Chapter 607 - 337: Holy Immortal Village! (Part 2)
However, this family, after several generations, became weaker and weaker, gradually going downhill.
By the generation of the servant’s parents, it was close to ruin.
Finally, when this servant had lived for about a hundred years, with the death of his parents, the family’s power greatly declined.
After all, it was once a large family, with many treasures in the past.
During the family’s decline, the treasures and secret manuals were lost one by one.
Nevertheless, even by his parents’ generation, the family’s secretly kept treasures were unmatched by ordinary medium-sized families.
With the death of his parents, the family’s power diminished, attracting various cultivators to snatch the family’s treasures.
This servant took the most precious secret manual and celestial medicine of the family and hurriedly left, hiding his identity from then on.
From this servant’s memory, Su Que learned of the memory of the servant taking the secret manual and what celestial medicine the servant had.
The secret manual was ordinary.
And the celestial medicine taken was almost used up by the servant.
Su Que put away the memory and ordered a few dishes from the servant.
Having obtained this servant’s memory, he naturally knew what dishes this restaurant offered.
This restaurant was quite bustling. The servant saw so many people every day and rarely paid attention to who had visited the restaurant.
Except for those who came here every day.
If Su Que appeared as if it were his first time visiting this restaurant, it would instead attract more attention.
The servant noted down Su Que’s order and then said, "Alright," and headed to the kitchen.
Before long, the dishes were served.
Su Que ordered three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish.
The meat dishes were made from two demon beasts and one divine beast.
One demon beast was a demon tiger.
It was served whole upon arrival.
The tiger’s fur had been stripped clean, and its hide was roasted red.
From the memories of the cultivators earlier, Su Que learned that the chefs in the Upper Realm used magic for cooking.
Therefore, their control over the heat was far superior to the chefs of the Small World.
Moreover, the Spiritual Qi in the Upper Realm was abundant, and the quality of the spices grown there was higher than those in the Lower Realm, making the flavors more layered.
This tiger was placed on the table, supported by a long tray.
The tiger, having died under the blaze, had its mouth opened in a fierce snarl, revealing its sharp fangs.
After the dish was served, the servant handed Su Que a knife for slicing the meat.
Su Que was moved and asked the servant to bring a jar of wine.
Shortly afterward, the servant brought a jar of wine.
The wine of the Upper Realm was brewed from spirit rice.
Spirit rice could only grow in places in the Upper Realm with dense Spiritual Qi.
Cultivators, after consuming it, could absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained within.
Wine brewed from spirit rice could not only cure certain cultivators of their craving for alcohol but also benefit their bodies.
Su Que called for the spirit wine merely to taste its flavor.
The servant opened the wine jar and served a pot of wine to Su Que.
The clear fragrance of the wine immediately wafted from the wine jar.
After placing a cup of wine, the servant left.
Su Que used the knife to slice the meat while tasting the spirit wine.
He carved off a piece of meat with the knife and then placed it in his mouth using the knife.
Instantly, the rich aroma of the meat exploded in his mouth.
Although it was demon beast meat, after the chef’s craftsmanship, the texture was surprisingly good.
Along with the flavor of the demon beast meat, which Su Que had never tasted before, an exciting feeling arose within him.
After eating a piece of meat, Su Que took a sip of wine.
The fragrant aroma of the spirit wine immediately spread across his tongue.
After slicing two more pieces of the demon tiger’s meat, Su Que looked toward the other dishes.
Another dish made with demon beast meat was a bowl of snake broth.
Su Que used a spoon to scoop the rich, milk-white snake broth into his mouth, savoring a flavor not available in the Small World.
The last meat dish was a divine beast dish, a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, made with Black Tortoise Relic as the main ingredient.
Su Que grabbed a bowl and served himself a portion of it.
He drank it and praised it heartily.
The remaining dish was stir-fried exotic grass.
Not only delicious, but upon consumption, it brought a slight medicinal power that nourished the body.
Without delay, Su Que feasted heartily.
After about the time of a stick of incense, he finished all the dishes and the jar of fine wine thoroughly.
Su Que then called for the servant to settle the bill.
In the Upper Realm, there were many forces in the Unclaimed Land with their currencies.
However, celestial medicine and elixirs were always hard currency.
The shopkeepers in the Upper Realm were masters in appraising celestial medicine and elixirs, capable of determining their value.
When the servant came, Su Que, utilizing the knowledge gained from other cultivators’ memories on valuing elixirs, took out a bottle of elixirs from his storage pouch.
After receiving it, the servant immediately took it to the shopkeeper for appraisal.
Su Que could see the shopkeeper receiving the elixirs and only slightly opening the elixir bottle’s stopper to smell the fragrance from afar.
Afterward, the shopkeeper nodded to the servant, indicating the value of the elixirs had been appraised.
The servant immediately returned and told Su Que, "Sir, your elixirs have passed appraisal, please take care."
Su Que nodded and left his seat.
After leaving the restaurant, he continued walking toward the center of the mountain stronghold.
The center of the mountain stronghold was a small city wall.
Those living inside were important figures of the stronghold, considered its leaders.
The stronghold maintained such a relatively stable order due to Tai Sui and others.
While walking toward the stronghold, Su Que used telepathy to acquire the memories of those he passed.
He thought the more information he gathered, the better he could deduce the whereabouts of the Sect Saint Zen Master.
As Su Que continued to read memories and walk forward, he suddenly sensed someone exiting the restaurant and following him.
’Why are these two following me?’ he thought.
Su Que deliberately slowed down to slightly close the distance between him and the two.
The two approached and entered the range of his telepathy.
Su Que, with a thought, activated his telepathy and immediately obtained the memories of these two people.
It turned out these two were spies for Tai Sui.
Tai Sui had them frequently monitor strange people entering the restaurant.
Especially those who spent money without hesitation.
Generally, such people were either fat sheep worth robbing or esteemed figures worth recruiting.
He instructed these two to first test the abilities of the strange people.
If their abilities were weak, the spies would capture them directly, rob them of their treasures, and interrogate them about other places where treasures might be hidden.
If their abilities were strong, they would treat them with respect and invite them to the mountain stronghold’s Unity Hall.
They would ask if they were willing to take a seat in the mountain stronghold.
After acquiring these two’s memories, Su Que immediately had a plan.
Coincidentally, the Sect Saint Zen Master was the second in command.
If he showcased some strength, he could enter the center of the mountain stronghold.
Maybe then, he could meet the Sect Saint Demon Monk.
Although he didn’t know Tai Sui’s exact power level within the Creation Realm.
However, with over 80,000 years of lifespan.
Those at the peak of the Creation Realm barely lived over 100,000 years.
This means, at present, his physical body and spirit were at least at the late stage of the Creation Realm.
Moreover, he possessed such extraordinary martial arts as the Dark Evil Fist.
Additionally, he had techniques like the Celestial Demon Dissolving Technique and Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill to force power.
He felt that even facing both the Sect Saint Demon Monk and Tai Sui simultaneously was not intimidating.
Of course, besides Tai Sui and the Sect Saint Demon Monk, the mountain stronghold had other cultivators holding seats.
However, from the memories of the two behind him, he knew the other cultivators hadn’t broken through the Merging Realm.
To someone like him now at Creation Realm cultivation, they posed no threat.
With a late stage Creation Realm body and advanced protective techniques like the Exotic Golden Bell Shield.
Whether those cultivators in the Merging Realm could breach his defense was another matter.
Hence, his opponents were only Tai Sui and the Sect Saint Demon Monk.
As Su Que pondered this, the two who were following had caught up, walking alongside him, and said:
"Friend, please hold on."
