"Young master! And this young lady, would you do me the honor of having a cup of tea at my humble abode?"

Just then, a gentle voice came from afar.

Shi Ji looked up.

A handsome and dashing young man in a white robe was walking towards them.

Upon seeing the young man in white robes, Shi Ji couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

This person actually came to her territory, and Shi Ji absolutely did not believe that Li Yuanba's encounter was accidental.

This guy has been following me.

This greatly displeased Shi Ji, as this person had actually gone so far as to follow her.

"Is this young master Li Yuanba?"

"Heavens! Our sect's young master is said to have already cultivated to sainthood, possessing extraordinary combat power, and has condensed a fifty-four-layered Vajra Saint Body at such a young age!"

The surrounding crowd began to discuss it.

Li Yuanba was indeed renowned, so his appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Shi Ji frowned, not expecting Li Yuanba to be so arrogant as to dare to come to his territory, which made Shi Ji feel a chilling killing intent.

Although Shi Ji's cultivation has now broken through to the Creation Realm.

However, Shi Ji could not guarantee that she could defeat Li Yuanba.

This person's combat power is extremely extraordinary.

Li Yuanba seemed to sense Shi Ji's hostility.

He glanced at Shi Ji indifferently, a chilling murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Li Yuanba looked at Xu Qing'er and Zhao Rong'er.

His eyes revealed a burning passion.

"Two beautiful ladies, would you do me the honor of sharing a few drinks with me?"

Xu Qing'er shook her head and said, "I'm sorry! We already have an appointment, so it's inconvenient for us to attend the banquet at the moment!"

Although Xu Qing'er admired Li Yuanba's heroic appearance, she did not intend to become close to him.

"Hehe, so you two had an agreement beforehand. What a pity. Let's meet again another day. I hope you two will give me a chance to pursue you then!" Li Yuanba said with a calm smile.

After saying that, he turned and left.

This person walks with his back ramrod straight.

Shi Ji glanced at Li Yuanba's arrogant back and couldn't help but curl her lip, thinking to herself, "What's with the attitude, you bastard? I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later."

Shi Ji nodded and walked into Juxianlou with Zhao Rong'er and Xu Qing'er.

After entering Juxianlou.

Shi Ji and the others chose a table by the window and sat down.

The waiters at Juxianlou quickly served up spiritual fruits and fine wines, and various delicacies filled the table.

Zhao Rong'er picked up a spirit fruit with her jade chopsticks and handed it to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji smiled slightly and reached out to take the spiritual fruit that Zhao Rong'er offered.

But the next moment.

Shi Ji's right hand was shaken off.

Fresh blood flowed down his palm.

Shi Ji's eyebrows suddenly shot up; she hadn't expected Zhao Rong'er to attack.

However, this matter is quite interesting.

Shi Ji's face darkened; she was determined to demand an explanation from Zhao Rong'er.

Zhao Rong'er stood up and scolded, "What are you doing? I didn't hurt you!"

"Is that so?" Shi Ji's expression grew increasingly grim.

"How can you doubt me? I was only feeding you the spiritual fruit out of kindness. How can you doubt such a kind woman like me?"

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow slightly; this woman was quite adept at acting.

Since she wouldn't admit it, Shi Ji didn't bother to expose her.

Shi Ji said, "I won't eat it! You can have it yourself!"

The words fell.

Shi Ji threw the spiritual fruit in her hand onto the ground.

Zhao Rong'er's pretty face immediately lost all color.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

"Brother Lin, Rong'er just wants to help you solve your problem!"

Xu Qing'er said bitterly.

Shi Ji sighed softly, "I understand, you've misunderstood. I didn't blame you. It's just that my right hand was a little numb just now, and I involuntarily made a defensive movement. It was my fault, and I'm truly sorry!"

Upon hearing Shi Ji's explanation, Xu Qing'er's beautiful face showed a shy expression.

"I misunderstood you!" Xu Qing'er said, blushing.

