Chapter 171 Colorful Lantern Festival and Happy Food in Commercial Street (7)
Long Qingtian's eyes were filled with contemplation until Yun Bai's excited voice woke him up:
"Grandpa Long, it's so lively here! There will be a food tasting at the Central Square at 11 o'clock. We must go!" Yun Bai said as he pulled Old Man Long to sit down. Then he immediately remembered something and added, "By the way, Teacher Lu Bao specially made a set of dragon lanterns this time. They are very beautiful. They are also in the Central Square in the middle of the street. I will take you to see them later!"
"Hahaha, that's great! As an old man, I love to eat all kinds of delicious food! There are also dragon lanterns to watch, I want to go and have a look! Um... Little Bai girl, this street is great! The activities are also very lively! The popularity is high, and it has the atmosphere of a big market!" Old Man Long sat down and said happily. But his eyes were still looking at the place where He Youhong left.
"Hehe, speaking of popularity, I have a sudden thought - do you think that popularity is also a kind of energy? Since it is energy, can it be used by me? Is there any formation that can collect this popularity and convert it into energy to help us improve our cultivation or do other things?" Yun Bai kept in mind the question she had just asked and asked it immediately. Anyway, everyone present was the person she trusted the most, so there was no need to hide this question.
"Hmm?" Old Man Long was still thinking about the uncomfortable feeling He Youhong had given him just now, and he didn't react for a while. He was stunned for a while before he continued, "Energy, in theory! However, popularity is different from other energies - it is invisible, just like willpower. When a cultivator has cultivated to a certain level, he can see many different types of energy, but willpower and popularity are extremely difficult to see, and therefore extremely difficult to obtain. However, they are also very precious and have great power. In some worlds, high-level cultivators will raise countless creatures, pray for them every day, and the willpower generated can help them increase their cultivation rapidly." When Old Man Long said this, he turned his head and glanced at the four people around him, then continued with a smile:
"But your idea is very good. You can let your teacher Yuanye or that Lubao kid try it out in the future. Maybe they can come up with something new!" Then he sent a voice message to Yun Bai: "In fact, I can absorb this power, so I should come here more often in the future, haha! By the way, you may also absorb it, because didn't you say before that after the second star, you have new abilities? Let's come here one day and try it together!" Regardless of Old Man Long's identity as a world god or Yun Bai's great universe spirit realm, they are the highest secrets, and even her closest people cannot tell them - telling them will not only do them no good, but may also put them in danger. So Old Man Long used voice transmission for the second half of his sentence.
Yun Bai's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she nodded excitedly. She didn't really care whether she could absorb this power, but she hoped from the bottom of her heart that Old Man Long would get better and better. She immediately made up her mind to find ways to make Happiness Commercial Street prosperous!
Then, she immediately remembered that Old Man Long was staring at He Youhong's back, and then she thought of the disgust she felt when she saw He Youhong, so she asked, "Grandpa Long, you were looking at that student He just now, did you find anything special?"
"I don't know either, but just now, I suddenly had a bad feeling, but that feeling was fleeting." Old Man Long did not hide it from the four people. After hearing this, Yun Bai immediately told the truth that she also had a very bad feeling just now, as if she had seen something that disgusted her. Xiao Hua said that it was natural, she was particularly annoyed by that pretentious girl, and even the usually honest Zhao Hongshan and the elegant Mu Yun nodded in agreement. But the others did not know the identity of Old Man Long, but Yun Bai knew it very well. A person (or thing) that could make the world gods feel bad was no small matter...
However, Old Man Long obviously didn't want that fleeting feeling to affect his good mood for the whole day, so he immediately smiled and asked Yun Bai and the others to take the old man around. The four young people immediately agreed happily.
