Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing quickly gathered together with Hu Bugui.

Zhao Ziyue was still on his way over.

Although this guy wasn't at the Water Pavilion, he looked for fishing spots every day, so he was far away.

Hu Bugui was quite worried: "Lao Xu, this kind of business opportunity might not have been discovered only by us, right?"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand unconcernedly: "Don't worry, we have an advantage."

"Advantage?" Hu Bugui was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zhangqing took out a top-grade large watermelon and said: "Not to blow my own horn, but with this appearance and quality, even if the price is a bit higher, there will be a pile of people buying."

Top-grade melons, fruits, and vegetables — it's not that others can't cultivate them.

There are definitely such people; this is beyond doubt.

Spirit farmers who can possibly cultivate top-grade melons, fruits, and vegetables, even top-grade spirit plants.

How could they possibly go join this kind of bustle for a few low-grade spirit stones.

Hu Bugui wasn't stupid either, and he had business sense to begin with, so he pondered: "You're right; you could even let the price of a single item be virtually inflated a bit,

but with multiple items, or my spirit beast meat combined with your top-grade fruits and spirit rice wine as a set meal, as long as the average price comes down a bit, there will only be more buyers."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "You kid, not bad!"

The more Hu Bugui thought about it, the more excited he got; he couldn't help rubbing his hands and urged: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go grab a spot!"

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "What's the rush, I'll make you some more barbecue seasoning."

Plain roasted meat.

The high-EQ way to put it is: healthier.

The low-EQ way to put it is: no flavor.

"Barbecue seasoning?" Hu Bugui blinked, looking quite curious.

Xu Zhangqing tried hard to restore the taste of barbecue seasoning.

Pity, this is the Dongting Immortal Sect, not the mortal world.

Nor is it the previous life.

Therefore, there's only about fifty percent restoration.

The main ingredients are chili pepper, salt, garlic, and sesame oil — these four.

"You have a taste." Xu Zhangqing prepared a bit and passed it over.

Hu Bugui tried licking a mouthful, then smacked his lips: "A bit salty, a bit spicy, but it feels really refreshing!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Salty and spicy is right; otherwise who would buy my iced large watermelon and iced spirit rice wine."

Pity it's just basic seasonings.

If there were spices, flavor enhancers, thickeners, stabilizers, and such, it would be even better.

Add in an extra-spicy, devil-spicy version — just thinking of that scene is wonderful.

"Why haven't you set off yet?" At this time, Zhao Ziyue finally arrived.

But suddenly, he smelled a special fragrance.

Quite rich and fragrant.

A bit similar to mortal world food, but more pungent.

Hu Bugui laughed "hehe": "Lao Zhao, you try this piece of roasted meat coated with barbecue seasoning."

"Roasted meat coated with barbecue seasoning?" Zhao Ziyue took it half-believing, half-doubting.

Large chunks of spirit beast meat, skewered on a long wooden stick.

The roasted meat on top was dripping with fat oil.

Faintly resounded "sizzle sizzle" sounds.

The surface was coated with a layer of red oil.

Several chili seeds dotted the top.

Overall emitting an enticing fragrance.

Zhao Ziyue hadn't even eaten yet and couldn't help swallowing saliva.

After cultivating, they basically only ate spirit rice and vegetables containing spiritual energy.

But this time, facing the roasted meat, he couldn't hold back and immediately took a bite.

The slightly hot roasted spirit beast meat entered his mouth; the flavor exploded in his oral cavity.

Fatty meat springy and bouncy, flowing with grease.

Lean meat firm, not the least bit tough.

Plus this magical barbecue seasoning.

One bite down and he was directly dazed by the fragrance; in three moves and two divisions he finished it all.

"Give me more!" Zhao Ziyue's eyes widened.

Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui saw this, looked at each other, and instantly shared a knowing smile.

Afterwards, the three prepared tables, chairs, benches, water buckets, fire racks, and the like.

