Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 166: On the God-Praying Festival, you gave your boss the Emperor's uncle?!

After making up his mind, Lu Zhan withdrew his consciousness from his sea of ​​​​consciousness and took out another ginseng fruit.

Ever since he obtained the ginseng fruit, he always wanted to try it, but he was afraid that he would waste the immortal fruit when he left the mortal realm.

At this time, he has just entered the initial stage of the Mysterious Realm, and the realm is not yet stable enough. Ginseng fruit is the best choice to stabilize the realm.

"Click—"

The ginseng fruit has a crisp taste and is not as delicious as you might imagine. It is like a sweet melon, but it contains a tremendous amount of spiritual energy.

The vast spiritual energy like magma filled his limbs and bones. Lu Zhan felt that his consciousness was burning. This burning spiritual energy not only rapidly replenished his Dantian Qi Sea, but also nourished every inch of his flesh and blood.

Not only was the Qi Sea churning, but the flesh and blood were also constantly growing stronger, and dense, stabbing pains came, as if hundreds of silver needles pierced the body, but it was quickly enveloped by the spiritual energy again.

No wonder the Yunshui Sect regards the ginseng mother tree as the sect's treasure. If you eat one when breaking through a major realm, you will have smooth sailing.

I don’t know how Senior Zhen Yuan stole it. No wonder he is regarded as the public enemy of the immortal world.

Stealing the mother tree of ginseng fruit is more excessive than digging up someone's ancestral grave.

Lu Zhan was surrounded by rays of light, as if he was enveloped by countless auspicious auras, all of which were caused by the spiritual essence produced by the ginseng fruit. It was like an endless river, lake or sea, with surging waves that never stopped.

"what?"

The Skylark Queen, who was sleeping on a tree, noticed Lu Zhan's strange behavior. She woke up from her deep sleep and landed on the ground with flapping wings.

The moment she landed on the ground, she turned into a little girl. She looked at the spiritual energy dissipating around her, thought for a moment, then sat cross-legged behind Lu Zhan. She pouted her little mouth and took a deep breath: "Hiss..."

Unfortunately, her strength is limited, and the spiritual energy she can absorb is also limited.

Instead, all of these spiritual energies were refined by Lu Zhan, and a phantom of a ginseng fruit seemed to appear in his sea of ​​consciousness. That phantom was the real essence of the ginseng fruit.

Lu Zhan introduced it into his dantian, and the burning sensation immediately dissipated in his dantian.

A heart-wrenching feeling came from his lower abdomen. Lu Zhan frowned and circulated the Great Circulation, slowly refining the burning essence.

...

The roosters crow at the dawn and the sun rises in the east.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on his body, Lu Zhan finally came out of this mysterious state.

I only felt that the true Qi was as thick as the endless river and sea, rushing out from the sea of ​​Qi and nourishing the meridians throughout the body.

He had just broken into the Mysterious Realm last night, and his True Qi was exposed and unstable, but now his True Qi was quite restrained, and even his body became strong.

If the Qi Sea last night was like a pond, then the Qi Sea now is like a long river.

Not only is more true Qi stored, but the speed of recovering true Qi is also faster. Even if the Yuanshen Dharma Image is summoned out of the body, the loss of true Qi will be quickly replenished.

Why is there a gap between people of the same level? It is because the size of each person's Qi Sea is different.

For example, Chu Wantang is extremely talented. Her Qi Sea is far beyond the reach of other cultivators. Not only is her Qi dense, but her recovery speed is also faster. Therefore, she is hard to match among her peers. She killed dozens of masters of the Utuo tribe with one sword.

The sword swallows up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the ambition is to reach the sky and grasp the moon.

She was a girl of extraordinary talent and vision. If she had not been involved in a romantic scandal with him that affected her reputation, she would have been the most pure and innocent young cultivator in the Great Zhou.

This is also the reason why the Qin family values ​​her, not only because she is Madam Qin's only flesh and blood, but also because her talent is so good that she is worthy of the big family's efforts.

"call…"

Lu Zhan exhaled, collected his scattered thoughts, stood up, and felt the breeze in the courtyard, the scattered sunlight, and the growth of all things. It seemed that all the changes were within his mind.

This feeling is quite amazing.

"Hululu..."

A light snoring sound came from behind him, breaking Lu Zhan's perception.

Only then did he realize that the fair-skinned girl was sitting not far behind him, snoring evenly.

The little guy fell asleep while repairing the computer.

Lu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He bent down and carried her to the bed, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. The God Summoning Festival was coming and there were some things that needed to be prepared.

...

July fifteenth.

Before daybreak, Jinling City became bustling with the sound of gongs and drums coming from the streets, celebrating the arrival of the God-Inviting Festival.

For ordinary people, the God-Inviting Festival is a very grand festival, comparable to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lu Zhan was busy in the kitchen early in the morning. After being transferred to Jinling, he indeed had a lot more free time. When people have free time, they tend to develop some hobbies.

