490: Arriving at Moxi City, the Gilded Brigade (Updated)

Tang Mo tidied up a bit, feeling quite pleased, then slumped back down, sensing that there likely wouldn't be any more customers today.

However, having such a customer, and a target customer at that, meant he would at least have a steady repeat customer from now on!

Slowly but surely, once things got started, everything would get better.

Tang Mo naturally knew how good his items were, and even if he couldn't open up sales in his own world, the Cross-World Group alone was enough, so Tang Mo would not "sell off" these items cheaply.

One must know, the ingredients were all bought with source points!

What money in this world could be that expensive?

A ton of gold wasn't even a few source points.

And at this moment, the system popped out.

Congratulations on your successful grand opening!

Achievement unlocked: Grand Opening Good Fortune

Reward obtained: Immaculate (Effective after binding to the shop)

Reward obtained: A set of God of Cookery's tools (Effective after binding to the shop, and will transform the kitchen)

He hadn't expected there to be an achievement reward... Tang Mo hadn't thought of that.

Since both rewards required binding to a shop, Tang Mo naturally applied them directly to his current Tang Ji Gourmet.

Tang Mo sensed that his kitchen had instantly "transformed."

And he felt the entire shop was truly "immaculate."

Then he went into the kitchen to take a look.

Good heavens! This was truly amazing!

How to describe the entire kitchen? There were no adjectives; combined with "Immaculate," it was simply one word: delightful!

And everything was arranged incredibly neatly! In one word, it was the kind of place that would send someone with OCD straight to heaven.

"Not bad, not bad! This is really good!" Tang Mo expressed his satisfaction, but after a quick look around, he returned to the reclining chair at the front desk and lay down.

His consciousness entered the system space, continuing his culinary cultivation.

........

Tianwu World.

Seven days passed.

Xiao Feng and Fei Qingyan finally arrived at Moxi City.

This area was in the great desert, with yellow sand everywhere. Of course, it wasn't a pure desert; there were still many oases, and Moxi City was built next to the largest oasis.

During these seven days, Xiao Feng had continuously "fed" Fei Qingyan.

For these seven days, he and Fei Qingyan had been eating Tang Mo's delicacies.

Although it was only seven short days, Fei Qingyan felt that both her cultivation and physical body had grown tremendously.

The same was true for Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng's current stats were:

source points: 7.54 million

Physical Body: 168 → 195

Energy: 35 → 67

Spirit: 47 → 50

Talent:

Heavenly Human Demeanor I (Upgrade requires 10 million source points)

Cultivation Method: Yanyu Misty Art (Earth-grade Mid-rank)

Martial Arts: Piao Miao Palm (Earth-grade Low-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

Yan Yu Sword (Earth-grade Low-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

Misty Rain Fleeting Steps (Earth-grade Low-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

Heavenly Frost Fist (Earth-grade Mid-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

"Pai Yun Zhang" (Earth-grade Mid-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

Wind God Leg (Earth-grade Mid-rank - Returning to Simplicity)

Xiao Feng and Fei Qingyan had consumed over a million source points worth of food.

This stuff was good, but it indeed consumed a lot of source points.

However, their growth was incredibly rapid, and Xiao Feng also felt that he was about to break through to the Innate Realm.

How long had it been since he broke through?! Now he felt like he was about to break through again!

But it was normal. One reason was his current high talent and aptitude, and another was that the Post-natal Realm primarily focused on the physical body, and Xiao Feng's diet these past few days had been exceptionally good.

It also provided the greatest nourishment for the physical body!

Xiao Feng also knew his current situation, so he ate the three-colored brocade spirit chicken meatball the most, and at the same time, he also ate Ginseng Roasted Chicken.

Therefore, the internal energy in his body was also rapidly increasing.

However, Ginseng Roasted Chicken was truly too nourishing; in these seven days, Xiao Feng had only eaten one, and it hadn't been completely "digested" even now.

And Fei Qingyan had only eaten four Ginseng Roasted Chickens in these seven days.

"The local customs and traditions here are quite unique!" Xiao Feng and Fei Qingyan had already dismounted, leading their horses into the city. They found a nearby inn, boarded their horses there, and then walked into the city with the corresponding tags.

The people here dressed more "conservatively" in comparison, and they all wore headscarves and face masks. After all, it was in the desert, with more sandstorms and strong sunlight, so dressing this way was normal.

Although such attire would be hot, it was better than exposing their skin directly to the sun. Moreover, their clothes had excellent breathability and strong light-blocking properties.

"Where is the item Master needs to deliver?" Xiao Feng asked. He had been so busy "feeding" Master along the way that he never knew why they were coming here, only that Master needed to deliver something here, and that was it.

"Find someone named Zhang Qi. The employer said he's with the Gilded Troupe in Moxi City," Fei Qingyan replied.

"Gilded Troupe?" Xiao Feng looked at Fei Qingyan in confusion. He wasn't very familiar with external forces.

He only knew about the Yan Yu Sect and a few nearby cities, villages, and a few nearby sects.

Moxi City was already very far away, as it had taken seven days of riding just to get here.

This distance was already very, very far, as this world was not a "normal" low-martial arts world.

One could tell just by the speed of ordinary horses.

"Yes, the Gilded Troupe is said to be the largest organization in Moxi City, but it doesn't operate as a sect. Instead, it exists as a mercenary group," Fei Qingyan nodded and explained to Xiao Feng.

The forces in this world were not only sects; there were many different forms of organizations.

Typical ones were naturally sects (valleys, halls, towers, gates, mountains, factions, etc.), then there were families, and then gang-like organizations.

Mercenary groups like the Gilded Troupe also fell under the gang-like organizations.

Of course, regardless of the form, they were all forces.

Since they were forces, there was naturally a distinction between large and small. Similarly, if their stances differed, they were also divided into "righteous," "neutral," and "demonic."

The "demonic" in this world didn't mean "bad people." If "demonic" were classified by order, it should belong to "chaotic lawful," meaning most of them were free-spirited individuals who acted according to their mood, and most of them were very trustworthy.

Those who were bad were referred to as "evil."

For example, evil cultivators, evil people.

"The largest force in Moxi City?" Xiao Feng scratched his head, surprised that the largest organization here was a mercenary group.
