When mentioning "Lüshi Chunqiu," one cannot avoid speaking of Lü Buwei. The so-called operators of the establishment were all members of the Lü family and naturally descendants of Lü Buwei.
In the past, Lü Buwei committed suicide by drinking poison. The Lü family, on their journey to relocate to Shu, discovered a cave that led them deep underground!
Lü Buwei was originally a merchant. While the Lü family hadn’t learned the political strategies he employed in the royal court as Prime Minister, they did pick up quite a few of his business tricks.
Today, the only inn in the Underground World is "Lüshi Chunqiu." This is also the name of a book; the "Lüshi Chunqiu" is a famous work of the Huang-Lao school of Daoism, compiled by retainers under the stewardship of Prime Minister Lü Buwei of the Qin state.
Now, in the backyard of the "Lüshi Chunqiu" closest to Peach Blossom Spring, Lv Hengliang was tallying up the inn’s profits from the past year, and he couldn’t help but frown. There had been no new dishes that year to capture the attention of patrons. Naturally, the chefs of "Lüshi Chunqiu" had traveled to various countries in the Surface World to learn their culinary arts, though outsiders were unaware of their true identities. But now, all the dishes they could learn had already been served. No matter how they varied them, the essence remained the same—they always lacked a new flavor.
What should I do? Lv Hengliang rubbed his temples, feeling utterly helpless.
"It seems I’ve arrived at precisely the right time!" Suddenly, an elegant voice came from behind him.
Startled, he swiftly stood up from his chair and exclaimed in alarm, "Who’s there?"
He wasn’t untrained; he had practiced Cultivation Techniques before. Yet for someone to stand behind him so silently that he was completely unaware... At this thought, Lv Hengliang broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around, only to see a person shrouded in Blood Mist standing just twenty centimeters behind him, their true face completely obscured.
The Blood Mist is too thick! Judging by its terrifying nature, the stranger might be a Demon Cultivator, possibly from one of the three great demonic factions.
After a moment, Lv Hengliang shook his head. At this point, what’s the use of pondering the stranger’s identity? He was certain the person didn’t intend to kill him. If they had, they would have acted already, and he would be dead.
"There’s no need to be anxious. I am here to propose a collaboration," the voice emanated lightly from within the Blood Mist. It was the kind of pleasant, worldly voice one might associate with a distinguished gentleman from a chaotic era, yet it held a power that seemed to descend from the Nine Heavens.
Next, a bottle of sauce floated out from the Blood Mist.
Lv Hengliang took the sauce and slightly furrowed his brow. His inn already had an abundance of condiments, such as top-grade caviar and premium salad dressing. What use is this bottle of sauce?
From within the Blood Mist, Wu Tian smiled and cut straight to the point. "Try it yourself and see if our collaboration is worthwhile."
Lv Hengliang nodded and examined the sauce carefully. The bottle was a common glass one, nothing special. Judging by appearance alone, the packaging doesn’t pass muster! Of course, what matters most is the flavor of the sauce inside.
He had someone bring a bowl of white rice and a spoon. Lv Hengliang first scooped out some of the sauce and sprinkled it over the rice. Immediately, the aroma of peach blossoms filled the air.
"Is this actually Peach Blossom Sauce?" Lv Hengliang’s brow furrowed slightly. Peach Blossom Sauce was rare for a reason. Many had attempted to make a sauce with peach blossoms and other ingredients, but it never tasted good. It couldn’t compare to chili sauce, Lao Gan Ma, or even rose sauce. That’s why Peach Blossom Sauce, whether in the Surface World or the Underground World, was seldom seen; gradually, no one bothered to produce it anymore.

But the thought of the delightful Peach Blossom Sauce distracted him again. He glanced at his clean bowl, then back at the sauce in the bottle. I can hardly believe it. How could Peach Blossom Sauce be so unbelievably delicious? It’s simply unreasonable! How exactly was this made? How can it be so good?
Legendary cooking utensils? What are those?
In any case, Lv Hengliang found it difficult to maintain his composure. If legendary cooking utensils like the ones he mentioned truly exist... if... what does that imply?
At the same time, Lv Hengliang felt the Yuan Force within his body grow slightly stronger, which astonished him even more. And it’s all thanks to the Peach Blossom Sauce! Peach Blossom Sauce? Legendary cooking utensils? These are things unheard of in the Underground World! If this news were to spread, it would surely cause a sensation!
