Chapter 74 Going to Star-Picking City
The Four Directions Guest Restaurant is so popular that even cultivators from three or four neighboring towns around Jiyang Town have come to visit.
After all, compared to ordinary people who have to travel by horse-drawn carriage or oxcart, cultivators can fly directly on their swords and travel between neighboring towns in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Faced with a surge in customers, Boyiyan went from handling all the procedures himself to focusing solely on preparing the hot pot broth.
This is the core technology of antique soup.
The other kitchen staff, after returning home, also tried to prepare their own soup using the seasonings from the cooked broth.
However, seasoning is not something you can master by just glancing at it. You can't simply determine the proportions, the order of ingredients, or the cooking temperature.
Although they learned the basics, they could only manage to satisfy their family and neighbors, and the taste of their cooking was far inferior to that of Chef Bo.
However, Bo Yiyan did not intend to continue doing this. He had just arrived in the other world with Xi'er and wanted to find a free place to stay, and also to inquire about the local situation.
A month later, he and Xi'er had a general understanding of this world.
The cultivation system of the Upper Realm of Cloud Abyss is mainly based on spiritual energy cultivation, but a very small number of cultivators also follow the path of body refinement.
However, because the spiritual energy here is abundant, one's cultivation level is no longer limited to the Tongtian Realm.
Above the Heavenly Realm, there are even higher realms—the Heaven-Breaking Realm and the Divine Realm.
For Xi'er, a young cultivator who was only sixteen years old, it was not difficult to accept that there were two more realms above the highest realm in her world.
But Bo Yiyan felt completely unwell.
Back then, on Algae Star, he fought his way up from nothing to the top.
After leaving the Algae Star, although he encountered some setbacks and difficulties in the Flowing Light System, he eventually got through them successfully.
Later, when he arrived at the Misty Heaven Realm, he was forced to switch from the supernatural cultivation system to spiritual cultivation, and everything had to start from scratch.
Having finally broken through to the Heavenly Realm and stood once again at the pinnacle of the world, he now finds himself in the Upper Cloud Abyss Realm, only to discover that he has become a middle-level being who can be suppressed at will.
Seeing that he looked so dejected, Xi'er comforted him, saying, "Uncle Bo, people only have the motivation to keep climbing when they see even higher peaks."
Don't you have any confidence in yourself? Compared to those old guys who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, you're still a young man at sixty!
"If you cultivate for another few hundred years, you will surely reach the pinnacle of this world."
Bo Yiyan: I wasn't comforted at all, okay?
It wasn't that he was impatient for quick success, but rather that he discovered the world's high-end combat power was something he and Xi'er simply couldn't match.
Even if they found the location where the nine family heads were gathered, they could not stop them from continuing to tear through space.
As long as their hunting competition continues, the crisis facing the Dust Continent will not end.
As for staying in this world for a long time, enduring the long period of cultivation, and finally breaking through two major realms to stand at the pinnacle of this world?
This process was too agonizing. Putting aside everything else, he didn't know if Yu Shan and his wife could endure being out of contact with their daughter for such a long time.
What Bo Yiyan could think of, Xi'er could certainly think of as well.
But she was optimistic by nature and always believed that there was a solution to everything.
"Let's buy a ticket for a large airship and head to Star City first!" Xi'er said.
During this time, Bo Yiyan has been working as a chef and has gained a lot.
In addition to the salary paid by Boss Wu, he also reached a deal with Boss Wu—
On the second floor of the restaurant, there was an empty private room.
Customers who come to their restaurant but can't get a table can have a chance to dine in this empty private room.
However, guests must meet one condition: purchase a bottle of medicine exclusively prepared by Chef Bo.
The price of the medicine is half that of similar medicines sold in pill shops.
At first, customers were unwilling to buy his medicine, but later some customers reluctantly bought it in order to avoid queuing and eat the restaurant's antique soup.
Customers who are willing to spend money to buy this potion prepared by an anonymous person are all the kind of people with bulging wallets.
After buying the potions, they disdained to try them themselves and casually bestowed them upon their servants.
The servants who received the potion did not cherish it, but occasionally one or two servants would drink it as a last resort after being injured while hunting or having their spiritual energy depleted while fighting with others.
Only after drinking it did I realize that this medicine was even more effective than similar pills!
With its low price and high efficacy, these people weren't fools, so they naturally begged him to buy it.
After working at the Sifangkelai Restaurant for twenty days, Chef Bo found that the number of people seeking to buy the medicine almost matched the number of customers who came to dine.
Over the next ten days, he made a fortune.
After his one-month term expired, Boss Wu was willing to pay him three times his salary to keep him, while the owner of another medicine shop offered him ten times his salary.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Bo Yiyan could only promise to consider it for three days before giving a reply.
However, in the middle of the night the next day, he and Xi'er quietly left Jiyang Town and went to the nearest city, where they boarded a large flying boat bound for Zhaixing City.
The reason they chose Star City was because Hong Yuan had inadvertently mentioned that the person behind the hunting competition was the master of Night Pool Palace.
The master of this Night Pool Palace is said to be a reincarnated human emperor.
As for what a reincarnated human emperor is, Hong Yuan didn't know either, and the cultivators in the remote town of Jiyang were even more clueless about it.
Xi'er felt that instead of going to the heads of the nine families, it would be better to go directly to the master of the Night Pool Palace who was hiding behind the scenes.
Perhaps by starting with him, we can fundamentally resolve the disaster that this hunting competition has brought to the Dust Continent.
Sitting on the large flying boat, feeling the rich spiritual energy inside and enjoying the thoughtful service, Xi'er was extremely comfortable.
"Uncle Bo, they say that money is good wherever it's spent, and that's really true. It's worth spending a thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy two boat tickets."
"Hmph! You little brat, you said you'd accompany me through trials, but I'm the one who does all the hard work of making money."
In this month, I earned a total of 1,200 high-grade spirit stones, but I spent more than 80% of them on just two tickets.
"Now we're poor again, so will we have to rely on you to make money next?" Bo Yiyan said.
"Yes, no problem! Once we get to Star City, I'm sure I'll find a way to make money!" Xi'er nodded confidently.
"Little girl, where do you get the confidence to make money in Star City? I'd rather take care of you!" Hong Yuan's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Hey! You little rascal, you're underestimating me! You'll see how I make money once we get there."
Xi'er reached out and rubbed its fluffy head, not forgetting to pinch its chubby horn.
Hongyuan: This female teases him so many times every day, I can't stand it anymore, what should I do?
But considering how much she liked him, he held back and didn't kill her.
