“The Super New Orleans…?”
What Xu Que said had confused Lord Zeng.He had never heard of that long and awkward name. Faintly spoken, he had only heard the Invincible Drumstick clearly.
“My young friend, do you want me to eat drumsticks?” Lord Zeng was surprised.
“It’s not just a drumstick! Wait, Lord Zeng, are you a vegetarian?” Xu Que remembered Lord Zeng could be a monk. If he was a vegetarian, his drumstick burger would be useless!
“Why should I be a vegetarian? We also eat animals. However, I have been in a stage for many years where normally I don’t eat anything!” Lord Zeng shook his head. Then he continued to say, “My young friend, why are we talking about food? We shouldn’t talk about this topic at this time!”
“No, that’s exactly what I want to say. Frankly speaking, the Exploding Heavens Faction is pretty good at making Medicated Diets, which are more effective than any elixirs and pills. You’ve seen the effect of the Spicy Strips just now. It happened that we also have a kind of drumstick burger which could enhance one stage for the user! Of course, just like the Spicy Strips, it is only effective when it is eaten for the first time!” Xu Que said in a low voice mysteriously.
Lord Zeng was totally shocked. He had seen the effect of the Spicy Strips, which were so powerful! He even planned to buy one Spicy Strip for himself by spending 500,000 best-grade Spirit Stones at the discount price of friends.h.i.+p. But now Xu Que told him another Medicated Diet could enhance a cultivation stage instantly, which shocked him and he didn’t even have time to doubt it.
If such a miraculous thing really existed, he would definitely step into the celestial realm. As long as he could cross the final Heavenly Tribulation, he would become a legendary Celestial!
“My young friend, do you really have that?” Lord Zeng asked, his eyelids twitching.
From his voice, Xu Que could sense Lord Zeng was not as calm as before! “How could I fool you with this? Moreover, even I don’t have it, you still have to fulfill your promise by helping me, right?” Xu Que said confidently with a faint smile.
Lord Zeng could say nothing to answer him. He opened his mouth but had to nod his head with a wry smile, “My young friend, what you said is right! Even if you don’t have it, I still need to keep my promise. A Buddhist shall never break his word!”
“So, just don’t worry, Lord Zeng. I will definitely give it to you at that time. Also, I don’t need you to fight the Emperor with all your strength. What you need to do is just to distract him, so that we could have time to seize the G.o.d-realization Tree. After that, you could enhance your cultivation stage by eating the burger, which will free you from the concern about the Emperor’s revenge in the future!” Xu Que said, patting Lord Zeng’s shoulder like an old man.
It seemed Lord Zeng had made up his mind. He said, nodding his head without hesitation, “As you said, I’ve made a promise and I will honor it. As for that Medicated Diet of the Invincible Drumstick, if you could give it to me, I will owe you one more favor!”
“Great! I like cooperating with a straightforward person like you! Then, it is a deal. We will leave three days from now!” Xu Que laughed delightedly as he reached an agreement with Lord Zeng by shaking hands.
That day, Lord Zeng arranged for Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan to live in the paG.o.da. It was a quiet place. The smell of incense in the paG.o.da was not as strong as outside. Faint smells of sandalwood permeated the air, which was so refres.h.i.+ng and could even accelerate the speed of cultivation.
Xu Que took out the Celestial Concealment Herb given by Lord Zeng and gave it to Jiang Hongyan.
Now a strand of Jiang Hongyan’s soul was trapped in the G.o.d-realization Tree. The Emperor could track Jiang Hongyan’s actions with her soul easily.
However, she was in the Myriad Buddhas Sect, which was far away from the Tong Tian Nation. Together with the effect of the restrictive spells here, the Emperor couldn’t sense her current location temporarily. But she would still be spotted after leaving the Myriad Buddhas Sect. Therefore, this Celestial Concealment Herb was extremely useful at this moment!
