Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill
Chapter 153 - 103: Give Me 10 Jin
He first invited Shen Junmo, Chen Cheng, and Mu Xiaowan to take the best seats.
As for Yan Jian and Wu Tingting, the two had originally planned to eat on the first floor but had tagged along without leaving, obviously hoping to freeload.
"Chief Yan, Miss Wu, let’s the three of us sit over here. Although it’s a bit further in, we can admire the view of Jishui Lake without even turning our heads. It’s quite nice.
We arrived a bit late, so all the Sky-grade private rooms on the third floor have been booked. Otherwise, the view from up there is much more open.
But rest assured, everyone. I’m treating today, and there’s more than enough Demon Beast Meat to go around. Just eat as much as you like."
Seeing Shen Qingpeng speak so articulately, applying all his cleverness to worldly matters outside the Martial Dao, Shen Junmo let out a soft sigh and turned to admire the beautiful scenery of Jishui Lake.
Mu Xiaowan also looked out of the boat. Seeing a flock of white egrets flying under the blue sky in the distance, she couldn’t help but exclaim with delight, "Senior Brother Junmo, look at those egrets! They’re so beautiful."
"Yes. Flying high, so free and unrestrained. It’s wonderful," Shen Junmo nodded.
"Young Master Chen, the Eight Treasures of the Drunken Immortal are the most famous specialty of the Drunken Immortal Tower. How about we order them?"
Shen Qingpeng had wanted to impress Shen Junmo, but it was clear Shen Junmo had no interest in trivial matters like ordering food, so he had to turn to Chen Cheng for his opinion.
"Alright," Chen Cheng replied with a slight nod.
Shen Qingpeng turned to the attendant at their side and said boisterously, "Start us off with the Eight Treasures of the Drunken Immortal."
"Right away." The attendant’s eyes lit up as he announced in a resonant voice, "The Eight Treasures of the Drunken Immortal. Eight courses for fifty taels of patterned silver."
This was a rule at the Drunken Immortal Tower. After a customer placed an order, the price would be announced to prevent any disputes, especially for expensive selections like the Eight Treasures of the Drunken Immortal, where the customer had to be informed of the cost upfront.
"Do you still have any of that Tier Four Ink Flood Dragon Meat from Qinghe County?" Shen Qingpeng asked.
"We do," the attendant nodded and replied with a smile. "I should inform our distinguished guests that the Ink Flood Dragon is a Tier Four Demon Beast, making its meat extremely precious. It costs ten taels of silver per jin. How many jin would you like?"
"Hmm... I myself can only eat about half a jin," Shen Qingpeng mused. "But everyone’s appetite is different. Since I said there would be more than enough Demon Beast Meat for all, I’ll need to do a quick tally."
After a moment of thought, he looked at Wu Tingting and asked, "Miss Wu, how many jin of Demon Beast Meat can you eat?"
The Qingcheng Gang was quite influential, and as the Gang Leader’s daughter, Wu Tingting had some wealth of her own. However, she was not yet at the level of casually spending tens, or even hundreds, of taels of silver on a single meal. She was already stunned by Shen Qingpeng’s extravagance.
She glanced at Yan Jian and saw that he, too, was somewhat shocked, which made her hesitate.
Shen Qingpeng said magnanimously, "Miss Wu, just order what you want. An ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Skin Grinding Realm should be able to eat a jin of Demon Beast Meat."
Wu Tingting thought for a moment and said, "I’m at Skin Grinding Realm Perfection, so I’ll have one jin."
Shen Qingpeng then turned to Shen Junmo. "Cousin..."
Without turning his head, Shen Junmo said flatly, "I’ll have five jin. And half a jin for Xiaowan."
"Alright," Shen Qingpeng said.
Yan Jian was once again shocked by Shen Junmo. ’To eat five jin of Demon Beast Meat, one has to be at least at Muscle Strengthening Realm Perfection.’
Seeing Shen Qingpeng look his way, Yan Jian had originally intended to be polite and order less, but then he saw Chen Cheng smiling calmly, a breezy look on his face as if he couldn’t care less. After a moment’s thought, Yan Jian said, "I’ll have two jin."
"Young Master Chen, you practice Horizontal Cultivation Techniques, so your appetite must be quite large. How many jin will you have?" Shen Qingpeng asked last.
Chen Cheng smiled. "I’ll take ten jin." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
’Opportunities to feast on a rich man’s dime like this don’t come around often. I have to eat my fill, don’t I? Ever since he advanced to the Profound Gold Hide, not only had his skin become as tough as Profound Gold, but the strength of his vitality and blood had also increased to a terrifying degree. He felt like an ox, brimming with vitality.’
’Especially since he cultivated the Iron Armor Skill, an Inner Breath Technique, his digestive abilities were incredibly potent. Now that he had cultivated this Inner Breath Technique to Perfection, his digestion was absurdly powerful. For something like Demon Beast Meat, which greatly replenished blood and qi, eating ten jin was actually a conservative estimate.’
Shen Qingpeng’s face fell in astonishment. He asked with a hint of disbelief, "Young Master Chen, can you really eat ten jin?"
Yan Jian and Wu Tingting both stared at Chen Cheng in shock. Even Shen Junmo and Mu Xiaowan turned around, their eyes filled with amazement.
