his Space Ring, each cultivator present got a box.

"Just give these."

Cooking on the spot would be too troublesome, and besides, no ingredients were prepared; furthermore, it would be too tiring.

Simply, I'll just give the dry rations.

At the sight of the dry rations, the three alliance leaders' eyes lit up.

They had originally thought to have Ye Zhangqing cook on the spot, but upon seeing the dry rations, it suddenly occurred to them: right, the Food Ancestor had specially researched dry rations.

Just like the Pill Master Alliance's pills and the Talisman Master Alliance's talisman seals.

The Spirit Chef Alliance simply giving dry rations would do.

You give pills and talisman seals, I give dry rations; that's fine too.

Moreover, they've all tasted the flavor of these dry rations; there's no doubt about it—I believe none of the cultivators present could resist.
