Chapter 55 Cultivation
Shen Yao stood up, and Xianyu and Baisong followed suit.
The manager assumed they were leaving, which was expected, and he wasn't angry. He gestured for them to leave.
Shen Yao said, "Let's pay here, there's no room at your counter."
As she spoke, Shen Yao waved her hand, and a pile of cotton bags appeared on the floor of the VIP area on the second floor.
Shen Yao put away the three communication tokens on the tray and said to the shopkeeper, "Ninety thousand Perfect Stone Coins, forty-five bags, two thousand in each bag. Once you've counted them, we're leaving."
Bai Song felt a pang of pain in his heart. Although he knew that his sister was already the richest person in the world, he still couldn't get used to her extravagant spending.
Every time his sister swiped her Ten Coins, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The steward was dumbfounded. In all his years, he had never seen an ordinary cultivator spend 30,000 Ten-Coins to buy a single communication token! And he bought three at once!
The person in charge has certainly learned a lot.
But the manager was, after all, the manager of a large city and a large shop, and he quickly came to his senses.
I used my spiritual sense to investigate, and it was indeed 90,000 Perfect Stones.
The steward's attitude was now respectful, no longer as dismissive as before. He greeted her, "Please sit for a while, fairy." He then called to the servants downstairs, "Abao, quickly, bring a pot of good tea!"
Shen Yao was in a hurry to go back for dinner, and she figured Xianyu and her brother must be hungry too, so she declined his offer: "Immortal Master, no need, we still have companions at the guesthouse, so we won't have any tea."
The steward said, "Then I will escort the fairy back."
Shen Yao: "No need, no need. We're just at the East City Inn, it's only a few steps away. We won't trouble you, Immortal Master."
The steward said, "In that case, after you return, Fairy, remember to use your spiritual power to activate the runes on the communication token. Once the runes of the magical treasure made by Immortal Saint Fengxu are activated, only the owner can use it. Otherwise, it will just be a decoration."
This is great, it even has privacy protection. The 90,000 Perfect Coins were definitely worth it.
Having successfully purchased the desired communication token, Shen Yao was overjoyed. She happily bowed to the steward and said goodbye, "Thank you for informing us, Immortal Master. We'll head back now. Goodbye."
"Please take care, fairies." The steward returned the greeting and politely escorted them to the door.
After seeing the fairy off, the steward returned to the second floor with a smile. When he passed the servant who had been receiving Shen Yao, the servant thought he was going to be scolded and lowered his head, trying to make his presence known.
The steward initially didn't intend to pay him any attention, but seeing him with his head down and cowering to one side, the steward couldn't help but criticize him a few times before happily going upstairs.
Seeing the bags all over the floor, the manager called the shop assistants to come and collect them.
The shopkeeper took a storage token engraved with 'Feng Yu', ran upstairs, used his spiritual power to check it, put the forty-five bags into the storage token, and then ran back downstairs.
The steward sat in the VIP seat, asked Ah Bao to serve him tea, and then took out his communication token and began sending a message to Feng Xuan.
Back in their inn room, Shen Yao and Xianyu used their spiritual power to activate the communication rune. A line of small characters emerged from the rune and entered Shen Yao and Xianyu's soul cores respectively.
Shen Yao's nickname is: Sun and Moon Shine Together; Xianyu's nickname is: Koi Playing in the Water.
The two sisters studied it for a while longer, then compared the communication tokens, and Lingbao automatically exchanged information.
Xianyu immediately sent a message to Shen Yao.
Xianyu used his spiritual power to activate the communication token, which then emitted a light screen. The light screen was one foot long and half a foot wide, displaying the two characters "Shen Yao".
Xianyu tapped Shen Yao's name and used his spiritual power to write, "I am Yuyu." After writing, he used his spiritual power to retract the communication token from the light screen.
As soon as the light screen retracted, Shen Yao's communication token lit up. Shen Yao used her spiritual power to bring the light screen out, and sure enough, four words floated on it: I am Yu Yu.
