52: Du Xian's Desire

"Are you sure people will eat food made from this stuff?"

Zhang Linfeng, slightly puzzled, picked up a slice of Dried Pork and put it in his mouth. A sweet, savory, and tender texture immediately appeared.

In an instant, he was stunned. It was the first time he realized pork could be prepared in this way.

This wonderful taste made him unable to control his mouth for a moment, and he only stopped after eating five or six pieces to chew slowly.

"Turn a portion of it into products like this and sell them in the shops I already prepared for you. The price doesn't need to be too high; cheaper is fine."

"The same goes for this item. You must stew it using the seasonings I gave you. The resulting Stewed Meat will be especially fragrant. I've already given you two all the other pork recipes; they are all in this Cookbook. Go back, read it, and memorize it."

"The shops I opened for you can be used in the future to sell your Family's specialties and signature products. This is enough to make you rich."

Wangcai then wagged its tail and prepared to leave. Having helped their Family to this extent, its mission should be considered complete. The rest was up to their own business acumen.

The two exchanged a look and quickly got busy. Pot after pot of Stewed Meat was prepared, along with large quantities of Dried Pork.

All these products were taken to the market. Their shops opened one after another, and the novel dishes and fragrant aromas immediately attracted many people's attention.

The amount of food each shop received was not large, but it was quickly snapped up.

They only launched three to five shops for a trial run. After discovering that everyone loved the food, they immediately began mass production and distributed it to all their stores.

Initially, their shops only sold raw pork, but now they also began selling Cooked Food.

Following the recipes, they began making Sausages, Meat Balls, and various other pork products, instantly becoming popular throughout the entire city.

"A Great Emperor expert is truly terrifying! It's so easy for them to make money! Little Hai's Revered Master only gave us one Cookbook, and we accumulated so much wealth in such a short time!"

They knew this Cookbook originated from that Great Emperor, and boundless gratitude immediately rose in their hearts. If not for his help, their Zhang Family truly would have declined.

Wangcai trotted and ran all the way back up the mountain. It had been away from the Sect for at least over a week. Jin Tianyang was probably getting anxious. If it didn't return soon, it might lose the qualification to trick him.

After greeting Zhang Hai and the others, Wangcai hummed a little tune and returned to Beast Rearing Peak. Jin Tianyang noticed its arrival immediately, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he scurried out.

"You're back? Have you broken the contract with him?"

Jin Tianyang wore a fawning expression, looking very obsequious while rubbing his hands together.

Right now, he dared not make Wangcai angry. Since the other party was going to become his natal spirit beast, any settling of scores would have to wait until after the contract was signed.

He didn't have the guts to settle scores now. If Wangcai chose death over signing a contract with him, all the resources spent would be a massive loss!

Wangcai stuck out its tongue, shook its head, and showed a hint of bitterness on its face.

"You wouldn't believe it. That Original Owner's speed of advancement is too rapid! His Cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul Stage. He has a Secret Method, and even though I'm at the Soul Transformation Stage, I can't escape his control. I need to be two major Realms higher than him. I must continue to Cultivate and hurry up! I saw that his Cultivation speed is incredibly fast; it seems his Revered Master is using massive resources to help him Cultivate!"

Wangcai looked anxious, and Jin Tianyang immediately fell for the trick, hurriedly taking out a large batch of resources and handing them to Wangcai, urging it to Cultivate properly.

On the other side, Li Haotian was teaching his two Disciples to continue exercising and doing Gymnastics. In his view, having only Cultivation was insufficient; they must also have a robust Physique.

Li Haotian burst out laughing watching their awkward movements. Just as he was excited, a System prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Detected that someone was tragically shelved because of the Host. Please proceed to Cai Xia Peak for rescue and take them as a personal Disciple. Reward: great emperor cultivation experience card (one hour), Random Great Emperor Cultivation Death Warrior x1]

Li Haotian was first stunned, then immediately beamed with joy. The feeling after using the great emperor cultivation experience card was simply too wonderful.

Now that such a mission was placed before him, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Li Haotian excitedly rubbed his hands together, then scurried off toward Cai Xia Peak. Before leaving, he instructed his two Disciples to Cultivate properly.

Du Xian was currently kneeling in the main hall, a look of defiance on his face.

"Revered Master, Du Xian is willing to return everything you gave me and even cripple my own Cultivation, only asking that Revered Master allow this Disciple to leave!"

Du Xian heavily knocked his head on the ground. Cai Xia Peak's Chief, Cai Yun, was shaking with anger.

"Do you know what you are saying? When you first entered the Sect, I was the one who took you as a Disciple. Now you see they have powerful Cultivation Techniques over there, and you want to defect to his faction. This is disloyalty, unfilialness, inhumanity, and injustice!"

Cai Yun looked at Du Xian, who was kneeling on the ground, with a feeling of disappointment. Ever since the last Grand Competition ended, Du Xian had been coming to find him every few days, hoping he could use his connections to allow him to go to Spirit Gathering Peak and become an ordinary Disciple.

But he absolutely refused to do so. If he did, the Disciple he had painstakingly nurtured would become Li Haotian's personal Disciple. He would not allow it!

"Tell me, where exactly is This Seat inferior to that Chief of Spirit Gathering Peak? I've provided you with food and drink all these days, taught you Cultivation Techniques, and personally lectured on your confusions. Do you really think you'll receive respect and better treatment if you go over there?"

Du Xian knelt on the ground, knocking his head, his eyes teary. He also had something he absolutely had to accomplish. If he couldn't obtain powerful Cultivation quickly, he might not be able to avenge his parents.

"Oh, it's quite lively here."

A lazy voice drifted over. Cai Yun frowned and looked toward the entrance, seeing Li Haotian, looking relaxed, strolling into his hall.

"Why are you here?"

Li Haotian immediately noticed Du Xian knocking his head loudly on the ground. He already had his answer. Su Yao had indeed mentioned that this guy wanted to take him as a Revered Master and join his faction to learn the World-Extinguishing Black Flame.

Unfortunately, the World-Extinguishing Black Flame is Su Yao's Exclusive Cultivation Technique. If this guy wants to learn, he can only learn something else, but Li Haotian certainly doesn't lack Cultivation Techniques here.

"I came to take a look. I heard you have a Disciple planning to join my faction. I plan to fulfill the Wager you lost to me back then and take all these Disciples away."

Li Haotian shamelessly brought up the Wager from back then. Although he had already rejected the matter, he still mentioned it.
