Chapter 110: Gathering at Tianxiang Tower
Chapter 110: Gathering at Tianxiang Tower
A plaque with the three words "Tianxiang Tower" inscribed on it.
Wang Qiye withdrew his gaze, but there was still a sense of charm lingering in his heart. The person who wrote these three words must be a great calligrapher.
The three words are not obvious at first glance, but when you look at them again, it seems that the aroma of food is hidden in them. When you look at them again, there is the aroma of a glass of wine lingering around your nose, which is really unforgettable.
"Dear guests, please come in."
The two waiters opened their arms, bowed their heads, and let the guest in.
Only then, with the help of Ling Mufeng, did Wang Qiye step over the threshold, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Entering Tianxiang Tower, it feels like traveling back in time to ancient times. The first thing that catches your eye is the towering red columns, which stand upright and support the magnificent structure of the entire building. The columns are carved with exquisite patterns, with insects, animals, flowers and other elements complementing each other and appearing lifelike.
Going further in, you can see a spacious and bright hall. The floor is paved with gorgeous marble, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the giant lamps hanging from the ceiling. The lights flicker like stars, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the whole space.
Looking around, the walls are covered with precious calligraphy and paintings. These works are delicate in brushwork and bright in color, showing a high level of artistic level. Each painting tells a story, making people intoxicated and feeling the historical and cultural heritage.
The decorative details inside Tianxianglou are also amazing. The carved screens cleverly separate different areas, maintaining the independence of the space while adding a sense of hierarchy. The tables and chairs are made of fine wood, with smooth and elegant lines and a faint fragrance. The cushions and backrests are embroidered with exquisite patterns, which complement the overall environment.
Walking in such a magnificent ancient building, it feels like being in the imperial palace. Every scene is fascinating and makes people linger. This is not only a building, but also a work of art, showing the wisdom and skills of the ancients. This is just a restaurant for eating, which really let Wang Qiye see the luxury of the cultivation civilization.
"We have already reserved Box 5 on the third floor."
Ling Mufeng spoke calmly. It was obvious that he had been here many times and was not shocked by the Tianxiang Tower.
"Sir, this way."
The waiter nodded and bowed, leading the way in front and shouting loudly.
"Box No. 5 on the third floor, two distinguished guests!"
Ling Mufeng and Wang Qiye then turned around and walked up the spiral staircase at the left corner of the lobby, following the waiter to the third floor.
"Brother Wang is here."
"Master Wang is finally here."
After hearing these words, no one showed any dissatisfaction, but they were still somewhat surprised when they saw Ling Mufeng supporting Wang Qiye in.
"Brother Wang, what happened? He was fine at noon."
Wang Qiye's injuries were certainly visible to everyone. Zhu Qishan asked the question first, and his expression of surprise was the same as everyone else's, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Let's serve first."
Wang Qiye sat down in an empty seat and then slowly told the story.
"After returning, I gained some insights from the flag-grabbing battle. I never thought that I had disturbed the source of blessings in Lingxi Valley and my realm became loose. Everything was peaceful and fine at first, but after breaking through the realm, I didn't expect that there would be another trend of breaking through."
"Wang has just successfully established his foundation and has never experienced anything like this. He was afraid that his realm would advance too quickly, so he panicked and closed the valve of his spiritual power. He didn't expect that it would backfire and lead to his current situation."
"Brother Wang, have you reached the second level of foundation building?"
Zhu Qishan screamed again. This guy's focus was not on Wang Qiye's injuries, but on hearing that Wang Qiye had made another breakthrough.
But now his Qi is weak, and he can't tell the strength of a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Yes, you still expect a seriously injured person to have a strong Qi.
Wang Qiye just nodded and did not reveal the fact that he was at the third level of foundation building, for fear of scaring everyone present.
"Oh, Brother Wang, you have missed a great blessing. For this Dharma practice, as long as you lay a solid foundation in the Qi Refining Stage, the road ahead will be smooth and you will no longer have to worry about progress. As long as you can reach the top of each major realm, you can stand on the top of the mountain."
After hearing this, Bai Lang was so upset that he almost banged the table.
"I never thought that Senior Brother Wang, who had obtained the thousand-year-old elixir all by himself, would miss out on such good fortune. What a pity!"
His other fellow disciples also felt sorry for him and wished they could take his place.
"Ah, I didn't expect that I would progress so quickly. I haven't even read about the things I should pay attention to during the foundation-building period. But the injury has been controlled. After another 9 days of boiling the medicine, it will be almost healed."
After hearing all the different opinions, Wang Qiye felt as if he had really missed something. However, he did not regret it. He just felt sorry for the money that was wasted on his treatment.
"Sir, your dishes are here. There are twelve dishes in total, two soups, one sour and one sweet, paired with our homemade Tian Xiang Zui. Please enjoy your meal."
