Jin Yan naturally declined the request of the immortal cultivator, and even asked the immortal cultivator to try it at Jixiang Xiaozhu. Her fairy kitchen shop did not provide dietary therapy. However, Jin Yan could not refuse the request in the end.
The request of the immortal cultivator, because the immortal cultivator took out an immortal ingredient.
After investigating the condition of the immortal cultivator, Jin Yan found that the symptoms of the immortal cultivator corresponded to a disease that Gu Zheng once told her. Although it was her first time to face this situation, she should not have made any mistakes.
So he received the immortal food as a reward and used food therapy to treat the immortal cultivator's illness.
Neither Jin Yan nor Master Yunqing expected that the medical treatment would cause trouble for their Xianchu restaurant, and the trouble would be so great that even the backers behind them could not suppress it.
The so-called "backers" of Jin Yan and Master Yun Qing at that time were not from Jixiang Xiaozhu, but from the local sect forces.
The immortal cultivator who came to Jin Yan for treatment was actually a 'medicine man' trained by a demon. It was the demon who planted his mortal diseases. Jin Yan helped the immortal cultivator cure his illness, which was regarded as destroying the demon.
With so much hard work, the devil was naturally unwilling to give up.
Although the devil refused to give up, he also knew that Jin Yan was born in Jixiang Xiaozhu, and had heard of Gu Zheng's name, so he was a little wary and did not destroy the shop and family in a fit of anger.
He wanted Jin Yan and Master Yun Qing to make compensation for this matter.
There is no way to reason about this kind of thing. Whoever has the bigger fist is the one who is right. Jin Yan and Master Yunqing compromised and agreed to pay compensation. However, the resources that the devil asked them to compensate were a price they were unwilling to pay. That was
During the years when they opened the Xianchu restaurant in Nanhuang City, they earned two-thirds of their income.
The devil gave Jin Yan and Master Yunqing three days to think about it. If they didn't do what he said within three days, then Jin Yan and Master Yunqing would have no chance of surviving.
The three days were very torturous for Jin Yan and Yun Qing. They finally chose to accept their fate. Not to mention that they could not contact Gu Zheng. Even if they could contact Gu Zheng, they had no intention of asking Gu Zheng for help because of this.
The day they decided to leave Jixiang Xiaozhu, they had already decided that as long as the matter was within a manageable level, they would not bother Gu Zheng.
When the demon threatened Jin Yan and Master Yunqing, it was considered a turmoil in Nanhuang City. What Jin Yan and Master Yunqing did not expect was that on the third day, a young man came to their Fairy Kitchen shop.
The young man claimed to be Gu Zheng's friend, and he reassured Jin Yan and Yun Qing about this matter.
Someone came forward to say such words, Jin Yan and Master Yunqing were naturally very grateful. If the problem could be solved without paying such a heavy price, they naturally did not want to pay.
The devil finally came, and the young man said that he could just forget about it.
The devil didn't know the young man and didn't know his strength. Naturally, he refused to agree to his suggestion of letting it go.
After saying nothing, the devil and the young man started a fight in the Xianchu restaurant.
Originally, the people in the Immortal Kitchen Shop, including those who were watching the excitement, immediately evacuated Nanhuang City when they saw the two powerful men fighting in the city. And Nanhuang City soon turned into ashes in the fight between the two of them.
Ruins, naturally many residents died in the ruins.
No one saw the final result of that battle, because the young man and the devil flew further and further away during the battle, and no one dared to catch up to see clearly.
Since then, Jin Yan and the others have never seen the young man again, nor have they seen the devil again.
Jin Yan also asked what the young man's name was at first, but the other party just smiled and said nothing. The only thing Jin Yan knew about his identity was that he was a demon cultivator, because when he was fighting with the devil, he once
The true form was revealed, and it was a very ordinary-looking fox.
In any case, the destruction of Nanhuang City was closely related to Jin Yan. After Jin Yan paid a sum of resources as a price, she took her disciples to Mohua City.
In today's prehistoric times, there are still very few fairy chef restaurants, but the immortal chefs are no longer particularly unfamiliar with the profession of fairy chefs. They have heard more or less rumors about fairy chefs.
