Queueing Up

After leaving the inn, Lin Xiao and his group headed straight for the boat ticket office.

It is located in the very center of the city.

This place originally belonged to the Yuan Household, but it is now temporarily closed and being used by the ticket sellers for the Talisman Master Assembly.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao and his group left early in the morning, and since it was still early, there wasn't a long queue yet.

Although the Talisman Master Assembly is a grand event held once every hundred years, not everyone has the time or the Spirit Stone to easily spend two hundred Spirit Stone just to watch a conference that has nothing to do with them.

But there were still about a hundred people.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu obediently went to the end of the line and joined the queue.

Jiang Youfu, his eyes wide with excitement, looked around. He was about to chat with Lin Xiao when he suddenly remembered the long string of words Senior Liao had said to him yesterday, and instantly pursed his lips.

He needs to be calm, composed, and cautious, and value his life.

Lin Xiao turned his head and saw Jiang Youfu pursing his lips, looking like a steamed bun.

What's wrong with you?

When he heard Lin Xiao ask him a question, Jiang Youfu hesitated and tried to say something, but as soon as he did, a rush of air from his trachea made him burp at Lin Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao coughed lightly and patted his shoulder, saying:

"Take your snacks easy, don't overeat. We still have to go to the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion later."

The queue formed quickly.

Before long, there were less than twenty people left in front of Lin Xiao and his group.

The shop in front only had a small door open, probably because of a magic array, so Lin Xiao couldn't see what was inside from behind.

Of course, with his current Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could still see it if he really wanted to.

But it's unnecessary.

You can't make a fuss about it, or you'll attract attention and cause trouble.

Not long after, it was Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu's turn.

He then realized that behind the small door was a small table, behind which sat a middle-aged cultivator.

Since his cultivation level is not discernible, it's clear that either his cultivation is higher than Lin Xiao's, or he has some means of concealing his cultivation level.

Lin Xiao didn't look at it much, and directly handed over four hundred Spirit Stone to the cultivator, saying:

"Two tickets, thank you."

Whether it was something he said or did that piqued the middle-aged cultivator's curiosity, he looked up at Lin Xiao.

But he didn't stop moving at all. He waved his hand to accept the Spirit Stone Lin Xiao handed over, and then held out two boat tickets.

From the darkness inside the small door, a soft, youthful voice suddenly came:

"The ship will depart at Chenshi (7-9 AM) in three days. I hope you will not miss the appointed time."

Hearing the sudden sound, Lin Xiao glanced into the room with some surprise, but saw nothing.

The middle-aged cultivator seemed quite surprised upon hearing the voice. Yu Guang glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye before signaling Lin Xiao that he could leave.

After pretending to put the boat tickets into his Storage Bag (actually putting them into his private treasury), Lin Xiao quickly left the place with Jiang Youfu, and on the way, he even used Purification Technique to remove any trace of his own aura from himself and Jiang Youfu.

They changed their disguise again.

Then he continued walking casually towards the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion.

Although this part of the city is lively, it is not noisy.

Because there are almost no ordinary people or vendors here, and the shops are mostly run by established families, the streets have a sense of calm and tranquility.

Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu walked on a bustling but not noisy street, with Jiang Youfu glancing at Lin Xiao beside him from time to time.

He really wanted to see what that two hundred Spirit Stone ' ticket looked like.

But he had to hold back.

He now understood why Brother Xiao had acted that way.

Do not flaunt your wealth.

Four hundred Spirit Stone is not a small amount.

They both look quite young, and other people would probably think they're easy to bully.

Whether or not Brother Xiao and I can handle it, it's a problem.

When traveling, try to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible; that's what Senior Liao told him yesterday.

Jiang Youfu felt that he had grown up a lot and was becoming more and more like a mature and steady adult.

They even took a detour and, taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't too late, went to Jiang Household Livestock Firm and bought a spirit pig to be delivered to the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion.

Only after the two arrived at the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion and all the dishes were served, and Lin Xiao set up an array of restrictions inside, did he finally look at Lin Xiao with bright, sparkling eyes:

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I want to see what those boat tickets look like."

Liao Pantu also emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, took Lin Xiao's small wine cup from the side, filled it, and while taking a light sip, looked at Jiang Youfu with disdain and said:

"Look at you, so pathetic. What's so interesting about a worthless ship ticket?"

Lin Xiao smiled, said nothing, and took out a boat ticket from his pocket, handing it to Jiang Youfu.

Then the two young men sat down at the table, huddled together, and carefully examined the boat ticket.

This "ticket," though called a ticket, is actually just a piece of pale red jade.

There was nothing on it.

Jiang Youfu looked through the ticket repeatedly and found nothing there. Somewhat bored, he returned the ticket to Lin Xiao.

"This ticket comes with nothing on it."

Lin Xiao put away the boat ticket and smiled at him:

"Fuzi, you need to get used to using your Divine Sense Divine Sense more often; it has many uses."

Who would have thought that Jiang Youfu, who usually obeyed Lin Xiao's every word, would shake his head and say this after hearing his words:

"Brother Xiao, using your Divine Sense is too tiring. A few times before, I subconsciously used my Divine Sense while cooking, and I felt dizzy afterward."

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu, who was happily drinking to the side, glanced at him with some surprise and asked:

"So, every time you use your Divine Sense to cook, is it easier than the last time, or do you last longer, and is the quality of the food also much better than before?"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Youfu nodded, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

Liao Pantu brought the wine glass to his lips and sighed:

"Not bad, little fatty. You can even train your Divine Sense by cooking? Tsk, remember this, but don't tell anyone."

As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of meat and vegetables with his chopsticks to accompany his wine.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao asked:

"Isn't that how every spiritual chef is?"

"Of course not," Liao Pantu.

"Many people's Divine Sense can only passively increase with their cultivation level. They can't find a very effective way to practice independently. Or rather, the general methods are very inefficient for ordinary cultivators. Even after a year or two of practice, the increase is only a tiny bit. It's much better to focus on cultivation and improve one's cultivation level more quickly."

"The methods for cultivating Divine Sense are different for everyone. I don't know if everyone has them, or if only a portion of people do. But finding these methods is not easy."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Youfu, his tone tinged with bitterness:

"Except for those whose luck is outrageously good."
