Chapter 83: Two Women Meet

At the grilled fish restaurant.

Mosimin looked at the girl sitting across from her, then at Yan Bingxuan beside her, and finally at Chen Mobai between the two girls, completely baffled by his audacity!

"Come, this is the black sturgeon I specially had transported from my hometown. It tastes even better than the carp we had last time."

Since Chen Mobai had been on Qingguang Island for a while and hadn't had the time to return to the Water Mansion, he could only choose the best-tasting fish from the island's seafood market. It was said that the taste was on par with the Bi Xue Carp, but it didn't have the effect of enhancing one's spiritual roots after eating it.

Chen Mobai had heard that even in the Tianhe Realm, the famous dish of Bi Xue Carp was not something ordinary cultivators could afford.

Back then, Liu Lingpei bought fish fry for 1 spirit stone each, and after painstakingly raising them to the first-grade lower quality, he sold them in the market for 10 spirit stones each.

If you ordered this dish at the Tian Can Building in Nanxi Market, it would cost 50 spirit stones.

The reason it was so expensive was mainly because the dish, cooked by the Tian Can Building's master chef, could significantly increase the cultivation speed of water-attribute cultivators for a week after consumption.

Many people thought it was due to the chef's exceptional skills, but Chen Mobai knew that the main reason was the quality of the Bi Xue Carp itself. Cultivators in the Tianhe Realm didn't realize that the Bi Xue Carp could enhance water spiritual roots; they just considered it a precious ingredient.

Thinking about this, Chen Mobai felt a pang of regret. The Bi Xue Carp he had eaten in the Water Mansion, even at cost price, had already cost him several hundred spirit stones.

But then he thought again, breeding Bi Xue Carp was a unique skill of the Liu family in Yun Country. If he went to Nanxi Market to sell fish, he might be ambushed and killed by the Liu family the next day.

So, eating it himself seemed to be the best choice.

The black sturgeon was also a specialty of Yunmeng Marsh, with tender meat. Chen Mobai had tried it in his wooden house, and even when simply boiled, he could finish the fish soup.

Today, the owner's family recipe combined with the delicious fish from the Tianhe Realm was so good that even Yan Bingxuan, who usually cared about her appearance, couldn't resist eating with her mouth full of oil after just one bite.

Chen Mobai was a bit slow with his chopsticks and saw that the three girls had only left him some side dishes and fish bones.

Fortunately, he had considered Qingnv's appetite and brought two fish this time. When the owner brought the second one, he didn't hesitate and grabbed the most tender piece, taking a bite under the cold stares of the three girls.

Delicious!

After finishing the grilled fish, the three girls began to clean themselves up with a cleaning spell.

"This restaurant is great; we can come back next time."

Yan Bingxuan thought it was due to the owner's skills, but Qingnv immediately explained that it was because of the quality of the ingredients Chen Mobai had brought.

Mosimin looked at the two girls and suddenly kicked Chen Mobai. He looked at her in confusion, and the class president immediately signaled him to speak and end the gathering. She was afraid that staying longer might lead to some unexpected situations.

Chen Mobai also planned to return to the Tianhe Realm to continue honing his combat skills, so he went along with her suggestion and said they would meet again next time.

"By the way, this is the first-grade upper quality Qi-supplementing elixir I refined recently."

Before they left, Qingnv suddenly took out twelve glass tubes tied together from her bag. The colorless, transparent elixir inside made Chen Mobai smile.

"Thank you, without this, my cultivation progress has slowed down a lot recently."

After earning money in Yunmeng Marsh, Chen Mobai bought 10 sets of the main ingredients for refining Qi-supplementing elixir from the Four Qi Pavilion branch in Qingguang Island. He also bought some used spirit stones and returned to Deyuan Star to give them to Qingnv, while also buying some talismans online.

With the same main and auxiliary ingredients, if used to refine first-grade upper quality Qi-supplementing elixir, only ten tubes could be produced at most.

However, the market price was much higher, with the flagship store of the Immortal Sect selling it for 1000 merit points per tube.

After reaching the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, Chen Mobai found that the first-grade middle quality Qi-supplementing elixir only increased his cultivation efficiency by two to three times, so he didn't find it very useful. Previously, Qingnv's success rate in refining was only 10%, but with his ample supply of raw materials and the addition of spirit essence, she finally crossed that threshold.

"Now my success rate is around 70-80%. If the ingredients are sufficient, I should be able to refine 100 tubes for you before I go to the Goumang Dao Academy, enough for you to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation."

As Qingnv said this, she pushed the twelve tubes of first-grade upper quality Qi-supplementing elixir on the table towards Chen Mobai, her eyes full of smiles.

"Perfect, I just bought another 10 sets of ingredients online. You can come with me to get them. Class President, Yan Bingxuan, we'll be going now."

Chen Mobai greeted them with a wave as Mosimin stared at him in disbelief, then happily left with Qingnv.

"How can he be so bold!!"

After Chen Mobai left, Mosimin couldn't help but scream. She had never seen such an insensitive man.

"We should go too, or we'll miss the bus."

Yan Bingxuan stood up calmly, showing no signs of inner turmoil.

"Aren't you angry at all? If I could, I would definitely teach him a lesson today."

Mosimin was deeply affected, breathing rapidly as she followed Yan Bingxuan, cursing all the while.

"What's the matter? You don't really think we're dating, do you? We've said it's just a classmate relationship."

Yan Bingxuan sighed, interrupting her friend's rant.

"Even if we're just classmates, how can he invite another girl to dinner? Even if she's his girlfriend, what's the point? Is he showing off?"

Yan Bingxuan felt that Mosimin's thoughts were off. It was just a meal, and inviting a friend to join made it more lively. Besides, Chen Mobai had said Qingnv was just a good friend.

What's wrong with inviting another girl?

You're a girl too!

Mosimin was shocked by Yan Bingxuan's logic. She thought about Chen Mobai and felt that she might be the most abnormal one among them.

It's true, people with similar thoughts do attract each other.

After realizing this, Mosimin immediately shut up.

You two can have your activities without me. If I join your group a few more times, my worldview and thoughts will probably be shattered and reshaped.

But Qingnv seems like a normal person. Was she trying to attract Chen Mobai's attention on purpose just now?

What a pity, such a good natural spiritual root, how could she fall for him?
