Jin Daya scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "It's all fish … Ah, I hate eating fish. Hey, boss, do you have any meat?"
The boss said, "It's all salted meat and chicken. The fresh ones are all fish."
Lei Xingfeng waved his hand and said, "Give me a portion of all the dishes you mentioned. Hmm, cut this meat and put it on a plate." He took out a large piece of braised beef.
The boss looked curiously at the large piece of braised meat. In his opinion, this piece of braised meat was at least ten pounds. He doubted whether the four of them could eat it. However, since the customer requested it, he had no reason to refuse. He carried the piece of braised beef back to the kitchen.
Jin Daya said, "Ah, fortunately A Feng still has braised beef. Otherwise, I would really feel uncomfortable. I don't like to eat fish."
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "I don't dislike eating fish, but I prefer eating shrimp."
The surrounding residents looked at the four of them curiously. There were very few strangers here, so the four of them were very conspicuous. Whether it was their clothes or their voices, it showed that the four of them were not ordinary people.
Lei Xingfeng and the others didn't want to be conspicuous, but even if they came in a low profile, they would still attract attention. Therefore, they didn't care and did what they had to do.
Soon, the boss brought the steaming hot dishes.
The table was full of dishes. The boss came out of the kitchen with a wooden bucket and said, "This is our local fragrant rice. Hehe, it's very delicious. It's today's new rice." As he said that, he filled a big bowl with rice for each of them.
A strong fragrance of rice assailed their nostrils. Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but be surprised. "Ah, it's really fragrant. What kind of rice is this?"
The dark green rice grains glowed with a faint oily light. There was an extremely fragrant smell in the steam. People who weren't very hungry couldn't help but have a big appetite when they smelled the fragrance. Jin Daya praised, "This rice is good. It's the first time I've seen such good rice." He had been to many places. It was very rare for him to praise it.
Lei Xingfeng took a bite and couldn't help but praise, "I can even eat plain rice. It's delicious!"
The boss suddenly beamed with joy and said proudly, "There are caravans that come here to buy fragrant rice. Hehe, I'm not bragging, but this fragrant rice really doesn't exist anywhere else."
Lei Xingfeng loved to travel in his past life, and he also loved to buy some local products. It was the same in this life, especially after he obtained the Hidden Lun space. If he saw something new, he loved to buy it, especially when it came to food. If it was delicious, he would definitely collect or even stock it up.
Jin Daya said, "Boss, do you have any cultivators here?"
Most ordinary people knew that cultivators were the best path for ordinary people. As long as they had potential, there would be sects that would accept them as disciples. This was a huge change in status, and it was what every ordinary person yearned for. Therefore, the shop owner knew what a cultivator was.
He said, "Customer, our place is too small, and we don't have any cultivators. However, there are cultivators not far from here. It's a big town, and it's also where the biggest market is. There are powerful cultivators there."
Someone on the side interrupted, "We used to have adults here, but because this place was too poor, they all left."
"Yes, yes, without adults here, we can't do well."
"There's only some fish and fragrant rice here. There's nothing else, unlike River Bend Town. Not only does it produce fragrant rice, but it also has a copper mine to mine. Of course, it's richer than here. The adults don't want to come here, so they all went to River Bend Town."
The residents here were all talking at once.
Lei Xingfeng asked, "You're talking about that River Bend Town? That big market? "
Without waiting for the boss to answer, the others rushed to say, "Yes, yes, that place is much more prosperous than here, and they have money too."
These words were full of envy and jealousy. Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but laugh, but he already knew where to go to ask for information.
After the meal, Lei Xingfeng threw out a golden hoop.
The boss was immediately dumbfounded. According to the black-hearted rules, this meal would at most cost two or three silver hoop. The customer actually threw out a golden hoop, and the boss suddenly didn't know what to do. He said, "Customer … this, I don't have money for change …" Usually, everyone paid with copper hoop, but this customer ran out and paid with a golden hoop. What should he do?
Lei Xingfeng didn't care at all. He had plenty of golden hoop now, because he had a group of people in the secret sect serving him. He earned a lot of money, and he could squander it.
Jin Daya deliberately teased him, saying, "This … we don't have any other money, only the golden hoop. How about this meal … we owe you?"
The shop owner could not take it anymore. He smiled bitterly and said, "This, this small profit … I, I …" Actually, he was a little afraid of these four people. With one look, he could tell that these four people were cultivators. Ordinary people who dared to fight against cultivators would be courting death.
Lei Xingfeng laughed, "You can't find it? Then forget it, I'll treat everyone here today. "
Immediately, the surrounding residents became excited and shouted, "Thank you, sir!"
The four people got up and left.
