Chapter 774: Departing for the Imperial Palace!

"Super Orle... Orle what?"

Zeng Dafoye listened in a daze, somewhat unable to react.

Regarding Xu Que's long and thick name, he was truly unfamiliar, having never heard of it; vaguely, he had only caught the four characters "Invincible Chicken Leg"!

"Young Friend, are you asking me to eat chicken legs?" Great Buddha Master asked in astonishment.

"Not exactly chicken legs! Wait a minute, Great Buddha Master, surely you don't eat only vegetarian food?" Xu Que suddenly remembered; Great Buddha Master counted as a Buddhist, and if he only ate vegetarian food, then the chicken leg hamburger would be useless!

"Why eat only vegetarian food? We do not abstain from meat or vegetables, but we have practiced grain avoidance for many years and generally do not eat anything," Zeng Dafoye shook his head, then continued, "Young Friend, how did our conversation shift to eating? What we are discussing now is not this issue of meat versus vegetables!"

"No, we are indeed discussing this topic! To be honest, my Zhu Tian Bang specializes precisely in medicinal cuisine, which is more powerful than any pill; you have already witnessed the effect of the Spicy Strips, and coincidentally, we also possess an Orleans Chicken Leg Burger which, upon consumption, can immediately raise one's cultivation realm! Of course, like the Spicy Strips, this effect only works upon consuming the first one!" Xu Que said in a low voice, deliberately making his tone sound very mysterious.

Zeng Dafoye could not help but be moved; he had witnessed the effect of the Spicy Strips with his own eyes, and it was indeed very powerful—he had even been preparing to spend five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones at a friendly price to buy one for himself!

But now Xu Que was telling him there was another type of medicinal cuisine that could instantly raise a cultivation realm; this made his first reaction not suspicion, but shock.

If such a divine object truly existed, then his entry into the Immortal Realm would be a certainty; as long as he survived the final Heavenly Tribulation, he could achieve the legendary realm of the Immortal!

"Young Friend, does such an object truly exist?" Zeng Dafoye asked, his eyelids twitching.

One could hear that Great Buddha Master's tone no longer carried the same composure as before.

"Naturally, I would not deceive you over such a matter! Besides, even if I truly did not have such a thing, would you not still have to keep your promise and lend me a hand, Great Buddha Master?" Xu Que smiled faintly, strategizing with complete confidence.

Great Buddha Master had no power to refute; he opened his mouth, then finally nodded with a bitter smile: "Young Friend speaks the truth; even without it, I will certainly keep my promise. People of the Buddhist Sect do not speak falsehoods!"

"So rest assured, Great Buddha Master; this item will definitely be given to you in due time, and you need not fight the Holy Emperor to the death. You only need to restrain him, giving us time to enter and seize the Tree of Attaining the Dao. At that time, you can also consume the hamburger to raise your realm, so there is no need to worry about the Holy Emperor seeking revenge against you!" Xu Que, speaking with an air of seniority, patted Great Buddha Master on the shoulders.

Zeng Dafoye seemed to have already made his decision; without much hesitation, he nodded directly and said: "Just as Young Friend said, since I made a promise earlier, I will certainly fulfill it. As for the medicinal cuisine of the Invincible Chicken Leg, if Young Friend can provide it to me, I will owe you one more favor!"

"Good, I enjoy cooperating with straightforward people like you, Great Buddha Master; the matter is settled, and we will depart in three days!" Xu Que laughed heartily immediately, shaking hands with Great Buddha Master to reach an agreement!

That same day, under Great Buddha Master's arrangements and hospitality, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan moved into the Buddha Tower.

This was a very serene place; the incense was not as exaggerated as outside, with only a faint sandalwood fragrance permeating the air; one breath brought immediate mental clarity, and even the speed of cultivation increased significantly.

Xu Que also took out the Immortal Hidden Grass from Great Buddha Master and handed it to Jiang Hongyan.

Now that Jiang Hongyan's soul was trapped within the Tree of Attaining the Dao, the Holy Emperor could at any moment perceive everything about Jiang Hongyan through that wisp of soul.

However, now that she had come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, far from Tongtian Kingdom, and with the restrictions of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, her location was temporarily avoided from being detected.

But once she left the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, she would eventually be discovered, so this Immortal Hidden Grass could still prove extremely useful!

After receiving the Immortal Hidden Grass, Jiang Hongyan quickly formed hand seals and began to life refine it.

"Whoosh!"

The entire Immortal Hidden Grass instantly soared into the air, hovering above Jiang Hongyan's beautiful head, radiating brilliant rosy light, transforming into strands of starlight that slowly drifted down.

