Chapter 220: Food Fragrance Master, three fragrances and four flavors

~15 min read 2,803 words

"Do you know where the places to rent caves are in this city?"

He didn't ask "if there are any."

He asked directly where they were.

This is normal; Tianlan Immortal City is such a majestic giant city, known for gathering a million cultivators.

There must be places suitable for cultivation.

And such places, without accident, must be jointly controlled by the seven major sects.

But Tianlan Immortal City is not the sect's holy land, so those places with abundant spiritual energy being left empty would be a waste.

Therefore, "renting" is undoubtedly the most suitable way to handle it.

Xu Xiaoliu was not surprised.

He immediately said, "I know this, does Senior want to go see it now?"

Luo Chen looked back; the inn Xu Xiaoliu helped find was indeed good and cheap.

Settling over a hundred people was more than enough.

Currently, most of the Luotian Society cultivators had been arranged.

The Nangong family had also been arranged.

Only on the Li family side, Li Yixian's face was flushed, and she was alone in front of the boss, saying something.

Xu Xiaoliu saw this and said with a bitter smile, "This is not my fault; this is already the cheapest inn in the city. Living here for ten days only costs five spirit stones, and it includes a free meal of spirit rice."

"Senior Li's side also has many people, so they might not be able to afford this expense!"

Luo Chen remained silent.

He knew the situation of the Li family.

The foundation, relatively speaking, was still okay.

But Li Yixian, in order to deal with danger, spent a large price to buy a low-grade magic treasure, emptying half of the family's foundation.

The remaining spirit stones should not be many.

But now, since coming to Tianlan Immortal City, spirit stones have been flowing out like water.

Even if she doesn't manage things, she knows that if this continues, sooner or later they will sit and eat until the mountain is empty.

She doesn't know what to do for opening sources.

But throttling is already underway.

It's just that she grew up in the care of the family since childhood and only knew cultivation.

Facing this kind of secular bargaining, she was not good at it.

After talking for a while, she instead made the boss impatient.

Even Li Ao on the side had a flushed face, looking exactly like a parent bargaining for something, and the child on the side feeling embarrassed.

In the end, the bargaining failed.

They could only accept the price proposed by the boss and arrange all the Li family members in.

Only in this way, they had to pay out hundreds of spirit stones again.

Li Yixian naturally knew that this scene of hers was watched by many people.

But...

"Let Fellow Daoist laugh at me." Li Yixian said to Luo Chen with a bitter smile.

Luo Chen shook his head, showing no trace of mockery.

On the contrary, he admired her spirit of being able to lower her face.

When a person is humble, face is often the least valuable thing.

He had also once been like a nagging woman at a street vendor, grinding prices with people for half a spirit stone.

As Nangong Jin came over, Luo Chen said directly,

"I plan to go see the cave, do you want to go together?"

"Cave?"

"A place with Tier 2 spiritual veins?"

Facing the gazes of the two, Luo Chen nodded.

Nangong Jin immediately said, "Naturally, we must go together!"

Li Yixian thought for a while and gritted her teeth, "Let's go see it!"

However, before planning to leave, she turned her head and sent a voice transmission to Li Ao.

At the inn entrance, Li Ao, who was planning to go out for a stroll, heard the voice transmission, and his face instantly turned into a bitter gourd.

This was asking him to stay at the inn and look after the clansmen.

And on the Luotian Society side, under Sima Huiniang's presiding, the rules had long been issued.

The first day, going out is prohibited, everyone should rest well.

Starting from the second day, they will send people out in batches to familiarize themselves with Tianlan Immortal City.

Moreover, it's not just wandering around randomly.

It must be done cautiously and safely under the guidance of Xu Xiaoliu, their guide.

"The car is here!"

Under a pavilion, Xu Xiaoliu jumped out and waved his hands violently outside.

After a variegated giant tiger stopped, Xu Xiaoliu turned his head back.

"Three Seniors, get in the car!"

Luo Chen looked at this giant tiger car and showed a look of surprise.

Unlike the fully enclosed type of the python car, the car in front of him was actually open. Sitting on it, one could see the scenery outside the car at a glance.

It's just that the seats were scarce, only able to accommodate a dozen people.

At this moment, the passengers on it were curiously looking at the three of them.

Without hesitation, after paying two spirit stones, Luo Chen got on the car.

Xu Xiaoliu was in the back row, wiping the soft chair with his sleeve.

"Senior, sit here!"

"Hmm, thank you."

Luo Chen sat down, and Li Yixian and Nangong Jin also sat in the same row.

"The Ice Lan Palace we are going to is quite far from Yuelu Street, and only two shifts of cars go there. This giant tiger car is one of them."

Listening to Xu Xiaoliu's words, Luo Chen asked curiously,

"Why are the cars in Tianlan Immortal City not of a unified style?"

