Chapter 138 Every Day is Different

When you go shopping, you can’t avoid shopping.

For example, Zhong Suxin and Zhong Suyun joined hands to buy some clothes from Floating Cloud Fairy City.

Both were very frugal and only bought three or four items.

But even so, more than a dozen spirit stones were still spent.

You should know that this is not a vestment, but just ordinary clothes made of exquisite materials and with a nice style.

People like Zhong Lixiao and Zhong Lixia each bought a pocket watch called a "clock dial", and they directly spent thirty spirit stones.

One can imagine how outrageous the prices in Floating Cloud Fairy City are.

However, the clock dial is indeed quite new to them, as it can record time changes in real time.

According to the division of the clock face, a day is divided into twelve hours and twenty-four hours.

Below the hours, there are minutes and seconds.

Zhong Lixia probably just wanted to have fun and see something new, but for Zhong Lixiao, it felt like he was being attacked by dead memories.

Big hours, hours, minutes and seconds, from this we can see that the pace of life in Fuyun Fairy City has indeed become faster, and even time has begun to become precise.

It seems that in the previous life, after entering the industrial age, driven by the fast-paced life, time was also measured step by step to the second.

I heard that nowadays in Floating Cloud Fairy City, many alchemists use clock dials to accurately calculate time when refining elixirs.

From this, we can also see that the Floating Cloud Fairy City, under the leadership of Baiyun Temple, has indeed begun to enter a trend of drastic changes.

late at night.

The ancestor Zhong Anhe couldn't help but reminisce about the past, so he took his children and grandchildren to search through the streets and alleys, and finally he really found the small restaurant deep in his memory.

It is called a restaurant, but in fact it is more of a small food stall hidden in a remote alley.

But compared with what I remember in the past, this restaurant has undergone considerable changes.

At least in terms of decoration style, it lacks the simplicity that Zhong Anhe remembers.

Except for the overall framework which has not changed, it has been somewhat influenced by the development of Floating Cloud Fairy City, with the addition of various lights.

To Zhong Lixiao's surprise, after entering the restaurant, the first thing he heard was soothing music.

If it were played live by someone, that wouldn't be a big deal.

When one reaches the status and position of Zhong Lixiao and his ilk, it is not easy for them to go to various entertainment venues and listen to all kinds of songs.

No matter how the times change, some things that the ancients liked are still liked by people today.

What really surprised Zhong Lixiao was that the little tune was "played" from a music box.

This is not a simple musical device like a music box, but it is a bit like the "speaker" in the memory of the previous life.

This looks very trendy!

It’s amazing! This is just a rather simple small restaurant in Floating Cloud Fairy City.

The ancestor Zhong Anhe brought them here, perhaps with a sense of reminiscing about the good old days.

But even such a simple little restaurant seems a bit "trendy" to them now.

And this is the power of the development of the times and the passage of time!

Zhong Anhe looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "This restaurant has changed. It doesn't have the same flavor as before. I just wonder if your signature fennel beans, yellow beef, and forget-me-not wine are still there, and whether the taste has changed."

As Zhong Anhe spoke, his own appetite was also aroused.

Zhong Lixia and others looked at each other.

Can this thing really be delicious?

From this we can also see that what the ancestor recalled might not be the taste of the food here, but his lost youth.

As Zhong Anhe placed his order, the waiter's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at them. It was truly authentic that they could order these three dishes from their restaurant.

Just because of these few side dishes, their store has been selling them for many years and they are very affordable.

But after the recent change of management, these side dishes are basically no longer promoted, and there are occasionally some returning customers who come and order some.

The waiter said eagerly, "You are all regular customers of our restaurant. Please wait a moment. The food and drinks will be served soon."

While waiting, everyone also saw other guests around them who were eating enthusiastically.

Compared with other big restaurants, this old brand is obviously much more affordable and close to the people.

Most of the people who come here to eat don't have much money.

Even finding this place took a lot of thought.

"Everything about Floating Cloud Fairy City is good, but the costs are too high. Even a simple restaurant like this costs ridiculously high."

"Stop complaining. This restaurant is already quite cheap. I just don't know where that damn fat guy has gone. And there's no such restaurant as the so-called 'Tian Can Lou'."

