Chapter 158 Spiritual Food Feast

"In that case, we are all family now. Old Ye, you will serve as the city lord of Tianfeng Immortal City for a period of time, and you can appoint a disciple from Tianfeng Sect to be the deputy city lord. I will also send a deputy city lord to help you get used to the various affairs of the immortal city."

Ye Qingyang’s choice was not unexpected to Fang Chen.

He has become a ghost cultivator and no longer has any attachment to the secular world. The only thing he cannot let go of is the Tianfeng Sect.

After all, these disciples were badly betrayed by him.

If he had not been so persistent in exchanging the sect's resources for various elixirs that could help repair the damage to the Niwan Palace, the Tianfeng Sect would not be in its current miserable state.

Therefore, he would naturally be more than happy to bring a bright future to Tianfengmen.

"Should I be the city lord? I'm afraid it's not appropriate. There is a difference between humans and ghosts. It's better for me not to show up often."

Ye Qingyang had no objection to Fang Chen’s other arrangements, but he just didn’t want to be the mayor of Tianfengxian City.

The reason is just as he said, there is a difference between humans and ghosts.

"At present, only you can take on the role. Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect have stipulated that only sects led by foundation-building cultivators can occupy a country. If the Immortal Dynasty wants to completely control Feng Country, your presence is indispensable."

Fang Chen shook his head and reluctantly rejected Ye Qingyang's request.

Then he continued, "But you can also quickly train a foundation-building cultivator and have him take over as the city lord. If you don't mind, you can come to the ghost realm to practice."

Since Ye Qingyang has decided to resign from Tianfeng Sect, now it should be said that Tianfeng Fairy City should develop itself. Then, the most suitable place for him to stay after resigning is naturally the Ghost Realm.

Fang Chen had long thought of making him one of the five ghost emperors.

Under the command of Emperor Fengdu, the five Ghost Emperors are invincible, so Ye Qingyang naturally has the potential to become a Ghost Emperor.

"Ghostland?"

This word was very unfamiliar to Ye Qingyang, and he asked out of curiosity.

"It is rumored that the Emperor's son had signed a contract with the Emperor of Fengdu and obtained the seed of a netherworld, in which he could enfeoff the Ghost Emperor and make this netherworld grow. This netherworld is now called the Ghost Realm."

Zheng Pingkang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke and answered the question before Fang Chen.

The answer left Fang Chen, the Lord of the Ghost Realm, confused.

When was this set?

Why didn't he know?
"Master, I discussed this with the Ghost King. We should bring out the name first so that we can scare more people."

The crisp voice of the tree spirit sounded in his mind, allowing Fang Chen to understand everything.

With the involvement of tree spirits, it’s no wonder that Zheng Pingkang could come up with such an outrageous setting.

"Is that so? Then I would be honored."

Ye Qingyang also opened his mouth wide, and then agreed without hesitation.

Such a grand place really needs to be seen with your own eyes.

Although his spiritual roots were endowed with the characteristics of the Yin Ling space by Fang Chen, allowing him to have no shortage of Yin Ling power for cultivation, the Netherworld was a place that would be of great help to the practice of ghost cultivators.

Moreover, Fang Chen can also confer the title of Ghost Emperor.

Ye Qingyang also heard the hint here.

If he is willing to go, there is a high probability that he can reserve a position as the Ghost Emperor.

Only a fool would disagree.

"Well, then there is no problem. You just need to hand over the transition between Tianfeng Sect and Tianfeng Immortal City within the next month. Old Xu, you will be the one to designate the deputy city lord of Tianfeng Immortal City."

At this point, the distribution between Tianfeng Sect and Feng Kingdom had been discussed completely, and Fang Chen also gave Xu Qiyun another task.

There is no other way. Most of the people with management skills in Yuehua Fairy City were trained by him.

This kind of thing can only be solved by him.

"Don't bother with that. Although Han Zhao, Wang Shijie, Deng Mingtong, and Li Ran failed to become the mayor of Yueshenfang City, with their abilities, it will be no problem for them to serve as the deputy city lord of a new fairy city."

After Xu Qiyun accepted the task, he immediately recommended a candidate.

"The four of them are capable enough, but their cultivation is insufficient, so we can't send them over right from the start."

Fang Chen directly rejected Xu Qiyun's proposal.

Tianfeng Fairy City is different from Yueshen Market. It was once a foundation-building sect with more than a thousand Qi-training disciples.

It sounds like it is no different from Yuehua Fairy City, and is even worse than Yueshen Market.

But these Qi training monks are not just at the first level. There are a lot of them in the middle, late and even great perfection stages of Qi training.