Jiang Hongyan received the herb and refined it with magic arts immediately.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Celestial Concealment Herb flew into the air and was floating above Jiang Hongyan’s head. Then, it was turned into dazzling starbursts that drizzled down slowly.
When the Celestial Concealment Herb disappeared, Jiang Hongyan’s aura was almost concealed. Even Xu Que, who was sitting beside her, couldn’t sense her if he didn’t try to find her deliberately!
“It is OK now!” Jiang Hongyan opened her eyes and said in a low voice as she looked at Xu Que gently.
“OK. Lord Zeng will distract the Emperor; we will sneak into the Imperial Palace and seize the G.o.d-realization Tree. Then, we could go back to the territory of the Heaven Orc Tribe before we find a way to go back to the Four Continents!” Xu Que nodded with a smile for he was quite satisfied with this plan.
Jiang Hongyan also knew the success rate of this plan was quite high. With the help of Lord Zeng, they were as powerful as the Emperor now. At least, they were strong enough to confront the Emperor directly!
…
At the same time, at the top level of the paG.o.da, Lord Zeng was looking at his daughter with a weird expression. The little Princess was putting the Spicy Strips into her mouth one after another, which were so delicious for Lord Zeng. However, he didn’t want to ask his daughter to give him a Spicy Strip. Moreover, Xu Que had given the entire pot of the Spicy Strips to his daughter, and he couldn’t buy one from Xu Que with 500,000 best-grade Spirit Stones anymore.
“Daddy, this one is for you!” The little Princess said, picking up a Spicy Strip considerately at this time as if she knew what her father was thinking.
Lord Zeng swallowed and said with a wry smile, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry now.”
“No, just eat it, daddy!” The little Princess insisted as she poked the Spicy Strip into Lord Zeng’s face, which stained his face with many chile sauces. Lord Zeng couldn’t help but smile. Without further rejection, he opened his mouth and bit the Spicy Strip. After enjoying the unique chewiness and delicate flavor of the Spicy Strip, he felt a magnificent strength appear in his mind suddenly, which even made his body tremble. Instantly, he opened his eyes in surprise.
Even though he knew the effect of this Spicy Strip before, he was still shocked after tasting it personally. The effect of a Medicated Diet made from ordinary bean curd skin could be so extraordinary. It was even more effective than any pills and elixirs!
“With this, I managed to increase my Soul Strength 50 percent easily. I guess I will be more powerful than the Emperor after enhancing my Taoist Connotation by comprehending my Tao again!” At the thought of this, Lord Zeng was really looking forward to the drumstick burger mentioned by Xu Que.
“Thanks to the blessing of Buddha. That guy is a little bit weird and perverse. However, he is a man of justice who saved my daughter and brought me such a precious opportunity! In comparison, I will only distract the Emperor for him, which is nothing to speak of!”
He murmured in a low voice as he shook his head with a faint smile, “Anyway, I didn’t expect the celebrated Empress of our Xuanzhen Continent could fall in love with that guy, which is so astonis.h.i.+ng!”
…
Three days pa.s.sed rapidly.
Xu Que kept sitting in meditation in these days, so that his Taoist Connotation could reach the perfect condition. He used the 50,000 points of Skill Essence in his Heaven and Earth Seal, which even improved the Fantasy Killing Seal to the summit condition. During this period, he also wandered around in the paG.o.da and tried to steal some magic arts from Lord Zeng, so that he could sell them to the System.
However, he only found Buddhist scriptures in this paG.o.da, which were not powerful magic arts. Xu Que gave up his plan directly. Anyway, now the Heaven and Earth Seal was still less powerful than the King of Tough-Acting Fist. He shouldn’t be anxious for the enhancement of its power.
Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked at the door of Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan early in the morning.
They woke up from their cultivation and opened their eyes. Then, they heard Lord Zeng’s voice coming in from outside, “Guys, it’s time for us to leave for the Imperial Palace now!”