Everything settled, Xu Zhangqing summoned his Big Leaf Grass.

Hu Bugui was utterly surprised: "Hey Lao Xu, you actually switched travel tools?"

Zhao Ziyue sized them up from the side, then said with considerable envy: "Big Leaf Grass is far more advanced than a Flying Paper Crane."

Xu Changqing did not explain, but jumped onto the platform first, then waved at them: "Let's go!"

Immediately, the three boarded the Big Leaf Grass and flew toward Zhuqi Peak.

This time the speed was very fast; not long after they arrived.

Although the three had not come for the first time, this time they seemed exceptionally excited.

Not only because of Rank One Chu Qiu and Rank Two Lan Tian's appointment battle.

More because this was their first cooperation, therefore both were full of expectation.

"Chu Qiu has arrived, why hasn't Lan Tian come yet?"

"Rank Two puts on far more airs than Rank One!"

"There are really a lot of people today!"

When Xu Changqing and the other two arrived, the entire square was already surging with crowds.

Moreover, it was indeed just as they had guessed.

There were already people setting up stalls here.

The things sold were also much the same.

All were some vegetables, fruits, small snacks and the like.

There were even people privately taking spirit stones and spirit rice to run gambling.

This time, the arena where Chu Qiu and Lan Tian had their appointment battle was Number One Arena.

That area was already packed to capacity long ago, impossible to squeeze into.

Even in the air there were quite a few Flying Paper Cranes and Flying Shuttles floating.

On Number One Arena, Chu Qiu was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed.

Unknown whether he was cultivating.

Or killing time.

Speaking of it, that Thousand-year Spirit Beast He Qi was nowhere to be seen.

"Can't squeeze in." Hu Bugui was somewhat anxious.

Zhao Ziyue gritted his teeth: "If it really won't work, let's just rush in all at once."

Xu Changqing heard this and rolled his eyes: "If you're not afraid of getting beaten, then go ahead!"

What day is it today?

The day Rank One and Rank Two have their appointment battle!

The people coming to watch are all Formal Disciples, and their cultivation realms are not low either.

There might even be Core Disciples appearing, so they absolutely cannot be offended.

"Uh... then forget it." Hu Bugui shrank his neck.

"Then what to do?" Zhao Ziyue frowned.

Xu Changqing pointed at the empty space ahead and said: "Ahead is the necessary path for watching the battle; almost everyone who comes has to pass through here. We'll set up a stall at that spot."

Wait for the spirit beast meat to finish roasting, apply the basic barbecue seasoning.

By then the little flavor will scratch its way up.

Maybe the people inside will even actively come out to consume.

Soon, the three chose their positions.

Directly roasted meat, spirit rice wine, fruit — a full one-stop service.

Xu Changqing sells Miao Shou Level spirit rice wine.

Zhao Ziyue sells chilled top-grade large watermelon.

Hu Bugui works hard; he has to keep roasting spirit beast meat and applying barbecue seasoning.

Soon, this combination of three attracted quite a few people's attention.

Whoever comes up to Zhuqi Peak will subconsciously glance over.

"What thing is this?"

"How come there's even roasted meat?"

"These three fellows are really something!"

At first, everyone's attitude toward Xu Changqing's trio was rather disdainful.

Even many people's eyes held contempt.

After all, this is Dongting Immortal Sect; everyone is a cultivator.

Anyone who can come watch this appointment battle is without exception a Formal Disciple.

What everyone usually eats is basically spirit rice, vegetables containing spiritual energy.

Of course, some people also like eating spirit beast meat containing spiritual energy.

Different people, different preferences.

But on this kind of occasion, such a stall appears.

It indeed makes many people drop their jaws in shock.

Even unable to understand.

However, when the spirit beast meat finished roasting.

When Hu Bugui applied the basic barbecue seasoning.

Rich fragrance immediately spread out.

Those who originally had no interest in these things, and even looked down on them extremely, couldn't help but swallow their saliva!!!
