Chapter 325: The Barbecue Shop Reopens

After Lu Yang woke up, Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan woke up one after another. The father and daughter looked around, not understanding the situation.

"All awake?" Elder Five sat on a stool, looking calm and composed.

Qin Yanyan remembered the scene before she fainted: Elder Five waved his sleeve, and their eyes went dark. When they came to their senses, they had already appeared here.

It was exactly the same as the legendary "Universe in the Sleeve."

"I know, what you just performed was 'Universe in the Sleeve,' right!" Qin Yanyan said excitedly, not expecting to be able to experience this legendary Great Divine Ability in person.

Worthy of being an elder of the Congwendao Sect!

Elder Five showed a calm smile, everything unspoken.

Li Haoran showed a thoughtful expression; he hadn't heard that his master knew "Universe in the Sleeve."

Meng Jingzhou, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time, raised an eyebrow; he was the only one of the four who hadn't fainted.

After Elder Five knocked Lu Yang and the other two unconscious, he even explained to himself, saying he was worried that Lu Yang and the other three were afraid of heights and had no flying experience, so taking them down directly might be something they couldn't adapt to, so it was better to knock them out and take them away.

Then Elder Five took out three sacks, put them over the three, and acted with such proficiency that he didn't know how many times he had done it.

"This is the 'Come Again' barbecue shop you mentioned?" Elder Five had done his homework well before setting off, finding Dai Bufan to get the report on the mission Lu Yang and the others had done, knowing what had happened in Yanjiang County.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at the familiar furnishings, showing expressions of reminiscence.

Time flies, things change, people change, and in the blink of an eye, many years have passed. The Decayed Sect had been destroyed, and they didn't expect to be able to return here.

Elder Five brushed the table, which had a thick layer of dust: "Three months have passed, it's time to clean up."

Just as the four juniors were preparing to do it, they saw Elder Five wave his hand: "No need for such trouble."

His lips trembled slightly, chanting an incantation that no one could hear clearly, and he cast a mark.

The mark fell on the ground, and the space seemed to tremble, rippling with invisible ripples, circle after circle.

The dust on the tables, chairs, and the ground fluctuated with the ups and downs of the spatial ripples, peeling off from the attached objects and spreading outward.

Even the dust on the four of them trembled slightly and left them.

When all the dirt, oil, and other dirty things had spread to the corner of the wall, a suction force appeared in Elder Five's palm, and the dirty things contracted inward, forming a vortex.

Finally, the dirty things shrank into a spherical shape, Elder Five clenched his fist, and the spherical dirty things disappeared without a trace.

The entire barbecue shop gave people a feeling of being brand new, as if everything was new.

"This is the 'Dust-Cleansing Spell,' often used for cleaning. In your spare time from cultivation, you can practice these practical little spells," Elder Five introduced.

"If you don't like the look of someone, you can also use the Dust-Cleansing Spell to gather the dirty things into a ball and throw it at them."

This was Elder Five's original intention for learning the Dust-Cleansing Spell.

"Reopening!"

Lu Yang took out various seasonings, skewers, automatic skewering arrays, and barbecue grills from his identity jade plate. The barbecue shop had them, and they hadn't taken them away when they left before.

"This automatic skewering array is a bit interesting; it's creative," Elder Five glanced at the array and deduced its function.

Lu Yang thought to himself that this was the latest achievement of the Decayed Sect's high-level members, gathering the wisdom of four Integration stage cultivators.

Elder Five asked: "Are there any arrays or magic treasures for automatic grilling?"

Lu Yang shook his head; it hadn't been designed yet.

"Then, I'll design it. However, I haven't grilled skewers before and have no experience, so I need to grill for two days to practice first, so I'll know how to design the magic treasure for automatic grilling."

The thing Elder Five liked to do most was to refine magic treasures that hadn't appeared before.

Lu Yang was happy; he had been thinking about whether to catch two vengeful ghosts, but now it seemed it wasn't needed.

Lu Yang mixed the seasonings in a certain proportion and soon prepared a jar of barbecue sauce with a ruddy color, a specialty of the barbarian race.

"I'll go out and buy some raw materials first," Lu Yang said, letting Elder Five try his hand first.

"Go, go."

Lu Yang pushed open the big door, attracting surprised looks from pedestrians on the street.

"Shopkeeper Lu!"

"What, this is Shopkeeper Lu?"

"Is the barbecue shop reopening?"

"I heard Shopkeeper Lu went out to start a business. Is he back to continue the barbecue shop after failing?"

"Didn't they say Shopkeeper Lu went home to inherit the family business? Why is he back?"

"There's such a saying?"

"Haven't you heard? Shopkeeper Lu got lost from his parents when he was a child. The barbecue recipe of the barbecue shop is Shopkeeper Lu's childhood memory. A great power came here to eat skewers, and after eating, he was in tears, saying that this taste could only be made by people in his family, asking who made it, and then the father and son recognized each other, and the barbecue shop closed."

"How come I heard that Shopkeeper Lu has a very rich fiancée, and Shopkeeper Lu was taken away by his fiancée?"

Pedestrians discussed it heatedly. The 'Come Again' barbecue shop was the most popular shop in Yanjiang County, and surrounding counties had heard of it.

Unfortunately, after the Spring Festival, the barbecue shop closed, and people couldn't say how much they missed eating there.

People made various guesses about Lu Yang's departure.

As for the death of the county magistrate at that time, no one would associate it with the barbecue shop, let alone a barbecue shop covered in banners.

"Shopkeeper Lu, is the barbecue shop still reopening?"

"That's right, if we don't eat your skewers at night, we always feel like something is missing!"

Facing the enthusiastic people, Lu Yang raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet. We are back this time to continue opening the barbecue shop. Please rest assured about this. We plan to reopen the barbecue shop tomorrow!"

"Great!"

After Lu Yang finally rushed out of the crowd's encirclement and was surrounded again at the vegetable market, when he returned to the barbecue shop, he was panting, feeling that going out was more tiring than fighting.

"I'm back!"

Lu Yang threw the meat and vegetables onto the automatic skewering array, and the array automatically cut the meat and vegetables into small pieces, and the wooden skewers floated, skewering the meat and vegetables. The process was quite smooth.

Elder Five brought the skewered skewers to the barbecue grill and turned his head to ask: "Do you have any flames specifically for barbecue?"

As a grandmaster of artifact refining, Elder Five mastered seven types of true fire, but they were all fierce flames. They could be used for artifact refining, but not for barbecue.

"I have the Three-Flavor True Fire!" Lu Yang volunteered; his true fire was most suitable for barbecue.

"I also have true fire," Meng Jingzhou said, a scorching flame rising from his palm.

"Pure Yang True Fire?" Elder Five recognized the origin of the flame in Meng Jingzhou's palm. Every cultivator who condensed a single-element Golden Core would automatically master this kind of true fire.

"However, your flame isn't as easy to use as Lu Yang's Three-Flavor True Fire, right?"

Meng Jingzhou showed a confident smile: "No, my Pure Yang True Fire is a product of a double single-element root, and it has effects that previous Pure Yang True Fire didn't have."

Elder Five asked curiously: "What is it?"

"It can strengthen yang."

"Ingredients grilled with Pure Yang True Fire can all strengthen yang!"
