The old man craned his neck and stared at Blacky. Blacky rolled its eyes and glared at the old man.
What did this old man just say? Was it a waste for a dog to eat the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? A waste?
Blacky was immediately displeased. Why couldn't a dog eat the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs? What did a dog do to an old man like you?
Therefore, Blacky fiercely bared its teeth at the old man. There were still shreds of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs between its teeth …
"Oh, this dog is so amusing. Why is it bared its teeth? Is it trying to bite me? " The old man waved the fan in his hand made from an unknown spirit beast's feather and suddenly laughed.
"Sigh, what a pity for the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs." The old man looked at the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in Blacky's bowl and sighed. He turned around and was about to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, an enormous pressure suddenly landed on the old man's body. The old man who had just taken a step forward suddenly turned limp and his entire body almost knelt on the ground.
The old man's pupils constricted as he looked around in disbelief. This frightening pressure … simply caused his soul to tremble. He was a seventh grade Battle-Saint who had been famous for a long time, yet he almost knelt in front of the store.
If he really knelt, it would be a great disgrace.
Blacky stuck out its tongue and licked its dainty dog paw. It snorted and then raised its paw and lightly waved it at the old man.
The old man had no idea what was happening. At that moment, his back was facing Blacky and he did not know where the pressure that seemed to be gathering from all directions came from.
Bang!!
The old man's wrinkled face trembled. His entire body felt as if it was being crushed by a mountain. With a loud bang, he fell to the ground, as if deeply embedded into the ground …
What the heck! What was going on! What exactly was going on?
The old man raised his dust-covered head with a dumbfounded expression. He really did not know what had happened. He was inexplicably beaten to the ground by an invisible pressure. Did he have to be so unlucky? Did he offend someone? If you have the guts … come out and fight me!
The old man wanted to cry but had no tears. The sage-like temperament that he had painstakingly created was destroyed just like that.
A hint of arrogance flashed across the black puppy's eyes, and it licked its paws again. 'How dare you speak ill of the Lord Gou in front of the Lord Gou. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know that the Lord Gou's surname is Black!'
Then, Blacky continued to fiercely chew on the porcelain plate in front of him. Not long after, he finished all the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs on the porcelain plate.
The old man crawled up from the ground in a dusty manner. His face was as unsightly as if he was suffering from constipation. This store is poisonous … Could it be that there is a supreme expert keeping watch? But I didn't say anything bad about him just now. He only said that it was a waste to let a dog eat Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs …
Dog... eh? Dog?
The old man seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head suspiciously and glanced at the black dog that was wagging its tail and continuing to chew on the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs …
The more the old man looked, the more his pupils constricted. Previously, he did not carefully examine the black dog. Now, after careful observation and perception, he could feel an extremely terrifying aura slowly flowing around the big black dog's body.
This dog … was not an ordinary dog!
After giving the big black dog a fearful glance, the old man turned around and stepped into the store.
Once he entered the store, the rich aroma of the dishes wafted through the air and instantly entered the old man's mouth and nose, causing his entire body to tremble.
"Smells so good! This aroma … How many years has it been since I smelled it! "The old man, with his dusty head, exclaimed with a face full of surprise.
Ouyang Xiaoyi charmingly walked in front of the old man and asked, "Grandpa, take a look and see what you would like to eat. Fang Fang's Little Store has always operated with integrity. Our prices are reasonable and we never cheat anyone. You can take a look at the menu behind you and tell me what I would like to eat."
The old man was slightly taken aback and turned his head to look at the menu. It would have been fine if he did not look at it, but once he did, the old man's expression once again became comical.
"As a Ghost Chef, even the dishes I cook do not dare to sell at such a high price. This store … actually dares to set such a frightening price?! And they even say the prices are reasonable and they never cheat anyone? " The old man was dumbfounded and in disbelief. Anyone who saw the menu for the first time would be shocked by the frightening prices on the menu.
"You little doll, you're not being honest. You call the prices reasonable and they never cheat anyone?" the old man said with dissatisfaction.
"The prices are very reasonable. Look, even at such a high price, aren't everyone eating happily?" Ouyang Xiaoyi said.
