Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2347: Chapter 16: The Ancient Battlefield of the Xuanling Saintess (Original Story)!

“Aren’t we supposed to save some money to treat Lici and the others to a meal?” The Saintess of Water Moon asked with an air of righteousness. “If you don’t lend me some, then I’ll just owe Lici for now.”

“No, it’s better to owe me instead.”

Saint Qingyuan really didn’t want Lici to get too entangled with Shuimu, so he immediately counted out ten Immortal Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and handed them to the Saintess of Water Moon.

The Saintess of Water Moon weighed the Immortal Spirit Stones in her hand, and a smile reappeared on her face. She handed the Immortal Spirit Stones over to Lici and then waved her hand generously, saying, “Let’s go, let’s eat, let’s eat~~”

Just then, Si Wuchou staggered back from the sky. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and he looked utterly miserable, clearly having been beaten up more than once.

“Miss Lici, please never ask me to mediate again.” Si Wuchou sobbed, clutching his bruised and swollen face. “As soon as I tried to mediate, they stopped fighting each other, but first the Saintess of Water Moon beat me up, and then Saint Qingyuan vented on me with fists and kicks.”

“Thank you for your hard work for the peace between the Heavenly Abodes of the Sea of Clouds and Water Moon.” Wang Lici patted his shoulder, then took one of the Immortal Spirit Stones given by the Saintess of Water Moon and handed it to him. “Take this to buy some Dan medicine to nourish yourself.”

“Im-Im-Immortal Spirit Stone?” Si Wuchou’s eyes lit up, and all his grievances and resentment instantly disappeared. He grinned with a fawning smile, nodding and bowing, “Thank you, Miss, for the reward. If there’s similar work in the future, feel free to instruct me.”

As a second-sequence young master, a True Immortal Seed in the family’s Void Realm, the family invests a budget similar to that of the Three Polar Spirits in cultivating him annually, of which he can freely use only one top-quality Spirit Stone each year.

Don’t underestimate this amount. As an early-stage Void Realm cultivator, his maintenance expenses are already twenty times what the late Emperor Longchang provided for himself.

Even Jiang Yuling, a True Immortal reincarnate, was willing to flatter Wang Shouzhe for an extra top-quality Spirit Stone.

In comparison, Si Wuchou’s family support is already very generous and extravagant.

Besides, as a True Immortal Seed, Si Wuchou had other income sources. Apart from the family support, some close blood relatives in the family would spare him resources, and he also dabbled here and there for some pocket money.

However, even that combined amounted to only one or two Extreme Spirits.

Now, Wang Lici gave him a single Immortal Spirit Stone, equivalent to a hundred Extreme Spirits, enough to sustain him for twenty or thirty years, no wonder Si Wuchou was so thrilled.

The group moved grandly towards the Gui family’s stall, and even Cai Youdao rolled up his stall into a scroll-like folded space, slung it over his back, and cheerfully followed along for a free meal.

The Tianxing Gui Family stall was a Moving Immortal Pavilion, not far away, so they arrived quickly.

Inside the Immortal Pavilion, the Saintess of Water Moon, upon hearing that Lici had a big appetite, waved her jade hand and ordered a genuine [Boiled Sky-Cloud Immortal Bird].

The Tianxing Gui Family was indeed known for top-quality ingredients.

The [Sky-Cloud Immortal Brocade Bird], despite being called a bird, was actually huge and plump, standing several people tall, and weighing tens of tons even after plucking, bleeding, and gutting. It required the Gui Family’s unique culinary Dao-level item, the [Boiling Sky Pot], to be cooked in one go.

The cooking fire also had to be a Spiritual Fire, as anything less wouldn’t be strong enough to thoroughly cook the Sky-Cloud Immortal Brocade Bird.

The Boiling Sky Pot was placed right in the center of the Immortal Pavilion, visible to everyone, with a cultivator in charge of cooking, the entire process under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Once the cooking was done, more than a dozen Gui Family members skilled in culinary arts divided it with Divine Spiritual Treasure-level knives, distributing it into giant bronze cauldrons for everyone, even the dipping sauce was prepared in large vats and brought over.

In no time, the group was surrounded by a massive pile of bronze cauldrons and vats of dipping sauce. The rich aroma wafted from the cauldrons, whetting their appetites.

“The skin is yellow, the meat is white, tender, juicy, and incomparably delicious and refreshing.”

Wang Lici eagerly grabbed a large piece of bird leg weighing several hundred pounds, dipped it in sauce, and devoured it clean in a matter of seconds.

After she finished, she licked her lips with some lingering desire, her eyes sparkling: “Delicious, I’d rate it three stars, no, four stars! I really like that pot, it can make such a big piece of boiled chicken.”

“That’s the Boiling Sky Pot.” The Gui Family member acting as a server explained with pride, “This is not a chicken, it’s the Sky-Cloud Immortal Brocade Bird. Our Gui Family raised it with Secret Techniques, from birth to becoming a food ingredient, it grew for over a thousand years. It was fed all kinds of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Valley regularly and had special massages daily to ensure its meat remained exceptionally tender. Such a delicacy, sold for one Immortal Spirit Stone, is not expensive at all!”

One Immortal Spirit Stone?

Wang Lici clicked her tongue.

Even as someone accustomed to high-quality Spirit Food, she had to admit this was the priciest gourmet she had ever tasted.

At such a price, young disciples attending the Universal Law Festival could mostly only afford a few pounds or ten to twenty pounds to try, not like they did, buying a whole one at once.

Across the entire Universal Law Festival, selling two whole ones would be quite an achievement.
