Chapter 117: Spirit Wine and Bacon VS Looking Up at the Stars
Chaoge City, next to the wine pool and meat forest.

As usual, Lu Yue started setting up his stall without fail.

The spirit wine and bacon collected after secretly anesthetizing the giant bronze turtle at night were sold together at the same price, two copper shells for one tael of wine and a small piece of bacon.

Conscientious merchants do not raise prices.

Compared to dealing with supernatural events in the outside world, earning source energy in the ruins is safer and more stable. Lu Yue has completely fallen in love with this method of earning source energy.

However, today, after selling until noon, only twenty copper coins were sold.

Something is wrong!
According to yesterday’s progress, they should have been sold out by now. Then I went back to the temple to review my skills in the afternoon, and then went to purchase more goods in the evening.

It was not until Lu Yue stopped a transcendent person and got a piece of news from him that there was actually another stall selling spiritual food in Chaoge City.

It is said to be made from natural materials and treasures, so it is called spiritual food.

One copper coin costs a large bowl, which is not only cheap but also large in quantity and filling.

Although the person who was stopped spoke very tactfully, there was still a hint between the lines that the spirit wine and bacon were too little and too expensive.

A couple of glasses of wine... not even enough to rinse your mouth.

Two copper coins would require at least two days of work.

It wasn't until that person left that Lu Yue began to feel confused.

Could it be that some expert has found a place like the Wine Pool and Meat Forest?

Lu Yue never looked down on anyone. There was no shortage of smart and lucky people in this world. In such a huge city like Chaoge, it was impossible for him to find all the opportunities.

Having said that, Lu Yue still has confidence in his spiritual wine and bacon, and with hundreds of extraordinary people in the city, the market is large enough.

An hour later, Lu Yue had sold out all the bacon and spirit wine. They were all regular customers who had built the Lu Tai. They needed a sip of wine to relieve their fatigue after a busy day.

After returning to the temple, Lu Yue continued to practice his skills.

At a certain time in the evening, I would go to the warehouse to get the wine and bacon.

Repeat this process over the next few days.

He sets up a stall to make money during the day, closes it to practice in the afternoon, and goes to anesthetize the giant turtle at night.

Originally, he thought that Chaoge City's Natural Materials and Treasures Market was large enough to accommodate two markets. However, in the next few days, Lu Yue witnessed the terrifying impact of cheap, large quantities, and all-you-can-eat spiritual food on his stall.

On the seventh day after entering the ruins, it took five hours to sell out the goods at the stall.

Earn forty-six copper shells.

On the eighth day after entering the ruins, the stall was set up for eight hours.

Earn forty copper coins.

Because the medicinal effect of Datura leaves has weakened, the amount of spiritual wine and bacon taken every night is also decreasing. Coupled with the impact of spiritual food, the spiritual wine and bacon that could be sold in the morning can only be sold out in the afternoon.

It was the ninth day since entering the ruins and it was already afternoon. There was almost no one paying attention to the business in front of Lu Yue's stall. At this time, the voices of several extraordinary people passing by reached his ears.

"One copper shell is a big bowl, and the ingredients are rich and the taste is good. I drank three bowls in a row and was promoted directly to the third level of Shenzang."

"What's yours? I heard that many people broke through to the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Heaven after eating a few bowls of spiritual food. Now many ancient people are selling it. There are ancient people setting up stalls in the east, west, and north of the city, including in the south of our city."

"Really? That's great. I just happened to have two copper coins in my pocket. I was originally planning to buy a bottle of spiritual wine. Since the spiritual food is so good, I'll buy two bowls to try."

"By the way, what is that spiritual food called?"

"The name is very poetic, called Looking Up at the Stars."

Lu Yue's eyelids twitched. Although he had no time to explore Chaoge City these days, almost everyone was talking about this "Looking Up at the Stars" spiritual food.

A few days ago, the saying "cured meat in the south and spiritual food in the north" was circulated in Chaoge City.

The bacon in the south of the city and the spiritual food in the north of the city are the two major pillar industries of Chaoge City.

But in the past few days the name has changed again.

Some little brats, under the guidance of no one, started singing all over the streets.

