The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 77: Legendary Scholar

"Qin Lang, hurry up and follow!"

Zhao Qian's call brought Qin Lang back to his senses quickly.

"Coming!" he responded, quickly catching up with Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong who were heading towards the Royal Spirit Chef Association. "What procedures do we need to go through?"

"Whenever a Royal Spirit Chef arrives in a new city, they must go to the local Royal Spirit Chef Association to complete the travel registration procedures." Zhao Qian has a lot of experience in this area and smiled. "Of course, this is not mandatory."

"As you all know, constantly being exposed to new things and experiencing novel things can help the Spirit Eater's experience points increase faster."

"If you live in one place, your experience points will increase more slowly."

"The special nature of food spirits means that for Royal Spirit Chefs, traveling to different places and practicing is a common thing to do."

Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong nodded at the same time.

This was the first time for these two men to travel far away after becoming the Royal Spirit Chefs, but they also knew this.

"But this is a rather troublesome matter for the Imperial Spirit Chef Association." Zhao Qian chuckled. "Just think about it, the Imperial Spirit Chefs from all over the place are always traveling. Their high mobility makes it very difficult to manage them."

"So the Royal Spirit Chef Association has long been providing travel registration services, and recommends that Royal Spirit Chefs quickly handle this type of service at the local Royal Spirit Chef Association whenever they arrive in a new place."

"The Royal Spirit Chef who registers for travel can enjoy many preferential treatments."

"First, you can obtain a list and detailed information of local food recommenders and spirit masters, and quickly find the most suitable target for the challenge."

"This is indeed very convenient." Qin Lang couldn't help but nod.

For local people, they are naturally familiar with the local food recommenders and spirit holders, but for travelers from other places, if they just arrived in a new place and did not do their homework in advance, they would have no understanding of this aspect.

"That's not all!" Zhao Qian smiled. "After completing the travel registration, out-of-town Royal Spirit Chefs can enter various famous local attractions and amusement parks at a very low discount."

"In addition, you can also get a food purchase voucher to use to purchase food locally. The specific value of the voucher varies from city to city, but it is generally not less than 5,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong couldn't help but be shocked.

You know, a traveling Royal Spirit Chef may only stay in a city for a short time, even just one or two days, but as long as he registers, he can get such a purchase voucher. The association is already quite generous.

With such benefits, I believe that most of the Yuling chefs who come to travel openly will not mind making such a trip.

"Let's go, let's register." Qin Lang quickened his pace.

The travel registration procedure is quite convenient. You only need to show your Yulingchu certificate and it can be completed in a few minutes.

Soon, Qin Lang and the other two came out, each holding a file bag with the Royal Spirit Chef Association logo printed on it.

The briefcase contained various travel information about Bailushan City and a food voucher worth 10,000 yuan that could only be used in Bailushan City.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Cao Dongdong stretched lazily. "Right now, I just want to have a good sleep on the hotel bed and try some of the special snacks in Bailushan City."

"Have you mastered the Dragon Beard Pastry?" Zhao Qian asked suddenly, causing Cao Dongdong's expression to fall.

Qin Lang didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on his face.

After the fourth painting was opened, he didn't have time to enter the Traveler's Book to check the rewards and the contents of the fifth painting.

He planned to go back to the hotel room and talk about it.

The three of them were walking back as they chatted, but were drawn to a bustling scene ahead. Beneath the statue of the Silver Deer, a dozen adults and children gathered, laughter emanating from time to time. "Let's go take a look?" Zhao Qian quickened her pace, actively moving closer.

Qin Lang and Cao Dongdong had no objections either.

As the three of them approached, a slow voice drifted out from the crowd, "In the beginning, the Soul Eater made an eternal covenant with the human king, fell into a long sleep, and bestowed the power of the Soul Eater upon this land."

This is…

Legend?

Qin Lang and the other two looked at each other, their eyes piercing through the crowd to see the figure surrounded by everyone.

He was a handsome young man with long silver hair draped over his shoulders, holding an instrument that looked a bit like a small guitar in his arms.

While Qin Lang and the other two cast curious glances at him, the young man continued his story.

"Those living beings who followed the First Food Spirit made a pact with each other: they would scatter across the world, lie dormant for an eternity, and protect this land for the First Food Spirit until the day it awakens."

"The Silver Deer was one of the original followers of the Soul Eater. It returned to the forest where it was born and accidentally saved a brave and fearless boy. Moved by the boy's righteousness, it chose to accompany him..."

A childish voice sounded excitedly.

"I know, it's the story of Jock the Deer Rider!"

"Yes." The young man's voice was filled with laughter. "Jock the Deer Rider was a man who loved adventure. He left his adventure stories in many places."

"The Silver Deer appears in all these adventure stories."

"After Jock grew old, the Silver Deer was filled with grief. It possessed an eternal lifespan, yet it could only watch its friend grow old."

"After Jock left this world, it completely disappeared and became a legend."

Having said that, the young man looked towards the silver deer statue.

"Some say the Silver Deer has returned to the place where it was born, now the White Deer Mountain City, and is watching the changes of this land."

"Some say it has left here, carrying on the legacy of Jock the Deer Rider, and is now traveling to every corner of the world."

"Big brother, can we see the Silver Deer?" another child's childish voice sounded.

"Perhaps." The young man smiled and said, "The Silver Deer can sense the kindness of humans and is also attracted by pure hearts."

"So, children, remember to keep your heart pure at all times~"

"Sure!" The child's eyes lit up and his tone was extremely firm, which made the adults around him smile with joy.

The young man stopped talking and gently plucked the instrument in his hand. The melodious tune echoed in the square, and the children left one after another under the guidance of their adults.

In the end, only Qin Lang and the other two were left watching quietly.

As the young man finished playing, Qin Lang and the other two couldn't help but applaud softly.

"Thank you for your appreciation." Although he was not wearing a hat, the young man still took off his hat in a gentlemanly manner, and then carefully put away the instrument in his hand.

"My name is Zuoge, and I'm a legend scholar."
