The mbers of the Cyan Mountain Sect numbered twelve in total, making them the smallest in number among the Eight Great Sects present.
At Elder Xu’s invitation, Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, and their group joined Elder Xu from the Taihang Sect at the Drunken Immortal Tower, located in the southern part of Purple Fire Castle.
This Purple Fire Castle is a city with very comprehensive living facilities within.
Around the Purple Fire Castle square, there are countless establishnts such as taverns and restaurants.
Shops selling magical artifacts and spirit dicines are also readily available here.
However, establishnts and shops serving cultivators are mainly operated by the Dubhe Institute and belong to their industry.
While the Eight Great Sects and Nine Cold Mountain fight on the front lines for the Dubhe Institute, the Institute benefits in many ways.
Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, Song Minghui, Lin Han, and Xuu Yi sat at a table with Elder Xu from the Taihang Sect.
The remaining dozen or so elite disciples from the Taihang Sect sat with other disciples from the Cyan Mountain Sect, dividing into several tables, with every table having the sa dishes, with no differentiation in price.
At the table, Lu Yuanshan and this Elder Xu from the Taihang Sect had a pleasant conversation, learning about this person’s specific identity: nad Xu Shouye, with a sixth-layer Foundation Establishnt cultivation, ranking sixth among the elders of the Taihang Sect.
"Sect Leader Lu, why not try this dish first."
"This is the Red-tailed Spirit Eel, a rare spirit fish from the Southern Wilderness, belonging to Tier Two demon beasts."
"Such a demon beast can grow to a size of three or four zhang and weigh one or two thousand jin, making it an extrely fierce kind of spirit fish."
"To hunt the Red-tailed Spirit Eel, at least a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator needs to lead a team to capture it underwater. In the entire Purple Fire Castle, only the Drunken Immortal Tower serves this kind of delicacy."
"This Red-tailed Spirit Eel can enhance a cultivator’s physique and promote cultivation."
"I have craved this taste for a long ti, and today I can finally satisfy my appetite."
Xu Shouye slowly introduced a dish for Lu Yuanshan to taste.
This Red-tailed Spirit Eel, stead, had extrely delicious and tender at.
Under the chef’s excellent cutting technique, the at was sliced into uniformly sized pieces that could be eaten with so dipping sauce.
Listening to Xu Shouye’s introduction, Lu Yuanshan couldn’t help but take another look at this plate of Red-tailed Spirit Eel.
The Tier Two spirit fish reminded Lu Yuanshan of the Three-eyed Spirit Fish and Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish bred within the sect.
Compared to the spirit fish they bred themselves, Lu Yuanshan suddenly beca interested in the taste of the Red-tailed Spirit Eel.
He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, dipped it into the sauce, and then put it in his mouth to taste.
Upon tasting the Red-tailed Spirit Eel, the flavor proved to be extrely fresh and delicious, smooth and pleasant, with a hint of sweetness.
No matter how much you ate of this taste, you wouldn’t feel tired of it.
anwhile, after consuming the fish, a warm flow quickly erged within, giving Lu Yuanshan a sense of warmth.
At this mont, if paired with a good glass of wine, it would be even more wonderful.
"Sect Leader Lu, isn’t the taste good? Why not also try this Red Orchid Wine."
"The experience of taking this Red Orchid Wine with the Red-tailed Spirit Eel is exceptionally marvelous."
Xu Shouye poured Lu Yuanshan a cup of Red Orchid Wine.
This Red Orchid Wine, not simple either, is a Tier One High-grade Spirit Wine brewed from Tier One Spirit dicine Red Orchid and a small quantity of Red-tailed Spirit Eel’s fin.
The price of a pot of Red Orchid Wine is equivalent to fifty spirit stones.
This small cup alone is worth about five spirit stones.
After consumption, it can enhance divine sense.
With Xu Shouye’s enthusiastic introduction, Lu Yuanshan tasted the Red Orchid Wine.
After drinking this cup of spirit wine, Lu Yuanshan only felt the taste was clean and refreshing, as if he was drinking chilled spring water, not like any ordinary wine.
"Hmm, this wine..."
Such a taste prompted an amazed exclamation from Lu Yuanshan, "is unlike ordinary spirit wines that are fiery and intoxicating."
However, if one drinks too much of this Red Orchid Wine, even a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator can get drunk.
In the future, if there’s an opportunity, trying to capture so Red-tailed Spirit Eels from the Southern Wilderness and bringing them back to the Cyan Mountain Sect for breeding would be worthwhile.
The value of such spirit fish is higher than that of the Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish and Three-eyed Spirit Fish.
Listening to Lu Yuanshan’s words, Xu Shouye laughed heartily and proceeded to introduce other specialty dishes.
For instance, Spirit Horned Ox Beef, Earth Marrow Ganoderma Soup, and Cyan Dew Clam.
Even the rice was Tier Two Spirit Rice, Jade Ganoderma Rice, each grain plump and crystalline, firm and chewy, emitting an orchid fragrance that made one want to eat three bowls just of the rice.
These delicacies satisfied everyone’s appetite.
And while casually chatting with Lu Yuanshan, Xu Shouye’s gaze occasionally drifted toward Lu Zhiwei, with so admiration in his eyes.
This scene naturally did not escape Lu Yuanshan’s attention.
Even Lu Ping, on the side, noticed Xu Shouye’s small act, and a strong look of vigilance appeared on his face.
This Xu Shouye, looking at least in his early fifties, likely even older in actual age, was he interested in Zhiwei?
With soone showing interest in his daughter Zhiwei, Lu Ping, as her father, naturally kept an eye out and observed quietly.
However, what Xu Shouye said next left Lu Ping both amused and speechless.
"Sect Leader Lu, if your sister is not yet married, the son of the Taihang Sect’s Sect Leader makes quite a match."
Hearing Xu Shouye trying to arrange a match, Lu Yuanshan was montarily stunned and then couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
His brother did not rush to reply but instead turned his gaze toward Lu Zhiwei to see how his younger sister would react.
Lu Zhiwei remained composed, calmly shaking her head in response to Lu Yuanshan’s inquiring look.
This indicated her unwillingness.
Noticing his sister’s reluctance, Lu Yuanshan imdiately responded.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Daoist Xu, but my sister is currently dedicated to her cultivation and isn’t considering companionship."
"If she’s interested in the future, there’s no rush to discuss it then."
"Hmm, alright then."
Seeing this, Xu Shouye did not press on with the matter.
Inwardly, he sighed. Currently, there’s no opportunity, politely refused; eventually, given your sister’s talent, the Young Master of the Taihang Sect might not match up.
Oh well, oh well.
Sighing secretly, Xu Shouye shifted the topic, ntioning so situations he had heard from the frontline battlefield, and continued the idle conversation with Lu Yuanshan.
Through the chatting, Lu Yuanshan gained more insight into the frontline situation.
As per current circumstances, the third wave of large-scale beast tides in the Southern Wilderness Forest is essentially cleared.
The most powerful demon beast appearing among them was a Tier Four demon beast, known as the Red-eyed Demon King.