Talking about this, other people around who were cheated also became indignant.

It would have been fine if I had just been fooled once, but it turned out to be a series of fools.

They thought they had caught the fat man and rushed to Tiancanlou excitedly, but it turned out that there was no restaurant called Tiancanlou at that address.

This is really different from Dangdang, and it makes them so angry.

"That fat guy is such a piece of shit. He never tells the truth. He is so evil that he is festering. Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?"

"You were also deceived?"

A group of victims who were also cheated stood up and, together with other victims, angrily denounced the hateful scammers.

After some discussion, everyone realized that they had been deceived in different ways.

Everyone was speechless!

Is the seemingly glamorous Fuyun Fairy City full of scammers?
Zhong Lixiao, Zhong Anhe and a group of people looked at each other.

I never expected that even in such a remote pub, I could still hear the victims who were cheated by scammers complaining collectively.

How many scammers are there in Floating Cloud Fairy City?

"You damn liar, you cheated me out of thirty spirit stones. Those are thirty spirit stones, which I earned by working hard to help others hunt monsters."

A dark-skinned, honest-looking boy with hideous wounds visible on his face complained in a crying voice.

Cheating the poor out of their money is murder!

The hurt was real, the pain was real, every word was full of emotion, and in the end there was even some crying in the words.

Those who see it are sad, and those who hear it cry.

As one of the people who had been deceived, everyone asked the reason and followed the honest young man to denounce the liar.

As the story was told, everyone finally understood how badly the boy had been deceived.

Almost all his money came from hunting monsters, and he lost his life several times.
The many members of the Taoyuan Zhong family have only been rich for a few days. They still remember the days when they could break a spirit stone into two pieces. They can also understand how much wealth the spirit stones that were cheated out of the victims were.

This made the Taoyuan Zhong family members feel very sympathetic, and they hated the scammers in Fuyun Fairy City deeply!

No matter how many times we say anti-fraud words, it is not as good as the victims complaining to them once.

The lesson is so profound!

Zhong Lixiao and the others subconsciously raised their vigilance to the highest level. Time passed.

The three dishes ordered by Master Zhong Anhe were also served on the table.

Everyone tasted it and, well, the taste was pretty average.

But seeing the ancestor Zhong Anhe sipping the wine carefully, everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything.

Zhong Anhe smiled and said, "When I was out there, I was very down and out for a while. I didn't have many spirit stones on me, so I lived in this store for a long time."

"The boss is a nice guy, and he has a lovely son who is quite clever. More than a hundred years have passed, and the person who will take over now is probably the grandson of my old friend."

“These three old dishes are no longer recommended, but they are still very authentic. The young owner who took over is doing pretty well.”

"Haha, if my old friend could see that a hundred years later, the dishes made by his grandchildren can still be recognized by an old customer like me, he would be smiling in his grave!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling somewhat sad.

What the ancestor eats is no longer food, but the memories and pursuit of the suffering and warmth of the past.

From my perspective, this store is really great!

It has been at least a hundred years since our ancestor went out to explore the world.

A store that has been in business for over a hundred years, with affordable prices and basically the same taste, is really conscientious.

What's more, everything in Fuyun Fairy City is changing with each passing day, but this store can still maintain its original intention, which is very good.

at the same time.

Perhaps it was because of a few drinks, these poor people in the "Victims Alliance" became a little tipsy and some of them let down their guard.

"The Immortal City is full of independent cultivators who have come to register. Many of the inns I can see are full, and I don't even dare to look at the inns. I wonder how many noble young masters are still staying there. I wonder if I, with my humble cultivation level, can be lucky enough to become a menial disciple at Baiyun Temple."

This sounds very depressing, but many of you here can empathize with it.

"Well, it's hard to say. I've never heard of so many people applying for the exam in previous years."

"Fellow Daoist Zhai is right. The number of applicants this year is indeed far more than in previous years. In Baiyan County where I practiced, many independent practitioners have disappeared. Everyone is in a panic. I heard that it was the Shouxian Sect that did it."

Even if a person is a little tipsy, he still looks around quietly, for fear of saying something disastrous.

