NOVPUBHe turned his head, his gaze indifferently sweeping over everyone present.
His peripheral vision unintentionally caught sight of Xu Zimei standing below, and Yan Buhui was momentarily startled.
"If you have nothing else to do, come with me," Qin Feiming said lightly.
"Where to?" Yan Buhui asked.
"To see the master. I won’t go back on what I’ve promised," Qin Feiming replied.
"We’ll talk about it later," Yan Buhui shook his head, slowly walked down from the arena, and headed straight towards Xu Zimei.
"Long time no see," he said, his gaze fixed on Xu Zimei.
He still remembered the slash from that day at Goose Southern Peak.
Back then, he had obtained the Sword God inheritance and thought highly of himself.
Yet, the other party had used merely one slash, and he still couldn’t forget Xu Zimei’s words filled with contempt.
"Work hard. Otherwise, you won’t even qualify to chase after my shadow."
......
"Have a drink?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
Yan Buhui nodded.
Watching the few people leave, Qin Feiming hurriedly followed from behind.
"What are you going to do?"
"I’ll wait for another opportunity for the Sword God’s inheritance," Yan Buhui shook his head and replied.
"That won’t do," Qin Feiming replied, "I’ve been waiting here for five years. Finally, I’ve found a suitable heir, and you must come with me." 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Why don’t you accept the inheritance yourself?" Xiao Guizi asked curiously.
"I’m not qualified," Qin Feiming paused for a moment and then looked up to say.
"Go take a look," Xu Zimei laughed and said to Yan Buhui, "After you’ve accepted the inheritance, you can choose to undergo your own training, or come find me at the Baili Family."
Yan Buhui nodded, asking with some confusion, "How do you know that I am suitable for the Eternal Sword God’s inheritance?"
"Your sword heart, you are clear about your own Sword Dao path," Qin Feiming replied concisely.
Watching Yan Buhui leave with Qin Feiming, Xu Zimei turned to Xiao Guizi with a smile and said, "The play begins, don’t be too nervous."
Xiao Guizi nodded and replied, "Brother, were they really the great terror from a long time ago?"
"From before the Wild Desolation era, I suppose. It’s just that after the Era of Emperors, they also gradually declined. I wonder how much courage they still have left," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
...…
Day Lane, this place is probably the most intact ancient building in the entire Mixed Yuan Ancient City.
The great terror of that year nearly destroyed the whole Mixed Yuan Ancient City, and amidst this shattered and broken city, Day Lane was fortunately preserved.
Even when people later rebuilt the ancient city, they did not touch a brick or tile here.
The bottomless alley was shrouded in peace and quiet, in contrast to the bustling ancient city streets. It seemed to exist in a separate space.
A world where space and time were segmented.
Xu Zimei slowly closed his eyes, standing at the entrance of Day Lane, a tranquil breeze greeting him.
Before, the Chaos Pearl had taken him into the River of Time, where he witnessed all the significant events that had happened since the beginning of this epoch.
Including the great battle at Mixed Yuan Ancient City.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, feeling the building that has a history of millions of years, he felt almost out of breath under the weight of memories that seemed to come from ancient times.
Xu Zimei felt as if he were back in the midst of that astonishing battle.
He led Xiao Guizi slowly into the alley.
As they entered the alley, Xiao Guizi produced a folding fan from seemingly nowhere.
Dressed in a purple robe and holding the fan adorned with blue floral patterns, with his long hair flowing behind and his hair bound atop his head, anyone who saw him would sincerely admire and think, what a graceful young man.
The two walked about five hundred meters into the alley, when a tavern appeared beside them.
The words "Wild Desolation Tavern" came into view.
The tavern’s door was made of dragon saliva wood, a material that could only be found in areas where the Dragon Clan resided.
Since the Era of Emperors, the Heavenly Curtain War God alone had slaughtered the entire Dragon Clan at Secluded Dragon Gorge, and this wood had since vanished.
The ancient signboard appeared to have withstood countless years of decay, its rotting wood engraved with several large characters.
Xu Zimei and his companion entered the tavern, which was decorated with an ancient flair.
The tavern wasn’t too spacious, hosting only six tables, and an old man sat at the front desk, soundly asleep on the tabletop.
Inside, it was exceptionally tranquil, and the air carried a faint fragrance of alcohol.
"Brother Xu, after our parting that day, I never imagined we would meet again in this ancient city," Xiao Guizi said to Xu Zimei with a smile.
"Brother Zhang is too kind," Xu Zimei shook his head and replied, "That day in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I was impressed by Brother Zhang’s elegance."
"Brother Xu, don’t be modest. Today, let’s find a quiet tavern and not return until we’re drunk," Xiao Guizi laughed heartily.
Then, Xiao Guizi approached the front desk and knocked forcefully on the counter.
The old man sleeping on top of the desk slowly lifted his head. His murky gaze fell on Xiao Guizi for a moment before he continued resting his head to sleep.
"Hey, there are customers in the shop. Don’t you know you should greet them?" Xiao Guizi asked with a frown.
The old man lifted his head, and in that moment, his gaze seemed to pierce through the Endless Void and land on Xiao Guizi.
Xiao Guizi instantly felt an immense pressure as if he were being targeted by some terrifying entity.
"The wine is on the cabinet to the side. Take whatever you want to drink, and don’t disturb this old man’s sleep," the old man said indifferently.
Xiao Guizi turned his head and saw a pitch-black wooden cabinet against the wall of the tavern.
The cabinet was crowded with jars of wine, each marked with a red sticker detailing the origin and name of the wine.
Xiao Guizi walked up to the wine cabinet, looking at it with interest.
"Millennium Shaohong Wine, brewed with water from the Spring of Life and concocted using an Emperor Pulse Realm Netherworld Ancient Serpent.
The wine has a slightly bitter taste but can have unimaginable effects on healing human injuries. As long as there is a breath left, it can bring back the dead and mend bones.
Price: One young cub of an Ancient Monster Beast.
Source Spring Wine, selected from the essence of ten-thousand-year-old Snow Lotus roots on Heavenly Mountain, further fermented with seven of the most precious Mysterious Medicines.
It has a sweet taste that rejuvenates and calms the spirit. It plays a huge role in breaking through to the sixth Vein Gate of the Emperor Pulse Realm.
Price: One Cosmos Tier Spiritual Medicine."
...…
As Xiao Guizi read the descriptions of the fine wines in the cabinet, he was so astounded that his eyes stood wide open. Any of these wine jars, if placed outside, would cause an immense sensation.
Yet here, such world-shaking wines were blatantly displayed in the cabinet.
He steadied himself, cleared his throat, and said indifferently, "Shopkeeper, I don’t think much of the wines in this cabinet.
They are either sweet or bitter. Don’t you have anything spicier?
Bring out the best wine in your shop."
Hearing Xiao Guizi’s request, the old man lifted his head, his eyelids drooping, and said indifferently, "I’m afraid you can’t afford the most expensive wine."