Xu Xiaoliu scratched his head, "I don't know about this."

"How many such cars are there in Tianlan Immortal City?"

"This, I know! Five beast cars, two python cars, and three giant tiger cars; these are puppet cars from the Luoyun Sect. In addition, there are three Flowing Cloud Long Cars launched by the Yan Alliance, and two Iron Mountain Seats from Mount Ailao."

Luo Chen was stunned, then rubbed his smooth chin and thought deeply.

This means that the transportation business of Tianlan Immortal City is currently controlled by these three sects.

It seems the ticket price is not expensive, but after many trips every day, the spirit stones harvested will be a huge income.

The corner of his eye glanced at the other two people traveling together.

Nangong Jin closed his eyes to rest, seemingly uninterested in anything outside.

But Luo Chen knew he had been seriously injured before.

What he needed most now was a safe and spirit-rich spiritual land to recover from his injuries.

Li Yixian looked out the window, her eyes shining with brilliance, and her face occasionally showed surprise.

This vivid appearance was exactly like a little girl coming to a big city.

It was completely different from the clan head who was haggling with the boss at the inn before.

Perhaps, this is the real her.

At this time, Luo Chen also paid attention to the scenery outside the car.

Especially those high-rise buildings and shops.

"So many magic clothes?"

"Senior, that is the Feather Clothing Building, specializing in selling magic clothes, especially for female cultivators. Behind it is the Chen family of the Heavenly Clothing Workshop."

"The Chen family of the Heavenly Clothing Workshop?"

"Yes, that is an immortal cultivation family. There are three Foundation Establishment True Persons inside, and they have a close relationship with the Ice Fortress, and they are close to Tianlan Immortal City. Therefore, they can open this Feather Clothing Building in a prime location."

Luo Chen realized.

This kind of immortal cultivation family is very similar to the Huo family and the Duan family, both of which are somewhat related to the Yan Alliance or the Luoyun Sect.

It's just that the strength of the Chen family of the Heavenly Clothing Workshop is not comparable to the two.

His gaze fell on a building, and faintly, a pungent but refreshing fragrance drifted over.

"What is this sold for?"

"Food Fragrance Pavilion, a force specializing in researching various exotic fragrances; their three fragrances and four flavors are very popular among cultivators."

"Three fragrances and four flavors?"

"Three fragrances are three types of fragrances: Soul-Summoning Fragrance, Fierce God Fragrance, and Exotic Body Fragrance."

Luo Chen became interested.

"What are these three fragrances used for, and why are they widely welcomed by cultivators?"

Li Yixian, who was browsing the scenery of the immortal city on the side, also listened curiously.

Even Nangong Jin opened his eyes.

Being stared at by three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, even though Xu Xiaoliu had a thick skin, he felt some pressure.

He calmed down and explained carefully, "Soul-Summoning Fragrance, as the name suggests, can summon souls."

"Generally speaking, after a cultivator dies, if they don't reach the Nascent Soul stage, their divine soul will dissipate in the external environment."

Luo Chen nodded.

This is common knowledge in the immortal cultivation world.

Once a cultivator dies, their soul will return to the Nine Netherworlds and fall into reincarnation again.

Only after the Nascent Soul stage can one barely jump out of this shackle, forming a pattern where the divine soul does not perish and the person does not die.

Other than that, it is a special environment for death in battle.

Like the battle in Dahe Square, because three ghost kings were destroyed at the same time, dyeing a place into a ghost domain.

Cultivators who died in the ghost domain, restricted by the special environment, their souls would instead transform into yin souls and fierce ghosts, surviving in the world.

"But if you have Soul-Summoning Fragrance in hand, ignite this fragrance with your own blood, there is a great chance to summon the soul related to your own bloodline, or a soul with a deep connection."

"Generally speaking, it is family cultivators who will buy this fragrance."

"If a clansman dies in battle, they ignite this fragrance, and with the same source bloodline, bring the soul of the fallen back to the family spiritual land, letting it dissipate."

"In this way, there is a great chance that the cultivator will be reincarnated into the family in the future."

"If they have deep blessings, they might even awaken part of their previous life's memories!"

After speaking, Xu Xiaoliu couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Nangong Jin showed excitement, "Is there really such a divine effect?"

He pursed his lips and said, "I only heard it from hearsay; for the specific situation, the Seniors have to go into the shop and ask themselves."

Nangong Jin turned his head and took a deep look at where the Food Fragrance Pavilion was.

It was as if he wanted to remember this shop in his mind.

Xu Xiaoliu looked at Luo Chen and saw him nod.

So, he continued,

"Fierce God Fragrance, I am very sure about this one."

"This is a cultivation auxiliary resource similar to Soul-Calming Fragrance."

"It's just that, unlike the neutral and peaceful ones in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion. The medicinal effect of Fierce God Fragrance is very fierce; only those with a sufficiently deep divine soul foundation can use it."