"What are you afraid of? This is the Floating Cloud Fairy City at the foot of the White Cloud Temple. Do the Shouxian Sect dare to come and die?"

"You're right. The Shouxian Sect is a bunch of damned bastards who deserve to be killed a thousand times."

Everyone was talking and criticizing the Shouxian Sect.

Some of the news is true, some of it is false, but there is one thing that everyone believes.

The Shouxian Sect is conducting experiments on cultivators. It is said that they have mastered some methods of lifespan grafting, and many independent cultivators are in a panic!
I have to say, this news is really explosive.

This made Zhong Lixia, Zhong Suxin and Zhong Suyun, who did not have much experience, all change color.

Now it seems that they are really too well protected by their family!

This casual cultivator’s life was really miserable!
Afterwards, the members of the "Victims Alliance" began to share the information they had obtained about the assessment.

The information they can obtain is actually very narrow and can even be regarded as common sense.

For the Taoyuan Zhong family, it has basically no value.

but.

For everyone in the "Victims Alliance", it is still very, very valuable.

Take the dark-skinned, extremely honest young man for example, his eyes lit up as he listened, and he wanted to take notes in a small notebook.

It made everyone feel embarrassed!

Faced with such a sincere and honest young man, everyone felt embarrassed not to offer some useful advice.

It seemed like everyone was imparting knowledge, including process, mentality, past exam questions, cases, and ways of thinking, to the dark-skinned boy.

The young man was even more grateful!

To sum it up, the general idea is to follow the rules, maintain a good attitude, and study the examiner's hobbies and preferences.
Soon, this meal of reminiscing about the past and the sweet past came to an end.

Before leaving, the ancestor Zhong Anhe specifically found the owner of the restaurant and gave him a treasured talisman.

This is also the second-level talisman that Zhong Anhe purchased through the Elderly Group channel. It is very precious.

Just stick this talisman on the beam of the restaurant and you can avoid a lot of trouble.

The young owner was so grateful that he burst into tears. He never thought that their small shop could actually come into contact with such a big shot.

Suddenly, I began to understand my grandfather and father a little.

Everyone has difficult times, so selling at a lower price shows some warmth.

After Zhong Anhe walked away, the new boss who had taken over the business quickly went home and told his elderly father about the matter.

My old father has a bad memory and I didn’t have much impression of it at the moment.

When his memory returned little by little, he remembered that when he was very young, there seemed to be a poor man in the store.
"You said he still looks middle-aged?"

The young master nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there are several young boys and girls around him, all of them are very noble."

The old father sighed, and said in great surprise, "What a blessing! We have really met a god! Let's go and burn some incense for your grandfather and talk to him about this matter."

After leaving the alley, Zhong Anhe told about his next plans.

First, take a few people to Huozhao Peak to visit True Man Chihuo, and then discuss the matter of registering as disciples.

As long as you don't get eliminated in terms of spiritual root qualifications and the way of self-examination, the assessment will basically be just a formality.

This is what I said
The people who had just heard the "Victims Alliance"'s solemn promises about their exam preparation strategies were somewhat shocked again.

They wondered if their grandfather had brought them here on purpose for them to hear this.

Zhong Anhe smiled, saying nothing.

On the contrary, Zhong Lixiao was accustomed to all of this.

How normal it is! When a department needs a female secretary, they can even create a mold of the female secretary first and then arrange an interview.

It’s like the dumplings were made just for that taste of vinegar!
They hate unspoken rules and privileges, but if they are the ones who enjoy the unspoken rules and privileges, then the meaning is completely different.

"Big brother, have you seen this man? He is a liar and cheated me of more than thirty spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao and others looked in the direction of the voice.

Suddenly I saw a dark-skinned young man with an extremely honest look.

Zhong Lixiao and others were stunned.

Didn’t this dark-skinned guy have dinner with them in that small restaurant not long ago, and denounce those big swindlers together?

If they remembered correctly, the dark-skinned guy was very drunk.

Zhong Anhe's expression changed slightly and he said, "Let's go."

Zhong Lixiao and the others kept silent and followed the old man closely to leave the place.

Not far behind them, the dark-skinned young man was still looking for someone.
