Chapter 155: Yao Lao: If these were given to me, I could take off immediately (Second Update)

Inside the gourmet shop.

"Phew, I slept so soundly last night!"

Su Mu’s figure slowly walked down from the second floor. After washing up, he prepared to make some breakfast.

Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw the skull bone staff he had picked up yesterday lying on the floor.

"Huh, it was placed perfectly fine yesterday, how did it fall?"

Su Mu didn't think much of it, slowly bent down, and picked up the skull bone staff.

"Tsk tsk, how did it get broken?"

Looking at the faint, almost imperceptible crack that had appeared on the skull bone staff, Su Mu couldn't help but click his tongue.

Fortunately, this thing wasn't worth anything.

It was just a piece of trashy, non-mainstream decoration.

And it was left behind by a group of scammers, anyway.

He would just take it back for Huang Shaotian and the others today.

Thinking of this, Su Mu placed the skull bone staff on the table and walked toward the kitchen.

And the moment Su Mu put the bone staff down, the weak soul inside the staff curled up even further into a corner.

What happened last night was simply too terrifying!

An entire night, a whole night—do you know how he spent it?

Even thinking about it now, he felt a pang of heartache.

This place was too terrifying; he wanted to run, but he couldn't escape!

No, I must find an opportunity to let that bastard, the God of Ruin, come and fish me out!

Life here is simply not meant for humans.

And just as the skull bone staff was silently weeping in the corner, outside the shop door.

"Shopkeeper, we’ve come to disturb you again!"

Outside the shop, Huang Shaotian and Ling Shuangxue walked in.

Ever since they brought the group from the Cult of Ruin back yesterday, the two had been interrogating them all night.

Unfortunately, the four believers had already lost their minds.

Only the High Priest had a tougher life, but he didn't hold out for long either.

It seemed that once his faith shattered, he confessed everything he was supposed to, and then he kicked the bucket.

They had arrived early this morning.

First, it was to inquire about the whereabouts of the demigod-level eerie object the High Priest had mentioned yesterday.

The second, and most important reason, was to taste the gourmet food.

As the number of their visits increased, their strength had also improved to varying degrees.

Ever since her faith statue was reshaped, Ling Shuangxue’s strength had stepped directly into the realm of a Tier 6 Fanatic.

With the support of the gourmet food over these past few days, her cultivation base had also been progressing bit by bit.

She had now reached the level of a Tier 7 Fanatic!

As for Huang Shaotian on the side, although his statue hadn't shattered, his War God faith statue had also improved to the level of a Tier 4 Fanatic.

Such strength could already be considered among the strong in humanity.

However, even so, the two kept it a secret, serving as monitors here in Tianlu City!

"Sister Ling, that, that is!"

Finding a place to sit, Huang Shaotian had just finished ordering when he noticed the skull bone staff on the table.

Even though they were shrouded by the pressure of the gourmet food, the two could still sense an ominous, eerie aura coming from it.

"Stay calm!"

Seeing Huang Shaotian about to make a move, Ling Shuangxue pressed him down and glared at him fiercely.

Are you crazy?

That is a Tier 8 demigod-level pollutant!

Is that something a Tier 6 Fanatic like you can touch?

Sensing the reprimand in Ling Shuangxue’s eyes, Huang Shaotian suddenly came to his senses.

Just now, the moment he saw the skull bone staff, the eerie aura it carried had influenced him involuntarily.

With Ling Shuangxue’s reminder, Huang Shaotian finally snapped out of it.

It was too dangerous just now; if he had really touched it, he would probably have been polluted by now!

Thinking of this, Huang Shaotian couldn't help but shake his head.

Meanwhile, inside the skull bone staff, the skull spirit curled up in the corner cried once more.

So close, it was just so close!

You should have touched it; that way, it could have left this place.

But with the suppression of the gourmet shop, he had no way to succeed.

Thinking of his future life, the skull bone staff felt that everything had gone dim.

Just as the skull bone staff gave up, a long line had formed in the gourmet shop at the right time.

"Good heavens, you guys came so early!"

Yue Buqun, who entered first, saw Ling Shuangxue and her companion already seated and spoke up immediately.

Forget it, there are so many people in the shop today; it looks like those who come later won't even have seats!

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun, being the first, ordered his meal and sat down with Ning Zhongze.

And following Yue Buqun’s arrival, Stark, Zhu Qizhen, Ying Zheng, Tang San, Lin Dong, and others arrived one after another.

As the early arrivals grabbed the seats, those who came later could only share tables with each other.

"Hurry, hurry, there are no seats left!"

Just as everyone sat down, outside the shop, Xiao Yan hurried in with Yao Lao.

Once inside, seeing the nearly full shop, he had no choice but to share a table with Yao Lao, Yue Buqun, and the others.

"Is this the gourmet shop?"

Upon arriving, Yao Lao looked around as if he had never seen the world before.

Seeing this behavior, Xiao Yan, who was beside him, covered his face.

With you acting like this, you have the nerve to say you are a Dou Zun?

You aren't trying to set me up, are you!

For a moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

And just as Xiao Yan was covering his face, Yue Buqun opposite him became interested.

"You must be Yao Lao, I have long admired your name!"

As the Gentleman Sword, Yue Buqun took the lead in greeting him.

He naturally knew of Yao Lao through Xiao Yan’s screenshots.

However, this did not prevent Yue Buqun from knowing that he was an alchemist.

"I heard from young friend Xiao that your alchemy has made some progress?"

Since there was an opportunity to ask in person about the elixirs, Yue Buqun naturally had to ask.

In an instant, as Yue Buqun’s question was asked, everyone’s gaze turned toward them.

The matter of elixirs was related to the effectiveness of the upcoming gourmet food!

Yao Lao, suddenly being watched by everyone, gave a light cough.

"There is progress, but it is slow!"

He said with a hint of embarrassment; although Yao Lao’s experience in alchemy remained, his cultivation base was gone.

High-level elixirs involved lightning tribulations and had certain requirements for cultivation, so he couldn't refine them at all right now.

However, now that he had this gourmet food, he, Yao Lao, had confidence.

He would definitely be able to recover his strength quickly, and by then, high-level elixirs could absolutely be eaten like candy.

And just as Yao Lao was daydreaming about the future, at the shop entrance, Luo Shiyi hurried over.

"Everyone, please help me!"

Luo Shiyi’s expression was slightly urgent; as soon as he found a seat, he couldn't wait to say to everyone.

Back on Changliu Mountain, there were still people waiting for him to return to save their lives!

He couldn't afford to delay for even a moment!

And following Luo Shiyi’s words, everyone brought their gourmet food over.

In an instant, Luo Shiyi’s table was piled full.

Such a scene left Yao Lao completely stunned!

My goodness, if these were given to me, I could take off immediately!
