Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 3 Sweets and Desserts
After paying three spirit crystals, Xia Chen entered the market town.

The market town is ten miles long and wide. The central area consists of four streets arranged in a crisscross pattern. On the left and right are shops of all kinds with signs hanging at the doors. All the passers-by are monks.

After entering, Xia Chen did not go to the central area, but took many detours and came to a remote alley, which was long, narrow and deep.

The alley was lined with stalls selling a wide variety of items, including animal skins, magical rice, talismans, and elixirs...

This is a dark alley where you can set up stalls for free. However, if a dispute occurs, you will not be protected by the law enforcement disciples of the market.

Xia Chen found an empty space and poured the spirit fish in the fish basket behind him into a wooden barrel.

The meat of spirit fish is delicious and not as expensive as the meat of spirit beasts. Eating it can also slightly increase the mana in the body, so it is deeply loved by the low-level cultivators.

Soon a monk came to the door.

"How much is this mackerel?"

A female cultivator stopped by. She was about thirty years old and was wearing a bright red silk dress with a low neckline, revealing her plump, snow-white breasts. Her face was like a lotus, her eyebrows were like willows, and her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms and very alluring.

"Fifty Spirit Crystals!"

"Why is it so expensive? Aren't they usually 20 or 30 Spirit Crystals each?"

The beautiful female cultivator was somewhat dissatisfied. Fifty spirit crystals were equivalent to half a low-grade spirit stone, which was really not cheap.

"This bluefin tuna weighs 2.4 jin. It's quite large, so the price will naturally be a little higher," Xia Chen explained.

"It's cheaper, thirty spirit crystals." The female cultivator bent over and said charmingly, "Next time you come to Chunfeng Garden, I'll give you a discount."

Chunfeng Garden was a brothel in the market town.

What is different from the secular world is that the service providers there are all female cultivators with strong cultivation bases. Each of them is beautiful and slender, and is good at the art of yin and yang, and is best at corroding bones and sucking marrow.

Xia Chen's eyes turned pale, but he knew that these Kun cultivators were ruthless and ruthless. He didn't know how many of his fellow cultivators had been exploited. Moreover, his cultivation was low, so he was no match for them. So he shook his head firmly:
“No bargaining!”

"I don't understand the style!"

The beautiful female cultivator snorted, threw down a handful of spirit crystals, and said, "Clean up the fish, I'm going to take it away."

"okay!"

Xia Chen put away the spirit crystal, then grabbed the bluefin tuna from the wooden basin, skillfully scraped off the scales, removed the gills and internal organs, and finally washed the fish, pierced the fish lips with grass, and handed it to the female cultivator.

There weren't many people selling spirit fish in the market, and only five or six were sold in a short time.

Seeing that it was getting late and there was still a white jade crucian carp in the wooden basin, Xia Chen decided to keep it for himself, so he packed up and went down the mountain, returning to the shantytown named Xu in the wilderness.

After returning to the bamboo house, he scooped a small bowl of spiritual rice from the rice jar, put it into the stove, and then added sweet spiritual spring water.

Light a fire and start a stove.

Soon, a mellow and rich rice aroma filled the air.

Afterwards, fry the white jade crucian carp with spirit beast oil, add water and simmer over low heat.

Half an hour later, the lid of the pot was opened, and the milky white soup looked thick and tempting. The fish bones with fish meat were boiled until they were crystal clear. Half of the white and tender fish meat remained on the bones, and the other part seemed to have melted into the rich and mellow soup.

Lingmi combined with fish soup has a unique flavor.

In the following days, Xia Chen continued to practice, fish and sell fish as usual.

In just two months, he had accumulated sixty-five low-grade spirit stones!

In the past, even when the harvest was good, one could only save a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones a year at most. Most of the time, it was just enough to make ends meet.

During the event, many props were drawn, such as bamboo dragonflies, air cannons, etc.

It’s a pity that the item level is relatively low and its power is not great.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing candy, snacks and pasture]

On this day, Xia Chen drew props as usual.

Boxes of cans with grass printed on them appear on the panel.

[Item Name]: Candy, Dessert, Pasture (Permanent)
[Level]: E (cannot be upgraded!)

