Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 125: Immortal World 6

Even at night, Xunxian City was bustling with people. After taking the Nourishing Yuan Pill, Lin Xiaoqian and his companions felt even less tired and went out together to explore the city.

The small restaurant is located in the bustling part of the market, surrounded by neat streets and shops. There are shops selling robes, magical artifacts, elixirs, and even shops that exchange spirit stones. The variety of shops is eye-opening. The liveliest place is a free market at the end of the street, full of street vendors.

The things sold there were truly amazing: the pelts of Foundation Establishment stage Gale Wolves, the inner cores of powerful demons equivalent to Golden Core stage cultivators, jade slips brought from ancient ruins—a dazzling array of treasures. As for whether some of the items sold in this market were genuine, that depended entirely on one's eyesight and luck.

Unable to contain their excitement, Lin Xiaoqian and his friends bought a lot of interesting trinkets. More importantly, they bought a lot of storage bags from the magic item shop. These storage bags were mostly five or six cubic meters in size and were relatively inexpensive. If the storage space were larger, the price would be very expensive, and their budget wouldn't allow them to buy many.

Of course, the storage items in the magic item shop are not limited to storage bags. They also come in shapes like bracelets, rings, and hairpins. However, these storage items are more expensive and not very cost-effective to buy.

However, an accident occurred when buying the storage bags. Because the group had never cultivated and lacked spiritual energy, they were unable to open the storage bags.

This also reminded the group that they should quickly test whether they had the talent for cultivating immortality.

So they bought a few more magical artifacts for testing spiritual roots and brought them back to the shop. They also went to the bookstore and bought the most basic cultivation techniques before returning to the small restaurant.

Halfway there, Zhuang Damao and Jiang Shuang formed a protective stance on either side of them. Lin Xiaoqian noticed this but didn't ask any further questions.

Zhuang Damao and Jiang Shuang only breathed a sigh of relief when they got back to the restaurant. Zhuang Damao said, "Someone was following us all the way here."

On the way, Lin Xiaoqian did sense someone watching him from behind. He said, "They started following us after we came out of the free market. We bought a lot of things at the free market, so we must have flaunted our wealth. They probably didn't find an opportunity to steal from us while following us."

After all, they had been traveling through bustling, crowded urban areas, so those people didn't dare to act rashly.

But now that they're back in the shop, they're not afraid of thieves anymore.

Ignoring the thieves outside, Lin Xiaoqian and the others sat together and took out their spiritual root testing artifact. The artifact looked very ancient and had some mysterious patterns engraved on it.

Zhuang Damao said with some anticipation, "I wonder if we have the talent to cultivate immortality."

Liao Zhuang chimed in, "Yes, it would be great if we all had the talent to cultivate immortality, so we could have more self-protection abilities."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang's expectations were not as strong as Zhuang Damao's, since both of them had magical talent and storage space, while neither of them had magical talent nor storage space.

Because they had bought several magical artifacts for testing spiritual roots, the four of them each took one and tested their spiritual roots together.

The four people simultaneously placed their hands on the ancient ritual implement, and after a moment, a faint light began to flicker on it.

Zhuang Damao stared intently at the magical artifact, his eyes wide open, while Liao Zhuang held his breath, his heart filled with anticipation.

Although Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang appeared relatively calm, a hint of curiosity was evident in their eyes.

As the light flickered, different colors and patterns gradually appeared on the magical artifact, representing different spiritual root attributes.

After a while, the light gradually stabilized, and the colors and patterns on the ritual implements became clearly visible.

Zhuang Damao first looked at the magic weapon in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. His magic weapon was golden, which meant that he had a metal-type spiritual root. Judging from the bright light, his talent seemed to be quite good.

He exclaimed excitedly, "I actually have a metal elemental spiritual root! Haha, I have the talent to cultivate immortality!"

Seeing this, Liao Zhuang quickly looked at the magic weapon in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation. He saw a distinct cyan color appear on his magic weapon, which was the light of the wind spirit root attribute. Liao Zhuang's face also showed excitement.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang exchanged a glance, then looked at the magical artifacts in their hands.

Lin Xiaoqian's magical artifact was flashing with red light, and like her magical attribute, it was a fire elemental root.

Jiang Shuang's cultivation talent, like her magical talent, is an ice spirit root.

Lin Xiaoqian pondered. It seemed that there should be some connection between magical talent and spiritual root. However, since there were only two of them, her and Jiang Shuang, they couldn't be sure that someone with magical talent necessarily had a spiritual root.

Zhuang Damao and Liao Zhuang excitedly flipped through the cultivation manuals they had bought from the market. Although they were the most common cultivation manuals, for the two of them who came from another world and had just discovered that they possessed spiritual roots, it was like opening a completely new door.

So excited, I couldn't wait to sit in meditation and cultivate myself.

Lin Xiaoqian was discussing ingredients with Jiang Shuang when she suddenly heard the system notification and raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone, we have guests." Lin Xiaoqian's lips curled up slightly. "You've got some nerve."

Lin Xiaoqian pointed upstairs.

Everyone understood that he was not a guest at all, but a thief.

The system had already knocked the person down. Lin Xiaoqian and the others went upstairs. There was a corridor upstairs, and at the end of the corridor was a window. The two people had come in through this window.

As soon as Lin Xiaoqian went upstairs, she saw two people lying on the ground at the end of the corridor.

She stepped forward and carefully examined the two uninvited guests.

The two men, dressed in gray and blue Taoist robes respectively, seemed to disregard Lin Xiaoqian and his companions, as they didn't even bother to cover their faces.

Jiang Shuang stroked her chin and said, "These two must be the thieves who were following us before."

Zhuang Damao rubbed his hands together and said, "Let's tie them up first, then wake them up and question them properly."

Lin Xiaoqian reminded, "The abilities of cultivators should not be underestimated. Use the electromagnetic lock belt brought from the cyber world."

Zhuang Damao nodded, and he and Liao Zhuang first emptied the storage bags on the two men, then used an electromagnetic lock belt to tie them up tightly.

Then, Zhuang Damao carried the two men downstairs and found a spacious place to put them down.

Lin Xiaoqian moved a chair over and sat down in front of the two thieves with an air of authority, saying, "Wake them up first."

Zhuang Damao brought over a basin of water and splashed it directly on the two men's faces.

The two men jolted awake, slowly opened their eyes, and found themselves bound, but they weren't alarmed.

The man in blue sneered, "Mortal methods, you think you can bind me, the Daoist master? Humph!"

He tried to circulate his spiritual energy to break free of his shackles, but nothing happened.

A look of panic flashed across the blue-robed man's face. He never expected that these seemingly ordinary mortals would be so powerful, able to bind him so tightly with a rope that had no spiritual energy and didn't look like a magic artifact. He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, after all.

The person in gray next to him also tried to break free, but found he couldn't. He lowered his head slightly, a fierce look in his eyes.
