However, the shopkeeper and the others did not know that Wang Baole could provide an unlimited supply of Ice Spirit Water. Therefore, although their eyes were bright, what they saw was more of a temporary craze.
In fact, they had never considered the possibility of operating a type of Seven Emotions ingredient long-term. After all, such a thing could only be done in three or four of the most popular restaurants in Appetite City.
And behind such liquor, there was usually a Gluttony Lord behind it.
It could even be said that only the Gluttony Lord was qualified to own a shop in Appetite City that could provide Seven Emotions ingredient long-term without being coveted by others.
Therefore, the shopkeeper, the dwarf, and the others did not realize what kind of storm the Ice Spirit Water in front of them would bring to the shop.
However, all of this was within Wang Baole's consideration.
This was also a decision he made after weighing the pros and cons for seven or eight days. Sometimes, it was not necessary to keep a low profile while hiding. If he made himself more valuable, he might be able to hide better.
Therefore, the introduction of the Ice Spirit Water was only the first part of Wang Baole's plan.
Soon, the night passed. The next morning, when the shop reopened, all the regular customers were surprised to find that the shop assistants and shopkeeper in the shop had swept away the decadence of the past few days. All of them were in high spirits, and the smiles on their faces never disappeared.
At the same time, in addition to their daily meals, the dwarf and the little fatty kept on giving out a drink called Ice Spirit Water to the diners. Because it wasn't very expensive, some cultivators still gave it a try.
After taking the first sip, the cultivators who tried to buy it all trembled violently without exception. Their eyes widened, and they could not hide the intoxication in their eyes. More or less, smiles appeared on their faces.
This scene immediately surprised those who did not try to buy it. Some of them bought a bottle out of curiosity, and in the next moment, they also became like this.
After a long while, someone let out a long sigh.
"Seven Emotions rule!"
"This is … the aura of joy?"
"It's actually a drink with the aura of joy. This item … has an amazing effect on our cultivation!"
Wang Baole had long realized that the seven emotions and six desires of this world were in conflict with each other, and this conflict was more reflected in devouring and merging. To each other, both sides were great supplements that could strengthen themselves.
This was also one of the reasons why the Seven Emotions had no choice but to hide in this world and were almost extinct.
In view of this, after tasting the miraculous effects of the Ice Spirit Water, the sales volume naturally increased. However, as for the Ice Spirit Water, after receiving it last night, the shopkeeper and the others had already discussed and decided to sell it in limited quantities.
On one hand, they didn't know that the water could be produced without limit. On the other hand, the purpose of the ingredients was to draw out more greed. Therefore, they sold it in limited quantities. It wasn't their shop's first idea, but other shops would do it from time to time.
Thus, after buying the first bottle, the cultivators who wanted to buy the second bottle were quickly informed of this matter. Although there were some who regretted it and some who desired it, they all understood that they could only wait.
It was in this way that noon and night arrived. As the Ice Spirit Water was released, it caused a small stir in the City of Gluttony. However, because the quantity was too small, and because the shop itself wasn't very famous, the stir was very small, and it didn't attract the attention of the surrounding shops.
However … anything that was explosive, and had enough accumulation, would cause a shocking stir. That was the case with the Ice Spirit Water. Ten days later, the shop was limited to one hundred bottles per day. Slowly, the news spread, and everyone who had tasted it began to crave it more and more. Soon … people began to line up outside the shop in the middle of the night.
In some ways, this sort of line was the best form of publicity. It caused everyone who passed by to be curious. Seven or eight days later, the number of people lining up outside the shop in the middle of the night reached over a hundred. Finally, the matter caused an even bigger stir in the area.
The other shops in the area were also shaken, and began to investigate the matter. With so many people lining up, their desire and the aura of appetite grew even stronger. It was impossible for anyone to ignore it.
At the same time, the appearance of the line caused Wang Baole, the owner of the shop, to be able to absorb the aura of appetite even more smoothly. As a result, the natural law of appetite within him grew at a very fast rate.
Even the shopkeeper, the dwarf, and the others had reaped great benefits. Although they had lost the shop, the amount of cultivation nutrients they absorbed every day was much more than when they had owned the shop.
Violence can cause the body to submit, but profit can cause the heart to submit completely. That was the case for the shopkeeper and the others. They had long since lost their grudge against Wang Baole. In fact, if Wang Baole had suggested leaving, they wouldn't have allowed him to do so.
Because of the increased benefits, they were even more willing to protect the shop than Wang Baole.
Soon, the business of the other shops in the area plummeted. However, they didn't think that the Ice Spirit Water would last long. Many shops had done the same thing before, and it would disappear in a month at most.
Therefore, they chose to wait and see what happened in the shop next door. Eventually … the popularity of the Ice Spirit Water grew even more intense. It lasted for more than a month, and the number of people in the line reached more than a thousand. The matter had spread even further in the City of Appetite.
The other shops in the area couldn't sit still any longer. The first to come looking for trouble was the shop closest to them. Under the watchful eyes of the people in the line outside, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper broke down the door in the middle of the night and forced their way in.
After the door of the shop was closed, there was no sound coming from inside. The onlookers outside also kept an eye on the shop, but there was still no sound coming from inside until dawn.
It was time for the shop to open for business.
Fatty, who was blind in one eye, walked out with a proud look on his face. He opened the door of the shop and opened for business as usual. The cultivators in the line outside gasped when they realized that there were more people in the shop than before.
Those extra people were the cultivators from the shop next door who had barged in last night. They were listless and weak, and their eyes were filled with fear.
At the same time … the size of the shop had increased. At some point in time, the shop next door had been connected to the shop next door, and they had become a family.
This caused the hearts of the customers in the line to tremble. The cultivators in the other shops also gasped. For a time, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Just like that, another month passed. The Ice Spirit Water was like rain that soaked into the hearts of most of the cultivators in the City of Appetite. It became the hottest rumor in the East District of the City of Appetite.
At this time, in the East District, a decently sized restaurant had its greedy eyes fixed on the shop.
"Send a message. Either you hand over the ingredients and formula for the Law of Happiness, or … you won't be able to see the sky tomorrow." A calm voice came from the decently sized restaurant.
