Chapter 721 Nothing more than that
Chapter 721 Nothing more than that
"Is this stuff really that good?"
Looking at Ye Qingti lying on the chaise lounge, Xiao Xiao of the Hehuan Sect was somewhat puzzled. It was only after the sect competition that she realized there were always people more capable than herself, and that there was always something beyond her reach.
These past few days I've been cultivating day and night. A few days ago I saw Ye Qingti drinking milk tea, and these days I've seen Ye Qingti drinking it again.
Even Xiao Xiao, who was always engrossed in cultivation, was somewhat puzzled.
"Senior sister, you don't understand. These days, if someone goes out without a cup of milk tea, they're considered to have no face. It's all the rage in the sect."
"It's not something for cultivation, so it's best to drink it sparingly."
"Hey, senior sister, how did you know it was for cultivation? I just drank Cloud Peak Matcha and I feel as strong as an ox. I'm going to join the mercenary group to kill monsters later."
Listening to Ye Qingti's nonsensical remarks, Xiao Xiao's gaze suddenly shifted to the milk tea in Ye Qingti's hand:
"Drinking it can accumulate spiritual energy? Spiritual food?"
"Yes, it can not only accumulate spiritual energy, but also eat, eat, eat!"
You have no idea, once they start drinking, they become ferocious, lose themselves, and act like they're on their own! A hundred or so young men, each carrying a drum slung across their shoulder, dance wildly before you, like a hundred or so stones repeatedly struck by a powerful earthquake. Like a sudden downpour, the drumbeats are rapid; like a whirlwind, the tassels flutter; like frogs leaping about, their steps are bounding; like sparks, their pupils flash; like fighting tigers, their powerful figures are striking…”
Ye Qingti was beaming with excitement. If Xiao Xiao hadn't known a little about medicine, she probably would have thought Ye Qingti had gone mad, spouting all sorts of nonsense...
Besides Ye Qingti, the milk tea was sold in large quantities this time, and many cultivators were able to purchase it.
Since the opening of the "Restaurant Where Sword Cultivation Careers Are Risked," every promotional campaign has brought more cultivators to know about this shop.
With its accumulated reputation and word-of-mouth recognition, "The restaurant that risked its sword-cultivation career" gradually became the most cost-effective spiritual food shop in the hearts of cultivators.
Many cultivators from the four major sects and other sects are regular customers of the shop. After making multiple purchases, they have discovered that the spiritual food in the shop tastes much better than that in other specially supplied shops.
The four major sects generally have a peak and territory dedicated to alchemy practitioners.
They can afford to provide spiritual food. As long as they complete sect tasks or receive spiritual food once a month, they will be given spiritual food. They have many ways to obtain spiritual food, since their own sect has alchemists who can refine spiritual food.
In comparison, the spiritual food they obtained from completing tasks or that was given away for free was similar to taking pills when they ate it. The better ones were colorless and tasteless, while the worse ones required chewing three sugar pills to suppress the bitterness of the spiritual food.
Most medicines taste bad and are difficult to drink.
It's not that they can't endure it. The higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the fewer they are like those in the stories who are pure and detached from worldly desires. If you're talking about being pure and detached from worldly desires and having no pursuits, most cultivators wouldn't even think about cultivation. Living a peaceful life would be the best outcome.
High-level cultivators, such as those above the Nascent Soul stage, often reach this stage due to various desires. For them, sometimes they can endure the hardships of spiritual food in order to cultivate.
But if there are spiritual foods that are more effective and taste better, they will naturally choose the latter.
The restaurant, which "bets its sword-cultivation careers on the line," sells delicious and inexpensive spiritual food, far superior to the free spiritual food offered by its own sect.
Even cultivators from major sects buy spiritual food from shops, let alone cultivators from minor sects.
Small sects rarely have high-level alchemists, and there are only a few alchemists who can refine spiritual food, so they can only purchase it from other sources.
There are very few alchemists who sell spiritual food through official channels. The spiritual food they refine is in high demand and cannot be sold on the Star Network. It is either supplied to large families and sects, powerful figures, or sold at a higher price on the black market. In short, they sell it however they can maximize their profits.
In comparison, Jiang He's shop has entered the public eye and is the first choice for many cultivators.
However, the prerequisite is that they can actually snatch it.
In their eyes, the shop owner was really laid-back; sometimes they had so much money they didn't know what to do with it, but they never saw the shop owner change the frequency of putting spiritual food on the shelves.
I'm absolutely furious at their lack of ambition.
The restaurant "The Restaurant That Risks a Swordsman's Career" is becoming increasingly popular. With the recent launch of new products, some people are happy while others are unhappy, believing that the restaurant's existence is affecting their business.
"This store has suddenly become a dark horse."
"That's right. The spiritual food I made last month took three whole days to sell out. Before, some of my regular customers would immediately pre-order as soon as they heard I was opening my alchemy furnace. But these past few months, they've been waiting for the shops that are 'betting on sword cultivators' to finish stocking up before they can pre-order, so the quantity has decreased a lot."
“Master Yun and Master Lin, you are wrong about this. This shop is not a sudden rise to fame. It was very popular five years ago.”
Zhang Xun sat at the end of the long table.
The people talking inside the room were all high-level alchemists with names and titles, either from major sects or from earth-rank families and above.
Zhang Xun's family, the Zhang family, is not even close to being a top-tier family. The reason he is sitting here is entirely because of his superb alchemy skills.
Zhang Xun's talent was not as great as Zhang Wan's, but as Zhang Wan's uncle, he still managed to become a high-level alchemist through hard work.
As soon as Zhang Xun spoke, Yun Jia, who was the first to speak, spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of rebuttal:
"Heh, it's nothing special. If it were as effective as the spiritual food we refine, she wouldn't need to sell it on the Star Network. It would probably have been pre-ordered by other cultivators and sold out in no time. Spiritual food shops like this just focus their efforts on other things. The taste is a little better, but otherwise, it's nothing special."
“Yes, that’s all that’s good about it. The shop is so high-profile, the more people are praised, the less they know where they stand,” Lin Xi’e replied.