"Spiritual wine is scarce, bacon is expensive, looking up at the stars is the most economical..."

If it was just cheap and in large quantity, it would not destroy Lu Yue's spirit wine and bacon market, but the most important thing is that "Looking Up at the Stars" is not only cheap and in large quantity, but also effective.

In the past few days, there are no less than ten extraordinary people who have broken through to the fourth level of the Shenzang Heaven because of the "Looking Up at the Stars" spiritual food, not to mention the other extraordinary people who have broken through to the third level of the Shenzang Heaven.

This spiritual food is comparable to a special medicine. It may not look outstanding, but it can help people make breakthroughs. Moreover, you will feel itchy if you don’t eat it for a meal.

After waiting for another hour, Lu Yue, who had sold all the wine and bacon in his hand, closed his stall. This time he did not return to the temple, but went directly to the "Looking Up at the Stars" stall.

Because of the great changes in the ruins, most of the food in the city disappeared. Apart from the wine and meat, Lu Yue had never heard of any other place producing rare treasures.

Even if the other party really found a place where natural treasures such as spiritual wine and bacon were produced, it would not be possible for them to be so abundant.

Because Lu Yue had not heard of any mass deaths of extraordinary people in the past few days.

Everyone knows that there are dangers at night, so those extraordinary people who value their lives rarely go out. Even if they go out, they travel in groups to avoid accidents.

This is also the reason why the amount of liquor and bacon in the wine pool and meat forest is decreasing.

However, the other party is selling more and more and opening branches all over the city. There is a big problem here.

Lu Yue asked along the way and finally found a "Look Up at the Stars" sales point.

It is a Yichunyuan.

Looking around, there were transcendental beings at the third level of the Shenzang Realm all around, and there were even a few transcendental beings at the fourth level of the Shenzang Realm. Each of them had a bowl in their hands, and they licked it clean after eating.

When you go to Yichunyuan, you don't seek fun, but eat food instead.

At this time, there was a pot in the lobby, and an ancient boss was stirring it with a spoon. Only some leftovers were left in the pot, and the specific ingredients could not be seen clearly.

"There's still some paste. Who wants it? One copper coin."

When the extraordinary people around heard this, they immediately became excited and took out copper coins to buy it, just like some crazy fans. They were not as crazy as when they bought the spirit wine.

Lu Yue concentrated and sniffed carefully, and a complex fragrance filled the air.

Stinky tofu?
Fish?

In addition, there are also some indescribable strange smells.

From the extraordinary people around him, Lu Yue learned one thing: these ancient people who sold stargazing products were just agents, and no one knew who the real manufacturers behind them were.

It's not that no one has secretly followed the ancients, but the other party knows nothing when asked, and when pressed into a corner, they just stick out their necks, as if to say, "If you dare, chop me to death." If you don't chop, you're a coward, and if you chop, you've been fooled.

Not only will you be marked by the rules of the ruins, but you may also be secretly visited by those lunatics in the middle of the night. Few people can survive.

Speaking of the madman, Lu Yue was also a little puzzled. He had been using bacon to lure the madman these days, thinking that he could make a little money. But for some reason, after killing the invisible woman and more than a dozen others that night, the temple where he lived became much quieter.

The madman in the ruins never looked for me again.

Even everyone who passes by the temple will pay homage respectfully.

It makes like the temple where I live is home to a vicious dog.

However, killing the ancients will lead to exclusion from the rules of Chaoge City, which is indeed a problem. It is better not to take action if possible. In a society ruled by law, we should develop peacefully as much as possible.

Lu Yue quickened his pace and rushed to the conservative territory to find the two witches.

The night is getting darker.

The city of Chaoge was shrouded in a veil of deathly silence.

In a small independent courtyard, the boss who used to sell spiritual food in Yichunyuan carefully took out his purse from deep in his clothes, poured a dozen ancient copper shells onto the table, counted them one by one, with greed on his face.

"God, I will use the copper coins to pray for the restoration of my body..." the boss murmured in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the copper coins on the table turned into tiny points of light and dissipated one by one.

In the city of Chaoge, these ancient people have lived for thousands of years, but they only have consciousness and are not real people. After long-term contact with foreign things, some of them have awakened their minds and desire to become real people.

