101: I am predicting the topic at the gate of the Immortal Sect!

【 You purchased some spirit beast meat nearby. 】

【 You set up a simple barbecue stall. 】

【 You were glad that in the cultivation world, there were no things like quarantine certificates, hygiene permits, or health certificates, and cultivators' bodies were strong enough to handle anything. 】

【 You began to barbecue. 】

【 The aroma wafted for miles. 】

【 Countless cultivators passing by were attracted to you. 】

Meng Yun continued to barbecue the meat.

Beside him, the lustful female cultivator named Lan Xi was enduring her drool and actively protecting Meng Yun.

Her cultivation at the early Nascent Soul Realm emanated from her, and for a time, it deterred all the cultivators preparing to participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony, not one daring to cause trouble.

Even in this grand cultivation era, without a master, Nascent Soul Realm strength was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Unbeknownst to him, Meng Yun was surrounded by layers of people!

“Tsk, why isn’t it ready yet?”

“Damn it, I haven’t eaten in two and a half years, my mouth is so bland I could spit out a bird, and I didn’t expect to smell this as soon as I came out of seclusion…”

“You all wait here, don’t move. I’ll go buy a few jars of Zhuyeqing.”

Meng Yun picked up a skewer of unknown beast meat, sizzling with oil, and handed it to Lan Xi: “Here, try it.”

Lan Xi’s eyes lit up, and as she took the skewer, she didn’t forget to brush against Meng Yun’s fingers.

“Awoo.”

Tearing off a piece of meat with one bite, Lan Xi narrowed her eyes, cupped her cheeks, as if ascending to the clouds, utterly satisfied.

“Delicious!”

In no time at all, Lan Xi devoured the large skewer completely.

Forgot to mention, in the cultivation world, if they don’t eat, they don’t eat.

But if they find something they love, everyone is a glutton.

“Eastern Abyss Young Master, this servant wants more~” Lan Xi was still unsatisfied, looking at Meng Yun eagerly, her eyes conveying affection.

Someone in the crowd was displeased:

“You little hussy, you’re stealing from the public!”

“Exactly, we haven’t eaten yet! How many spirit stones per skewer?!”

“Want to talk more?” Lan Xi leaked her Nascent Soul Realm aura: “Whoever talks more, I’ll tear him apart!”

Instantly, everyone became like quails, as quiet as chickens.

They were all rogue cultivators.

If they could easily reach the Nascent Soul Realm, they wouldn’t need to come to an immortal sect to try their luck at becoming a disciple!

Easily intimidating the crowd, Lan Xi immediately put on a docile face, her eyes like silk, and said: “Eastern Abyss Young Master, please be merciful and grant this servant another one~”

Meng Yun, however, shook his head: “Only this one, no more.”

Then he looked at the people around him: “What’s the median salary here…?”

Salary? Median? What is that?

A shock from the modern world.

It deeply shocked the common folk of the cultivation world.

In the crowd, a cultivator who looked very intelligent tentatively asked: “Is Eastern Abyss Brother asking how many spirit stones we each earn approximately?”

Meng Yun looked at him with some surprise, then nodded.

Judging people by appearance is not advisable.

Don’t look at him with one eye on guard and the other on lookout, his little brain is really not stupid, he has a future!

His codename is Phoenix Chick!

Seeing Meng Yun nod, Brother Phoenix Chick explained: “A Golden Core Realm cultivator probably earns about five thousand spirit stones a month…

However, this only represents ordinary cultivators.”

Golden Core Realm in this world is roughly equivalent to a freshly graduated college student.

The only difference is that in the modern world, one can graduate from college in four years, while an ordinary cultivator needs to spend ten or even decades of hard work to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

They are incomparable.

But five thousand a month, it doesn’t seem much stronger than in the modern world?

Meng Yun understood.

“Fellow Daoists, to be frank, I am a disciple of the Healing Barbecue Sect, walking the path of barbecuing to save all living beings. My barbecue incorporates the laws of heaven and earth, and eating even one skewer is greatly beneficial to the body…”

“Less nonsense, how much?!”

A boorish fellow couldn’t stand so many words and asked directly.

Meng Yun was displeased, glaring at him. Lan Xi understood and also drew her sword to threaten him.

