If Wang Yao continues to shamelessly follow Zhen Huai and Zhang Ying around like a third wheel to watch movies, Chen Ke plans that she might have to teach him a lesson on behalf of his parents, so he will know what a worldview, values, and outlook on life are.
“Yes! You should come too!” Zhen Huai didn’t have many thoughts about it. After hearing Chen Ke’s words, he turned around and invited Wang Yao to go to the movies together.
"Um... well, your restaurant has a magnificent building and an ingenious structure. I'd like to take a good look around. I wonder if Mr. Chen would be willing?" Wang Yao was stunned for a moment. He was already an immortal, and he had absolutely no interest in movies.
However, the Lekoufu Lotus Pond Avenue store still had plenty of spiritual energy, so he was reluctant to leave and could only smile and make a request to Chen Ke.
"Uh..." Chen Ke had assumed that Wang Yao was going to go to the movies with Zhen Huai and Zhang Ying, so when he suddenly heard Wang Yao praising his restaurant, he was caught off guard and didn't know how to respond. But Wei Dafa, who was standing to the side, immediately laughed.
“Oh my, young man, you have a good eye. This was designed by Master Ruyuan, whom I specially invited. Before he left the monastic life, Master Ruyuan was a highly accomplished monk at Yunling Temple. He has a profound understanding of architecture. All eighteen temples in Yunling were designed by him.”
"If he hadn't met Abbess Qiushui and been overcome with worldly desires, deciding to return to secular life, Master Ruyuan might very well have become the abbot of Yunling Temple in the future!" Wei Dafa introduced the hotel's designer to Wang Yao with great interest.
Wang Yao nodded repeatedly. No wonder he thought this place looked like a temple complex when he came in. It turned out that it was designed by a monk. Could it be that this temple has the ability to gather spiritual energy? It seems that he should visit more famous mountains and ancient temples in the future, otherwise this spiritual energy will always be a worry for him.
“If you like it, young man, feel free to visit. It’s just that this restaurant is relatively new, and many of the valuable decorations haven’t been moved here yet. Otherwise, it would be even more beautiful,” Wei Dafa said with a smile.
Seeing that Wei Dafa had already spoken, Chen Ke didn't say anything more. Although she found Wang Yao annoying, she just didn't want him to interfere with Zhen Huai and Zhang Ying. Seeing that Wang Yao tactfully stayed at the restaurant on his own initiative, she let him go.
"It's 200 meters east of the bus stop. We're heading to the city first," Chen Ke instructed, preparing to leave. This place was deserted; there was practically no business here. She needed to hurry to the shops in the city to keep an eye on things.
“Um… young man, I can take him home. I have an appointment with Master Ruyuan for dinner here tonight,” Wei Dafa said hurriedly.
"You're treating me to dinner at my restaurant again! You just want to take advantage of me!" Chen Ke rolled her eyes at Wei Dafa and said angrily.
“Oh, we’re husband and wife, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. Look at this huge hotel that’s been built, and I haven’t asked you for a single penny!” Wei Dafa said with a shameless smile.
"Who told you to build this lousy restaurant? Even a machine gun couldn't hit a single person! ...Grandmaster, I'm going to the city anyway, so I'll take you to the movie theater while I'm at it?" Chen Ke cursed, then turned to ask Zhen Huai.
“Alright…” Zhen Huai nodded, then looked at Wang Yao. “Really not coming to the movies with us?”
Wang Yao hurriedly shook his head.
"In that case, head back early. You went to bed late last night and have been busy all day. Take care and get some rest. Come back to my place later to pick up a few eggs," Zhen Huai instructed. Seeing that Wang Yao agreed, he then left with Zhang Ying and Chen Ke.
“Young man, you can take your time to look around here. After I finish lunch, I’m going to take a nap as usual. I’ll… find a room to rest for a while, or would you like to find a place to lean against?” Wei Dafa turned to Wang Yao and asked as he watched Chen Ke and the others disappear.
"No need, no need, I'll just stroll around here." Wang Yao hurriedly shook his head and refused, wishing Wei Dafa would leave as soon as possible.
Watching Wei Dafa leave, Wang Yao hurriedly wandered around the restaurant, only to find that the spiritual power displayed by the system in the temple where they had just eaten was now "meager" and kept changing with the word "none".
Wang Yao knew that he had absorbed most of the spiritual energy from this temple, so he slowly walked back to the restaurant. The spiritual energy display for the next temple also changed to "thin," but this one was relatively stable, and the word "none" was not visible.
After passing through a long corridor, Wang Yu approached another temple. He was delighted to find that the temple's spiritual energy display was still "some," so he immediately stopped, found a stool in the temple, sat down, and continued to absorb spiritual energy.
Having absorbed over four hundred points of spiritual energy, the system then notified him that the spiritual energy in this area had been completely absorbed and that he needed to absorb from the surrounding area. Since no one was bothering him, Wang Yao naturally chose to go to a place with abundant spiritual energy to absorb. He stood up and walked forward, only to find that there was only one temple left.
Fortunately, the temple's spiritual energy indicator still showed "some". Wang Yao hurriedly went over and sat down to continue absorbing. As expected, the absorption speed was quite fast. Before long, the system notified him that 500 points of spiritual energy had been absorbed and asked Wang Yao whether he wanted to convert it into magic power or increase his cultivation level.
"Upgrade!" Wang Yao thought to himself. His system was already at level 2, and his skills were also at level 2. He should upgrade his cultivation level first. As for magic power, he wouldn't need it unless he used the red thread, so there was no need to rush.
"Tap tap tap..."
"Host has successfully increased spiritual power level. Current system level is 2, merit points are 2, and 4 points are needed to advance to the next level. Skill level is 2, skill points are 400, and 300 skill points are needed to advance to the next level."