The highest cultivation level among Han Zhao and his three companions was only the second level of Qi training, so in a place like Yueshenfang City that was transformed from a mortal settlement, it was not a big problem.

If they went to Tianfeng Fairy City, no one would listen to them.

"I didn't think it through, but in this case, the only person who can serve as the deputy city lord is probably..."

Xu Qiyun's gaze turned to Lin Qingshan. This fellow had once reached the great perfection of Qi training. Although he has now only recovered to the fourth level of Qi training, he is extremely skilled in formation formations and can easily suppress cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

What's more, his formation skills alone are enough to convince everyone.

Although the world of cultivation respects strength, it also respects cultivators with special skills.

However, this is certainly not realistic.

Both Yuehua Fairy City and Yueshen Market are in a state of disrepair and need to be rebuilt, and neither of them can do without him.

It is impossible to let Lin Qingshan go.

Fang Chen is even more impossible.

He looked away in disappointment, and Zheng Pingkang appeared in his sight.

"Yes, City Lord, you can let Lao Zheng go first."

Xu Qiyun slapped his thigh and recommended Zheng Pingkang.

Fang Chen also smiled knowingly.

"I?"

Zheng Pingkang scratched his head, thinking that Xu Qiyun had made a mistake.

"Old Xu is right. You are the most suitable."

After taking a sip of tea, Fang Chen also assisted.

In fact, his original intention was to let Zheng Pingkang serve as the deputy city lord of Tianfeng Fairy City.

The benefits are also obvious.

Firstly, Zheng Pingkang’s strength is guaranteed, and he can definitely convince the cultivators of Tianfeng Immortal City.

Secondly, Ye Qingyang and Zheng Pingkang are in a similar state and can get together to exchange experiences.

More importantly, Zheng Pingkang often hangs out in Yuehua Fairy City on weekdays and often attends Xu Qiyun's classes, so he has a good understanding of how Yuehua Fairy City operates.

Letting him go to Tianfeng Fairy City is the perfect choice.

Xu Qiyun also noticed these benefits and talked about them to several people incessantly.

Zheng Pingkang was also quickly convinced by him.

"Well, I will temporarily serve as the deputy city lord of Tianfeng Xiancheng."

After agreeing, he also added a condition: "But like Old Ye said, there are differences between humans and ghosts, and I can't stay in Tianfeng Fairy City for a long time. Let the four stewards of Yueshen Market compete with each other. Whoever cultivates to the late stage of Qi training first will take over my position as deputy city lord."

"The late stage of Qi training? Those people are probably at the first or second level of Qi training. It will probably take more than ten years to reach the late stage of Qi training."

Ye Qingyang looked surprised, as he had just met Han Zhao and the other three.

With his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could tell their cultivation levels with just a glance.

As for the time he mentioned, it was indeed the time he spent practicing from the first level of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training.

As the owner of a wind-attributed spiritual root, he has never relied on external forces. The magic power he gains from cultivation is more refined and easier to control.

A normal cultivator would be lucky to be able to reach half his speed.

For a five-element spiritual root like Fang Chen, if he didn't use elixirs, it would be good to reach the middle stage of Qi training in more than ten years. This also shows the importance of spiritual root talent and the great help of elixirs to cultivators' practice.

"They won't just rely on hard training. Yuehua Immortal City will continue to provide them with elixirs. It will probably take about two to three years."

Zheng Pingkang knew Yuehua Fairy City very well, and he had also calculated the maturity time of various spiritual plants in the fairy city.

With a steady supply of medicinal pills, there will be no bottleneck in the Qi training period.

"I see. It's good to have unlimited spiritual energy."

Ye Qingyang said with some envy.

In order to provide so many elixirs needed by Qi-cultivating monks, there must be large tracts of spiritual fields for growing spiritual plants.

The development of spiritual fields and the growth of spiritual plants both require sufficient spiritual energy. Even for the Tianfeng Sect, which possesses a second-level mid-quality spiritual vein, the number of spiritual fields is not large.

It is also because of the lack of spiritual energy supply.

There was nothing serious to do next, so the five of them exchanged their experiences in cultivation in the reception room.

It was called a communication, but it was mainly Ye Qingyang who was talking and the other four people who were listening.

Only Lin Qingshan could keep up with his thinking and ask incisive questions from time to time.

Who made him just one step away from building a foundation?

Of course, Ye Qingyang did not gain nothing.

Zheng Pingkang also shared some of his experiences in ghost cultivation, and he listened with great interest.

"City Lord, lunch is ready, please take your seats."

The few of them were chatting enthusiastically and completely forgot about the time. It was not until Han Zhao's voice reminded them that they realized it was already noon.

it's time for lunch.

