Chapter 972 – News from the Teahouse
Chapter 972 – Teahouse News
On the second day, Gong Lao sobered up, recalled last night’s words, only to feel the face hot.
These grievances and dissatisfaction in his heart buried for too long, do not want to drink a few more yesterday, but also a few more immortal wine, but will say all the words in his heart.
Fortunately, when he saw Xu Chuniang again, the other party did not mention last night’s events, so he pretended not to know, as if those things had never happened.
“Since you’re interested in going to the fighting arena, when do you plan to go?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, the Immortal Qi in her body had only recovered less than one-tenth of it, going now would definitely not work.
“Next time, today I would like to go around the city and find out some news, I wonder where is the most well-informed place in this Floating Jade City?”
Gong Lao pondered for a moment, “The major teahouses and restaurants in the city have many Immortals from all over ZongDongTian, there, one can often learn about the latest news from other places, but these news are often half true and half false, and need to be carefully screened.
There are also some specialized news brokers who buy and sell news, and have quite a lot of news, but their asking price is very expensive, and some important news can even be sold for hundreds of Immortal Crystals.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t have many immortal crystals on her, so she planned to go to a teahouse to try her luck, she listened to Gong Lao’s advice and went to the best located Fusheng teahouse.
This Fusheng teahouse in the floating jade city is also a famous place, the shopkeeper Guo Fusheng is a failed to cross the tribulation of the loose immortal, he has been trying for many years, looking for a lot of heavenly materials and treasures, with the body of the loose immortal several times to remodel the immortal body, without exception, all failed.
Later, he was disheartened, came to the floating jade city, in this place to find the most remote corner opened a teahouse, every day to muddle through.
But did not want this teahouse business is surprisingly good, one day more than one day red hot up, became the most popular teahouse in this floating jade city.
From then on, this Guo Fusheng will focus on the operation of the teahouse, after accumulating a lot of money, to the three heavens, once again remodeling the immortal body, and finally succeeded.
Now, Guo Fusheng has already achieved the body of a Heavenly Immortal, and the Fusheng Tea House is also spread throughout the entire Zongdang Heaven.
When Xu Chuniang stepped into the teahouse, she was immediately greeted by a young boy, his face piled with smiles.
“Fairy inside please, what kind of tea would you like to drink today?”
In front of her eyes, the boy proved to be a half-immortal, with a cultivation level of no more than the Mahayana Stage, and the half-immortal’s wage was even lower, with a monthly wage of no more than thirty to fifty Immortal Crystals.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the teahouse hall, there were people coming and going in the teahouse, and there were not many empty seats left.
She quickly locked onto a window seat, “Bring me a cup of Bixue Yuntian.”
Before she came, she had already asked Gong Lao, this Bixue Yuntian’s name sounded bluffing, but in reality, it was the cheapest tea in the teahouse, selling for only three Immortal Crystals a piece, even the poorest Immortals could afford it even if they gnashed their teeth.
“Holler, please take a seat, the tea will come soon.”
The boy was not displeased that Xu Chuniang ordered the cheapest tea, and after greeting her and sitting down, he went about his business.
Xu Chuniang sat down at the table, waiting for the tea to be served while listening to the surrounding Immortals chatting away.
“I just came back from Lin Yuan yesterday, and even fought with the Extra-dimensional Heavenly Demon, but unfortunately, there were too many people who traveled to Lin Yuan to hunt down the Extra-dimensional Heavenly Demon to snatch it.”
His companion gave him a strange look and said with a desire to speak.
“Didn’t you hear the news? There are no spatial cracks at all on the Lin Yuan side, and the only few Extra-terrestrial Heavenly Demons that are there were secretly put in there, in order to make people mistakenly think that the space there was torn apart again, and lure the crowds to head to the Lin Yuan so that they can collect the door tickets.” The face of the person who spoke earlier changed, a look of flesh pain and regret on his face, “What, there’s even such a thing? I spent five hundred Immortal Crystals on the door vouchers, wouldn’t I have lost a lot of money?”
His companion shook his head sympathetically, “Right now, other than the Voidmist Sea, there are no Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons anywhere else at all, so grow a heart.”
“Alas, I really didn’t think that a great power sitting in Lin Yuan would be so heartless in order to earn Immortal Crystals, going so far as to release false news to trick us, it’s too much!
That area of the Voidmist Sea is too dangerous, there are often high level Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons that show up there, little human Immortals such as us would be sending our lives away if we went there.”
Xu Chuniang listened for a while, and seeing that the two of them didn’t say any more useful news, she turned her attention to the others.
A loose Immortal excitedly shared the latest news he had gotten, “Hey, have you guys heard? The City Lord’s Mansion is hiring two immortal messengers to guard the gates, and the pay is quite generous, so even Half Immortals and Loose Immortals will be able to go ahead and apply for the job.”
The female Immortal at the neighboring table rolled her eyes and spoke in an unkind tone, “Come on, every time the City Lord’s Mansion recruits, the minimum requirement is written as Half Immortal, but which time has a Half Immortal actually been hired?
What they value are ascendants, and human immortals with certain backgrounds, aborigines like you and me with no identity or background, others simply don’t see eye to eye, not to mention that you’re still just a loose immortal.”
The loose immortal who spoke earlier was a bit snappy, “So what if I’m a loose immortal, as long as I find a heavenly material and remodel my immortal body, I’ll have a chance to regain my true immortal body again!
Back then, the shopkeeper of the Fusheng Tea House was also a loose Immortal, but now he has also become a Heavenly Immortal, right? If he can, why can’t I?”
The female Immortal at the neighboring table laughed coldly, “Oh, you don’t listen to good advice, you really think you’re so special, back in the day, in order to reshape his Immortal body, I don’t know how many Immortal crystals Guo’s boss smashed in.
If you have this financial strength, you can give it a try.”
The disliked loose Immortal immediately stopped talking, remodeling the Immortal body not only cost a lot of Immortal Crystals, but also may not be successful, there was even the risk of the soul flying away.
Like Guo Fusheng, those who had failed to remodel their immortal bodies several times and still managed to retrieve a life were already lucky.
“Guest, your tea is ready, please enjoy.”
The boy brought the tea up, and seeing that Xu Chuniang had no other orders, he went to solicit other guests.
She glanced down at the tea in her cup, this Bixue Yuntian’s tea broth was green, with pure white tea leaves floating above, it did somewhat resemble the clouds floating in the sky.
The hustle and bustle in the teahouse continued, some people bragged about their gains from a certain perilous situation, only to be quickly revealed.
“Liar, I went last time and searched all the corners of the first layer of the tomb, there are quite a few Corpse Kings in Luo Jun’s tomb, but there’s no Corpse King Fungus at all as you said!”
“I’ve also been there, the Corpse Kings inside are very difficult to deal with, unless they are dismantled in large pieces, it’s simply impossible to kill them completely!
And what’s even more tricky is that as long as you are bitten or scratched by them, you will be infected by the Corpse Poison in their bodies and fall into their kind!”
The boasting man’s gaze flickered slightly, “You guys didn’t find the Corpse King Fungus, that’s because you didn’t go deep into the Luo Jun Tomb, I also found it after entering the second layer of the tomb and killing several Corpse Kings in the deepest part.”
“Hehe, at the entrance of the second layer of the tomb, there are a total of hundreds of Corpse Kings guarding there, those Corpse Kings are invulnerable to swords and spears, and are not afraid of water and fire, how on earth did you bypass these hundreds of Corpse Kings and head to the second layer of the tomb?”
