Chapter 867: Accidentally let it slip

The Laurel Xiangong also had the "Xiangong Monthly Report," but the sales were always inferior to the "Cultivation Monthly Report." Daoist Zhuiyue felt that if Lu Yang married into their Xiangong, the Xiangong Monthly Report would definitely sell well.

Although the Xiangong was full of talents, it always lacked cultivators with flexible thinking like Lu Yang.

However, this kind of thought was just a thought. Daoist Zhuiyue felt that with Lu Yang's ability, even if he married into the Xiangong, he would probably toss and turn until the Xiangong was merged into the Wendao Sect.

Who would want to be merged into the sect of that silly Guiyuan? It would be a loss of status.

"Old Meng, there's good news." After Lu Yang finished the newspaper business, he went to find Meng Jingzhou to share the good news.

Meng Jingzhou was shirtless and punching with his Dharma Image. After a set, he was panting and sweating profusely, which made Lu Yang stare blankly.

"My god, in broad daylight, you don't wear clothes when you cultivate!"

Lu Yang remembered that Young Master Meng used to be quite particular. How did he end up like this now? The social atmosphere was declining, it was indecent, and he was ashamed to be associated with him.

"It's not that I'm sweating too much from cultivation, and it's uncomfortable to wear clothes. Besides, my Dharma Image is wearing clothes, so what's wrong with me being shirtless?" Meng Jingzhou pointed to the neatly dressed Dharma Image above his head and said righteously.

"Tell me, what good news could you have that would make you think of me?" Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang vigilantly. According to his experience, the good news in Lu Yang's mouth was not necessarily all good news.

"It's real good news. I met Ying Tian Xian, and I boldly put in a few good words for you in front of him. He said he would treat us equally; he would treat you the same way he treats me when we undergo tribulation."

"Good brother!" Meng Jingzhou felt ashamed. He had wronged Old Lu. Old Lu was so thoughtful for him, yet he actually doubted Old Lu's character.

Oh no, Old Lu's character needed to be doubted, but this time there was no need to doubt.

"However..." Lu Yang hesitated when he said this, considering whether to say it or not.

"However what?" Meng Jingzhou's heart skipped a beat. Could there be a change?

"Forget it, I won't say it."

"You hurry up and say it."

Seeing Old Meng keep asking, Lu Yang couldn't hide it anymore: "However, when I mentioned the 'Immortal Quotations' and said you didn't understand the Immortal Quotations, although Ying Tian Xian didn't say anything, I saw his eyes were unkind, and he seemed a bit unhappy with this action of yours."

"What is the 'Immortal Quotations'? Have I read it?"

Hearing Lu Yang say this, Meng Jingzhou was a bit confused at first, and then remembered where he had heard this term.

When he was in the Twin River Secret Realm, he found the Immortal Fairy's study, and there was an "Immortal Quotations" in the study, but this quotation was written in ancient language, and he couldn't understand it.

"Why did you say this out!" Meng Jingzhou was a bit anxious. If he made Ying Tian Xian unhappy, wouldn't he have to suffer a few more hits when he underwent tribulation?

"I accidentally let it slip. Look, I'm here to make up for it now." Lu Yang smiled embarrassedly. It was not too late to mend the fold after the sheep had been lost.

"How to make up for it?"

"How about this, I've always said I would teach you ancient language, but I never had the chance. I'll just take this opportunity to teach you."

As he spoke, Lu Yang took out a small package from his arms, opened it, and there was a book inside. He handed it to Meng Jingzhou with a serious expression, as if he had completed some kind of ritual.

"After you learn ancient language, you will be able to understand this 'Immortal Quotations' yourself."

"Good idea!" Meng Jingzhou took the Immortal Quotations and felt it was heavy. The Immortal Fairy personally recorded the words of the four ancient immortals; one could imagine this was a priceless treasure, something even immortals would snatch if they saw it.

