Chapter 3599: Tassel Restaurant
“Destroy the Duan Clan Village?” Tie Heng stiffened upon hearing Qian Fei’s words. He did not expect this.
As soon as Tie Heng looked at the old man standing behind Qian Fei, the old man opened his eyes. He looked at Qian Fei affectionately as he said, “Second Young Master, it’s enough to destroy the southern village of the Duan Clan Village. After all, there’s a rumor that the head of the eastern village has become a god. Destroying the entire Duan Clan Village will definitely anger that god. Although the Qian family isn’t afraid of the Duan Clan Village, it’d be troublesome if he causes trouble. However, if you only destroy the southern village, it’s likely the village head of the eastern village will let the matter go even if he’s angry. Destroying the entire Duan Clan Village will only drive him to desperate actions. Hence, we should leave the remaining three villages alone.
Qian Fei knew the old man was right. He frowned slightly. When his expression eased, he said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Grandpa Qiu.”
Grandpa Qiu’s name was Qian Qiu. He was a rudimentary god. Qian Fei’s status was not high enough so most of the gods in the Qian family naturally did not bother to intervene in his matters. However, Qian Qiu had a close relationship with Qian Fei since Qian Fei was a child so he usually followed Qian Fei out to protect Qian Fei. Even Qian Fei’s brother, the Young Master of the Qian family, did not have this privilege; Qian Fei’s brother only had an imminent god protecting him.
For this reason, Qian Fei did not dare to go against Qian Qiu’s words. Hence, upon hearing Qian Qiu’s words, he nodded and said, “Elder Qiu is right.”
Tie Heng sighed in relief inwardly upon hearing Qian Qiu’s words. He was really worried about having to attack the Duan Clan Village. Although he knew the Qian family was stronger than the Duan Clan Village, there was no telling what the Duan Clan Village would do when driven into a corner. If the rumor were true that the Duan Clan Village had a god, he or she would definitely seek revenge from the Qian clan. With all these, the fourth branch of the Tie Clan in the Tie Clan Village would definitely be dragged into the matter. The Qian family would definitely be too busy taking care of itself at that time that they would not have time to help the Tie Clan Village out if the village was in danger.
…
Descent Mountain City was the first city Duan Ling Tian had been to since he came to the Profound Energy Land, a Realm of Gods. In his eyes, Descent Mountain City was neither too big nor too small. When he was in the Devata Realm, he had seen cities that were ten times bigger than Descent Mountain Land. Naturally, the big cities he had seen in the Devata Realms could not compare to the big cities in the Realm of Gods.
“Descent Mountain City….” Duan Ling Tian hovered in the sky outside of Descent Mountain City, looking at the city from a distance. There were a total of eight entrances in the four directions; each of the four directions had two entrances.
Bricks and stones were used to build the city walls, and there were visible marks on them. Sword marks, knife marks, palm prints, and even fist marks could be seen on the wall. There were both deep and shallow marks. The marks made the walls look as though they had been erected a long time ago and had witnessed the passing of time.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian moved at lightning speed as he flew into Descent Mountain City. He saw many people milling around the buildings, and he also noticed there was a small number of people who seemed to be deliberately avoiding the buildings. Upon seeing this, he was certain those buildings belonged to the powerful families in Descent Mountain City. After all, only powerful families were capable of stopping people from entering their establishments.
After passing through the entrance, Duan Ling Tian also noticed there were red flags hanging at the side of buildings with the names of inns and restaurants on them. These flags were like a guide to him. He naturally knew the inns and restaurants also belonged to the powerful families in Descent Mountain City.
“Tassel Restaurant…” Duan Ling Tian found out that the Tassel Sky Restaurant was the largest and busiest restaurant in Descent Mountain City. The building had three stories and occupied a vast land. The second biggest restaurant in the city had three stories as well, but the land they occupied was only half of the land Tassel Restaurant occupied. Most importantly, the Tassel Restaurant was located in the heart of the city.
During Duan Ling Tian’s time in the mundane realms and the Devata Realms, he had a habit of familiarizing himself with a place by hanging out at a restaurant. After all, all sorts of people were gathered in the restaurant to exchange information. He could learn a lot from these people.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the entrance of the Tassel Restaurant, he saw a few servers standing at the entrance. One of them stepped forward and greeted him warmly, “Sir, are you here alone? Do you want to eat in one of the private rooms or in the hall?”
