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 337 Qing Li
The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aroma wafted out, instantly filling the area around the cashier.
The enticing aroma caused the ghost cultivators who were already somewhat restless to crane their necks and fix their eyes on the large pot of oden.
The ingredients in the pot were separated into different small compartments, and the brown broth was bubbling and steaming, looking very tempting.
This smell is completely different from the milk tea they just smelled. Milk tea has a sweet smell that makes them feel happy.
But the smell made their stomachs rumble loudly.
Regardless of whether I had eaten anything before, my stomach started growling.
For a moment, a 'gurgling' sound kept coming from inside the store.
Gu Xinyan and the others who were nearby naturally heard it, as did the ghost cultivators queuing outside the store.
They could smell the fragrance that suddenly wafted out, but because of the distance, by the time it reached them, only a faint trace remained.
It was this subtle aroma that captivated them, making them eager to rush inside immediately.
However, the two ghost messengers were still guarding the store entrance. Even if they wanted to break in, they didn't have the guts, so they could only stare longingly at the store.
Inside the shop, after a brief silence, the ghost cultivators behind Yan Xi in line couldn't help but shout loudly:
"Gentlemen, I'll have one too! One of everything from that pot, please! Pack it up for me now, it'll be my turn soon!"
"Yes, yes, I want one too. Give me the same one. It'll be my turn soon."
"Me too, me too!"
"Don't rush. Those of you at the back of the line, call out later. If you call out so early, by the time it's your turn, you'll all be out of luck."
Hearing the shouts behind him, Yan Xi couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling that her decision was indeed correct.
If you hesitate for even a second, you'll probably end up being one of those people eagerly waiting in line.
"Okay, here's your milk tea, be careful it's hot. And this oden, all the ingredients were carefully selected."
And the soup base is made with a secret recipe, it's incredibly flavorful, guaranteed to leave you wanting more!
Gu Xinyan pushed the milk tea and oden to Yan Xi together and said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at the ghost cultivators behind her who were still shouting and quickly tried to calm them down:
"Everyone, stop fighting for now. There's enough in this pot for each of you."
One at a time, don't rush, everyone's here. Okay, next one, please come up.
After saying that, he beckoned the people behind Yan Xi to come over.
Upon hearing this, Qing Li, who was standing behind Yan Xi, quickly stepped forward, placed the milk tea in her hand in front of Gu Xinyan, and said with a slightly shy tone:
"Mr. Gu, thank you for your trouble. I'd also like a serving of oden, one of each!"
And...and can you take this with you? If you can, I'd like to take another one, the same kind.
Qingli is a newly descended soul, but she doesn't come from an ancient plane. Instead, she comes from a cultivation plane. However, she had low cultivation talent in her previous life and was an orphan.
After being taken in by his master, he was able to begin his cultivation journey, which was already extremely arduous.
The sect was also in dire straits, so he didn't have any extra spirit stones to buy any life-saving magical artifacts.
He died under the lightning tribulation, having withstood more than twenty lightning strikes with his physical body. Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand the last few, which is why he came down.
I feel a little sorry for my master. If he had been able to successfully overcome the tribulation, he could have led the sect to participate in the sect competition.
They might even get a good ranking and receive some resources.
But now that things have come to this, there's no other way but to try and make a name for ourselves in the ghost realm.
If the junior brothers and sisters in the sect also come down then, they will have someone to rely on.
With these beautiful thoughts in mind, Qing Li worked very hard every day afterward.
Fortunately, he had good aptitude. Although he hadn't been here long, he had already reached the threshold to go to the Nine Realms.
However, I have been summoned by Lord Yu for talks for the past two days, which is why I haven't been able to leave and we've been talking for several days in a row.
He was a little unaccustomed to not being called in for a talk today, so he came out for a stroll.
Unexpectedly, this stroll led to a major incident.
That was the arrival of Boss Gu and his group. You should know that Boss Gu and his group were living people. Not only did they come to the Ghost Realm, but they also opened a very magical shop in the City of Rebirth.
No wonder Lord Yu didn't call him over for a talk today; it seems something big really happened.
And that milky, fragrant smell just now really pleased him.
Back in the cultivation world, I was poor and had no spirit stones. Before I practiced abstaining from grains, I would just eat whatever I could find.
After I started fasting, I haven't eaten anything since, and I can't afford spiritual food either.
But when he smelled that fragrant aroma, he couldn't resist. He even came downstairs, and he still hadn't used up all the ghost coins given to him by the new soul.
They usually try to save money wherever possible, since taking the teleportation array to the Nine Realms also requires a certain amount of ghost coins.
He had originally planned to go to Yangyu City in the Nine Domains, and after settling down, find a job, because for ghost cultivators like them who have no family, they can only rely on themselves for everything.
The City of Rebirth is the first stop for receiving newborn souls, so these newborn souls without parents will receive a sum of ghost coins as a subsidy.
They used these as supplies for their life in the City of Rebirth, but later on, they would have to rely on themselves.
Originally, I wanted to resist buying anything, but I couldn't resist what Ah Li, the ghost messenger, had just said. He said that the food contained very pure ghost energy, which was very good for them, the ghost cultivators.
Fortunately, Boss Gu's place allowed him to exchange items, so he exchanged all the magical artifacts he had bought to aid his cultivation when he first arrived.
After all, he doesn't need those things anymore, so exchanging them is just right.
After all, there are too many magical artifacts that can assist in cultivation in the City of Rebirth, and these are only for newly born souls. They are not very useful for ghost cultivators who have already entered the path.
So those who want to sell secondhand items have no chance at all; those newbies will definitely prefer to buy from shops in the city streets.
After all, these magical artifacts weren't expensive, but he couldn't bear to throw them away, since he had bought them all with ghost coins.