They first went to the central square to see the dragon lantern. Even Old Man Long praised it highly after seeing it. He even sent a message to Yun Bai, saying that Lu's craftsmanship was really good. This dragon lantern has one ten-thousandth of his power! Yun Bai smiled and joked, "Wait until you show up here one day and let them feel the real power of the golden dragon." Unexpectedly, Old Man Long really took his words to heart...
Because there were too many people, the five of them stayed in the central square to chat. Soon, they saw the guys from the spiritual food shops coming to set up the food tasting event. During the exhibition, the place was temporarily closed, but Yun Bai and his friends were not guests, so they stayed to help and taste the food in advance. Old Man Long was the happiest. Seeing that he was an old man, people didn't let him do anything. They just gave him all kinds of snacks, spiritual grain cakes, meat, etc. to taste. Old Man Long was good at eating and he immediately gave an evaluation that was not inferior to that of a professional gourmet. He could even tell a thing or two about the ingredients and techniques, which made the guys admire him very much.
By the time the exhibition was over, Old Man Long was full. Seeing the crowds pouring in, the four of them quickly protected Yun Bai in the middle, fearing that she would be swept away by the crowd.
"Zhenwei Pavilion has just launched the roasted mica duck with honey. It has a unique taste and is suitable for all ages. It is most effective for monks with high affinity for fire and water attributes! Come and try it, I guarantee you won't regret it!"
"Zhenzhen Lingguo Preserved Fruit Shop has more than ten new products, including dried narcissus fruit and dried mushrooms. You are welcome to come and taste them!"
"The Aquatic Fish Restaurant has launched a new set meal of Hague fish and Thousand Bird fish. It is delicious and fresh, and can increase water attribute spiritual power by half. Come and try it!"
"Happiness Spicy Hot Pot has launched more than 30 new products ranging from fresh larkspur flowers, jade liquid berries, and thunder mushroom sprouts, ranging from one to four grades. They have mild spiritual power and are suitable for monks of all spiritual attributes. They are even better for children!"
……
Yun Bai and his companions drifted like small boats in the crowd of tens of thousands of people. Xiao Hua was Yun Bai's most powerful barrier. With her, Yun Bai did not feel the slightest bit of crowding. Mu Yun also had the opportunity to get closer to Yun Bai. He hoped that everyone could squeeze here for a while longer. Old Man Long kept squinting his eyes, as if he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by the crowd. Only Yun Bai felt a trace of extremely mysterious energy coming towards him from all directions and being absorbed by him! Yun Bai guessed, this should be the so-called "popularity", right?
Yun Bai also tried to absorb this energy, and unexpectedly succeeded! Moreover, although this energy seemed very little and weak, after entering the universe's spiritual realm, it actually directly lit up a small spiritual star! This effect is equivalent to her absorbing more than ten times the spiritual power! After tasting the sweetness, Yun Bai wanted to try to get "popularity" from the surroundings, but found that she couldn't do it at all - she could only absorb the part of the power that was attracted by Old Man Long and could be sensed by her. Apart from that, "popularity" was just a noun for her.
Old Man Long glanced at Yun Bai cheerfully, and seeing that she looked a little disappointed, he smiled slightly and said in a voice transmission: "Don't be disappointed, little girl. If people knew that you can actually absorb popularity, they would definitely be envious and jealous! This is an ability that only the World God has..." Yun Bai did not think much about the meaning of Old Man Long's words, and only thought that it was a special effect of her own universe spirit realm. Many years later, when she really reached a certain height, she finally understood that what Old Man Long said "only the World God has" was not just a casual remark...
It was not until after ten o'clock in the evening that the commercial street became quiet again. This year's food festival and lantern festival were quite successful. The next day, we would know the sales and customer flow of the day. Yun Bai was still looking forward to it. The event ended and everyone went home. Yun Bai and the other four accompanied Old Man Long back to the Happy Courtyard, and then went back to practice. Yun Bai ran to Tianlan No. 4 restricted area to find Yin, the star-moon sacred tree, and brought her a lot of delicious food. Then the two began the day's practice task...
