293: Tianji Pavilion

Su Yao hummed a little tune, swallowing bite after bite into her stomach. She immediately felt streams of immortal spirit qi continuously impacting her Dantian. Then, surprisingly, she experienced a Breakthrough while eating.

The aura of the Earth Immortal Realm spread out around her without the slightest concealment, causing the onlookers to click their tongues in amazement.

Su Yao didn't stop. She continued to eat heartily, stuffing all the delicious food into her mouth. A single plate of meat could be emptied into her stomach with just three to five scoops of her chopsticks.

A look of excitement spread across Su Yao's face as she proceeded to eat plate after plate. She discovered that the dishes here were not only delicious but could also enhance her Cultivation. This was simply her ideal way to Cultivate!

Having cultivated herself into a little foodie, Su Yao was extremely satisfied with her current lifestyle. From now on, she would eat more of these dishes containing immortal spirit qi, then supplement her Cultivation with the immortal fate stone. Her Cultivation was bound to advance by leaps and bounds.

The meal cost over five thousand immortal fate stones.

Su Yao's Cultivation directly rose to the Peak of the Earth Immortal Realm!

This terrifying speed of Cultivation left everyone astonished.

When settling the bill, Su Yao didn't even bat an eye, casually tossing out a Storage Pouch.

The Waiter, upon receiving it, was so startled his eyes went wide. He scrambled back to the counter, his steps visibly unsteady.

Several times he nearly fell, but he clutched the Storage Pouch in his hands tightly, terrified of damaging it in the slightest or letting it fall to the ground and gather dust. The resources inside were something he could never obtain in his lifetime.

The shopkeeper also turned pale with fright upon seeing so many resources.

Their considerations ran deeper. After all, anyone who could produce such a vast amount of resources at once was undoubtedly from a major Family.

She might even be a princess or prince from some Immortal Kingdom.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no one would carry so many resources on their person. Wasn't that practically inviting robbery?

Su Yao didn't look like someone from the city at all. She had no one protecting her, and her own Cultivation wasn't particularly strong. She seemed like a local tycoon who had stumbled upon a massive trove of resources in some Secret Realm.

The shopkeeper didn't dare underestimate such a person. Even though she showed nothing on the surface, she might have a top-tier Powerhouse protecting her in the shadows.

If her background was significant enough, she might not only have an Immortal King protecting her, but could even be under the protection of an Immortal Emperor.

Hundreds of years ago, when the only son of the Celestial Court's Immortal Emperor descended to the Lower Realm, he was protected by a full four Powerhouses of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

A mere glance from one of them could reduce an entire city to ashes.

Back then, a few fools with no sense had provoked them, resulting in an entire Immortal Kingdom vanishing from the world.

Sweating profusely from fear, the shopkeeper hurriedly instructed the Waiter to send over some extra dishes. Since the customer had ordered so much at once, it was only proper to offer some desserts as a token of their sincerity.

When Su Yao saw the many fruits and desserts brought over, she immediately brightened up. She had just finished eating, and now here came some sweets.

After all, a girl's stomach has two compartments: one for meals, and another for all sorts of desserts.

Su Yao had no intention of refusing. She stuffed them right into her mouth. The taste of the fruits and vegetables here was far superior to those in the Lower Realm. Nourished by abundant immortal spirit qi, even ordinary plants could become incredibly delicious.

After clearing everything on the table, Su Yao let out a long, satisfied burp. She was now just one step away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

She never imagined that a single meal could allow her to advance an entire major Realm. This was simply Heaven-Defying!

The shopkeeper and Waiter grew even more apprehensive. Normally, after a Cultivator ate one plate of such food, they would need three days and nights to fully digest all the immortal spirit qi within.

Yet, this young woman before them had immortal spirit qi swirling around her almost as soon as she swallowed the food. This was enough to show how formidable her Meridians were and how terrifying her talent.

With such talent and such wealth, she undoubtedly had a major power and significant backing supporting her. Her future achievement of the County Magistrate Realm was practically guaranteed. Whether she could reach the Immortal Emperor Realm would depend entirely on which path she chose!

Not daring to delay for a moment, the shopkeeper immediately called over the owner. After explaining the situation, both the shopkeeper and the owner approached Su Yao, bowing and scraping with ingratiating smiles.

They asked if she was dissatisfied with the taste of the dishes, inquired about the pricing, and finally, the owner directly guaranteed his service, handing over a golden card from his pocket.

With this card, all future meals at their establishment would be 50% off, supplied at cost price.

Su Yao naturally accepted it without refusal, excitedly tucking the card into her pocket. Then, satisfied, she wiped her mouth and walked out the door.

As soon as Su Yao left, the group of young talents at the neighboring table also stood up, unfriendly smiles on their faces, and followed her out.

Their minds weren't that sharp, and they didn't understand much about social niceties. They only knew the other party had more money than they could spend. In that case, they might as well borrow some for themselves.

"My Family's Elder Jin is a Yuan Immortal. My father paid a huge price for him to be my guardian. If we can rob that little girl, we'll split everything on her evenly," one said.

"This is my guardian, my third uncle. His Cultivation is also at the Yuan Immortal Realm. Robbing a Peak Earth Immortal like her would be a piece of cake!"

"This is my guard..."

After roughly tallying the Powerhouses by their side, they immediately followed Su Yao with great enthusiasm.

Su Yao had no immediate plans to leave the city. They also didn't dare to act within the city walls. If they truly dared to cause trouble inside the city, not only they, but their entire Families would likely pay a heavy price.

After all, the rules were set by the upper echelons. If the troublemakers were wealthy, they could settle things with money to avoid disaster. If they had no money, then they paid with their lives.

This had long become an unchangeable rule, which everyone abided by. Therefore, they planned to wait until she left the town before giving chase.

Outside the city walls, there were no Law Enforcement Teams or the like to manage things. As long as they could deal with her outside the city, all the resources would be theirs, and no one would even be able to trace it back to them.

Su Yao wandered left and right, soon purchasing a large pile of items. They were all local specialties: various exquisite trinkets, perfumes, sachets, and the like.

"Revered Master gave me so many resources, and there's still this much left..."

Unconsciously, Su Yao arrived before a building. Above it, three large characters were written: Tianji Pavilion.

After looking for a while, Su Yao couldn't figure out what business was conducted inside. A curtain blocked all probing from the outside.

Seeing that the people coming out were mostly smiling, Su Yao figured it was probably a restaurant.

Otherwise, people wouldn't be so happy.

So, full of curiosity, she walked in.