Until the Immortal Hidden Grass completely vanished, the aura on Jiang Hongyan's body was also nearly concealed; even Xu Que, sitting beside her, could barely sense her existence unless he deliberately paid attention!

"It is done!" Jiang Hongyan opened her eyes, looked gently at Xu Que, and said softly.

"Good, when the time comes, we will have Great Buddha Master lure away the Holy Emperor; you and I will enter the Imperial Palace together, seize the Tree of Attaining the Dao, then hide in the territory of the Heavenly Beast Race before figuring out a way to return to the Four Great Continents!" Xu Que nodded, a smile on his face, very satisfied with this plan!

Jiang Hongyan also knew this plan had a high success rate; with Zeng Dafoye involved, their side's overall strength would no longer be inferior to the Holy Emperor's—at the very least, they now possessed the true capability to contend with him!

At the same time, on the topmost floor of the Buddha Tower!

Zeng Dafoye was holding Little Buddha Girl, wearing a strange expression as he watched her eat Spicy Strips one after another, making him truly crave some!

Yet he felt too embarrassed to snatch food from his own daughter; moreover, Xu Que had already given the entire pot of Spicy Strips to Little Buddha Girl, so now even if he wanted to spend five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones to buy some, he could not find any.

"Daddy, you eat!" At this moment, Little Buddha Girl, as if sharing a secret understanding, very considerately held out a Spicy Strip.

Zeng Dafoye swallowed his saliva and said with a dry laugh: "There, there, Daddy isn't hungry, I won't eat!"

"No, Daddy, you eat!" Little Buddha Girl was very persistent, forcibly poking the Spicy Strip onto Great Buddha Master's face, instantly smearing chili sauce all over it.

Great Buddha Master could not help but smile; he stopped insisting, opened his mouth, and bit into the Spicy Strip.

After deeply experiencing the unique chewiness and deliciousness of this Spicy Strip, a vast power suddenly erupted in his mind, causing his whole body to tremble instantly.

In merely an instant, he rapidly opened his eyes, filled with shock.

Even though he had long known the effect of these Spicy Strips, after trying one himself, he was still shocked.

A mere medicinal cuisine made from bean curd skin actually possessed such terrifying efficacy; it was simply incomparable to any pill!

"Divine Soul Power increased by fifty percent so easily; it seems that if I comprehend the Great Dao once more these few days and strengthen my Dao Rhyme, I fear the Holy Emperor will not be my match when the time comes!"

Thinking of this, Great Buddha Master felt even more anticipation for the Orleans Chicken Leg Burger Xu Que had mentioned.

"This time it is truly the Buddha's protection; although that boy appears strange in his behavior and eccentric in character, he is ultimately a person who values righteousness—he saved Little Buddha Girl and brought me such creation; in comparison, my merely lending a hand to restrain the Holy Emperor has become a trivial matter not worth mentioning!"

He shook his head slightly with a smile and murmured softly, "But speaking of which, it is quite surprising that the famous Empress of our Xuanzhen Continent would actually fall in love with that boy!"

In the end, three days passed very quickly.

Xu Que took advantage of these three days to sit in quiet meditation, adjusting his own Dao Rhyme to its optimal state, and furthermore dumped the fifty thousand points of Method Essence he had previously obtained from the Mysterious Gift Pack all at once into the Qiankun Seal, directly cultivating the Zhu Huan Seal within it to the Perfect Stage.

During this period, he specifically toured the Buddha Tower, attempting to steal some Dharma Spells from Great Buddha Master to quietly recycle them to the system.

However, Great Buddha Master's collection consisted entirely of Buddhist sutras, with no valuable Dharma Spells; Xu Que simply gave up, for in any case, the power of the Qiankun Seal still could not compare to the King of Acting Cool Fist, so there was no need to be too eager for quick success!

"Knock, knock!"

On this morning, the door to Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan's room was knocked upon.

Both simultaneously woke from their cultivation states, opening their eyes, and Great Buddha Master's voice came from outside the door.

"You two, it is getting late; we can depart!"

【Today's second update is delivered! Still two chapters short! I'll write one more chapter, then go to sleep. The chapter for the 4000 Monthly Tickets bonus update will be saved for tomorrow; after all, counting the two make-up chapters during the day, that makes five chapters today, which is truly a bit tiring! Moreover, no one is casting Monthly Tickets now, so tomorrow we certainly won't reach 4500 tickets; I am very reassured, hahaha!】
