Chapter 235: A Pleasing Face (1/2)
This is not the Shencao Sect, this is clearly the Shennong Sect. This kind of magic that helps plants grow is too much to cultivate spiritual medicine. Spiritual medicine and other things take thousands of years to grow, and only a few people can eat them in the end.
If this kind of magic that helps plants grow can be used to cultivate food, the world would have been able to achieve harmony long ago. The world with spiritual energy is different after all. Any weed infused with spiritual energy can become a spiritual grass and live for hundreds of years. If food with spiritual power can be cultivated, isn’t it spiritual rice?
Then what is the need for Baicao Dan in the future? If warriors are fed with this kind of spiritual rice directly, won’t their strength be able to rise?
Feng Tianzong is not interested in slowly cultivating spiritual rice or something, but as an emperor, he doesn’t need to do it himself, as long as he finds the right person. And this Shencao Sect is obviously the right person in terms of food.
Anyway, the Divine Grass Sect and their Puppet Sect had no grudges before, and the current Great Shang has already gained the upper hand in this mortal dragon fight.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current Great Shang has become the largest vassal among the forces fighting for the dragon this time.
No matter what purpose the people of the Divine Grass Sect have in opening this restaurant in Liaoyuan City, Feng Tianzong feels that they can discuss it. The magical powers of this Divine Grass Sect are too important to his Great Shang. Food is the first necessity of the people, and food is always the most important thing for a dynasty.
Even in the world of immortal cultivation, food is the most important thing. Even the foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir cultivators, who are cultivators with great magical powers in the eyes of ordinary people, cannot get food.
With Feng Tianzong's current knowledge of formations, he can only use formations to make all cities and villages near the cities have good weather and good harvests. This is already the best effort Feng Tianzong can make.
For the rest, they can only rely on iron and wood puppets to increase the labor force. However, the per-acre yield of grain cannot be increased. At most, the grain can be harvested in comparison with the past. However, this kind of harvest can not actually harvest much grain.
Feng Tianzong cannot improve grain varieties, but now he has heard about the characteristics of the Shencao Sect, especially seeing the means of the Shencao Sect, which has revitalized the entire wooden floor and turned it into a living wooden building. In other words, the wooden building under their feet is actually a living plant.
Although this kind of magical power does not have any prospects in terms of combat effectiveness, Feng Tianzong attaches great importance to this ability, which is a resurrection of plants.
Originally, Feng Tianzong wanted to discuss with the third sister about the matter of testing the qualifications of children across the country, but since he talked about the Shencao Sect, Feng Tianzong simply threw the matter of testing qualifications out of the window.
"Sir, your dishes are here, please enjoy." The waiter quickly came up with a large tray. There were more than a dozen dishes on the large tray, and each portion was not small.
The waiter's tray was almost as big as a large tabletop. The waiter held the tray with one hand and lifted it to the highest point. He walked very steadily, showing his profound martial arts skills. Obviously, being able to be a waiter in this Musheng Restaurant also requires fierce competition. Those who are not good at martial arts can't even be a waiter.
Because all the people in Dashang practice martial arts, both men and women, old and young, can eat a lot and can't live without meat. This has also changed places like restaurants.
In the eyes of those who came to Dashang for the first time, the dishes in Dashang's restaurants are extremely expensive, and the quantity is also very large. There is no plate to serve the dishes, all of them are large bowls.
Feng Tianzong and his partner were all dressed in martial arts costumes. Although they served Feng Tianzong and his partner more than a dozen dishes, they were not afraid that they would not be able to finish them and waste them.
"Waiter, call your shopkeeper. I have something to ask." Just when the waiter finished serving the dishes and was about to leave, Feng Tianzong suddenly spoke.
If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. The waiter didn't remind Feng Tianzong about the price of the dishes. With so many delicious dishes and such large quantities, the price of this meal is not cheap. The waiter thought Feng Tianzong wanted to call the shopkeeper to complain. Or he wanted to buy on credit because he didn't have enough money.
