Chapter 25 Can the "Great Sword" really improve one's cultivation level?

The young girl walked to the table in the corner of the room, picked up a glass bottle filled with a transparent, viscous liquid, and with a professional smile on her face, calmly uttered one phrase: 'Big Sword!'

Upon hearing these three words, Gu Ye was instantly dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word for a long time. Beside him, Zhang Fei's body tensed up, also confused by Gu Ye's reaction.

'Can I refu...' Before Gu Ye could finish, a familiar death threat descended upon him again. Helpless, Gu Ye shut his mouth and submitted to the girl's arrangements.

The girl took the glass bottle and walked to the waterbed in the center of the room: 'Respected guest.' 'Please!'

The girl gestured for Gu Ye to lie on the bed. Gu Ye took a deep breath, walked slowly to the waterbed, and prepared to lie down.

At this moment, the mechanical female voice from before sounded in his ear again: 'Respected guests, please enjoy the prelude to the first meal at the Dusk Restaurant.'

Hearing this, Gu Ye couldn't help but complain internally: 'So the prelude is a "Big Sword", huh!'

Gu Ye lay on the bed. Just as the girl was about to begin the "Big Sword", she saw Zhang Fei still standing by the bed, looking at her with an aggressive expression.

The smile on the girl's face remained unchanged: 'When a guest is relaxing, how can one allow others to watch?'

After speaking, the girl waved her hand, and Zhang Fei shattered like a falling mirror, transforming back into a card and returning to Gu Ye's spiritual space.

Seeing this, Gu Ye's pupils constricted, and he lay on the bed, not daring to move an inch.

Seeing that no one was bothering them anymore, the girl smiled and lowered her head: 'Guest, let's begin.'

The same scene occurred in the rooms of every Card Master who had entered.

Two hours passed quickly.

Under the exquisite massage techniques of the girls, the Card Masters did not feel the passage of time.

'Mmm~~' A sleepy-eyed Gu Ye slowly opened his eyes, glancing around the unfamiliar environment with a dazed look.

It took him a few seconds to react, and then he climbed up vigilantly; the girl from earlier was no longer in the room.

Before Gu Ye could continue looking around, the familiar mechanical female voice echoed in the room again: 'Respected guests, please move to the hall in five minutes...' 'Dining time is approaching!!!'

After hearing the prompt, Gu Ye climbed off the bed and felt a chill all over. Looking down, he realized he was only wearing his underwear.

He looked around, found his clothes, and hurriedly put them on. Seeing that there was still time, he carefully felt the changes in his entire body.

Constantly changing positions and stretching his body, he couldn't help but exclaim: 'This feels so comfortable, my whole body feels much lighter.'

His biggest discovery was that he had actually reached Bronze rank 6, with absolutely no side effects.

'This Card Domain was definitely worth coming to.'

Even if he didn't obtain any card-making materials later on, this trip to the Card Domain was already worth it.

At this moment, the mechanical female voice reminded him: 'Respected guest, you have 10 seconds left to leave the room...' 'If you like it here, guest, you can stay with us forever~ Hehehe~'

The last sentence from the mechanical female voice was no longer a cold prompt, but carried a certain eerie delight.

Gu Ye hurried toward the door, catching a glimpse of the remaining glass bottles on the corner table out of the corner of his eye.

He immediately rushed to the table, stuffed all the bottles containing the liquid into his pockets, and then dashed out of the door.

Teleported to the hall, Gu Ye had a mask carefully placed on his face by the Card Domain's rules.

Although everyone in the hall was wearing different masks, Chu Ling and Ye Suxuan's absolute height advantage allowed Gu Ye to recognize them at a glance.

'Old Chu, you look really handsome in a suit!' Walking up to them, Gu Ye looked the group up and down.

'That goes without saying.'

Although Chu Ling was burly, the invisible power of the Card Domain's rules made the suit fit his physique perfectly.

Ye Suxuan wore a high-waisted A-line evening gown, and with her tall stature, her posture was graceful and her aura powerful.

The most eye-catching person in the room was Yan Shuangling; a white satin slim-fitting long dress outlined her curves, with a minimalist design that fully displayed her cold and elegant beauty.

Even though a mask obscured her face, she still firmly held the gaze of all the men, also drawing jealous looks from other women.

Chu Ling's eyes inadvertently caught sight of Gu Ye's bulging pockets, and he asked curiously: 'Old Gu, why are your pockets bulging?'

Gu Ye leaned forward and said: 'Did you all have a "Big Sword" just now, and did your cultivation realms improve?'

Hearing this, both Chu Ling and Ye Suxuan nodded; they hadn't really cared much about the matter.

Yan Shuangling hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. Although she was wearing a mask, her eyes drifted evasively.

Upon closer observation, one could even notice that the tips of her ears were slightly red.

'I suspect the realm improvement is related to this liquid they used.' Gu Ye pulled open his pocket, revealing a corner of a bottle.

After he finished speaking, the three of them gave him a thumbs up simultaneously, and Chu Ling's voice rang out in frustration: 'How did I not think of that!'

The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the hall, attracting everyone's attention to them.

'Smack~' Ye Suxuan slapped him on the head and glared at him: 'Keep your voice down.'

Chu Ling covered his head and looked at Ye Suxuan aggrievedly: 'Oh!'

At this moment, the familiar mechanical female voice sounded again: 'Respected guests, please enjoy the [First Meal]!'

As soon as the voice fell, the people in the center of the hall were suddenly pushed to the edges by an invisible force. Immediately after, a delicately carved large tree slowly rose from the ground.

The tree was full of pale pink peach blossoms in full bloom; anyone could recognize at a glance that this was a peach tree.

But eerily, it only had two main branches extending to the sides from the middle of the trunk, and there wasn't a single side branch on the entire tree; all the peach blossoms were densely clustered on these two main branches.

After the large tree completely settled, a huge round table was revealed at its base, perfectly encircling the tree roots tightly.

The table was filled with a dazzling array of exquisite food, and a rich, alluring aroma permeated the surroundings, making everyone's stomachs rumble with hunger.

Although the food was very tempting, many Card Masters were able to restrain their desires; for those who couldn't, their teammates would help them.

Seeing that no one had come to the table to eat for a long time, the mechanical female voice continued to issue invitations: 'Respected guests, please dine as soon as possible~'

Some people wanted to use cards, but the Card Domain's rules directly restricted their use.

Everyone present could clearly hear the change in her voice, and some could no longer resist the temptation, throwing themselves onto the table and devouring the delicacies on the round table to their heart's content.

'I don't care anymore, it smells too good.'

'Delicious, so delicious, it's fucking delicious!'

Several people's eyes glowed green as their hands, seemingly beyond their control, grabbed the food and fed it into their mouths.

As time passed, more and more people joined the round table, and those who could still hold out were already on the verge of collapse.

The aroma emitted by the food on the round table penetrated into people's souls, stirring the throbbing deep within their hearts.

When Gu Ye's eyes inadvertently glanced at the food on the round table, he would also show a trace of longing, and it was only through his tenacious willpower that he managed to suppress this urge.

'Soon, it will be over soon.'

Gu Ye looked tense, staring intently at the eerie peach tree in the center of the hall.

As the others continued to eat, the peach blossoms on the peach tree gradually became more vivid, slowly turning the color of fresh blood.

'The Card Domain has been suppressing us from summoning cards.'

Yan Shuangling nervously watched the eerie scene before her; the stomachs of those eating had already turned into pregnant bellies. They were still stuffing food into their mouths, seemingly unable to feel any pain.
