Chapter 80

At that moment, Gu Yunxi and Jiang Wanshang finally connected the dots.

The news that had spread throughout Jiuyao City in less than a day!

Could it be that the boss was the protagonist of those rumors?

Yes, it must be so!

First, there was the compensation from Mr. Bai on behalf of the Heavenly Star Emperor, then the power of Yao Ziyan, combined with the mysterious shop...

It turned out that the boss was the most enigmatic master!

And Ziyan, she was obviously also incredibly strong, yet she showed no signs of it!

Their eyes changed as they looked at Luochuan and Yao Ziyan.

Mixed with thick shock was a hint of disbelief.

Upon closer inspection, there was even a touch of worship for the strong.

As the saying goes, gossip knows no boundaries, even in another world!

"When I came here yesterday, I had a feeling the boss must be extraordinary!" Gu Yunxi said with certainty.

"Yes, exactly!" Jiang Wanshang nodded vigorously. "To be honest, I never imagined that Sister Ziyan and the boss are such hidden masters!"

Indeed, judging solely by appearances, one couldn't gauge the cultivation level of the two at all.

Firstly, both appeared youthful.

Secondly, for them, masking their aura posed no difficulty whatsoever.

Hearing these words of admiration, although Luo Chuan's expression remained impassive, there was a trace of comfort in his heart.

Yao Ziyan's expression remained unchanged; she even felt a slight urge to yawn...

"By the way, what game were you playing earlier?" Old Bai's voice interjected at the opportune moment, diverting everyone's attention.

"The Tower of Trial!" Jiang Shengjun responded.

"So it's called the Tower of Trials," Old Bai continued. "Is the game truly as depicted on the screen?"

"Absolutely!" Gu Yunxi replied excitedly. "The Tower of Trial is like a completely new world. Inside, there's no distinction from the real world!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Old Bai's curiosity was piqued upon hearing this.

He glanced at Luochuan and inquired, "Boss, may I try it too?"

Luo Chuan nodded. "Certainly."

"All the rules regarding the owner's shop are outlined there. Mr. Bai, I suggest you take a look first and prepare yourself mentally," Bu Lige pointed out, gesturing towards a small whiteboard hanging on the wall.

Upon seeing the board, Old Bai felt somewhat dumbfounded. He hadn't expected so many rules in such a small store. Nonetheless, since it was the boss's shop, he decided to abide by them.

"Lao Bai, before you try the Tower of Trial, it's best to have a bowl of instant noodles," Jiang Shengjun suggested.

"Instant noodles? What's that?" Old Bai looked puzzled.

The unfamiliar name seemed to be a new product created by the boss, but its purpose eluded him.

After some thought, Mr. Bai approached the shelf and began perusing the description.

"Wow! Ten times the training speed! Lasts for a full hour! And it's only priced at ten spirit crystals?!" Old Bai's eyes widened in disbelief.

There were indeed many items that could enhance cultivation speed. Most were akin to elixirs, blessed lands, formations, or foods made with high-level monster ingredients. These items, apart from blessed lands being unavailable and formations requiring substantial resources to build, were only accessible to organizations with significant financial resources and deep backgrounds—such as Lingyun College.

Though elixirs or ingredients were commonplace, their prices were beyond the means of ordinary practitioners. For instance, hundreds of Lingjing were needed just to get started. Yet, the instant noodles in the owner's shop were priced as though they were practically free in Mr. Bai's eyes!