"I'm sorry, we don't buy on credit in Musheng Restaurant. Please don't ask me anything else. If you have any other questions, just ask me directly." The waiter is not very old and looks less than 20 years old.
"I can't tell you. Call the one who has the final say here. I have something to ask." Feng Tianzong didn't like this waiter in the first place, so his tone naturally became cold.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask me. I will tell you everything I can tell you, and you don't need to ask me anything I can't tell you. Our shopkeeper is very busy. There are many customers coming to such a big shop every day. If everyone wants to see our shopkeeper, he will be too busy to handle it." The waiter felt humiliated and spoke even more impolitely.
Feng Tianzong just smiled and didn't get angry. He was a founding emperor, and it would be a loss for him to argue with a waiter. He asked directly: "Well, let me ask you first. I want to meet the cultivators of the Shencao Sect and ask them what their purpose is in opening a restaurant in Dashang? Are they going to be spies? Can you answer?"
This question made the waiter dumbfounded. He didn't know what the Shencao Sect was, and he had never heard of it, but he knew that the cultivators were all high-ranking immortal masters and big shots.
He still knew the word spy, and knew that anyone who was related to these two words would end up badly. In the past two years, the constables of the yamen have been promoting it.
It was not a good thing that their Musheng Restaurant was related to spies. Although he didn't know the identities of the handsome man and beautiful woman opposite, he knew that the identities of these two people must be extraordinary, at least they had official identities.
Although the waiter was a little bit immature, he also knew the importance of the matter. He no longer had the previous anger on his face. He slapped himself on the face twice and said, "I'm talking too much. This is really not a question I can answer. I'll go and call the shopkeeper up for you."
Feng Tianzong just waved his hand, motioning him to disappear from his sight. Feng Tianzong was not a murderer. They were all his people, or in other words, they were all the leeks he raised, and they could provide him with time every year. How could he kill them so easily?
He didn't dare to do it again, so that Feng Tianzong would not see it and not be bothered. When it is time to kill, you should kill decisively, but after you get to the top, it will not affect you, so there is no need to be too cruel.
Soon an old man quickly walked up the stairs. The waiter did not follow him. I think he knew that Feng Tianzong did not like him and tried to avoid appearing in front of Feng Tianzong.

"Sir, I wonder who you are?" The shopkeeper was very polite when he came over. This person has no Qi training at all, and is obviously not a cultivator. There are some traces of martial arts practice, but he has not entered the Xiantian realm. To Feng Tianzong, the realms below the Xiantian realm are all like ants, and he cannot rank ants. Therefore, there is no realm division in martial arts before the Xiantian realm.
There are only simple acquired warriors and Xiantian warriors. After the Xiantian realm of martial arts, Feng Tianzong roughly divides them into three stages according to the division of Qi training cultivators.
"You don't need to care who I am. I am from the court. I just want to meet the cultivators of the Shencao Sect behind your Musheng Restaurant. The court has no prejudice against them, but they are cultivators after all. They came to Dashang to open such a large restaurant. The court must understand the situation." Feng Tianzong said kindly.
He wanted to appease these people of the Shencao Sect, even if he was a mortal subordinate, he was very kind, just to express goodwill to the cultivators of the Shencao Sect first.
"Sir, may I ask which government office you are from? General Zhou from the East City Patrol Office often comes to our restaurant for dinner. He is now on the sixth floor. Do you think I should invite him down to explain it to you?" The shopkeeper's tone was very polite, but his words were full of tentative meaning.
It was clear that he did not trust Feng Tianzong. This Musheng Restaurant was so prosperous in Liaoyuan City, and there must be someone taking care of it in the officialdom. Otherwise, he would not be able to open such a big restaurant.
As one of the best restaurants in the capital of Dashang, their Musheng Restaurant has countless dignitaries, so he will naturally not be controlled by a young man.
"No, they can't control this matter. This is a matter between immortal masters. Just tell me directly when the cultivators of the Shencao Sect can come." Feng Tianzong's patience was almost exhausted.
