Chapter 39: Spiritual Food
Zhenjiu Pavilion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Zhao Li and Lady Nie were sitting at a table in the lobby, and a handsome and handsome shopkeeper who had cultivated as a foundation on the side was looking at the two of them suspiciously.
It's not that the dog's eyes are low, although Zhao Li's cultivation is only the fourth layer of qi refining, and the average cultivation of the dining monks in Zhenjiu Pavilion is in the middle and late stages of foundation building, which is really too eye-catching.
It is definitely not based on appearance, although Zhao Li and the beautiful foundation building female monk companion beside him are all plain clothes, and there is no fluctuation of magic weapons and magic weapons.
The main thing is that the ordering conversation between the two monks is too suspicious.
"Just one bowl of boiled rice per person. β
Boss Nie in the foundation building period said.
When Nie Linghui's previous master was still alive, he also took her to eat spiritual food once or twiceβfood made with special materials containing spiritual power, so she knew the preciousness of spiritual food.
Lingmi is the simplest and cheapest meal in the spiritual food, but in the tall Xianjia restaurant 'Zhenjiu Pavilion', this is equivalent to a bowl of white rice in a mortal restaurant, and the asking price is five taels of spirit stones.
"Yes, let's have a few more side dishes, a fish-flavored shredded pork, a stir-fried anchovy shrimp, a seven-star ball soup, a stewed jade mustache, and two cups of dragon vine tea. β
Zhao Li, who only had a fourth-level Qi refining cultivator, was unceremonious, but he just glanced at the price on the menu and ordered it.
The little two of the foundation building shop waiting on the side were a little dizzy, this Zhen Wine Pavilion is a high-end monk hotel that does business seriously, although just listening to the name of the dish may not feel much different from the mortal world, but the price is one day and one place, not to mention the Qi refining period, even if it is in the late stage of foundation building, few dare to order so boldly.
You must know that the 'fish-flavored shredded pork' of this Zhenjiu Pavilion is the real 'fish-flavored shredded pork', and the materials are exquisite and unambiguous.
The fish is the purple-veined silver horn fish of the Jasper Lake in the depths of the Yuntai Mountains, and only juvenile fish under the age of ten are selected, and the meat is the tenderloin of the red red antelope on the flame cliff thousands of miles away from Yuntai Mountain.
Speaking of stir-fried anchovy shrimp, the 'anchovy shrimp' in Zhenjiu Pavilion is really a natural 'anchovy', and it is by no means a thing to cut the tail of an ordinary small river shrimp to fool people.
This shrimp is the junction of Qin and Yan, a rare species in the Chiyang River, has been endangered, I heard that this shrimp has a very weak trace of the blood of the ancient beast 'Phoenix', so it has a 'phoenix tail', the monk eats it for a long time, can strengthen the control of the spell, a shrimp will be sold for fifty taels of spirit stones!
There are also seven-star balls soup, stewed jade mustache, and dragon vine tea, all of which are also valuable and have their own miraculous effects. If they are all on the list, it is thousands of taels of low-grade spirit stones, you know, even if an ordinary Jindan period boss comes to this Zhenjiu Pavilion to dine, it is just to order one or two side dishes.
Sure enough, it did not exceed the conjecture of this handsome foundation building shop junior, unlike the little qi refining monk who was blind, the beautiful foundation building female monk, her face changed when she heard the names of these dishes.
"Ah Li, are you crazy? How can we afford to eat such an expensive dish, besides, with our cultivation, eating it is a waste, and we can't absorb the aura in it at all." β
Boss Nie's objection is justified, the meaning of the existence of 'spiritual food' is to let those rich monks not eat Bigu Dan, and by the way, they can also improve their cultivation.
The more expensive and rare the spiritual food, the richer the spiritual energy it contains, but just like the saying of 'void is not replenished' in later generations, the more precious the spiritual food, the more necessary it is to have the corresponding cultivation to eat it, otherwise, I am afraid that the meridians and spiritual sea will be damaged.
Zhao Li invited Lady Nie to dinner, originally saved the idea of the 'romantic candlelight dinner' routine, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, you must eat happily and comfortably, and you can't lose face in front of the goddess, but since your cultivation is low, you can't eat it even if you spend money, so it's no problem.
In the end, after some disputes and negotiations between Zhao Li and Boss Nie, it was decided to order: "Two bowls of boiled rice, one fish-flavored shredded pork, and one stewed jade mustache." β
"Okay, Cheng Hui 230 taels of spirit stones, if you pay for the middle grade spirit stones, you only need 20 taels!"
The handsome and handsome Zhuji Dian Xiao Er decided to collect spirit stones from these two suspicious monks first, because he found that the small casual cultivator of the fourth layer of qi refining was a bit like a small casual cultivator who wanted to come to Zhenjiu Pavilion to eat the overlord meal a few months ago.
"Didn't you say that the foundation building monks can eat first and then pay the spirit stones?"
Zhao Li frowned, the handsome shop junior in front of him seemed to be the witty shop junior who had seen through his former 'Overlord Meal Plan'.
"Generally, the seniors of the Jindan period, when they eat in this store, they usually have about a hundred taels of lower grade spirit stones, two Taoist friends, and I hope not to make it difficult to be in the next place. β
This handsome Zhuji shop junior was also very polite, and directly pointed out his own suspicions.
The two monks in front of them don't look like the 'second generation of immortals' and 'second generation of spirits', generally such a poor, or a monk of great goods, has this spirit stone that has been stored for a long time, and it is also used for exercises, magic weapons or elixirs, how can it be used to eat spiritual food?
"Hmph. This fellow Daoist, I think the phenomenon of judging people by their appearance is very bad. β
Zhao Li replied lightly, took out a few handfuls of crystal clear lower-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and put them on the table, a little bit, these lower-grade spirit stones had exceeded 234 taels.
"Here are two hundred and fifty taels of low-grade spirit stones, except for the food money, the extra is the 'tip' for you, but I want you to remember one sentence. β
Zhao Li glanced at the handsome Xiao Er of the foundation building period, and the expression on the latter's face at this time was a little complicated, with disbelief, surprise, and a hint of confusion.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor!" Zhao Li finished speaking word by word, before pushing these spirit stones in front of the handsome shop Xiao Er, and added: "Remember to hurry up when you serve."
"Yes, yes!" The handsome shopkeeper quickly put away the spirit stone from the table, and nodded in agreement, and now a look of shame flashed on his face...
"It's a shame to say that this kind of middle two shame is off the charts, but there is a little bit of faint pleasure, no wonder a lot of pig's feet like to come from time to time, I don't know if Boss Nie thinks I'm very proud and free...
Zhao Li had an indifferent expression, but he was reminiscing about how the image was established just now.
"You, you just gave out dozens of taels of inferior spirit stones as a tip?"
But Zhao Li was disappointed, and when the second junior of the first-class store walked away, Boss Nie stared at Zhao Li with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and looked at the wronged head: "Do you know that our tea buck is operated by you every day!"
Zhao Li threw a storage bag in front of Nie Linghui and said with a smile: "Boss, I don't know if you have heard of a saying?"
Boss Nie picked up Zhao Li's storage bag and said strangely, "What is it in here?"
