677: Chapter 674: My Father is Lin Pinghai 677: Chapter 674: My Father is Lin Pinghai Huang Xiaolong was astonished to find that the Spiritual Energy in Pill King City was even denser than that of Xuanwu Academy, and the quality was even higher!
Although, it couldn’t compare to Golden Dragon Peak, it still profoundly shocked him.
Moreover, the faint Elixir Fragrance, refreshing to the senses, invigorated the spirit.
Huang Xiaolong discovered that these scents were emanating from the shops lining the streets.
“Surprised?
In fact, beneath every street in Pill King City, there is a Spirit Gathering Array.
As for the total number of Spirit Gathering Arrays in the entire Pill King City, even I am not clear on the number, but it definitely exceeds one hundred thousand,” Elder Sheng Yue said, seeing the astounded expressions on Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei, could not help feeling proud.
“One hundred thousand!” Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei exclaid in shock.
Although Huang Xiaolong had guessed that there must be quite a number of Spirit Gathering Arrays within Pill King City, the actual number still far surpassed his estimates.
Shi Xiaofei was also visibly shaken, unable to believe it.
One hundred thousand Spirit Gathering Arrays!
And that was the minimum number!
It was known that constructing a Spirit Gathering Array required an exorbitant amount of resources, even the smallest ones.
So first-class families were considered fortunate to possess a few arrays, while super families generally had around a hundred.
“Let’s go, we should head to the Pill King Tower first and get a good seat.
The seats there are hard to co by,” Elder Sheng Yue then changed his tone, urging them, obviously eager for the Pill King wine.
Huang Xiaolong smiled wryly but had also beco interested in the Pill King wine.
He knew the old man was quite the talker; any wine that he craved and reminisced about this much must be extraordinary.
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei were almost dragged by Elder Sheng Yue to the Pill King Tower ntioned by the elder.
Contrary to what Huang Xiaolong had imagined, although Pill King Tower was bustling, it was not very crowded and not to the extent that it was preventing people from moving around.
Seemingly perceiving Huang Xiaolong’s confusion, Elder Sheng Yue chuckled, “My apprentice, did you think that the Pill King wine of the Pill King Tower was sothing anyone could drink?
Although it’s a speciality of Pill King City, the price is not low.
Even elders from first-class families can hardly afford it!”
Huang Xiaolong and Shi Xiaofei were surprised.
Even the elders from first-class families could hardly afford it?
Was the Pill King wine that expensive?
Elder Sheng Yue spoke while leading the two inside.
Though it had been tens of thousands of years, Pill King Tower had not changed much, and Elder Sheng Yue expertly led them to find seats.
The entire Pill King Tower had only one floor with just the right number of seats: a total of one hundred tables.
Although there weren’t many people outside, once inside, Huang Xiaolong noticed that nearly all of the hundred tables were almost completely occupied.
Only two tables remained empty.
However, those two tables were in the center of the restaurant, a high-traffic area with less than ideal positions.
How could one stay in the mood for tasting wine when people were constantly passing by?
Elder Sheng Yue raised an eyebrow.
Just then, two people at a window seat stood up, evidently having finished their al and ready to leave.
Elder Sheng Yue saw this and laughed, “It seems I, the old man, am quite favored by the fickle heavens, always lucky no matter where I go.” As he spoke, he walked over with Huang Xiaolong.
The three of them took seats by the window.
However, just as the three sat down, a young man and woman walked over.
The man ca to the table and said, “This seat was eyed by us first, old man.
You three stand up quickly and get over to that table!” He pointed to the two remaining empty tables in the center.
The man’s tone was arrogant, commanding as if he was used to ordering servants around, so he spoke to Huang Xiaolong and the others in the sa commanding tone he used with servants.
The man had also noticed this window seat earlier, but since Huang Xiaolong and his companions were closer, they had taken it first.
Because the man’s rebuke was loud, the other diners around turned to look over, and clearly, many recognized him, causing a buzzing of conversation.
“It’s Lin Yihan from the Pill King City’s Four Young Masters!
His father is Elder Lin Pinghai from the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild!”
“These three daring to compete with him for seats are in for trouble!
Pill King City, where one would rather offend the City Lord than the Four Young Masters!”
As Lin Yihan heard the diners talking around him, his heart swelled with pride.
He looked down on Huang Xiaolong and the others and said, “Aren’t you going to scramble out of these seats quickly?
However, since I saw this seat first, and you dared take it before , I am very displeased now.” He then looked at Shi Xiaofei, his eyes lighting up, “Leave this little girl here to serve us wine and wait on us to our satisfaction, then you may leave the Pill King Tower!
Did you hear ?!”
Huang Xiaolong raised an eyebrow.
Shi Xiaofei’s pretty face flushed with anger.
However, Elder Sheng Yue chuckled, “Damn it, you little brat, you’re displeased, but I’m even more displeased.” After saying that, he didn’t stand up but instead slapped directly through the air.
Lin Yihan had not yet reacted when he was slapped back several ters by Elder Sheng Yue’s remote slap.
The onlookers saw Lin Yihan’s originally handso right cheek swell up like it was inflated, suddenly bulging like a super-sized pig’s head, and so family beauties could not help but snicker.
“Young Master Yihan, are you alright?” the woman from the sa family who ca with Lin Yihan blurted out worriedly.
Lin Yihan, holding his burning cheek, was stunned, hardly believing that soone dared to lay a hand on him in Pill King City, and it was an old man who looked like a beggar!
“Old man, you are dead!
You all are dead!
My father is an elder of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild; you won’t be able to leave Pill King City!” He finally ca back to his senses and pointed at Elder Sheng Yue and Huang Xiaolong, screaming furiously.
Elder Sheng Yue mocked, “Your father is an elder of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, and I am an elder of the sa!”
Indeed, Elder Sheng Yue was telling the truth, he was not only the only Alchemy Grandmaster of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild but also an elder!
The Alchemy Grandmaster Guild had three elders, and he was one of them, and the oldest at that.
The other two elders were in fact his juniors.
Currently, half of the elders in the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild had been ntored by Elder Sheng Yue, including Lin Yihan’s father, Lin Pinghai!
However, because Elder Sheng Yue was dressed like a beggar, when he claid to be an elder of the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild, naturally, no one believed him.
Not only did no one believe him, but they also thought Elder Sheng Yue was saying this to mock Lin Yihan.
Lin Yihan also felt that Elder Sheng Yue was mocking him, his face turning red with anger.
However, he dared not co forward to initiate a conflict, as Elder Sheng Yue’s earlier slap had shown him the elder’s strength was not weak.
At this ti, a man dressed like a restaurant owner approached upon hearing the noise.
