It took Lingyun and his group half a month to reach Fire Lotus City.
On the way, I learned that the layout of Tangyu was a large city surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of smaller cities.
Each sect can only possess one large city; the number of smaller cities depends on the sect's strength.
The disciples of the major sects mostly come from cities large and small.
Although they had only known each other for half a month, Ling Yun could describe Tang Yu's impression in two words:
urgent!
As if facing unknown dangers, every cultivator was working hard to cultivate, not wasting a single moment.
Moreover, the Tang Domain has achieved universal cultivation of immortality, and you can hardly see a single mortal.
At this moment, Ling Yun and his group stood in front of the city gate of Fire Lotus City.
The entire city was covered in fiery red walls and buildings.
As the group entered Fire Lotus City, the pedestrians on the road walked quickly, and the shops along the street sold things related to cultivation.
We only saw a restaurant when we got to the city center.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and his group entered the restaurant and were led by the waiter to the most luxurious private room on the top floor.
Abao asked the waiter:
"What's so special about the lotus root feast in Fire Lotus City? Could you tell me about it?"
The waiter smiled warmly:
"Our Fire Lotus City is under the jurisdiction of the Fire Lotus Sect. It is said that the Fire Lotus Sect has one of the Ten Sacred Flames, the Nirvana Fire Lotus."
Under the influence of the Nirvana Fire Lotus, the lotus roots and seeds of our Fire Lotus City are incredibly nutritious and have an even more delicious flavor.
Hehe~ No matter how well I praise it, nothing beats the customer tasting it for themselves!
Upon hearing the name Nirvana Fire Lotus, Ling Yun and the others were all shaken.
The Ten Sacred Flames are: Primordial Sacred Flame, Netherworld Purple Flame, Nirvana Fire Lotus, Chaos Immortal Flame, Glazed Purple Gold Flame, Immortal Mother Cloud Flame, Annihilation Black Flame, Heaven-Burning Blue Flame, Primordial Purple Flame, and Innate White Flame.
The Primordial Sacred Flame and the Netherworld Purple Flame have already submitted to Ling Yao.
The Nirvana Fire Lotus is the sacred fire that countless cultivators dream of, allowing them to be reborn from the ashes.
If Lin Muyao had used the Nirvana Fire Lotus back then, she would never have almost perished.
"Then let's have a whole lotus root feast!" Abao said with a smile.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir!"
As the waiter walked out, two monks whose faces were obscured entered from the opposite room.
Ling Yun and his group didn't pay any attention.
Soon, the whole lotus root feast was served, including candied lotus root, stewed lotus seed soup, lotus root stuffed with meat, and a total of seventy-eight dishes.
The room was instantly filled with a delicious aroma.
Ling Shan raised her little hand and said in a clear voice:
"I'll try out the dishes for my older brothers and sisters!"
Then, Ling Shan tried every dish, and the more she ate, the brighter her eyes shone.
"Delicious! Every dish is perfect!"
Everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to feast.
"Excellent! Lotus root contains powerful fire energy, which can cleanse the marrow and eliminate death and turbidity."
Ling Yun praised.
"That's right!" Abao said while eating, "A whole lotus root feast costs 800,000 spirit stones per meal, and that's top-grade spirit stones."
At that moment, two middle-aged men in the bakery across the street looked at each other.
"Elder, aren't you worried about our meeting being exposed by being arranged here today?"
"Hehe...who would have thought we'd meet at a restaurant?"
One of the two middle-aged men was the Grand Elder of the Fire Lotus Sect, and the other was the Tiger-Taming Arhat, one of the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism.
In the Buddhist hierarchy of attainments, Arhats correspond to Great Emperors, Bodhisattvas to True Immortals, and Buddhas to Immortal Kings.
The Buddha is a celestial emperor.
The Arhat Subduing Tiger said in a deep voice:
"Our next move to plan the entire Tang Domain is to prepare for future conquest. As long as the Fire Lotus Sect submits to our Buddhist sect, the future ruler of the Tang Domain will be the Fire Lotus Sect!"
The Grand Elder smiled slightly and asked:
How should we coordinate with Buddhism?
"Using the Fire Lotus Sect as a secret base, I will gradually deploy a Buddhist and Taoist army of three billion."
"If war breaks out in the future, this army of three billion will be a sharp blade, piercing the heart of the Tang army!"
After speaking, the Arhat Subduing Tiger took out a storage bag and placed it in the hand of the Fire Lotus Sect's Grand Elder:
"Elder, please accept this token of our appreciation. With the tide of war looming, the sooner you submit to Buddhism, the more influence and benefits you will gain after the war!"
The Grand Elder glanced discreetly at the treasures in the storage bag, his pupils shrinking involuntarily before he nodded in satisfaction.
He raised his glass and smiled:
"Amitabha Buddha, may the Buddha have mercy!"
The Arhat Subduing the Tiger clasped his hands together, his face filled with compassion.
"Buddhism forbids alcohol, sex, and meat, so this humble monk will substitute tea for alcohol. Amitabha!"
Click!
Suddenly, the sound of the private room door closing was heard, and both the Grand Elder and the Tiger-Taming Arhat felt a chill run down their spines.
The two immediately left the room, and the moment they opened the door, they saw Abao with a toothpick in his mouth, preparing to enter the private room.
He just came back after paying the bill.
"stop!"
The Fire Lotus Sect's Grand Elder looked at A Bao and coldly shouted.
Ah Bao turned around and looked at the two middle-aged men with thick hair and dignified demeanor, asking curiously:
"What's wrong, fellow Daoists?"
The Grand Elder stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
What did you hear?
Ah Bao looked completely bewildered. "What? What did I just hear? You two must have mistaken me for someone else."
As he spoke, A Bao ignored them and prepared to open the door to enter the private room.
The next moment!
The Fire Lotus Sect's Grand Elder reached out and grabbed A Bao by the neck, then tried to probe his sea of consciousness to see if A Bao had overheard something.
"Big brother, save me!"
boom!
The door to the private room was violently kicked open, and the imposing and fierce Qiongqi strode out of the room.
The moment they saw Qiongqi, both the Grand Elder of the Fire Lotus Sect and the Tiger-Taming Arhat were shaken to their core, as if they had witnessed a great terror.
The next moment!
Qiongqi reached out and grabbed the Fire Lotus Sect's Grand Elder by the neck, coldly saying:
