Chapter 129 Return to Jiangcheng
Chen Yuanyuan's house is near the school's Xiyuan Snack Street, a quiet community in a bustling area.

It only takes five minutes to walk to the snack street and to school.

The teaching building where the watercolor class is held is close to the snack street, which in a sense is closer than their original dormitory.

The house that Song Miaozhu rented was upstairs from Chen Yuanyuan's house. It had one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, a very standard single apartment layout.

She looked at the layout of the house as soon as she entered. Chen Yuanyuan slammed the door shut behind her and then asked impatiently:

"Miaozhu, was my guess correct? You really got the opportunity like the protagonist in the novel. The opportunity is..."

Song Miaozhu was just beginning to feel anxious when she heard her little mouth chattering away, guessing:

"That's... your great-grandmother! During that time, your great-grandmother appeared in your dreams every day, so you returned to your hometown to pay your respects, and then you learned about the revival of spiritual energy, right?

Grandma is so reliable! Is she a ghost messenger or the King of Hell? She's so powerful that she knows this news and can still appear in your dreams repeatedly?

There is no news at all from my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

"..." Song Miaozhu really didn't know how she guessed so accurately yet so wrongly.

"Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother didn't appear in your dreams. They must have either been so wealthy that they used their connections to reincarnate early, or they must have been so poor that they couldn't afford the cost of a dream visit!"

As far as she knew, the dream-reading business at the Dream Bureau was incredibly expensive.

If you want to send a message in a dream privately, not only do you have to violate the rules of the underworld and come to the world of the living, but you also have to have strong enough ghost power to form a decent dream and convey the message to your relatives!

Uncle Chen simply lacked the power of ghosts and his skills were not refined enough. Even though he had been holding on to the dream for such a long time, neither Chen Shuanghe nor Chen Ma had ever associated it with him.

If it weren't so expensive and difficult to send messages in dreams, the ghosts in the underworld would have told their relatives the news of the revival of spiritual energy through dreams long ago.

"That shouldn't be the case. We burn a lot of paper money every year!" said Chen Yuanyuan.

"What kind of food are you burning?" Song Miaozhu asked.

"What else can we buy? It's available on the market! We buy a lot every time we purchase goods," said Chen Yuanyuan.

"Then I guess you are really short of money." Song Miaozhu told her the ins and outs of paper money.

Chen Yuanyuan was stunned after hearing this: "So, we burn so much paper money every year and it's just polluting the environment, and my great-grandparents don't even receive any money?"

Song Miaozhu nodded and comforted her, "It's okay! This kind of situation is quite common in the underworld. The ghosts are used to it. Don't worry about your great-grandfather and great-grandmother getting angry. Besides, the Fengdu government still pays annual tributes! They don't rely entirely on the money burned in the world of the living."

Chen Yuanyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The underworld pays out money every year? The benefits are so good?"

"How much money you can earn depends on how much good deeds you have accumulated while you are alive," said Song Miaozhu.

Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's not bad, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother are not bad people!"

It was inconvenient to do it on the phone before, so Song Miaozhu could only remind Chen Yuanyuan implicitly. She was worried that her phone calls would be monitored, so she didn't even dare to bring her phone with her when she went to the basement. The computer and printer in the basement were also placed in a separate room.

Now that she had met Chen Yuanyuan, Song Miaozhu no longer hid anything and directly told her all the details she knew about the revival of spiritual energy.

Especially during the cultivation stage.

"Absorbing spiritual energy, tempering the body, opening the third eye, and opening the spiritual platform? Why is it different from the immortal cultivation novels?"

Chen Yuanyuan quickly took out her phone and opened the notepad: "Miaozhu, wait a minute, I'll write it down! I'm planning to write an article about cultivating immortals, so you can use this as a reference!" Song Miaozhu flicked her forehead in annoyance:
"Are you planning on practicing illustration, or are you planning on writing online novels? Improving any skill requires a lot of time and practice. Think carefully and don't waste time trying too hard! The spiritual energy tide hasn't arrived yet, so there's not much spiritual energy. Others are scrambling to absorb it! If your skills aren't refined, your spiritual energy will just be sucked away by others!"

"Ah? Writing online articles is also a skill?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"Okay!" Song Miaozhu said, "But if you want to practice writing, you can't be like before, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, writing a little when you feel like it."

Chen Yuanyuan thought about the feeling of updating her work every day and eventually gave up: "I still prefer reading online novels rather than writing them. Food illustrations are more suitable for me."

Speaking of food, she felt a little hungry.

I got up late in the morning and was busy picking up Song Miaozhu. She hadn't had breakfast yet!
"Miaozhu, I'm hungry. Let's go eat! Even if spiritual power can fill you up, it won't be as delicious as delicious food, right?"

"Okay! I think the Imperial Kitchen outside the community is pretty good, let's go there to eat!" said Song Miaozhu.

"Ah? That place? I heard that a small steamed egg costs 188! It's only been opened for a short time, and it's already famous for its low cost-performance. People say that only suckers go there." Chen Yuanyuan said.

"Just now, when I passed by, I saw that the spiritual energy in the surrounding area was flowing around that restaurant. There must be a chef who can cook dishes with spiritual energy." Song Miaozhu said, "You should go there and eat more. It's good for you and can strengthen your body. The latest report from the Spirit Adjustment Bureau also said that eating more spiritual food can reduce the time spent in the body tempering stage!"

"Really?" Chen Yuanyuan was not someone who was short of money, but she had a good upbringing and did not like extravagance or wasting money.

It was because of this that she was able to become friends with Song Miaozhu while searching for delicious street food.

But when it comes to food, she is still willing to spend money if it is really worth it.

"Let's go! Let's go eat at that place!"

Only after entering the Imperial Kitchen did Chen Yuanyuan realize that although her classmates all looked down on this restaurant, in fact, the restaurant was not short of customers.

Although it was not packed, the occupancy rate reached 80% during meal times.

The key point is that this restaurant has a lot of tables and even has a second floor.

There are just fewer students and more adults, especially professors.

"Is that the professor from the department next door?"

"Is that the principal?"

……

Chen Yuanyuan pulled Song Miaozhu to sit in the corner:
"I thought professors didn't like to eat in Xiyuan! I didn't expect they all eat here!"

Schools are about to offer compulsory skills courses, and the professors must know some inside information.

This made her look forward to the next dish.

When Song Miaozhu came in, she glanced at other people's tables and knew that the chef of this restaurant should be better than Chen Ma's.

Not only is the spiritual light on the dishes brighter, but even the ordinary white rice has a spiritual light.

However, the diners in the restaurant further demonstrate the level of this restaurant.
