Chapter 502 - 194: Approaching Heavenly Spirit City, God Abyss Zhang Qiuye! (Major - update!) _2
"Nephew Qing Xuan, Nephew Chang’an."
When Chen Chang’an and Lin Qingxuan arrived at the Taiyi Sect’s lodging, someone had already been there to greet them.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, draped in a green Daoist Robe, sporting a goatee.
"Uncle Yang, have the arrangements been made?" Lin Qingxuan immediately asked as he spotted the man.
The man was Elder Yang Qishan in the Taiyi Sect. He was the main elder in charge of Tianling State and generally coordinated all affairs in the state.
"Nephew Qing Xuan, and Nephew Chang’an, your lodgings are arranged at Tianyue Inn."
"You can go right ahead and get situated," Yang Qishan said.
Tianyue Inn was an exception in Tianling State.
It was an establishment backed by an immense force pervading the entire Wuxiang Realm, alleged to have been started by the Jiudao Sect.
The Jiudao Sect was primarily a business-oriented sect.
While the internal strength of the sect was not that substantial, being significantly less than any of the Seven Stars of the Wuxiang Realm, they possessed extensive connections and resources.
From the pinnacle Dao Paths of Taiyi Sect to the ordinary petty traders, their footprint was everywhere.
Therefore, even though the sect didn’t possess great power, it was an entity nobody wanted to provoke.
Of course, there was no necessity for provocation, either.
"Alright, thanks, Uncle Yang."
Guided by Yang Qishan, Chen Chang’an and Lin Qingxuan quickly arrived at the so-called Tianyue Inn.
As two people from the Five Great Dao Paths, Tianyue Inn reserved rooms specifically for such individuals. Normally these rooms were kept vacant and were made available as soon as someone arrived. The rooms prepared for Chen Chang’an and Lin Qingxuan were the parcelled ones.
"Hmm, not bad." Chen Chang’an carefully examined the room and found the facilities pretty decent. The room even had a Spirit Gathering Array set up, with an abundance of Spiritual Energy swirling around, making it comparable to some of the blessed lands. It was clearly meticulously arranged.
There were two rooms, one for Chen Chang’an and one for Lin Qingxuan. Lin Qingxuan fell silent upon entering his room.
On his side, Chen Chang’an did not disturb him but sat on his bed, meditating in silence.
Thud Thud Thud~!
About half a day had passed when there was a soft knock on the door from outside, the sound gentle and polite:
"Respected guest, I apologize for the disturbance, but it’s almost six o’clock, the time when our inn starts serving meals. If you intend to dine, you may come down at that time."
"Guests in the VIP rooms receive a 20% discount on their meals. We apologize for any inconvenience," came the voice of a servant.
"Alright, I understand. Thanks, kid," Chen Chang’an’s voice echoed in response.
Thud Thud Thud~!
Shortly after, another knocking sound was heard from the other side of the wall.
"Boy, let’s go, I can already smell all the delicious food. This time, I am going to get my fill!" The feeble Shen Xuzi leaped out of the room, already eager for the meal.
"Old man, have you eaten here before?" Upon seeing Shen Xuzi’s excitement, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a little curious.
Shen Xuzi shook his head, "Not exactly, but I have heard a great deal about this place. I’ve wanted to visit for a while, but out of fear of those old geezers."
Understanding Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an remembered that for all these years, Shen Xuzi had been unable to leave that space. But with his control over the mysteries of the Great Taiyi, he was well informed about the world outside, including famous dining spots like Tianyue Inn.
"Boy, decide whether you’re coming or not. If not, I’ll go by myself!" Shen Xuzi grew impatient, which he had the right to, considering his conditions.
Over the past few days, while his cultivation had not improved much, he had become capable of conjuring a physical body using minimal celestial energy.
As long as the body doesn’t stray too far from its origin, it can maintain itself for a significant period of time. So if Chen Chang’an doesn’t go, Shen Xuzi might just go by himself.
"Fine, let’s go and take a look." Seeing Shen Xuzi’s eagerness, Chen Chang’an became curious of Tianyue Inn.
If the food was truly good, a visit would do no harm. Following a constant diet of Mao Ruxue’s dishes recently, he had grown somewhat tired of it.
"Hehe, that’s more like it, lad! Trust me, you won’t regret it!" Shen Xuzi gave Chen Chang’an a meaningful grin.
Chen Chang’an did not know nor wish to know what Shen Xuzi’s smile signified, but he could confirm one thing: Shen Xuzi was not bluffing. The food at Tianyue Inn was indeed excellent.
"How’s it? Boy, I didn’t lie to you, did I?"
At the dining table, Shen Xuzi picked a piece of steaming dish, exuding a rich aroma, and savoured it with delight. Biting into it, he looked at Chen Chang’an across the table, quite triumphant.
"Not bad at all." Chen Chang’an nodded. The dishes at Tianyue Inn were indeed commendable, far superior to those available in Tianshui City. It had a unique flavour. He considered finding a way to get Tianyue Inn to open a branch in Tianshui City.
