Yuelaiju Restaurant, first floor lobby.

Li Zhanqi sat in the lobby of the restaurant, sighing from time to time, and looked at the entrance of the lobby from the corner of his eyes, as if he was waiting anxiously.

Yan Nantian went to Huanghe Tower and tasted the recipe of the Tianshan Baihe, the signature dish of Huanghe Tower. This incident has a great impact on Huanghe Tower. If it is not handled in time, it will cause huge losses to Huanghe Tower.

At the same time, Li Zhanqi was also a little afraid of Yan Nantian, fearing that he would not be able to meet Yan Nantian's requirements, so he would go to Huanghe Tower to taste other dishes. If all the exclusive dishes of Yuelaiju were tasted one by one by Yan Nantian, then Huanghe Tower's business would plummet.

Just imagine, the dishes in other people's restaurants do not exist in their own restaurants; the dishes in other people's restaurants do exist in other people's restaurants, and Huanghelou naturally cannot attract customers and will only become a vassal of the other three restaurants.

Moreover, Zhong Letong, the spiritual chef who cooked the white cranes of Tianshan Mountain, was very dissatisfied with this matter and even openly threatened Li Zhanqi. If the matter was not properly handled, he would report to the senior management of Huanghelou.

Therefore, Li Zhanqi submitted a message and was about to discuss with Yan Nantian in person, hoping that the other party would not announce all the ingredients of Tianshan Baihe, nor would he put this dish on the menu of Yuelaiju.

Of course, if Yan Nantian wants to agree to this request, it is necessary to pay a certain price. Only by giving Yan Nantian a certain amount of compensation and filling Yan Nantian's appetite can the other party agree to this matter.

"Dadada..."

At this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps sounded. Li Zhanqi looked up and found that a 15 or 16-year-old boy walked into the lobby. It was Yan Nantian, the chef who helped Yuelaiju.

"Brother Yan, you are here." After seeing Yan Nantian, Li Zhanqi hurriedly stood up and said.

"Shopkeeper Li, you need not be polite." Yan Nantian said lightly.

"Brother Yan, this time I came to Yuelaiju to talk to you about the spiritual dish of Tianshan Baihe. Do you think you can find a quiet place?" Li Zhanqi said.

"Okay, come with me to the private room on the second floor." Yan Nantian made a gesture of inviting him. He was also curious about what price Li Zhanqi could offer and give himself a hush fee.

Under Yan Nantian's leadership, the two of them arrived at the private room on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, the big-eyed servant followed in, holding a tray in his hand. There was a teapot and two tea cups inside.

After seeing this scene, Yan Nantian couldn't help but smile. I guess Scar and Lan Ying saw this scene yesterday, but it's a pity that they are not lucky to be tasting tea now.

The big-eyed servant put the teapot and tea cup on the table where the two of them were sitting. Yan Nantian and the other party winked. The big-eyed servant bowed and retreated. Yan Nantian personally took the teapot and poured tea for Li Zhanqi beside him.

"Thank you, Brother Yan." Li Zhanqi took the teacup and said with gratitude.

"You don't have to be polite to Manager Li. The visitor is a guest. It's time to pour you a glass of water." Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"Good tea." Li Zhanqi took a symbolic sip of tea, praised it hypocritically, and then changed the subject and said:

"Brother Yan, I believe you should have known the purpose of my visit to Yuelaiju this time?"

"Shopkeeper Li, what can I guess, a 15 or 16-year-old boy? You'd better say it clearly." Yan Nantian shrugged and said.

Seeing that Yan Nantian refused to mention it on his own, Li Zhanqi could only say it himself, and took out a post from his arms and said: "Brother Yan, the last time he stole a first-class puffer fish was the wrong thing in our Huanghelou Restaurant. I came here to apologize to you and brought you some gifts. This is the gift list I gave you, I hope you can be satisfied."

Yan Nantian took the post casually and browsed the content above. There were seven or eight kinds of gifts written on it, but most of them were vulgar things and had no great value. The last one was the one that was really in the box - five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

"Shopkeeper Li, your gift is not light. It should be not for a simple apology." Yan Nantian turned his head and stared at Li Zhanqi beside him and tried to tentatively.

"Yes, Brother Yan is indeed extremely smart. I will give you these gifts, one is to apologize to you, and the other is to hope that you have a lot of them and don't leak the recipes of Tianshan Baihe."

"Okay, I can promise you this." Yan Nantian nodded and said.

After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Li Zhanqi breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes turned, and said, "Brother Yan, I haven't finished what I said just now. In addition to you not being able to reveal the recipe of Tianshan Baihe, I hope you don't cook this Tianshan Baihe in Yuelaiju, can you not comment?"

"You want me to swear that you will not disclose the recipes of Tianshan Baihe and no longer sell this dish in any restaurant, right?" Yan Nantian said.

"If this is possible, it would be great."

A glimmer flashed in Li Zhanqi's eyes. As long as Yan Nantian did not sell this Tianshan White Crane, the business of Huang Crane Tower would not be affected too much, and it would be almost the same as the previous exclusive dishes.

