215: When you are still, you want to move

Wu Ning calmly returned to the Wu Clan manor in Tianxu Ancient City without causing any ripples.

At this time, most of the Wu Clan's Quasi Immortal Emperors were still within the Tianxu Ancient Land, and most of the others were out seeking treasures and gaining experience.

The manor basically only had some Disciples with the highest Immortal King cultivation, either Cultivating in seclusion or practicing Divine Ability techniques, all doing their own things.

Within the vast manor, immortal music lingered, divine radiance permeated, and it was a scene of peace and harmony.

Wu Ning stood on a tall pavilion, silently watching this scene, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

Then, he looked beyond the manor.

Compared to the peaceful tranquility within the manor, the city outside was incredibly bustling and noisy.

All races of the heavens gathered here, and no matter what happened, it seemed to not affect the prosperity of this vast Ancient City.

Wu Ning suddenly felt like moving after a period of stillness; he had been in Tianxu Ancient City for a while and seemed to have never personally experienced the city's prosperity.

Now that he planned to leave, he decided to experience it before his departure.

As soon as he thought of it, Wu Ning immediately went out with Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai.

He walked along the streets of the Ancient City like an ordinary person; these streets were so long that an ordinary Mortal could not walk the entire length of one street in a lifetime.

The grand and tall palatial buildings on both sides of the streets were equally magnificent, overflowing with divine light and resplendent with gold and jade; these buildings were already extremely ancient, most of them possessing an incredibly long history, allowing one to clearly feel a strong aura of time.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai looked around curiously, various novel things they had never seen before making them dizzy, feeling as if their eyes weren't enough.

Although the Human Race form had become the mainstream in all heavens, there were still many beings or races who did not like to transform into human form; they preferred their original forms.

This also led to the peculiar sight of various strange and wonderful beings moving through the streets.

In addition, many races, while choosing to transform into human form, would still retain some characteristics of their respective races.

For example, some women of the Fox and Cat Clans would still retain their ears and tails when transforming into human form.

Their graceful figures, enchanting and alluring, also constituted a unique and beautiful sight.

However, some were quite an eyesore, such as a human body topped with a pig's or ox's head, which truly spoiled the view.

Wu Ning walked with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped in front of an extremely simple small stall, “Boss, I’ll take this Cold Moon Lotus.”

“Kid, the things here are very expensive; can you afford it?”

Behind the stall, a leopard-headed boss lay on a chair, closing his eyes and saying lazily.

Wu Ning glanced at him; this fellow with a leopard head was surprisingly an Immortal Emperor expert.

“An Emperor-grade Cold Moon Lotus, though rare, its actual value isn't great, so it's not considered precious.

How about 300 million Immortal Crystals?”

Upon hearing this, the leopard-headed boss immediately opened his eyes.

He looked up and sized up Wu Ning, realizing that he couldn't see through his cultivation, and his expression immediately became a bit more serious.

“Little brother, you have good eyesight! This immortal medicine is indeed an Emperor-grade Cold Moon Lotus!”

The leopard-headed boss stood up, cupped his hands, and sighed with a conflicted expression, “Alas, logically speaking, 300 million Immortal Crystals should indeed be enough for the value of this Cold Moon Lotus.”

“But little brother, you don't know, to pick this Cold Moon Lotus, I lost two brothers.”

“Those were life-and-death brothers with millions of years of friendship!”

Wu Ning raised an eyebrow, “So?”

“So, you have to add more money!”

The leopard-headed boss said with a mournful expression, “300 million Immortal Crystals can't buy back the lives of my two old brothers, little brother, can you add a bit more?”

Wu Ning nodded, “Alright.”

“Given that you lost two brothers, I'll be merciful and add another hundred.”

“One… one hundred?”

The leopard-headed boss was stunned; did this person have no sympathy? He had explained it to this extent, and only added a hundred?

“What, too little?”

Wu Ning looked at him expressionlessly.

A bone-chilling coldness suddenly arose deep within the leopard-headed boss's Soul, as if he was being stared at by some great terror, scaring him so much that large beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

He immediately realized that the person in front of him was definitely someone he could not afford to provoke.

“Not little, not little!”

The leopard-headed boss vigorously shook his head, quickly offering the Emperor-grade Cold Moon Lotus from the stall with both hands, “Sir, please take it.”

Clap!

Wu Ning directly threw him a simple Storage Pouch, “300 million and one hundred Immortal Crystals, count them yourself.”

“No need, no need, with your status, Sir, how could you possibly deceive a small person like me.”

Although he said that, he still couldn't help but secretly send a wisp of Divine Thought to scan it.

Wu Ning put away the Cold Moon Lotus and turned to leave directly.

“Sir, please take your time.”

The leopard-headed boss quickly said loudly.

Wu Ning smiled faintly; he was planning to brew wine using the blood and essence of those Immortal Emperor beings, and this Cold Moon Lotus was an excellent auxiliary ingredient that could enhance flavor and aroma, remove the peculiar smell from the blood and essence, and improve the taste of the immortal wine.

Afterward, Wu Ning entered a large commercial pavilion and spent billions of Immortal Crystals to gather all the auxiliary ingredients needed for brewing.

To match the blood and essence of those Immortal Emperor beings and brew the best immortal wine, he used only the highest quality auxiliary ingredients.

“Everything is ready; I can start brewing once I return.”

Leaving the commercial pavilion, Wu Ning continued to stroll down the street.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, holding various special delicacies, followed him step by step.

“Master, it's so lively in there! Why don't we go take a look?”

Xiao Bai suddenly looked at a tall, ornately decorated building across the street and said.

Wu Ning turned his head to look, and the three characters “Tianxiang Tower” immediately came into view.

“Tianxiang Tower…”

Wu Ning murmured to himself, his memory instantly returning to over nine hundred years ago, when he was still a young man in his prime, who loved to listen to music in pleasure houses.

Tianxiang Tower was the place he frequented the most.

He hadn't expected there to be a Tianxiang Tower in this Tianxu Ancient City as well.

Wu Ning tapped Xiao Bai's head, “You're too young to be learning bad things; how can a girl go to a place like that?”

“Master…”

Xiao Bai opened her eyes innocently, looking at him pitifully.

“Dao Child, since you've come to Tianxiang Tower, why not come up and sit for a while?”

Just then, a familiar voice entered Wu Ning's ears from the Tianxiang Tower.

Wu Ning looked up and saw Wei Jiang leaning against the railing on the Tianxiang Tower, raising his wine cup to him from afar.

“Cough…”

“Since someone has invited me, and it's hard to refuse such hospitality, let's go in and take a look.”

Wu Ning coughed dryly, then, with a flash, he took Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai and flew into the Tianxiang Tower.

“Lord Wei, you're truly in high spirits, not on duty in the Eastern Region, yet you've come to this place of pleasure to amuse yourself.”

In the splendid and spacious private room, Wei Jiang was drinking alone.

He sighed and said, “Dao Child, you are still young, and there are many things you surely haven't experienced yet.”