"Lunch? The foundation-building cultivators are already fasting, not to mention that I have the body of a ghost cultivator now, so I don't need to eat at all. You guys go ahead."

After hearing Han Zhao's words, Ye Qingyang's first reaction was not to go.

"Old Ye, this is not an ordinary lunch, but spiritual food prepared by the five best spiritual chefs in Yuehua Immortal City. Moreover, the possession technique of the Ghost King Sutra can taste the flavor, so you can rest assured about this."

Zheng Pingkang, who also had the body of a ghost cultivator, laughed and invited Ye Qingyang to go with him.

"Oh? Then I have to try it."

Hearing what Zheng Pingkang said, Ye Qingyang became interested and changed his mind instantly.

"Then let's go together."

Fang Chen stood up, and the group followed Han Zhao at the door and walked to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria in Luna Market also has several private rooms.

“It’s a nice show.”

After entering the private room, Fang Chen looked around at the decorations and casually praised it.

"Boss, this Xianju was renovated with building materials from the He Family Manor. Some things would have been wasted, so we made use of them. We definitely didn't take advantage of the privileges and not eat with the residents. On weekdays, these private rooms are empty and can only be rented with contributions."

Zhao Qian in the private room stood up instantly and explained to Fang Chen.

"Why leave it empty? Isn't it a waste? It should be open to all residents, so anyone can come in. Only when you book a private room like us do you need to pay a contribution fee, and this fee will be used to improve the food in the cafeteria."

Fang Chen glanced at Zhao Qian. Of course he knew what the other party meant. He didn't care whether it was true or not. As long as there was no rule before, he would immediately set up new rules.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Zhao Qian tensed his body and spoke loudly.

"Okay, okay, we have guests to entertain today, so don't stand anymore, sit down."

Fang Chen then led the four people behind him to sit down.

This private room is not small, but there are quite a few people present.

In addition to Fang Chen and his four companions, there were also the mayor Zhao Qian and four deacons, as well as the He family's father and son and the housekeeper.

These three people also contributed a lot to the construction of Yueshen Market. After discussion between Zhao Qian and Xu Qiyun, they requested Fang Chen to promote them to market deacons.

Fang Chen also agreed.

After these two months of transformation, the residents of Yueshenfang City still respect the three members of the He family, but they are more concerned about Yueshenfang City.

Nor is there any fear that they might stir up any waves.

As soon as the thirteen people sat down, the food started to be served.

The first person to come in was Liu Sandao.

Holding a large plate, he walked steadily to Fang Chen and placed it in front of him.

There was a large bowl on top of the plate, hiding the appearance and smell of the spiritual food inside, which made people very curious.

"Is this the colorful eight-treasure chicken?"

Fang Chen also asked Liu Sandao directly.

"I really can't hide it from the city lord, that's right."

Liu Sandao did not hide anything and admitted it directly.

"One for each person?"

Fang Chen also continued to ask.

Liu Sandao nodded.

Fang Chen did not ask any more questions and let Liu Sandao leave.

The five spirit chefs quickly placed the same plates in front of everyone as the one in front of Fang Chen.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal."

Leaving these words behind, Liu Sandao left the private room with four spiritual chefs.

"Then there's no need to wait any longer. Come and try Lao Liu and his cooking skills."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Fang Chen did not give a long speech and directly announced that the meal was ready.

Then reach out and grab the bottom of the bowl and pull it upwards.

You can also clearly feel the resistance from air pressure.

Fortunately, the plate was heavy enough and was not lifted up, but the bowl was pulled up instantly.

"Wow—"

The rich hot air carrying the fragrance instantly spread throughout the private room.

"Suck--"

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath; the fragrance was so tempting.

The others followed suit and lifted the bowls off the plates.

All of a sudden, hot water vapor began to gather above the private room, and under the sunlight outside the window, it actually formed a rainbow.

"Great, great, it can actually bring about strange phenomena in heaven and earth. This is a top-grade spiritual food."

Ye Qingyang was knowledgeable and said the name of this phenomenon.

"A strange phenomenon in heaven and earth? Top-grade spiritual food?"

These two words were unfamiliar to everyone else present, so everyone looked at him for an answer.

"The so-called heaven and earth phenomena are when the spiritual energy in the spiritual food resonates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, producing all kinds of magnificent scenes, just like this rainbow. Only the best spiritual food can produce it. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see it in this lifetime."

Ye Qingyang was also filled with emotion, and then he explained the concept of top-grade spiritual food: "Spiritual food is the same as elixir, it is also divided into first-grade and second-grade, and each grade is further divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. However, if the spiritual chef can draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he can make top-grade spiritual food, which is of great benefit to cultivation."