"Let's go somewhere else to drink. It's my treat today!" Xu Qing'er suggested.

Shi Ji said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Xu Qing'er smiled gently: "If Young Master Lin continues to be so formal, it will only make us seem distant."

Shi Ji replied with a smile, "What you say is true, young lady. How about we address each other as 'Young Master' and 'Young Lady'?"

"Young master! Young lady! This way, please."

The three followed the maid.

"Young master, are you from out of town? Why don't you try our newly opened tavern at Juxianlou and its specialties?"

Shi Ji nodded gently and said, "Very good, then let's go and have a taste!"

The maid smiled sweetly and then led Shi Ji, Xu Qing'er, and Zhao Rong'er to another restaurant.

This restaurant is called Yunlai Pavilion.

As the name suggests, it evokes the imagery of cranes soaring through the clouds and strolling in the void.

It can be described as one of the most famous restaurants in the Eastern Region.

As soon as you step into the restaurant, a rich floral fragrance wafts over you.

The fragrance of flowers and wine intertwine, making one feel intoxicated even before taking a sip.

At that moment, a beautiful woman walked quickly down the stairs.

The woman had a voluptuous and graceful figure.

Her face was exquisite and flawless.

Her skin was as smooth and delicate as cream.

Her gaze swept over Shi Ji and the other two, and she greeted them with a smile.

The woman approached the three men and said softly, "Welcome, distinguished guests!"

After the three of them were seated.

The woman asked, "What dishes would you like to order?"

"Just bring out all of your restaurant's signature dishes and put it on the tab!" Shi Ji said calmly.

The woman nodded slightly: "Please wait a moment, the dishes will be here soon."

Watching the woman's departing figure, Shi Ji stroked her chin and said, "This young lady possesses the alluring charm unique to the fox clan. Could she be the mastermind behind this restaurant?"

Xu Qing'er and Zhao Rong'er also noticed the woman and thought she was likely the real manager of the restaurant.

"Young master, this young lady is of noble birth, perhaps a member of a prominent family. It would be best if you were cautious in your interactions with her," Zhao Rong'er advised.

Shi Ji smiled calmly; he had never been afraid of so-called noble status.

“Sister Rong’er, there’s no need to worry. Although I am not an absolute expert, I still have the ability to protect myself,” Shi Ji replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong'er couldn't help but give Shi Ji a light reproachful look, knowing that Shi Ji was being modest, so she didn't say anything more.

Zhao Rong'er and Xu Qing'er are both intelligent people, and they naturally understand that certain forces have deep roots and should not be offended easily.

A low-key cultivator like Shi Ji is truly rare, which is why both women are willing to befriend him.

Before long, one exquisite dish after another was served, each dish being quite valuable.

At that moment, the woman also gracefully approached.

"This humble servant, Su Rong'er, greets you, young master, and offers you a toast!"

Su Rong'er walked to the table, bowed, and said.

Shi Ji raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Rong'er smiled and said, "I still have several jars of aged spirit wine in my collection. If you are interested, young master, may I come to my room to taste it?"

Shi Ji smiled and agreed, then followed Su Rong'er upstairs.

Xu Qing'er and Zhao Rong'er stayed in the hall to continue enjoying tea and chatting.

In the blink of an eye, Shiji followed Su Rong'er into her boudoir.

The interior is decorated in an extremely elegant manner.

"I have prepared the finest wine and delicacies. I will personally pour the wine for you to enjoy later!"

Su Rong'er spoke with a radiant smile, gracefully stepping aside.

As the door closed, Su Rong'er took out hundreds of jars of spirit wine.

She opened the seals on the wine jars one by one.

Each jar of spirit wine contains a crystal-clear immortal herb that emits strong spiritual energy fluctuations.

The total weight was about seven or eight hundred catties, enough for Shi Ji to drink several jugs. Su Rong'er took out a jade bottle to put away the immortal herbs and said softly, "Young master, this special brew is called 'Ten Thousand Year Monkey Wine'. Please taste it."

