Seek Dao Sect operated many businesses which provided various entertainment services for its cultivators. Cultivation wasn’t practicing in seclusion to death, and an uninteresting life would not lead to immortality, hence the entertainment businesses were vital.

For instance, the aforementioned Sichuan Hot Pot and the Hundred Fragrance Building which the trio were heading to.

Lu Yang had heard that Seek Dao Sect used to not operate in this manner. Previously, cultivation was cultivation, indulging in these miscellaneous things could hamper one’s devotion to seeking the Dao.

But once the older Sect Leader and Elders retired, and the new Sect Leader and his eight Elders took control, Seek Dao Sect took on a whole new life, encouraging their members to strike a balance between training and leisure.

In their words, if these things could affect one’s devotion to seeking the Dao, then they’re not fit to become immortals.

Lu Yang felt that the current Seek Dao Sect had lost its proper discipline. When he became one of the high-ranking members of the Sect, he would definitely reform it.

The Hundred Fragrance Building was bustling with patrons, many Seek Dao Sect disciples liked to gather here to eat and share their experiences and revelations from their tasks or training.

At the very least, the food here was more palatable than in the canteen.

“Waiter, I made a reservation for table number nine, three sets of bowl and chopsticks.”

“Alright, please take your seats.”

They were seated on the second floor, the appetizing aroma from other tables whiffed by, stimulating their appetites while making them salivate.

Lu Yang kept his eyes on the waiter for quite some time until the waiter disappeared at the stairs. He realized he couldn’t see through the waiter’s cultivation level.

Both Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye were looking around curiously.

Lu Yang usually had his meals on Sky Gate Mountain, while Tao Yaoye knew how to cook, so they didn’t have to come here.

Meng Jingzhou, familiar with such places, said, “Never been here before, right? Let me tell you, there are lots of delicious dishes here that you can’t imagine.

Just take a look at the menu.”

Lu Yang opened the menu, the first page immediately grabbed his attention.

The first page didn’t contain any dishes, but a clear notice: “We only serve finished dishes, we do not sell raw ingredients. Please understand.”

The actual menu started from the second page, where all the dishes had two prices: “Contribution Points” and “Spirit Stones”.

“Steamed Lightning Tribulation Liquid, the essence of lightning left after a cultivator passes their tribulation. It greatly aids in understanding the Dao of lightning.”

“Braised Ice Abyss Mammoth, the Ice Abyss Mammoth which lives in the extreme north is the dominant species there. A grown Ice Abyss Mammoth can shatter glaciers with a stomp and face down avalanches without falling.

“Tomato scrambled eggs. We offer a variety of eggs including common chicken eggs, Eight Treasures Chicken Eggs, and Golden Wing Roc Eggs.

Looking at the prices, Lu Yang couldn’t help but gasp. Clearly, these dishes weren’t meant for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage like them, who couldn’t afford it.

However, there were also things that he could afford, such as Stir-fried fasting pills, and so on.

Seeing Lu Yang’s furrowed brows, Tao Yaoye assumed he was apprehensive about the prices and couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Are you having a problem?”

“Look, fasting means consuming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instead of food. Taking fasting pills would allow you to fast.”

“Right.” Tao Yaoye nodded.

“Well, wouldn’t you say if you eat stir-fried fasting pills, would it count as eating or fasting?”

Tao Yaoye and Meng Jingzhou were taken aback at once. At first, they regarded this question as absurd, but after thinking it over, they found the question profoundly intriguing.

They called over the waiter and asked him, but even the waiter, who had worked there a long time, was stumped and had no answer.

Was it because the dishes were slow to arrive and they were bored? “The prices here are quite steep. Do you have enough contribution points?” Lu Yang didn’t dwell on the matter of stir-fry fasting pills, but instead was worried whether they had enough money to cover their meal.

Meng Jingzhou had only done three missions in total, he wouldn’t have earned many points.

Inviting Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye for a feast and then having all three of them wash the dishes seemed like a scenario within Meng Jingzhou’s tastes.

“Why use contribution points? Of course, we use spirit stones.” Meng Jingzhou replied with a voice full of arrogance.

Tao Yaoye looked at Lu Yang in surprise, unsure why he would be concerned about someone from the Meng Family lacking money. “Haven’t you heard of the Meng Family?” she asked.

Lu Yang was confused, “Is Meng Jingzhou’s Meng Family very famous?”

The Central Continent was expansive and there were many families bearing the name of Meng. Lu Yang had no way of knowing which Meng Family Meng

Jingzhou was from.

Even though he had known Meng Jingzhou for a long time, Meng Jingzhou had never talked about his family.

When Meng Jingzhou had come to Seek Dao Sect to participate in the trial, he didn’t bring any senior relatives along. Lu Yang thought that his family had declined and was relying on Meng Jingzhou, who had the Single Body Spiritual Root, to revitalize the family.

“The most famous one.”

Lu Yang was flabbergasted, realizing which Meng Family Meng Jingzhou was from.

There were many Meng Families, but if one had to say which was the most famous, it would definitely be the Meng Family from Imperial City.

“Is it…the Imperial City Meng Family that fought side by side with the ancestors of Emperor Xia to establish the Great Xia dynasty?!”

The news truly shocked Lu Yang. The Meng Family from Imperial City had a significant origin. A hundred thousand years ago, the world was in chaos and it was often said that heroes emerged during such times. The ancestors of the Meng Family and Emperor Xia rose to the challenge and battled across the land. Their feats gave rise to a legendary story that was still widely known today.

The story could be heard from the storytellers in teahouses and seen performed on stage, its popularity never declined.

A hundred thousand years ago, the previous dynasty was plagued with internal strife and external threats, leading to its eventual fragmentation and the start of a chaotic era. The Demon Barbarians and Sea Beasts left their territories, wanting to share the bountiful Central Continent.

The ancestors of the Meng Family rose from their homeland in the east. They went on military expeditions east and west, fought battles across countless miles, forced the Demon Barbarians to flee back to Demon Territory and the Sea Beasts to retreat to the East Sea. All beltway heroes and villains bowed their heads in submission.

The ancestors of the Meng Family led their troops for a thousand years, conquering half the Central Continent, becoming one of the only two overlords.

The other overlord was the ancestor of Emperor Xia, who had also conquered the other half.

Like the ancestor of the Meng Family, the ancestor of Emperor Xia expelled Demon Barbarians and Sea Beasts, putting an end to the chaotic world, ruling over half of Central Continent. It was hard to determine whose achievement was greater.

Everyone at that time believed these two overlords either each controlled half of Central Continent or would start a huge battle for control of the entire continent.

All manner of strategists began making speculations, analyzing who had the advantage and how the underdog could upset the situation with weaker strength.

Unexpectedly, the ancestors of both the Meng Family and Emperor Xia believed that the continent had been in chaos for a thousand years which resulted in countless suffering and bloodshed, resembling the landscape of the underworld. If the war continued, it would not be known how many more years of chaos and deaths would follow.

Their fight across the continent was to restore peace and not for the imperial throne.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Meng Family and Emperor Xia gave up their armies and fought as cultivators in the vast starry sky. That battle cracked the sky and the earth, blocked the light of the sun and the moon, made stars fall, and eventually, the ancestor of Emperor Xia, who was more skilled, emerged the victor.

The ancestor of the Meng Family lost the bet and gracefully stepped down.

Then, the ancestor of Emperor Xia publicly declared that as long as the Great Xia existed for one day, the Meng Family would never perish.

And so it was. After the establishment of the Great Xia, the Meng Family settled in the Imperial City and did not face any repression.