Another three months passed, and Lu Yang received a special invitation.

"Second Master, look, this is a letter sent to you by the Spirit Chef Alliance!" Yun Mengmeng held the envelope excitedly. Although she didn't know what the Spirit Chef Alliance was, she knew there must be a lot of delicious food just by hearing the name.

"Spirit Chef Alliance?" Lu Yang had heard of it; it was an organization composed of the world's top spirit chefs.

As the saying goes, food has no borders, so the spirit chefs of the Spirit Chef Alliance came from all over the Cultivation Realm, except for the Buddhist Kingdom.

"Why did the Spirit Chef Alliance send me a letter?" Lu Yang thought to himself that he couldn't cook.

His only cooking experience was when the Immortal Fairy possessed him to cook for Qiu Jin'an, and he added salt for twenty seconds.

Then, after Master promoted it, it became "Qiu Jin'an was so excited after eating it that he slapped the table and asked who made it."

They couldn't invite him to join the Spirit Chef Alliance just because of this, could they?

"It must be that after this Immortal possessed you, people mistakenly thought you also had the talent of a spirit chef." The Immortal Fairy said happily. Talent was something that could be seen even through possession.

However, she didn't suggest Lu Yang join the Spirit Chef Alliance. What was her status? The ancestor of spirit chefs. Why would she need to join the Spirit Chef Alliance to prove herself?

Lu Yang opened the envelope, read it quickly, and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't need to struggle with whether to join the Spirit Chef Alliance.

"It turns out they are going to hold a Spirit Chef Competition and invited me to report on it."

Everyone in the world knew that the Cultivation Monthly Report was founded by Lu Yang, and various articles were either written by Lu Yang or had to be reviewed by Lu Yang. The Spirit Chef Alliance invited Lu Yang not to let him compete, but to ask Lu Yang to promote the competition.

"I remember the cafeteria used to be eligible to compete, but ever since a certain Senior Brother argued with the judges and got anxious, knocking the judges unconscious with a fried dough stick, the sect's eligibility to compete was cancelled." Lu Yang couldn't remember who told him, but there was such a thing.

Lu Yang felt it didn't matter whether the cafeteria competed or not; they couldn't win anyway.

"Eh, why did I hear that the cafeteria won the competition? It was even the first place." Yun Mengmeng asked in confusion.

Lu Yang sighed: "It did win a competition, but it wasn't the Spirit Chef Competition; it was the Artifact Refining Competition."

"They are all competitions, it's about the same. Second Master, are we going or not?" Yun Mengmeng didn't distinguish between competitions. She had good teeth and didn't find it difficult to eat the cafeteria's food, so she felt the cafeteria's cooking level was quite high.

Lu Yang was a bit conflicted. He knew nothing about spirit cooking. What was he going to report on?

"Go, go, go!"

Yun Mengmeng looked at Lu Yang with watery, shining eyes. Every time she said "go," she got closer to Lu Yang. Looking at Yun Mengmeng's hopeful eyes, Lu Yang couldn't say no.

"Fine, then let's go."

Last time Yun Mengmeng wanted to go to the Buddhist Kingdom, she was persuaded to give up by the Buddhist Kingdom's porridge. This time, going to the Spirit Chef Competition could be considered compensation.

"Great, long live Second Master!" Yun Mengmeng cheered. She could go to the Spirit Chef Competition to enjoy delicious food to her heart's content.

"No, saying long live Second Master is shortening your life." Yun Mengmeng realized she had made a slip of the tongue. Second Master was definitely stronger than her and was destined to become an immortal in the future. How could she use "long live" to describe him?

"Second Master, may you live forever!"

Lu Yang couldn't laugh or cry. A beautiful woman was shouting "may you live forever" at him, her eyes full of admiration. If outsiders saw it, they would think it was a cultist meeting the leader.

"Alright, alright, don't talk about living forever. Pack up and let's go." ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
