Upon entering the shop and seeing the descriptions of the Cola and Spicy Strips on the glass shelves, Elder Bai could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
Items with such effects were actually being sold, and for no more than a hundred Spirit Crystals at that. How was that any different from giving them away for free?!
After glancing at Luo Chuan by the entrance, Elder Bai suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Existences like this all had their own eccentricities. Doing something like this was hardly strange!
As for whether the effects of the Spicy Strips and Cola were real...
Elder Bai had never doubted it!
The strong all possessed their own pride. Elder Bai did not believe Luo Chuan would be bored enough to deceive him.
"Boss, may I eat a pack of these Spicy Strips?" Elder Bai picked up a pack from the glass shelf and asked Luo Chuan.
"You can." Luo Chuan's voice came over.
After taking a pack of Spicy Strips, Elder Bai retrieved a hundred Spirit Crystals from his Space Ring and placed them on the counter.
When he tore open the packaging, a spicy scent rushed straight at his face.
A flicker of surprise appeared in Elder Bai's eyes. He had seen plenty of spiritual medicines capable of raising one's strength for a short time, but something like these Spicy Strips, which made one's appetite surge from the smell alone, was truly unheard of.
He swallowed, then took out a strip coated in red oil. Without much hesitation, he put it into his mouth.
"This flavor..."
The moment the Spicy Strips entered his mouth, Elder Bai's eyes flew wide open.
It was as though a ball of flame had blossomed in his mouth, and the spiritual energy throughout his body began circulating at a furious pace.
His realm also rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching Dao Seeking Ninth Grade in only a few breaths!
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body's spiritual energy. Once it receded, Elder Bai opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
One minute!
The spiritual energy intensity of Dao Seeking Ninth Grade had lasted a full minute!
Moreover, once the Spicy Strips' effect ended, Elder Bai did not notice the slightest abnormality in his body.
As an Attendant of the Tianxing Empire, Elder Bai naturally thought of the army.
If these Spicy Strips were used in the army...
A hundred Spirit Crystals per pack was nothing to Elder Bai, but for an entire army, the cost would be rather terrifying.
But if they were used only on the army's powerful generals, the army's overall strength would surely rise by severalfold!
After all, on the Tianlan Continent, strength reigned supreme.
It was no empty rumor that a cultivator with formidable cultivation could fight a hundred alone or take an enemy general's head amid ten thousand troops.
Though he had not tried the Cola, Elder Bai believed the information in its description could not be false.
"Boss, can the Spicy Strips and Cola in your shop be supplied to the Tianxing Empire in large quantities?"
Elder Bai was greatly excited. Ever since entering the Seeking the Way Realm, there had been few things capable of making him lose his composure like this.
Yet Luo Chuan's next words disappointed Elder Bai.
"The rules of this shop are that each person may only buy each kind of product once per day."
This was already the second time Luo Chuan had said these words today.
"I see! That is rather regrettable."
Elder Bai sighed helplessly, his heart filled with regret.
But after thinking it over, he accepted it. After all, Luo Chuan presumably did not have much of these items.
If all of them were supplied to the Tianxing Empire, could this shop still remain open?
The answer was obvious.
In Elder Bai's eyes, the somewhat strange rules in Luo Chuan's shop were utterly ordinary.
Moreover, with this boss's shop located in Jiuyao City, the benefits to the Tianxing Empire naturally went without saying.
