Soon, the bear paw and the fish were gone.
Everyone stopped. Gu Ziyu was still licking up the sauce. The leftover bones of his pals were in his hands. He intended to lick them clean, too.
“Yum, yummy! This is definitely the best meal I’ve ever had!”
“This is the life! What more can you ask for than a great meal.”
“Heavenly food! Can’t trade that with anything, not even becoming Immortal!”
The four ladies patted their bellies, satisfied with the food and drinks. They shut their eyes and smacked their lips as if they were reminiscing the meal they just had.
Li Nianfan chuckled and said, “Back where I come from, the Bear Paw, Leopard, Chimpanzee Lips, Dragon Liver, Phoenix Elixir, Carp Tail, and the Crispy Cicada are known as the ‘Eight Rare Delicacies’. Naturally, it tastes good.”
He did not mean anything when he casually said it, but they thought otherwise.
Gu Ziyao went stiff and felt his skin crawl.
Dragon Liver, Phoenix Elixir?
They confirmed that the expert came from the Immortal Land, not from the ordinary Immortal Realm. Otherwise, how could he define Dragon Liver and Phoenix Elixir as delicacies?
Then, they thought of ‘Journey to the West’.
During the Flat Peach Feast in the Heavenly Temple, they had Dragon Liver and Phoenix Elixir as meals, right?
Bigshot! He was a bigshot!
Hold up!
‘Why did Mr. Li tell us that?’
Everyone felt their hearts race in excitement.
Since the expert mentioned it, did it mean that there was a chance they could taste Dragon Liver and Phoenix Elixir in the future?
Gasp—
They almost fainted from excitement.
They could not think about it. They had to stay calm. They did not want to pass out.
Everyone rested for a while. Gu Ziyao brought Li Nianfan to other areas of Azure Ville, showing him the local culture. Li Nianfan got to see the Azure Ville disciples training in cultivation, giving him a deeper insight into cultivators.
It was getting dark.
Gu Ziyao felt nervous. She asked meekly, “Mr. Li, there’s a lot of resting stops here. Why don’t you stay for the night?”
Li Nianfan groaned. “This... I’ll be a disturbance.”
Azure Ville was beautiful and had an abundance of friendly, polite cultivators. They were nice and pretty. He was offered to stay for free. These reasons made him want to accept the offer.
Gu Ziyao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “No, it’s not a disturbance at all. We’ve already prepared your room, so feel free to stay if you want.”
“Alright, then, I’ll stay. Thanks for the hospitality!” Li Nianfan smiled at the passionate young lady.
His room was near the palace. It was a cottage yard filled with grass and florals. It looked like a top-notch scenery painting.
The sun set as the birds stopped chirping. Darkness covered the sky like a curtain, revealing the pale moon.
Owls passed by occasionally, perching on the branches.
Creak...
Daji walked out of the room in a white dress. She looked up at the moon as if she were the Moon Goddess.
‘Master, Daji will carry out her task perfectly!’
She flew up fast and disappeared into the night.
The Northside of the Immortal Realm was known as the Northland.
Northland was in a state of poverty in comparison to the Southern areas. The resources were limited and it was run by several powerful families. The resources went to the rich, which added to the poverty. It was every man for himself. The Liu Family was the most powerful among the Northland powerful families.
It was because the Liu Family...had Immortals!
The Liu Family had been making moves recently. It was unclear what happened but it seemed like the Liu Family were tense and nervous. Family members had been summoned to return and the Liu Family cultivators had been on the watch even during midnight. They were planning something.
It raised the attention of Northland. Cultivators around the Liu Family were all trying to figure out what was going on.
Nobody would be foolish enough to offend the Liu Family, so they must be planning an opportunity.
The Liu House was huge and had a lot of buildings. The lights were still lit in the biggest mansion of the Liu House.
A black-robed elder was sitting at one end of the hall. He had a terrifyingly strict gaze, making the hall seem colder.
The elder had a hoarse voice. “Still no news from Rusheng?”
Another elder stepped forward and replied in a trembling voice, “Not yet, Master. However, the Lifeline Jades of the Great Guardian and Assistant Guardian were...were crushed.”
Boom!
The black-robed elder was livid. A tornado flew in the hall and roared. The surrounding furniture was crushed to bits!
“Who is it? Who dares to mess with the Liu Family?!” he yelled angrily and had bloodshot eyes. He was like a rabid tiger, glaring at everyone in the hall. “Useless, you’re all a bunch of useless losers! Find out who it is, no matter the cost. Gather the men, we’re going to Azure Ville!”
Everyone held their breaths and felt pity for the culprits.
How reckless of them.
Their master was livid. The culprits would face a fate worse than death no matter who they were.
It was going to go down in the Immortal Realm soon.
Suddenly, a young man spoke up. “Master, I have some leads in the investigation. It seems like we’re in luck.”
The black-robed elder was intrigued. “Oh? Hurry up and tell me.”
“That girl seems to be a new student in the Golden Lotus Sect, an extremely ordinary sect. She’s an Inferior Spiritual Root, but her cultivation speed is unusually fast. She made news in Northland when she surpassed a Golden Core cultivator with her foundation-level skills.”
He stopped for a while, then continued, “I heard from a lot of people and found out that the girl’s origin is a total mystery. When the Golden Lotus Sect took her in, a mysterious man appeared and gave them...”
His tone was serious as he trembled. “...or so rumor has it...writings that contained endless Insights. It’s most likely an Immortal treasure!”
