Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Just as the name of the barbecue shop suggested, customers who tried it once wanted to come by again to satiate their ever-hungry stomachs.

Customers came here for the barbecue’s signature dish – Barbarian Tribe’s special lamb, a recipe passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, still as refreshing as ever from ancient times to now.

The barbecue recipe was freshly prepared on the same day, with a great understanding of the ancestors’ tradition in seasoning the meat. The various skewers of the Seek Dao Sect had subtle differences in their taste due to this special sauce.

Master Liu, who also served as the Vice Sect Leader of the Eternity Sect, held a different view. According to him, the best ingredients needed only the simplest ways of cooking; for skewers, the most important things were heat control and heart.

Master Liu treated every skewering session as a battlefield, throwing his heart and soul into it. Although the orders piled up like mountains, he remained calm, meticulously controlling the heat and immersing himself in his world. Eating was just like fighting, an ancient and immutable truth. For a barbecue shop to succeed, naturally, it couldn’t do without the cooperation of the staff. The staff at “Another Round Barbecue Shop” were all temporary workers who had never come across this sort of thing before. However, they seemed to be bom for this. When serving the guests, they seemed to have an unspoken understanding of each other, cooperating with perfect timing as if they were born brothers.

Still, there was no perfect shop in the world. No matter how harmoniously they cooperated, there always were people who were absent-minded and inattentive.

Little Lu, what’s the matter with you? Can you concentrate on your work?” Vice Sect Leader Gao, who was also acting as the Eternity Sect’s leader, scolded Lu Yang for not putting his heart into his work

Lu Yang:

Did I become the sect leader of the Eternity Sect too hastily? I see no future in the Eternity Sect. It’s better to just be an honest disciple of the Seek Dao Sect.

“Are you thinking of leaving the sect?” Fairy Eternity glared at Lu Yang with an unpleasant expression. It took some guts to talk about leaving the sect in front of your faith.

“Fairy, do you have any issues? If it’s nothing, then go back to sleep.”

“Of course, I have something to tell you. You need to talk to Little Gao that he’s not cooking the kebabs right. They’re too tender. The fire should be a bit bigger. There should be a slight burnt smell, which makes it more delicious.” “Move fast; this is an Immortal’s command.” Fairy Eternity urged.

In the ancient times, people valued whatever she said, treating it as Immortal Enlightenment, and people would analyze its meaning from all angles.

Now, she didn’t enjoy this treatment. Lu Yang acted like he was deaf when she spoke.

Man Gu from the Barbarian Tribe secretly found Lu Yang, his face filled with worry. “Brother Lu, we can’t go on like this.”

Lu Yang was delighted, thinking that someone had finally realized the problem. “We haven’t prepared so many skewers; at this rate, we’ll sell out very soon!” Lu Yang began to doubt whether it was Man Gu or himself who had a problem.

“What? Are there not many skewers left?” One of the high-ranking members of the Eternity Sect changed colour upon hearing this. This was a serious matter. This high-ranking member, named Jiang Yitian, was in charge of collecting money.

“Then hurry up and buy some more outside!”

Man Gu shook his head: “The skewers are pre-marinated. The meat we buy now may not be guaranteed in terms of quality. And there’s not enough time for marinating.”

As a member of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, Man Gu couldn’t damage the reputation of his family’s barbecue brand.

“Maintaining high standards, aren’t you!” Fairy Eternity praised. She had had the barbecue of the Barbarian Tribe in ancient times. The taste was indeed unique, but there was a lack of attention to nutritional balance.

Fairy Eternity always paid attention to nutritional balance when she cooked. She gave constructive suggestions to the Barbarian Tribe, but they didn’t listen and stuck to their guns.

When the Nascent Soul group’s competition on the martial arts plaza drew to a close, the skewers were completely sold out.

Everyone began to tally up their gains for the day.

“Damn it, aren’t we here to stir things up in the Seek Dao Sect? What the hell are you people doing, playing house?” Vice Sect Leader Liu reproached. He realized he had been engrossed in barbecue and missed the main task But he couldn’t admit his mistake in public.

Sure enough, being the vice sect leader of a demonic sect, he was born to commit evil deeds. He was quite adept at putting the blame on others.

Vice Sect Leader Gao also rebuked everyone: “Where are your stances? You’re not fully committed to the task. Do you think this is fair to Immortal Eternity?” Everyone was thinking that it was you two who were the most involved just now.

Jiang Yitian, who was in charge of invoicing earlier, thought for a moment, then said seriously: “Is it too late for us to switch careers and open a barbecue shop?”

Another high-ranking member rebuked: “What on earth do you mean, open a barbecue shop? Are you going to give up your faith in Immortal Eternity?” “But opening a barbecue shop in the Seek Dao Sect does make a lot of money.” The high-ranking member said with disdain: “How much could it possibly make?”

“It’s equal to a month’s worth of offerings.”

The high-ranking member thought for a moment: “Running a barbecue shop while worshiping the statue of Immortal Eternity doesn’t seem to contradict our teachings.”

Vice Sect Leader Liu reproached this high-ranking member’s uncertainty: “That’s nonsense! We who are loyal believers of Immortal Eternity, how can we have such thoughts…”

“It’s equal to a month’s worship from all of us combined.”

“It’s our sect’s fortune to have someone like you thinking like that!”

Vice Sect Leader Liu immediately changed his tune and began planning for the future: “We can open a chain of stores, spread across the entire continent. This will not only solve the employment problem of our believers, but also make money. By then, we will be the biggest taxpayers in the Great Xia Dynasty!” Vice Sect Leader Gao was outraged: “Have you ever thought that the prices elsewhere wouldn’t be as outrageous as in Seek Dao Sect? Can the consumption level on holidays be the same as normal days? You only look at the immediate profits, without considering the long term! The most important thing is, once we start a chain, who could guarantee that all believers can barbecue at our level!”

“Prepare to head out. Let’s go to the martial arts plaza!”

Lu Yang sighed in secret. The original plan was to use the customers to hold them back, giving this group of people a chance. Unfortunately, the skewers sold out too fast and couldn’t hold on until the event ended.

“To make the Dream Pillow work to its fullest, we need a specific position. Little Lu, you three lead us to the martial arts plaza for location scouting. Once the time is right, activate the Immortal Treasure immediately. By then, you’ll be the heroes!”

Lu Yang, with his chest hanging down and serious expression, looked like a brave martyr. “We don’t want the credit; we are ready to dedicate ourselves to the Eternity Sect with no second thought!”

“Good, I knew I didn’t judge wrong!” Vice Sect Leader Liu greatly appreciated Lu Yang. He really was worthy of being the sect leader’s special attention.

The sect leader of the Eternity Sect led his subordinates to the martial arts plaza and dispersed to their positions.

Vice Sect Leader Liu watched the battle on the martial arts plaza, nodding approvingly. The disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects were indeed commendable; their battle strategy was impeccable.

He said to the illustrious sect leader: “Little Lu, watch these battles carefully; they’ll be very helpful for you.”
