Chapter Ninety-Seven: Spiritual Food
In a relatively remote corner of the hall on the first floor of the Xianyuan Inn, four monks are sitting on the table and chairs, only a pot of wine is placed in front of them, four people drink together, these four people are three men and one woman, the leader is a thin and tall man, he looks ordinary, about thirty years old, wearing a Taoist robe, dressed like a Taoist priest, a scar-faced monk about thirty years old, and the remaining one man and one woman are all young people, but twenty-five or sixteen years old, the two sit together very closely, and the relationship is different from the other two.
"Big brother, what do you think of that kid?" he looks like a simple-minded hillbilly," Brother Scarface said mockingly to the thin, skinny man in the robe.
"From what he did just now, he really looks like a fledgling kid, I think he can try it, and his cultivation is not high, only the fifth layer of qi" The tall and thin man was expressionless, very indifferent, and his words exuded a sense of affirmation.
"This person is obviously not deeply involved in the world, it is indeed beneficial to our operation, plus Tian Dazhuang, who we found the day before yesterday, we are a little more sure of success this time, six people are just right!" said the young female cultivator with a smile, and said with a very charming smile.
"Fourth sister, wait a minute, you go and try that kid's tone!" the tall and thin monk looked at the woman indifferently in a commanding tone.
The face of the man sitting with the woman sank, "Big brother, I don't think this is right, let's go!"
"Third brother, you are a man, of course the effect is not as good as the fourth sister!" Scarface Monk laughed, he was very gentle from the tall and thin monk who was called the boss.
"It's because I'm a man that I can't let go to Qiuyu, we're in love, she's my woman, I don't agree!" the young man said angrily.
"Tongxing! this is just to try your breath, you don't have to be nervous!" said the tall and thin man in the Taoist robe, his face sank, and he frowned.
"Okay, it's okay, don't make a fuss, I'm just going to try my breath!" the young woman comforted the monk Tongxing and patted him on the shoulder.
The young man touched the woman's hand and didn't say anything more, but there was still some resentment between his eyebrows.
On the second floor of the Xianyuan Inn, the shopkeeper took Li Chong to the easternmost house, where the jade door of this house had 13 big characters written on it, and there was a circular groove on the door.
"This house is 201 rooms, the environment is very good, let's go take a look!" The shopkeeper took out a round jade plate in his arms, the size is exactly the same as the circular groove on the door, in fact, there are three small characters and many patterns, the pattern Li Chong can't understand, but the three words do know, it is the three words of 2013.
The shopkeeper pressed the round jade plate to the groove on the door, and the originally closed jade door suddenly opened, and as soon as the door opened, Li Chong only felt a fragrance coming to his face, and there was still incense in this house.
The shopkeeper led Li Chong around the house, the house was only twenty zhang square, and there were not many furnishings in the house, except for some items needed for daily cultivation, there was nothing special.
The spiritual veins in Li Chong's body moved, and he sensed the spiritual energy in this residence, "The amount of spiritual energy is really about the same as in the city, and there is no big increase" Li Chong muttered to himself, he didn't care about it, in fact, when he just entered the city, he found that the spiritual energy in Tianling City was much richer than that in the outside world, and like Qianyuan Sect, it should also be arranged to gather spiritual energy.
"Uncle, you can familiarize yourself with it, the villain will go down to arrange spiritual food and immortal wine for you, by the way, what kind of spiritual food and immortal wine do you want?" asked the shopkeeper respectfully.
"I want to ask, what is the spiritual food?, I came to Tianling City for the first time, and there are many things that are not clear," Li Chong was a little embarrassed, but still asked cheekily.
The shopkeeper almost didn't pass out directly, with an expression that you don't know, uncle, "Spiritual food is divided into many kinds, in fact, it is made of some edible demon beast meat and some spiritual plants and spiritual fruits grown in the spiritual field through special condiments, to put it bluntly, it is a dish made with spiritual energy! As for the immortal wine, it is made from some special spiritual elixirs and spiritual strains and spiritual fruits, which have many benefits for the monks."
"Oh, so that's the case, then just give me some ordinary ones, the price is within three spirit stones, I'll just try it!" Li Chong said with a look of me understanding.
