Chapter 1922: Chapter 1922: I Don’t Have Any Red Crystals for You!

”Damn it, red crystal, red crystal... where can I find a red crystal?”

Ye Haochuan walked along the street, looking at the hotels by the roadside, listening to the ”grr grr” sounds from his stomach, and couldn’t help but sigh, ”A penny can baffle a hero, a tiny red crystal is baffling me, those ancient folks weren’t lying!”

In this world, money isn’t everything, but without money, nothing can get done. Some hate it, some love it, and some would live or die for it.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan was racking his brains for a red crystal, or more accurately, he was racking his brains to fill his belly.

The Rule Power of the Immortal Realm is incredibly strong, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage are just like regular folks in the Lower Realm, feeling hunger and fatigue.

In the Lower Realm, the Spiritual Energy in his body could help replenish his daily needs.

But here in the Immortal Realm, because the Rule Power is so strong, the effectiveness of Spiritual Energy has reduced a lot, no longer preventing hunger.

And now his Spiritual Energy is completely insufficient to replenish his body’s consumption, so he must supplement his energy needs externally.

In his mind, he had already cursed that gray-clothed cultivator to death.

Hell, the guy was at least an Immortal Transformation Cultivator, yet his ring didn’t even hold a single red crystal.

”Damn it, should I find a secluded spot and become a greenwood hero?”

Ye Haochuan rubbed his shriveled belly, his eyes gleaming with greenish light as he discreetly scanned his surroundings.

However, this idea only lasted for a second. Not to mention whether he could bring himself to commit robbery, even if he could, at least the surrounding people were all Nascent Soul Stage beings. Causing public outrage would definitely end him.

Ye Haochuan helplessly rolled his eyes and headed towards the roadside bushes, his stomach really couldn’t take it anymore, so he decided to pull some grass to temporarily relieve himself.

”What are you doing?”

Just when Ye Haochuan sneakily approached a secluded patch of grass, an old lady appeared, looking at him warily, ”No peeing or pooping allowed here!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan immediately covered his face and fled. He, the dignified Alliance Master of Long Alliance, couldn’t endure the hunger anymore, wanted to eat some leaves and grass, yet was mistaken for wanting to pee or poop on the spot...

”Damn it, am I going to starve to death in the street just as I arrive in the Immortal Realm?”

Ye Haochuan, feeling utterly hopeless, leaned against the street edge, moving slowly forward, stopped dead in his tracks upon catching whiffs of a tantalizing aroma.

In front of him appeared a snack shop, selling a greenish-blue thin pancake, with the owner having set up a stand at the entrance.

Thin pancakes lay flat on an oval iron stand, which looked fiery red. Without needing anyone to tell him, Ye Haochuan knew the iron’s temperature must be scalding.

Waves of enticing aroma wafted exactly from the contact point between the iron and the pancakes, and suddenly energy surged within Ye Haochuan, driving him to stand beside those pancakes in no time.

”Sir, would you like to buy pancakes? They’re very cheap, just one red crystal for two!”

The shop owner, engrossed in spreading batter, suddenly sensed someone appearing at the counter, then lifted his face that smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, looking at Ye Haochuan.

”Uh... well...”

Ye Haochuan instantly showed difficulty. If he had a red crystal, would he still be standing here coveting those tempting pancakes without reaching out to grab one?

”Broke guy... not even a red crystal... get away, get away... hurry up and scram, you’re affecting my business!”

Seeing Ye Haochuan like that, the owner’s face changed immediately, and reaching out, he pulled out a rolling pin, pointed it at Ye Haochuan’s nose, and started ranting.

Not even willing to let me smell it, how stingy! Damn it!

Ye Haochuan, feeling helpless, continued to move forward with a weary heart, as one dangerous thought after another fired off from his mind, though he forcibly suppressed them all.

”Hmm? Such fragrant wine!”

Ye Haochuan suddenly smelled a whiff of wine fragrance, which was so rich that just smelling it alleviated half of his hunger.

”Damn, this wine must be top-notch, definitely better than the superb wine Senior Chu gave!”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes shone intensely as he trailed this lingering wine aroma step by step until he reached a winery.

This winery looked a bit old, obviously a well-established one. The sign at the entrance bore big characters.

”Legendary Brewery.”

Ye Haochuan read the words, took two deep breaths to inhale the aroma, and immediately felt half of his hunger dissipate.

”Dear customer, are you buying wine? Our Legendary Brewery’s Supreme Penglai Liquor is renowned in the neighborhood!”

Seeing Ye Haochuan stand at the shop door, a person looking like the boss approached with a big smile, addressing Ye Haochuan, ”Our wine uses the finest ingredients for processing.

Not to mention, the wine’s processing involves six steps, thirty-seven procedures, each with very stringent requirements.”

”Hmm hmm...”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t really listen to what the boss was saying. He slightly closed his eyes, his nose twitching to suck in the wine fragrance.

Letting the aroma slide along his nostrils, gliding onto his palate, then spreading down his esophagus and finally reaching his stomach.

Immediately, a warm feel spread from his stomach, even the hunger tormenting him was eased a lot by this wine fragrance.

”Hehe.”

Seeing Ye Haochuan like that didn’t annoy the boss. Instead, he laughed happily and turned back into the shop, leaving Ye Haochuan alone there, twitching his nose.

”Hmm, what’s going on?”

Ye Haochuan realized the wine aroma suddenly thickened a thousand times, prompting him to open his eyes, looking towards the aroma source.

He was stunned to see the boss holding a wine cup before him, smiling and saying, ”Buddy, have a taste; only when drunk can you appreciate its true flavor, just sniffing won’t tell you anything.”

Ye Haochuan didn’t expect the boss to serve him a cup of wine directly, but being financially embarrassed, he could only decline repeatedly, sighing, ”Boss, I don’t have any red crystal.”