After the waiter served the dishes, he announced the names of the dishes and politely closed the door.
"Come, come, come, Brother Wang, please go first. You are the protagonist of this secret realm. Come and try the main dish of Tianxiang Tower, the Drunken Arhat with Five Animals."
"This dish uses five kinds of magical birds and five kinds of vegetarian dishes. It is cooked with a unique method and carefully boiled for nine days."
"This dish is sold in limited quantities every day. If you don't make a reservation in advance, you basically can't order it. Brother Wang is so blessed that we all benefit from it. After we said goodbye at the activity square at noon, I came straight here. The shopkeeper told me that there was only one portion left, so I ordered it."
Ling Mufeng smiled brightly, pointing at the main dish placed in the middle of the table. It was shaped like five mountains, decorated with colorful vegetables, and emitted a cloud of mist.
Wang Qiye was not polite either. He knew that these people were not only afraid of his strength at the "Second Level of Foundation Building", but they were afraid that they would not dare to pick up their chopsticks before he started eating.
I picked up the chopsticks and slowly moved towards the main dish. I originally wanted to pick up a leg, but I picked up a wing instead. Fortunately, I just had to pick it up and slowly moved it towards my mouth.
The reason why I am so slow is that my body is not coordinated yet. If I were to go too fast, I might not even be able to put it in my mouth.
Only then did the fellow disciples start to pick up their chopsticks, all heading towards this famous dish of Tianxianglou.
This unknown bird's wing, you can't help but smell the fragrance as soon as you put it in your mouth. When you take a bite, it is not only chewy, but also has a flavor that explodes your taste buds, making you want to chew your tongue and increase your appetite.
"Tianxianglou is indeed worthy of its reputation. This cooking skill is more than one level better than Senior Sister Ji Ru."
Zhu Qishan began to pour wine for everyone, and only then did Shiyou Liang dare to drink up the small cup in front of him and ask for another cup. Wang Qiye saw it all, and he knew that Shiyou Liang just liked wine, but he was not stupid.
"I didn't expect that even though Brother Wang was seriously injured, he still cared about his fellow disciples and came here in person. We will never forget such a loyal and righteous person. Come, let us toast Brother Wang."
Ling Mufeng is indeed quite capable and lives up to the name of White Wolf. Wang Qiye looks up to him in terms of how he treats people and how he deals with things.
"Respect Senior Brother Wang."
"Respectfully, Brother Wang."
All the brothers raised their glasses. They had thought that this guy was showing off and was late on purpose. But now they all felt that Wang Qiye was a good person and gave them enough face.
"Everyone is welcome."
Wang Qiye also picked up the small cup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
"This Tian Xiang Zui is really good. It's not spicy at first, but has a mellow taste. It's not as strong as Xiao Yao San Ren. There's a floral scent lingering on the tip of the tongue for a long time, and after three circles it turns into a sweet taste that makes people linger in the aftertaste."
"Good wine."
Wang Qiye couldn't help but take a bite. This wine was indeed unique.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Bailang quickly asked everyone to pick up their food.
"Brother Wang, I have offended you before. I apologize to you here. I hope you will not take it personally in the future."
Chu Liyue filled the small cup in front of Wang Qiye, poured herself another cup, picked up the glass in front of her, and apologized to Wang Qiye.
"We are young and energetic, so it's normal to have some conflicts. To be honest, I don't take it to heart."
Wang Qiye also picked up the wine glass, not because he was greedy, but because this flower wine had a unique power. After drinking it, the dull pain in his hidden injury seemed to be relieved.
It seems that this wine is not as simple as it seems. Tianxianglou is able to survive with this wine, which is indeed a great accomplishment. However, Wang Qiye also knows that he should not drink too much. It is better to drink in moderation, otherwise his injuries will get worse.
"Brother Wang, I'll do it first."
Having said that, Chu Liyue drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Qiye also drank the wine slowly, and the two of them forgot about their past. To be honest, Wang Qiye really didn't take Chu Liyue, a little girl, seriously. With more than 30 years of experience, how could he treat a little girl like that?
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
"Brother Wang, we were able to succeed this time only because of the powerful weapons of our sect. Several of my fellow disciples were just discussing this, racking their brains but still couldn't figure out how Brother Wang did it."
Ting Yu Jian opened a paper fan, fanned it twice, smiled, and looked at Wang Qiye with bright eyes.
"Yes, Senior Brother Wang, if it's convenient for you, please tell us about it!"
The look in Ning Yuxi's eyes when she looked at Wang Qiye was already full of stars.
"Actually, this is a long story."
Wang Qiye put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at everyone present, and found that everyone was looking at him more or less. There was still a surge of heroism in his chest, and he felt that he was emitting a dazzling light at this moment.
I never thought that after living as a human being for several lifetimes, I still can't escape this cliché.
