Things Seen and Heard in Yuanling City (Part Four)
Seeing this, Liao Pantu quickly floated out of his arms, sat down next to him, picked up the tea on the table, and gulped down a mouthful.
"Tsk, the free spiritual tea at this Immortal Fragrance Pavilion is still just tea flakes."
Turning his head, he saw Lin Xiao staring intently at him, and then coughed lightly and said:
"For a teenager like you to come to the most expensive Immortal Fragrance Pavilion in Yuanling City with such extravagant spending is bound to attract attention. If you don't order a cup of wine, people will definitely assume you're just a typical ten-year-old boy, and they'll cause you trouble once you leave."
Hearing his words, Lin Xiao felt that while there was some truth to them, he believed that this was definitely not the main reason.
"Is it because you wanted to drink that you asked me to order it?"
Exposed by him, Liao Pantu snorted lightly and said:
"So what if it is? I've been trapped here for decades, my mouth is so bland it's practically tasteless!"
Looking at the semi-transparent Senior Liao, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of:
"Senior, in your current soul state, you can eat and drink without any problems? Can you really taste it?"
Liao Pantu, with an expression that seemed to say, "Who do you think you are, kid?" stroked his beard and said:
"That's for sure. I cultivate the Soul Refining Instruction, and the function of my soul is far greater than that of an ordinary person's soul."
Meanwhile, after the waiter received the Spirit Stone and relayed the request for the private room to the kitchen, he went to the manager on the first floor and whispered:
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, did you see that just now? The guest I served looked like a young man, yet he knew Master Luo. He passed away more than two years ago."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper, who was collecting the Spirit Stone handed to him by the waiter, quickly gave him a look to shut up, and then said:
"Watch your words! What's the big deal? You've only been a waiter for a couple of years, you don't know. Many senior waiters like to pretend. And let me tell you," the shopkeeper said, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention before whispering to the waiter:
"I've heard people say that the older a person is, the more they like to pretend to be younger..."
"Why is that?" The waiter was puzzled. He was struggling with his cultivation at the Qi Refining First Layer. He thought that if he could obtain a high level of cultivation and live that long, he would be so happy that he would go out every day to show others how long he had lived!
Why is it that these truly highly skilled seniors prefer to be seen as young and easy to bully?
He didn't understand, but the shopkeeper, who had barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage with the resources he had accumulated over the years, did. He gently patted the waiter's shoulder and said:
"You'll understand later. This is why I brought you here to work as a waiter, so you wouldn't just bury yourself in cultivation at home all day and be unable to see through these social interactions."
The delivery service of Jiang Household Livestock Firm was very fast. Almost as soon as Lin Xiao and his group arrived at the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion, Lin Xiao's spirit pig was delivered.
The kitchen at the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion was clearly very efficient. Lin Xiao hadn't been chatting with Liao Pantu in the private room for long when he heard a knock on the door to serve the food.
Liao Pantu immediately shrunk back into the Soul-Nourishing Pendant and landed on the chair.
After temporarily deactivating the Isolation Formation, Lin Xiao called out, "Enter."
The waiter entered, carrying Dayi, tempting plate of roast suckling pig in one hand and a dish of crispy Silver-Tailed Fish in the other. After gently placing the dishes on the table, he took a cup of wine from his Storage Bag and placed it on the table before quietly taking his leave and closing the door behind Lin Xiao.
She didn't dare to look up or glance around the entire time, a stark contrast to her demeanor when she led him upstairs to the private room.
However, Lin Xiao no longer cared about these details. After reactivating the Isolation Formation to block out any sounds coming from inside the house, all he could see was the perfectly intact roast suckling pig on the table that looked incredibly appetizing!
Liao Pantu, who was in the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, quickly stretched out, sat back in his chair, picked up the chopsticks next to him, and was about to chop into the chest and abdomen of the roast suckling pig!
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao immediately picked up his chopsticks with lightning speed and reached out, snatching the most delicious tenderloin from the belly of the roast suckling pig before Senior Liao could grab it!
He smugly raised his eyebrows at Liao Pantu, then put the meat in his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it.
Given that this part of his soul body only possessed the strength of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Liao Pantu, Liao Pantu, who had taken the lead, still couldn't beat Lin Xiao. Looking at Lin Xiao's irritating appearance, he was furious. He simply turned his chopsticks to another part of the side, tore off a large piece of meat, and began to eat heartily.
Once he's fully recovered and has dealt with his nemesis, he's going to come and eat all by himself! He's going to order ten roast suckling pigs and eat them all by himself! He's got plenty of Spirit Stone!
Although Lin Xiao had eaten plenty of roast suckling pig in his previous life, he still found it incredibly delicious when he ate it again after more than ten years.
Moreover, this roast suckling pig truly lives up to its reputation as a spirit pig from the Immortal Cultivation Realm! And with the help of a professional chef who is also a cultivator, this roast suckling pig is so delicious that Lin Xiao almost couldn't bear to swallow it!
As you chew the tender, soft meat, sweet syrup slowly seeps out, releasing a delicate and savory flavor that bursts on your tongue. This deliciousness makes Lin Xiao and Liao Pantu, who originally intended to devour the meat, involuntarily close their eyes and savor it.
Only after the meat in their mouths had broken down between their teeth and the juices had completely overflowed and been absorbed by their throats and tongues did they open their eyes and reach for the next piece of roast suckling pig with their chopsticks.
The crispy Silver-Tailed Fish and the Pinhui Spirit Wine on the side seemed to have been temporarily forgotten.
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the lobby on the first floor below.
Lin Xiao picked up a small knife and cut the remaining roast suckling pig in half, then moved one half in front of him.
"This is mine, senior, you're not allowed to touch it!"
After saying that, he ran to the window of the private room, opened it, and began to watch the excitement of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The window on one side of the private room faced inwards, and Lin Xiao opened this one, sticking half his head out to look down at the noisy area.
A slender, simply dressed middle-aged cultivator stood in the middle of the hall, facing angrily at a well-dressed, smiling but somewhat contemptuous, obese middle-aged cultivator opposite him.
The thin, middle-aged cultivator appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. He glared angrily at the obese middle-aged cultivator before him and said:
"Your Wu Household promised me back then that if I made talismans for Wu Household for ten years, you would give me a spot in the Heavenly Profound Sect. I never expected you to go back on your word! I'm absolutely furious!"
