Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 171 - Fill the Stomach

The reason Yao Han was able to conclude that a great war was inevitable was that in the conflict in the Jade Treasure City, it turned out to take its toll on the part of the white and neutral generation of young cultivators who were meeting there.

There were no deaths, only wounded, but the injuries they suffered were fatal and almost claimed lives. The only ones who were completely unharmed from the conflict were the younger generation from the Northern Ice Fortress side.

The Jade Treasure Tower as the organizer of the Young Cultivator Meeting in the Jade Treasure City had already prepared a special security, but the existence of the small entourage of the Moon Cloud Sect there could not be counted at all. It was more difficult to have to recognize one by one the people who entered the Jade Treasure City, even though they were the overseers of that city.

Especially within that small entourage were the special forces members of the Moon Cloud Sect that many sects feared and had hidden abilities. The conflict caused chaos and caused the Jade Treasure Tower to suffer some losses and pressure from various parties.

Zhao Yi did not say the number or anyone who was in that small entourage of the Moon Cloud Sect, but Yao Han already knew about it since he had already met them.

"Manager Zhao, this war will definitely spread to the territory of the Green Forest Country, what is the plan of the Jade Treasure Tower to overcome this?"

"Ah, for that one I don't know yet. It is possible that the center will not tell every store manager, because this is very sensitive and is definitely managed by important officials of the Jade Treasure Tower. I'm sure the higher-ups will try their best because your teacher delivered a warning message to us through Manager Fu."

"Hm? What did my teacher say?"

"I forgot the exact sentence, but the point is most likely that your teacher will intervene again like during the war twenty years ago if the big war this time to spread to the territory of the Green Forest Country and the sects involved in the war will later receive the consequences."

Yao Han was silent as he scratched his non-itchy cheeks. He did not understand the way his first teacher thought at all. Meanwhile, Bing Lizi laughed out loud as if hearing something funny.

"The Jade Treasure Tower has always been a neutral party every time a war occurs, but this big war makes them stronger choices because they are worried about being the victim of Brother Feng's tantrums. Ahaha!"

More or less Yao Han and the Dimensional Pagoda residents agreed with Bing Lizi. After getting the details of the story from Zhao Yi, Yao Han shifted the subject by asking for something else.

"Manager Zhao, is this here selling rare magic plants?"

"The Jade Treasure Shop that was in the ten largest cultivator cities of the Green Forest Country did not always have a stockpile of rare resources, there were only a few. What magic plant do you want to buy?"

"The Rainbow Orchid Flower of the Soul."

Zhao Yi immediately frowned upon hearing the name of the foreign magic plant he was inking.

"The Rainbow Orchid Flower of Soul... Wait a minute, I'll ask the supplies."

Yao Han waited for a moment, while Zhao Yi took out a voice jade to contact his workers at the supply section.

"Sorry, Brother Yao, our shop does not have those rare flowers. Looks like it includes a very rare flower and only this time I heard it."

"All right, I get it."

"Is this flower really important to you?"

"It can be said that, but not an urgent need. Actually it doesn't matter if there's only seedlings, I can wait until the flowers are ready to be harvested."

Zhao Yi offered to help with which he would contact the Jade Treasure Tower to inquire about information about the Soul Rainbow Orchid Flower.

"Thank you, Manager Zhao. Sorry to bother you."

"Then I leave first, Manager Zhao. I'll go somewhere else and come back here later."

"Eh, which place do you want to go?"

"Nagarasa Restaurant, I want to fill my stomach."

Zhao Yi laughed softly, as she wanted to deliver Yao Han forward, Yao Han prevented her from attracting any unnecessary attention.

After Yao Han left the Jade Treasure Shop, Zhao Yi told the guards not to levy any incoming taxes on Yao Han and did not forget to mention his physical features.

***

This was the second time Yao Han had come to Nagarasa Restaurant, a cultivator-specific dining venue. Yao Han still remembered the delicious taste that was very nutritious from every food menu served Nagarasa Restaurant.

The first floor was quite crowded, so Yao Han chose to eat on the second floor filled with several people.

"Welcome to Nagarasa Restaurant. Young Master, what do you want to eat?" One of the male servants approached Yao Han while thrusting out a menu list on the second floor.

Yao Han only glanced at the menu at a glance before saying he wanted to order the entire second-floor menu. Each one was one serving, but he would only eat three and the rest would be taken after finishing his meal.

The waiter pegged for a moment, "I understand, but Young Master has to pay half of the total price of all these foods first. This is our rule."

Yao Han did not feel any objections. Half the price Yao Han had to pay was two hundred ordinary spirit stones. Yao Han took out two blue spirit stones. The servant briefly held his breath as Yao Han easily took out that much treasure for the size of a youngster.

There was no need to wait for a long time, the three-menu order came and Yao Han finished his meal quickly. Then he went to the cashier to take another order and pay the rest.

"The taste of the cultivator chef of Nagarasa Restaurant never disappoints." Yao Han stroked his full stomach as he walked back to the Jade Treasure Shop.

There was no longer any need to pay the entrance tax and Yao Han was immediately approached by the same working girl when he entered the Jade Treasure Shop of the Snow Fox City branch the first time.

The girl already knew Yao Han's true identity, so she kept her attitude much better which astonished Yao Han. The girl escorted Yao Han to the highest floor to meet Zhao Yi.

"The information I received, there were only two shops that had this rare flower. Shops in Jade Treasure City and Spring City. I suggest you go to Spring City."

Yao Han could understand the reason behind Zhao Yi's suggestion. The heated situation made it unsafe for Yao Han to go to Jade Treasure City. Spring City itself is the second largest city in the Land of Green Forests.

"Manager Zhao, I want to ask for a little help."