[Function]: No matter what kind of snack it is, as long as they eat this kind of grass, their number will increase.

"Can the number of snacks be increased?"

The first thing Xia Chen thought of was the spiritual cakes sold in the market. They were spiritual rice ground into powder and then steamed into a dessert, and were very popular among female cultivators and children.

The price is not cheap, and one piece often costs four or five spirit crystals.

Going to the market to buy spirit cakes was too extravagant, so it was more cost-effective to steam them yourself. Xia Chen went out and asked the pretty widow in the front room for a handful of spirit dates, preparing to make red date spirit rice cakes.

After a whole morning of hard work, a pot of spiritual cake was finally ready.

Smelling the rich aroma of rice, Xia Chen swallowed.

But now was not the time to eat, so he took out a piece of spirit cake and carefully placed it on a box of candies and snacks.

After a while, the spirit cake that was still steaming began to move and make a rustling sound.

Looking closely, it was found that a thin crack had grown on the spirit cake on the grass, and it was slowly eating the grass like a silkworm.

“He actually came back to life!”

Xia Chen took a deep breath. Doraemon's props were truly incredible and could not be judged by common sense.

If he wanted the spirit cake to reproduce more small spirit cakes, one piece would definitely not be enough, so he took out another piece and placed it on the candy and snack grass.

Soon, the magic cake developed "intelligence" and began to eat grass.

But as they were eating, the two pieces of spirit cakes actually started fighting.

Since they have no hands or feet, Linggao's fighting style is very special, somewhat similar to that of cows and sheep, both of them use their heads to butt heads.

One of the spirit cakes was a little bigger, and it turned over and pressed the other spirit cake underneath, trying to eat the other with its slit-like mouth.

"It seems that both pieces are male!"

After observing for a while, Xia Chen guessed the reason and separated the fighting spirit cakes.

There are five pieces of Red Date Spirit Rice Cakes in total, and the remaining three pieces were tested and found to be all Mother Spirit Cakes.

He divided the five spirit cakes into two groups, among which the larger male spirit cake was divided into two female spirit cakes. After all, only the strong ones can have more opportunities to mate.

After five or six hours of feeding and the efforts of the two male spirit cakes, the female spirit cakes finally had their bellies filled up.

The next morning, a group of little babies were born. Each one was the size of an eraser and looked very cute.

"Just keep it for now!"

After leaving a few cans of grass for Linggao as food, Xia Chen picked up the fishing rod and fish basket and continued to go out to fish for spirit fish.

Today's harvest was good, I even caught a red-striped river crab.

This river crab weighs about 8 taels, with flame-like patterns on its body. Its claws are like scissors and it is extremely ferocious.

In the end, three low-grade spirit stones were sold!

After returning, Xia Chen went to check the spirit cake first.

Unexpectedly, the big and small spirit cakes were lying weak in their nests, and the grass inside had already been eaten up.

If the spirit cake starves to death, it will lose its activity and become an ordinary snack, unable to be resurrected again.

"I underestimated the appetite of these spirit cakes!"

Xia Chen quickly took out a few cans of food from his treasure bag and poured the hay into them.

With sufficient food, the spirit cakes that were just dying gradually regained their vitality.

There are already ten little spirit cakes now, and the population has doubled. If they are nurtured for a period of time, maybe we can open a spirit cake shop in the market.

Although the twelve shanty towns were built by the Immortal Sect, they were located outside the sect after all, and were still invaded by the robber cultivators.

The candy, snacks and grass were so amazing that they could actually bring soulless dead things back to life.

If the news leaks out, I won’t even know how I died.

Therefore, the cultivation of Linggao can only be carried out in secret, and large-scale grazing breeding is not allowed.

Xia Chen specially built a two-meter-high bamboo cabinet with nine layers to house the spirit cake tribe.

The value of a piece of spirit cake is about three to ten spirit crystals. With the current breeding scale, it is possible to make a little money, but it is not realistic to expect to get rich overnight.

"Besides spirit cakes, what else can we grow?"

Xia Chen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he thought of elixirs!
Everyone may have a different definition of snacks. For those wealthy cultivators who are not short of spirit stones, elixirs may be candies, snacks, and the like.
