While walking with cat-like steps, she exclaimed, "Not bad, not bad, the spirit stones weren't a bad deal."
Lin Jingge chuckled softly as she looked at Xiao Shi's expression.
After drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp, he poured himself another full cup, placed it in front of him, and left it untouched.
Xiao Shi and Lin Jingge were of one mind and immediately knew that the other had poured the tea for them.
Meow~
It lunged at the long teacup, plunging its entire head into the tea.
Xiao Shi wouldn't normally make such cute gestures; she only cares about things related to spiritual energy.
Come to think of it, back in interstellar times, ever since Lin Jingge was able to earn money, she never skimped on energy stones for Xiao Shi. Now that they've come to this other world, not only has Xiao Shi been asleep for so long, but she really doesn't have any extra energy to give Xiao Shi.
I don't know how I ended up like this.
Lin Jingge sighed inwardly. She had initially found Xiao Shi's actions cute, but after thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt heartbroken.
The spiritual energy of a cup of spiritual tea is limited, and it was absorbed by Xiaoshi in just a few moments, leaving behind tea that had lost its spiritual energy.
"This tea is quite good." Xiao Shi exclaimed with satisfaction, "It's worth it! This shopkeeper is quite honest. I take back what I said earlier."
Xiao Shi was lying on the table, talking to Lin Jinge. It wanted Lin Jinge to drink more, preferably the whole pot of spiritual tea, since it was free anyway.
However, before he could say these words, he overheard the conversations of the people around him.
Sitting next to me was a family of three. The one speaking was a middle-aged man. Perhaps due to the hard work of supporting his family, the man looked old, even though his son was still a teenager.
What caught Xiao Shi's attention was not the appearance of these people, but a sentence spoken by one of the men.
It heard three keywords: dripping fruit!
Lin Jingge had obviously heard this too, but she didn't react as strongly as Xiao Shi. She turned around and exchanged a glance with Xiao Shi, seeing the shock in Xiao Shi's cat-like eyes. Lin Jingge didn't react much, maintaining her previous expression. However, she subconsciously began to pay attention to the conversation at the next table.
"I heard that the Cloud Cauldron Sect and the four major academies are recruiting students differently than before, and they're going to have some kind of test," the middle-aged man said, glancing at his son every now and then.
He has poor aptitude, and that's all he'll ever amount to. But his son is different. He recently received admission offers from the Cloud Cauldron Sect and the four major academies. If nothing unexpected happens, his son should be able to get into one of them.
None of the spiritual practitioners from these five families are useless; each one is renowned throughout the world!
If he can get his son in, then his son will be much more successful than him in the future.
Not to mention the various cultivation techniques of the academy, even the instructors are people they will never come into contact with in their lifetime.
The three-year enrollment period gives ordinary people like them a chance to reach the pinnacle.
"There was a notice that the number of qualified trainees this year is double that of previous years, so the rules have been changed. I'm no longer considered one of their trainees. I need to achieve good results in the competition to have a chance to choose; otherwise, I'll be eliminated," the boy said with some distress.
Previously, you could directly choose to enroll in the college just by passing the registration test, but this year there's been a new rule, and what if you get rejected...?
"I heard that the top three freshmen get a big prize," the middle-aged man said mysteriously to his son.
He didn't have the same worried look as his son. The middle-aged man had a lot of confidence in his son, believing that his son would definitely be able to enroll in school.
"There is a big prize, but all I know so far is that the second prize is a 'Drop Pearl Fruit'," the boy said, though he clearly didn't know what a 'Drop Pearl Fruit' was, his tone full of questions.
He subconsciously looked at his father, wondering if his father recognized the fruit.
However, his father disappointed him somewhat.
The middle-aged man clearly didn't know anything about the Droplet Fruit and subconsciously said, "I've never heard of this spiritual fruit before. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Impossible. I overheard that from a senior in the admissions office. It can't be wrong," the boy instinctively retorted.
"The prize for second place must be something extremely valuable." The middle-aged man didn't dwell on the topic. After saying this, he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "You'd better do your best. Forget about getting into the top three for that treasure, you have to get at least one of the five prizes. I've already made that promise, so if you embarrass me in front of our relatives, you'd better wait and see!"
The boy rolled his eyes inwardly upon hearing his father's words, but remained silent.
Lin Jingge, who was sitting next to him, overheard the entire conversation between the father and son.
[Gege, it's a Drop Pearl Fruit!] Xiao Shi was clearly excited. He had been worried about this thing before, but now he was the first to find out where this spiritual fruit was.
"But do you think what they're saying is true?" After calming down, Xiao Shi asked with some doubt.
Is it really possible for such a coincidence to happen in this world? I was just thinking about how to get this thing, and then news about it just came knocking on my door?
No matter how I think about it, something seems wrong.
Lin Jingge and Xiao Shi shared the same idea.
She's always had the worst luck, but now it seems like her luck has turned around?
[Whether what they say is true or not, we can go to the admissions office in the city tomorrow and ask, right?]
At this point, Lin Jingge subconsciously took out the token she had placed in her spatial ring.
With this token, Lin Jingge could directly participate in the grand competition, which saved her a lot of trouble.
After thinking for a moment, she put the token back.
The food was served, and Lin Jingge put the matter aside for the time being and ate her meal in peace.
Xiao Shi saw this but didn't disturb her. She obediently lay down to the side, staring intently at Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge was already used to Xiao Shi's presence and wouldn't lose her appetite just because he was staring at her.
As soon as the food entered her mouth, Lin Jingge clearly noticed the difference between the food here and that of the Canglan Continent.
It's not the taste, but the spirit it possesses!
Even the highest-grade spiritual plant, Canglan, doesn't have such a rich spiritual energy!
As expected, the Cloud Cauldron Continent lives up to its reputation.
Even in such a dilapidated-looking inn, there are so many good things.
The meal was very enjoyable.
Lin Jingge then went upstairs to rest.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, circulated her spiritual energy, and began to cultivate.
The next day, the sky gradually brightened.
Lin Jingge opened her eyes and slowly exhaled the stale air from the first floor.
