Chapter 31 Preparing to Refine
After roughly estimating the whereabouts of his parents,
Shen Feng took a taxi back to the main branch of TH KTV. As he had just stepped out of the taxi,
Xu Dong and his son Xu Wenxing hurried forward to greet him. They had been waiting here for quite some time, and as the sky grew darker, they feared that Shen Feng would not return, their hearts full of anxiety.
At the sight of Shen Feng's figure now, Xu Dong and Xu Wenxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing excitement.
"Master, you've returned! I have already prepared dinner for you. I wonder if you've eaten yet?" Xu Dong asked respectfully.
Although Shen Feng's cultivation was only at the third layer of the Acquired State, he wouldn't feel hungry even if he didn't eat for several days.
However, appreciating Xu Dong's sincerity, he said, "Bring the dinner to my room."
Upon hearing this,
Xu Wenxing quickly darted out, running as he said, "Grandmaster, I'll help bring your dinner to the room."
Xu Dong smiled wryly and shook his head: "Master, please don't take offense at this child. I'll carry the bag for you."
Shen Feng waved his hand to show he didn't mind and handed the snake skin bag to Xu Dong.
After slinging the snake skin bag over his back, Xu Dong carefully led the way in front, with Shen Feng following behind.
Upon entering the main branch of TH KTV, the busy staff inside all directed their gaze towards them.
Fearing that someone who didn't know any better might offend Shen Feng, Xu Dong had made it clear that Shen Feng was his master, but he did not mention Shen Feng's miraculous abilities.
Although these people wondered why the boss would take such a young fellow as his master, what era was it? Still following these old customs? However, they relied on Xu Dong for their livelihood, and there were things they didn't need to understand; they just had to follow the boss's orders.
Thus, each service staff member that passed by gave Shen Feng a respectful greeting.
"Senior, hello!"
"Senior, hello!"
"Senior, hello!"
...
Since they didn't know how to address Shen Feng, the service staff eventually settled on the title "Senior."
Seeing Shen Feng slightly frown, Xu Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't you have anything else to do? Go mind your own business."
The surrounding service staff scattered immediately, and Xu Dong hurriedly apologized: "Master, I only told them your identity, not about your methods. I feared someone here might offend you."
Shen Feng knew this was Xu Dong's good intention, patting Xu Dong on the shoulder: "I'm not blaming you. You are now my registered disciple, and after some time, I will teach you a cultivation method."
After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Dong suddenly held his breath, even his heart seemed to stop at that moment. Was his master going to teach him an Immortal's technique? He quickly knelt before Shen Feng and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
The dispersed service staff saw from a distance their boss kowtowing to Shen Feng and felt as if they had seen a ghost, starting to wonder if their boss was possessed.
Shen Feng immediately said, "Stand up! There's no need for this!"
In Shen Feng's mind, there were many cultivation methods; finding one suitable for Xu Dong to learn should not be too difficult!
Once he found his parents and brought them to Wuzhou, he planned to start developing some industries. Of course, he would still prioritize cultivation. Therefore, teaching Xu Dong a method and letting him help manage some affairs would be a good idea.
Xu Dong picked himself up from the ground and said earnestly, "Once a teacher, always a father, we must not break the rules."
"Master, if you are willing to teach me the cultivation methods, I definitely will not disappoint you."
Shen Feng could only smile helplessly at this. When they returned to the room, Xu Wenxing had already brought over all the dishes and pulled out a chair for Shen Feng, saying, "Honorable Master, please have a seat."
The table was laden with an abundance of dishes that were a feast for the eyes as well as promising a delightful taste, specially ordered from a restaurant by Xu Dong.
After trying a bite of the steamed bass, Shen Feng's brow furrowed slightly; the taste was utterly disagreeable to him since he was accustomed to the food of the Immortal Realm.
Luckily, he now had in his possession an Immortal Flavor Stone, which once the Immortal Flavor Liquid was quickly refined from it, would allow him to taste delicious food once again.
Seeing Shen Feng put down his chopsticks, Xu Dong asked with evident alarm, "Master, does the food not suit your taste?"
Shen Feng offhandedly said, "It has nothing to do with you all, it's just that I'm afraid no one on Earth can make food that suits my taste."
Xu Dong and Xu Wenxing suddenly came to a realization.
That's right!
As a figure akin to an immortal, the food Shen Feng had eaten before couldn't possibly be replicated by any Earthly chef.
When Shen Feng opened the frayed snake skin bag, Xu Dong and Xu Wenxing paid no attention to the Immortal Flavor Stones inside. Instead, their eyes were fixed on the stacks of Hundred Yuan Banknotes.
Noticing their gaze, Shen Feng said indifferently, "I went out for a stroll today and casually made one million four hundred thousand Yuan."
Just a stroll.
And he casually made one million and four hundred thousand Yuan?
Shen Feng didn't concern himself any further with Xu Dong and Xu Wenxing and took out the Immortal Flavor Stone from the bag, while considering the dinner with Wang Anxiong the next day.
If he were to develop industries in Wuzhou later, he'd inevitably need Wang Anxiong to do things for him. Introducing Wang Anxiong to Xu Dong earlier would also be good.
Shen Feng then asked, "Are you free tomorrow at noon? Join me for lunch."
As a Registered Disciple, Xu Dong didn't inquire why they were going out for lunch. He knew that any task appointed by his master had to be accepted without question. Besides, accompanying his master for a meal was very important. He quickly said, "Master, I'm available tomorrow."
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Dong asked, "Master, have you reserved a restaurant? Do you need me to arrange it for you?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Someone has already invited us. It's at ZY Club." Shen Feng didn't elaborate any further; Xu Dong would naturally meet Wang Anxiong tomorrow.
Hearing it was at ZY Club, Xu Dong was slightly startled. He only had a bronze card to the club, and assumed that the person inviting his master for a meal must also have some status. He didn't press the issue further.
However, he could not have guessed that it was Wang Anxiong who had invited his master to dine. After all, Wang Anxiong was considered one of the upper echelon figures in Wuzhou.
Such figures were not merely someone of a slight status.
On the side, Xu Wenxing asked expectantly, "Honorable Master, may I come as well? I don't have to go to school tomorrow."
Shen Feng said indifferently, "If you want to follow, then follow."
"Oh, and prepare a few clean small bottles for me."
Shen Feng was preparing to refine the Immortal Flavor Liquid from the Immortal Flavor Stone. From such a large stone, he should be able to extract quite a bit of the liquid.
Hearing Shen Feng's agreement, Xu Wenxing hurriedly ran out, "Honorable Master, I'll go prepare the clean bottles for you now."
