Chapter 369 - Spirit Food and Level-2 Gluttony
Chapter 369 Spirit Food and Level-2 Gluttony
Although a great formation didn’t protect Linxian City, there were many guards.
A team of cultivators was guarding the city gate while many people were selling spirit fish outside the city gate.
Also, one had to pay 10 Spirit Stones as tax to enter Linxian City. Zhou Feng rode on Big Yellow and paid the 10 Spirit Stones.
Compared to the well-planned Celestial Lake City, Linxian City was a bit chaotic, and the cultivation levels of the people who came and went were also different.
Moreover, they were not so xenophobic, perhaps because most people came from outside.
‘I’d better go to a teahouse first.’
Zhou Feng knew almost nothing about Linxian City, and the best place to get information was naturally a teahouse.
Zhou Feng had never been to a place like a teahouse before.
After all, before coming to the place under the Jade Sword Holy Land’s jurisdiction, there was no teahouse in the place where Zhou Feng stayed.
‘So big!’
Zhou Feng slowly reached the largest teahouse in Linxian City.
This so-called teahouse occupied a vast area, and it even had a formation protecting it.
There was actually a designated area to leave one’s mount outside.
Before Zhou Feng even reached the door, someone came to welcome him.
“Welcome!”
The attendant led the astonished Zhou Feng into the enormous teahouse, which was divided into several regions according to the different levels.
The second floor was specially set up to receive Purple Mansion cultivators.
The third floor was for Divine Ability cultivators.
All cultivators could sit in the main hall on the first floor.
As for the upper floor, Zhou Feng wasn’t sure.
He didn’t go to the second floor either. Instead, he found a seat on the first floor.
As soon as he sat down, a cookbook appeared in front of him.
Spirit dishes?
“Using a special cooking method to prepare food…”
As Zhou Feng read the introduction in the cookbook, he felt a sense of familiarity.
This kind of service and decoration was similar to the restaurants in his previous life.
Moreover, there were special methods to cook all kinds of spirit fish.
These spirit dishes each had their effects, such as nourishing the physique, restoring Spiritual Qi, and so on.
But in contrast, the price was high.
He only ordered one dish and then asked for some water.
Zhou Feng had come here to inquire about information, not to eat.
After ordering the dishes, he quietly pricked up his ears and listened to what the people around him were talking about.
“Hey! Have you heard? Something big has happened in Celestial Lake City!”
“I heard long ago! If you ask me, those people are quite bold. They behaved atrociously in Celestial Lake City.”
“I heard there were even Demon Lords (Transformation Dragon realm) among them.”
“That’s right! I heard that some human scum joined forces with the Demons.”

First of all, Zhou Feng heard about the situation in Celestial Lake City.
Previously, he had felt that something was amiss and wanted to avoid Jiang Yi, so he left Celestial Lake City.
As such, he had no idea what happened after that.
Now, he could understand what happened in the Celestial Lake City through these people.
The Celestial Lake Auction’s finale item had been snatched, and someone even opened Celestial Lake City’s treasury.
Although the Jade Sword Holy Land finally wiped out these lunatics with lightning speed, the Dragon Transformation Pill was lost, and even a few special spiritual tools were stolen.
The Jade Sword Holy Land was looking for those people.
“Oh right! I heard that someone caught the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish. Do you guys know about this?”
“We know! But I heard that that person was very cunning. He disappeared with the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish.”
“Is he planning to wait for the price to skyrocket?”
“It should be…”
Hearing that someone was talking about the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish, Zhou Feng raised his eyebrows.
He didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly.
Fortunately, he had made preparations and found a way to hide the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish’s aura temporarily.
After all, the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish was currently in the fish basket by his waist.
If this was exposed, he would be in big trouble.
After waiting for a while, the dish he ordered was served.
Coincidentally, the spirit dish Zhou Feng ordered was steamed fish with Blackbear Fish as the raw material.
He was no stranger to Blackbear Fish.
After all, he had caught a few of them with his own hands.
Now was the time to test whether the Blackbear Fish was delicious or not.
Zhou Feng picked up his chopsticks and picked up the fresh and tender fish meat.
When the fish meat entered his mouth, a fresh and sweet taste instantly filled his taste buds.
Even though he usually did not have any appetite, he was momentarily shocked.
This was too sweet and refreshing!
Moreover, he didn’t know what method he used, but he could lock a ball of Spiritual Qi into the fish meat.
That ball of Spiritual Qi turned into a warm current along with the fish meat, warming his entire body.
What made Zhou Feng even more shocked was that the passive Level-2 Gluttony was actually triggered. “Constitution +1!”
Zhou Feng immediately felt that his body had become a little stronger.
‘What? What’s going on?’
He had only eaten a piece of fish meat, and his constitution improved a little bit?
One had to know that his physical body had already reached its limit. If he wanted to continue improving, he could only slowly grind it or break through to the Divine Ability realm. Unexpectedly, he improved a little bit after eating a piece of fish meat.
This was simply too inconceivable.
Zhou Feng thought of the passive Level-2 Gluttony.
‘If memory serves, in addition to digesting food faster, there’s also a chance to gain an unknown attribute.’
It had been triggered in the past, but it didn’t happen for a long time after that.
‘Is it because of the spirit dish? This spirit dish with passive Level-2 Gluttony…
Zhou Feng gradually had a guess in his heart.
But at that moment, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The sound of light footsteps seemed to step on everyone’s hearts with every step.
This was a special rhythm. It was neither fast nor slow, but it made people feel very uncomfortable.
When they raised their heads, they saw a young girl walking in.
She wore a faint yellow dress and had fair and tender skin and exquisite facial features. An extremely young and tender beauty appeared in everyone’s eyes.
This young girl seemed like a flower bud that had yet to bloom.
Even so, her gorgeous splendor surpassed countless people.
It was hard to imagine how devastatingly beautiful this young girl would be once she grew up.
And behind this young girl were two old servants.
These two old servants bent their backs and wore very simple clothes, but they gave off the feeling of venomous snakes. Ming Lihua glanced at them and asked directly, “Is Xia Chunqiu here?”
This person’s voice carried a hint of fierceness compared to their appearance.
“Hmph! He’s not here! Eh? Celestial Spiritmirror Fish?”
Ming Lihua looked a little disappointed when she didn’t sense Xia Chunqiu’s aura, but she suddenly sensed the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish’s aura.
Then, she stared at Zhou Feng.
‘No way!
At that moment, Zhou Feng sensed that trouble had come to find him.
He had obviously concealed the fish’s aura, but even so, someone discovered that he had the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish on him.
