Chapter 1296: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child_2 Chapter 1296: Chapter 712 Saint Land Taoist Child_2 Watching Lan Youxiang leave in a hurry, Yu Hai also felt a sense of empathy.
When he first met these two at the entrance of the Large-scale Transmission Array in Golden Crow Immortal City, he was equally astonished.
Ye Qing’s name was well known throughout the East Land.
At his birth, the Pure Bamboo Corn of the Demon Slaying Sect shone up to the heavens, eliciting the esteemed Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) to descend from the mountain.
At the age of eight, he was taken to the Holy Land, began his Food Cultivation immortal pursuit, and by eighteen had reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and established his foundation upon hearing the path. Afterwards, he travelled down the mountain, slayed twenty-four Devil Cultivators with his sword, and destroyed countless wicked demon sects.
In his fiftieth year, he encountered a Golden Core Demon Cultivator massacring mortals to refine the Myriad Souls Flag and resolutely drew his sword to intervene.
In the midst of the battle, he comprehended the pill formation, utilized his Flying Sword to draw down the Heavenly Tribulation to slay the devil cultivator, and was heralded as the first in swordsmanship talent in a thousand years of the East Land.
After forming his Gold Core, Ye Qing assumed the role of the Taoist Child of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, and before the age of one hundred, had already reached Perfect Core Formation. He once challenged the Saint Heir of Tongyou Demon Sect at Tianzhu Peak, defeating him within a hundred moves. If not for the blasphemous intervention by a Nascent Soul Elder from the Tongyou Demon Sect, the latter would likely have perished by Ye Qing’s sword.
Those in the Eastern Region who knew of Ye Qing believed that his “Nascent Soul Formation” was merely a matter of time.
Some even exclaimed that he possessed the “Qualification of Deification”.
Such a person, why would he come to the rural Eastern Wilderness?
Shen Shanqing heard from Lan Youxiang that Ye Qing had arrived here and was also shocked to the core. He immediately put down his pan without even changing his clothes, and went right out to the main hall.
“True Monarch Ye gracing our North Abyss branch of the Sky Meal Building truly brings honor to our humble establishment. Come, come, to the fifth floor. I’ll prepare a fine table for you.”
As a True Disciple of the Sky Meal Building, even though Shen Shanqing was no longer favored due to his master’s Passing Away in Meditation, having been kicked to start the expansion in the Eastern Wilderness, he had seen the world on the other side and warmly greeted them as they headed for the topmost level.
Ye Qing preferred not to be the center of attention in public and thus nodded his head, following Shen Shanqing upstairs.
After the group had gone up, Qi Rui, who was dining at the Sky Meal Building, put down his wine glass and frowned slightly.
Others might not know Shen Shanqing’s status, but how could he be unaware?
In all of Northern Abyss City, probably only if the Sect Leader arrived would he personally come out to receive them.
Previously, when Chen Mobai visited, he had accompanied him here to entertain guests at the Sky Meal Building, and it was on that occasion that Qi Rui learned Shen Shanqing was the true person in charge of the establishment.
Yet even then, Shen Shanqing had not displayed such eagerness to please.
Who was this youth, and where did he come from?
Was he a Golden Core Cultivator from a major sect in the East Land?
Qi Rui recalled sitting on the third floor just moments before, looking towards Ye Qing in the center of the main hall, and the very instant their gazes met, he felt a chilling, hair-raising sensation, knowing this person’s cultivation level far exceeded his own.
A new Golden Core could have no small impact on the situation in the Eastern Wilderness.
Could he be an ancestral elder invited from the East Land by the Snow-blowing Palace?
With this thought in mind, Qi Rui could no longer eat. He immediately settled the bill and left Sky Meal Building, heading straight for the grand hall of Northern Abyss City.
At this time, Chen Mobai was conversing with E Yun.
After hearing Qi Rui’s report, Chen Mobai’s brows slightly raised.
“It’s just about mealtime, let’s dine at the Sky Meal Building today.”
As the lord of Northern Abyss City, it was necessary for Chen Mobai to investigate the origins of an unknown high-order cultivator.
Having constructed the Underworld Array, even if he encountered Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was confident he could escape, so he directly made his way to the Sky Meal Building.
The Sky Meal Building had a total of five floors, with the fifth floor reserved for the most esteemed guests who could enjoy the view of most of Northern Abyss City.
With Chen Mobai’s status, a visit would certainly mean ascending to the fifth floor.
Seeing Chen Mobai, Lan Youxiang could only wipe the sweat from his forehead and lead them up to another private room on the fifth floor.
There were four private rooms on the fifth floor named after the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum flowers, each overlooking different views of Northern Abyss City.
“The bamboo room is the Sect Leader’s favorite.”