As they spoke, he had already filled Shiji's jade cup.

"Excellent wine," Shi Ji exclaimed.

He then tilted his head back and drank it all.

The monkey wine entered my stomach and immediately transformed into a warm current that flowed through my limbs and bones.

The feeling of comfort is indescribable.

Shi Ji looked pleasantly surprised.

"I'm glad you like it, young master!"

Su Rong'er covered her lips and chuckled softly, her beauty becoming even more radiant.

“It is indeed wonderful. May I ask if you could bring me a few more jars to taste?” Shi Ji asked.

Su Rong'er glanced at Shi Ji in surprise, not expecting him to be so blunt.

But she didn't dislike this kind of free-spiritedness.

On the contrary, I find this kind of temperament even more charming.

Su Rong'er said softly, "I still have several jars of spirit wine left. If you need it, young master, I will fetch it."

"Thank you for your trouble, young lady." Shi Ji bowed and expressed her gratitude.

Su Rong'er smiled charmingly, then turned and left.

Shi Ji poured himself a drink.

Suddenly, the demon lord's excited voice rang in his mind: "This is top-grade monkey wine. Drinking a bowl is equivalent to the effects of thirty years of ordinary monkey wine!"
If one drinks it all, it might even elevate one's cultivation level by a minor realm and improve one's bloodline. Years ago in Xiniu Hezhou, I encountered a monkey-clan cultivator!

"That monkey-clan cultivator possessed pure metal-attribute bloodline, but unfortunately his physical body was destroyed, leaving only his primordial spirit. If he hadn't been injured, he might have been able to recover his former cultivation level!"

Shi Ji frowned and said, "If the monkey cultivator can truly be reborn, this matter is probably not simple. However, I am not afraid of that monkey cultivator!"

After saying that, he asked, "Can this wine help you refine your body?"

The Demon Lord affirmed, "Indeed, if one can master the Sacred Ape Golden Body Technique, their defensive power will be heaven-defying!"

"The Sacred Ape Golden Body Technique?" Shi Ji was shocked.

Legend has it that this technique has been lost for a long time and is extremely ancient; even immortal emperors would find it difficult to master.

This technique is primarily for offensive combat.

If one can truly master this skill, their combat power will undoubtedly be astonishing.

"As expected of a power with a history of over five thousand years, it is truly extraordinary!"

"Hehe, if you like this monkey wine, young master, I'd be happy to give you ten jars!"

Su Rong'er smiled and then took out ten jars of monkey wine.

"That would be disrespectful."

As Shi Ji spoke, she put away the ten jars of fine wine.

"Young master, would you mind if I played a tune on the zither for you?" Su Rong'er suggested.

"Please!" Shi Ji invited, cupping her hands in greeting.

Su Rong'er parted her lips slightly, and melodious zither music immediately filled the entire pavilion.

The melody she played was so beautiful and melodious that Shi Ji was completely captivated by it.

The song is titled "The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate".

It was an ancient genealogy that Su Rong'er found in the Phoenix Clan's records.

Her piano skills have reached a state of perfection.

The focused expression on her face while playing the zither was particularly captivating.

Shi Ji admired the beautiful woman playing the zither, feeling refreshed and delighted.

When the piece ended, Shi Ji applauded in admiration, praising the musician's exceptional skill.

Su Rong'er bowed gracefully: "This humble servant has made a fool of herself!"

Shi Ji said, "Your zither playing is superb, without a doubt. Miss Su is truly a remarkable woman of exceptional intelligence and wisdom!"

Hearing the praise, Su Rong'er was overjoyed: "Young master, you flatter me. If you like it, I can play the zither for you every day from now on!"

Shi Ji smiled and waved her hand, saying, "There's no need for that. I've recently been studying an ancient musical magic."

If I master this skill, I can discuss romance with you another day. Tonight, let's just drink and not talk about anything else!

"Oh? What kind of ancient magic is it?"

