Time quickly arrived at the next day.

Once again, early in the morning, Jiang Chen, Jin Fugui, and Mo Yu gathered together, then took their things and flew towards [Fire Peak].

“Those three guys really came again!”

“This time I also prepared grilled meat, who’s afraid of who?”

“Although my watermelon isn’t top-grade, and my Spirit Wine isn’t top-grade, mine are cheap!”

The moment Jiang Chen and the other two appeared, many of their competitors became alert. Pairs of eyes stared intently.

Meanwhile, the customers who had tasted the grilled meat yesterday lit up and immediately crowded forward. Many people showed expressions of disdain towards the food in their hands or mouths. Some even spat it out before finishing, throwing the rest on the ground.

Then, holding their Spirit Stones, they crowded in front of Jiang Chen and his companions.

In front of their competitors’ stalls, customers had become as scarce as sparrows before a door. From this, it could be seen that in just one day, Jiang Chen and the others had cultivated quite a few fans.

With such a contrast, the expressions on their competitors’ faces couldn’t be uglier at this moment.

But it wasn’t over yet. Jiang Chen’s next action made them utterly despair.

Jin Fugui set up the display rack. While grilling the meat. While applying the seasoning. When the rich aroma spread and customers were salivating, Jiang Chen suddenly pulled out a signboard with three large characters on it.

“This is to thank all our customers for their support yesterday!”

This move instantly snatched away the few remaining customers from the other stalls, directly monopolizing the market.

“Damn it!” Seeing this scene, who knows how many competitors gnashed their teeth in anger, their hearts even bleeding.

Seeing that it was about enough, Jiang Chen winked at Mo Yu. The latter understood immediately and promptly walked towards another side.

Soon, he arrived in front of a stall with no customers.

The stall owner was a female cultivator who had awakened a Fire Spirit Root. She had considerable experience, insights, and skills in grilling meat. But she lost precisely because of the seasoning sauce. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t replicate the taste of Jin Fugui’s grilled meat in a short time.

Mo Yu said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, you wouldn’t want… to lose money either, right?”

“Aren’t you together with those two guys over there?” Wu Meng was astonished.

Mo Yu nodded lightly. “Yes, we’re together. My name is Mo Yu.”

Wu Meng snorted. “Mo Yu? Are you here to laugh at me?”

Mo Yu grinned. “I’m here to cooperate with you.”

Hearing this, Wu Meng immediately looked dazed. “Cooperate with me?”

Mo Yu pointed across the way. “See how popular our stall is.”

Wu Meng subconsciously nodded upon hearing this. “I see it.”

Mo Yu persuasively said, “Do you… want your business to be this popular too?”

Wu Meng’s expression changed slightly. She couldn’t help but size up the man in front of her. Seeing he seemed like a bookworm, she hesitated slightly before asking in return, “What’s the price?”

Mo Yu shrugged. “Don’t worry, I don’t want you personally. Just ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones to join our team.”

Wu Meng exclaimed, “Ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones!”

Seeing her reaction, Mo Yu couldn’t help but curl his lip. “Think it’s expensive? I’ll just find someone else then! After all, only smart people can make big money.”

He turned and left without wanting to waste any time. However, as he walked away, he muttered to himself, “Ahh, we only earned 60 Mid-grade Spirit Stones yesterday!”

“Fellow Daoist, please wait!” Hearing this astonishing profit figure, Wu Meng quickly ran forward.

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow…

Wu Meng took a deep breath. “Ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones really gets me the seasoning sauce recipe?”

Thinking about their profit from yesterday actually being a full 60 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, she felt incredibly envious and jealous inside.

Mo Yu nodded. “If you’re worried, we can sign a spirit talisman contract.”

“My name is Wu Meng. Fellow Daoist Mo Yu, please wait a moment. I’ll go gather ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones right now.” At this moment, Wu Meng wished she could grow wings and fly. If she missed this chance to get rich, she felt she would wake up during sleep just to slap herself hard.

