Carrying the identifier from the interstellar to the world of immortal cultivation

There was no menu here. Sui An had no idea what food was provided in the kitchen, let alone which ones were delicious and which ones were not. She looked at Fan Qiongzhi.

Fan Qiongzhi looked expectant. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Senior Shen, it's you who's treating us, right?"

Shen Chijian nodded, "I asked you to come here, so of course I have to treat you!"

In fact, Fan Qiongzhi was also a little surprised. Shen Chijian came from the direct branch of the Shen family in Wangzhou, so he was naturally not short of spirit stones. He was also generous and magnanimous. However, he probably didn't do such things as inviting people to dinner for no reason, especially inviting these young Qi-refining cultivators who were listening to his lectures to dinner. No matter how generous he was, he would not be so generous.

But since he was determined to treat them, the three of them had also done him a favor, so this favor naturally couldn't be done in vain.

Sui An had just entered the sect, so he definitely couldn't order any food. Senior Brother Song... Fan Qiongzhi looked at him, looking lost in thought and absent-minded, and probably couldn't be relied upon either.

She is the only one who can bring this up.

"I wonder if Senior Shen has ever tasted our Jinling Sect's after-dinner meals: the honey-fried spirit fish, roasted spirit lamb, drunken seafood, golden crispy cakes, Cuishanli, Qingyu soup... and Lingbo drink!"

Fan Qiongzhi named several dishes in a row. While she was naming, she paid close attention to Shen Chijian's expression. If he showed any reluctance or heartache on his face, she would stop immediately and find an excuse to name some cheaper dishes.

But Senior Shen was truly generous. He listened to her list of almost every signature spiritual food in the kitchen, even mentioning the Lingbo Drink, without changing his expression. After she finished, he even asked, "Is that all? Anything else? Let's go together. If there's any left, we can order it together. We can take it all!"

After being asked this question, Fan Qiongzhi even felt that she had ordered too little. However, she thought about it and realized that these were the only signature dishes of the sect's back-of-house meals that she knew. She couldn't name any more dishes if she ordered, so she had to give up!

After Shen Chijian and Song Chunchi went to the kitchen steward to order food, Sui An finally found the opportunity to ask, "Junior Sister Fan, Senior Shen is not a cultivator from the Jinling Sect. Was he specially invited by the sect to teach Qi Refining cultivators?"

"Sister, are you wondering, Senior Shen is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Although our Jinling Sect only has three Jindan cultivators, we have over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, which is more than enough to teach our Qi Refining disciples. Why do we need to hire people from outside? Senior Sister, you might not know this, but as a guest elder of the sect, Senior Shen's annual salary is 3,000 spirit stones. He even gave him a discount for Uncle Yu's sake."

"I attended Senior Shen's lecture today and found it very rewarding. Although I haven't heard other seniors lecture, the sect spent a lot of money to invite Senior Shen, so he must have some outstanding qualities. What I want to ask is, how many guest elders like Senior Shen are there in the sect? What is their title? When do they usually teach in the Asking Hall? What topics do they focus on? This way, I can prepare in advance."

"Senior Sister, I've noticed that even though you've only just started practicing,... how should I put it? You've adapted very quickly, and your mind is exceptionally clear. You think things through quickly and clearly. I think if I were in your situation, I'd be in a daze for at least six months before I could finally calm down."

Fan Qiongzhi couldn't help but praise.

"You forgot my name. Didn't you say that we should make the best of it?"

"It's easier said than done!" Fan Qiongzhi sighed first, and then answered Sui An's previous question.

"In addition to Senior Shen, there are three guest elders in the sect, two of whom are Jindan seniors and one is a foundation-building senior. One of the two Jindan seniors is a sword cultivator, known as Langping Zhenren, and is a casual cultivator. The other is a medical cultivator, known as Yuexi Zhenren, and is a cultivator of the Danfu Sect. Although these two Jindan seniors are guest elders of the sect, they sometimes only appear once every few years. However, when the sect specifically invites them for something, they will generally come if they are free. As for the other foundation-building cultivator, he is an alchemist who excels in refining... foundation-building pills. We have invited him as a guest elder of the sect, and we have the first right of purchase of the foundation-building pills he refines."

When talking about these three guest elders, Fan Qiongzhi's expression was a little difficult to describe. He sighed and said: "They all have their own abilities, but I think..."

She lowered her voice and said, "It's not cost-effective to hire them. The sect spent a lot of money, but got very little in return. Sigh, it would be great if we could invite Senior Kuang. Although he is only a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, if we can invite him to be a guest elder, our Jinling Sect will not only gain tangible benefits, but also gain some reputation. Most importantly, we can enjoy the shade under the big tree!"

"Friend Fan, you and Friend Song, why are you both thinking about Kuang Wei? Don't worry, he won't come. I've already made inquiries for you. He's not as idle as I am, running over to your place to be a guest elder. He's busy!"

As he was speaking, Shen Chijian and Song Chunchi came over with the spiritual food ordered by Fan Qiongzhi.

Sui An could roughly guess what the spiritual foods Fan Qiongzhi mentioned were, except for the first two. The names of the rest were really abstract, and it was impossible to guess what ingredients they were from the names.

So when the spiritual food was served, Sui An took a careful look at it, and then he realized that Zuichenxian was made by cooking spiritual crabs with spiritual wine, and Jinsubing was a staple food with a crispy and fragrant taste. Cuishanli was a platter of several kinds of spiritual vegetables. The jade plate was filled with green and spiritual vegetables. After only the simplest cooking, it was obvious that the original flavor of the spiritual vegetables was retained. It looked not only pleasing to the eye but also delicious. As for Qingyu Soup, it was a soup stewed with spiritual birds and spiritual fruits, and Lingbo Drink was a spiritual wine brewed with several medium-grade spiritual fruits. It was the recipe of Jinling Sect itself, but those medium-grade spiritual fruits were not easy to grow, so Lingbo Drink was also relatively rare.

According to what Fan Qiongzhi just said, this table of spiritual food and wine would probably require nearly a hundred spiritual stones. For the disciples of the Jinling Sect, it was a very expensive and luxurious meal.

It was precisely because of this that even though Fan Qiongzhi felt disappointed when she heard Shen Chijian bluntly say that Kuang Wei would not come to Jinling Sect, let alone accept the invitation of the guest elder of Jinling Sect, she was comforted by the table of spiritual food and wine in front of her, and that disappointment was not impossible to dispel.

"Sister, please try this Drunken Crab. Spirit crabs suitable for making Drunken Crab are hard to come by. I heard from Sister Wu that the Deacon Hall's purchasing officer might not be able to buy one once every ten days or half a month. We're lucky today; the kitchen actually has this dish!"

Shen Chijian used clean bamboo chopsticks to pick up a spirit crab for each of them, and even offered to open the crab for free. Of course, he did not use tools to open it, but used magic. As for what kind of magic it was, Sui An, who was only at the first level of Qi Refining, naturally could not identify it. Perhaps it was not a magic recorded in the Guishi Jue at all.

"Thank you, Senior Shen!"

Sui An and Fan Qiongzhi thanked Shen Chijian, and then they stopped talking and enjoyed the food seriously.
