1097: Chapter 668 1097: Chapter 668 Those knowledgeable in spells could only feel a surge of energy, a wave of pressure that rendered them immobile!
There were, in fact, some who hoped to seize this chance to meet such a powerful individual, yearning for even the slightest favor from the fingers of an Immortal!
“Hmm, not bad.
Though there isn’t much spiritual energy in the food, it’s done with a unique style—delicious!”
Eryao the foodie began to shower praise!
After all, this was the Mortal Realm.
Eating seafood and meat infused with even a trace of spiritual energy was already commendable!
This table wasn’t cheap; in the Mortal Realm, meals could be paid for with gold and silver treasures, perhaps even silver notes!
However, they didn’t carry the silver notes of this place.
Silver was universally accepted everywhere, and gold just the same.
They lacked neither Spirit Stones nor gold and silver treasures, so how could they ever be short?
Having traversed so many nations, they’d amassed abundant treasures in equal measure!
They could be said to have immense wealth, eating whatever they pleased!
Jiang Tang went out of his way to fetch wine from his spatial dimension, specifically to toast with Ye Tian!
Eryao and the Green Ox joined in the fun as well; aside from steeping tea earlier, they now helped pour wine.
Never mind having a meal, it was all about drinking and feasting!
The waiter had just brought out a few dishes earlier and now returned with more!
The door would automatically open when the waiter knocked, yet anyone else trying to enter would be unable to.
Even as the waiter finished serving all the dishes, no one else could get inside!
At this moment, the families of those women outside had heard the commotion and came rushing over, only to find they couldn’t get in!
The innkeeper’s daughter, in fact, was one of those women gambling outside earlier!
Just moments ago, she had failed to recall that this restaurant was her family’s business!
These graceful, handsome men—none of them had managed to start a conversation!
The meal came to an end amidst drinking and chatting.
The delectable seafood here sparked their interest in exploring this region further!
Eryao, a Divine Dragon, then suggested adventuring across the seas!
Jiang Tang didn’t decline; he merely glanced at Ye Tian and nodded without asking for his agreement.
Being in a different place—the very domain Jiang Tang had traversed—Ye Tian, being his brother-in-law, couldn’t very well object!
Ye Tian sighed inwardly at Jiang Tang’s whims, akin to his unruly pet.
Shouldn’t they have returned to the Cultivation World sooner?
Though he sighed in his heart, he felt resigned.
After all, he wasn’t capable of traversing every realm at will.
This was the limitation of ability—she wasn’t someone who could tear open space and move freely between worlds.
Ye Tian had always believed he could traverse realms because of his ability to tear space apart!
Jiang Tang once overheard Ye Tian asking if he possessed such skill.
He didn’t reply, letting Ye Tian hold onto a delightful misconception.
Originally intending to journey to a particular locale for an opportunity, he had to rely on the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, though keeping its existence secret was imperative.
Even Ye Tian, despite being his brother-in-law, couldn’t refuse; upon reaching certain realms, they’d entered one of the Elf Worlds together!
And from then on, they had become inseparable.
Now they were a group of wandering bachelors, traversing lands without women or even sisters by their side.
Their focus now was to seek the path of Ascension, though this path might be fraught with challenges, necessitating numerous tasks at every location!
At least for now, they couldn’t refuse—tasks had to be completed.
Failing these tasks might mean they gain no merits or cannot use them to advance their cultivation!
Jiang Tang, with his spatial dimension, herbs, and unique cultivation method, didn’t need solitary meditation; he possessed a formidable ability to absorb energy autonomously!
Every day, he controlled the spiritual energy gathered from various locations into the space within his body!
Had he not continuously tempered it, he would have reached his ascension by now!
Yet now, Ascension remained elusive.
On this quest for the Ascension Path, he couldn’t let the Heavenly Dao pursue him too closely, for achieving the requisite cultivational strength for Ascension might become overpowering, rendering his suppression abilities ineffective!
At this stage, all he could do was slow himself down and aim for the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Though unable to reach it yet, nor tear open space, who exactly was he?
Equipped with the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space—a priceless artifact—he could roam amongst stars, suns, moons, and disparate equilibrium spaces!
As they finished their meal and prepared to leave, silver was left on the table, ensuring it was plenty, even excessive!
This meal may have cost dozens or even over a hundred taels of silver—but silver, and even gold, never weighed heavily on their minds!
The aroma of alcohol wafted out, triggering cravings in those nearby.
When the door opened, the women waiting outside, alongside the eager men wanting to draw near, or families of these men and women, as well as gambling women, caught sight of the Immortal men they had been waiting for, emerging at last!
This realization—that the men were about to leave and wouldn’t be staying—left the crowd flustered, fearing that failing to seize this opportunity would mean losing their chance forever!
“Immortal, could you grant us an autograph?”
“Immortal Young Gentleman, may I invite you to our home for a gathering?”
“Immortal Young Gentleman, what is your name?
Where are you from?
Could we get to know you?”
The hubbub outside grew noisy and slightly irritating.
The burning gazes made refusing them seem cold-hearted.
In this unfamiliar place, should they accept or decline the invitations?
Jiang Tang showed no reaction, stepping out first, followed by his entourage and a leisurely Ye Tian at the rear.
All eyes fixed on them, glowing with anticipation!
Jiang Tang had no interest in mingling or engaging too much; Cultivators and ordinary folk walked inherently separate paths.
Strangers they were—perhaps akin to idols and fans, or mere passersby and locals.
Once they left this city, who would even remember whom?
Jiang Tang released a slight stream of energy, instantly silencing the clamor, imposing a pressure that made the crowd feel this man’s overwhelming power!
The oppressive aura flooded over them, leaving them breathless, as though swept by an invisible whirlwind pushing them to other directions!
This gust might well crush them; the intangible wind whipped people aside, pinning them against corridor walls, some shoved into nearby rooms, creating an escape passage!
Under such pressure, they could neither advance nor retreat.
The gamblers, admirers, and those unwilling to let go remained ensnared within this force, unable to speak or move, their bodies frozen in place!
All they could do was watch the formidable Immortal men descend the staircase from the second floor, as people throughout the inn—upstairs, downstairs, and in the hall—gaped as they exited!
The innkeeper and waiters, hoping to ask if the gentlemen had enjoyed their meal,
realized they hadn’t yet spoken—not even about how much had been consumed or how the bill would be settled!
With their ears pricked, they caught a melodious male voice saying, “The silver is already on the table.
No need to count!”
This voice lingered in their ears; they thought it was an auditory illusion but soon realized it wasn’t!
Unlike those entranced by the Immortal’s power, the innkeeper and waiters weren’t affected and rushed to bow before hurrying upstairs.
With the gathered crowd cleared away, they ascended to the second floor unimpeded and reached the room where the meal had been held!
Inside the room lingered a heavenly fragrance of tea and wine, the air still imbued with the essence of the Immortals.
Seeing silver left behind, amounting to over a hundred taels, it seemed they were well-compensated!
The waiter noted that the wine cups and tea cups used by the Immortals were no longer on the table!
He felt deeply envious—Immortals truly were incredible beings, demonstrating immense martial prowess.
All it took was one look at the immobilized crowd to confirm this!
As for the city residents, who had always caused havoc here, compared to mighty Immortals, they were mere clay figurines!
Pan City, within the span of fifteen minutes, bustled back to life with fervor.
The news of Immortals dining here and leaving satisfied spread like wildfire!
The women who failed to gamble, along with the men eager to meet the Immortals, were left in disappointment, having invested their hearts fully and now being left to recollect the Immortals only in dreams!