The server did not directly lead Duan Ling Tian to the hall even if Duan Ling Tian was alone. After all, he knew there were some customers who enjoyed peace and quiet. Moreover, customers had to spend a minimum amount to eat in a private room. With that, the server would receive a commission accordingly.
“The hall… I’d like a table in the center of the hall,” Duan Ling Tian said. With his superior hearing, he knew he would be able to hear all the conversations in his surroundings.
Although the server was disappointed by Duan Ling Tian’s reply, the smile on his face did not falter. He led Duan Ling Tian to a small table in the center of the hall before he brought a menu out from a Spatial Ring and handed it to Duan Ling Tian. Then, he said, “Sir, this is our restaurant’s menu. In our restaurant, you’re required to spend at least one prominent Celestial Crystal if you want to dine in the hall…”
The lowest grade and most common crystals in the Realms of Gods were celestial crystals. Since they were common, they became the mainstream currency for those in the lower class. On the other hand, divine rocks were considered high-level currency in the surrounding areas.
Duan Ling Tian did not object and walked to his table.
After some time passed, Duan Ling Tian had learned about many things. Alas, they were of no interest to him. He did not hear anything that might be useful to him.
“I’ll come again tomorrow…”
…
A few days later.
After finding an inn to stay in, Duan Ling Tian would go to Tassel Restaurant and sit in the center of the hall.
“I’ll go to the restaurant for another two more days. After that, I should look for a way to get some divine rocks…”
Divine rocks were able to increase the speed of cultivation. For someone like Duan Ling Tian who was rushing to attain godhood, he naturally could not wait to obtain divine rocks.
Over the past few days, he had been thinking of ways to obtain divine rocks. The easiest and most direct way was to sell some of the items he had in his possession. Naturally, he would not sell the things that would bring him trouble. Otherwise, he might be murdered for his possessions before he could even obtain the divine rocks.
Today, Duan Ling Tian came to the Tassel Restaurant as usual.
“Sir, what would you like to eat today?”
It was the same server again. When he saw Duan Ling Tian again, the smile on his face became even brighter because Duan Ling Tian had been dining at the Tassel Restaurant for many days in a row, and each time he had served Duan Ling Tian. With this, he would be paid each time Duan Ling Tian spent at the restaurant. Most importantly, every time Duan Ling Tian came, Duan Ling Tian would order the most famous and expensive dishes in the restaurant that was beneficial to his cultivation. Unfortunately, these dishes would slowly lose their efficacy after eating them a few times.
Duan Ling Tian nodded at the server and said, “Are there any signature dishes I’ve yet to try? Please order them for me.”
Following that, he brought out a prominent Celestial Crystal and handed it to the server. Since the server had been very cooperative during his visits, he would ‘tip’ the server whenever he came.
This was also one of the reasons the server was enthusiastic about serving him. To the server, Duan Ling Tian was a wealthy customer that he would only meet once in a lifetime.
“Thank you, sir.” After accepting the tip, the server went to work immediately.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian listened to the conversations around him carefully.
“Did you hear? The concubine of the Second Young Master of the Qian family found himself a beautiful concubine in the Endless Mountains two days ago. Moreover, he destroyed the southern village of the Duan Clan Village for her!”
“Yes! I heard no one from the southern village of the Duan Clan Village survived!”
“I heard the concubine is the daughter of the second Leader of the Tie Clan Village and the head of the Tie Clan’s second branch.”
“That’s right. I heard when Second Young Master Qian went to destroy the Duan Clan Village’s southern village, there were men from the second branch and the fourth branch of the Tie Clan who followed him there.”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian was shocked. When he regained his senses, he found he had broken the teacup in his hand. The hair tie that held his hair broke, and his hair fluttered in the air even though there was no wind in the restaurant.
Bang!
Duan Ling Tian tossed two Celestial Crystals on the table before he rose to his feet and vanished into thin air.
Those who saw this were stunned.
“It’s the Teleportation Profundity!”
Although most of the customers were not gods, it was not difficult for them to see that Duan Ling Tian had cast the Teleportation Profundity from the law of space.
Meanwhile, when the server returned to Duan Ling Tian’s table, he discovered Duan Ling Tian was no longer around. He sighed in relief when he saw the two Celestial Crystals lying quietly on the table. If Duan Ling Tian did not pay for the meal, he would have to pay for it out of his own pocket, after all.
“Well, he must have something urgent to attend to…” the server muttered to himself.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the Endless Mountain after he left the Tassel Restaurant and Descent Mountain City. He wanted to verify the conversation he had just heard..
