In the sky, Qi Qingyao's heart was constantly ringing with alarm.
In the small shop below.
Li Yang had just finished cooking a big pot of golden egg-fried rice. He carried the hot pot to the table outside the restaurant and put it down.
Just as Li Yang was about to pick up the spoon and scoop the rice.
Wu Xu, who was at the front of the line, tried his best to gulp a few times and forcefully suppressed his urge to eat immediately. Like the others, he placed a spirit coin in Li Yang's bowl and then said impatiently, "Junior Brother, your fried rice is too delicious!
Honestly, this is the second time I've queued up here!"
"Thank you for your support, senior brother."
Li Yang smiled and nodded. Then, he scooped a bowl of rice for Wu Xu.
To everyone's surprise, the tall Wu Xu suddenly sighed when he saw the golden egg fried rice in his bowl. He stood there without moving and raised his head to look at Li Yang behind the table.
"What are you doing? Take the food and leave!"
"That's right. Senior brother, you've already eaten. Don't hold up the queue!
"Senior brother, if you can't eat it, you can give it to me!"
Hearing everyone's urging, Wu Xu frowned, turned around, and shouted, "Silence! I'm just thinking for you!"
After speaking, Wu Xu turned around and said while eating the egg-fried rice, "Junior Brother, please don't take offense. I have some heartfelt words to say.
Your food is indeed delicious. It's not that I haven't seen the world. At least, among all the delicacies I've eaten, there's no better food than your food.
But now, Junior Brother, you're all alone. You can't split yourself up. So many people are waiting, and there will be more in the future. If we don't come at the first moment ...
I'm afraid we won't be able to enter Junior brother's shop."
"Senior brother, do you have any ideas?"
Hearing Wu Xu's words, Li Yang asked in confusion.
"Of course, Junior Brother, you're a cultivator. I think you can extend the opening hours of the shop!"
"It's best if you do it from morning to night! This way, we can still get in even if it takes some time!"
Wu Xu said excitedly as he ate.
After hearing Wu Xu's suggestion, the crowd, who thought that Wu Xu had been occupying the front seat and couldn't leave, suddenly became excited.
That's right!
Li Yang was the only one doing all the work. Even if everyone had a big bowl of rice, it would only be enough to accommodate a dozen people.
But just on this Northern Crimson Peak ...
Today, a few hundred people came. When they returned, Li Yang's store's reputation would probably resound throughout the outer 72 peaks.
There was no way to estimate how many people would come.
If that happened, even if Li Yang was busy from morning to night, he might not be able to receive everyone.
Unless Li Yang was open 24 hours a day, in that case, even if one came late, he would still be able to get his turn in the queue!
"What senior brother said makes sense!"
"That's right, Junior Brother, do me a favor! If I don't eat this food, how can you ask senior brother to cultivate in peace!"
"That's right, that's right. There are only a few people today, and we must queue for a long time. If Junior Brother still doesn't extend the time, then I'm afraid we won't be able to get in for ten days or half a month in the future!"
After considering it for a while.
The crowd started shouting, all trying to persuade Li Yang to stay longer.
When the voice reached the outside, the other people still in line heard that he was trying to persuade Li Yang to extend the business hours and echoed him one after another.
"Senior brothers, please be quiet. I don't like noise!"
He listened to the noise that filled his ears.
Li Yang frowned and pointed at the 'No noise' and 'Wash your own dishes' signs on the wall today.
Seeing Li Yang's actions, Wu Xu, standing at the front, immediately shut his mouth.
The others also quieted down. Some people wanted to shout, but before they could make a sound, they were pressed down by the people around them.
"What are you shouting for? You've made Junior brother unhappy.'
"Where would we go to eat such delicious fried rice?"
"Senior brothers, I will remember your support in my heart.
However, cooking is just a side profession for Junior Brother. I can earn some spirit coins to maintain my livelihood!
Although my Junior brother's aptitude is dull, I still have a heart inclined toward Dao. I still have to take out a lot of time to cultivate! I only opened the shop to exchange more resources to assist my cultivation.
So, don't mention the extension of the opening time again."
Li Yang raised his voice slightly.
"Junior Brother ..."
Seeing that Li Yang was about to leave, Wu Xu hurriedly tried to advise him.
"Senior brother, please don't mention it again.
"Go and eat quickly, and don't hold up the other senior brothers and sisters in line.
Ultimately, we cultivators still consider cultivation the most important thing. How can we let a mere desire for food tie down our senior brothers?
As an in-name disciple, I have to cultivate diligently. Only then will I have a chance to break through the barrier and advance on the path of cultivation!
You have to know that you will fall back if you don't advance!"
Without waiting for Wu Xu to finish, Li Yang immediately turned around, his expression extremely solemn.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Junior Brother is right."
Li Yang's righteous words made Wu Xu speechless. A trace of shame flashed across his square face. He cupped his hands at Li Yang and quickly left with his bowl.
"Junior Brother, senior brother Wu's words were unreasonable."
"It's our duty as cultivators if you want to cultivate. However, you're still in the Qi refining stage. This stage involves training your muscles and bones and expanding your Qi and blood."
"As long as enough resources exist, even plants and rocks can rise!"
"Junior Brother, instead of collecting those measly spirit coins every day, why don't we just give you the resources, and you can open the shop with peace of mind!"
A disciple behind Wu Xu came up with a bowl and shouted.
"Yeah! Junior Brother, don't worry; it's just resources. The monthly resources will be distributed on the mountain today, and I'll give you my share! You can focus on running the shop!"
"I'll give you mine too. Don't worry, Junior Brother. We won't go back on our word!"
"Junior Brother, please stay open for a while longer!"
After this disciple proposed this plan, the others immediately expanded their thoughts.
" That's right; Junior Brother didn't want to open the shop too long because he feared delaying his cultivation. So many of us; each can take out some resources and directly push Junior brother's realm up!"
His voice traveled out of the store.
The other disciples also heard that the person in front wanted to use resources to exchange for more time for Li Yang. They were excited and shouted that they would also give their monthly resources to Li Yang.
