Tang Baozhu only listened to the first half of his words; the second half was completely ignored and forgotten.
Now she didn't want to rest anymore. She decided to continue exploring the night market because she noticed that the people setting up stalls seemed to have changed. It was also possible that the market was too big and she just hadn't explored all the areas.
Because the city is too big, she hasn't been able to explore it all. She's just continuing to shop online, and she likes this feeling of browsing online.
"I don't want to find an inn to rest anymore, I want to continue exploring."
"I'll listen to you."
With such profound cultivation, Xu Rui could go without sleep for half a year without any problem, let alone something as trivial as accompanying his wife shopping. He certainly wouldn't refuse; on the contrary, he was particularly happy to do so.
At night, the streets are lined with many food stalls, all of which are made from various kinds of sea creatures.
Tang Baozhu was immediately intrigued, as these were all creatures she had never seen before. The sea monsters came in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
There were also seafoods I'd seen before, like sea cucumbers and abalone, but much larger than regular sea cucumbers and abalone.
If sea cucumbers and abalone on Earth are the size of a fist, then sea cucumbers and abalone in the cultivation world are the size of a person—the difference is simply too great.
However, it seems that cultivators all have a big appetite. Even though the food looks big, it's just a matter of a few bites for them.
At this moment, Tang Baozhu pulled Xu Rui to a stall selling grilled octopus. Although the octopus was hundreds of times larger, she would not mistake its shape.
I bought one directly because this kind of thing doesn't have any spiritual energy, and generally, cultivators don't like to eat it. Things without spiritual energy are only liked by some mortals, so one spirit stone can buy an octopus that weighs about a hundred pounds.
Even a spirit stone is quite precious to mortals, so it's only because some people want a change of pace that they're willing to buy an octopus.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man at the first level of Qi Refining. Given his age, it's easy to imagine how poor his spiritual root aptitude was.
However, his skills were indeed very good. He cut the octopus into sections, then used a type of seaweed leaf to wrap it into eight portions, and handed them to Tang Baozhu.
Store the seven portions in your storage ring, and open and eat the remaining portion directly.
One serving weighs about 20 jin (10 catties). Tang Baozhu was amazed after just one bite because it tasted so good.
She couldn't wait to pinch one with her hands and put it into Xu Rui's mouth. "You have to try it. This octopus is so delicious. I want to buy more."
"If you like it, buy more. Anyway, this stuff is so cheap. It just doesn't have much spiritual energy, so eating too much won't do you any good for your health. If you really like it, when we go out to sea and catch some sea beasts with particularly abundant spiritual energy, just ask the owner to grill it for you. Just give him a little more spirit stones then."
Xu Rui took a bite and it was indeed quite delicious. After a quick taste, he knew what seasonings were in it and decided that if he had time, he would bake some for his wife as well.
The stall owner next door was all excited when he heard that someone was asking him to help grill something, and that he was even offered a fee for his work.
However, he didn't dare to say anything and could only pray that they would ask him for help again after they returned from their voyage.
Although Tang Baozhu noticed that the octopus had almost no spiritual energy left, for a foodie, as long as it tasted good, that was all that mattered.
Moreover, my husband's suggestion seems pretty good. Anyway, they are all going out to sea to catch more delicious sea creatures. Just thinking about having a constant stream of delicious food makes my mouth water.
"Boss, grill me ten more octopuses."
"Coming right away, please wait a moment, sir."
Tang Baozhu saw that the octopus he took out looked quite fresh, so she knew that he must have a storage bag on him. She nodded in satisfaction, as long as it was fresh enough.
The stall owner was quite fast; after about half an hour, the ten octopuses were grilled.
Tang Baozhu glanced at his tools. In any case, the fire was probably not an ordinary flame. He must have used a talisman to make the fire so powerful.
Xu Rui quickly paid for the octopus once it was ready. He didn't even need the stall owner to cut it up for him; he simply put it into the lunchbox he had prepared.
Ten octopuses were easily put in, making the stall owner particularly envious.
After leaving this stall, there's another one; you can eat and stock up along the way.
Tang Baozhu didn't want to leave this street anymore. Every time she was too full, she would circulate her internal energy and her swollen belly would instantly flatten out.
I didn't stop eating until my cheeks were really tired. I ate at dozens of stalls, and if I found anything delicious, I packed it all up – more than ten of them.
Finally, we were so tired from walking that we stopped exploring the night market and found a guesthouse nearby. We booked a superior room and decided to rest first.
I didn't expect the accommodation here to be so expensive, costing 100 low-grade spirit stones per night. But once I got into the room, I immediately felt that the 100 spirit stones were well worth it.
There might be a spirit-gathering array set up in the room; as soon as I entered, I felt my pores relax instantly.
The spiritual energy here is exceptionally rich. Although it cannot compare to cultivating on a futon, it is far more abundant than normal cultivation.
After Xu Rui settled into the room, he first set up a defensive formation. This formation would prevent anyone with high cultivation from spying on the situation inside the room.
Tang Baozhu was thinking that the spiritual energy in the room was so rich that she could take out her futon to cultivate. Before she could even take out her futon, Xu Rui grabbed her hand and instantly pulled her into his space.
This was Tang Baozhu's first time entering Xu Rui's space, where the spiritual energy was so dense it seemed to be liquefying.
After taking a small breath of spiritual energy, I felt like my stomach was about to burst from the energy.
"Honey, the spiritual energy in your space is so rich! I feel like I can break through to the Golden Core stage very quickly if I cultivate here. You can't disturb me while I'm absorbing the spiritual energy; I need to break through to the Golden Core stage."
Although she was caught off guard when Xu Rui pulled her into the space, she quickly realized that he wanted to do something bad. Without giving him a chance to say it, she directly told him that she was going to break through to the Golden Core stage.
Tang Baozhu wasn't joking with him. The spiritual energy was so abundant that she didn't even dare to take out her prayer mat. Instead, she sat cross-legged in the courtyard and began to absorb the spiritual energy.
