Chapter 55: Chance Encounter
Tianxiangju is a green attic that is more than ten feet tall, with four floors in total.
Tianxiangju is built of Qingyun Lingmu. It has a fireproof rune engraved on the surface. Above the door, there is a wide plaque about twelve meter long, with the three big words "Tianxiangju". From a distance, Wang Changsheng smelled an attractive fragrance.
"Four fellow Taoists, welcome. Is there anything that can help you?" A young man in green walked over quickly and greeted with a smile.
"Is there an empty table? We want to eat something." Wang Changxue asked with his eyes passing by the table in the lobby.
"There is still an empty space on the third floor. Four fellow Taoists, please go upstairs."
The servant in green clothes smiled and took Wang Changsheng and the other four to an empty table on the third floor. Wang Changsheng and the other four sat down one after another.
"What are the delicious foods in Tianxiangju? How many dishes are introduced?"
The servant in Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "Qingzhu Lingjiu is our signature liquor in Tianxiangju. Guests who come to the store must order a pot of Qingzhu Lingjiu, Baibao Chicken, braised white jade shrimp, blood tofu, and white flower cake are all signatures of our store, especially Baibao Chicken, which is made of a whole first-class snow cloud chicken and dozens of medicinal herbs, with sweet juice and tender meat."
"How much is the price of Lingjiu and these dishes?"
"A pot of ten spirit stones in green bamboo spirit wine, fifty spirit stones in Baibao Chicken, twenty spirit stones in braised white jade shrimp, ten spirit stones in blood tofu, and five spirit stones in white flower cake."
Wang Changxing frowned and said in surprise: "So expensive?"
"It's not expensive at all, you get what you pay for. The ingredients are freshest. Taking them is beneficial to cultivation. Spiritual meals are different from pills. They are not resistant to drugs and are easy to absorb. If there are only four people, I recommend you order a pot of green bamboo and spiritual bamboo, braised white jade shrimp, blood tofu and fried chaucus. The fried chaucus only has five pieces of spirit stones. We will also give you a free dish of appetizers and pickled white jade radish."
"Third brother, seventh sister, ninth brother, which dish do you want to eat?"
Wang Changxue asked.
"Second sister, you can make your decision! You can eat whatever you want."
"Then I'll order a pot of green bamboo spirit wine, braised white jade shrimps, blood tofu, fried chaucus, and a plate of white flower cake, and four bowls of yellow-tea spirit rice."
"Okay, wait a moment, it's all right away."
Soon, the attendant in the green shirt brought a plate of pickled white radish.
A plate of pickled white radish is only five pieces, only the size of two fingers, and the free stuff is less.
"Hey, Cousin Changsheng, you guys are having dinner here too!"
A voice full of joy suddenly rang out.
Wang Changsheng looked along the source of the sound and saw Zhao Ningxiang walking towards him.
Zhao Ningxiang had a strong smile on her face, and two women were following her.
A girl with a green skirt in her eighteen or nineteen years old has a graceful figure, with a snowy skin, and her long black hair to her waist. Another woman is wearing a blue skirt, with a cherry lips, and her skin is like snow. Her black hair is tied into a bun and a blue jade hairpin is inserted, making her look fresh and refined.
"Cousin Ningxiang, what a coincidence! Are you also going to Tianxiangju for dinner?"
Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes! I heard that Tianxiangju's fragrant chicken tastes good, so I want to come and try it." Zhao Ningxiang nodded with a smile, turned his head to say to his two companions, "Cousin Yujiao, why don't we eat it with Cousin Changsheng and the others!"
The woman in the blue skirt smiled and said, "I have no objection. I wonder if the four fellow Taoists oppose it."
Wang Changxue nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone is a relative, so it's okay to sit down and have dinner together. We have just ordered a few dishes, which is definitely not enough. Let's order a few more dishes."
"Since you ordered a few more dishes, let's order a few more!"
Wang Changxue did not refuse, and Lin Yujiao ordered four more dishes.
The seven people sat around a table and it was a bit crowded. The waiter brought an empty table, which made it a little better.
"Let me introduce you to you. These two are Yujiao cousin and Yuyao cousin."
"Wang Changxue."
"Wang Changxing."
"Wang Changyu."
