The Delight Tavern

"The sect has many facilities, some are destined for training and others are for entertainment. We will speak about the training facilities later, now we are going to the Delight Tavern. Which is the biggest entertainment facility owned by the sect.

It is a popular spot for sect members to unwind and socialize with one another. The tavern is well-known for its delicious food and drinks, as well as its lively atmosphere. Look, it's that purple building ."

Looking at the tavern, Wang Yu remembered that he had passed by it before but it was silent, unlike now where he could hear the calming music from far.

Surprised he asked "Lui Fu, I clearly passed by it yesterday morning and it wasn't like this. Could it be that they don't serve newbies? Or that its manager has left with you?"

"No, it's neither one of those, but the fee for entering is high. It's 20 spirit stones just for entry per person, this without mentioning the drinks and food that you buy inside. And most of the new disciples have a very small income."

"I understand," Wang Yu then patted Lui Fu's shoulder and jokingly said, "This poor junior will gladly accept your treat, my rich brother." Joked Wang Yu.

"Hhhh, no problem, just don't choose something expensive."

Upon entering the tavern, Wang Yu was greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance. The walls are adorned with tapestries and artwork depicting scenes from the sect's history and culture. The lighting was soft and dim, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere.

The spirit Qi was very dense compared to the outside, making one feel more comfortable and relaxed.

"The pagoda has three floors, with the first floor being the one that normal cultivators use. As for the second floor, it's for those who wish for more entertainment, especially those who are richer such as deacons and some inner sect disciples,

But the third floor is different, even if you have money you won't be able to enter unless you are or do follow a Vice Elder and above."

While walking toward a table, Wang Yu and Lui Fu heard someone shouting "Brother Lu, come here." One of two men who were sitting in a room inside the tavern stood greeting Lu Fu right after entering the Delight Tavern. He wore the sect's clothes and had the badge of the Hunting Department, his hands were holding a cup of wine.

By his side was another man who was in his early twenties and wore a golden robe like a king in the mortal world, he was grabbing two beautiful women by the waist, one was young and wore a blue dress that didn't cover her whole body, especially her slim waist, the other was more mature and graceful.

Wang Yu followed Lui Fu to the room "It's good, you have returned to normal" said the young who was shouting at Lui Fu.

Meanwhile, Wang Yu was looking at the people, evaluating their strengths. He could see that the man in the golden robe was slightly weaker than a normal deacon, which means that he was probably at the fourth level. The other male should be slightly stronger than Lu Fu, the same for the young girl, as for the mature one she was at the same level as the man in the golden robe.

"Sigh, I decided to forget. Regretting won't change anything, By the way, this is my brother Wang Yu, he was a hunter inside the Servent District and accumulated enough merits to enter the outer sect in less than two years." Lui Fu's tone become prideful when he was talking about Wang Yu.

Looking at Wang Yu and seizing him down, the group could feel that he was not simple, especially his cold gaze that didn't waver despite being gazed at by the golden robbed man.

"It's nice to meet you." Said Wang Yu in greeting.

"Nice to meet you too, it's good to see someone from the same department. I'm Zu Zang, this is senior brother Zu Guji, and the ladies are Fairy Shu Li and Wen Liu." The younger man introduced himself, his cousin, and the two ladies, Shu Li the graceful and mature woman, and Wen Liu the younger one.

The others nodded their heads in greeting. After that, Wang Yu and Lui Fu sat beside the group and started chatting. The chat was animated by Zu Zang who was very social and easygoing, as for his cousin he didn't speak much and was mostly playing with the girls, especially Wen Liu who would giggle while whispering some words to him.

Wang Yu took the menu which contained many special dishes and drinks. Looking at the prices Wang Yu finally understood how poor he was, everything on the menu was expensive.

After some consideration, he chose a roasted Pankin Cock, which is a demonic beast raised at one of the Sect's spirit farms. He also chose the Ice Mongo spirit juice. The total of his command alone was 60 spirit stones, as for Lui Fu he chose the same as Wang Yu.

"Entering the Delight Tavern, always make me feel poor, fortunately, I sold a bunch of spirit herbs to the sect and got some money." Said Lui Fu, jokingly.

"Hahaha, that's for sure. Some people made a fortune this time, by the way, have you heard that Tang Yu has become a disciple of the Grand Elder Mystic Owl? Yesterday, right after our return he was sent to the Darkness City where the Senior Mystic Owl stays."

Hearing The mention of Grand Elder Mystic Owl choosing a disciple, Lui Fu was shocked, knowing how big the situation is. "For Tang Yu, an outer sect disciple to take first place in the tournament against all those inner sect disciples, he is really exceptional, but becoming the fourth disciple for the Grand Elder Mystic Owl should not be because of him winning the tournament."

"Yes that's true, I heard that Senior Mystic is four hundred old and he had only taken three disciples during all this period, he not only look at the talent but also the temperament before choosing a disciple.

He's also hard on his disciples, he will send them to various dangerous missions, and this is why his second disciples died. As for his first disciple, I heard that he failed to advance to the Tenth level of Qi Condensation, and died of old age.

Currently, only his third disciple's alive, and is the Lord of Darkness City since grand elders don't like political stuff."

Said Zu Guji who has been quiet all this time, looking at his clothing Wang Yu deduced that he was the type who prefers being in the limelight and felt himself above the others.

"He's really lucky, the city lord celebrated his 130th birthday eight years ago. So if he can survive, he will have a high chance to succeed in the position, either when the city lord advances and reaches the Violet Core realm or when he dies." Said Shu Li, the mature lady.

The others nodded in approvement, this was a great chance. They felt jealous but what could they do?

After That, the group continued chatting. Soon Wang Yu and Lui Fu's food was delivered, and the aroma of the roasted cock filled the air, making Wang Yu feel his mouth salivating. Wang Yu looked at the golden color of the meat in surprise. As Wang Yu took his first bite, he felt a surge of mild Spirit Qi and vitality enter his body. He savored the taste and texture, feeling the nourishment it provided. He couldn't help but think that if he could eat this every day, he would be able to open his meridian and advance to the second level of Qi Condensation within a month.

As for his bottleneck at the Everlasting Technique, he felt he have a high chance of entering the viscera stage of Human Tempering tonight, he had hunted a lot of beasts inside the Darkness's periphery, but in terms of quality, they were lower than the Pankin Cock which was a demonic beast.

In addition to the delicious food, the Ice Mongo spirit juice was also a delicacy. Its sweetness and high Spirit Qi content made it the perfect complement to the roasted cock. The gentle background music added to the relaxing atmosphere, making Wang Yu feel at ease. As he savored the meal and the company of his friend, he couldn't help but feel content. This is what the life of a cultivator should be like, he thought to himself.

During this time Wang Yu saw many disciples entering the tavern, mostly the senior disciple, he even saw a deacon and some rich disciples climbing the stairs, going to the second floor.

Unfortunately, everything ends eventually, and soon the group left the Delight Tavern. They then parted ways, with Wang Yu and Lui Fu heading toward the training halls. Lui Fu was going to introduce them to Wang Yu, who had never come here before.
