The food festival was held as scheduled.
The entire Food Island was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. To celebrate, the Food Island officials offered free food coupons to food houses below three stars for three days, and opened a food street where food from every stall could be tasted for free once.
Various food houses also responded to the event and offered discounts of varying degrees.
Chen Lin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many powerful people from all races gathered here. It turned out that there was such a benefit.
Naturally, he couldn't miss such an opportunity. After tasting all the food in the food street, he started to consume in each restaurant one by one.
While the magic coins were shrinking rapidly, he also experienced all kinds of wonderful food, which made him sincerely admire the uniqueness of the world and have infinite expectations for the future.
Moreover, the food in each gourmet shop has different effects, some of which are incredible.
After spending some time there, he gained a certain understanding of the food houses here. If he wants to improve his abilities in a certain area in the future, he can go to the corresponding food house to taste the food.
There are hundreds of food houses on the entire Food Island. It can be said that this is a huge treasure trove!
Chen Lin secretly thanked his immediate superior. If it weren't for him, he might never have been able to come to such a scene, because the first time entering this place, he needed an invitation letter from the food elf, which was too random. He was not a gourmet and could not attract the food elf.
Tofu Fairy Food House.
Chen Lin took a look at the tofu-shaped building and pushed the door open.
The operator of this shop is said to be a cultivator. He has wanted to come and take a look for a long time, but has been reluctant to buy food coupons. Now that the food coupons are cancelled, he naturally wants to come and inquire about it.
"Sir, please come in!"
A young waiter came forward and greeted him.
The consumption level in a three-star food house is not affordable for most people. Even without using food coupons, there are not too many people, and there are no queues like in one-star or two-star food houses.
"What would you like to eat, sir?"
After we sat down, the waiter took out an exquisite menu and asked respectfully.
Chen Lin picked up the menu and took a look at it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The prices here were more expensive than those in the Music Bar, because there were no one-star or two-star delicacies, only three-star ones.
All the dishes are made of tofu, just with different flavors. It seems like there are many of them, but they are actually just the same. The price is also the same, which is one thousand magic coins per serving.
Of course, for a three-star gourmet restaurant, this price is not high.
Chen Lin now knows a lot about the store opening rules of Food Island. If he wants to open a store here, he needs to pay the corresponding application fee according to the different star ratings, and also pay a management fee every month. In addition, he has to give a share to the management office for every food sold, so the price cannot be lowered even if he wants to.
Another point is the cost issue.
It doesn’t mean that all delicacies can be made with just ordinary ingredients like the Xinling buns. Even for one-star delicacies, the ingredients needed are extremely precious. There is also the issue of the success rate of production, so the cost is a considerable expense.
Therefore, opening a store here is not a business that is guaranteed to make a profit.
Chen Lin looked through the menu and finally ordered a bowl of tofu pudding.
Even though it’s just a bowl of tofu pudding, it still costs one thousand magic coins. The three-star delicacy here is the tofu itself, not the cooking method.
"I heard that the proprietress of your store is a cultivator. I am also a fellow cultivator. I wonder if I can meet her?"
Chen Lin started observing the store after entering it, but he didn't see the so-called tofu fairy, so he asked directly.
The waiter was not surprised. Many people came here to meet their boss lady, so he was used to it.
"Your Excellency, please enjoy the food first. My lady boss is preparing the food in the back and will come out when it's time to pay the bill."
After saying that, he took the menu and turned and left.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin stopped looking around and waited quietly.
He wanted to meet the proprietress, not because he coveted her beauty, but just wanted to ask what interface she came from. If it was a safe high-level interface, then after he gained points, he could try to bind the other party's interface to the teleportation token.
More escape routes mean more safety.
Soon, a serving of tofu pudding was served.
It was a very small bowl with a few unknown green leaves floating on it. It looked no different from the tofu pudding sold in mortal markets, and there was no special energy fluctuation.
One thousand magic coins, just this little amount, made Chen Lin's heart bleed.
However, to be rated three stars, it must have something unique about it. He picked up an ordinary wooden spoon and gently put a spoonful into his mouth.
It is refreshing and sweet, with an indescribable unique taste that makes people feel refreshed.
Then, a gentle energy began to fill the whole body, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly sublimated, as if he had turned into a life of another level.
When I examine myself at this moment, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere, just like a defective product with leaks everywhere. Whether it is my body, soul, or even my Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit, they are all filled with various flaws.
But soon, this energy disappeared and the person returned to normal.
Looking at himself again, he is still a flawless, pure and perfect strong man in the realm of refining the void!
A look of doubt and uncertainty appeared on Chen Lin's face.
