"Sister, let's go see what delicious food we can find in the city. I'm hungry!" Long Hu Hu, after showing off her Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe, ran over and tugged on Ju Xun's arm, eager to eat.
"Alright, ask Ye Ting and the others if there are any restaurants nearby?"
Ye Ting and Ye Jue, after briefing the Pavilion Master of Bao Lai Pavilion on some matters, walked over and happened to hear the conversation.
"Of course there are! Most people in the Immortal Realm ascended from the mortal world. Although they don't eat grains after achieving辟谷 (bi gu - grain avoidance), there are still some immortals who indulge in earthly pleasures. Therefore, the Immortal Realm also has mortal-like streets, tea houses, and restaurants. This way, they can earn spirit stones for their own cultivation and add more enjoyment to the long path of immortality.
Of course, the food that can be served on the tables in the Immortal Realm must be exotic beasts containing immortal spiritual energy, spiritual fruits, and spiritual brews. Some even achieve immortality directly in the field of cultivation. They come to the Immortal Realm and continue their old professions. They also play around with cultivating spiritual rice in the Immortal Realm, and spiritual fruits have become assets envied by countless people in the Immortal Realm. There are ten thousand paths; regardless of the past, seek your true self, comprehend your own Dao, and achieving enlightenment and ascension is the Heavenly Dao!
"Wow, that's great! Hurry up and take us to eat." Long Hu Hu, a seasoned food enthusiast, had not tasted any meals since arriving in the Immortal Realm. Her sister, A You, and the others were busy cultivating after coming to the Heavenly Realm, so they didn't have time to cook.
Coincidentally, Purple Fiend Immortal Lord was also on the second floor of the Immortal Brew Pavilion. Her sharp eyes spotted Ju Xun and her group about to go upstairs. She immediately thought it was bad luck. When she saw the handsome man next to Ju Xun, she was so shocked that she stood up. How could Xuan Zun be with that woman?
"Is that Ju Xun Immortal Lord? And the one next to her?" Purple Fiend Immortal Lord couldn't believe it, especially since she had lost a confidant. She couldn't be mistaken.
"Immortal Lord, it is indeed that female immortal! As for the man next to her, this humble immortal doesn't recognize him." The female attendant was also present that day and recognized Ju Xun and the others. However, she had no impression of Hua Xun Xuan Zun, as she was a low-ranking female immortal who couldn't possibly know such a person!
Purple Fiend Immortal Lord stared intently at Ju Xun and the others. She didn't blame the female attendant, as if she hadn't met Xuan Zun by chance, she probably wouldn't recognize him even if she met him now. Moreover, the female attendant was such a low-status, inferior female immortal.
When she saw Long Hu Hu's familiar attire again, her jealousy went wild. The man she liked, and the Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe she liked, were taken by that woman.
"Respected Xuan Zun, this humble immortal pays her respects!" Hua Xun was suddenly blocked by a woman in purple, startled by her brazen gaze.
"Who are you? This Venerable doesn't know you!" Hua Xun, under Ju Xun's teasing gaze, quickly distanced himself. "Oh my, where did this woman come from? I hope Little Ju Xun doesn't misunderstand!"
Purple Fiend Immortal Lord was stunned, and her face flushed hot. Xuan Zun didn't even remember her.
"Respected Xuan Zun, last time at Immortal Lord Chenxi's banquet, this humble immortal had the honor of meeting Xuan Zun," Purple Fiend Immortal Lord hastily explained.
"Chenxi?" Hua Xun thought for a moment, confirmed he hadn't met this female immortal, and unceremoniously brushed her off.
"Immortal Venerable Chenxi, your friend is here to see you."
Immortal Venerable Chenxi...
Clearly, she's looking for you. Can't you see her eyes practically sticking to you?
"Immortal Venerable Chenxi, it turns out you are also here, what a coincidence!" Purple Fiend Immortal Lord only then noticed Immortal Venerable Chenxi's presence.
"A pleasure, Fairy Purple Fiend, are you also here to sample fine wines?" Immortal Venerable Chenxi didn't have a deep friendship with Purple Fiend Immortal Lord, but they were considered to be in a superior-subordinate relationship. However, Purple Fiend Immortal Lord had someone behind her, so even if her actions were excessive, as long as she didn't offend him, Immortal Venerable Chenxi was too lazy to intervene.