The old man was momentarily stunned. He looked toward Fatty Jin and the others who were gorging themselves and his expression suddenly became a little strange. He had just taken a look at the price of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. A plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs cost fifty crystals …
A dog had just eaten a dish that cost fifty crystals.
The old man felt as if stepping into the store was the beginning of a series where humans were inferior to dogs …
"Give me a plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs." The old man thought about it and finally ordered a plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. The first dish he saw was Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and he had long been captivated by its aroma. Hence, he wanted to properly taste the taste of this Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs. So what if it cost fifty crystals?
As a Ghost Chef, the old man was not short of money.
"Take a seat first," Ouyang Xiaoyi said. Then she turned around and went to the kitchen window. She yelled at Bu Fang, "Give me a plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs."
Bu Fang nodded and continued to cook the dish in his hand.
The old man sized up the interior of the store. The environment here was completely different from the restaurant he had built in Qingyangzhen. The former had a winding path leading to a secluded place, giving off a mysterious atmosphere. As for the latter, the customers were all passionate adventurers, so the atmosphere here was completely different.
"This is?!" The old man's gaze froze again because he seemed to have seen something extraordinary.
Hurriedly taking a few steps, the old man came to the location of the earthy yellow flower pot. He squatted in front of it, his face solemn and dignified.
Closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath, the tender leaves on the branch emitted a faint spirit energy. This spirit energy was not dense, and the old man could not help but be intoxicated by it.
"This … Could this be the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree? But … didn't Ah Wei say that the owner of the store had just received this reward? What's going on with this small branch of the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree? "The old man was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that he could not understand this world.
A few days ago, Owner Bu should have received the seed of the Path-Understanding Tree. But after growing it in this ugly flower pot for a few days, the seed broke out of its cocoon and developed into a branch. On it, there were tender leaves densely covered with five stripes spirit channels.
"He … He actually managed to grow this Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree? This Owner Bu … What kind of divine being is he?! "
The old man's heart was already overwhelmed with shock. He suddenly felt an urgent need to meet Bu Fang.
"The survival of the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree is no small matter. Emperor Changfeng has obtained this spirit tree seed for so many years and has been cultivating it for so many years, yet it has not sprouted at all. Now that Bu Fang has only planted it in the store for a few days, the tender Five Stripes Path-Understanding Leaves have already sprouted."
The old man took in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. If the name of the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree were to spread, the store would once again be at the heart of the struggle.
And this time, it would be even more dangerous.
The Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit Tree would bear fruit. This Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit was not something that an ordinary Three Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit could compare to. Once eaten, there was a high chance of gaining enlightenment.
Especially when the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree was growing, it would constantly emit a mysterious aura. If one was enveloped in this mysterious aura, it would be easier for them to break through.
Therefore, almost every cultivator was very clear on how precious the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit was.
To give a simple example, the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit was a frightening spirit herb that had the ability to help a seventh grade Battle-Saint touch the barrier to eighth grade War-God. Just the fact that it could help a seventh grade Battle-Saint touch the barrier to eighth grade was enough to drive many people crazy.
At this moment, the old man looked at the Path-Understanding Fruit Tree and even his heart was filled with greed.
He was also a seventh grade Battle-Saint, and he too yearned to touch the barrier to eighth grade …
How many seventh grade Battle-Saints were there in the entire continent … How many Battle-Saints were stuck between seventh grade and eighth grade? At this time, a Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit would give them a sense of hope in a desperate situation. This would naturally attract the covetous eyes of many experts.
"A small store in the Imperial City actually planted a living Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree … A man's wealth is his own ruin. I'm afraid this store will soon cease to exist," the old man murmured.
Bu Fang finished cooking the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, wiped away the water stains on his hands, and slowly walked out of the kitchen. He just happened to see the old man in a gray robe squatting in front of the earthy yellow flower pot, staring blankly at the tender shoot.
This caused him to be momentarily stunned.
This old man … Staring blankly at the store's future greenery, what was going on? Could it be that this old man knew the breed of this tender shoot?
Bu Fang had always been curious about the breed of this small tree. If the old man knew, Bu Fang could ask.
