After a period of communication, Luo Yunshi learned a lot about the Cang Ling Realm, gaining considerable knowledge and discovering something interesting.
It seemed that for some unknown reason, these two influential figures mistook her for a hidden celestial being from the upper realm descending to handle affairs.
Of course, this was her own deduction.
However, she was not foolish enough to ask or explain.
Being regarded as an influential figure was rather good; perhaps using the identity of a hidden powerhouse to open a shop in this cultivation world would lead to fewer troubles.
After all, the cultivation world revered strength.
Thus, a peculiar unspoken understanding formed between Luo Yunshi and Lu Daoyang and his companions.
Lu Daoyang, Ye Wang, and others: We know you are a powerful being, but rest assured, we won't expose you.
Luo Yunshi: I know you regard me as a powerful being, but rest assured, I won't explain. (≖‿≖)✧
In a small private room of the fast-food restaurant.
Several dishes, along with cups of milk tea and fruit juice, were laid out on the dining table.
"Haha, Daoist friend Luo, since you are interested in artifact refining, talisman crafting, and formations, you are welcome to join our Zixiao Sect. Zixiao Sect always welcomes you," Lu Daoyang said enthusiastically.
"Wan Jian Sect also welcomes Daoist friend Luo. Feel free to contact me for any matters," Ye Wang added.
Are these two great figures joking? Contact you? How would I contact you?
Luo Yunshi gave an awkward smile. "I don't have any communication devices for this realm."
Lu Daoyang and the other two were surprised for a moment, then understood.
Generally, cultivators in the Cang Ling Realm carried communication talismans. They would at least carry a few low-level talismans, even if communication was slow. Compared to communication jade slips, communication talismans consumed less spiritual energy, making them more practical in the current Cang Ling Realm.
But they had forgotten. The person before them was not from the Cang Ling Realm.
Indeed, how could someone from the Immortal Realm use items from the cultivation world? However, this powerful being was so approachable, and inquiring might not be an issue; perhaps they could even gain some insights from it.
With this thought, Lu Daoyang smiled and asked,
"May I ask what Daoist friend Luo usually uses for communication?"
Luo Yunshi had conversed with them and did not hide the fact that she was not from this realm.
Moreover, even if she didn't say it, others would likely notice her attire, demeanor, and lack of knowledge about the Cang Ling Realm after some time, unless they were exceptionally foolish.
Therefore, Luo Yunshi frankly replied, "I used a mobile phone before, and now I use a photonic computer."
Hmm? Shǒujī? Guāngnǎo? What are those?
Lu Daoyang and the other two looked at Luo Yunshi with confusion.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi used terms they could understand to roughly explain to the three.
"You can think of a mobile phone as a magical artifact. It can be used without inputting spiritual energy. However, when its energy runs out, it requires a special type of energy. Mobile phones can make calls, send messages, and access the internet. The internet has everything; it contains a vast network of information, all sorts of knowledge, and you can find anything you need very quickly.
Mobile phones can also check the weather, play games, and allow you to shop without leaving home, with items delivered to your doorstep.
You can see scenery and people from places you haven't visited. All major news can be seen on it. It also contains books, comics, movies, allows you to listen to music, and... in short, it has many functions.
As for a photonic computer... it can be understood as an advanced version of a mobile phone, even more powerful..."
Lu Daoyang, Ye Wang, and Qi Yiyang's faces showed identical expressions of shock (꒪Д꒪), momentarily speechless.
Good heavens! This... this... this... this is too powerful!
It doesn't require spiritual energy and needs special energy. Special energy must be immortal energy, right?
As expected, the Immortal Realm is different! Even a mere communication device is so elaborate. How envious!
Luo Yunshi's explanation gave the three a slight, self-perceived understanding of the Immortal Realm.
As a result, Lu Daoyang, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, did not discover the so-called mobile phones and photonic computers. Upon learning that the Immortal Realm was divided into many realms, his earnest cultivation, his research into mobile phones and photonic computers through formations, talismans, and other means, and his subsequent rise to the pinnacle of his life in the Immortal Realm, will be discussed later.
At this moment, Lu Daoyang and the others yearned even more for the Immortal Realm.
Lu Daoyang took out a palm-sized jade token from his storage ring and handed it to Ye Wang.
Ye Wang understood, then formed a hand seal and pointed at the jade token before handing it to Luo Yunshi.
Lu Daoyang said with a smile,
"Since Daoist friend Luo doesn't have a communication talisman, please accept this communication jade slip. It can be used by injecting spiritual energy into it. It contains our contact information, so Daoist friend Luo can contact us anytime if you have matters."
On the very first day of opening a shop in the cultivation world, she already had the contact information of top influential figures. Perhaps this jade slip would prove useful someday.
With this thought, Luo Yunshi smiled and accepted the jade slip.
"Alright, thank you. I'll gladly accept. I see you are both at the verge of advancement. Haoyunlai has a simulation training room; you might find it helpful to experience it."
"Simulation training room? We were planning to do just that. We'll experience it shortly," Lu Daoyang replied with a smile.
Luo Yunshi chatted with Lu Daoyang and the other two for a while longer. Seeing that it was past eight o'clock, she escorted the three to the entrance of the simulation training room, then, with a thought, went to the interstellar post-apocalyptic shop to start a live broadcast.
She prepared a Jianbing Guozi filled with shredded potatoes, shrimp, chicken strips, and Weilong spicy strips, a fruit platter, and a bowl of pumpkin porridge.
After inputting the pre-set prices on the replication machine, she chatted with her livestream fans for a while before ending the broadcast.
Afterward, she purchased a certain amount of vegetables and fruits from Tuan Tuan You Xuan, completed a transaction with the Central Alliance, and then stocked the spirit-infused fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets of the modern post-apocalyptic and ancient post-apocalyptic worlds before returning to the Cang Ling Realm Haoyunlai shop.
Indeed, the Cang Ling Realm was better; the spiritual energy was dense!
At this moment, there were no customers in the Haoyunlai fast-food restaurant.
Luo Yunshi did not check rooms or hotels. Seeing that there was no one within the protected area, she directly asked Xing Xing.
"Where are the customers?"
"After that Daoist friend Tang finished eating with his disciples, he browsed the shop, bought some things, and returned to his room to cultivate. They mentioned that a large group of disciples from their sect would be coming to the shop later," Xing Xing explained.
Luo Yunshi nodded and found a table near the counter.
A glass of watermelon juice, a fried egg, a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a palm-sized Jianbing Guozi, a small platter of four dishes including cold cuts, and a small portion of fruit salad were arranged on the table.
She listened to music, ate breakfast, and looked relaxed.
After breakfast, as no customers had arrived yet, Luo Yunshi asked Xing Xing to watch the shop while she, accompanied by Xing Yi and Dali, took a silver interstellar hovercar towards Tianyi City, the largest and closest city to Haoyunlai.
She intended to buy a few beautiful dresses for female cultivators.
No spirit stones, no spirit coins?
No problem.
She could sell the useless elixirs or snacks she obtained from the lottery, and at the same time, attract customers for Haoyunlai, making the outing worthwhile.
