Zhexianlou
At the same time, various forces arrived from all directions, some riding flying Yao Beasts and others on flying Immortal Artifacts.
The surrounding Cultivators looked toward Qin Yi and his group, their eyes flashing with astonishment; the ten Void Divine Dragons were simply too dazzling.
They couldn't help but wonder which major force Qin Yi and the others belonged to.
To use ten Immortal King Realm dragons to pull a carriage was simply too extravagant.
Although they were curious about Qin Yi's identity, no one stepped forward to ask at the moment, instead silently memorizing Qin Yi's appearance.
Then, with a thought, they directed their flying Immortal Artifacts or flying Yao Beasts toward the ground, as flying was prohibited within Beiming City.
This was a regulation of the Beiming Immortal Kingdom, and all forces had to obey it obediently.
The Water Dragon Turtle on Qin Yi's shoulder had eyes sparkling with excitement as it spoke:
“Qin Yi, this Beiming City is indeed lively. Various forces are arriving here one after another.”
Qin Yi nodded, looking ahead as he spoke: “The Beiming Immortal Gathering is the largest grand event in the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.”
“It is the perfect time for various experts to make a name for themselves, so Cultivators from every force naturally won't miss it.”
At that moment, the ten Void Divine Dragons' bodies gradually shrank, eventually becoming the size of a palm.
With a thought, Qin Yi put them into the System space, and the star palace vanished along with them.
“Let's go. We'll head down as well and prepare to enter the city.”
Saying this, Qin Yi turned into a streak of light and flew toward the ground.
Immediately after, Hei Nantian moved and followed behind Qin Yi, flying down to the ground.
Soon after landing, Qin Yi began walking toward the city.
Cultivators entering Beiming City did not need to pay any fees.
Upon entering the city, Qin Yi felt a dense wave of Spiritual Qi wash over him. Various shops lined both sides of the streets, and the shouts of vendors could be heard continuously.
“Come and take a look! Immortal King Level Vermillion Fruit just obtained from the Manghuang Mountain Range, yours for only eight million Immortal Stones.”
“Freshly forged Immortal Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts of all kinds! Everyone, come and see!”
“A cub of the Immortal King Level Bloodline Great-Toothed Rhino. Buy it, and you'll have an Immortal King Realm Yao Beast bodyguard in the future.”
The Water Dragon Turtle looked around, its eyes shimmering with excitement as it marveled, “It really is lively inside this city.”
Qin Yi silently observed his surroundings and said, “Indeed, it lives up to the name of Beiming City.”
“Let's go. We'll find an inn to stay in first, scout out the registration location for the Tiger Ranking Competition, and then go register tomorrow.”
“Alright,” Hei Nantian and the Water Dragon Turtle said in unison.
Qin Yi continued walking forward, with Hei Nantian following closely behind.
Because the Beiming Immortal Gathering was about to be held, many temporary inns had been added in the city to provide enough accommodation for the participating Cultivators.
A short while later, Qin Yi stopped in front of an incredibly tall restaurant. Looking at the plaque above, he muttered to himself:
“Zhexian Tower.”
An attendant standing outside to welcome guests saw Qin Yi and jogged over with a warm smile on his face.
“Two honored guests, our Zhexian Tower is the best restaurant in Beiming City. Whether you wish to stay the night or have a meal, our Zhexian Tower can provide it.”
“Furthermore, our Zhexian Tower is most famous for its Immortal Peach Blossom Brew. Would you like to come in and try some, honored guests?”
Qin Yi nodded and stepped forward, saying, “Hei Nantian, let's go in.”
As soon as they entered the restaurant, a fresh scent of peach blossoms greeted them, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of peach blossom wine.
The restaurant was bustling with noise and activity, with every table filled with Cultivators.
They raised their wine cups, smiles on their faces, as they chatted happily.
Seeing Qin Yi and his companion enter, a Gray-Clothed Attendant immediately came forward and said with a smile:
“Two honored guests, are you here for a meal or for accommodation?”
Qin Yi looked around and said, “We want both food and lodging.”
“Bring out all your signature dishes and prepare two of your best rooms for us.”
The Gray-Clothed Attendant's smile brightened as he said, “Understood! Honored guests, please follow me to the seventh floor.”
Zhexian Tower had a total of twenty-one floors. Dining and lodging were each allocated nine floors, while the top three floors were restricted to the high-level members of Zhexian Tower.
It was said that the identity of the owner behind Zhexian Tower was extremely mysterious. Once, a First Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert caused trouble here and was directly suppressed by the experts of Zhexian Tower.
The force behind that Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Sword Palace, refused to accept this and threatened to bring trouble to Zhexian Tower.
However, in a single night, the Immortal Sword Palace vanished. One must know that the Immortal Sword Palace was overseen by a Fourth Level Immortal Venerable Realm expert.
From then on, no Cultivator dared to cause trouble in Zhexian Tower again.
Soon, Qin Yi reached the seventh floor. The layout here was very similar to the first floor, but there weren't many Cultivators, and the tables weren't full.
The Gray-Clothed Attendant said with a smile, “Honored guests, please sit wherever you like. Your food and wine will be served shortly.”
Qin Yi led Hei Nantian to a table against the wall and sat down.
The Water Dragon Turtle moved and hopped onto a nearby stool, its eyes flashing with excitement as it spoke:
“Zhexian Tower truly deserves its reputation as the best restaurant in Beiming City. Even Immortal Venerable Realm experts come here to eat.”
“And they look so cautious, as if they were just ordinary guests. If not for their powerful auras, you wouldn't be able to tell they were Immortal Venerable Experts at all.”
“It seems the background of this Zhexian Tower is extraordinary.”
Qin Yi nodded and said, “To be able to become the best restaurant in Beiming City, this Zhexian Tower must certainly have some strength.”
On the way to the seventh floor, Qin Yi had also noticed the attitude of the Cultivators dining here.
Even when facing a mere server, those experts showed no hint of contempt, appearing to be very fearful of Zhexian Tower.
Soon, the Gray-Clothed Attendant approached, using Qi to carry a massive tray.
On it were plates of delicacies, twelve in total, along with three jars of peach blossom immortal brew.
With a wave of his hand, the Gray-Clothed Attendant placed the twelve dishes and three jars of wine on the table one by one, releasing an enticing aroma.
The Gray-Clothed Attendant smiled and said, “Honored guest, these twelve dishes and the peach blossom immortal brew are all specialties of our Zhexian Tower.”
“If you feel it's not enough, I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare more for you.”
Qin Yi nodded and, with a flick of his wrist, a spatial ring flew out as he spoke:
“This food is enough. We will be staying here for a month. Are the one hundred thousand Immortal Stones in this spatial ring enough to cover the accommodation?”
The Gray-Clothed Attendant took the spatial ring and checked the Immortal Stones within with a thought.
Immediately, a brilliant smile appeared on the attendant's face as he said:
“Honored guest, one hundred thousand Immortal Stones is more than enough. You could stay for another half month without any problem.”
Qin Yi nodded and asked, “If one wants to participate in the Tiger Ranking Competition, where should they go to register?”
A hint of surprise flashed in the Gray-Clothed Attendant's eyes, but he smiled and said, “Honored guest, the Beiming Immortal Gathering is held at the massive square in the very center of the city.”
“Both the Tiger Ranking Competition registration desk and the dragon ranking Competition registration desk are located at that square.”
At the same time, he secretly thought that Qin Yi must be participating in the Beiming Immortal Gathering for the first time, since he didn't even know where the tiger ranking registration was.
