Due to her parents' unexpected passing, Gu Xinyan resolutely quit her job in the big city to take care of her blind grandmother and her little brother. She returned to her hometown and inherite...
Chapter 161 Opportunity
The city gate, which was not crowded before, was now packed with people, including not only humans, but also those from the Beast Realm and the Demon Abyss.
The three tribes operated independently, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense, as if they were just waiting for a trigger to start a fight.
Although the atmosphere among the three races was tense, their eyes kept glancing towards the dimensional shop. Seeing this, Ye Qingyun and the others had a vague idea of what was going on.
If nothing unexpected happens, they're probably after Boss Gu's shop! Just as I was thinking this, I heard my master's voice.
"Qingyun, you guys come here and tell me what happened? Weren't you all in the secret realm? How did you all come out together, and even advance in rank? Do you know which faction that shop belongs to?"
Yuan Mingzi's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. The tense atmosphere eased a little with the arrival of Ye Qingyun and his group, and everyone's attention shifted to them.
"Ye Yuan, you guys come over here too."
"Cheng'er, you guys too! What are you all standing there for?"
As Yuan Mingzi's voice fell, different voices came one after another from among the human cultivators.
After exchanging a silent glance, Ye Qingyun and his group dismounted from their flying swords and headed towards their respective sects and schools.
"Do you know what's going on with that new shop over there? When you ask these people, they can't explain it clearly. They just say that the shop can give them sudden enlightenment, and that after you ate something, you all suddenly advanced in level?"
Yuan Mingzi was somewhat puzzled, after all, his disciples and the disciples of other sects had just caused quite a stir, and they had come out of seclusion when the tribulation of lightning descended.
They originally came to help protect their disciples, but unexpectedly, they encountered people from the demon race and the demon clan as soon as they came out, and they appeared so openly outside Liuyun City.
For a moment, they were a little confused about what they wanted to do, but they learned from the chattering of the cultivators behind them.
The origin of all this should be that shop that appeared out of nowhere. In the distance, he could see that among the people who were having an epiphany at the entrance of the shop, there were several from their sect.
Seeing that the demon and monster races wanted to pass, he was afraid that they had bad intentions. The sect leaders and elders of other sects, as well as the cultivators of various forces, thought the same way. That's why the three races were not giving way to each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
The situation eased slightly with the arrival of Ye Qingyun and her group, as it was easier to find out the details by asking the children.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun looked around at the countless inquisitive eyes casting their questions and felt a chill run down his spine. However, he still chose to answer his master's question in detail.
"Master, that shop belongs to Boss Gu and his group. They even claim to be from another world and came here specifically to do business."
We were originally searching for opportunities within the secret realm, but for some reason, we were suddenly thrown out of it this morning. Not only us, but also the demon and monster races were thrown out as well.
Finally, Boss Gu and his group emerged from the secret realm. Afterward, we followed them back to Flowing Cloud City. The shop they brought was also something Boss Gu and his group had taken us to; it sold things I had never seen before.
And that novel shopping method was quite amazing. Most importantly, the signboard of Boss Gu's shop contained a profound understanding of the laws of the void, but unfortunately, I am too foolish to fully comprehend it.
However, after only a brief moment of enlightenment, I felt my cultivation begin to falter, and ultimately I failed to break through. Also, Master, you just mentioned that the food we ate was actually sold at Boss Gu's shop; those foods were all spiritual foods.
My disciples and fellow disciples also broke through to the next level because they consumed these spiritual foods. The spiritual energy within those foods was abundant and exceptionally pure, allowing my disciple, whose cultivation had been stagnant for several years, to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.
As Ye Qingyun finished speaking, Yu Ling'er, Yan Cheng, Ye Yuan, and the others all nodded in unison, indicating that they were able to advance in their level because they ate the spiritual food from Boss Gu's shop.
It was like a super tonic, instantly boosting their cultivation levels. However, this wasn't absolute; their breakthroughs were also due to the fact that they had been stuck at the peak of their cultivation levels for several years.
The breakthrough was just one opportunity away, and that opportunity was these spiritual foods.
Moreover, the spiritual energy contained in these spiritual foods is extremely pure. Presumably, the junior brothers and sisters of the sect will also make great strides in their cultivation after eating them.
Most importantly, these foods can be purchased with spirit stones, and can be exchanged for other items, so even poor cultivators can buy a few portions.
This made Ye Qingyun think that Boss Gu and his team were really too generous, actually pricing the spiritual food so affordably.
Upon hearing Ye Qingyun's words, everyone present was shocked, followed by ecstatic joy. However, some people in the crowd were determined to acquire the store.
People from another world? Or are they here specifically to do business? Not only are there plaques containing the laws of the void, but there are also countless spiritual foods.
These events, one after another, may seem like a fantasy, but if they hadn't witnessed Ye Qingyun and the others' collective breakthrough with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have believed it.
After a brief silence, Yuan Mingzi decided to go to the store to meet the man named Boss Gu. If what his disciple said was true, then this store was not one they could afford to mess with.
Not only should they not provoke them, but they should also befriend them. These people might be an opportunity for their Imperial Sword Sect, and even for the entire Cangming Continent.
After all, the Void Ancestor left behind a final prophecy after his failed ascension: that extraterrestrial visitors would change the vast ocean.
After all, the Heavenly Gate of the Cangming Continent has been closed for thousands of years, and in those thousands of years, no one from the Cangming Continent has ever successfully ascended to heaven.
After the Void Ancestor's failed attempt to ascend, he perished, but he glimpsed a sliver of heavenly secrets.
However, not many people know about this prophecy; currently, only the sect leaders and elders of these major sects know about it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the other sects. Seeing that they all had solemn expressions, yet also a hint of excitement, he knew that they must have thought of this as well.
