BXBX NOVEL Chapter 530 - 530: A Hundred Years (1)
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed. To ordinary mortals, they could experience life, aging, illness, and death in a hundred years. To a mortal country, it was possible for the world to change. However, to Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation or even Void Refinement and Body Integration, a hundred years was only a period of time in a long lifespan.
Gray Stone City.
The 12 main streets were even more prosperous. Cultivators were everywhere. Cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms could be seen everywhere. Ever since the other market cities in the Western District were frequently attacked by foreign races, this city at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion attracted human cultivators to live here.
On one of the streets, a graceful young man in embroidered clothes held a feather fan and accompanied two maidservants who looked like fairies, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the street.
“In front is Chao Hua Restaurant. I heard that the wine inside is the best in Gray Stone City. It can make a Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivator drunk. Let’s go, let’s go quickly.” The young man said excitedly. However, a maid shook her head. “Young Master An, Madam Jing said that you can’t drink today.”
The young man was Shen An, the eldest son of the first wife of the City Lord of Gray Stone City. Although he had a noble status, he had been strictly disciplined since he was young. When he heard Aunt Jing’s words, he could not help but lower his head. “Aunt’s divination has always been very accurate. It seems that I really can’t drink today. Forget it, let’s go to a restaurant to enjoy delicious food.” As he spoke, his eyes darted around. “Don’t tell me that I can’t even eat. It’s not easy for me to come out.”
The two pretty maids smiled and said, “Sure, sure.”
“That’s more like it!”
Shen An ran to a restaurant. Before he could enter, he was stopped by a shop assistant. “Fellow Daoist, the door sign says that it only serves cultivators above the Golden Core realm. Your cultivation level is not high enough, so you should go to another restaurant!”
Shen An blinked. His hundred years of cultivation was mainly to lay the foundation and increase his bloodline. His cultivation progress was indeed not fast. He was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment until now. He did not expect that he would even be qualified to enter a restaurant when he went out.
The maid behind him immediately went forward. “Why should only cultivators above the Golden Core realm enter? Could it be that your restaurant is afraid that we can’t afford the spirit stones?”
The shop assistant was just about to retort when he sensed the maid’s aura. He couldn’t see through her and immediately became enthusiastic. “Please calm down. It’s not that the shop doesn’t entertain people below the Golden Core realm, but the various ingredients in the restaurant are precious. It’s very difficult for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to withstand the spiritual energy of the ingredients.”
When Shen An heard that, he was interested. “Oh, there’s such a thing. Then, if I can withstand it, can I go in?”
The shop assistant hesitated. “I can’t make the decision. Please wait a moment. I’ll ask the shopkeeper to come over.”
Not long after, the restaurant manager came over.
First, he cupped his hands and bowed to the two maids. Then, he chuckled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you have to act within your capabilities. If anything happens, our store can’t bear the responsibility!”
Shen An patted his chest. “Don’t worry. If anything happens, it doesn’t matter to your shop. You can record this with the photostone.”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, “How about this? I have a bottle of wine here. If you can take a sip and not get drunk, I’ll allow you to enter.”
His shop was not only about the ingredients, but mainly because it was filled with Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if these Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators deliberately suppressed their auras, Foundation Establishment cultivators would feel uncomfortable.
“Okay!”
The surrounding cultivators began to watch. The shopkeeper took out some wine. They were also curious if this young man could not get drunk.
“This wine is called Immortal Spirit Spring. Even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators will get drunk in less than three cups. Fellow Daoist, try drinking it.”
Shen An took the wine and drank it in one gulp. The shopkeeper frowned, but when he saw that there was no change in Shen An’s aura, he could not help but be shocked. A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would definitely get drunk instantly after drinking a cup. Even the meridians in his body would not be able to withstand the alcohol. Who knew that this young man would be fine?
“That’s interesting. This little guy’s physique is very strong, and it seems to have a special bloodline.” A Divine Transformation senior saw some clues. Shen An smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, can I go in now?”
“Of course you can.”
In a private room not far away, a woman in a white and blue embroidered brocade dress watched this scene with a face cloth. Her red lips moved slightly. “Elder Huang, are you sure this person is the son of the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion?”
The old man behind her nodded. “From the information we obtained, it’s this person. Although he hasn’t appeared in the city many times, the True Treasure Pavilion didn’t deliberately seal off this information. The Body Integration elder of our sect, who’s a guest elder, has personally seen him. It’s confirmed.” “That’s good.” The veiled woman said softly, “In the entire western district of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, the only thing that can compete with the Penglai Immortal City is the True Treasure Pavilion. I hope our choice is right.” The old man shook his head and said, “We don’t have any other choice. Now that the situation of the human race has changed greatly, it’s all thanks to the True Treasure Pavilion.”
“Let’s follow the plan.”
In the quiet master bedroom of the City Lord Manor, Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. The explosive aura on his body gradually calmed down as the magical power of the strange beast circulated in his body.
Although he had focused on comprehending the Beast Scripture and the strange beast concept in the past hundred years, his cultivation level had still increased quite quickly.. After all, with the huge strange beast energy in the jade box of the Heaven Ascension Hall and the high-quality strange stone, his cultivation level was already at the mid-stage Body Integration realm!