E Yun, seeing the word ‘mei’ (plum) at the entrance, frowned and looked at Lan Youxiang, indicating that they should change rooms, but Chen Mobai raised his hand to stop him.
“Just this room.”
Although the Five Elements Sect is now the dominator of the Eastern Wilderness, and they have Zhou Shengqing, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Chen Mobai did not become arrogant. He knew that on the East Land side, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Aside from the Holy Lands, there were over a hundred forces that had produced Nascent Soul cultivators, many of which they, the Five Elements Sect, could not afford to provoke.
“Is Chef Shen not here today?”
Within the private room, Lan Youxiang, acting as the shopkeeper, personally attended to Chen Mobai, who smiled and asked.
“He’s here, he’s here, he’s here, but there are guests next door who need attending to. I’ll go inform him in a moment, so that when he’s free, he can come and drink a couple of glasses with Sect Master Chen.”
Lan Youxiang was aware of Ye Qing’s identity and knew that the Saint Land Taoist Child coming to the backcountry of the Eastern Wilderness must signify a grand affair, so he did not dare to disclose any information.
Chen Mobai’s specifically choosing this time to come here was quite obviously aimed at Ye Qing.
However, Sky Meal Building was a power with Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in the East Land and thus was not very afraid of the East Wilderness Major Sect. Comparing the two, Lan Youxiang became increasingly poised when facing Chen Mobai.
Before long, a series of grand dishes began being served by beautiful female cultivators.
Although limited by various seasonings, the culinary level of Sky Meal Building was, in Chen Mobai’s view, just so-so. However, their carefully selected meat, spiritual vegetables, melons, and fruits, many of which were unique to the Tianhe Realm, meant that whenever Chen Mobai had the time, he would still enjoy coming here for a taste.
Of course, he liked to bring his own drinks whenever he ate out.
After all the dishes were served, Chen Mobai took out a jug of Zhuo Ming’s elaborately brewed Spiritual Wine from his Storage Bag. It was made using Rank-3 Pure Bamboo Corn as the raw material and was the first Rank-3 Spiritual Wine ever brewed in the Eastern Wilderness.
After brewing, it had been cellared for twelve years and had reached maturity last year.
After the cask was opened, Chen Mobai naturally was the first to taste it. He found this Rank-3 Spiritual Wine had a crisp taste with a hint of bamboo dew fragrance and also could enhance Divine Sense.
After partaking in six jugs, Chen Mobai had barely managed to increase the intensity of his Divine Consciousness to that of the Jindan Sixth Layer, but afterwards, even more drinking ceased to be effective.
Now, for Chen Mobai, this wine could only satisfy his taste buds.
However, for E Yun and Qi Rui, it was an unparalleled treasure.
Considering their cultivation level was merely at Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai only poured them each a glass.
Yet even so, after they drank it, they both had to close their eyes to savor the refreshing qi emerging from the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion and began to sit in meditation to refine it.
After a short while, Shen Shanqing arrived, and the first thing he did was apologize.
“Sect Master Chen, please don’t be offended. A good friend of my master from the East Land came over… I’ll punish myself with three drinks…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai smiled and poured him a glass first. Shen Shanqing knew that the brew from the Xiao Nanshan Lineage was the first in the Eastern Wilderness, even their Sky Meal Building would go to purchase it.
Thinking the Spiritual Wine was a new variety, Shen Shanqing also took a sniff and then drank it down boldly.
After finishing the drink, his face did not change as he put down the cup, and Chen Mobai smiled and refilled it for him.
After three consecutive glasses, Shen Shanqing’s expression changed slightly. He then directly sat cross-legged on the ground and, like E Yun and Qi Rui before him, began to process the strength of the liquor.
Although Sky Meal Building practices the art of Food Cultivation, consuming all kinds of spiritual delicacies, melting them into a Great Method.
But three full glasses of Rank-3 Spiritual Wine for someone merely at Foundation Establishment like Shen Shanqing was a bit too much.
After the time of an incense stick had passed.
Chen Mobai could feel a Divine Sense probing over from the next bamboo room, clearly curious why Shen Shanqing had not returned for so long.
However, that Divine Sense was only at the Foundation Establishment level.
Chen Mobai dipped his finger in the wine and casually drew a Restriction to isolate Divine Sense, blocking it from coming through.
Not long after, there was a knock at the door.
“Please come in!”
Chen Mobai’s voice sounded, followed by Lan Youxiang and an elderly cultivator entering.
Seeing Shen Shanqing seated with a flushed face, their expressions changed slightly, thinking that Chen Mobai was taking his anger out on Shen Shanqing due to the matter with the private room.
Yu Hai saw this scene and immediately sent a message to Ye Qing next door.
Then, a bone-piercingly chill Sword Intent surged out from the bamboo room…