Most of the immortal cultivators also have a friendly attitude towards Immortal Kitchen. For example, these cultivator forces near Mohua City also sent congratulatory gifts after the store was opened in Pinxianju, expressing their desire to make good friends.
However, everything has two sides. It means that you want to make friends, but you also want to exchange for benefits. Pinxianju is not a very fragrant house. For this kind of thing, as long as the other party is not too excessive, it will be a good relationship and benefit.
There will be appropriate concessions.
However, not everyone wants to make friends with Xianchu Restaurant. Some people regard Xianchu Restaurant as a fat sheep. These people are equivalent to rogues among ordinary people among immortal cultivators. They always think about
Get some benefits from Pinxianju.
If it were in Jixiang Xiaozhu, such a person would have been beaten to death! But in Pinxianju, Master Yunqing and Jin Yan could only ask the "backer" behind them to come forward to solve the problem.
People who make trouble usually give face to their "backers", but it is inevitable that Pinxianju will have to pay a price for this, whether it is to the "backers" or to those who make trouble! This is also a part of businessmen.
Such helplessness, who doesn't have the strength to solve this problem?
Jin Yan and Yun Qing didn't take ordinary troubles seriously. Anyway, they had encountered a lot of them while doing business over the years. Besides, the Xianchu shop was really very profitable, so spending a little money to buy peace was nothing.
.
A few days ago, an old man came to Pinxian Juzhong. The old man brought a message to Master Yunqing, saying that the matter in Nanhuang City was not settled yet, and asked them to prepare a batch of resources, and the old man would pick it up in five days.
What the old man said is not very clear, but it gives the impression that the original devil has come to ask for resources again, and this time the resources requested are half more than the last time. In terms of time, the day after tomorrow is
The old man was coming to Pinxianju, so Jin Yan wanted Xiong San to leave Pinxianju tomorrow.
Jin Yan has already told the Ningshuang Sect, the backer behind them, about this matter. From their perspective or the people of the Ningshuang Sect, it is unlikely that this old man represents that demon, because that demon
His strength has long been that of Daluo Jinxian. When such a person comes to ask for resources, he should not just send someone over! However, this is just a guess. What the truth is can only be known when the time comes.
"Hey, what strength!"
Master Yunqing sighed, after so many years away from Jixiang Xiaozhu, his and Jin Yan's strength had not grown very quickly.
Although there are food repairs that can quickly increase your strength, apart from the time limit for taking the food repairs, for food repairs of this level like Zengyuan Food Repair, even if you take top-grade food every time, the effect will still not be as good as one time.
, this change is not very obvious, but after so many years, this change has been amplified a lot compared to the initial effect of increasing the energy of food cultivation. More importantly, like
Jin Yan and Master Yunqing, although the skills they practiced were relatively superior, they did not have the bottleneck advantage of Tie Xian Jue. Therefore, Jin Yan's cultivation was stuck at the peak of transformation, and Master Yunqing was stuck.
At the peak of returning to virtual reality.
"There is no way. It can be said that we have never practiced quietly in these years."
Jin Yan smiled bitterly: "I envy Qiao Bai and Xu Ran. They followed Mr. to the barrier and their cultivation levels have improved greatly."
“Everyone has his or her own opportunities, and there are some things that you can’t envy!”
Master Yunqing touched Jin Yan's hair: "Go to sleep. Tomorrow I will go to Jixiang Xiaozhu with fellow Taoist Xiong. You should be careful here and be open-minded about everything. Problems that can be solved with resources.
That can’t be called a problem.”
"I know." Jin Yan smiled slightly.
Master Yunqing and Jin Yan fell asleep, and Xiong San, who also fell asleep, fell into a dream.
The dream was very beautiful, it was a picture of Xiong San and Lingzhu living together.
In that dream of thirty-five years, Xiong San was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. When he was awake, he knew that it was a dream, but everything in the dream was too beautiful, which made him even know that it was a dream.
He didn't want to wake up. When he was in Hutu, he was deep in a dream. Even if his heart was broken, he thought that was the reality, and there was no way to wake up! If he hadn't dreamed about Gu Zheng that day, Gu Zheng had done something to him.
After scolding him, he didn't know how many more years that thirty-five-year dream would last.