"I can do this, but..." Yan Nantian responded, and then showed a hint of hesitation, and said.

"It's just something, Brother Yan, please say, if I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you." Li Zhanqi said with a wry smile.

"It's just that there are not enough spirit stones, I want a thousand spirit stones." Yan Nantian smiled at the corner of his mouth. It's one thing not to reveal the white crane of Tianshan Mountain, and it's another thing not to cook this dish in any restaurant. The price to be paid between the two is also different.

"This..." Li Zhanqi showed a look of hesitation when he heard Yan Nantian's words. A thousand spirit stones were not a small number, which made Li Zhanqi unable to make up his mind for a moment.

"Shopkeeper Li, as long as I don't tell you, no one can know the complete recipe of Tianshan Baihe. Tianshan Baihe is also the exclusive dish of Huanghe Tower. The benefits it brings to Huanghe Tower over the years are far higher than one thousand spirit stones." Yan Nantian said.

"Brother Yan, can I trust you?" Li Zhanqi took a deep breath and stared at Yan Nan Tiandao.

"I will swear to my spiritual consciousness. If I violate the vow, I will let my cultivation stagnate, what?" Yan Nantian said.

"Okay, one word is certain." Li Zhanqi gritted his teeth, agreed, and said.

"Shopkeeper Li, I am a person who keeps my word and will not make you regret it." Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"Brother Yan, I have another request, I hope you can agree with it." Li Zhanqi pondered for a moment.

"What are the requirements?" Yan Nantian said in confusion.

"I hope you will never go to our Huanghe Tower again in the future, how about it?" Li Zhanqi said.

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Li Zhanqi's words, Yan Nantian burst into laughter and watched the events of that day. It really scared the story.

...

After seeing off Li Zhanqi, Yan Nantian was quite happy. After getting such a large amount of spirit stones, he would not lack cultivation resources in a short period of time. What Yan Nantian needs to do now is to use these spirit stones to enhance his cultivation as quickly as possible.

As he thought about it, Yan Nantian returned to Yuechen. As soon as he walked into the courtyard of Yuechen, he saw Zhou Xuebin standing at the door of the west wing, waved to him and said:

"Nan Tian, ​​come here."

"Yes, Senior Zhou." After hearing Zhou Xuebin's greeting, Yan Nantian hurriedly responded and followed Zhou Xuebin into the Yuechen room.

After entering the west wing, the two of them sat down separately. Zhou Xuebin did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Yan Nantian and said:

"I have heard Liu Qiang say about the second-level spiritual kitchen tomb. I feel quite pleased that you can trust me so much."

"Senior is too proud. If it weren't for your cultivation, there wouldn't be the current Yan Nantian." Yan Nantian said solemnly.

"Okay, there is no need to be so formal, I'm not polite to you." Zhou Xuebin waved his hand and said, "The most precious thing about a second-level spiritual chef's tomb is not the treasure inside, but the Ling chef's perception of the kitchen and the recipes he created during his lifetime are priceless for us."

"Senior Zhou, so you agree to find this tomb." Yan Nan Tiandao.

"We cultivators are seeking wealth and honor in danger. We practitioners are going against the will of heaven. We naturally cannot give up if we have such an opportunity." Zhou Xuebin said with a determined look on his face.

"Senior Zhou, I believe that with your guidance, the chances of finding a grave will be much higher." Yan Nantian said with a smile.

"Okay, don't flatter me, kid. I'm still getting the light of you and Liu Qiang, so this matter is still dominated by you and Liu Qiang. I'm just checking for omissions." Zhou Xuebin smiled, shook his head and said:

"Tell me about your plan first."

"Senior, I plan to ask Mr. Liu to take the map obtained from the Tianliu Mercenary Group to enter the Eternal Forest to find specific locations. Mr. Liu himself is very strong, has a smaller goal, and is less likely to be targeted by the people of the Tianliu Mercenary Group." Yan Nantian said.

"Well, it is indeed safe to do this. When we find the exact location of the grave, we will save many people and have a big goal. We will expose the secrets of the grave in advance, and then attract more people to peep." Zhou Xuebin agreed.

Seeing that Zhou Xuebin agreed to his own solution, Yan Nantian changed his tone and mentioned another thing, saying:

"Senior Zhou, my strength is now weak, and it is too dangerous to enter the Eternal Forest. So if you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"

After hearing Yan Nantian's words, Zhou Xuebin observed Yan Nantian and exclaimed: "Hey, if you don't say it, I didn't realize that you have actually broken through to the middle level of the first level."

"I made my senior laugh, this level of cultivation is nothing." Yan Nantian scratched his head and said.

"It is already amazing that you can break through to the middle level of the first level in such a short time." Zhou Xuebin praised it, pondered for a moment and said:

"However, you have just broken through your cultivation level. It may not be that easy to increase your cultivation level quickly. It is better to learn a powerful martial arts and improve your actual combat effectiveness in a short period of time."

"Senior Zhou, I heard that it takes a lot of effort and time to practice powerful martial arts, and it cannot be accomplished overnight." Yan Nantian said in confusion.