“That’s wrong. We don’t talk about money, only about destiny…”

Someone couldn’t help but laugh: “Then Eastern Abyss Brother, how can one be destined for this barbecue? It truly makes us crave it so much!”

“Exactly, exactly, how much? I’ll buy it!”

Meng Yun surveyed the crowd, then mysteriously held up one finger.

“One spirit stone?”

“It’s a bit expensive, but this taste… Eastern Abyss Brother is generous!”

Meng Yun looked at them and shook his head.

“Hmm? Not one? Could it be ten?”

“Well, it’s a generous portion and smells good, so ten is reasonable.”

“Give me two skewers to try!”

Someone had already taken out twenty spirit stones.

Meng Yun smiled without speaking, still shaking his head.

Hiss~

Not ten either?

Could it be… one hundred spirit stones per skewer?!

Is your beast meat made of gold, or are your seasonings made of gold?

Why don’t you just rob people?

So this is your ‘destiny’?

Meng Yun did not have mind-reading abilities.

Otherwise, he would definitely tell them:

Where can you find barbecue with special effects these days? Just tell me if you want it or not, do you want it or not?

Amidst the many confused and shocked gazes, Lan Xi remained silent, maintaining order for Meng Yun.

What’s wrong with one hundred spirit stones?

Her Eastern Abyss Brother’s barbecue is worth that price!

“Ten thousand spirit stones per skewer. Small business, honest dealing, fair trade, no credit.” Meng Yun said decisively.

Lan Xi looked shocked, silently sheathing her sword and putting it into her storage ring.

Eastern Abyss was handsome.

But if he got beaten up by so many people later, she really couldn't help him!

“No way?! Brother, are you messing with us here?!”

“Ten thousand, I only earn ten thousand in two months, just for your broken barbecue?!”

“I, Wang Jingze, would rather starve to death, die outside, jump from here, than eat a single bite of your stuff!” A cultivator in the crowd said gruffly.

“Brothers, overturn his stall, and snatch his barbecue!”

Seeing countless cultivators flexing their muscles, eager to move, about to cause a riot.

Meng Yun, unhurriedly, for the first time, released a slight trace of the aura from his second Dantian.

The strength of the late Nascent Soul Realm instantly swept across the entire scene.

The cultivator who had first caused trouble frowned, shielding everyone in front of him.

“But then again, if you’re selling it for ten thousand spirit stones, you should at least have an explanation, shouldn’t you?”

“Exactly, we didn’t say we wouldn’t buy it, but this stuff is simply too extravagant…”

Practice proves that truth only lies within the range of a cannon.

To reason, one must at least know some martial arts.

—《Lun Yu》

Meng Yun ignored the crowd and pulled out a simple aptitude testing stone from his storage ring.

A tester only needed to input spiritual energy into it, and it could instantly detect the spiritual root attribute and corresponding aptitude, which was very effective.

“Lan Xi, why don’t you test your aptitude?”

Lan Xi’s mouth was wide open at this moment, wide enough to swallow a hot dog.

Eastern Abyss’s strength had deeply shocked her.

His bone age was at most twenty, wasn't it?

A twenty-year-old Nascent Soul Realm peak cultivator?

Compared to Eastern Abyss, her cultivation truly went to the dogs!

“Ah, ah? Test aptitude? I only have an ordinary mid-grade water spiritual root… Huh?” Lan Xi said, already taking the testing stone and inputting a small amount of spiritual energy.

“Huh? Huh huh huh huh? High-grade?!!!”

The words “high-grade water spiritual root” truly shocked her.

She couldn’t help but retract her spiritual energy and test again.

The result was still the same.

High-grade spiritual root? Her?

Seeing Lan Xi’s shocked expression, Meng Yun spoke at the right moment: “I just said, my barbecue contains the laws of heaven and earth.

It can help you purify your spiritual root aptitude.”

Hiss~

As soon as the words fell, a collective gasp of cold air echoed throughout the entire scene.

Terrifying!

“Tsk, a double act.”

In the crowd, a cultivator was dismissive.

“You… your name is Wang Jingze, right? Do you want to try a skewer? No charge if it’s useless.” Meng Yun chuckled.

“I’ll try it, you said it, no charge if it’s useless.” Wang Jingze first tested his own aptitude in public.

Mid-grade fire spiritual root.

Then, he picked up a skewer of barbecue and chewed it carefully.

“Oh, it’s really delicious!”