Seeing this situation, Mo Yu immediately returned to Jiang Chen and Jin Fugui’s side.

Mo Yu whispered, “One female Fellow Daoist is already interested and is preparing Spirit Stones.”

Develop one person first; when others see her making money, naturally more people will hand over Spirit Stones for the seasoning sauce recipe.

Are ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones a lot?

It seems like a lot, but actually not. It’s just right at an awkward position—neither too high nor too low. Ordinary cultivators can grit their teeth and stomp their feet to come up with it. As long as they can earn back their investment, it’s not a loss.

If business is booming and profits exceed ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones, that’s an absolute windfall.

Jin Fugui couldn’t help but say, “I want to go fishing at Black Pool!”

Not long after, Wu Meng hurriedly returned. Standing before the three of them, her gaze shifted back and forth between Jin Fugui, Jiang Chen, and Mo Yu.

Finally looking at the dense crowd of customers around, seeing so many people eating heartily made her heartbeat become fierce. If all these people could become her customers… wouldn’t that mean… getting rich?

Mo Yu asked, “Fellow Daoist Wu Meng, have you gathered enough Spirit Stones?”

Wu Meng immediately took out ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones. “Of course.”

One person joining brings ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

What about ten people? Or even a hundred people?

Instantly, Mo Yu became even more enthusiastic. “Fellow Daoist Wu Meng is indeed smart; you deserve to get rich.”

Wu Meng suddenly hugged the ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones to her chest and said seriously, “Sign the spirit talisman contract first.”

“Of course.” Mo Yu immediately took out a blank contract spirit talisman.

As everyone knows, once a contract is signed it is recognized by the immortal sect. If anyone reneges or goes back on their word without acknowledging it, people from the Punishment Department will come knocking.

Mo Yu complied with the requirements and handed over the seasoning sauce recipe. Wu Meng handed over ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones as the franchise fee.

Jiang Chen said, “Old Jin, teach Fellow Daoist Wu Meng how to apply the seasoning sauce.”

Next, Wu Meng began learning how to apply the seasoning sauce. Actually, it wasn’t troublesome at all; it was even very simple. The slightly difficult part was mainly about the proportions of the seasoning ingredients.

But before long, Wu Meng indicated she had learned it, even trying it out several times quite convincingly.

Jiang Chen and his two companions tasted them one by one, finding that whether in terms of cooking time, texture, or flavor, it was actually quite good.

Jin Fugui immediately announced, “Esteemed customers, today’s grilled meat is already sold out.”

Upon hearing this, the customers all showed expressions of surprise one after another. However, Jin Fugui didn’t offer further explanation but promptly packed up their things instead.

Immediately afterward, the three boarded the Giant Leaf and quickly left this place behind them!

“Our chance has come!”

Just as other competitors were eagerly anticipating their turn…

At that moment, however… Wu Meng revealed a confident smile and started setting up her stall anew!

And her grilled spirit beast meat… whether in texture or flavor… was even better than Jin Fugui’s! This immediately attracted many customers who hadn’t left yet, entering money-making mode within minutes!

Meanwhile… the three who had left on the Giant Leaf began dividing up their Spirit Stone earnings!

A total of ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones!

Jiang Chen took a seventy percent share, so he took seven pieces! Jin Fugui took a twenty percent share, so he took two pieces! Mo Yu took a ten percent share, so he took one piece!

“Although less than yesterday… today only took half an hour though!” Jin Fugui clicked his tongue in amazement!

Jiang Chen instructed, “In future days ahead… you two continue according to today’s pattern: Old Jin grills meat; Old Mo recruits members!”

As for himself… of course he would still be farming the land!

“Okay.”

Both men beside him nodded simultaneously without prior agreement!

Not long after, they arrived at Hundred Zhang Cliff where Black Pool was located!!!
