Chapter 0008: Casual Talk at the Tavern

For these outer disciples, the world of cultivation is vast and distant; these figures are like characters from the horizon, discussed merely to satisfy their own curiosity about gossip

In the time that followed, until the end of the midnight hour, no other individuals came to Shuangyue Valley.

A young man with a slight beard said: "When it comes to the four great immortal sects of the Southern Immortal Realm, the most formidable inner disciples are undoubtedly Meng Bai of the Luo Huang Immortal Sect, known as the Unbeaten Sword Meng Bai. His reputation is truly remarkable. It is said that he has mastered the Earth-Splitting Sword Technique to an extraordinary level, sweeping through with a single sword, he is indeed a terror in the realm of Earth-Splitting."

Wherever you go, listen to him spin tales, then drink three cups

It is said that Sister Song Lingbing from the Su Nv Xian Men is also very beautiful, her temperament is like an orchid in a secluded valley, somewhat cold, truly a stunning beauty

Therefore, although her reputation in the Southern Immortal Realm is lesser than that of Fu Yuqing and Song Lingbing, she still holds significant influence within the Qingfeng Immortal Sect

On Fengyun Mountain, there is only one restaurant, which is called the Idle Talk Restaurant. It is said to be run by the nephew of a certain elder who lacks the talent for cultivating immortality. The prices in the restaurant are somewhat on the higher side, but the quality of the dishes and the wine is truly exceptional

Then, half a jin of beef was ordered, half a jin of pig's tongue, and a bottle of Daughter's Red was brought in

It is not necessarily the case, for the senior brother of the Nine Turns Immortal Gate, Qu Ao, is reputed to have seven transformations and eighteen changes. His swordsmanship is enigmatic and unpredictable. Before Qu Ao had a confrontation with Meng Bai, Meng Bai was not necessarily the strongest.

Yan Zhen could only sigh helplessly in her heart. As the protagonist of the most talked-about event recently, she often faced such treatment wherever she went. It was not the first or second time that she had been the subject of gossip, and everyone believed that she was courting death.

A group of disciples engaged in such discussions suddenly mentioned Meng Bai's unique skills, then shortly after spoke of Qu Ao's formidable Seven Turns Eighteen Transformations sword technique, and then claimed that their sect's senior brother Ling Hu Xiao was the most powerful. They began to argue among themselves, recounting the past achievements of various figures.

After traversing a rugged mountain path and circumventing a bamboo grove, I finally arrived at the front of the Idle Talk Tavern

Upon entering the restaurant, one finds a simple arrangement within. There is a wine counter, a manager's counter, and merely dozens of wooden tables spread across two levels.

For instance, at the table on the east side of the first floor, several male disciples were engaged in discussion. One of the male disciples said: "In fact, among the younger disciples of the four major sword sects in the Southern Cultivation Realm, the most beautiful is Senior Sister Fu Yuqing, an inner disciple of the Su Nu Immortal Gate. It is said that Senior Sister Fu Yuqing's beauty is exquisite, resembling a celestial being descended to the mortal realm, which is why she is known in the cultivation world as the 'Celestial Beauty Fu Yuqing'.

Yan Zhen listened to the discussions and arguments of these people, secretly thinking to herself that today she would observe which one of them was more formidable. One day, she too would become the subject of debate among the crowd regarding who was more powerful.

Beef has a chewy texture, while pig's tongue is also extremely tender

Tsk tsk, I had seen her once before; at first, it was just an ordinary bridge, but after her appearance, it seemed as if the entire bridge and the whole river were imbued with an ethereal aura, she was like the goddess of the riverbank

The male disciple with the surname Zhang said somewhat indignantly: "Don't mention it, that girl with the surname Lin is as unapproachable as water and fire; it's not easy to pursue her."

This male disciple has seen Fu Yuqing once, and to this day he is astonished by her beauty, speaking of her with eyes filled with infatuation.

While secretly laughing, six or seven outer disciples happened to see Yan Zhen. The one in the lead said, "Oh, isn't that Yan Zhen?"

On the couplet at the entrance of the tavern, the upper line reads: "What are you busy with? Drink my fine wine, one cup for a hundred wen"

One can only allow these people to discuss, of course, it is inevitable to mutter a few words in one's heart, these sparrows do not understand the ambitions of the swan.

The Demon Path is primarily represented by the Flame Demon Sect, whose leader is Yan Chongtian, one of the four great leaders of the Demon Sect

Yan Zhen secretly laughed to herself, it was fortunate that you and the Lin surname female disciple did not go to Shuangyue Valley on the night of the full moon last night, which saved us a lot of trouble

I plan to go for a drink

The table on the west side of the first floor was discussing the young masters of the Four Great Sects.

