"Yeah. What's more, every shop is packed like this," Tao Tingfeng said, pointing at the dense sea of heads inside the shop.
True Monarch Guanqi's heart gave a slight jolt. The ticket price Tao Tingfeng had paid, multiplied by the number of people in the shop, then multiplied by all the shops across the entire continent...
By a rough estimate, four months of this would rake in as many spirit stones as he had earned in his entire lifetime!
Just how many spirit stones had the person who invented Dream Bubbles made by now?
It was probably enough to buy the lives of several Body Integration experts!
True Monarch Guanqi shuddered, wishing desperately that time could flow backward to the Great Qian era so he could make money using this exact method.
If he had possessed this many spirit stones back then, he would have broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage long ago. Why would he have needed to slumber until now, resorting to robbery and getting hunted down?
Tao Tingfeng tore his ticket. The formation beneath his feet activated; his mind emptied, and he entered the illusion.
The first thing that met his eyes was a bright, handsome cultivator. In his left hand, the cultivator held a bundle of grilled skewers, and in his right hand, another bundle. Beside him, someone else was grilling skewers. The cultivator slid the meat off a skewer with his teeth, and the view zoomed in close, giving a crystal-clear look at the meat bursting with savory juices.
With his mouth glistening with delicious oil, the cultivator let out an exaggerated "Wow!", gave a thumbs-up, and shouted, "Try Again Barbecue Shop—it's truly delicious!"
True Monarch Guanqi: "..."
What kind of nonsense was this?
*A Bond of Longevity* officially began.
The male protagonist of *A Bond of Longevity* was a disciple of a major sect. This male disciple had a childhood-friend junior sister, as well as a junior sister from another sect whom he had met while out on a mission. Coincidentally, both junior sisters had fallen in love with him.
The story unfolded around the three of them. In the end, having weathered a series of trials, the male disciple finally recognized his true feelings, rescued his childhood-friend junior sister from a horde of demons, and confessed his love. With tears welling in her eyes, the childhood-friend junior sister accepted, and the two began a happy, blissful life of longevity together.
The story ended.
Having watched the Dream Bubble, Tao Tingfeng found his mouth watering. "Time to go eat skewers."
True Monarch Guanqi scoffed at Tao Tingfeng's behavior. "Craving the pleasures of the palate will only hinder your pursuit of the Grand Dao."
On the way to the barbecue shop, they passed by the Falling Coin Chamber of Commerce. On an exhibition platform in front of the entrance stood a sleek, new-model flying car. Tao Tingfeng looked on with envy, but he could only envy; this wasn't something he could afford.
True Monarch Guanqi looked on with envy as well. The profit margins on this thing called a flying car had to be absurdly high; just looking at it made his eyes turn green.
They were clearly such simple things—why hadn't he thought of them back in Great Qian?
Oh, right. Inventing these things in Great Qian wouldn't have done any good anyway—Great Qian didn't protect intellectual property rights.
Try Again Barbecue Shop was as bustling as ever. Word had it that even the Soul Formation expert who had gone up the mountain to exterminate monsters not long ago had graced this barbecue shop with his presence.
True Monarch Guanqi turned green with envy.
He secretly resolved that once he restored his cultivation realm, he would definitely steal the barbecue shop's recipe!
"How's the observation going? Who is this True Monarch Guanqi?" Meng Jingzhou asked Lu Yang, unable to see into Tao Tingfeng's spiritual space.
Lu Yang pondered for a moment before replying, "A pauper."
