Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 124: Immortal World 5

"You!" Jin Chengwang's eyes widened in anger, and his aura grew stronger. He raised his hand to unleash a spell on Lin Xiaoqian. The spell shot out like lightning, carrying a sharp aura that was aimed directly at Lin Xiaoqian. If a mortal were to be touched by it, he would surely die.

Seeing this, others quickly moved away, some even running outside the store.

Lin Xiaoqian didn't try to dodge, and even had the leisure to think that it was fortunate that these customers had paid in advance, otherwise someone would definitely have skipped out on the bill.

"Stop!" Elder Xin Yan intervened and blocked the murderous attack.

"Elder Xin? I didn't expect to see you here." Jin Chengwang bowed to Xin Yan, but there was little respect in his eyes.

However, he was only honored as an elder because he was skilled in alchemy. As the young master of the Treasure Pavilion, he could obtain any rare pills he wanted, so he didn't need to give Xin Yan too much face.

Elder Xin Yan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with Jin Chengwang's attitude. "Junior Nephew Jin, as a disciple of the Seeking Immortals Sect, your casual attack on mortals violates the sect's rules."

Jin Chengwang, however, disagreed. "Elder, I am a cultivator. This mortal is ungrateful and dares to talk back to me. I am just teaching her a lesson."

Elder Xin Yan said righteously, "Junior Nephew Jin, do not forget that as a disciple of the Seeking Immortals Sect, and a direct disciple at that, you represent the face of the Seeking Immortals Sect."

Jin Chengwang was somewhat unconvinced and was about to retort, "He's just a mortal from another realm..."

The woman behind him tugged at his sleeve, as if saying something to stop him.

Jin Chengwang looked impatient and reluctantly said to Elder Xin Yan, "Elder is right to teach me a lesson. This disciple knows he was wrong."

However, there was little sincerity in his tone.

Elder Xin Yan looked at Jin Chengwang and sighed inwardly that this boy was too arrogant and would cause great trouble in the future if he was not properly taught.

However, he doesn't like to meddle in sect affairs. The reason he stopped the shopkeeper today is because he ate a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at this shop, which gave him inspiration for cultivation and led to a breakthrough. He felt he had to protect the shopkeeper out of both emotion and reason.

Elder Xin Yan nodded slightly and said, "Junior Nephew Jin, you should think more carefully in the future and not be so impulsive again."

Jin Chengwang smirked, bowed, and turned to leave, his heart filled with disdain.

He looked down on Elder Xin Yan, feeling that he only had a place in the sect because of his alchemy skills, and that he was far superior to him in terms of background and status.

The woman beside him said softly, "Young Master, with elders from the Seeking Immortals Sect present today, it's best not to linger any longer to avoid causing more trouble."

Jin Chengwang snorted and said, "If I get the chance, I'll definitely teach her a lesson. And I'm going to take her shop."

Jin Chengwang left the shop with his men, and the tense atmosphere inside gradually dissipated.

The crowd looked at Lin Xiaoqian with a mixture of admiration and worry. Some were concerned that she might face Jin Chengwang's revenge in the future and reminded her to be more careful.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will handle this carefully."

Then he thanked Elder Xin Yan: "Thank you for your help today."

Although she would have been fine even if Elder Xin Yan hadn't intervened today, he meant well.

Xin Yan waved his hand: "I was fortunate enough to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today, which gave me inspiration for cultivation. It is only right and proper that I should help you. Rest assured, I will report today's matter to the sect. I think Jin Chengwang will not dare to act recklessly again."

He then took out a white medicine bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Xiaoqian: "This pill is beneficial to ordinary people. It can strengthen the body and prolong life. Consider it a thank you gift for helping me achieve enlightenment today."

Lin Xiaoqian accepted the medicine bottle with both hands and thanked Elder Xin Yan again: "Thank you very much."

Elder Xin Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her accept the gift. Cultivators are most wary of karma. Today, he had an epiphany and breakthrough because of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and he had received a favor from Lin Xiaoqian. If he did not repay this karma, it would be an obstacle to his cultivation path.

"Keep this pill safe. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Immortal Sect to find me," Elder Xin Yan instructed, then nodded slightly and left.

On the other side, Jiang Shuang and the others helped write down the information of the people who made reservations, distributed the reservation tokens to them, and closed the shop only after they had almost sold out the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for tomorrow.

Liao Zhuang, smelling the lingering aroma in the shop, couldn't help but smack his lips: "Xiao Qian's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is even more fragrant than the ones I've had in the south. It's a pity I won't be able to taste it today."

Jiang Shuang said with a smile, "Brother Liao, don't worry. After you finish the system task, I'll make you a jar so you can eat your fill."

Liao Zhuang chuckled and said, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."

Lin Xiaoqian took out the small medicine bottle that Elder Xinyan had given her, which had the words "Nourishing Essence Pill" written on it.

Upon opening the lid, a surprising secret was revealed: the small medicine bottle, no bigger than the palm of one's hand, contained over a hundred pills.

Curious, she poured out a pill, and saw that the Nourishing Essence Pill was round and full, with a crystal-clear color and a fresh medicinal fragrance.

Jiang Shuang and the other two also came over to look curiously. Jiang Shuang said, "It smells quite nice. What's the use of this pill?"

Lin Xiaoqian threw the pill in her palm into her mouth, startling Jiang Shuang and the other two with her sudden action.

Jiang Shuang hurriedly said, "Xiao Qian, why are you so impulsive? We don't even know what the pill will do. What if it upsets your stomach?"

Liao Zhuang and Zhuang Damao also looked at Lin Xiaoqian with worried expressions.

The pill melted into a medicinal liquid upon entering the mouth, and a warm current flowed down the throat, quickly spreading throughout the body. The body felt as if it were enveloped by a gentle force, and every cell seemed to be rejoicing.

Lin Xiaoqian closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body. She could feel her strength recovering rapidly and her spirit becoming exceptionally high.

The fatigue caused by being busy vanished, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

It's good stuff!

She quickly handed the medicine bottle to Jiang Shuang and the others: "You should take one too. It's a Nourishing Essence Pill given by Elder Xin Yan. It's very effective."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoqian was indeed full of energy after taking the pills, Jiang Shuang took the bottle, poured three pills and gave them to the other two people, and then returned the bottle to Lin Xiaoqian.

After taking the Nourishing Essence Pill, the group quietly felt the changes in their bodies. Soon after, they opened their eyes, their faces showing surprise and delight.

Jiang Shuang exclaimed, "The things in this cultivation world are truly amazing! After taking this pill, I feel like I'm full of energy."

Liao Zhuang and Zhuang Damao nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Shuang sighed, "If there's still time after completing the system tasks, I'll buy some pills to take back and see if we can use technology to detect their ingredients."

Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, Lin Xiaoqian suddenly said, "There should be many storage-type magic treasures in the cultivation world, like storage bags or something."

This statement reminded the group that, in fact, apart from Lin Xiaoqian who had a storage warehouse provided by the system, only Jiang Shuang had a two-cubic-meter space.

If other people could also have a storage bag, it would be much more convenient for them when doing tasks and taking action.