The nod at the beginning: "That's right, it's that utterly foolish Yan Zhen without limits."

One cannot possibly respond to each of these individuals' remarks one by one.

Many people come to this restaurant to eat and drink, making it quite lively

Moments later, the food and drinks were served, and Yan Zhen began to drink heartily, feeling the wine flow into his stomach, bringing an unparalleled sense of comfort and ease

Yan Zhen casually picked up a bamboo hat and set off towards the Idle Talk Tavern

Yan Zhen had not walked far when he encountered a group of people, approximately six or seven in number. Among them, one looked somewhat familiar; it was none other than the Zhang surname male disciple who had wanted to invite the Lin surname female disciple to the Shuangyue Valley to enjoy the moon.

Currently, six or seven male disciples are all looking at Yan Zhen with expressions of curiosity. Even the Zhang surname disciple, who had just failed in pursuing a girl, is now looking at Yan Zhen with an extremely curious gaze

Yan Zhen hummed a tune softly as she walked, feeling quite cheerful and in high spirits

Another young man said

As Yan Zhen passed by these individuals, he thought of something: if he were to casually visit a tavern for drinks, he would likely be the subject of incessant gossip before he had even finished two cups. It seemed he would need to acquire a bamboo hat; with the hat obscuring his face, others would not recognize his identity, allowing him to enjoy his drinking in peace

Indeed, our senior brother Linghu Xiao among the inner disciples of the Qingfeng Sect is an exceptionally formidable individual. Although he lost to Meng Bai two years ago due to a slight misstep, he has made a comeback now and may not necessarily lose to Meng Bai this time.

Just then, someone nearby asked about the performance of the male disciple with the surname Zhang yesterday

In the Southern Immortal Realm of the Great Ji Kingdom, the righteous path confronts the demonic sect.

A disciple from the outer sect, dressed in blue, spoke

A male disciple argued from the side that Murong Xiaoyi is almost the most beautiful young disciple among this generation of Qingfeng Sect, whether inner or outer disciples. She possesses an extraordinarily stunning beauty, with an unparalleled charm, and countless male disciples of Qingfeng Sect aspire to pursue Murong Xiaoyi

This couplet is indeed lively and interesting

In times of success, one must indulge in joy, and not let the golden goblet face the moon empty

Another male disciple opposed, saying that he had always been at odds with that outer sect disciple who had met Fu Yuqing.

Recently, some individuals with peculiar tastes have begun to study the various sects to discover their most stunning beauties. Of course, the universally acknowledged first beauty among the Four Great Sword Sects remains the transcendent fairy, Fu Yuqing, while the fame of others is comparatively lesser.

Yan Zhen ultimately emerged from Shuangyue Valley and began to walk towards Fengyun Mountain, at this time the sky was gradually brightening

At this time, there were still many people in the restaurant, and when these individuals gathered together, they could not help but discuss the gossip of the immortal cultivation world

Many disciples thus began to argue. In the realm of cultivation, the righteous young women and the demonic women always attract everyone's attention. When it comes to which sect or school has several stunning beauties, most people in the cultivation world can recount them as if they were treasured family heirlooms

This indeed left Yan Zhen somewhat disappointed; if a few more people were to come, and if he could kill and seize treasures, wouldn't that be exhilarating? What a pity!

Another outer sect disciple said: "Is it that fool Wu Jixian, who issued a life-and-death challenge to Ouyang Song for the sake of a woman, that Yan Zhen?"

The inner disciple of our Qingfeng Immortal Sect, Murong Xiaoyi, is quite good-looking

The west wind blows fiercely, filling the courtyard; the cold fragrance of the flowers makes it difficult for butterflies to come.

If in the coming years I become the Azure Emperor, I shall ensure that the peach blossoms bloom in the same place

Yan Zhen sat in the seat by the window, which is a small habit of hers

The Master Brother Linghu Xiao is mighty and will surely prevail

Yan Zhen sat to the side, listening attentively to the gossip of the cultivation world while drinking, most of which pertained to the southern cultivation realm

Having killed Ouyang Song's old servant, and obtained the scroll of celestial delicacies and the Xumi ring, how could one possibly feel unhappy

The righteous path is led by the Four Great Immortal Sects. The Four Great Immortal Sects are the Luo Huang Immortal Sect, renowned for its fierce and domineering swordsmanship; the Jiu Zhuan Immortal Sect, famous for its unpredictable and enigmatic sword techniques; the Qing Feng Immortal Sect, known for its elegant and agile sword skills; and the Su Nu Immortal Sect, distinguished for its defensive sword techniques.
