Meeting the Old Serpent
At the foot of Myriad Gods Ridge stands the Myriad Gods Tower.
As a restaurant owned by Myriad Gods Ridge itself, Myriad Gods Tower is impeccable in terms of luxury, as well as the taste and quality of its food. Of course, the prices here are also staggeringly high; it wouldn't be surprising if a single meal cost the entire fortune of a Heavenly Passage Realm martial artist.
Those who can enter and leave the Myriad Gods Tower are not ordinary people. The foot of the Myriad Gods Ridge is a gathering place for all kinds of dignitaries all year round, including princes and marquises from various countries, geniuses and elders from aristocratic families, and there are too many rich people.
But even for these people, getting into the Myriad Gods Tower for a meal is not easy.
The Myriad Gods Tower has seven floors. Anyone with money can enter the first and second floors, but reservations are required, and the waiting list is already six months in advance.
The third floor and above do not require reservations, but unfortunately, money alone is not enough to get up; you also need status or power. Even the status of a prince, marquis, or even a monarch is useless here.
Yi Yun arrived at the Myriad Gods Tower at noon on the fifth day after his appointment with the old snake.
At this moment, Myriad Gods Ridge was at its busiest. Yi Yun hid Zuo Yan Xiaoyu in the God Descending Tower and put away the Great Evolution Spirit Boat early on. No one would have guessed that just a few hours earlier, he had killed two of Myriad Gods Ridge's Personal Disciple millions of miles away.
"This Myriad Gods Tower is truly impressive."
Yi Yun surveyed the seven-story building before him. Although the Myriad Gods Ridge was luxurious, it was also elegant. Every design was ingenious, giving people a sense of natural perfection. It was likely that the person who built the Myriad Gods Tower was also proficient in the laws, which was why the building was so harmonious and natural.
In Myriad Gods Tower stood four beautiful waitresses. They wore cheongsams, their figures were graceful and tall, and their long legs were faintly visible through the slits of their cheongsams. Yi Yun knew at a glance that these four girls were not just pretty faces; each of them had a cultivation level of at least the Dao Palace Realm.
These beautiful female entertainers were also outer disciples of the Myriad Gods Ridge. Although they were entertainers here, back in their countries, Heavenly Proud Daughter, revered and fawned upon by royalty and nobility.
Yi Yun paused at the door for a moment, then scanned the area with his senses and suddenly turned around. He saw an old man carrying a gourd of wine, walking towards him with a grin.
"Kid, I've been waiting for you for ages."
The old snake chuckled, but his smile looked somewhat lewd.
"Thank you for the array plate left by the senior. It has been a great help to this junior." Yi Yun clasped his hands in thanks. He already knew that the old snake was not simple, and now his guess was confirmed.
"Young man, stop with the irrelevant talk. Didn't you want to treat me to a drink? This Myriad Gods Tower has a wine called Immortal's Draught, which is said to make even a god-king drunk. I bet you've made quite a bit of money lately, haven't you? Today, treat me to Immortal's Draught. I'll drink nine or ten cans of it." The old snake interrupted Yi Yun, rubbing his hands and licking his lips.
It was like seeing a stunningly beautiful woman lying naked in bed; it was truly unbearable to look at.
The Myriad Gods Tower was bustling with activity, with people constantly coming and going, and everyone could clearly hear the old snake's loud voice. Many people looked at the old man and Immortal's Draught in surprise. As the Myriad Gods Tower's finest wine, Immortal's Draught cost 300,000 spirit jades for a single pot, which even Venerables couldn't afford. After all, spending 300,000 spirit jades on just one pot of wine was far too extravagant.
As for the taste of "Immortal's Draught," it is naturally the finest among wines. It is brewed with twenty-two kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and the brewing period is often over a thousand years. The saying that "Immortal's Draught" can intoxicate even gods and kings is somewhat exaggerated, but it is not entirely unfounded. Of course, the premise is that the drinker cannot deliberately use their vital energy to protect their mind and spirit, and can let the power of the wine enter their body. Only in this way can one experience that feeling of floating like an immortal.
The people near the Myriad Gods Tower were all the most distinguished of the elite. When they heard the old man say he wanted to drink ten or nine cans of the "Immortal's Immortal's Draught," they just smiled speechlessly and didn't care. They figured the old man had probably drunk too much wine and was just talking nonsense.
Yi Yun didn't know the price of Immortal's Draught, but judging from Old Snake's appearance, he guessed that he would probably have to spend a lot of money this time. However, Old Snake had indeed helped him a lot this time, so even if Immortal's Draught was expensive, he should still treat him.
"Since you enjoy this wine, senior, you can drink as much as you like, as long as I can afford it," Yi Yun said with a smile.
At this moment, one of the four girls dressed in cheongsams walked up to Yi Yun and said, "Young master, are you really going to drink the Immortal's Draught? This wine is only served to guests on the fifth floor and above in the Myriad Gods Tower. In other words, you must go to the fifth floor first to be qualified to order it. May I ask who you are?"
Yi Yun's cultivation level was only at the Dao Palace Realm, so his strength was naturally insufficient. In addition, the old rogue beside him was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar. It was unlikely that he would be able to enter the Myriad Gods Tower. However, as a hostess of the Myriad Gods Tower, the girl still maintained her politeness. She knew that many of the people who entered and left the Myriad Gods Tower had extraordinary status, which could not be seen from their appearance.
Most truly penniless and powerless fools would tremble at the sight of the Myriad Gods Ridge signboard; how could they dare to come in and cause trouble?
Yi Yun said to the woman in the cheongsam, "I am a disciple of Myriad Gods Ridge, and today I am hosting a banquet for a senior..."
As Yi Yun spoke, he took out his Personal Disciple token.
Several beautiful women in cheongsams were in the Myriad Gods Tower. They were all people with excellent eyesight. When they saw the token of the Personal Disciple, they were all startled. They naturally recognized that the token was genuine.
Personal Disciple!
Although the Myriad Gods Tower is difficult to enter, most of the time, those who come to eat there are just peripheral members of the Myriad Gods Tower Myriad Gods Ridge. The number of true elders and Personal Disciple is too small. Most of the time, they are in seclusion in the Myriad Gods Ridge for cultivation or are out on training trips. How could they have time to come to the Myriad Gods Tower often?
Four beautiful women in cheongsams hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Yi Yun, a gesture of respect that outer disciples would give to their Personal Disciple.
In an instant, their originally professional smiles became much more charming and eager, and their eyes even shone as they looked at Yi Yun.
All four girls wanted to entertain Yi Yun, but the two girls standing in front had already gained the upper hand.
"If you are Personal Disciple, you will receive the same treatment as an elder. The 'God Character Room' and 'Ridge' private rooms on the seventh floor are currently empty. You can choose either one, and I will take you up now."
The Personal Disciple of Myriad Gods Ridge receive extremely high treatment.
As they spoke, the two girls in cheongsams led Yi Yun and the old snake toward the seventh level of Myriad Gods Ridge.
Old Snake was quite satisfied with this treatment. He glanced at the many dignitaries present with an air of superiority, his eyes looking down on them without giving them a second glance.
"Old man, I say drinking nine out of ten cans of Immortal's Draught's is nothing, just a piece of cake."
The old snake spoke arrogantly, leaving many speechless. The young man was actually Personal Disciple the Myriad Gods Ridge, but who was this old man? Why would Personal Disciple of the Myriad Gods Ridge invite him for drinks?
