Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Chapter 122 The Opening of the Spiritual Cuisine Restaurant

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated.

Xiao Xun'er arrived at the street where the food stall was located early in the morning.

Soon, she sensed something was wrong, and when she got closer, she was so shocked that she stopped in her tracks.

The familiar food stall has been completely transformed, looking nothing like it did three days ago.

Although the lintel was still empty, the brand-new look of the entire shop made her almost unrecognizable.

"This..." Xiao Xun'er pushed open the half-closed shop door and went inside.

Just then, I saw Chen Xu coming out of the kitchen.

She looked at Chen Xu, feeling a strange excitement for some reason, and urged, "Can we officially open for business now?"

Chen Xu nodded slightly, offering no further explanation.

He simply walked to the door, picked up the brand-new plaque, and hung it on the lintel.

The four large characters "Ling Shan Xiao Guan" gleamed golden in the morning light.

The moment the plaque was hung up, Xiao Xun'er's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

When she saw the words on the sign, her pupils contracted, and she gasped in surprise:

"A Spiritual Cuisine Restaurant?!"

"Are you some kind of spiritual chef?!"

She turned to look at Chen Xu, her heart filled with surprise.

After all, in Yunzhou, a spirit chef is a very rare profession.

I've heard that the opportunity to taste the culinary skills of spirit chefs can only be found in some large restaurants of the Righteous Alliance and the Cangshan Alliance.

This seemingly ordinary guy in front of me might actually be a spiritual chef?

Chen Xu nodded, acknowledging his identity.

He casually hung the prepared menu on the wall and calmly asked:

"By the way, do you know roughly how much spiritual food is priced in other parts of Yunzhou?"

Upon seeing Chen Xu admit his identity, Xiao Xun'er was surprised, but also somewhat puzzled.

The other party is actually a spirit chef, why doesn't he go to a larger cultivator city to develop his career?

The customer base there is much wider, wouldn't it be much better than this small town of Wutan?

She suppressed her surprise, thought for a moment, and replied, "My older sister mentioned some of this when I was little."

"A typical first-tier spiritual meal costs around fifty low-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu understood.

In the Meteor Sea, the price of a first-tier spiritual dish is usually around twenty or thirty spirit stones.

In Yunzhou, where spirit chefs are scarce, the price is naturally much higher, nearly doubling in value.

Based on the information provided by Xiao Xun'er and the prices in Yunzhou, he picked up a pen and began to mark the prices on the menu.

A first-tier spiritual dish costs around fifty spirit stones.

A second-tier spiritual meal costs two to three hundred spirit stones.

In addition, there are also delicious steamed buns improved by Xiao Jin.

One spirit stone each, good quality and inexpensive, let's use them as a lead generation product.

After marking the menu, Chen Xu looked at its rather plain appearance and felt that something was missing.

Chen Xu secretly pondered, remembering that there was another branch in the Spirit Chef's inheritance that was brewing wine.

We should try to find some brewing methods so that Xiao Jin can learn them.

Only then did Xiao Xun'er notice that there were several second-tier spiritual dishes on the menu.

She looked at Chen Xu with surprise and doubt: "Second-tier spiritual food...this doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Doesn't making second-tier spiritual food require a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu said calmly, "I was merely concealing my cultivation level before."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped concealing his aura, and a spiritual pressure belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator faintly spread out.

Although no pressure was deliberately applied, the difference in spiritual pressure still made Xiao Xun'er feel breathless.

She instinctively took a half step back and quickly bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.

"So you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, senior! I was blind to your greatness before, please forgive me."

Chen Xu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Soon, the signboard of Ling Shan Restaurant caught the attention of passing cultivators.

"Spiritual Cuisine Restaurant?" A middle-aged cultivator passing by stopped, looking at the brand-new signboard and the empty shop, but did not go in immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xun'er, who was still somewhat dazed, and instructed, "Alright, Ling Shan Restaurant is officially open for business. From now on, you will be the only employee in the restaurant."

Xiao Xun'er was stunned, then panicked: "Me? Senior, I don't know how to cook spiritual food..."

"You don't need to do it," Chen Xu interrupted her, gesturing for her to follow.

When Xiao Xun'er arrived at the kitchen, Chen Xu took out the Beast Taming Ring and released one of Shu Changsheng's late-stage Qi Refining rats.

"I will send the dishes to the kitchen by my spirit pet, and you will be in charge of greeting the guests."

Simply record the dishes they ordered and then give them to the Crimson Rat.

It will be responsible for relaying messages, and the prepared spiritual meals will also be delivered to the kitchen by it. Your job is simply to serve them to the guests.

Having given his instructions, Chen Xu said no more, turned around and went back to the courtyard, becoming a hands-off manager.

Xiao Xun'er stood there alone, stunned and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Just then, another Crimson Blood Rat carrying a storage bag ran out of the passage.

Xiao Xun'er picked up the storage bag with a puzzled look and took out five steamers stacked together, which contained steaming hot buns.

A note was pasted on the top of the steamer, with simple and strong handwriting:

The display stand at the store entrance has been equipped with a heating array, which can be activated by injecting spiritual power.

The display stand at the store entrance has been equipped with a heating array, which can be activated by injecting spiritual power.

You can only steal one steamed bun; if you eat more, your spirit stones will be deducted.

Each customer is limited to five buns; no more will be sold.

Also... guests are not allowed in the kitchen. If anyone causes trouble, just shout and I will come out to resolve it.

Xiao Xun'er couldn't resist the aroma of the steamed buns.

Seeing that the note said she could have one, her cool eyes instantly lit up.

She quickly lifted the lid of the steamer and took out a steaming hot bun.

Xiao Xun'er blew a breath and took a bite.

"Hmm!"

Your teeth break through the soft dough, and the piping hot, delicious broth bursts in your mouth.

With just one bite, Xiao Xun'er felt warm all over and looked completely satisfied.

After finishing the steamed bun, she closed the lid, her mind filled with thoughts.

The thought that the senior chef was a second-tier spirit chef, and that she could receive 10% of the shop's profits every month, filled her with excitement.

Then, Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath, not daring to delay, and quickly lifted the steamer and placed it on the display stand at the entrance of the shop.

At the same time, she gathered a wisp of spiritual energy at her fingertips and activated the heating array.

Instantly, the aroma of the steamed buns filled the air and quickly spread.

"What smells so good?"

The rich aroma easily attracted the attention of the monks on the street.

In no time, more than a dozen cultivators gathered at the entrance of the Spirit Cuisine Restaurant.

"Little girl, what are you selling here? Steamed buns?" A bearded monk squeezed to the front and asked, pointing to the steaming basket.

Having calmed herself down, Xiao Xun'er politely explained:

"Yes, these are steamed buns specially made by the spirit chef, one low-grade spirit stone each."
