Of course, if Ye Tianfan encounters danger, then the Illusory Fire will directly cancel Ye Tianfan's Illusion Technique!
However, these were things Ye Tianfan would basically never guess.
Ye Tianfan ate the food tastelessly, never expecting that he would have wasted half a month in vain.
Wait, perhaps it wasn't a waste of half a month?
This half-month brought the Illusory Fire and the mind of the ten-direction realm, completely worth it.
Yet Ye Tianfan still felt so loss because of that inexplicable half-month.
Or maybe that half-month was actually the million years he spent in the Illusion Realm?
Ye Tianfan pondered this, even though he knew he only spent three hours in the Illusion Realm, at least this thought was a comfort.
"Excuse , are you a Cultivator, sir?"
Just as Ye Tianfan managed to console himself, he heard the voice of the shop boy beside him.
In fact, Ye Tianfan knew the shop boy appeared by his side but thought he was there to deliver food to other guests, so he paid no attention.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Ye Tianfan admitted directly, speaking as he continued to eat.
"If you are a Cultivator, sir, that's wonderful. Our shopkeeper has instructed that if we encounter a Cultivator, he would personally visit! Please wait a mont!" The shop boy said as he turned away to call the Shopkeeper!
Ye Tianfan glanced at the shop boy's back. Although Ye Tianfan didn't know what the Shopkeeper wanted, at least this small town's attitude towards Cultivators was better than that of ignorant villagers, who only treated Ye Tianfan as an Immortal and bowed on sight.
Soon, Ye Tianfan saw the shop boy trailing behind a chubby man who was quickly walking toward him, almost jogging.
It seems that this chubby man is the Shopkeeper.
Ye Tianfan concluded confidently.
"Greetings to you, honored guest. This humble man pays his respects!" The Shopkeeper quickly reached Ye Tianfan and bowed deeply.
Why was the Shopkeeper convinced that Ye Tianfan was a Cultivator?
It was because Ye Tianfan constantly emitted an ethereal aura, a quality ordinary people did not have, and he did not conceal it.
Of course, only those with more knowledge could recognize this aura; people without such experience simply thought Ye Tianfan was noble, not an ordinary person.
Ye Tianfan nodded to the Shopkeeper and asked, "What's going on? I heard from the shop boy that you have business with a Cultivator?"
The Shopkeeper quickly replied, "eting a Cultivator is truly a lifelong blessing for !" After speaking, he bowed deeply again and turned to the shop boy, saying, "Quickly instruct the kitchen to prepare so good dishes, and fetch the hundred-year-old daughter red wine I have treasured for twenty years, as a tribute to the Cultivator!"
Ye Tianfan imdiately stopped the shop boy from leaving and asked the Shopkeeper, "No, if you have sothing to say, just say it. Don't do this routine; if you don't clarify, I won't feel at ease eating your dishes."
Hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Shopkeeper laughed awkwardly, signaled the shop boy to hurry to prepare, and explained to Ye Tianfan.
"Here's the situation, honored guest. Over the past two years, our Huo Rong Town has been plagued by a Demon Beast, and the mayor has recruited warriors for two years, but they were mostly eaten by that beast. So, the mayor said if a Cultivator arrives, we must keep them and inform him so he can visit personally. Only a Cultivator can deal with that beast, and we haven't had any Cultivators visiting in years."
Imdiately, the Shopkeeper worried Ye Tianfan might think there's sothing wrong here and quickly added, "It's not that Cultivators haven't arrived, but they're usually low-key and don't reveal their identities. Those who do reveal themselves are usually from the demonic path, and we dare not interact with them, so we can only guess. However, due to so people coveting our money, we've encountered many impostors claiming to be Cultivators."
Ye Tianfan understood the Shopkeeper implied there's a Demon Beast in this small town, though he doubted it had been a problem for two years; the Shopkeeper might be exaggerating for sympathy.
The crucial point was they relied on guessing to identify Cultivators and had t several frauds.
Ye Tianfan knew the Shopkeeper might suspect him of being a fraud, attempting to coax proof he was genuine.
Ye Tianfan chuckled amusedly and raised a sword finger with his right hand.
Instantly, the chopsticks on the tavern tables floated into the air.
Upon seeing this scene, the Shopkeeper completely believed Ye Tianfan was a Cultivator. Although he was sowhat convinced before, past deceptions made him cautious. Now, Ye Tianfan had proven himself, bringing great joy to the Shopkeeper, who finally found a genuine Cultivator capable of dealing with the town's Demon Beast problem.
The Shopkeeper proceeded to endlessly apologize to Ye Tianfan, constantly pouring wine and serving him dishes.
At this point, the shop boy finally went to the kitchen to instruct the cook to prepare hearty dishes and fetch the Shopkeeper's treasured wine and first serve the wine to Ye Tianfan before notifying the mayor.
When the mayor arrived, Ye Tianfan had already eaten and drunk his fill, chatting casually with the Shopkeeper in the tavern hall and learning about the Demon Beast situation.
Before the mayor arrived, Ye Tianfan had almost fully grasped the situation of the Demon Beast.
It was a Weasel Demon Beast that hadn't caused major trouble, just constantly stealing chickens and cattle from the town. One day this family's chicken disappeared, the next day that family's cow was taken.
Once or twice was tolerable, but this happened nearly daily. Considering the small town's residents, who were mostly not wealthy, those poultry were painstakingly raised, ant for sale or personal consumption.
After finally raising the livestock, they were ravaged by the beast, leaving several families without a livelihood, forcing them to borrow money.
This beast had caused trouble for two years, during which the mayor organized local labor to try to eliminate the Demon Beast.