He is one of them.

Just two months ago, on the day when the ruins were struck by an earthquake, a copper shell suddenly appeared in his pocket. At first he did not understand the function of this thing, until he accidentally ran into two people leaving Chaoge City and his body collapsed.

This is the iron rule of Chaoge City. No one can leave and survive.

But that day, the two men were rescued by a woman in white.

He saw clearly that the way to reshape his body was the copper shell.

"Once I have enough copper coins, I can regain my body... It's almost there, it's almost there..."

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the boss's prayer.

The boss immediately ran to the door, shouting as he ran: "Sir, why are you delivering it so early today? Can you send more? I only have a dozen bowls a day. If those outsiders see it, they will think I can't afford to sell... Who are you!"

"Buy a bowl and look up at the stars." Lu Yue said.

"No more, come back tomorrow."

Lu Yue didn't waste any time and directly took out more than 30 copper coins that he had just sold at the stall today and shook them in front of the ancient man's ears.

The boss greeted with a smile: "I just kept one copy. Give me the money first."

"Look at the goods first."

"Look at you, you still don't believe me. I have lived for thousands of years, how can I deceive you young people?" The boss said with a smile, but found that Lu Yue had no intention of giving in.

"You know what, I really kept one portion. It tastes really good to me." The boss turned and went into the kitchen, bringing out a bowl of "Looking Up at the Stars".

Although it was just a suspicion before, when this bowl of "Looking Up at the Stars" was served, Lu Yue could be 100% sure that it was made by the chef behind the scenes.

This familiar stinky tofu, this familiar blue carp...

But the weird thing is that if these ghost foods were taken out separately, Lu Yue could sense that something was wrong without even looking at them. They were just cooked together and some other things were added to make this bowl of fish soup look like normal food.

Only a chef can master this technique of turning decay into something magical.

He took it and digested it, gaining a ray of source energy.

"How about it, can I give you the money now?"

"What money?"

The boss's expression froze and he said, "It's the meal money."

"Why should I pay you if I don't eat?"

"Boy, you are kidding me. You have to pay even if you don't eat. Otherwise, you can't leave this door today." The boss blocked the door directly, his eyes wide open: "Either you pay today, double the money, or you kill me and walk over my dead body."

Lu Yue was calm and clapped his hands.

Two people suddenly rushed in from outside. They were the witch and the old man.

"How dare you disrespect the messenger of God."

The witch slapped the boss and knocked him to the ground. Then she hit the old man with crutches with her cane, breaking his legs. She then pressed his shoulders with both hands and made him kneel on the ground.

"If you dare to threaten the envoy of God, I will kill you, and it is within the rules."

The boss was completely stunned. He never expected that these two, who were also ancient people, would actually join forces with outsiders to bully him. He dared to bet that Lu Yue would not kill him, but he did not dare to bet that his own kind would not kill him.

A few minutes later, I learned what had happened from the boss.

It can be confirmed that the chef was behind this.

In addition, Lu Yue also learned one thing, which is about another function of the copper shell, which is similar to making a wish to the gods of the ruins.

What on earth is this copper coin?
It can not only generate source energy, but also possesses some rule power.

While Lu Yue was thinking, the two witches had already placed five copper shells on the table.

"Don't you want to make a wish to revive your body through the copper shell?" Lu Yue looked at the two of them and saw that they were not hiding secretly. He was a little surprised. The temptation of resurrection was not low.

"The only true God I believe in in this life is the Merciful Goddess of Rescue and Relief. I would rather die than resort to such means to bow to the God who once abandoned us."

"I swear to believe in the compassionate goddess who saves the suffering and the distressed until death."

The two of them were calm and their eyes were pious.

"Well done, the Queen did not misjudge you. You are qualified to know the Queen's name. Remember, the Queen's surname is Zhang and her given name is Yaling."

The two of them knelt down excitedly and shouted the queen's name.

"Mother Zhang Yaling, who is extremely compassionate and saves people from suffering..."

Lu Yue: "Now, there is a new task for you. Take away all the copper shells that the heretics illegally harvested. This will be the clarion call for the Queen to counterattack Chaoge City."

"Swear to the death to complete the mission!"
