Immortal-Welcoming Tavern
"From now on, you will need to be more diligent in your spiritual practice."
Seeing that the two demons had noticed this, Fang Zelin began to explain to them in detail how their cultivation should proceed.
Over the years, watching the apprentice doctor continuously cultivate, Fang Zelin has come to understand some things.
These things are perfect for teaching the two demons.
The two demons became even more respectful, listening intently, afraid of missing a single word.
"Even the finest wine couldn't compare to this!"
A tavern fifty li outside Anzi County.
A large wine flag fluttered in the wind, and above it were four wildly dancing characters: "Immortal-Welcoming Tavern".
The rich aroma of wine wafts out from here, attracting passersby and merchants alike to stop and have a drink before continuing their journey.
This Immortal-Welcoming Tavern has only been open for a little over a year, yet its business is already booming.
The fame of this place even reached the imperial capital, Youjing.
In the entire Great Qian, there are very few people who don't know about Immortal-Welcoming Tavern.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of good wine!"
The customers don't call out the name of the wine, since this is the only kind of wine the shop offers.
Strangely, this wine doesn't have a name yet.
Upon hearing this, the busy shopkeeper exclaimed "Oh!" and immediately instructed his waiter to send the wine to the other party.
The man who called for the drinks was a scholarly-looking man with a somewhat pale complexion and worn-out clothes.
The men following behind them carried large knives at their waists.
Aside from its somewhat old appearance, the scabbard was otherwise unremarkable.
However, the shopkeeper recognized the visitor, who said he came from Anzi County.
However, he had never seen these people during his many years in Anzi County.
The shopkeeper found this rather strange.
He was the fisherman who, at that time, unwittingly entered a fairyland by the Yongding River.
After taking a jar of wine from there, he returned home.
When he opened the bottle that day, he was immediately overwhelmed by the rich aroma of the wine.
The aroma of the wine lingered for miles afterward.
Worried, he quickly took the jar of wine and left Anzi County.
Following the expert's advice, he mixed a drop of fine wine with a vat of good liquor, but after drinking it, he was still completely drunk and unconscious.
Then, he set his sights on the tavern.
With such a jar of fine wine, he could keep mixing it for the rest of his life without worrying about running out.
As he expected, after he opened the tavern, the reputation of Immortal-Welcoming Tavern spread rapidly.
Even more strangely, after the tavern opened, the noise was deafening.
And sometimes we encounter things that are hard to imagine.
Late at night, unclean things, or even fairies, often come to drink.
Some of these items are for offerings of paper money for the dead, while others are for offerings of deer antlers or herbs as payment for alcohol.
At first, he was a little apprehensive.
But I don't remember which guest mentioned it later, but they casually remarked that your wine has an ethereal quality.
Even if those unclean things are greedy, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you because of this celestial aura.
Just focus on running your shop.
He couldn't remember who said that, but it was precisely because of those words that he was able to run his tavern with peace of mind.
Even late at night, he still opens the shop door to welcome customers.
"Ah, good wine!"
Judge Wen carefully took a sip of the wine in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said with a hint of regret.
"What a pity! The dilution is too severe. Fifty years of fine Clear as Empty has been diluted like this; isn't that a terrible waste?"
Hearing this, Zhang Weichu looked somewhat helpless. The judge would criticize him every time he came.
"How about we go back to the immortal and ask him for a drink?"
"That won't do; it's not good to keep asking for it every time."
Upon hearing this, the judge immediately shook his head and said, "Although this wine is diluted with water, it can still satisfy your craving to some extent."
Although there were some regrets, it was also good because it was comfortable.
The shopkeeper wanted money, but he still had some money.
Zhang Weichu immediately stopped talking in their direction and glanced at the other tables, then suddenly froze.
He then gave a wry smile.
"Those look like my colleagues from next door; they've all arrived."
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's broad daylight; look around, and wow!
Wow, that's amazing!
Some underworld officials, or perhaps mountain gods, had infiltrated the crowd.
It's alright right now, it's daytime.
When night falls, even more strange and unusual things sneak in.
This place is called Immortal-Welcoming Tavern, but in reality, it's mostly spirits and little ghosts that come in.
"Hey, once Clear as Empty comes out, even colleagues who don't like wine will come and try it. It's not surprising."
Upon hearing Judge Wen chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice.
He said this because the recipe for this wine was originally from him.
He was naturally very happy to see that someone appreciated the ancient prescriptions he had collected for so long, feeling as if he had met a kindred spirit.
Or it could be something you like, or something that others acknowledge or approve of.
Thinking of this, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and gestured to his colleagues across the distance.
That's enough of a greeting between us.
"Shopkeeper, everyone says you obtained this wine from a sacred mountain. Which sacred mountain? Tell us so we can broaden our horizons!"
After a few rounds of drinks, someone couldn't help but ask a question.
Most of the drinkers who come here know about this.
However, the other party remained tight-lipped about where the celestial wine came from, much to the disappointment of many.
The other party entered the fairyland and obtained this celestial wine; if they were to enter, perhaps they could obtain even better things?
Even if all else fails, a bottle of divine wine could make them incredibly wealthy.
The business of the taverns here is truly the envy of countless people.
However, for some reason, no one seemed to be eyeing the tavern.
Ordinary drinkers have no idea that the place where they drink is a complete mixed bag.
In order to be able to drink another sip of the celestial wine, and then thinking of the person behind this celestial wine.
Therefore, many demons, or even the local lords, have intentionally shown them some kindness.
So much so that no matter how booming the business of this tavern was, there were never any unexpected incidents.
"Oh, I don't remember that at all. I was completely dazed at the time, both when I went in and when I came out."
Hearing this question, the shopkeeper looked helpless.
It was that time he got drunk that caused the trouble. It was late that day, and he was also craving something sweet, so he drank only half a glass and got tipsy.
Then, without thinking, he talked about what happened that day.
After that, the news spread.