Even cooking in the kitchen at this moment, I feel relaxed and comfortable.

Even the scorching summer breeze seemed to become gentle. Although this was all thanks to his use of true Qi to protect his body and adjust the temperature of his entire body to the most comfortable state, he still felt comfortable in his heart.

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

The sun is shining and the breeze makes the leaves rustle.

The little goblin leaned against the door frame, holding a bowl and looking eagerly: "I'm hungry too."

"Go eat this." Lu Zhan threw out a tomato.

The Skylark King licked his lips and said, "I want grass."

"You've been eating too much recently. If you take in more spiritual energy, you won't be able to refine spiritual herbs." Lu Zhan refused mercilessly: "That tomato is very good. It's produced by the tomato spirit and tastes quite good."

The Skylark King frowned at the tomato in his hand, put it in the bowl, shook the bowl with both hands, and his little face was full of pleading: "Please, give me the grass."

Lu Zhan held up the pot and spoon and said with a straight face, "I won't give you any grass."

After saying this, he realized something was wrong and said coldly, "You can't get any grass today. I'll feed you powder later."

The Skylark Queen curled her lips and had to give up. She shook the bowl, which was bigger than her face, in her two hands and sat silently on the small stool, waiting for the snail noodles to come out of the pot.

A quarter of an hour later.

When the complex smell came again, the little goblin didn't think it was stinky, but became very interested.

The little goblin immediately stood up holding the exaggerated lotus leaf bowl, and came over skipping and jumping, saying crisply: "I only eat one bowl!"

Lu Zhan took a quick glance at it. This bowl was bought when he took her shopping two days ago. It looked like a lotus leaf and was very beautiful.

But the capacity of this bowl is about equal to three normal bowls, which means that the little fairy only eats one bowl, but it is actually three bowls.

"You eat so much, be careful that you won't be able to fly."

Lu Zhan threatened her, but he still gave her a full bowl. Chili peppers were a rarity in that era, and the little goblin didn't like spicy food, so it saved a lot.

The spices were not as easy to find as those in the real world, and the taste was a little off, so Lu Zhan added tomatoes and mushrooms to season it.

Of course, these are not ordinary mushrooms, but mushrooms produced by the black market mushroom spirit, paired with tomatoes produced by the tomato spirit and eggs from 250-year-old Fiery Sun Chickens. This pot of noodles is really full of freshness and fragrance.

"Suck..."

The Skylark King buried his head in the noodles, feeling a little regretful: "It's a pity that there is no meat in it, it doesn't taste good... Next time I will catch a few caterpillars for you to put in it, what do you think?"

Lu Zhan's face darkened: "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't eat caterpillars."

“Why not eat caterpillars?”

"So do you eat cats?"

"The Skylark King is afraid of cats."

"We disgust caterpillars."

Even the black market does not have caterpillar essence, which shows that this thing is as anti-human as mosquitoes.

Lu Zhan argued with Xiao Que'er for a few words, packed the remaining powder, and headed towards the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Xiao Que'er looked at Lu Zhan's back and fell into deep thought.

Caterpillars are so delicious, why don’t we eat them?

She didn't quite understand.

...

The long street is bustling with activity, and the scorching sun cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people. The streets that were rarely populated in the past due to the heat are now crowded with people.

As Lu Zhan walked along the way, he saw many people performing tricks, with stalls set up from the street to the end of the alley.

They don’t sell rare items, but common things, such as palm-leaf fans, polished bowls and plates, freshly picked wild fruits, vegetables grown at home, game meat stalls, etc. The items are ordinary but lively enough, full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

The Demon Suppression Bureau was also very lively, with everyone coming early to give gifts to their superiors. In fact, this kind of atmosphere was not good, but it was difficult to change.

"Guanqi, you're not going to send food to Director Chu, are you?"

Xie Chunyan was sitting in the yard and was a little surprised to see Lu Zhan coming over with a lunch box.

Fortunately, the lunch box was sealed well, so he didn't smell any bad odor, but he wasn't surprised by the smell.

"Any questions?" Lu Zhan asked with a smile.

Xie Chunyan whispered, "Of course there is a problem. You should learn from me and prepare something that is rare, precious, and economical."

Lu Zhan was shocked. He didn't expect Chun Ge to have the same idea as him. He asked, "What did you give?"

“Hehehe…” Xie Chunyan looked around and made sure that no one was around before saying, “I gave away some incomplete and rare copies.”

"Director Chu doesn't like rare Confucian books."

"I'm not stupid, of course I know."

"Oh, what is that?"

"The Record of the Romantic Maids!"

The corner of Lu Zhan's mouth twitched, and he just wanted to curse in his heart, damn, Xie Chunyan is really a talent... The Record of Romantic Maids is a "banned book" in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a romantic book that describes in detail the kindness of the ancients and the rewards and punishments for good and evil.

It's normal for this kind of thing to circulate among colleagues, but who the hell would give the emperor's uncle to their boss?