Xiong San knew that the beautiful picture now was just a dream. He was not as obsessed with the spirit beads in the dream as before, he just looked at her quietly.
"What are you looking at? Is it that beautiful?"
Lingzhu gave Xiong San an angry look, and the various amorous feelings made Xiong San feel distressed.
"Are you stupid? I'm asking you something!"
Lingzhu's finger pointed at Xiong San's head.
Xiong San took Lingzhu's hand, and the softness and warmth were just like real ones, which made him unable to help but burst into tears.
"Lingzhu, can you come back to me?" Xiong San choked with sobs.
"Okay! You just need to ask sir, he will find a way to get me back to you."
Lingzhu smiled miserably, and the hand she was holding by Xiong San began to disappear, and then spread to her entire body.
Xiong San woke up from his dream, his face full of tears.
After a sleepless night, Xiong San had breakfast with Master Yunqing and Jin Yan early the next morning.
"Did Fellow Daoist Xiong sleep well last night?" Master Yunqing asked.
"fine."
Xiong San smiled maliciously: "Where are you two?"
Master Yunqing didn't say anything. If Xiong San could really get better, it wouldn't matter even if he was joking with him.
Jin Yan didn't say anything, she just gave Xiong San a big roll of her eyes. If she wasn't afraid that what she said would irritate Xiong San, she would definitely fight back against Xiong San's lack of formality.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, Pindao has already told Jin Yan that today Pindao will go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu with you to have a look," Master Yunqing said.
"Forget it! I just said that impulsively yesterday. The business here is so busy, I am embarrassed to drag you back with me. Besides, after returning to Jixiang Xiaozhu, I don't know when I can come to your store again.
Xianju, I want to stay here for two more days!" Xiong San shook his head.
Xiong San's words left Master Yunqing speechless. He originally thought that Xiong San not only wanted to go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu early, but also wanted to drag him back with him. But now it seems that is not the case at all. The reason why Xiong San did so yesterday
If you say that, it’s really possible that it’s impulsive!
As far as Master Yunqing is concerned, it's fine if Xiong San doesn't take him back to Jixiang Xiaozhu. If he wants to stay here for two days, it's something he absolutely doesn't want to see.
"It's okay. I can take care of Pinxianju. You two can go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu together! Anyway, I also want Yunqing to go to Yinlei Sect to pick up something for me after he returns to Qingfeng City!" Jin Yan
hurriedly said.
"Yes! Let's set off after breakfast! When I think of going back to Jixiang Xiaozhu, Pindao really feels like returning home." Master Yunqing said.
"You are leaving after breakfast? Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that there is something going on here at Pinxianju?"
Xiong San smiled, and his smile was meaningful. Although he looked simple and honest, he was actually a delicate person on the inside.
Yesterday, Xiong San really wanted Master Yunqing to go back with him, but what Master Yunqing said at that time was, "I would like to go back, but I really feel uneasy about Jin Yan going back with you alone. After all, Pin Dao
Xianju has only been operating in Mohua City for three years, and it can’t be said that it has really established a firm foothold!”
The first impression that Master Yunqing gave Xiong San was that there was some trouble here in Pinxianju! But when Xiong San asked about it, Master Yunqing just said "no trouble" and changed the subject.
Xiong San also thought that he was overthinking himself, so he didn't ask any more questions at that time.
Just now when Master Yunqing said that he wanted to go back with him, Xiong San remembered what happened yesterday again, and this is where he came up with his words that made Master Yunqing speechless! He just wanted to see through those words,
Is there really something going on here in Pinxianju? If there is nothing wrong here in Pinxianju, at least there will be no objection to him wanting to stay a few more days. If there is really something going on here in Pinxianju, then Jin Yan and Yun Qingzhen
People definitely don't want him to stay here any longer.
"What can happen to Pinxianju?" Jin Yan asked doubtfully.
"It's not that I'm leaving in such a hurry, it's just that I really want to go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu to have a look." Master Yun Qing said.
"Pretend, you two are pretending to be alike! What are you hiding from me? If you really treat me as family, just tell me if you have any trouble!"
Xiong San was rarely serious, and his serious eyes swept over Master Yunqing and Jin Yan.
