Chapter 727
Recalling his past life, Chen Xuan decided that once he settled down, he would immediately begin investigating various sects. Finding a sect to follow was of paramount importance to Chen Xuan, and he could not afford to be careless.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
"Uh-huh."
Immediately, Chen Xuan led Bai Li straight into the No. 1 restaurant in the West District.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have a reservation?" Before even entering the door, a pretty woman approached. She was dressed in green, with a red hairpin in her hair. Although her figure wasn't top-notch, her face was very well-proportioned, and her friendly smile made visitors feel as if a fragrant breeze was wafting over them.
Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head.
The woman nodded, then gestured for him to enter, "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, once you arrive at Diaolongtai, I guarantee you will be satisfied with your meal."
"Two fellow Taoists!"
Soon, Chen Xuan was led by the female cultivator into a relatively quiet private room near a window overlooking the street.
Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this position, and Bai Li also appeared beside Chen Xuan at this time, transformed into a girl in white.
"Master, the decor here is so comfortable." Sensing Bai Li's aura as a Great Demon at the Perfection of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the female cultivator's pupils contracted, and her gaze towards Chen Xuan held a hint of awe.
Having a Great Demon at the Perfected Myriad Manifestations Realm in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it's no surprise that this black-clad, white-haired youth is a low-profile young master from a major tribe.
"Senior, this is the menu. The ordering process involves focusing on spiritual energy and then directly infusing it with spiritual liquid or other currencies."
Chen Xuan nodded, "Understood. If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get back to work."
"Then I'll take my leave. If you need me, please feel free to call me anytime." The female cultivator in green gave him a flirtatious look as she left, but Chen Xuan only glanced at her once when he entered and then paid no attention to her.
Chen Xuan nodded and ignored it, instead reaching for a booklet on the table and flipping through it.
"Bai Li, you've sacrificed the most to arrive in Qingtian City this time. Here, order whatever you want to eat." Chen Xuan tossed the booklet to Bai Li.
"Huh?" Bai Li subconsciously took the order menu and looked at Chen Xuan for confirmation.
"Order only what you need and eat it all; avoid waste."
"Hehe, Master is the best! Then Bai Li will order it!"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then slowly closed his eyes. "In three to five days at most, my Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram will be able to enter the Innate Realm."
"I never imagined that the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, which is undisputed as the most difficult to cultivate in the Three Thousand Realms, could be broken through so easily in my hands. It's much easier than my Extreme Path cultivation system." Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light in them. "I have a faint feeling that if I cultivate my Divine Demon Body Refinement diligently, it will soon surpass my Weapon Refinement cultivation."
Seeing that Chen Xuan seemed to have entered a meditative state again, Bai Li, with her pearly white teeth and red lips, pondered over what to order.
As the top restaurant in Xicheng District, Diaolongtai offers a variety of dishes and wines at varying prices.
As Chen Xuan's personal spirit beast, Bai Li knew exactly how much wealth Chen Xuan possessed. After much deliberation, she ordered four dishes and a pot of wine, worth approximately one pound and two ounces of Origin Liquid.
"Master, the order is ready. Please take a look. If you can't finish it, reduce the amount." Bai Li handed the selected menu to Chen Xuan with some concern.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, and a jade gourd appeared in his hand. He then poured 1.2 jin of the original liquid into the menu.
“Qingtian City is indeed a place where geniuses from all over gather, and wine is sold by the jug.” Chen Xuan smiled, and with a flick of his hand, an unopened jar of Drunken Dragon Saliva appeared on the table. He pushed it to Bai Li and said, “Even the best spirit wine is not something our master can enjoy.”
"Thank you, Master." Bai Li hugged the Drunken Dragon Saliva in one swift motion, smacked her lips, and unwrapped it.
The food at Diaolongtai is served very quickly; in less than half a cup of tea's time, rare and delicious dishes with unique aromas have been served one after another.
This was the first time Chen Xuan had ever seen such exquisite delicacies. After drinking a cup of Bai Li Dian's Ming Shen Ling wine, he was ready to enjoy the food.
However, just then, a timid voice rang out from not far behind.
"You big bad guy..." Bai Li was happily drinking spiritual wine and eating delicious food when she looked up and saw Qing Tian Yu'er following her all the way.
Immediately, Bai Li's expression darkened, but she didn't immediately get angry or say anything harsh. Instead, she looked at her master, Chen Xuan, opposite her.
“Now that we’ve arrived in Qingtian City, my agreement with Elder Sang is over. You shouldn’t have come along; you should go back to where you belong.” Chen Xuan didn’t even turn around; he simply spoke calmly, exuding an icy aura.
"Did my brother say something to you in the carriage that made you angry?" Hearing Chen Xuan's cold words, Qing Tian Yu'er's tears fell instantly. She walked to Chen Xuan's side. "If that's the case, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. He's not a bad person at heart; he's just too worried about me."
"You big bad guy, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't speak, Qing Tian Yu'er grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and shook it gently.
“In my heart, you are just as important as my father and mother.” Hearing Qing Tian Yu’er’s sobbing, Chen Xuan shook his head slightly. After all, he had once accepted this girl because she had entered the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram. Now that she was crying so sadly, Chen Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sit down and eat. After you're done, go home first." Chen Xuan turned to look at Qing Tianyu'er, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and shook his head. "I know your brother isn't a bad person at heart, but the reality is that even your brother is suspicious of me because of this. What will your family's elders, even the patriarch, and even your parents think of me?"
Chen Xuan gave a wry smile. "I understand human nature better than your brother does."
Seeing that Qing Tian Yu'er was still stubbornly refusing to sit down, Chen Xuan pulled her arm, and only then did Qing Tian Yu'er sit down beside him. "The life of a cultivator is very long. In the future, you will meet and befriend many true geniuses and prodigies. They may come from first-class sects or have a foundation that is in no way inferior to your Qing Tian clan. As for me, I am just a passerby in your life."
Upon hearing this, Qing Tianyu'er, who had already stopped crying, immediately burst into tears again. She threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms and choked out, "I don't care, I only love you."
Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and looked utterly helpless. Bai Li was so annoyed that she almost crushed the cup in her hand, and rolled her eyes at Qing Tian Yu'er, who was nestled in her master's arms.
"The path of immortals is elusive, the path of humanity is boundless, and the path of ghosts is joyful. You and I are cultivators, and the matter of finding a Daoist partner is of great importance. It is not something you can achieve on a whim. I bear too many responsibilities, and my heart is focused on the Great Dao." Chen Xuan murmured, his eyes deep and unwavering. "Moreover, I already have a Daoist partner. Her name is Lu Xueqi."
Chen Xuan was forced to say these words. Qing Tian Yu'er trembled and hugged Chen Xuan even tighter. "I don't mind that you have a Daoist partner, and I don't mind that you like other women."
These words, coming from the daughter of the Marquis of Qingtian, carried immense weight.
This caused even the primordial spirit Daoist Elder Chen, who had followed and protected Qing Tian Yu'er all the way, to experience a slight fluctuation in his aura.
As soon as this fluctuation of energy appeared, Chen Xuan immediately realized that he and the others were being enveloped by a divine sense.
"Since you're here, senior, why not show yourself and have a chat, and perhaps take the princess of the Marquis's mansion with you?" Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at another corner of the restaurant. He instantly released his powerful divine sense and directly clashed with it.
