Everyone shuddered and had to turn around, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying. "Supremacy … what other instructions do you have?"
Lonemoon smiled at them like a spring breeze, scaring all the cultivators into lowering their heads. Yet he waved his hand, and all the notes that fell on the ground flew into his hands, forming a thick stack.
"Since these recipes are meaningless to my friend, then there's no point in keeping them." His eyes darkened, and his smile became even more commercial. "Didn't you say that these are your signature dishes? Then let's redeem these recipes! "
"Redeem … redeem … redeem?" Everyone hesitated.
"Yes, don't you sell recipes? We don't need them anymore, can we return them? "
Everyone looked confused, although that was what they said, they had already refunded the money just now! But seeing his serious expression, they did not dare to refute, and could only grit their teeth and nod. "Yes … yes!"
"Alright, I won't cheat you. Just return them at the original price, the prices are all written on these lists! " Lonemoon picked up one and read, "This is Aroma Restaurant's secret braised spirit beast meat, one thousand five hundred superior-grade spirit stones. Chef, go and collect the money from the boss. "
"Yes, Father Niu!" Yi Qing immediately took out his storage bag and walked towards the person who was still wearing an apron.
"Oh, right, if you don't have spirit stones on you, it's alright, you can sign an IOU first!" He waved the stack of IOU in his hand.
Everyone: "…"
They felt so uncomfortable they wanted to cry, what kind of criminal gang was this?!
Lonemoon spent an hour before he returned the stack of IOU in his hand one by one, and replaced it with a new batch of IOU, of course those people owed him. The IOU written by cultivators was different from those in the mortal world, these IOU were bound by spirit power, which meant that unless he voluntarily rescinded it, or he died, it had to be returned, otherwise it would damage the cultivation of the person who made the contract.
He roughly counted, Shen Ying and the others could bring at most two months of food expenses, which was twenty thousand superior-grade spirit stones. But now he had at least a million spirit stones, which meant that he had more than fifty times the original amount, and that was without counting those IOU.
"Father Niu, you're amazing!" Shen Ying immediately clapped.
Chef paused for a moment, then started clapping along with Shen Ying.
"Father Niu, number one in the world!"
"Scram!" Lonemoon turned and glared at the two of them. "Don't think that I won't settle the score with you just because I got the money back." Normally, no matter how wasteful a meal was, it would not exceed two mid-grade spirit stones. In just one day, how did you guys manage to spend tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones and owe a huge debt?
"Aiya, Father Niu, don't mind such details!"
"Details my ass!" How could a few hundred thousand spirit stones be f * cking details? "Do you really think you have a mine at home?"
"Yes, Fatty has a vein pearl …"
"Shut up!" If he had been any slower, even if he had a mine, he would have gone into debt. These two prodigals!
"Oh."
Lonemoon kept the newly earned spirit stones in his hands. He had decided, there would be no food allowance for the next month! Taking a deep breath, he regained his senses and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what did you discover? You want to deliberately provoke the anger of those people and force me to play this kind of lousy show with you? " If he had not blocked in front of them, the two of them would have exposed their gloating performance just now.
Although they were two cheaters with no integrity, they were not idiots, especially Shen Ying who was a person with a high IQ. There was no way she would fall for such an obvious trap. What's more, Chef was here. In other words, they did it on purpose.
"Aiya, don't say that. Weren't you very happy when you were counting the spirit stones just now?"
"What's wrong with me collecting some spirit stones! Don't actors need to pay to appear? " Celebrities' appearance fees were easily tens of millions. Him collecting a few million spirit stones was already considered cheap.
"Yes, yes, yes, Father Niu is the Best Actor. Everything he says is right!" They were just poor beggars.
"What exactly happened?"
"It's those elixirs." Yi Qing took a step forward and explained in a low voice, "Master and I originally wanted to go to Immortal Bian City to buy some snacks. On the way, we met an injured cultivator. He asked us to go to a pill shop at the end of the street to buy a bottle of superior-grade Qi Nourishing Pills. So we went to buy one for him."
"Is there a problem with the elixirs?" Lonemoon asked.
"There's no problem with the effects of the elixirs. They are indeed Qi Nourishing Pills that nourish Qi. This is a common elixir used to replenish Spirit Qi. But we found that there was an extra medicine in the elixir."
"What medicine?"
"Soul Nourishing Grass!"
"What?" Lonemoon was stunned. "Isn't the Soul Nourishing Grass a seventh-grade spirit herb? The Qi Nourishing Pill is a first-grade elixir. Using a seventh-grade spirit herb to refine a first-grade elixir, did that alchemist have too much money? Or did he not pay attention during the refinement and put it in the wrong place? Or was the elixir placed together with the Soul Nourishing Grass and contaminated with Spirit Qi? "
"I thought so too at first." Yi Qing frowned and continued, "But I tried to use the True Phoenix Fire to purify the impurities in the elixir, but the entire elixir turned into ashes."
"How could that be?" Lonemoon was stunned. "Your True Phoenix Fire should only be used to burn impurities like elixirs-" Wait! He stopped mid-sentence and his eyes widened. "Could it be that the elixir was not the leaves of the Soul Nourishing Grass, but … the Soul Extracting Powder!"
"Yes." Yi Qing nodded.
"Shit!" Lonemoon shouted silently. The Soul Extracting Powder was also made from a part of the Soul Nourishing Grass. The Soul Nourishing Grass was a very special spirit herb. It only grew in places with dense Yin Qi. Although it was rooted in Yin soil, its leaves were the main ingredient in refining the Soul Nourishing Pill. The Soul Nourishing Pill nourished the spirit and cultivated the soul. It was mainly used to strengthen the divine perception and also had the effect of repairing the primordial spirit. That was why it was an eighth-grade elixir. But the roots of the Soul Nourishing Grass were the exact opposite. The roots gathered a large amount of Yin Qi. Eating it would damage the divine perception and in serious cases, the primordial spirit. And the Soul Extracting Powder was a powder made from the roots of the Soul Nourishing Grass.
"The amount of Soul Extracting Powder in that elixir was very small. There was no way to detect it at all." Yi Qing continued. It was because Master said that the elixir was smelly that he asked Master to analyze it. "That little bit of Yin Qi will not affect your cultivation. At most, it will leave a mark in your divine perception."
"So …" Lonemoon looked at the two of them and narrowed his eyes. "You deliberately used the recipe to make such a big fuss. You wanted to enter the elixir room of that shop to see if there was Soul Extracting Powder?"
"That's right!" Yi Qing answered righteously.
"Father Niu, we put in a lot of effort!" Shen Ying looked serious.
"Effort my ass!" Lonemoon exposed her directly. "Forget about Chef. Do you think I can't tell that you actually did it for food?!"
"Don't mind such details."
"What details? If you have the guts, don't hide the storage bag. Open it and let me see! "
Shen Ying immediately took out the storage bag behind her and secretly stuffed it to Chef. She shook her head decisively. "What snacks?" She had no guts in the first place.
"…" Do you think I'm blind? She already said it was snacks!
