Chapter 169 Colorful Lantern Festival and Happy Food in Commercial Street (5)
"These are so beautiful! I have never seen so many beautiful lanterns in my life!"
"Who says it's not? I've seen some crystal paper lanterns when I was traveling before, and I thought they were pretty, but compared to these, they're nothing!"
"Looking at this amount, it must be tens of thousands, right? It's really a big deal!"
"Yes! I heard that most of the lanterns were made by Cang Yu's students. Not only are they beautiful and can be used to illuminate at night or decorate rooms and courtyards, but they also have different functions. They are actually magic tools and treasures of varying grades, and even spiritual tools!"
"Oh, Cangyu is indeed a branch of Tianlan. All the students taught there are amazing. I heard that this is the work of the students taught by Master Lu Bao! My child will be starting his elementary education this year. When he goes to school in a few years, he must come to Master Lu Bao's class at Cangyu!"
"Haha, do you know how valuable a place in Lu Bao's master class is? Now many children of big families want to get in, but unfortunately there is no place! However, Cang Yu's other spiritual professions are also very good. Look at the Cang Yu grocery store on the first street. There are many students' works, such as magic tools, magic treasures, elixirs, spiritual plants, etc. They are all of very good quality!"
"That's right! Isn't there a new Cang Yu Spiritual Food Shop opened on Third Street? They also have snacks made by students from their Spiritual Cooking Class. I bought some for my child yesterday. Not only do they taste good, they also contain abundant spiritual energy. Most importantly, they are very mild and suitable for people of all ages and physiques!"
"Speaking of spiritual food, there will be a food tasting event later. I saw on the flyer that there will be hundreds of new spiritual foods on the market, and everyone can taste them for free! We must go there early, otherwise we won't be able to get in!"
"Oh my, there are so many people today. It's just the beginning and there are already crowds of people. I guess there will be more in a while! This Happy Commercial Street has only been open for more than a year, right? It's getting bigger and bigger, and the activities are getting more and more exciting. Even countries thousands of miles away come here to buy goods. It seems that even remote small countries like Pulei and Dafen will come here! The owner of this street is really amazing!"
"Then you don't know, right? I heard that this street - the whole island - belongs to the Yuan family! There's no need to explain what kind of family the Yuan family is, right? The dean of Cangyu is Yuan Ye, and the principal of Tianlan is Yuan Wuhen. Do I need to explain more? They deserve to earn spirit coins, and you can't refuse to obey!"
……
On the day of the event, before it was fully light, Yun Bai, Xiao Hua, Mu Yun and Zhao Hongshan came to the commercial street. They first sat in Xingfu Lingzhi Malatang for a while, and then went to Cangyu Grocery Store, Mu Yun's Lingdan Store, and Mu Yinghun's Wanmu Exchange. There were still two hours before the commercial street opened to welcome customers, but almost all the shop owners and shop assistants were in place. They were all busy with the next work. The lanterns had already been hung with the help of Mu Yinghun's servants. The doors of 385 shops on the commercial street, the outer sides of the two floors of the small building, the eaves and the air were all decorated with lanterns, because the consumption of spiritual power for lanterns is very low. As long as a low-grade spiritual stone is put in and activated with spiritual power, it can last for at least 30 days. The spiritual lanterns made by Teacher Lu Bao and his students can automatically absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to maintain operation after they are in operation. As long as they are not broken and they are taken care of more at ordinary times, there should be no problem even if they are used for ten years.
In addition to the decorations of the shops, the commercial pedestrian street and the central square of the commercial street are also decorated with various colored lights. The group of golden dragons made by Lu Bao was placed in the most eye-catching place in the central square and became the landmark here. Yun Bai did not expect that this golden dragon lantern was so popular that it became a "net celebrity check-in place" in the future. Many people came here specifically to see the dragon.
Later, as more and more people came here to admire the dragon, they gradually formed a resonance with Feng Shui, and Old Man Long actually enjoyed the nourishment of a wish, and his cultivation was further improved. This surprised Old Man Long very much, and after Yun Bai knew about it, he specifically begged Lu Bao to raise the grade of the dragon lantern. Lu Bao agreed immediately and soon turned the original high-grade magic weapon into a medium-grade spiritual weapon. Its effect became visibly better. Countless people came, and Old Man Long received more blessings.
The power of will is a very magical energy. It can help Old Man Long repair his old illnesses and hidden injuries that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, including the injuries he suffered due to the damage to the origin of the world. Although it cannot be cured, it can be alleviated and relieved to a great extent, which makes Old Man Long overjoyed. On that day, the dragon swung its tail and actually appeared above the central square of Xingfu Commercial Street. This caused quite a stir. Xingfu Commercial Street and Xingfu Island have entered the sight of more big families. However, fortunately, with the Yuan family as a "shield" and the support of the Tianlan Mountain, plus the support of the three big brothers of Wushaoling, this place has always been safe and sound, and no one dares to easily make bad ideas - fortunately they dare not, otherwise, Old Man Long will definitely make them pay a painful price that they will never forget in their lifetime!
When it was bright, there was still half an hour before the commercial street officially opened, but there were already thousands of customers waiting outside. After discussing with the store manager, Mr. Hua immediately decided to open the store ahead of schedule, and people swarmed in, praising the lanterns. Xiaohua, Zhao Hongshan and Mu Yun protected Yun Bai in the middle, and the four of them strolled around together - Wang Xiaoqiang had to be in seclusion because he was about to break through, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come out for ten days or half a month. Although there were more and more people, Yun Bai was well protected by the three people and did not feel crowded at all. They walked around, looked everywhere, walked and stopped, and from time to time they "took advantage" of the delicious snacks at the door of each snack shop - Yun Bai and Xiaohua were familiar faces here, and they knew them in almost every store. The two girls had good personalities and were likable. In addition to the relationship with Mr. Hua, they were familiar with almost every store. Those few snacks were not worth mentioning!
"Xiaohua, Xiaobai, you are here, come and try our newly baked turkey skewers with spiritual grain cakes, they are so delicious! Xiaobai, your spiritual grain is of great quality, it is fragrant and mellow after baking, and the spiritual energy is strong and lasting, it is especially popular! You must take care of our family in the future so that we can buy more!"
"Our new Jade Jade Cake, Brother Hongshan, this is the good idea you gave me before!"
"Mr. Mu, your servant came to us a few days ago and ordered 3,000 boxes of Five Elements Fruit. Our shop owner also said that he wanted to thank you for your patronage! Several new products in our shop will be ready soon, so you must come and try them!"
……
In this way, in just half an hour, the four of them had not even finished shopping one-fifth of the commercial street, but they had already eaten eight-tenths of their fill. There were crowds of people on the way, it was simply very lively and popular. Yun Bai suddenly had an idea - could such high popularity also help with cultivation? This idea was out of control, but she couldn't think of a good way to use it, so she kept it in mind and would solve the puzzle when she met Old Man Long later. And her sudden whim brought Old Man Long another huge surprise...
