Afterward,
Everyone reluctantly finished their drinks, their faces showing signs of pain.
But suddenly remembering that the Soul Cleanse Brew was for sale, their spirits lifted.
“Waiter, bring me a pot of Soul Cleanse Brew!”
“I want two pots.”
“Give me three pots!”
“……”
In an instant, the tavern was filled with people urgently calling out to Christopher Tong.
Hearing this, Christopher remembered Ambrose Lu’s instructions before the opening and apologized, “Dear guests, I’m sorry, but today we only offer one free cup of Soul Cleanse Brew. As for sales, please come early tomorrow.”
Evelyn Zuo, Shane Peng, and the others were immediately disappointed, even forgetting the purpose of their visit to the tavern.
“Alright then.”
Everyone felt unwilling, wanting to seize the Longevity Tavern, but their rational minds told them not to do so!
In the end, they smacked their lips and bowed to Ambrose Lu, who was sitting in a rocking chair, “Innkeeper, we will take our leave now. Thank you for your hospitality.”
Seeing Ambrose Lu ignore them, Evelyn Zuo, Shane Peng, and the others reluctantly left under Christopher Tong’s escort.
Just as they stepped out of the tavern, everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten their original purpose of gathering information…
However, recalling the exquisite Soul Cleanse Brew, they felt somewhat comforted, considering it a fruitful visit.
Next,
Groups of cultivators continued to enter the tavern, all of them becoming so enchanted by the Soul Cleanse Brew that they forgot their original intentions.
They marveled at how such a unique brew could exist in the world, lamenting that their previous lives, filled with danger, seemed wasted.
All the cultivators wanted to take some brew with them, but upon hearing the tavern’s rules, they gave up.
As night fell, Christopher Tong and Leonard Lin saw off the last group of cultivators and closed the courtyard gate with a creak.
The two sighed in relief, tossing their cleaning cloths over their shoulders, their faces showing exhaustion—a kind of spiritual fatigue.
Christopher looked up at the faintly visible crack in the night sky and said, “At night, that crack becomes harder to see. We’ve been at this Sky Scar for a while now, it’s truly unique.”
Leonard looked up at the sky and smiled wryly, “Senior Brother, let’s not think about such things now. We haven’t even explored outside yet. Let’s focus on managing the tavern first.”
Christopher chuckled, glanced sneakily inside the tavern, and then asked curiously in a low voice, “Junior Brother, what do you think is the purpose of the master’s tavern here?”
Leonard was slightly taken aback and mumbled, “How could we possibly guess the master’s intentions? Senior Brother, let’s not think about it… be careful not to get reprimanded by the master.”
“Uh-huh.” Christopher shivered, smiled awkwardly, and then sighed, “It’s been almost ten years. I wonder how Andrew and Master are doing at the White Moon Sect.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. With the master’s influence, Master and the others are definitely living better than us.” Leonard laughed.
“We’ve been busy all day, let’s go inside and eat something.”
At that moment, Ambrose Lu’s voice came from inside the tavern.
Eat something???
Christopher and Leonard were stunned but quickly responded respectfully, “Yes.”
………
Inside the tavern, under the soft lighting.
Christopher and Leonard sat nervously, staring dumbfounded at the two steaming bowls of soup on the table.
They were overwhelmed, wondering if the master had personally made it.
Ambrose Lu got up from the rocking chair and walked towards the inner room, saying softly as he went, “Drink the soup and rest early.”
Christopher and Leonard immediately stood up and bowed, “Yes, Master.”
After Ambrose Lu disappeared into the inner room, Christopher and Leonard slowly sat down.
They pursed their lips, then picked up the bowls and gulped down the hot soup.
Hmm, besides being hot, it didn’t seem to have any other special taste.
But just as they thought that, an indescribable feeling spread throughout their bodies, with a warm energy radiating from their abdomens to their limbs and meridians!
Like waves crashing against the shore, one after another!
“This…”
Christopher and Leonard exchanged shocked glances, then their faces lit up with joy as they each rushed to their rooms.
They remembered their master’s parting words ten years ago at the White Moon Sect: Follow the master, and seize this great fortune!
Sure enough, the master’s blessing had come so quickly!
Meanwhile,
In Ambrose Lu’s room, he sat quietly on the bed, listening to the movements of Christopher and Leonard, and smiled.
Under the warm light, Ambrose Lu’s dark eyes flickered slightly.
Opening this tavern at Sky Scar was not just a whim to pass the time; there was another reason… to make the name of the Longevity Tavern known in this world of Sky Scar,
And to make his name, Ambrose Lu, known in this world.
The purpose was simple: to draw out those who had once joined forces to suppress him in the Immortal Tomb, those who coveted his Eternal Longevity Body.
As time passed, most of his memories had returned, but the identities of those people were still unclear in his mind.
He only knew that some of them were in this Sky Scar.
Although a million years in the tomb wasn’t long for him and didn’t delay anything, this debt still needed to be settled.
However, the significant increase in his strength during that million-year slumber was puzzling.
Ambrose Lu gently rubbed his fingers, frowning slightly.
His Eternal Longevity Body didn’t require cultivation; with the passage of time, his strength would slowly increase each day, but it was an extremely slow process.
So the significant increase in strength during his slumber was indeed very strange…
Ambrose Lu looked down at his palm and murmured, “Could it be that the Eternal Longevity Body has undergone some change?”
In this world, Ambrose Lu understood everyone, but he didn’t fully understand himself.
Ambrose Lu’s frown suddenly relaxed, and he sighed with a smile, “Why think about it? As long as I am immortal, time will give me the answer.”
With that, his expression returned to calm, and he closed his eyes as if falling into a deep sleep.
At the same time,
Qingxuan Town was extremely lively!
Even at night, the streets and alleys were filled with cultivators. Surprisingly, no one was fighting; everyone was excitedly chatting and boasting.
“Fellow Daoists, you weren’t at the Longevity Tavern today, were you? You have no idea, the innkeeper of the Longevity Tavern is a super strong expert! The pressure he exerted crushed all of us, thousands of people, to the ground! Fortunately, the innkeeper had no intention of killing, otherwise, none of us would have escaped!”
“Hiss! So powerful? If that’s the case, even though the tavern’s name is arrogant, it has the strength to back it up!”
“So, what level do you think the innkeeper is at?”
“In my opinion, the innkeeper’s cultivation level is at least on par with the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, also at the Immortal Venerable level. As for which rank of Immortal Venerable, I can’t say.”
“Hiss…”
(Note: The realm divisions in Sky Scar are the same as in the Four Directions Immortal Realm, but with a difference: the Immortal Emperor realm in the Four Directions Immortal Realm has no ranks, while in Sky Scar, the Immortal Emperor realm is divided into nine turns. Chu Ling Tian and Gu Yinyang are considered First Turn Immortal Emperors; beyond the Immortal Emperor realm in Sky Scar, there is also the Immortal Ancestor realm, which is also divided into nine turns.)
