Chapter 1860 It’s fine, because I’m rich

As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, Song Shuhang kicked it in the depths of his mind.

Going against big shots wasn’t something he should turn into a hobby.

In fact, every time he ended up having to fight against a big shot, it was a matter of coincidence, and sometimes it was the big shot who was inexplicably making trouble for him. He had rarely taken the initiative to attack them. Regarding this matter which greatly concerned his life, he was still clear of mind.

Moreover, merely knowing Demon Emperor Hezhi did not necessarily mean they were friends. There was a possibility that Senior Shadow had just been a guest of Demon Emperor Hezhi.

I shouldn’t make Senior Shadow my enemy just because he had had a taste of Demon Emperor Hezhi’s Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet.

(I have a grudge with the owner of the steamed bun store next door, so anyone who has eaten his steamed buns is also my enemy.) This logic was simply flawed.

Furthermore… Senior Shadow was a customer introduced by the Almighty Merchant. If he were to provoke Senior Shadow, he would definitely be blacklisted by the Almighty Merchant.

He had just regained his chance to trade with the other party, so he shouldn’t lose sight of the bigger picture.

And so, Song Shuhang quickly put away the thought of stabbing Senior Shadow.

At this moment, Lord Shadow spoke once again. “Little Fellow Daoist, have you improved the recipe for the Braised Heavenly Tribulation?”

Song Shuhang nodded. “It can’t really be said to be an improvement, more like an accident. We accidentally added a Big Dipper to the mix while making the dish. And besides that, in order to make the ingredients more delicious, I tried using a secret technique.” “This dish is really not bad. If I were to rate your Braised Heavenly Tribulation, I would give you an 80 out of 100. While your cooking skills might be far inferior to that other cook, causing the taste of the dish to be affected, adding the Big Dipper to the dish and your improvement of the ingredients gave it a lot of points,” Lord Shadow praised. “This Braised Heavenly Tribulation passed the test. However, little Fellow Daoist, there is still much room for improvement in your immortal cooking skills. I hope that you’re able to create a dish that merits 95 points from me in the future. I will tell you this now as I’m quite the picky eater.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Senior.” Song Shuhang smiled slightly.

This was the first time he had even tried immortal cooking, and he had already gotten recognized by a senior. Perhaps he actually had a lot of talent in this regard?

Lord Shadow asked, “Since the dish was up to standard, our transaction is complete. So, little friend, is there anything you want?” While Lord Shadow spoke to him, Song Shuhang felt a kind of ‘air’ blow toward his face.

[No need to be shy. Go ahead and tell me what you want. Even if you desire the stars in the sky, I can easily pluck them down for you! As long as it is what you want, I will satisfy your wish.] The virtuous lamia raised her head and spoke using a magnetic male voice, reciting the lines from a TV show.

Fairy Creation clapped her hands in response.

“…” Song Shuhang.

The atmosphere was suddenly destroyed.

Senior Shadow laughed. “Hahaha, if you want stars, then I can indeed give them to you.”

Song Shuhang waved his hands repeatedly in response, indicating his refusal.

What would I do with stars? It’s not like I can stuff them into my Inner World.

And one day, if my Inner World were to actually grow large enough to house stars, then I would be able to pluck them down myself.

Song Shuhang said, “Please wait, Senior. In fact, there is something that I want.”

After that, he turned to look at Senior Turtle and whispered, “Senior Turtle, do you know of the Eastern Spring Pavilion?”

Senior Turtle responded, “Heavens, you aren’t even going to spare the Great Eastern Emperor?”

Shuhang had already taken the Great Southern Emperor’s old home, and now he was going to go for the Great Eastern Emperor’s?

“So it really is the Great Eastern Emperor’s palace.” Song Shuhang nodded silently.

Mm-hm, that’s it!

Song Shuhang said, “Senior, can I ask for some fragments of the Ancient Heavenly City’s Eastern Spring Pavilion?”

“!!!” Fairy Almighty Seller glared at Song Shuhang. “I’ll blacklist you, Customer Song!”

“Fairy, don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to target the Eastern Spring Pavilion’s fragments that you have. I was thinking that since the pavilion was shattered, there should be a lot of fragments. What you want to collect and sell is only a few of them; I’ll settle for the others,” Song Shuhang explained.

Fairy Almighty Seller squeezed her chin and nodded. “That makes sense.”

“Fragments of the Eastern Spring Pavilion? Got it.” Senior Shadow nodded slightly.

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior, you have fragments on you?” “No, today’s actually the first time I’ve heard of such a thing. But it’s fine, because I’m rich,” said Senior Shadow.

“…” Song Shuhang.

After Senior Shadow finished speaking, he said to the Almighty Merchant, “Fellow Daoist, I want to buy a few fragments of the Eastern Spring Pavilion. At that time, I’ll settle the bill together with the request for the Braised Heavenly Tribulation, what do you think?” “Sure.” The Almighty Merchant displayed a sincere smile-he liked this kind of customer the most, the kind that never bargained. As long as the transaction was completed, no matter how many spirit stones it cost, the other party would generously settle the cost.

Fairy Almighty Seller said, “Master, don’t take the fragments I’m going for!”

