Chapter 370 Spirit Stone Cave (1/2)
”Here ya go, Princess Xi. These are on me.” The man selling these skewers said to her.
After handing the skewers to Yuan and Wang Xiuying, Xi Meili handed a spirit stone to the man and said, ”Don't worry about it. My friends enjoyed it, so I will pay for it. You can keep the change as well.”
”Thank you very much, Princess Xi!” The man gladly accepted the spirit stone.
After eating the skewers in a few minutes, Wang Xiuying said, ”That pretty stone you just gave the man as payment, it's called a spirit stone, right? I have seen them before, but I never understood them. Just where do people obtain them? Or are they like treasures, something you find naturally in the wild?”
”You don't know where spirit stones come from? Hehe… Then I know exactly where to bring you tomorrow!” Xi Meili said with a smile on her face.
”As for your question, I shall wait until tomorrow to answer it. For now, let's just continue what we're doing.”
Wang Xiuying nodded, but her curiosity peaked.
Thus, Xi Meili continued to show them restaurants and different foods.
By the end of the day, they had eaten so much that dinner wasn't necessary.
In the real world, Yuan asked Meixiu,” What are the other participants doing now?”
”The same as usual. They're trying to reach the Mystic Pagoda while improving their cultivation at the same time. Some people have reached the place, but none of them have been able to open it.” Meixiu said.
And she continued, ”In fact, the participants that have arrived at the place seemed to have stopped fighting each other to try and open the Mystic Pagoda together.”
”So they're working together to open the Mystic Pagoda, huh? Even though I somehow managed to open it, I still don't understand how—”
Yuan suddenly stopped speaking as he realized something.
”Wait a second… The demons said the Empyrean Overlord used to belong to the Lord, who is the master of the Mystic Realm and the Mystic Pagoda. Maybe that's the key to opening the Mystic Pagoda?”
”Hmm… That does make sense.” Meixiu said.
”Anyways, I should be returning to the Mystic Realm soon. The Dragon Emperor found a way for us to return, but it'll take at least a week.”
The following morning, after breakfast, Meixiu said, ”Doctor Wang has sent me the menu. I will be going shopping in a bit.”
”Oh? What's on the menu?” Yuan then asked.
”Doctor Wang told me to keep it a surprise for you,” she said.
Yuan smiled and said, ”I can't wait.”
Sometime later, Yuan entered the game whilst Meixiu dressed up casually before going outside.
Luckily for Meixiu, there was a large supermarket only a couple of blocks from their apartment, making shopping easy and convenient.
An hour later, she returned to the apartment.
