Chapter 195 For Hot Pot

"Okay, this is it. What a coincidence! This one is near Yunmeng City. I picked the Tiangang fruit, a specialty of Yunmeng City."

Chen Shuyan said that as long as Lin Xiaoman agreed to go on the mission with her, she would do anything. Upon hearing this, she cheered happily.

"Well, let's go for this one. If we complete the mission, we can also take the extra Tiangang Fruit we picked. This fruit is very helpful for physical strength and can enhance our physical strength."

Lin Xiaoman nodded. She was quite interested in this fruit and wondered if she could bring her spirit beast over to eat it.

Well, Tuanzi and Baibai should also like to eat it. If we bring them in, they will be so happy.

"No problem, I'll do it right away. After we get this mission, we'll be ready to set off. The season for the Tiangang Fruit to ripen is almost here."

"I'm fine, I can leave anytime."

Lin Xiaoman naturally had no problem with this. She needed to prepare a lot of talismans. In the past two years, she had been practicing and drawing talismans. There were countless talismans in her storage bag, and she could use them at will.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you. Waiting for my news."

Chen Shuyan got up and left happily. In fact, she had accepted all three tasks and originally planned to complete them one by one. Now Xiaoman was willing to go with her, which was great. It would be a good thing if they could complete one task together. Maybe Xiaoman would even agree to complete the other two tasks with her.

Three days later, Lin Xiaoman was flying on a sword. He looked down at the scenery rapidly receding beneath his feet, squinted his eyes, and felt in an unusually good mood.

"You know what, I haven't been out for a long time, so it's really comfortable to go out and walk around more."

Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh as he looked at these beautiful scenes.

"Of course. Look at you, you stay in the yard all day, either practicing or drawing talismans. How boring."

If Chen Shuyan had to live like this forever, she couldn't imagine how difficult it would be. It would be better to go out and fight.

If it weren't for the purpose of retreating and breaking through, she would never want to stay in one place for more than a year.

"No, I think time flies by pretty fast. I draw a few talismans, and a day goes by quickly. You can't stay like this. What if you need to break through the seclusion?"

"Then I can only retreat. My master has told me about this many times. Why do I have to retreat? Sword cultivators like me should achieve breakthroughs in battle."

Chen Shuyan spread his hands helplessly, "I think my cultivation level increases faster during battle."

Lin Xiaoman smiled helplessly, "It seems that your strength has greatly increased in the past two years. This mission depends on you."

"Hey, no problem, no problem. Sister will protect you."

The two talked and laughed all the way. When they were tired, they would stop to rest, eat, regulate their breathing and meditate, and then continue on their journey. After half a month, they finally arrived at Yunmeng City.

"Let's go into the city first and eat hot pot. The hot pot in Yunmeng City is the most famous, and it's especially spicy."

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up as she looked at Chen Shuyan. Suddenly, she thought of something: she had been staying in the sect every day and not going out, so she had missed out on so many delicious foods.

Look at this, every time Chen Shuyan arrives in a city, he knows all the delicious food there like the back of his hand, but she knows nothing.

"I realized I had missed so much. I should have traveled more often. Then I realized there are so many delicious foods in the world outside."

Chen Shuyan looked at her speechlessly, but said, "This is also a good thing. At least there are delicious foods to attract you to come out and run. Hehe, let's go."

The two entered the city and went straight to the hot pot restaurant on the Xianyou Circle Food List that Chen Shuyan mentioned.

The gurgling red soup was bubbling and steaming. Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan both had their heads buried in their bowls, eating non-stop. Next to them, Tuanzi and Baibai were eating frantically in their own exclusive seats.

"Mmm, it's so delicious, a hundred times better than what I make."

Lin Xiaoman was going crazy, regretting madly how many delicious foods she had missed over the years, especially in the past two years. She had no mission to complete, so she should have gone out like crazy to look for delicious food.

"Shuyan, this is so delicious! I should have come out to eat with you a long time ago. Ahhh, I really want to buy their hot pot base."

Lin Xiaoman used to think that her cooking skills were pretty good. It wasn’t that her cooking wasn’t tasty, and it wasn’t that her hot pot wasn’t tasty. It was delicious before, too. But after eating at the hot pot restaurant in Yunmeng City, she noticed the difference. What had she eaten before?

"Right, Tuanzi, Baibai."

He turned around and looked at the two little guys who were eating happily.

"Mmm, delicious."

"It's delicious, Master."

Tuanzi looked up at her after he finished speaking, "Meow, Xiaoman, buy some more hot pot base. Do you have any fish?"

"Yes, yes, there are plenty. Come, all this fish meat is yours." Lin Xiaoman nodded repeatedly and said as he put the cooked fish meat into Tuanzi's bowl.

"I don't know if they have hot pot base for sale."

"I haven't heard of this. Let's go ask later. Is the hot pot here delicious? Let's buy more from this place. Can I come to your place for hot pot in the future?"

"Okay, okay, I'll buy some more hot pot base later. Mmm, it's so delicious."

Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's great. We can eat hot pot often in the future."

When they had eaten and drunk their fill and came out of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiaoman's storage bag was already filled with a hundred servings of hot pot base, and he also packed a bunch of their restaurant's specialty snacks.

After running to the City Lord's Mansion to sign up for the secret realm to pick Tiangang Fruit, Lin Xiaoman and Chen Shuyan were even happier to learn that they would have to wait another half a month before entering the secret realm. They rented a yard and started checking out various hot pot restaurants in Yunmeng City. If they found something delicious, they would buy a bunch of hot pot base, and if they found something ordinary, they would just eat it.

Half a month later, Lin Xiaoman felt that his whole body smelled like hot pot and he was very satisfied. The spiritual power in his body circulated for two cycles, the turbid air dissipated, and he felt refreshed.

"Let's go pick the Tiangang fruit."

Their mission is a sect mission. Picking 10 Tiangang Fruits counts as one mission, but it cannot be accumulated.

The Tiangang Fruits are all monopolized by Yunmeng City. In their hands, if you want to pick Tiangang Fruits, you can only go to the City Lord's Mansion of Yunmeng City and sign up to be a fruit picker.

The requirements for fruit picking in Yunmeng City are quite high. You must be at the Foundation Establishment stage. Otherwise, if you are weak in the Qi Refining stage, you won't be able to pick any fruit at all. Each successful cultivator needs to pick 100 Tiangang fruits daily, and the extra ones are theirs.

The ripening period of Tiangang Fruit is ten days. Anyone who successfully registers must go for the full ten days. If you do not go to the secret realm to pick Tiangang Fruit for ten days, you will be permanently blacklisted and will not be welcome in Yunmeng City, and you will not even be able to enter Yunmeng City.

Therefore, for the sake of hot pot, she had to endure these ten days, although she didn't know how difficult it would be to pick the fruits.
