Chapter 8: Tyrant's Feast · Food God Temple

  "Hey, Greedy Heaven, don't tell me you can't afford the bill," Xiao Gu looked at the waiter leaving and turned to look at Old Wang Ba with surprise.

  "Ridiculous, how could Master possibly have something so low-class and common?" Old Wang Ba's words once again gave Xiao Gu a strong urge to boil him in oil. This guy was really too much of a handful, having no money yet still daring to order a whole table full of dishes to impress the master.

  Money is something that these two weirdos really don't have.

  Lao Wang Ba doesn't need to be said, it's estimated that he probably won't have any money. When they found him in that world before, it seemed like he had been there for a long time. The probability of having money is really low, and even if he did, Xiao Gu was unsure whether this guy would take it out or not.

  As for Xiao Gu, that's even more ridiculous. In the mortal world, although he was considered a complete waste among many of the Xiao family members, in the secular world, he was absolutely a superior being. Who dared to ask him for money? That's not looking for trouble - it's looking for death!

  So from childhood to adulthood, he never had the concept of money, let alone now not knowing how to get into the immortal realm by luck, even if there is some gold and silver on his body, but the currency in the immortal realm seems to be, should be, may or may not be this.

  The second round of dishes was brought up again, but no one had any appetite anymore. At this time, the problem of paying the bill became a super big trouble.

  "If not, let's have a tyrant meal," said Xiao Gu, holding up half a cup of wine and taking a sip. The beautiful wine of the immortal world was indeed extraordinary, with a terrifying spiritual energy that ordinary cultivators might explode from just one cup.

  "As long as you're not afraid of offending the Food God Temple, eating the Tyrant's Meal is not out of the question," Zhan Tian said casually while pecking at a pheasant wing, looking up at Xiao Gu with a glance.

  "Shen Temple of Food? Is it very scary?" Xiao Gu said lazily.

  "The Food God Temple is extremely mysterious, claiming to be omnipresent in the immortal realm. Even ordinary towns have their branch temples. They do not participate in battles and focus solely on cooking delicious food. However, even the Seven Great Powers are unwilling to provoke them," said Greedy Heaven as he drank wine from his cup while introducing it to Xiao Gu.

  "So your meaning is that the Food God Temple is very powerful, and at the same time we can't eat the Tyrant's Meal," Xiao Gu said calmly.

  "It's not that, it's just that everyone who has eaten the Tyrant's Meal at Food God Temple has died. Maybe you can challenge this record, but to be honest, I haven't had a meal this satisfying in a long time," Old Wang Ba said with a satisfied sigh.

  "Ah, bother," Xiao Gu said in a slightly annoyed undertone.

  However, soon his face showed a reckless smile again. "Or you can leave Gē Tiān here as collateral, and I'll come back to redeem him when I've made some money," said Xiǎo Gǔ with a lazy smile, looking at Lǎo Wáng Bā.

  "What did you just say, young man?" Old Wang Ba was furious at once.

  Seeing Tian Tian seemingly having a biting impulse, Xiao Gu couldn't help but compromise: "Just kidding, calm down, calm down".

  "This is just about right," Old Wang Ba heard this and continued drinking wine while leaning on the table.

  "But I'm telling you, don't tell me you can't," Xiao Gu stretched his waist lazily and said nonchalantly.

  "Your turtle grandfather has no money," replied Xiao Gu's voice, which was so overbearing.

  Soon, the second batch of things was destroyed again. Facing the waiter, Xiao Gu only wanted to kill this unreliable old turtle.

  Although it was a bit strange for Xiao Gu and Tan Tian's behavior, the waiter really didn't think that they had no money to go upstairs.

  The Food God Temple is what kind of existence, the waiter naturally understands, eating a tyrant's meal is something that hasn't appeared in a long time, plus Xiao Gu's dressing and temperament are not those of a poor person at all, so the waiter didn't think about it.

  Especially this young man actually brought a talking demon pet with him.

  Would such a person eat at a buffet? Would such a person welch on a debt?

  "Let's go," Xiao Gu made up his mind, first to the first floor and then see, if not, can only do that, heh heh, anyway, Old Wang Ba seems to be very valuable!

  Xiao Gu and Tian Lai arrived at the first floor with a respectful attitude, the waiter made an apologetic expression to Xiao Gu, then hastily went to welcome other guests.