"Wang Changsheng."
Wang Changsheng and the other two successively issued their names, and the two sides had a rough understanding.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, long time no see."
Lin Yuyao looked at the beads on Wang Changsheng's left wrist and said with a smile.
"What? Cousin Yuyao, do you two know each other?"
Zhao Ningxiang blinked and asked curiously.
Wang Changxue and others also showed confusion on their faces. They had never heard Wang Changsheng talk about this.
"I was in Ping'an Town before and went to Qingzhufang City in Pingyang County. I met Fairy Lin and bought this water-gathering droplet with Fairy Lin."
Wang Changsheng shook the water-gathering beads on his wrist and explained.
Everyone suddenly realized, Lin Yujiao smiled and joked: "Jiu Mei, why have you never talked to me about Fellow Daoist Wang?"
"There is nothing to say about this! Fellow Daoist Wang bought something from me. Besides, I celebrated my grandmother's birthday that time. After I got home, didn't I tell you all!"
Zhao Ningxiang smiled and said, "I am destined to meet you thousands of miles away, but I am not destined to meet you on the other side. This is called fate. By the way, Cousin Changxing, don't you need to sell spiritual weapons today? I saw you in the square two days ago!"
"For this Tianhe meeting, the family specially bought a batch of spiritual weapons from Xianyuan City, most of which were sold. The remaining batch of low-quality defensive spiritual weapons could not be sold, so Uncle Six asked us to go to the square to sell them."
Wang Changxing's expression remained unchanged and gave up the reason why Wang Mingzhan made it.
"Yes! We saw that spiritual weapons are so easy to sell, so we bought some materials and wanted to learn how to refine them, but they all ended in failure. Later, Uncle Six comforted us and gave us some spirit stones to have a meal, so we would not come in vain."
Wang Changsheng nodded and agreed.
Zhao Ningxiang suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's it! Cousin Yujiao, I'll just say it! Cousin Changxing and others don't know how to refine weapons, otherwise the Wang family would have sold spiritual weapons in large quantities."
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Wang Changsheng was shocked. As expected, no one had noticed them. Fortunately, Uncle Six took timely remedial measures, hoping that no one would see the flaws.
During the chat, the waiter brought the dishes.
The aroma is so strong that it makes people feel appetite.
The seven people were eating and chatting, talking and laughing, and they were very happy.
"By the way, Cousin Changsheng, tomorrow is the day of the auction. Do you go and participate? I heard that there will be spiritual objects that assist in foundation building appear this time, and I don't know whose hands will fall on."
Wang Changsheng looked at Lin Yujiao and asked in a low voice: "Fairy Lin, I heard that the spiritual objects were taken out by your Lin family. Do you know what they are?"
Lin Yujiao hesitated for a moment and said, "It is purple jade spiritual water. It is said that it is made of a variety of third-level spiritual medicines. Taking this spiritual water when impacting the foundation building can increase the chance of foundation building by 30%.
"The probability of increasing 30%? So high?"
Wang Changsheng was very surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, your Lin family is willing to take out such a good thing for auction?"
Wang Changxue said in confusion.
"The real purple jade spirit water can increase the chance of foundation building by 30%, but the auction seems to be diluted purple jade spirit water. It is good to increase the chance of foundation building by 10%. How could our Lin family take out the chance of auctioning the undiluted purple jade spirit water? We are not so generous yet."
After hearing this explanation, Wang Changsheng and the other two suddenly realized.
Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "Yes! The road is three thousand, and the side doors are eight hundred. There are many ways to build foundations, but the safest way is to take foundation building pills. Unfortunately, the foundation building pills are controlled by the immortal cultivation sect and will not flow out easily. Occasionally, a few foundation building pills are leaked, which immediately causes robbery from many forces. Every time they fight for the foundation building pills, we fight for the foundation building pills. It's okay for us to come from the immortal cultivation family. If we have good qualifications, the family will provide resources to help build foundations. Those casual cultivators do not have such good treatment. Everything depends on themselves. A few years ago, some casual cultivators changed their magical skills to practice the magical martial arts in order to enter the foundation building phase. Later, they were discovered by Zixiao Sect and sent elite disciples to kill this person. The body was hung in Xianyuan City to warn other casual cultivators."