Seeing that Xiong San had seen through it and there was no point in hiding it any longer, Jin Yan and Master Yun Qing looked at each other and told the whole story.
"This is blackmail!"
After hearing the whole story, Xiong San sneered.
"After all, this is not a very fragrant building, and blackmail is not a rare thing." Lingzhu shook his head and smiled.
"Yes, anything that can be solved with resources is nothing." Master Yunqing also smiled.
"You two can really pretend to be relaxed!"
Xiong San glared at Master Yunqing and Jin Yan: "How is your relationship with the sects around you? Tell me in detail."
Without hiding anything from Xiong San, Master Yunqing told the story of Pinxianju's relationship with the sects around Mohua City.
"Are you really planning to lose some resources to resolve this matter? That amount of resources is not a small amount, it is the savings you have worked hard for for several years!" Xiong San said.
"Of course I don't want to pay compensation, but there really is nothing I can do!"
Master Yunqing sighed. At this time, he no longer said that problems that could be solved with resources were no longer problems. As Xiong San said, the resources were their savings after years of hard work. If they could make a compromise decision, then
I also went through several heart-wrenching struggles.
"There is no way and it cannot be like this. None of the sects around here are good. Can't you see it?"
Xiong San was angry. After all, he had been in charge of Jixiang Xiaozhu for many years, and he had had many dealings with immortal cultivators. From the things that Master Yunqing told him, he could hear some fishy things.
"Of course I can see it, but again, there is no good way!"
Jin Yan and the others are not fools. They will not mention things that are far away. Just like this time when the old man came to Pinxian Juzhong and mentioned the matter of Nanhuang City and asked for a sum of resources, they were not without suspicion.
That devil was probably under the command of a certain sect in Mohua City! And this sect was probably the Ningshuang Sect, which they regarded as their backer.
"Although Pinxianju is not a very fragrant house, it is indeed a bit troublesome to encounter similar things, but it is not completely impossible. You are now relying on local forces as your backers, but what is the difference between these local forces and local snakes in the secular world?
?When you encounter ordinary petty troubles, they can help you, but every time you ask them for help, you still need to give them a little benefit! But if you encounter a demon-level existence like that in Nanhuang City, they
You really can't rely on these guys! In other words, for things like what you encountered this time, it is very likely that they are behind it! What do you think is the use of having such a backer?" Xiong San said angrily.
road.
"We also thought about finding a powerful person to be our backer, but the key point is that there is no suitable candidate. Besides, there must be other troubles involved. What if that powerful person is also very black-hearted, or even more black-hearted?" Jin Yan smiled bitterly.
"Stupid! Do you need to find someone else to back you up? Who did you learn your cooking skills from? Although you and Master don't have the title of master and apprentice, they are. If something like this happens, why don't you find someone to support you?
Master, what about once?" Xiong San hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"You didn't come to see your husband when something like that happened. How dare we bother you with such a trivial matter?" Jin Yan said in a low voice.
"Can it be the same?"
Xiong San was so angry that he glared at Jin Yan: "What I call is the affair between children and children. What you are doing now is about promoting the way of eating. I don't think Master will ignore it!"
"Fellow Taoist, are you really so sure?"
Master Yunqing asked, his words were not questioning, he just wanted to hear Xiong San's affirmative answer, but these words also stopped Xiong San from questioning.
Is Xiong San sure? Xiong San is not sure, he just feels that Gu Zheng should take care of this kind of thing.
"It's one thing to ignore it, but it's another thing to try it or not."
Xiong San said angrily, and then added: "It is precisely because you don't use Master's name to talk about things, so those who want to make an impression on you will feel that the relationship between you and Master is not deep.
It doesn’t matter even if I get some benefits from you.”
"The key point is that even if we want to contact Mr., we can't! What's more, what if we use Mr.'s name to talk about something and people don't buy it? That would not only be embarrassing for Pinxianju, but also for Mr. as well.
"Jin Yan said helplessly.
"Although I can't contact you for the time being, I will be able to contact you when I return to Jixiang Xiaozhu. At that time, fellow Taoist Yunqing can also ask Master what he means. However, for now, I have no plans to return to Jixiang Xiaozhu.
Xiang Xiaozhu, I want to see what kind of monsters are behind that old man!" Xiong San said coldly.
