Chapter 92: Exploring Pure Yang City, The City Lord’s Son

The three of them arrived on the main street. Qin Xiao was just about to let loose when he suddenly calmed down again.

“Sect Leader is right, this place isn’t like our own territory; we need to keep a low profile.”

Qin Xiao slowed down and began looking for food. He had lost all his supplies last time and gone through two months of seclusion without a meal. Before, when he could not cultivate, the sect had at least sent him grain. That had stopped after he took disciples, leaving him without ingredients even to cook for himself. Spirit Liquid could sustain him, but he still craved food.

Previously when gathering information, Qin Xiao didn’t dare to go personally. He still had Yun Man and Lin Shimeng make a trip to the Immortal Dao Merchant Association. Those two actually forgot to buy food.

“Master, forget ordinary food. Let’s find some Spirit Food.”

Qin Xiao had spoiled Yun Man too. She now enjoyed eating, though she only ate Spirit Food.

“You’re right. We’re rich now. We should eat something better. Why am I still thinking about ordinary food? Come on, let’s find a restaurant.”

Qin Xiao agreed. Otherwise, he would be the only one eating, as usual. With Spirit Food, his disciples could eat too.

Subsequently, the three of them asked people for directions, wanting to know where the largest restaurant in Pure Yang City was.

Fortunately, being close to the City Lord Manor, this was the most prosperous area. The largest restaurant, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, wasn’t far away.

Soon the three of them arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. This Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a full five stories tall, much more luxurious than the restaurants near the Heavenly Clothes Pavilion.

“Three esteemed guests, please come inside.”

The attendant at the entrance noticed them stop and hurried forward to welcome them. He knew how to spot potential customers.

“Do you serve Spirit Food here?”

Qin Xiao asked.

“Of course. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion caters to cultivators. How could we not serve Spirit Food?”

Seeing that Qin Xiao and his group were relatively young and unfamiliar faces, the attendant knew they were from outside and quickly explained.

“Good. Find us a private room on an upper floor. I like a view.”

Seeing they had Spirit Food, Qin Xiao didn’t waste words and directly walked inside.

“Three guests! They’d like an upstairs private room.”

The attendant was clever, quickly running to the counter to arrange things for Qin Xiao.

“We have four classes of private room. The first floor is the main dining hall, with no minimum spend. The second floor has Yellow Class rooms, with a minimum of five hundred spirit stones. The third has Profound Class rooms, with a minimum of a thousand. Earth Class rooms on the fourth floor have a three-thousand minimum, and Heaven Class rooms on the fifth have a five-thousand minimum. Choose whichever suits you.”

The shopkeeper was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He could not discern the three guests’ cultivation levels, but he still needed to explain the charges to avoid trouble later.

“Fifth floor, it must be the fifth floor. The higher the better. If only your place had a sixth floor, I’d even want to go to the sixth floor. Standing higher lets you see farther.” This chapter is updated first at novelping . com.

Qin Xiao did not care about the minimum spend. He had money.

“Heaven No. 1 Room has just become available. You can go straight up.”

The shopkeeper directed a female server at the Qi Condensation stage to lead them up.

“Esteemed guests, this way please.”

The server could tell they were wealthy customers and hurried to lead them up respectfully.

The room on the fifth floor was huge. It could hold twenty or thirty people with space to spare. Qin Xiao did not mind the size. He was here for the Spirit Food.

“Here’s the menu. Tell me what you’d like, and I’ll put the order in. I can recommend something if you’re not sure.”

The server brought the menu and started taking Qin Xiao’s order.

“The usual: start with the whole menu. If it’s good, we’ll order more.”

Qin Xiao directly handed the menu back to the server, ordering the entire menu.

“Esteemed guest, did I hear correctly? Are you sure you want to order the whole menu?”

The server was stunned. She had never had anyone order like that before. There were over two hundred dishes on the menu.

“Yes. Go ahead. The sooner, the better.”

Qin Xiao couldn’t be bothered to explain, just telling her to quickly place the order. He was already hungry.

