The news rapidly spread like wildfire, with everyone extolling the virtues of the Butterfly Pavilion's sacred rice, paired with the spiritual food, for enhancing cultivation and facilitating breakthroughs.
As a result, the entire capital was abuzz with excitement.
Numerous heads of prestigious families strained their resources to acquire this Holy Rice, but unfortunately, even Shopkeeper Hu had none in stock.
Not only that, but several factions of noble families covertly dispatched agents to the Butterfly Pavilion in hopes of uncovering the secret behind the sacred rice.
However, their efforts ended in disappointment.
The Butterfly Pavilion depleted its daily supplies of vegetables, fruits, and rice, leaving nothing amiss for those who conducted clandestine investigations.
Returning home empty-handed only piqued their curiosity further about the Holy Rice and Spirit-infused Vegetables and Fruits.