  "Take it, go pay the bill," Xiao Gu calmly took Lao Wang Ba from his shoulder and threw him onto the counter, while he himself remained still near the door.

  "Little kid, your turtle grandfather is not done with you," Old Wang Ba wailed, unexpectedly being outsmarted by Xiao Gu at this time.

  They say that turtles live for a thousand years and tortoises for ten thousand years, but this greedy fellow doesn't know how long he's lived; Xiao Gu is clear about his plans.

  If Greedy Sky had the money, he would naturally take it out and there would be no problem. However, if he didn't, it's likely that Xiao Gu's next move would be to run away with the goods, and Greedy Sky himself would become Xiao Gu's collateral. Who let Xiao Gu say those words at the beginning for everyone to hear?

  "Two gentlemen together spent twenty yuan," said the cashier with a smile.

  "Your turtle grandfather has no source of energy," Old Wang angrily said.

  "Ah," the man was taken aback, then continued laughing, "Of course guests can also use soul jade, just need ten pieces of soul jade."

  Now that we've come to this point, it's inevitable to talk about the things in the immortal realm. The people of the immortal realm naturally wouldn't use gold, silver, and precious jewels; these treasures and riches that are cherished in the mortal world are nothing but trash in the immortal realm, and even using them for decoration would be considered too crude.

  There are two types of currency in the fairy world.

  Yuānjīng is formed by the fusion of heavenly and earthly essence and vital energy, can be used for cultivation, but it's extremely difficult to obtain. This thing is mixed with sand and stone-like objects and also has a mysterious concealment ability, even if it's hidden right in front of your eyes, you still won't be able to find it.

  The second is naturally the soul essence, which is similar to the source essence but even harder to obtain.

  These two currencies are both very useful for cultivators, but soul jade is even more precious because a cultivator's power can be increased through cultivation techniques and secret arts, but the soul is hard to come by, whereas using soul jade can achieve this, so the exchange ratio between the two is generally two to one.

  At the same time, both are born from the spiritual veins and source veins of the immortal world, extremely difficult to obtain.

  These two currencies are divided into four levels: ordinary, superior, legendary and eternal.

  Of course, the first three, even if they are legendary, have been seen by some people more or less, but the last level only exists in legend.

  It's precisely because of this that a group of people who make a living by searching for Soul Essence and Source Essence have emerged, among whom the most outstanding ones are treated with courtesy even by the Seven Great Powers.

  The seven major forces, all of which control countless sources and soul veins, are the foundation of their prosperity. It is precisely because they have sufficient resources and powerful cultivation methods that these forces can far surpass other forces.

  It can be said that whether it is a noble family or a sect, these are their foundation, but unfortunately, these things are extremely difficult to cultivate and require tens of thousands of years. The higher the level, the longer the time required.

  "Screw you, even your turtle grandfather doesn't have a soul," Greedy Heaven was furious and jumped up like thunder, being tricked by Xiao Gu made him extremely unhappy, to the point where he now stood up on his hind legs, baring his teeth at that person.

  The person who received the account was sweating profusely, what a fierce turtle, "So, things like heavenly material and earthly treasure can also be used," the servant said cautiously while wiping his sweat.

  In the Temple of Food Gods, if there is no Soul Essence or Source Essence, some heavenly treasures and earthly gems, demon beast treasures, etc., as long as they are valuable things can be used.

  "Damn it, can't you understand what your turtle grandfather is saying? Damn it, your turtle grandfather has no money," Greedy Sky was almost furious.

  "This, this is it. The waiter finally reacted, 'In other words, you're going to have the Tyrant's Feast?' The waiter spoke with a smile as well, making Xiao Gu feel compelled to admire that the people of Food God Temple indeed had noble professional ethics."

  Brush, Xiao Gu instantly disappeared from where he was standing.

  But the next moment, he stopped at the door with a sad face. Two figures appeared at the gate, although they were not opponents of Xiao Gu, but they could block for a while.

  If he was blocked, it would be unnecessary to say what the consequences would be, so Xiao Gu stopped very wisely.

  "Since the two guests insist on it, then so be it," said the servant with a wave of his hand, and immediately four or five people surrounded them, encircling Old Wang Ba and Xiao Gu.

  The rest of the guests watched this scene calmly, and they were obviously very confident in the strength of the Food God Temple, so they didn't worry that they would be affected by the fight.
