Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 55: Flourishing Business

He glanced at Lu Yang, then at Meng Jingzhou, and slowly asked. “You came up with these names?”

Lu Yang nodded. “I came up with ‘One More Time Barbeque Shop.’”

Meng Jingzhou also nodded. “I came up with ‘Thank You For Your Patronage Barbeque Shop.’”

In comparison to their ideas, Man Gu felt that the name “Lamb Lamb Lamb Barbeque Shop” was too ordinary.

The first paper Man Gu unraveled was Lu Yang’s, so according to their rules, the barbeque shop would be named “One More Time.”

“By the way, do any of you have a method to conceal your aura waves?” Lu Yang asked.

When they were on the streets, Lu Yang had noticed that many people’s breathing methods had different affinities with spirit energy, so he could verify that they were cultivators. However, when he used his spiritual consciousness to scan them, he couldn't discern their cultivation.

Having one or two people with higher cultivation than himself was still reasonable, but when everyone's cultivation was higher than his, that was clearly impossible. Unlike Taiping Village, although there were many cultivators, it was not to the extent of everyone being minimally at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Upon further contemplation, Lu Yang figured it out. A cultivator’s cultivation determined their status. If they wanted to roam the jianghu without being bullied, they either had exceptional cultivation or hid their cultivation so that others wouldn't dare to recklessly make a move against them.

With how we don't conceal ourselves at all when we go out, we're practically telling everyone that we're greenhorns. If we want to infiltrate the diabolic creed, we need to pretend to be old jianghu veterans.

“I do have one; we used it when hunting back home.” Man Gu took out a sheepskin scroll from his chest pocket. “The prey in the wilderness are very sly; they will run at the slightest hint of danger. If we wanted to be successful, we had to conceal our aura waves and set up an ambush beforehand.”

The Barbarian Tribe Man Gu belonged to had the noblest bloodline in the wilderness. Not only did the Qi Training and Foundation Establishment tribe members go out to hunt, even the Golden Core members who could fast also had to. For the Barbarian Tribe, the prey weren't just for sustenance but rather because they bore the properties of natural treasures.

“But you can't move when you use this secret spell. If you move, the spell is broken.”

The greater the restrictions, the more effective a spell often was. The effects of the sheepskin scroll’s concealment effect alone was enough to rank it among the top three.

“I have an ordinary concealment spell here, but someone who is one major cultivation stage above you can tell your cultivation.” Meng Jingzhou whipped out a bamboo scroll.

It was unclear how long it had been stored as it still emitted a faint bamboo scent. From the quality of the bamboo, one could also discern how extraordinary the spell it recorded was.

There were still a plethora of other spells and magical items he brought from home stored inside his jade pendant. In fact, there were so many that he didn't have enough time to learn all of them.

Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou an odd look. “Didn't you leave your house and family? Where did you get so many good things from?”

“My younger sister secretly gave them to me.”

“Fine.”

The three of them began learning the concealment spell. All of them were promising talents, so it was a walk in the park for them to learn such a small spell. They picked it up in just an hour, and the only thing left was practice.

Lu Yang cupped his fist in gratitude. “When I learn new spells, I'll definitely teach them to you!

It might not look like it, considering how effortless it was for Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou to take out their spells, but Lu Yang knew deep down that the two types of concealment spells were rare. That fully demonstrated their trust in him.

Meng Jingzhou laughed it off, and Man Gu similarly told Lu Yang not to take it to heart.

“Hmm? I remember that this was a teahouse, but it's now a barbeque shop?” Under the curtain of the night, two heroes from the jianghu happened to realize that the original teahouse was gone, now replaced by a barbeque shop with a very interesting name.

“One More Time Barbeque Shop. Oh, what a fragrant smell.”

The two jianghu heroes sniffed the air as the aroma assailed their nostrils and made their mouths water.

“Shall we grab a bite?”

“Let’s go in.”

The two instantly agreed with each other and walked into the barbeque shop.

As soon as they entered, they were flabbergasted by the boisterous atmosphere inside. Customers were clinking cups of wine with one another, wolfing down skewers, downing alcohol heartily, and stuffing themselves with euphoria plastered across their faces. Their voices were so loud that it could almost detach the roof. Burly men who looked like waiters were holding skewers as they ran in and out.

Such a burly waiter; is it to prevent customers from dining and dashing?

“This new shop is so popular?”

The two were quite excited. There must be a reason for the shop to be such a hit; we must try it. They were very lucky as there was only one available table left.

After the two sat down, another waiter by the name of Lu Yang held a small book and walked over, wearing the standard smile of the service industry. “Hello, what would the two of you like to have?”

“Two bottles of wine, one plate of boiled peanuts, thirty lamb skewers, thirty beef skewers, and two servings of roasted potatoes...all mildly spicy. Both of us can't take too much spice.”

“Mmm,” Lu Yang noted. He then sent an auditory message to Man Gu, “Can you adjust your recipe? Your barbeque is too delicious and has attracted too many people. How are we going to spy on Qin Yuanhao?”

Lu Yang hadn't expected Man Gu’s secret recipe to be so “effective.” The first night, a few customers came. The second day, a few tables were filled. The third day, the place was packed. Today was the fourth day, and just as the two jianghu heroes occupied the last table, a queue had already started to form outside.

Lu Yang suspected that by the fifth day, someone would already be asking for reservations or sharing tables with others. On the thirtieth day, they would be able to open a chain store in the neighboring commandery. A year later, there would be two hundred chains in the northern region of the Central Continent. In three years, they would become a sensation across the continent. Five years after that, they would be listed on the stock market...that was if the concept of a stock market existed here.

There's nothing wrong with Man Gu’s recipe right? He didn't add any illegal substance inside the sauce, right?!

This was just a joke. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had tasted the barbeque prepared by Man Gu and found no illegal substance. Although it was indeed delectable, they didn't expect to attract so many customers.

Lu Yang finally realized the reason after a while. I've been constantly eating supreme-quality delicacies at Heaven’s Gate Peak, so my palate is already spoiled. The fact that I still find Man Gu’s barbeque yummy speaks volumes about the uniqueness of his recipe.

In other words, I definitely can't let the shop continue being so popular.

“It seems quite busy downstairs; do you need me to go down and help?” Meng Jingzhou’s lazy voice echoed in their ears.

He was the only one monitoring Qin Yuanhao from the second floor.

“Just stay put and continue spying on Qin Yuanhao. Don't come down and cause trouble!” Lu Yang warned.

If Meng Jingzhou comes downstairs, he's certainly not going to just be a waiter. Based on his understanding of Meng Jingzhou, the latter could deliver a round of xiangsheng comedy even while serving dishes.

Meng Jingzhou let out a big yawn that made the rest sleepy. “But it's really boring on the second floor. It's been four days, but Qin Yuanhao doesn't have any intentions of leaving his house. He either meditates or meditates; he doesn't even have any form of entertainment.

“If you ask me, I'd say that we might as well pretend to be jianghu entertainers. I'll go to Qin Yuanhao’s house to perform xiangsheng comedy while you perform lifting huge vats. While he's distracted, Man Gu can plant an eavesdropping talisman or something.”

Lu Yang and Man Gu completely ignored Meng Jingzhou. The best solution to deal with a talkative fellow was to pretend they didn't exist.

Noticing that no one was paying attention to him, Meng Jingzhou could only change the topic. “Man Gu, are you seriously not considering making the skewers taste worse?”

Man Gu had his own staunch principles. “Our family is a barbeque ancestral clan. All eighteen generations of us can barbecue. I can't ruin the reputation of our Barbarian Tribe!”