He ate another spoonful without hesitation, and the feeling just now reappeared. This time he was prepared. He quickly checked various parts of his body and found that it was not an illusion before. There was indeed no harmonious part in his body.
Moreover, under this kind of energy, everything can be truly manifested within the perception, every detail is visible and real.
The energy in a spoonful of tofu pudding is limited, and it begins to dissipate before you can even observe it carefully.
Chen Lin simply picked up the bowl and drank the tofu pudding in one gulp.
Without having time to savor the wonderful taste, he continued to check his body, and then he found that although other aspects had defects to varying degrees, the overall body was harmonious. Only there was an unclear "membrane" outside the soul, which made the soul seem to be integrated with the body, but in fact the boundaries were clear and each was independent.
"hiss!"
Chen Lin took a deep breath.
He had only heard that the tofu in this gourmet restaurant could give people a sublime pleasure, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect!
One thousand magic coins, worth it!
As the effect wore off, Chen Lin's expression changed.
In the past, Zi Shu said that his body and soul were not completely integrated, and he was a little skeptical. But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he had to believe it.
However, this tofu pudding can only highlight the flaws but has no effect on compensating for them. Even if you know it, you can only watch it. Moreover, there are more than one flaws on it. It can be said that not a single part is qualified and all need to be tempered.
But he immediately realized that the holes in various parts of his body should be related to his cultivation level.
The process of cultivation for a cultivator is a process of constant tempering. As the realm is improved, these loopholes will slowly be made up. Worrying now is just worrying about nothing.
Because in comparison, apart from that layer of membrane, there are the fewest holes in his soul, which is why his soul level is high enough.
"Are you also a human cultivator? Which realm are you from?"
Chen Lin was savoring the effect of the tofu pudding when a young woman came over and asked with a smile.
She was not wearing any makeup and was only wearing an ordinary floral apron, but she had a unique charm.
"Oh, I am from the Floating Realm, and I used to be in the Profound Heaven Realm. I wonder which realm you are from, Fairy?"
Chen Lin stood up and clasped his fists. The other person had a calm demeanor and must be the Tofu Fairy.
The young woman's eyes lit up, and she said, "Did you come from the Tianxuan Realm before? I am also from the Tianxuan Realm. I wonder if you are from the Xingnan Realm or Xingbei Realm?"
Chen Lin was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the other party was also a cultivator from the Tianxuan Realm. He immediately smiled and said, "It seems that we are from the same hometown. I have lived in the Southern Star Realm and the Northern Star Realm, but I have never been to the Rainbow Realm. I wonder where the fairy is from?"
"I am in Wanling City in Tianfang Continent. Have you ever been there?"
After a pause, the woman continued, "By the way, my name is He Xiuqin. I don't know how to address you, fellow Taoist?"
The other party was actually a cultivator from Wanling City!
Chen Lin was surprised.
Wanling City is the largest city in the northern part of Tianfang Continent and the holy city of Wanling Sect. The saint Ximen Wuxue, whom he met in the immortal stele in the Wanbei Forest, is in this city.
He clasped his fists and said, "So you are Fellow Daoist He from Wanling City. My name is Chen Lin. I have lived in the southern region of Tianfang Continent for a long time. However, as far as I know, Wanling City is the seat of the Wanling Sect. Could it be that Fellow Daoist is also a member of the Wanling Sect?"
The Wanling Sect is not a sect, but a religious sect. It mainly relies on developing believers to expand its power. The monks living in Wanling City are probably all believers in this sect, or even members of this sect.
He Xiuqin shook her head and said, "The Wanling Sect is a thing of the past. After the last interface fusion failed, the Wanling Patriarch of the Wanling Sect died in the space collapse. The Wanling Sect's territory was also torn apart, and countless monks died tragically."
After a slight pause, he continued, "After the interface was reintegrated, the various forces underwent a major reshuffle. The Wanling Sect has now become a second-rate force. Now Wanling City is jointly managed by three Dao Yun ninth-level masters."
Chen Lin was stunned.
The Wanling Sect was a super sect with powerful masters in charge, and it occupied the entire northern region of the Tianfang Continent. It was really unexpected that such a behemoth would decline just like that.
What surprised him the most was that the old ancestor Wanling, a powerful person in the Hedao realm, died in the process of space collapse. It was such an unjust death.
But these had nothing to do with him. After being surprised, Chen Lin continued to ask: "Since the last interface fusion failed, I have been drifting to other interfaces. I only know that the Tianxuan Realm has been re-integrated, but I don't know what the cultivation environment is like. Can the rules of heaven and earth be perfected?"
Although the environment of the Tianxuan Realm is also very bad, it is better than the Floating Realm. If the rules are restored, it would be a good choice for him to go back there to practice.
