70: Chapter 70 Fate's Guidance

Time flew by, and it had already been eight days since arriving at the market. The number of Divine Artifacts within Lin Xiao's Divine Kingdom had reached 27.

Outside a high-end restaurant in Qingxu Market, Guan Hong sighed after a moment of hesitation.

"Forget it, I'll never feel at ease if I don't try. If they are truly too vicious, I can just leave early..."

After making his decision, he no longer hesitated. As he activated his Law, a thread of fate, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.

Grabbing the thread of fate, Guan Hong tried to pull it. The expected feeling of heaviness did not appear.

With this tug, he could clearly feel the other end of the thread being pulled toward him.

[What the...? What's going on? Is there something wrong with the thread of fate? How could it be pulled so easily? Could it be that this great Opportunity doesn't even have the strength of a demigod?]

Watching the thread disappear from his sight, Guan Hong checked it carefully several times. He confirmed that the Opportunity was heading toward his location.

On the other side, Lin Xiao, who was browsing videos in his room, suddenly stopped. He asked Lu Yan, his former guide, who was standing to the side.

"Come to think of it, we haven't really gone out much in a while, have we? The market will be closing in a few days, so why don't we go for a walk? I wonder if there's any special food in Qingxu Market?"

Spending these days by Lin Xiao's side, watching him frantically purchase Divine Artifacts as if money meant nothing, with nearly eighty million divine power points spent in just over a week, Lu Yan was incredibly grateful for his decision.

His attitude toward Lin Xiao became increasingly respectful. Hearing this, he quickly filtered through information in his mind.

He finally locked onto a high-end restaurant.

"If you're looking for gourmet food, I do know of a special place. The quality and taste of the food at [Happy Restaurant] are absolutely on par with Qingxu Heaven. More importantly, the food there is quite unique. Every guest who visits for the first time is amazed. I believe it will certainly satisfy you, my lord."

Lu Yan kept him in suspense and didn't introduce it directly. This actually piqued Lin Xiao's interest.

"Amazed, you say? Now that you mention it, I'm quite interested. Make arrangements; let's head to this [Happy Restaurant] now."

He didn't know how Qingxu Market managed it, but in a space dozens of times larger than Earth, teleportation was possible everywhere.

With over twenty people, at one divinity point per person for the entrance fee, the group instantly appeared at the entrance of a high-end restaurant.

Outside the Happy Restaurant, Guan Hong, who had been closely monitoring the movements of fate, suddenly shuddered. Then, his eyes quickly darted in one direction.

Lin Xiao, who was just about to step inside, felt a strange sensation in the dark. It made him involuntarily look in one direction.

Their gazes met. Guan Hong's face was filled with excitement and thrill, while Lin Xiao looked somewhat curious, glanced at him, and then pulled his gaze back.

[Interesting! Truly interesting! A mere Divine Being is actually the Opportunity itself, and is not entangled by other fates. A Divine Being not entangled by external fate can actually greatly benefit a deity. This is truly interesting!]

Generally speaking, second-generation scions or direct descendants of major clans can also greatly benefit deities. However, their fates are often strongly bound to their Family. On the level of fate, this manifests as being tightly entangled.

Yet, not only was this Divine Being not entangled by fate, but he had instead become a central entity that was constantly entangling more than twenty fate entities around him, all of whom were stronger than him.

And these entangled fate entities showed no resistance at all. Among them, two large, two medium, and two small fate entities were even rolling around frantically, pulling their own fates, trying to make the entanglement even tighter.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao and his group were led by a staff member into a private room. Judging by the fluctuations of Divine Power, this server was clearly a deity.

At this moment, the deity was respectfully handing over a high-quality menu, opening it to the first page.

A braised fish that looked incredibly appetizing was dancing on the page!

The thick, colorful sauce on its body swirled around it as the braised fish danced. No matter how much the fish jumped, the sauce was never flung off.

The server's voice introduced it at the right moment.

"Mystic Scale River-Burning Roast. It is made from the Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast, the Mystic-Pattern River Scale Fish, supplemented with various Foundation Establishment Spirit Rank plants of the ice and water elements."

"It is marinated using the Law of Water gathered by a deity of the Water-type Nourishing Law, and finally slowly roasted at high temperatures by a deity of the Fire-type Blazing Law."

"Finally, our head chef uses Soul-Living Shaping to fix the form of the entire Spirit Rank dish, and then bestows vitality upon it using Soul-Shaping Incarnation."

"This allows it to lock all the Spiritual Qi firmly within its body, so that even when consumed by guests, the rate at which the Spiritual Qi dissipates is incredibly slow. It has a unique flavor and texture."

The braised fish on the menu was shaking its head and wagging its tail at Lin Xiao, its pectoral fins looking like two little hands constantly beckoning him.

Its fish head bobbed up and down, as if saying: "Guest, come and eat me quickly."

Feeling quite amazed, Lin Xiao flipped through the pages. Every page of the menu featured a "living" dish.

Even though they had been made into dishes, they were still like living creatures, either dancing or shaking their heads.

At the end of the menu, there were even Spirit Rank dishes made primarily from Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts. Even though it was just a menu, Lin Xiao could truly smell the aroma and feel the Spiritual Qi rushing toward him from it.

Of course, the prices of these Spirit Rank dishes were equally "beautiful"; the cheapest dish made from a Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast cost 3,000 divine power points.

Depending on the specific Realm and size of the Yao Beast, expensive ones could even sell for tens of thousands of divine power points.

As for the finale, the Golden Core Realm Spirit Rank dishes, any single plate cost thirty to fifty thousand divine power points. The most expensive one, the Myriad Spirit Mystic Armor Stew, sold for a staggering 180,000 divine power points!

It is said that the main ingredient is a Golden Core Realm Mystic Turtle that has cultivated for thousands of years, and even the plate holding the dish is a specially crafted A-grade utensil.

The thousand-meter-large Mystic Turtle is confined within a small dinner plate, and the sauce around it is an entire lake's worth of liquefied, pure Spiritual Qi.

Even some of the small side dishes within the lake (the sauce) are the essential parts of Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beasts.

The Mystic Turtle on the menu displayed a very human-like arrogant expression, glanced at the people outside, and began to swim leisurely within the spirit lake.

Adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here," Lin Xiao handed the menu directly to the server, a smile on his face.

"I'll take one of everything."

His words directly caused the deity-level server to freeze for two seconds. After realizing what he meant, the server glanced at the other guests in the private room.

The smile on their face deepened, and after bowing to Lin Xiao, they took the menu and performed some actions on it.

"I have finished taking your order, guest. The Spirit Rank dishes will be delivered shortly. Please feel free to instruct this minor deity if you have any further needs."