Still confused, the server looked at Yun Man and Lin Shimeng to see if he was serious.

“Go place the order. My Master already said, order the whole menu. What? Worried we don’t have money?”

Yun Man urged her on when she continued to stand there in a daze.

“I’ll go right away, right away.”

The server understood at last. The man leading them was either a young master from a powerful force or planning to eat without paying. Either way, she had to tell the shopkeeper. She could not decide this herself.

Sure enough, after a while, the shopkeeper came to Heaven No. 1 Room.

“I hear you want the entire menu. There are two hundred and eight dishes. The most expensive cost over ten thousand spirit stones each, and the whole menu costs at least a hundred thousand. I’m not worried you can’t pay, but there’s so much food. Wouldn’t it be a waste if you couldn’t finish it?”

The shopkeeper was clever. He listed the number of dishes, then the price. Instead of questioning whether the guests could pay, he voiced concern about wasting food.

“I know. Order the whole menu. Understand now?”

Qin Xiao knew the man wanted confirmation, so he did not make trouble. He confirmed the entire menu again.

“Understood. Please wait a moment. I’ll have the food prepared.”

Having received confirmation, the shopkeeper turned to arrange the food. This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.

“Shopkeeper Liu, I always use Heaven No. 1 Room. Why is someone else in it today?”

Shopkeeper Liu had just stepped out when he encountered a group of people, and they looked very displeased.

“Young City Lord, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming today. We can’t keep the room empty all the time; we have to seat other guests. Earth Class Room One is free. Would you and your guests take it? I’ll give you twenty percent off today as an apology.”

Shopkeeper Liu was at a loss. Why had the Young City Lord chosen today to come, with guests in tow? He had already seated other customers in the room and could not take it back. This was the best he could offer.

“You’re putting me in a difficult position, Shopkeeper Liu. These six are my honored guests. How can I take them to an Earth Class room? My father owns twenty percent of this place. And after all the money I’ve spent here over the years, you still expect me to settle for an Earth Class room?”

Yu Shaoqing was very displeased. The six people behind him were honored guests he had invited to dine, and the shopkeeper wanted to put them in an Earth Class room? Others had yet to arrive, and he had told them to meet in Heaven No. 1 Room. If he moved to an Earth Class room, how could he face them?

Moreover, he didn’t believe anyone in Pure Yang City could surpass his influence. His father was the City Lord, and he was the Young City Lord.

“Then let me ask the guests in the other Heaven Class rooms if they’ll give one up. I really can’t ask the people in Room One to move.”

Shopkeeper Liu could only try asking the guests in other Heaven Class rooms. He could hardly ask Qin Xiao to move after he had ordered the whole menu. What sort of way would that be to run a business?

“That won’t do. I only want Heaven No. 1 Room. You make him give up the private room. Whatever dishes he ordered, I’ll pay.”

Yu Shaoqing cared about his standing. No other Heaven Class room would do, not even Heaven No. 2.

Although there were only four Heaven Class private rooms, he only wanted Room One.

“Young City Lord, are you sure? Don’t you want to ask first how much he ordered?”

Shopkeeper Liu said somewhat hesitantly.

“How much can it be? The minimum for a Heaven Class room is five thousand. Add another three thousand. Eight thousand should cover it, right?”

As the City Lord’s son, Yu Shaoqing had no shortage of spirit stones. Eight thousand, even ten thousand, was little to him. His dignity was worth more than that.

“Young City Lord, the order in Room One comes to one hundred and eighteen thousand, eight hundred spirit stones.”

Seeing Yu Shaoqing still wanted to insist, Shopkeeper Liu could only state the price.

“What? One hundred eighteen thousand? What did he order? Could it be he ordered the whole menu? How is it this much?”

The price startled Yu Shaoqing. He had that much money, but who spent so many spirit stones on a meal?

Shopkeeper Liu had been just as shocked when he first heard the order for the entire menu. Since the Young City Lord had offered to pay, he could only tell him the truth.

“Young City Lord, he really did order the whole menu.”