River Bend Town was very close to the small town by the Chuanhe River. If they walked, half a day would be enough. If they flew, it would only take a few minutes, and they didn't have to fly too fast. Therefore, the four people who were eating in the small town by the Chuanhe River were now on the main road of River Bend Town.
There were paddy fields all around, and this was where the fragrant rice was produced. It was one of the main specialties of this area. According to Lei Xingfeng's understanding, this was their main industry.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lei Xingfeng's group of four entered River Bend Town.
River Bend Town had three main streets, two horizontal and one vertical. There were also many small alleys, and the population was about eighty thousand. Within a radius of three hundred miles, it was considered a big town. Generally, there would be a small market every ten days, and a big market every thirty days. Every time there was a big market, people from villages and towns within a radius of three hundred miles would gather from all directions. At that time, River Bend Town would be overcrowded. At this time, River Bend Town was very quiet. There were only a few people on the streets, and groups of children running around.
Lei Xingfeng said, "This looks like a town. Hmm, let's find out where the cultivators in this town live."
Mad Eagle said, "I'll do it!" He quickly caught up with a young man and went forward to ask.
After a while, Mad Eagle came back and said, "It's right in front. The biggest and best house, hehe."
Lei Xingfeng laughed, "No wonder everyone wants to become a cultivator. Even a low level cultivator can be a tyrant in the countryside. Hehe, let's go!"
Jin Daya said, "Almost none of the cultivators who stay in rural towns have any future prospects. All they do is find a few more women and try their best to have children, hoping that they can give birth to a few talented children. They have no hope, so they place their hopes on the next generation."
Mad Eagle said, "Back then, I think all of us had the same idea."
Jin Daya laughed, "Isn't that so? When I first reached Sixth Ring, I really despaired. For thirty years … I've been stuck at this juncture. If it weren't for the five Yin Rings that allowed me to forcefully break through, I wouldn't have known that there were secret doors in the world, and Yin Rings that could forcefully break through."
Lei Xingfeng said, "So you stopped being an Elder and ran around?"
Jin Daya said, "What do you mean by running around? I ran with a purpose, I was prepared, and I ran with confidence. Hehe, didn't I reach Ninth Ring? Now that I think about it, it's really too hard. Sigh, if only I met you back then. Earning Yin Rings … really has become easier. Back then, when I wanted to earn a single Yin Ring, wasn't it exhausting? "
Lei Xingfeng said, "Are there many people like you?"
Jin Daya laughed, "There are quite a few, but there aren't many who can reach Ninth Ring. From what I know, there aren't more than ten."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Then what's the point of fooling around? Just find a secret door and join it. "
Jin Daya looked at Lei Xingfeng with disdain and said, "I say, A Feng, your life has been smooth sailing. You want to join a secret door? They don't even know where a secret door is, how can they join? Besides, there are all kinds of secret doors. Some are kind, and some are mean. If the secret door they join isn't good, they'll probably be used as cannon fodder. Where do you expect them to complain to? "
Lei Xingfeng was speechless, but when he thought about his own experiences, he kind of understood Jin Daya's complaints. Although he'd encountered some setbacks, he'd been taken care of by Ah Ye since he was young. When he started cultivating at the age of sixteen, he'd had Ah Ye's guidance. When he'd just started cultivating, he'd even obtained Lei Yin, a Sixth Ring Sage. Just when he thought he was at his most unlucky, he'd met his master Gucci. Then, everything had been smooth sailing until he reached Seventh Ring.
His luck was indeed extremely good. If he did not have the memories of his previous life and the experiences of his previous life, such a smooth growth was actually not good for him. Without suffering, it would be very difficult for him to have firm thoughts and indomitable perseverance. It would be very easy for him to become an impetuous fellow.
However, Lei Xingfeng was a little different. He had the memories of his past life and the growth of his current life. The originally smooth progress didn't affect him at all. In the past few years, he'd become calmer, neither arrogant nor impatient. He'd progressed steadily.
Especially after coming into contact with Monarch level experts, Lei Xingfeng felt more and more. These people were the real powerhouses. As for Ninth Ring Sages, they were more like primary school students who had a solid foundation. If they wanted to go to middle school, they'd have to pass a special exam. Most Ninth Ring Sages didn't pass.
"Hey! We have a guest! "
Jin Daya didn't know why, but he actually imitated the tone of the shop owner.
Lei Xingfeng looked up and found that they'd already arrived at the door of the local cultivator's residence.
Jin Daya didn't know what had gotten into him. He had a malicious look on his face as he looked at the closed door. After shouting, he went forward and slapped the door.
Boom!
The door suddenly exploded.
Jin Daya said embarrassedly, "Oh, I used too much strength."