Su Rong'er pressed for more information out of curiosity.

"The Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique!" Shi Ji replied.

"It's actually the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique! Could it be that Young Master is cultivating the Primordial Ancestral Witch Origin?" Su Rong'er exclaimed in disbelief.

"You actually know this technique?" Shi Ji was quite surprised.

This magical art has a long history.

However, due to its age.

Many musical scores that have been passed down in the world are incomplete.

The version held by Shiji is the complete version.

"This technique has been passed down for over five thousand years, and most people in the world should have heard of it!"

Su Rong'er then asked, "How powerful is the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique? Is it really as mysterious as it seems?"

"This technique is indeed terrifying! It is said to be the innate immortal technique of the ancient ancestral witch, which can be described as defying the heavens. Once mastered, it can awe all the heavens and myriad realms and be invincible."

"The innate immortal technique of the ancient ancestral witch?" Shi Ji asked in surprise.

"Exactly! Legend has it that Pangu and Gonggong fought for supremacy over the primordial world, and both were severely injured. Pangu perished on the banks of the Yellow River, while Gonggong was swallowed by the flood!"

"But before his death, Gonggong condensed a drop of his essence blood, which transformed into nine cauldrons, one of which guarded the northern border of the prehistoric world and the other of the nine provinces!"

"The Nine Cauldrons are: Xuanyuan Cauldron, Pangu Axe, Chaos Bell, Kongtong Seal, and Hetu Luoshu!"

"After the Nine Cauldrons fell onto the remains of Pangu, they transformed into innate spiritual treasures, among which the Xuanyuan Cauldron is rumored to be a sacred object!"

"The Nine Cauldrons contain the will of the Great Emperor Pangu! If one can comprehend them, one can comprehend the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique! This technique is said to be able to resist all kinds of curses and be impervious to all evil!"

Shi Ji listened with amazement.

This Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique is truly profound and extraordinary.

He was determined to obtain this technique.

Shi Ji pressed on, asking, "Where are Pangu's remains now?"

Su Rong'er shook her head: "This servant does not know about this matter either. Such secrets are only recorded in ancient books, but although the ancient books mention the remains of Pangu, they do not specify their exact location."

Shi Ji frowned slightly.

It seems that finding the remains of Pangu is no easy task.

Shi Ji said, "I plan to go into seclusion for another six months, and then I will leave this place."

Su Rong'er hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Quasi-Immortal realm, young master! We will meet again then. This servant will take her leave now."

The next day.

Shiji took Beibei back to their residence.

But seeing that Su Rong'er was still waiting, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

Su Rong'er said softly, "This servant knows that Young Master Yunheng is new to this place and still needs to purchase a place to live. I happen to know a few places suitable for you to stay!"

Yun Heng nodded slightly and said, "Then take me to see it!"

Su Rong'er led Yun Heng to a valley called "Bibo Lake".

Bibo Lake has a unique water feature, named for its emerald green color.

This lake is vast, covering hundreds of acres.

The lake is unfathomably deep.

This place is a popular spot for tourists to enjoy the scenery.

This day.

Yun Heng arrived at Bibo Lake and dived into the lake to cultivate.

The man in black who had been secretly protecting Su Rong'er quickly left to report the news to her.

Within the Azure Lake, Yun Heng unleashed the third level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

He devoted himself to cultivation in the lake.

Yun Heng attempted to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique, but discovered that he was completely unable to succeed.

It seems that the level of attainment has not yet been reached.

"It seems I'll have to find another place to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique!"

Yun Heng sighed softly.

He was preparing to leave Bibo Lake.

Just then, Yun Heng suddenly felt his steps become heavy.

He looked down.

The lake water churned violently, and then a powerful force of devouring surged out, instantly engulfing Yun Heng.

Yun Heng turned pale with shock.

Could it be that the creatures nurtured in the lake have come to life?
Yun Heng used his supernatural powers to resist this strange suction force.

His physical body rapidly grew larger. (End of Chapter)
