Chapter 161 - 110: Why Do These Spirit Stones Run Out So Quickly 1
Eventually, Luo Chen developed a milk tea recipe that immortals could accept in the Immortal Cultivation World.
The main ingredient was milk from Fu Zhu Deer, combined with tea soup made from the foam of hundred-year-old Spirit Tea Trees and several other medicinal ingredients to suppress the gamey taste of the animal milk.
The combination resulted in a Fu Zhu Milk Tea that had a rich milky aroma but a slightly light taste.
After the milk tea was prepared, Feng Xia, Luo Chen, and even the
battle-hardened Dong Fangliang were forced to try it.
They all found it pretty good after tasting it.
It contained a tiny bit of Spirit Power. Even after repeated consumption, it would not cause gut discomfort.
As a leisurely drink, it was no worse than common Spirit Tea and Spirit Wine.
Once the recipe was successful, the next steps became relatively straightforward.
For the milk, they would have to order from the Beast Hall of the Broken Mountain Gang.
The tea soup would have to rely on those hundred-year-old Spirit Tea Trees found by the Medicine Hall in the Ancient Plains Mountain Range.
Hundred-year-old Spirit Tea Trees might sound impressive at first,
But in reality, in the Eastern Wilderness Immortal World, they were the least valuable. The truly valued Spirit Tea Trees had ages starting from thousands to tens of thousands of years.
The few Spirit Tea Trees were usually exploited by some poor rogue cultivators from the Broken Mountain Gang, who would pick some tea leaves for their own consumption when they had nothing to do.
The Spirit Power in the milk tea primarily came from a specific medicinal ingredient in Luo Chen’s recipe.
With the milk and tea soup solved, the only things left were the other medicinal ingredients in the recipe.
This time, they couldn’t skimp on them from the Pill Hall.
The quantity was too big; they needed to purchase separately.
In this regard, Feng Xia was more experienced than anyone else because she was from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
“Set up a stall in a few days, and I’ll get Yuan Xiaoyue to help you,” she said.
“This Fu Zhu Milk Tea is a hot tea. It requires frequent use of the Fireball Technique for heating. Sister Xia, are you confident about your mastery of the Fireball Technique?” Lu Chen asked.
Feng Xia nodded confidently. She started as a medicine tester and later turned into a helper who deals with medicinal ingredients.
Dealing with high temperature treatments of certain medicinal ingredients was basically entrusted to their manual Fireball Technique.
She was very confident in her control of the potency of the Fireball Technique.
“Do you know how to brew tea soup?”
“No problem. When there were no customers, Xiao Ling and I would accompany Boss Liu for tea to pass the time,” she replied in a husky voice.
Luo Chen gave a hum, and after a moment of thought, said, “Make your movements more flamboyant when the time comes, to attract as much attention from passing customers as possible.”
After sizing up Feng Xia, he added, “Also, you have to change your style of dress.”
“Hmm, how should I change it?” Feng Xia asked.
You dress too plainly now. You need to learn a bit from Sister Caiyi.”
Feng Xia was stunned for a moment, recalling Gu Caiyi’s usual dress style, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Truth be told, although Feng Xia was average looking, her figure was extremely attractive.
However, she usually dressed too conservatively, hiding her unique advantages under her drab Daoist robe.
Luo Chen hadn’t noticed this previously.
But now, his Divine Power had fully matured!
With the Spirit Vision Technique ingrained in his eyes, he noticed the subtlety unintentionally.
“Everything is for business and for earning Spirit Stones for cultivation!”
Fearing that she wouldn’t understand, Luo Chen specifically comforted her.
Feng Xia stirred slightly and gave a soft hum in response.
Hearing her hoarse voice, Luo Chen frowned subconsciously.
Doing business and running advertisements always required shouting, which was always a significant part of it.
But Sister Xia’s voice?
“Is anyone good at singing?” Luo Chen asked suddenly.
Gu Caiyi was rubbing her fair wrists. Luo Chen hadn’t gone to the Pill Hall that day, so she had to manage many general matters. She’d even gotten her hands dirty and was a bit tired.
Facing Luo Chen’s question, she answered without hesitation:
“A lot. There were many sisters who sung beautifully in Heaven Sound
Building, which was next to our Feathers Clothes Building.”
“What’s the matter? Now that you have Spirit Stones, you want to enjoy yourself?”
Luo Chen waved his hand, “Go away! Your mind is full of dirty thoughts.”
“Pooh!”
“Could you help me invite a sister with a sweet voice and a good understanding
of music? I have a big business deal for her.”
“How big?”
Four or five…ten Spirit Stones!” Luo Chen clenched his teeth, “I can’t go any higher, even landlords can’t spend recklessly.”
The tea leaves would cost a few Spirit Stones, but the animal milk and medicinal materials accounted for a major portion of the expenditure.
To set up his milk tea shop, he had to make a significant initial investment.
There must be around a hundred Spirit Stones!
Gu Caiyi agreed to find the singer, laughing. It had been a while since she saw
Luo Chen acting in this miserly manner.
That said, it was quite cute!
The truth is, when rich men are stingy, it’s seen as being frugal and a virtue, making every action adorable.
But when poor men are stingy, that’s just being really stingy.
When did the morals of the Immortal Cultivation World become so bad!
The next day, through his bodyguard Zhou Yuanli, Luo Chen arranged to meet
with Ke Yuelin, the Hall Master of the Beast Hall.
The meeting was held in a small bar in the Inner City. This newly opened bar was located at the White Stone Plaza, serving viewers or participants of the Dao Debate Platform.
At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was rather tense.
Ke Yuelin has completely parted ways with Qin Liangchen and his wife and wholeheartedly followed Mi Shuhua.
Otherwise, Luo Chen wouldn’t have asked Zhou Yuanli to arrange the meeting.
He could directly invite him to his home through Qin Liangchen.
After the meeting, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
“Doing business with you for five hundred Spirit Stones a month, I’m really at a loss. But considering you’re brother Liangchen’s junior, I’ll bear it,” Ke Yuelin said, smiling.
“Pay a deposit first!”
Ke Yuelin’s face was full of smiles.
Luo Chen cursed under his breath. The Fu Zhu Deer’s meat was valuable, but their milk was not..