"Okay, by the way, whoever lives must pay the spirit stone fee for at least five days first!" reminded the shopkeeper.
Li Chong smiled, took out the yellow token given to him by Zhao Yunyan, and shook his eyes in the shop.
"This is the VIP token of the Zhao family, the uncle turned out to be the VIP of the Zhao family, and the cost of the spirit stone can be halved according to the agreement!
"It's okay, in this way, you can inform the shopkeeper when I go down, I'll pay fifteen spirit stones first, a month!" Li Chong took out fifteen spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded, retreated, and handed the round jade plate to Li Chong before leaving, taking away Li Chong's spirit stone, which was originally half a month's expense, but it was quite a month's money, Li Chong became familiar with this residence for a while, and then closed the door and walked downstairs.
Li Chong came to the hall on the first floor and was thinking about finding a place to sit down, but before he could find it, the shopkeeper led a middle-aged man in his fifties over.
"Uncle, this is the big shopkeeper of my Xianyuan Inn, Shopkeeper Liu, who is responsible for entertaining VIPs" The shopkeeper walked in front of Li Chong and introduced the people behind him.
"Liu has met Daoyou, Daoyou can come to my Xianyuan Inn, it is really my Xianyuan's honor! Hehe" Liu's shopkeeper smiled, looking very easy to speak.
"My surname is Li, Daoist friend is polite!" Li rushed back, the other party was a monk, and what shocked him was that the other party's cultivation was still above him, and the cultivation in the condensation period.
"Li Daoyou holds the VIP token of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family is naturally close, there is no need to be so modest, in this Tianling City, we should naturally take care of it!"
"What a big shopkeeper, it's really a material for doing business!" Li Chong screamed strangely in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he chatted with him for a while, and finally the shopkeeper Liu left, and before leaving, he specially beckoned Li Chong to find him if he had something.
Li Chong came to an empty table under the leadership of the shopkeeper and sat down slowly, but the shopkeeper only took a moment before bringing a few jade plates, on which there were several kinds of food with different patterns.
"This is spiritual food?" Li Chong said curiously, the food displayed on the plate was not much different from ordinary mortal food from the outside, the only difference was that these foods exuded aura, although there were not many aura, but it was not something that could be made from the mortal world.
Li Chong picked up a pair of jade chopsticks and ate the so-called spiritual food, "The taste is still good, it really contains spiritual energy!" Li Chong only took a bite, and then felt it, don't praise it.
The shopkeeper stood beside Li Chong and nodded yes.
"You can also sit down and eat together!" Li Chong looked at the shopkeeper and said.
"Don't dare, the uncle is kind, we mortals can't eat spiritual food, we will explode and die!" Hearing Li Chong's greeting, the shopkeeper hurriedly retreated, waving his hands.
Li Chong was stunned and then relieved, the mortal body has not been tempered by the aura, it is indeed impossible to withstand the powerful energy contained in the aura in the spiritual food, if it can't be digested, a flesh and blood body may indeed explode and die.
"This spirit stone, I'm rewarding you, you're busy, and you're tired!" Li Chong sighed, thinking about it, it was not easy for the other party, a mortal who entered the world of this cultivator should be in the lowest kind of storage, and it was indeed not easy to be busy for the sake of **, and he directly took out a spirit stone with a good heart.
Seeing the spirit stone, the shopkeeper, who had always been honest, immediately became excited, bowed to Li Chong, took the spirit stone carefully and tremblingly, and looked at Li Chong very gratefully.
"Okay, it's okay, you don't have to accompany you here, you can do whatever you have to do!"
The shopkeeper nodded, saluted Li Chong again, and then respectfully retreated.
"Alas, what a cruel world!" Li Chong sighed, poured out a cup of immortal wine that had been served with the spiritual food, and drank it in one gulp.
"Wow! it's so strong!" Li Chong drank the immortal wine, and his first feeling was like this, this immortal wine contained an amazing aura, which was much stronger than ordinary wine.
"This fellow Daoist, I don't know if I can be at the same table" A woman's coquettish laughter sounded from behind Li Chong.
