Chapter 219 Laurel City
Speaking of which, it has been several years since Lin Xia came to Tianyan Continent, but he has not yet fully experienced the customs and culture of Tianyan Continent.
Now that he has regained his freedom, he plans to fly slowly towards Leizhou and take a good look at this cultivation continent that is higher than Qianyuan Continent.
Moreover, on the way to Leizhou, they will pass through several larger towns. Lin Xia wants to take a look and see if he can buy any special materials. The most important thing is that Lin Xia needs to stock up on blank talisman paper and blank jade talismans.
Besides, the environment in Leizhou is special. No matter what, they have to prepare some food for the cubs at home to prevent them from going out and causing trouble again. They don’t know how long they will stay in Leizhou this time.
Lin Xia was studying the map of Tianyan Continent, while Su Linghan sat beside her to pass the time with Uncle Shu, Xiaochu and the others.
"Uncle, we'll pass through Laurel City on this journey. I heard that the laurel trees there are precious and only bloom once every ten years. It's the laurel season right now, so why don't we go and join in the fun?" Lin Xia's eyes lit up when she said this. Just tell me, what girl doesn't like flowers? Even Lin Xia, a mother, loves them!
Seeing Lin Xia's eyes full of desire, Su Linghan naturally agreed.
Xiaochu and Uncle Shu became interested when they heard that there were laurel flowers to see. Even the four-tailed fox, who knew he was in the wrong, perked up and came over to Lin Xia to look at the map in her hand.
Thus, the itinerary was decided.
Since the Shangguan family has investigated Lin Xia, the fact that Lin Xia has a flashy flying boat must be something they can't hide. In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Lin Xia and the others can only fly on their swords. When they get tired, they sit on Ling Cang's back to rest.
After flying for two months, Lin Xia and her friends finally arrived in Laurel City.
The Laurel City really lived up to its reputation. When Lin Xia and the others arrived, the laurel flowers were already in full bloom. Even from far outside the city gate, they could smell the cool fragrance of the laurel flowers.
The fragrance of the flowers is rich, but not too sweet. Instead, it is refreshing and makes people feel relaxed.
However, when Lin Xia lined up to enter the city, he felt a little depressed. The entrance fee to Laurel City was too high. Each person had to pay ten medium-grade spirit stones.
"Is this your first time in Laurel City?" The guard at the city gate saw Lin Xia's somewhat painful expression and showed understanding. He smiled and explained, "Don't be stingy with the spirit stones, my friend. The price is worth it. You know, it's the season when the laurel flowers in our Laurel City are in bloom."
"Oh, what's going on?" Lin Xia became curious instantly. Behind Lin Xia and Su Linghan, there were other cultivators who were also visiting Laurel City for the first time. Upon hearing this, they also pricked up their ears.
Seeing Lin Xia's interest, the guards couldn't help but feel proud and began to talk. "The laurel trees in our Laurel City are unique on the Tianyan Continent. They bloom only once every ten years, and when they bloom, the fragrance spreads for dozens of miles."
Seeing Lin Xia's unconcerned look, he continued, "Fellow Daoist, although the rank of this laurel tree is not very high, the fragrance of the laurel flowers can calm the mind and focus the spirit. Many cultivators come to our Laurel City specifically to achieve a breakthrough."
"Also, our Laurel City is rich in laurel honey and laurel jam. These two things are as valuable as elixirs. Long-term consumption can nourish the souls of monks." When the guard said this, he smiled and was obviously proud to live in Laurel City.
Lin Xia was never one to pour cold water on others. Seeing that the guard in front of her was so kind and talkative, she naturally complimented him, which made the guard smile even more. He spontaneously introduced Lin Xia to several inns with good reputations in Laurel City, as well as a shop selling laurel honey.
Seeing this, Lin Xia no longer hesitated and happily took out twenty medium-grade spirit stones and entered the city with Su Linghan.
Laurel City has a very large area and is considered one of the top ten largest towns in Dongyang Continent.
As soon as you enter the city gate, although there is no trace of the laurel tree, the fragrance of the laurel here is several times stronger than that at the city gate. When you are there, it seems as if your whole body is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Even someone as cold as Su Linghan doesn't dislike the fragrance of such flowers.
Lin Xia and Su Linghan followed the guard's words, crossed the main street, and found an inn.
This inn has twelve floors and looks very elegant. It stands out among the other buildings and is therefore easy to find.
Lin Xia didn't think anything of it at first, but after moving in, she realized that the inn was built so high so that monks could enjoy the laurel forest not far away.
That’s right, not far from this inn is a vast expanse of laurel trees. At this moment, the flowers are in full bloom. From a distance, it looks like a sea of pale yellow flowers, which is very dreamy. Combined with the cool fragrance of laurel, it is very intoxicating.
After resting in the room for a while, Lin Xia couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go closer to the laurel forest to take a look.
Su Linghan didn't like crowds, so he chose to stay in the inn to meditate and practice.
Knowing that her uncle liked quietness and had not been in a good mood recently, Lin Xia did not force him and took the five cubs, including the four-tailed fox, out.
The closer to the laurel forest, the stronger the fragrance of the flowers. Along the way, Lin Xia also came across several shops selling laurel honey.
There is a logo on the plaques of those shops, which is the family emblem of the Dongfang family.
After a moment's thought, Lin Xia realized that it seemed that only the Dongfang family, the owner of Laurel City, had the right to do the laurel honey business.
The whole way was filled with the sweet fragrance of nectar. Xiaochu and Uncle Shu couldn't resist any longer. Seeing this, Lin Xia took them into a shop.
The clerk in this shop was very enthusiastic. When he saw Lin Xia coming in with the spirit beast, he hurried forward to greet her. He also took out a white porcelain plate, poured out a drop of nectar, and scooped out a spoonful of flower jam, so that Lin Xia and the others could see the difference.
The color of the nectar is very beautiful, like flowing magma, and most importantly, the spiritual energy it contains is also very rich.
Flower jam is also good, with a stronger floral scent and a unique flavor.
Hearing the man mention again that regularly consuming these two things can nourish a cultivator's soul, Lin Xia's heart was deeply moved. Buy it! Must buy!
A small jar of laurel honey, less than one pound, costs five hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
The laurel jam is a little cheaper, only 300 medium-grade spirit stones for a can, which is also less than one kilogram.
Things that can nourish the soul are hard to come by. Although the price is really high and the effect will not be immediate, Lin Xia still spent the spirit stones to buy ten cans of laurel honey and five cans of laurel jam.
Seeing that Lin Xia bought a lot, the clerk was very considerate and gave Lin Xia a box of dried laurel flowers, saying that adding a few of them when brewing spiritual tea would make the taste of the tea even better.