"Little Ju Xun, this woman is the one who caused trouble for you last time. I can't stand her, so how could I know her," Hua Xun transmitted his thoughts to Ju Xun to explain.
"Hmph, an explanation is a cover-up!" As soon as Ju Xun entered the Immortal Brew Pavilion, she sensed someone watching her, but thinking it was a public place with many people consuming in the Immortal Brew Pavilion, she didn't pay it any mind. However, with Purple Fiend Immortal Lord's appearance, she thought she was causing trouble again. Who knew she had taken a liking to this fellow Hua Xun. A slight tinge of sourness welled up in her heart.
Hearing Ju Xun's tone, Hua Xun's face lit up with joy. He could hear Little Ju Xun's displeasure, did this mean she cared a little about him?
"Fairy, would you be willing to sell me this dress? This dress is very important to this Lord!" After exchanging pleasantries with Immortal Venerable Chenxi, Purple Fiend Immortal Lord couldn't help but make a request to Long Hu Hu.
"No, this immortal also likes this dress very much!" Long Hu Hu also recognized this as the female immortal her sister encountered when she first ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Although she was in her spatial realm then, she saw everything.
"Little Fairy, how many immortal stones do you want for this dress? Name your price, and I'll give you double." Purple Fiend Immortal Lord now had confidence. As soon as she left Bao Lai Pavilion, she contacted her sect. Her father was an elder in the sect, and although his cultivation was only at the Great Golden Immortal level, he controlled the entire economic lifeline of the sect. Knowing that his beloved daughter didn't have enough immortal stones, he had already sent people over. They were to meet at the Immortal Brew Pavilion. With money in hand now, her confidence grew. She looked at Long Hu Hu with an arrogant expression.
"Big sister, can't you understand people? This immortal is not selling, and I'm not short of spirit stones!" Long Hu Hu pouted her pretty face and retorted without politeness. She deliberately spun around in front of Purple Fiend Immortal Lord, channeling her immortal power to activate the Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe. Instantly, the immortal robe flowed with radiant light, as if adorned with colorful starlight. Everyone around was stunned.
"So beautiful. A goddess, a goddess has appeared!" Someone exclaimed.
"Is it the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden?" an itinerant immortal excitedly said.
Others looked at Long Hu Hu with reverence. The Immortal Brew Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
The Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe was indeed a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Realm. At this moment, the Heavenly Gauze, infused with spiritual power, was layered, appearing as mist yet not mist, as if absorbing the surrounding immortal spiritual energy and slowly condensing into form. Immortal energy enveloped Long Hu Hu, with colorful radiant light faintly visible. At this moment, Long Hu Hu looked like a goddess descending to earth.
"This is the Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe!" a knowledgeable immortal exclaimed.
"Wuwu..." His companion suddenly covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking. Offending the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden was no trivial matter.
Purple Fiend Immortal Lord's anger intensified. This should have been her possession, and she would have looked even more beautiful wearing it. However, was the Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe absorbing immortal spiritual energy? She had never heard that this Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe could absorb surrounding spiritual energy! Moreover, she was definitely not the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden; that wretched woman was even more hateful!
Purple Fiend Immortal Lord had to admit that the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden was more hateful than the female immortal before her. This unknown female immortal was so beautiful it made one jealous.
"Hu Hu, hurry over, I've ordered what you like to eat." Ju Xun knew that the Heavenly Gauze Flowing Robe belonged to Long Hu Hu's mother, likely left to Hu Hu by her mother, otherwise such anomalies wouldn't appear. The description in the auction list of Bao Lai Pavilion only mentioned the defensive capabilities of the dress, not that it could absorb immortal spiritual energy to aid cultivation. This was too heaven-defying.
"Purple Fiend Immortal Lord, this Venerable will take his leave first, farewell!" Immortal Venerable Chenxi was momentarily captivated by the swirling immortal skirt of Long Hu Hu.
Watching Hu Hu happily fly towards Ju Xun, he no longer wished to engage in false pleasantries with Purple Fiend Immortal Lord.
Purple Fiend Immortal Lord...
