Chapter 1001 Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger
Chapter 1001: Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers After having their own cave dwelling, it seemed that they no longer had any other necessary living expenses.
After returning from the Western Heavenly Gate, Xiao Han bought talisman jade slips containing tens of thousands of divine stones on a large island closest to the gate.
I plan to spend these few years on Xishan Island without making any money, just learning and comprehending the Dao of Talismans, improving my energy conservation in drawing talismans in the void, and enjoying leisurely days.
Because Xiao Han often spent a divine stone to buy a pot of coarse tea and while away half a day there, listening to the old residents of the town chat, she gradually became familiar with everyone.
That day, Fatty Wang from the restaurant came over to announce that he had developed another signature dish, and anyone who wanted to try it could come over.
Several old tea drinkers who spent their days idly and lazy, along with the tea shop owner, Master Xin, went to Fatty Wang's restaurant together.
Calling it a restaurant is a gross understatement of the word.
It's actually just a small restaurant with only two or three tables.
Whether you eat and drink here depends on Fatty Wang's mood. If he's in a good mood, he'll show off his signature dish. If he's in a bad mood, he won't cook for you even if you offer him a lot of divine stones.
Cultivators who have reached this level of cultivation rarely indulge in gluttony, so his restaurant is actually quite deserted.
But since everyone lives here, after a while, it's become a bit awkward to refuse each other. If Fatty Wang ever develops a new dish, everyone will go and support him.
Xiao Han had been here for several months, and this was her first time eating at Fatty Wang's restaurant.
Wang Pangzi was a middle-aged male cultivator. Perhaps adhering to the principle that cooks in the mortal world are fat because they are oily, he, as a cultivator, was also chubby and round.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fatty Wang waved his large ladle and shouted, "Everyone should contribute ten divine stones for the cost of the ingredients."
Everyone tacitly took out ten divine stones and placed them on the table.
Xiao Han also took out ten divine stones and placed them over.
Wang Pangzi used his spiritual power to collect the divine stone and then began cooking.
Soon, a large pot of soup made with red, fish-roe-like berries and snake meat was ready.
Looking at the food in the bowl, Xiao Han felt that it didn't look very appealing and began to doubt Wang Pangzi's cooking skills.
Is this some kind of culinary disaster?
She carefully scooped up a spoonful with a soup spoon and put it in her mouth to taste.
The next moment, her eyes lit up.
The taste was very strange; Xiao Han couldn't describe it at all.
But after taking one bite, she really wanted to take another.
The formation master, Old Man Yu, exclaimed loudly, "Fatty Wang, this soup is excellent, delicious!"
Fatty Wang's round, fleshy face was squinting with laughter.
Whether you're a mortal chef or a chef from the divine realm, the feeling is the same when your skills are recognized.
At this moment, Xiao Han was not only marveling at Wang Pangzi's cooking skills, but also at the special environment here.
Wasn't the area outside the Western Heavenly Gate supposed to be a chaotic place? Why is it that she feels a sense of peace and tranquility here, without any pressure?
This place is like another kind of paradise.
Xiao Han never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Just as everyone was enjoying the delicious food and praising it, a graceful female cultivator dressed in green walked over.
There was an undisguised cold glint in her eyes.
Perhaps it was the sheer coldness in her gaze that made everyone in the small restaurant stop enjoying their food and look up at her.
Xiao Han felt the pressure emanating from the female cultivator, which was comparable to that of the Divine Official Zhou, and immediately realized that she was at least a Divine Lord Realm cultivator.
The female cultivator entered the restaurant, her gaze sweeping over the soups and broths served to everyone, a sinister smile playing on her lips.
"Is this soup delicious?"
Because she was standing next to Old Man Yu, he subconsciously nodded and replied, "Yes."
The nun asked again, "Who did this?"
Fatty Wang puffed out his chest. "Of course it's me."
The next moment, the female cultivator waved her sleeve, and a cloud of green mist enveloped Fatty Wang.
Xiao Han was immediately shocked.
Wang Pangzi's cultivation level is only at the True God Realm. If a cultivator at the Divine Lord Realm attacks him, he's in big trouble.
Unexpectedly, a light shield suddenly rose from Fatty Wang's body, blocking out the entire cloud of green mist.
Meanwhile, Old Man Yu and several other diners at the True God Realm had already rolled up their soup bowls and slipped out of the small restaurant.
Seeing this, Xiao Han also picked up the soup bowl and slipped out.
This bowl of soup costs ten divine stones, and she would be heartbroken if she wasted it.
At this moment, only Xin, the female cultivator from the teahouse, and Wang, the fat man, remained in the room.
The green-clad female cultivator looked surprised when she saw that Fatty Wang had withstood her attack. Just as she was about to launch another attack, she heard the female cultivator Xin frown and say, "Wait until I finish this bowl of meat soup before you attack."
Xiao Han was even more surprised.
Isn't the teahouse owner, Master Xin, also a True God Realm cultivator? Why doesn't she care at all about the green-robed female cultivator at the Divine Lord Realm?
Sure enough, upon hearing her speak, the green-clad female cultivator turned and enveloped Xin with a cloud of green mist.
The next moment, something happened that both shocked and angered her.
A light shield also rose from Xin Nuxiu's body, blocking all the green mist.
Inside the light barrier, Xin, the female cultivator, was still leisurely savoring the meat soup, as if the attack from the green-clad female cultivator was nothing to worry about.
The green-clad female cultivator was unwilling to accept what she had seen with her own eyes. She sensed it again and found that both of them were at the True God Realm. She had not sensed anything wrong.
This time, she didn't use poison again, but instead attacked directly, striking at Xin Nuxiu.
This time, she seemed determined not to hold back; the power of her magic caused the entire restaurant's protective barrier to light up.
Seeing that things were going badly, Fatty Wang hurriedly expanded the beam of light, covering all the cooking utensils he had been showing off.
However, the green-clad female cultivator's palm strike was clearly too powerful. Even though he wasn't the one being attacked, it still caused his protective shield to flicker intensely and almost break.
Fatty Wang waved his hand, putting away his tools, and then angrily said, "You crazy witch, let's go outside and have a go!"
Xin, the female cultivator, was struck by a palm strike, but her protective aura didn't even flicker.
She swallowed the food in her mouth and chuckled, "She doesn't just go crazy randomly. If you use her body to make soup, she'll definitely want you dead."
Xiao Han then understood why the green-clad female cultivator had attacked without any apparent reason; it turned out she was a snake demon at the Divine Lord realm.
However, both Fatty Wang and Nvxiu Xin were originally at the True God Realm, yet they both ignored the menacing snake demon, clearly indicating that both of them were concealing their cultivation levels.
At this moment, apart from the table and chairs in front of Xin Nuxiu, everything else in the shop had been crushed into dust by the snake demon.
Seeing that Fatty Wang had slipped out of the restaurant, the green-clad female cultivator probably realized that she couldn't handle Xin, so she also slipped out and chased after Fatty Wang to fight in the sky.
This place is full of hidden talents!
Xiao Han had always thought that everyone's cultivation level was the same, but now she realized that not only the green-clothed snake demon had been misjudged, but she herself had as well.
