Posing As a Foundation Building Expert

Aksai noticed a few Spirit cultivators occupying tables in the private lounge of Blue Sky Haven, located on the restaurant's third floor, hidden from mortal sight.

From this vantage point, they could observe the bustling activity of the Purple River Gate while enjoying their meals in the company of fellow Spirit practitioners.

He selected an unoccupied table by the large window and seated himself.

Almost instantly, a simple Array Formation materialized above his table, projecting a spectral menu and prompting him to place his order. Aksai made his selections and waited quietly for his food to arrive.

As he waited, a man of average height and appearance approached him with a friendly smile.

Despite appearing to be in his mid-50s by mortal standards, the man possessed a late-stage Spirit Refining cultivation base, suggesting that his actual age might be much older, possibly in his late 70s or early 80s.
