The woman in the white dress narrowed her eyes slightly.
Powerful and unrestrained?
However, she wasn’t too surprised by such bold words.
She took a light breath and finally cast her gaze on the silent man in the green robe beside her.
Before she could take a closer look, Old Turtle waved his hand and shouted, “Alright, hurry up and bring out that peerless wine from your tavern. Don’t keep my master waiting, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences. Rest assured, you won’t be shortchanged on the payment!”
Chu Xiruo paused upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, then turned her head and said indifferently, “You may leave.”
“Yes…”
The female cultivator stood up, bowed, and then flew towards the lakeside.
She wasn’t worried about her tavern owner at all, after all, even Karl Jiang couldn’t gain any advantage over him.
Chu Xiruo pursed her lips and sat down in the only remaining seat at the stone table, under Mark Gu’s dumbfounded gaze.
Her next words struck Mark Gu like a bolt of lightning.
“Are you two from the Four Directions Immortal Realm?”
Immortal… Immortal Realm!
Mark Gu’s chest heaved violently. Although he had long suspected that Ambrose Lu and Old Turtle were not from this realm, hearing someone say it outright still shocked him.
After all, a guess is always just a guess.
Old Turtle wasn’t surprised. He smiled nonchalantly, spreading his hands in a smug manner, “What else?”
He knew from the first time he saw the woman in the white dress that she wasn’t from the Spirit Dust Realm either.
Old Turtle knew that Ambrose Lu must have figured it out long ago as well.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiruo smiled brightly. It was just as she had thought.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The next moment, without saying a word, she lightly waved her sleeve, and a beautifully decorated jug of wine appeared on the table. The bottle was adorned with countless intricate lines, forming a grand image of the sea meeting the sky.
Not to mention the wine inside, even the bottle itself seemed like a treasure.
“Daoist friends, this is the peerless wine that can only be tasted by those who have their names on the plaque. Please enjoy!”
Chu Xiruo said generously, then casually set up an isolation barrier in the pavilion. She pulled out the cork, and an aroma far surpassing the fragrance of spring spread out.
Mark Gu swallowed his saliva, dumbfounded.
The fragrance was truly intoxicating. He swore he had never smelled such a top-quality wine before. Just one whiff made the spiritual energy in his body surge violently.
This wine should only exist in the heavens; it’s rare to find such a scent on earth.
Ambrose Lu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said lightly, “Azure Sea Immortal Brew.”
Chu Xiruo’s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, “Daoist friend, you truly know your wine. This is indeed the Azure Sea Immortal Brew!”
At the same time, Chu Xiruo’s excitement grew even more!
Yes, yes, this man in the green robe and the hunchbacked old man were definitely from the Four Directions Immortal Realm!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t know the name of this wine, as there was no Azure Sea Immortal Brew in this realm; it was a product of the Four Directions Immortal Realm!
Ambrose Lu said softly, “You put up a plaque that can only be inscribed with immortal energy, merely holding onto a sliver of hope, hoping to find someone from the Four Directions Immortal Realm in this realm.”
Old Turtle nodded in agreement. Although he hadn’t paid much attention to the plaque before the woman in the white dress appeared, he understood after she showed up.
Chu Xiruo sighed, “Yes, hoping to find someone from the Four Directions Immortal Realm in this lower realm is indeed wishful thinking. I never thought I would actually find someone…”
Mark Gu was already bewildered!
The conversation was too high-level for him to comprehend. It was the first time someone had discussed the Immortal Realm so casually in front of him… and he was just at the Elemental Infant stage. Oh my god!
In the past, he wouldn’t have even dared to think about it.
“Master, although Old Turtle doesn’t know how this little cultivator ended up in the Spirit Dust Realm, I can guess why she can’t go back, hehe…”
Old Turtle glanced at Chu Xiruo, then looked at Ambrose Lu with a silly smile.
Ambrose Lu remained silent, took a sip from his cup of Spring Breeze, but didn’t drink the Azure Sea Immortal Brew…
Chu Xiruo’s eyes flashed, and she said, “It seems you also know about the blocked ascension passage in this realm. You must have tried to break through but failed. There are five people guarding it. If the three of us join forces, we can definitely break through!”
“Pfft!”
Old Turtle almost spat out all the wine in his mouth onto the already stunned Mark Gu’s face!
“Uh, Master, I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.” Old Turtle glanced at Ambrose Lu, trying hard to suppress his laughter, his face turning a bit red.
Mark Gu’s mind was in chaos. Even though some wine had splashed onto him, he didn’t notice.
He had never seen the ascension passage and didn’t know where it was, but he had heard of it. It was the only passage for great cultivators to ascend to the Immortal Realm after crossing the tribulation!
And it was blocked…
What would happen to the ascension of the ancestor of the Carefree Courtyard in the Western Region?
If they reached a certain level of cultivation in the future, how would they ascend?
“Daoist friend, what are you laughing at?”
Chu Xiruo frowned slightly, looking at Old Turtle with some dissatisfaction.
“Oh, nothing, nothing. I wasn’t laughing. Which eye of yours saw me laughing?” Old Turtle sat upright.
“Not to mention for my own sake,” Chu Xiruo sighed lightly, somewhat indignant, “In the Four Directions Immortal Realm, no sect in any region is allowed to block the ascension passage of any realm for any reason. This is the Immortal Code! It was personally established by the Immortal Emperor of Longevity!”
“Their cruel actions not only cut off the path to immortality but also violate the Immortal Code of the Immortal Emperor of Longevity! If I can return to the Immortal Realm, I will definitely report this!”
Upon hearing this, Old Turtle pursed his lips and gave Ambrose Lu a meaningful look…
Ambrose Lu suddenly pushed his cup towards the Azure Sea Immortal Brew and said softly, “Fill it up.”
Chu Xiruo was slightly stunned, then overjoyed. She stood up and poured a cup of Azure Sea Immortal Brew for each of the three.
She knew that if they were willing to drink her Azure Sea Immortal Brew, there was hope for them to join forces and break through the ascension passage.
Mark Gu stared blankly at the Azure Sea Immortal Brew in front of him. After hearing about the ascension passage, he didn’t feel like drinking it anymore.
Ambrose Lu took a sip from his cup, his face expressionless.
“Mark, drink up! Grandpa Turtle tells you, this wine, just one cup can save you sixty years of cultivation!” Old Turtle chuckled.
What? Sixty years?!
Mark Gu was instantly shocked, immediately discarding his despondent thoughts. He held the cup with both hands and gulped it down in one go!
Moments after the wine entered his stomach, Mark Gu felt a surge of heat in his dantian, and even his Elemental Infant trembled with desire!
At this moment, Old Turtle pointed a finger at Mark Gu’s forehead and said helplessly, “Close your eyes, Grandpa Turtle will help you refine it.”
“Thank you, Senior Turtle!” Mark Gu then looked apologetically at Ambrose Lu before closing his eyes to refine the wine.
Click.
Ambrose Lu placed his cup down, looked at Chu Xiruo, and said lightly, “Since I’ve drunk your wine, I’ll take you back to the Four Directions Immortal Realm.”
Old Turtle, who was helping Mark Gu refine the wine, smiled, knowing that the woman’s words had struck a chord with his master.
Chu Xiruo was initially overjoyed, then stunned, “Take… take me? Daoist friend, aren’t you going back?”