Lu Zhan asked, "What did Director Chu say?"

Xie Chunyan said: "He was very happy and asked me to clean up the Demon Suppression Division, saying that it would strengthen my body so that he could entrust me with important tasks in the future."

Lu Zhan: “…”

Chun Ge is not stupid, and he is very cautious when doing things outside, but his emotional intelligence is too low.

Lu Zhan sighed and said, "Forget it, please invite the director to Luoyan Pavilion."

"Are you sure you want to send him food?" Xie Chunyan looked at him suspiciously.

Lu Zhan said: "It's right to listen to me."

Luoyan Pavilion is a garden pavilion of the Demon Suppression Bureau, surrounded by water and the fragrance of flowers. The director was invited here not for the beautiful scenery, but purely to enjoy the scent.

The smell of snail noodles is not only overbearing, but also difficult to dissipate. If you eat it indoors, it will probably take a day or two for the smell to dissipate.

Xie Chunyan was confused, but he went there obediently. Soon he brought Director Chu to Luoyan Pavilion.

Director Chu received a lot of gifts today, his face was red: "Watching chess, what else do you have to watch here?"

"Director, please wait a moment." Lu Zhan opened the lunch box.

Director Chu and Xie Chunyan's expressions changed.

The chewy rice noodles are paired with green seasonal vegetables, surrounded by fried bean curd sheets, peanuts, shredded wood ear mushrooms and sour beans, and topped with lots of sour bamboo shoots and a fried egg, with red oil floating on it, which looks very appetizing.

But the smell alone is irresistible.

Director Chu was fine, after all, he was a bamboo shoot lover, he just frowned but didn't resist too much.

The one who resisted was Xie Chunyan. When he smelled the smell, his face turned pale, just like someone who was not used to the smell of durian would feel uncomfortable when suddenly smelling the smell of roasted durian.

"yue..."

Xie Chunyan frowned and covered his mouth, trying to suppress the discomfort. He was naturally extremely disgusted by bad smells, which was why he worked hard to practice.

Because he really didn't want to go to the toilet.

Chu Huaizheng glared at Xie Chunyan, frowned and said, "Xiao Xie, you try it for me first."

“???” Xie Chunyan was stunned, his face turned green, and he didn’t even bother to cover his mouth to hold back his vomiting, and hurriedly said: “I…I can’t eat spicy food!”

Chu Huaizheng didn't say anything, but just glanced at him quietly.

"Why don't we let someone come and watch the game?" Xie Chunyan forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

Lu Zhan shook his head: "I'm just trying my own food, there's no point in judging it."

Xie Chunyan: “…”

Under Chu Huaizheng's indifferent gaze, Xie Chunyan could only grit his teeth and go to the table.

Lu Zhan had already prepared two pairs of chopsticks. Even if Director Chu liked bamboo shoots, he would not lose his mind when he saw them. Tasting the food was a must.

"call…"

Xie Chunyan took a deep breath and wanted to slap himself twice. He should have just left instead of staying here to watch the fun out of curiosity about what Guanqi wanted to give.

Now the excitement has come to him... Director Chu actually asked him to taste the food? Xie Chunyan always felt that he was taking revenge, but he clearly had never offended Director Chu.

Xie Chunyan couldn't figure it out, so he picked up a small piece of powder and put it into his mouth with a heroic expression, then chewed it up and forced himself to swallow it.

"Ok?"

Xie Chunyan's expression suddenly froze.

It didn't smell like shit as I imagined. Instead, there was a special fragrance that spread in my mouth, a little sour, a little spicy, and with the unique taste of tomato.

Xie Chunyan's expression relaxed and he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and reach into the bowl again.

This time, before he could touch the fans, he was stopped from a distance.

The one who stopped him was Director Chu.

Director Chu wiped his hands and said, "Okay, it's none of your business."

Xie Chunyan: “?”

I just tasted it, and you're telling me it's none of my business? You won't even let me eat one more bite?

Xie Chunyan felt like he was being abandoned and could only stand aside in anger. Now when he looked at the bowl of noodles again, he no longer thought it was stinky, but only thought it was delicious and he wanted to eat it.

"I've heard about Guanqi's cooking skills. He can make delicious specialties with ordinary foods. I'm in for a treat today. This bowl of noodles looks good to me." Chu Huaizheng praised him with a bright smile.

To be honest, when Chu Huaizheng first saw this bowl of noodles, he was a little hesitant, as the taste was indeed a little different.

Seeing Xie Chunyan's painful expression, as if he couldn't stand the taste, he deliberately let Xie Chunyan try the dish. As a result, after one bite, Xie Chunyan, who had just been very disgusted, actually wanted to take a second bite.

Chu Huaizheng immediately understood that the bad smell was just the protective color of this bowl of noodles, and it must taste good.

Otherwise, Xie Chunyan wouldn't have suddenly changed like this. Could it be that Xie Chunyan likes to eat shit?

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out...No normal person would give a banned book to their boss.