"Generally speaking, it is late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who will buy this."

A cultivation auxiliary resource similar to Soul-Calming Fragrance?

Luo Chen muttered this sentence, planning to find time to go see it.

He considered his divine soul foundation not weak, far exceeding his peers.

It's just that he didn't know if he could compare to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and if he could use Fierce God Fragrance.

"Exotic Body Fragrance is simple, it has nothing to do with cultivation. It's just a kind of thing that produces the most compatible fragrance according to the cultivator's physique after use."

"Female cultivators are the main buyers."

"It is said that the body fragrance produced can linger for months!"

Li Yixian's eyes lit up.

Then, as if thinking of something, she dimmed again.

"Three fragrances and four flavors, the three fragrances have been said. The four flavors refer to sour, sweet, bitter, spicy..."

"Although most are not cultivation items, because of their special effects, the things in the Food Fragrance Pavilion are very popular in Tianlan Immortal City."

Xu Xiaoliu made a concluding statement.

After Luo Chen and the three heard this, they were all very interested.

These things were not something they could come into contact with in a remote place like Dahe Square.

Among them, the three were all very interested and wanted to get a look.

Not to mention anything else, just the Soul-Summoning Fragrance was already on the must-buy list of Li Yixian and Nangong Jin!

Luo Chen asked curiously, "Listening to you say this, the Food Fragrance Pavilion's business is extremely good, earning hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year. Is it possible that no one is jealous?"

The jealousy he mentioned refers to encroachment, plunder, imitation, competition, etc.

Such things are not uncommon.

Take himself as an example.

Because the profit of pills is extremely high, just in the mid-grade Jade Marrow Pill period, he could earn over a hundred thousand in a year.

Because of this, almost most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Dahe Square were extremely covetous.

It doesn't make sense that the Food Fragrance Pavilion is even more so, yet it can still do business well.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoliu just smiled.

"Who would dare!"

"No one dares."

"The Food Fragrance Pavilion is the industry of the Food Fragrance Master."

Master!

Luo Chen's expression tightened.

Under Xu Xiaoliu's explanation, he learned that the Food Fragrance Pavilion was the private industry of a Core Formation Elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

That was an extremely powerful female cultivator, with the Daoist name Food Fragrance Master.

In the entire Yuding Domain, except for the current two Nascent Soul True Persons, most had to give her some face.

Next, as the giant tiger car moved forward, Luo Chen and the others saw more and more different existences.

Among them were industries of Nascent Soul major sects like the Ten Thousand Treasure Building and the Spirit Medicine Pavilion!

It's just that, unlike those shops specializing in one kind of resource before.

The Ten Thousand Treasure Building and Spirit Medicine Pavilion in Tianlan Immortal City were undoubtedly behemoth-like existences!

Just the shop building was a high-rise building covering several acres!

Luo Chen compared them, and the conclusion was

The Feather Clothing Building and Food Fragrance Pavilion were like specialty stores, only selling a certain "single" resource.

While the Ten Thousand Treasure Building and Spirit Medicine Pavilion belonged to that kind of comprehensive supermarket, which was not limited to a certain special resource.

If a cultivator has special needs, they will naturally choose a specialty store.

And if not, just wanting to choose something relatively suitable for themselves, they will go to the supermarket to browse, look, and buy.

A question floated in the hearts of the three.

"If I want to take root in Tianlan Immortal City, what will I make a living with?"

Nangong Jin was neither sad nor happy; their family only had a dozen people left, which was easy to arrange.

If it really doesn't work, arrange for the clansmen to find some work to do, and temporarily live on.

Li Yixian's face was extremely dark.

What the Li family is best at is undoubtedly raising spirit beasts.

But this kind of business, along the way, Tianlan Immortal City already had several doing it.

Selling demonic beast meat, doing demonic beast fur business, and even selling young spirit beasts directly.

And Luo Chen, the expression on his face was hesitation, hesitation.

There was no wandering or confusion.

He was good at alchemy, and he had many Luotian Society cultivators under his command to drive.

If he practiced alchemy on a large scale, supporting himself would definitely not be a problem.

The only thing that made him hesitate was what kind of pills to sell!

After all, he hadn't done market research.

Whether the most handy Jade Marrow Pill was popular in Tianlan Immortal City was an unknown.

"After going back, I have to let Huiniang go and ask."

Only after doing good research and developing in a targeted manner can he avoid losing his shirt.

While the three were thinking about their own things, time passed quickly.

The giant tiger puppet car had passed through most of the city and arrived in front of a white palace.

Xu Xiaoliu jumped off the car.

"Senior, Ice Lan Palace is here!"

Getting off the car, looking up at this ice palace that exuded a cold chill and was built of thousand-year ice, Luo Chen slightly tidied his clothes.

Then, he stepped in.