The two sisters enjoyed themselves for a while longer before going to find Bai Song and Zhao Bin.
Bai Song had already sent a message to Wan Li, and Wan Li and Lan Ying were waiting for them at Qifeng Pavilion.
After exchanging tokens with each other, everyone went to Xiangyuan for dinner.
As previously announced, a spirited female immortal of the seventh rank and four spiritual roots has arrived, accompanied by her sister and four attendants. If she comes to Xiangyuan for a meal, she must not be neglected.
As soon as the small team entered, the manager personally led them to a private room and, after seating them, presented a menu for Shen Yao to order.
Shen Yao glanced at the menu and thought it looked quite good, so she handed it back to the manager: "Eighteen dishes, large portion of Pearl Delight. You can decide what to serve, pick the best ones."
The manager smiled and agreed, then immediately went to make the arrangements.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, as they were leaving, they passed by the counter and saw a middle-aged male cultivator dressed in a crimson brocade robe. He had a fierce face and did not look like a benevolent immortal.
Beside the middle-aged male cultivator stood two young male cultivators dressed in light purple brocade robes, presumably his disciples.
The male cultivator, who looked fierce, asked the two disciples, "Why didn't Chu Yun come?"
One of the disciples, who looked rather unruly, said, "Father, why bother with him? He's probably hiding somewhere eating bran cakes."
The middle-aged male cultivator glared at his son and said to another disciple, "He Chen, go and call your Senior Brother Chu here quickly."
He Chen was about to accept the order when he heard the unruly male cultivator roar, "You're not allowed to go! Father, isn't it enough that you're teaching him cultivation techniques? Do you also want to raise him?"
The middle-aged male cultivator was furious and shouted, "Shut up!" He then waved to He Chen, "Go now!"
He Chen turned and ran, running very fast, and suddenly he was in front of Shen Suyao.
Watching He Chen's retreating figure, Shen Yao thought to herself, "This fierce-looking uncle doesn't seem like a good person. He's actually quite caring towards his disciple. That menacing face must be because of his unfilial son."
Back in the viewing room, everyone began cultivating. Shen Yao shared her divine-level spirit restoration technique with the team to make it easier for them to travel in the future.
The other five cultivators were all practicing the divine-level Spirit Recovery Technique, while Shen Yao began practicing the divine-level Body Tempering Technique.
She had already achieved some success with her divine-level body tempering technique, and now that she had reached the seventh grade with four spiritual roots, she clearly felt that she was cultivating much faster than before.
Body tempering techniques are painful to practice, and divine-level body tempering techniques are even more painful.
Shen Yao sat in meditation under the phoenix tree in the garden, channeling her spiritual energy from her spiritual root. After circulating the energy within her body forty-nine times, she used a divine-level body tempering technique to transform the surrounding spiritual energy into countless tiny needles.
The countless needles kept piercing her body, penetrating her skin and then her internal organs.
One must continue practicing each level of the technique until the pain in the body turns into comfort before moving on to the next level.
Time flies when you're cultivating; two hours passed quickly.
Shen Yao was covered in sweat and habitually used a cleansing spell, but she still felt uncomfortable all over.
I miss the Fairy Bathing Pool in Lishui County so much!
"The steward even gave me a plaque back then."
Shen Yao found the wooden plaque in her storage ring. She had never seen the material of the plaque before and could not recognize it. It did not look like ordinary wood.
The wooden plaque is engraved with a beautiful landscape painting, and in the center are three characters: "Fairy Bathing Pool". On the back of the plaque, in the lower right corner, is the character "Zhang".
Shen Yao remembered that the manager of the Immortal Bath Pool was named Zhang Mo. She figured that the character 'Zhang' was the manager's surname, which meant that the wooden plaque was a gift from Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo once said that Immortal Wood City also has an Immortal Bathing Pool, but he wondered if Qiwu City had one.
Even if there is no fairy bath, there should be other baths.
Thinking of this, Shen Yao decided that after dinner, she would take everyone to the hot spring!
