Moyu Town was bustling with activity.
Even under the scorching sun, vendors on both sides of the street were sweating profusely as they shouted and sold their goods.
Ambrose Lu strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, stopping here and there to look at the stalls.
Whenever a vendor thought they had a potential customer, they would see the man in cyan cloth move on to the next stall at a slow pace…
This repeated over and over.
If it weren't for the extraordinary aura of the man in cyan cloth, making him seem like someone of great importance, the vendors would have shown their displeasure long ago!
Is this how you toy with people?
Eventually, Ambrose Lu entered a small tavern.
The moment the waiter saw Ambrose, his eyes widened. This man was clearly a scholar or someone of high status, definitely not an ordinary person. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him!
"Sir, you are…"
Before the waiter could finish, Ambrose sniffed the air and smiled, "Is that Peach Blossom Wine?"
The waiter quickly responded respectfully, "Sir, you have a keen sense for wine. This is indeed Peach Blossom Wine."
"Good, bring me a pot of Peach Blossom Wine. As for the dishes, you decide."
After speaking, Ambrose walked towards a window seat under the astonished gazes of some of the tavern's patrons.
"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment." The waiter quickly retreated to prepare.

In the Town Master's Mansion of Moyu Town.
The butler hurriedly entered the main hall, excitedly saying:
"Town Master! We've received a report that another extraordinary young man has entered Moyu Town!"
A middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothes and with a square face, who was sitting and drinking tea in the hall, suddenly put down his teacup and stood up in surprise, "Oh? Where is he?"
This middle-aged man was none other than the Town Master of Moyu Town, Andrew Chen.
The butler smiled wryly, "Town Master, our men didn't follow him. Didn't you say not to follow such people rashly if they appear…"
Andrew Chen slapped his forehead and laughed, "That's right, look at my memory."
At this moment, Andrew Chen felt both excited and anxious.
He was excited because another such person had come to Moyu Town, giving him another chance!
He was anxious because he feared this person might turn out to be just an ordinary mortal, like the previous ones.
Andrew Chen had always had a dream, and that was to achieve Cultivation!
Although there was a clear distinction between Cultivationer and mortals, and it was rare to see immortals in the mortal world, he had been fortunate enough to see one once!
Just once, and he was completely captivated. The freedom and exhilaration of flying and escaping deeply attracted him…
He dreamed of one day being able to do the same. More importantly, he knew that Cultivationer lived much longer than mortals…
Andrew Chen believed that he could tell if the young man who entered the town was an Cultivationer just by looking at him!
Because he had witnessed the demeanor of an Cultivationer!
As Andrew Chen's close subordinate, the butler naturally knew what Andrew Chen was thinking. He smiled and said, "Town Master, what should we do?"
To be honest, if possible, he also wanted to achieve Cultivation. Although he had never seen an Cultivationer, from Andrew Chen's descriptions, it didn't seem fake!
Moreover, there was an Immortal Tomb in the far east of the Eastern Region…
Upon hearing this, Andrew Chen pondered, "Moyu Town isn't particularly large… How about this, you and I will go out in disguise and look for him."
The butler nodded, knowing that Andrew Chen wanted to go out in disguise to avoid being recognized by the townspeople. He then frowned and asked, "Town Master, if that person is really an Cultivationer… what should we do next?"
Andrew Chen paused and waved his hand, "If he is indeed an Cultivationer, we should cater to his interests and try to win his favor. But whether he is or not, it's too early to say."
Andrew Chen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with hope, and continued, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Time is of the essence. Let's change our clothes and put on some hats to conceal our faces, and then go find him!"
"Yes."

In the small tavern, by the window.
Ambrose Lu held a wine cup in his hand. His eyes flashed slightly, and the wine in the cup began to emit a cold mist, becoming icy.
He then raised the cup and took a sip. In the scorching heat, the icy Peach Blossom Wine was truly delightful.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of the heat; he just enjoyed the ritual.
Ambrose Lu savored the floral aroma of the wine, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Perhaps this Peach Blossom Wine wasn't top-notch, but at this moment, to Ambrose, it was the finest wine.
Because this was the first sip of wine he had after emerging from the Immortal Tomb, having been buried for who knows how long.
"Sir, the dishes are here."
At this moment, the waiter placed several steaming dishes on the table and smiled, "By the way, sir, our manager said this meal is on the house."
"Enjoy your meal, sir." The waiter bowed and left.
Hearing this, Ambrose paused in his drinking and glanced at the old manager standing at the counter, who was smiling and nodding at him.
From the town gate guards to the tavern manager, everyone had been exceedingly polite to him.
He looked at his own ethereal face reflected in the wine cup, feeling a bit helpless.
He had already retracted all his outward aura and presence.
But he was still too outstanding.
It had always been this way, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He wouldn't deliberately conceal his natural aura either, as that would seem too pretentious.
"Sigh." Ambrose sighed lightly, raised his cup, and looked out the window, his eyes somewhat distant as he thought about the Immortal Tomb.
Meanwhile, "Town Master, the townspeople are giving us strange looks…"
Feeling the many odd glances, the butler awkwardly whispered. He looked at his and Andrew Chen's attire and pursed his lips.
In this scorching heat, the two of them were wrapped up tightly like lunatics. It would be strange if the townspeople didn't stare.
"Ahem, those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. It's a bit hot, let's go to that tavern to quench our thirst first."
Andrew Chen said as he hurried towards the small tavern.
Seeing this, the butler's mouth twitched, and he quickly followed.

"Two guests, you are…"
Before the waiter could finish, the butler interrupted, "Just bring us two pots of Peach Blossom Wine, quickly."
"Haha, alright. Please find a seat, and the wine will be served shortly."
The waiter smiled at their attire and quickly went to prepare.
"Town Master, do you want to sit by the window or somewhere more secluded…?"
The butler asked in a low voice but received no response. He turned around in confusion, "Town Master?"
Soon, the butler was taken aback, as he saw Andrew Chen's eyes under the hat staring intently in one direction!
Following his gaze, the butler's pupils also contracted!
By the window, a man in cyan cloth with an ethereal aura was quietly drinking wine!
In an instant, the butler knew that this was probably the person they were looking for.
