đź“– Chapter 1334 - Master Icespirit
Throughout the night, there were very few people in Tongue’s Desire City who could remain calm.
The battle of mincemeat acolytes that took place that night shocked the whole city. Master Cloudridge, a veteran mincemeat acolyte backing the Bloodscale Restaurant, had been easily suppressed by some unknown person.
Moreover, the process of the battle had been completely straightforward. In the face of a stronger law of desire, Master Cloudridge had been taken out in a single blow. All his power of law had been devoured by his opponent, and he had been reduced to a cold corpse.
This incident caused a commotion in all directions, making the cultivators of Tongue’s Desire City feel their hearts tremble. All of them felt a strong sense of awe at the newly risen mincemeat acolyte.
Although Tongue’s Desire City was chaotic and followed the law of the jungle, this new mincemeat acolyte’s unrestrained and savage way of doing things still inspired fear.
Even the other mincemeat acolytes were also the same, placing great importance on this new compatriot of theirs.
All of this wasn’t even mentioning the fact that two Gluttony Lords had made their move. One had wanted to punish the newly-risen mincemeat acolyte, while the other had protected him. Although these were just two simple movements, each and every movement of a Gluttony Lord was enough to shake the heavens and shatter the earth. Even if they merely exchanged blows over a distance, it still made all of Tongue’s Desire City tremble.
But compared to the rest of the city, the ones who were truly stunned were the female manager and the other employees in Wang Baole’s shop. The shock in their hearts was like a giant wave threatening to drown them completely.
They already knew that their boss was formidable, but they never expected he would be this powerful. Not only had he easily slain an enemy mincemeat acolyte, he had even caused Gluttony Lords to take action.
The employees had been observing Wang Baole closely ever since he left, and what they saw made their hearts tremble. Now, as Wang Baole’s figure reappeared on the street and walked step by step toward them, the eight people’s eyes filled with fanaticism. Even though Wang Baole was still far away, they all walked out of the shop and bowed down in worship.
Ignoring the eight people prostrating outside the shop, Wang Baole walked inside and went up to the second floor. After the door to the residential area closed, the eight employees lifted their heads. Each of them showed clear excitement and anticipation.
“We’re gonna make it big!”
All of them were breathing rapidly, exchanging glances and seeing the delight in each other’s eyes. They knew that from now on… the demand for Ice Spirit Water would skyrocket, and their shops would explode in popularity.
As they rose up, the matters regarding their boss would definitely become a hot topic in Tongue’s Desire City. Thinking to this point, the female manager’s eyes flickered, and she quickly turned around and went back into the shop. Walking up the stairs, she knelt down outside Wang Baole’s room and spoke in a soft voice.
“Boss, if someone asks for your name, what should I tell them?”
The female manager had thought things through. Previously, it hadn’t mattered whether they knew Wang Baole’s name or not. But from now on, Wang Baole needed a name they could tell to outsiders. This would not only make it easier for him to rise up, but would also help with the shop’s advertisement.
A few moments later, Wang Baole’s voice echoed out.
“Master Icespirit. Also, I want you to send a thousand bottles of Ice Spirit Water to Gluttony Lord Zhou Huo’s mansion tomorrow.”
Hearing this, the female manager immediately nodded and left, calling the other employees in to start discussing. Over the past few days, they had realized that their boss didn’t want to bother taking care of every little thing, so almost everything related to the operation of the shop was left to them.
Just like that, the night passed and morning came. Today, thousands of cultivators were gathered outside the store. Some were normal customers who patronized the shop every day, but there were many who had come to offer greetings after the previous night’s incident.
Soon, the door of the shop opened, and the dwarf and the little fatty walked out. Rather than opening up for business immediately, they held their head high and took down the plaque. Then, pride clear on their faces, they put up a new one.
Turning back around, the two people seemed to have become infinitely taller. Their proud presence seemed to tower over the line of cultivators outside the shop.
At the same time, the crowd’s gazes all gathered on the new plaque, which was engraved with three majestic words.
Ice Spirit Pavilion!
These three words drew the attention of everyone outside. Although the little fatty standing at the door was still lacking one eye, his posture was extremely proud as he spoke.
“Starting today, Ice Spirit Pavilion will use a new method to sell Ice Spirit Water. It will no longer be first come, first served, but rather, we’ll be selling by lottery. Every hour, ten people will be selected.”
As soon as the little fatty finished speaking, the line outside was thrown into an uproar. Most people weren’t stupid, and they instantly understood that this method would make it more difficult for them to obtain Ice Spirit Water. At the same time, it would make Ice Spirit Pavilion even more famous.
After all, this selection-by-lottery would necessitate a line of people outside the shop at all times.
If the shop had done this even just yesterday, it would definitely provoke public outrage. But after last night’s battle, Ice Spirit Pavilion already possessed the qualification to use such a domineering method.
The little fatty turned around and walked back into the shop without paying the crowd any attention. Meanwhile, the dwarf quickly handed out number cards to the lined up cultivators as he chewed the eyeball in his mouth.
As time went by, the number of people lining up outside Ice Spirit Pavilion not only didn’t decrease but even increased instead. Meanwhile, with the employees deliberately spreading the word, the name of the pavilion’s boss gradually became known as well.
“Master Icespirit!”
“The new mincemeat acolyte is called Master Icespirit!”
The commotion going on outside the shop didn’t have any impact on Wang Baole. However, as the crowd increased in number and the method of selling Ice Spirit Water changed, the aura of tongue’s desire he received became richer and richer.
Wang Baole sat cross-legged on the second floor of the shop, the black crystal in his body shining brighter and brighter. Just like that, several more days passed.
Over the past few days, Ice Spirit Water had become a major sensation in Tongue’s Desire City. It was no longer limited to the east district; cultivators from all over the city came here every day. Although some people didn’t bother lining up, everyone who managed to get their hands on Ice Spirit Water was completely obsessed. Aside from the taste, Ice Spirit Water had incredible benefits for cultivation, making it the hottest new item in Tongue’s Desire City.
At the same time, Wang Baole’s Daoist name was spread far and wide, and he quickly rose to celebrity status. It was also around this time that Zhou Huo, one of the eight Gluttony Lords, sent a butler to personally deliver an invitation to Ice Spirit Pavilion.
Zhou Huo had invited Wang Baole to attend the Gluttony Festival in three days, as well as… a banquet later on.