As he spoke, he turned his palm upwards, and a lightning flashed in his palm, making a crackling sound. A small ball of lightning, but it carries huge energy.
Feng Tianzong's strength has greatly improved now. Even a small magical power, when used in his hands, is comparable to a high-level magical power. A small palm thunder contains the terrifying power to destroy the entire Musheng Restaurant.
The shopkeeper was also shocked. He had been in Dashang for so long, but he had never heard of any monks' yamen. But he didn't dare to doubt or neglect Feng Tianzong anymore.
"My guest, I will contact the boss right away. The boss is usually not in the city, but in the mountains outside the city. As long as I send someone to contact him, the boss will be here soon." The shopkeeper said carefully.
If Feng Tianzong hadn't valued the magical power of the Shencao Sect too much, he really wouldn't have been so patient to chat with a mortal here.
"Go quickly." Feng Tianzong waved his hand and said.
"When did Junior Brother become so good-tempered? A Jindan cultivator, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, is so good-tempered. He could have solved the problem by calling the yamen runners, but he actually asked for so long in person." The third sister laughed and joked.
We grew up together, so who doesn't know each other? Third sister Wei Weixian certainly knows Feng Tianzong's temperament very well. Although he is not a tyrant, he is definitely not so approachable.
"It's a private visit! It's to see the real situation of the people. Even if you want to get angry, you shouldn't get angry at these people." Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
"By the way, Third Senior Sister, every August in Da Shang, we will recruit children of appropriate age to join the school, where they will learn literature and martial arts, and prepare for the promotion to higher martial arts colleges and academies in the future.
It is not easy to mobilize the people on a large scale, so why not trouble you to go to various places. I will order the local government to cooperate. What do you think, Senior Sister?" Feng Tianzong changed the subject and said that he did not want to talk about the cultivation of spiritual rice yet. He could not tell Third Senior Sister either.
"Okay, I will listen to you. I will start to go to the schools in various places tomorrow to find qualified disciples." Third Senior Sister nodded in response.
"Third Senior Sister, after you find suitable disciples, hand them over to the government directly, and let the government tell their families that the court will focus on training them and take these children to the capital for training. Just leave these miscellaneous matters to the government." Feng Tianzong urged.
According to the custom of the immortal world, if you meet a suitable disciple, you will take the person away directly. Most cultivators are impatient to deal with mortals.
If Feng Tianzong hadn't said anything, maybe the third sister would have brought the man back directly after she had chosen him. It's not like she couldn't do such a thing.
The third sister rolled her eyes at Feng Tianzong, obviously seeing what Feng Tianzong was thinking. This look was really charming. In Feng Tianzong's eyes, the three thousand concubines in the harem were not as good as the look of the third sister Wei Weixian. If possible, he really wanted to send the third sister to the harem. There were three thousand beauties in the Red Palace, and all three thousand favors were on her.
But now the third sister was obviously a little resistant, and he couldn't force it. Even if he became the emperor, many things couldn't be completely in his way.
"Come and eat. See how their dishes taste!" Feng Tianzong said enthusiastically.
The food in the world of cultivation is actually not as good as that in the mortal world. There are chefs who specialize in food in the mortal world, but there are no cultivators who specialize in food in the world of cultivation.
Although the ingredients in the world of cultivation are better, the food made from good ingredients may not taste good.
Moreover, after the cultivators are promoted to the foundation-building stage, they can already eat wind and drink dew to reduce their appetite. At least the third sister has not eaten a banquet for more than 20 years.
Feng Tianzong tasted a piece of meat, which was very good. Unexpectedly, it was monster meat. This kind of meat is not easy to get. Although Da Shang has set up a monster breeding farm, the monster meat is only provided to students of the martial arts academy and the academy, and it has never been circulated.
No wonder the business of Mu Sheng Restaurant is so hot. It is not only because the restaurant is built high and the scenery is good, but also because of the food.
