Chapter 1887: Chapter 1379: The Seven Factions Arrive Together
Central State, Taitian City.
Due to the presence of three super forces, the independent Emperor-level individuals outside of these three are few and far between in Central State.
And the Taitian City Lord, Shangguan Hao, is one such rare independent Emperor-level individual outside the three super forces!
Taitian City is enormously vast, wealthy, and prosperous, with various massive buildings, pavilions, and towers lined up in splendid array everywhere you look.
Besides the largest force, the City Lord Mansion, there are multiple King-level forces, King-level families, a thriving commerce, and numerous extraordinary people, making it one of the most famous cities in Central State.
Additionally, the city is famous for being the starting place of the King competition!
As the King competition approaches, Taitian City is bustling with people, lively and full of activity, gathering countless cultivators from all directions.
For cultivators below the King level, only in this city can they observe the circumstances of the King competition more clearly.
At the largest tavern in the east of Taitian City, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, resplendent and like a celestial palace, the four layers of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow were almost all filled.
Numerous cultivators gathered from various places were waiting for the King competition to begin, chatting about various topics and making friends.
"Old Xu, the King competition should be happening within these few days, right?"
"Almost, reportedly, Lin Xian Pavilion has already provided accurate information, it’s starting today!"
"Excellent! This grand event that happens every five hundred years isn’t something everyone gets to witness!"
"..."
Amidst the discussions, a man and a woman ascended the Purple Cloud Ladder to the Xuan Character Building.
The man had silver hair and silver eyes, looked quite young, with a faint brilliance flashing in his eyes, his demeanor seemed extraordinary.
The woman, also with white hair, wore a purple cloud brocade lotus long dress, with an antique bun hairstyle, followed closely behind the man.
These two were naturally the last to arrive in Central State, Su Yuan and Ashley.
The two of them walked to the central highest area of the Xuan Character Building, presented their tokens, and casually took a seat at an empty table.
"Look at those two, so young yet with such an extraordinary demeanor, I wonder which family’s geniuses from which state they are from!"
"Not necessarily, they might also be secret disciples of a Hidden Sect... oh? Directly went to the honors seats? Indeed extraordinary identities."
"With the King competition imminent, being able to book an honors seat at this time either means they are well-known prodigies within the Seven States or they have significant background!"
As soon as the two appeared and took their seats, they immediately attracted the attention of many in the Xuan Character Building.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion has four layers: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.
The ground level, Yellow Building, is usually where cultivators of the lower three levels gather;
The Xuan Building is commonly inhabited by Second Stage cultivators of Shining Star and Radiant Moon levels.
The Earth Building, almost entirely Burning Sun-level powerhouses.
The Heavenly Tower, only receives King-level powerhouses!
The "honors seats" within this Xuan Building were precisely the VIP spots reserved by Yue Fanhai.
With Yue Fanhai’s Emperor-level status, booking a spot in the Heavenly Tower for subordinates is an easy task.
However, the people in the Heaven and Earth floors are too few, while the Yellow floor is too crowded. For Su Yuan and Ashley, who had just arrived in Central State and wanted to gather some insights, the Xuan Building was just right.
This honors seat area evidently had higher standards; most sitting here were famous talents and heroes, noble families from each state, and so on...
"Waiter, bring four flasks of Drunken Immortal Brew!" Su Yuan said, looking at the menu written on the golden jade plaque in the hall, "With five pounds of Beimang Mountain’s green beef and two pounds of South Sea prawns."
This Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s specialty—Drunken Immortal Brew, was specifically mentioned by Yang Yifeng and Antonios in the past, telling Su Yuan to try it if he had the chance.
Even Yang Yifeng, an old drunkard, and the quality-chasing Antonios highly praised it, which speaks for itself. Naturally, Su Yuan intended to enjoy it today~
The nearby waiter heard this, his expression changed slightly, immediately offering a kind reminder: "Guest, even for Full Moon Masters, downing four flasks of our Drunken Immortal Brew might be a bit much, perhaps you should reconsider..."
Su Yuan flipped his hand, letting many Star Stones fall on the table, and laughed: "No worries, I have a unique constitution, the money is good, just bring the wine!"
"Well... all right then!"
The waiter, seeing Su Yuan like this, could only accept, shaking his head silently, thinking to himself another non-believer~
Over the past two months, guests from many states have arrived, and many were unaware of the potency of Drunken Immortal Brew.
The boss even specifically placed a sign at the entrance saying, "One flask refreshes the spirit, two flasks embolden you. Three flasks confuse day and night, four flasks make one a babbling immortal."
The result was it didn’t deter anyone; instead, it encouraged talents and heroes to try it. Those who got drunk and couldn’t get up were one thing, but those who got drunk and spoke nonsense, danced with blades, caused such ridiculous scenes were not few!
It wasn’t long before the waiter returned with four exquisite wine flasks and appetizers.
Su Yuan took a flask and drank heartily, after a few swishes, his eyes lit up: "Truly good wine!"
As the wine entered the throat, it felt like clouds and mist flowing, silky and thread-like, seemingly fierce yet refreshing, leaving an endless aftertaste~
Su Yuan continued to drink and eat meat; next to him, Ashley was drinking tea and eating fish, continually peeling prawns to feed to Su Yuan one by one.
"Damn, I’m so envious of this person!"
The male cultivators, whether in the honors area or below, were filled with envy.
To have such an extraordinary woman serve so considerately made everyone grit their teeth with envy.
But it wasn’t long before everyone noticed something remarkable about Su Yuan.
Because despite claiming "Four flasks make one a babbling immortal," after Su Yuan drank all of it, he only seemed slightly flushed.