The Almighty Merchant patted his disciple’s head lightly and smiled. “Today, Master will teach you another lesson. There is competition in business.”

“!!!” Fairy Almighty Seller exclaimed, “I want to dissolve our master-disciple relationship!”

Smiling, the Almighty Merchant said, “It’s merely a master-disciple relationship, how can that even come close to comparing to business?”

“…” Song Shuhang.

It seems that spirit stones can not only buy the smiles of a Tribulation Transcender and an Immortal, but also make them turn against each other.

Fairy Almighty Seller stomped angrily.

The Almighty Merchant lightly patted her head again. “I’m just kidding. Regarding the fragments of the Eastern Spring Pavilion, I still have many channels that I can use. You go ahead and complete your own transaction.” “Then, the deal is done,” said Senior Shadow with a smile. Afterward, his huge body began to retreat into the spatial gate.

Before going back, he suddenly threw a black cup at Song Shuhang. “With that cup, you can summon me once. In the future, when you’ve better learned the Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet dishes, you can summon me. As long as your dishes are up to standard, I will reward you. Is the next dish going to be (Smoked Inner Demon Tribulation Slices)?”

The black-skinned Soft Feather suddenly felt chills all over her body.

Song Shuhang accepted the small black cup and replied, “I haven’t really thought of that yet. In fact, I learned about the Heavenly Tribulation Menu not too long ago.”

“Hahaha! I’m looking forward to our next meeting.” Senior Shadow laughed heartily as he retreated to the Shadow Realm, disappearing without a trace.

After Senior Shadow left, Heavenly Field Island returned to its original state.

The banquet that belonged to the Nine Provinces Number One Group had officially started.

With Senior Shadow’s acknowledgment, Song Shuhang began to cook the remaining Third Stage tribulation lightning strips into Braised Lightning Tribulations.

The Almighty Merchant and Fairy Almighty Seller, who were forced by Song Shuhang to stay, also attended the banquet.

Those who eat one’s food become much more amenable to one’s requests. As long as they attend this banquet, while I might not get much of a discount the next time I want to buy something from the Almighty Merchant, it should at least be a lot easier to find him, right? Song Shuhang thought to himself.

The Braised Heavenly Tribulation, Lady Kuna’s immortal brew, and the immortal tea from that mysterious young senior. Each was an exceedingly rare treasure. After three rounds of drinking… the Almighty Merchant began to bring out the immortal dishes he had preserved in his private space. These immortal dishes were of all kinds of age, and there was a large variety of them. Since these dishes were stored by the Almighty Merchant, they were guaranteed to be no worse than any dish made by Immortal Fairy Bie Xue.

What was originally only a Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet had now become a feast no worse than the Immortal Feast.

The banquet lasted deep into the night! The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, who had already been drinking a lot, drank even more.

Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly tightly held a piece of Braised Heavenly Tribulation, savoring its taste as he ate it.

In addition to the three different experiences that came with each bite as Senior Shadow had stated, the Braised Heavenly Tribulation also came with an explosive taste when swallowed. This was the original taste of the heavenly tribulation!

After having lived for so many years, I’ve finally come to know what the heavenly tribulation tastes like.

As he thought of this, Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly toasted with Venerable Yellow Mountain.

This wine is also wonderful. It must be a treasure of the Ninth Stage rank or higher.

It’s truly quite unexpected that little friend Shuhang was able to gather so many great things. It looks like he’s also a guy with special luck.

Compared with Fellow Daoist White’s luck, Song Shuhang’s luck should be a display of ‘fate’.

“Eh? Have I drunk too much?” Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly suddenly murmured to himself.

He felt like he was seeing things.

When he had glanced over just now, he saw that there were three Soft Feathers.

The black-skinned Soft Feather sat beside him obediently, and he saw two other Soft Feathers walking through the crowd at the banquet, rolling around and laughing.

“Mm-hm, it seems that I really have drunk too much.” Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly smiled. He was a handsome middle-aged man, so after smiling, his charm only grew higher, and he could only be said to be absolutely stunning.

Some of the young girls on Heavenly Field Island were stunned silly as they saw his smile.

“Senior Song, Senior Song!” At this moment, the Soft Feather wrapped in a sheet rolled in front of Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang asked curiously, “What is it, Soft Feather?”

Soft Feather giggled, rolled over to Sixteen next to Shuhang, and then lay her head on Sixteen’s lap before saying, “I still want to watch a meteor shower.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

I really don’t know what to tell you besides that I’m not omnipotent, Soft Feather.

While he was in thought, Song Shuhang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“That’s right.” He looked at the Almighty Merchant next to him and said, “Senior, can I buy a meteor shower and use the Braised Heavenly Tribulation to pay for it?”

The Almighty Merchant said boldly, “Hahaha! You don’t need to pay me anything. I’m in a great mood today, so I’ll give you one for free!”

When Fairy Almighty Seller heard this, she knew that her master had absolutely drunk too much.

It was only when he was drunk that her master would not mind giving away small things for free.

“How do you want the meteor shower to look?” While saying this, the Almighty Merchant stood up and directed his hands at the sky.

At this moment… In the sky, a meteor shower appeared, shining as it descended. It was beautiful.
