The door to the private room opened gently, and the waiter, Nan Li, and his son Nan Ming pushed the food cart in.
Nanli smiled and apologized to Ling Yun and his group:
"Gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I encountered some issues today that caused a slight delay."
Since all of you were introduced by Miss Nangong, I should have personally gone to the city gate to greet you.
I apologize for any neglect I may have caused you all! I apologize!
Everyone smiled and returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Ling Yun laughed:
"Manager Nan, you're too kind. We came all the way to Nancheng Restaurant to sample the Nancheng Eighteen Banquet. We hope you won't disappoint us!"
Upon hearing this, Nanli said solemnly:
"Gentlemen, rest assured, the Nancheng Eighteen Banquet was invented by my ancestors. Only the Nancheng Eighteen Banquet of my family can be considered the most authentic!"
My ancestral home was originally in Huonan City, but because my wife's ancestral home is in Huomiao City, and she didn't like Huonan City, our family moved to Huomiao City. But the taste won't change!
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun and the others revealed meaningful smiles. Nan Ming was a romantic, and so was Laozi Nan Li.
It really is a family trait.
Immediately, the waiter and Nanming gently placed the Nancheng Eighteen Banquet on the table. After lifting the lid, Nanli began to introduce it.
"The Eighteen Banquets of the Southern City, each dedicated to the rat..."
Upon hearing the word "rat," everyone's expression changed slightly, and Nanli quickly explained:
"It's a divine bamboo rat, fed with purple bamboo from clear springs. Its essence is rich, and its taste is absolutely superb!"
Everyone nodded; the bamboo rats were alright.
Nanli continued:
"Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig."
In addition, there are Purple Jade Divine Vine, Moon-Closing Fairy Mushroom, Glazed Phoenix Leaf, Azure Cloud Rain Night Grass, Horse-bodied Bull-headed Terrier, and Crimson Cloud Fire Dragon Fruit!
Eighteen delicious dishes, made with my family's unique recipe.
Due to the scarcity of ingredients, reservations can only be accepted twice a year!
After hearing this, everyone's anticipation for the Nancheng Eighteen Banquet reached its peak.
"Hehe~ I'll try the food!" Ling Shan picked up her chopsticks and began to taste the dishes.
Her big eyes grew brighter and brighter until, when she ate the chicken, her eyes burst forth with a rainbow of light.
"Mmm..." So delicious it made her want to cry, Ling Shan pointed at the chicken and asked:
"What kind of chicken is this? It tastes amazing!"
Nanli was slightly taken aback when he looked at the chicken. He was secretly alarmed that this chicken was prepared for the Nangong family. Today, his son Nanming had seen the light and had repented. In a moment of joy, he slaughtered the chicken.
"This...this is a fairy hen!"
Fairy Hen!
Upon hearing this, even Ling Yun, a great cultivator with extensive knowledge, was slightly taken aback.
The fairy hen is one of the most delicious birds in the world, and it is a rare and precious find.
The taste is so good that you'll crave it for a lifetime after just one bite; no wonder Ling Shan cried while eating it.
Even a normal cultivator would cry upon eating the Immortal Mother Chicken, because it is simply too delicious.
After calming his excited emotions, Ling Yun asked:
"Where did Manager Nan get the fairy hen?"
Nanlidao:
"Outside Huobang City, on Huobang Mountain, there is a secret realm called Xianhua. A genius captured a fairy hen from this secret realm."
He only thought the chicken was pretty and didn't know it was a Fairy Hen. I happened to be buying some from Fire Gang City and bought it when I passed by.
The Mysterious Realm of Immortal Beauty!
Ling Yun and his group looked at each other, their expressions filled with curiosity.
Nanli explained:
"That is a secret realm that only young geniuses can enter, and it is said that great opportunities can be obtained inside."
Most of the geniuses in the Tang Domain have entered the Immortal Flower Secret Realm, but that secret realm is very strange. Nearly half of the geniuses who entered the secret realm either reappeared decades or even tens of thousands of years later.
Either go straight back to the past, which is really weird!
Abao asked curiously:
"Why would anyone go there if it's so dangerous?"
Nanli laughed:
"The other half has received great opportunities, especially in the last few hundred years, there are fewer and fewer geniuses who can enter the future or the past."
Moreover, those geniuses who traveled back to the past or future also received considerable opportunities.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun and his group were somewhat tempted, not by the opportunities in the Immortal Flower Secret Realm, but by the Immortal Mother Chicken.
This is one of the most delicious celestial birds, a rare find!
Nanli took a jar of wine from the food cart, placed it on the table, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, and said:
"This is our shop's secret-recipe rice wine. Please have a taste, esteemed guests. I won't disturb your meal any longer, farewell!"
Immediately afterwards, Nanli and his son left the private room.
"Brother~ I want to eat fairy hen again!"
Ling Shan looked at Ling Yun pitifully; she really liked eating chicken.
Now that she has tasted one of the most delicious birds of the world, the Fairy Hen, she no longer feels any attraction to other breeds of chicken.
Ling Yun rubbed her little head and smiled:
"Alright, after we finish the Southern City Eighteen Feast, let's go to the Immortal Flower Secret Realm to catch the Immortal Mother Chicken!"
“Okay, brother!” Ling Shan said sweetly, her little face beaming with joy.
After a satisfying meal, Ling Yun and his group left the restaurant, and Nan Li's father personally saw them off.
Nanlidao:
"You all want to visit the Immortal Flower Secret Realm, right? It just so happens that in half a month, the Immortal Flower Secret Realm will open once every three years."
"In about half a month, you will all be able to reach Fire Gang City!"
The next city happened to be Huobang City. Lingyun and his group bid farewell to Nanli and his son and left Huomiao City for Huobang City.
Half a month later, Ling Yun and his group arrived at the foot of Huobang Mountain.
The Immortal Flower Secret Realm is located on the top of Huobang Mountain.
One advantage of the Tang Domain over other major domains is that secret realms, which contain opportunities, are not monopolized.
The secret realm will be opened to all geniuses in the Tang Domain. Any young genius in the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending stages can enter the secret realm to seek opportunities.
Unlike other great domains, secret realms and other treasure lands are dominated by one or more powerful forces, allowing only geniuses from their own forces to enter in search of opportunities.
However, the Immortal Flower Secret Realm is not accessible to everyone who meets the requirements; one must pay 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to enter.
For an average genius, completing more sect or family missions can earn them 100,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Ling Yun and his group lowered their cultivation levels to the Mahayana stage, as they all possessed the physical attributes of young people.
The conditions for entering the Immortal Flower Secret Realm are met.
Then they flew to the mountaintop, where there was a huge spatial gate.
Abao handed over the spirit stone fee for entering the gate to the old man guarding the entrance.
The old man nodded and gave some instructions:
"Young friends, there are red markers indicating certain areas in the secret realm. These areas often experience spatial-temporal turbulence."
Do not enter if you see a red monument, otherwise you may be transported to the past or future.
It would be fine if we were transported to the past, but if it were to the future, we might never see our loved ones again.
"I was one of those people transported to the future. When I returned, I was old and frail, and all my loved ones were gone!"
After listening to the old man's advice, Abao politely clasped his hands in greeting and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
The old man smiled and nodded, then opened the spatial gate, allowing Ling Yun and his group to enter the Immortal Flower Secret Realm.
Upon entering the Immortal Flower Secret Realm, the first thing Ling Yun and his companions saw was a huge stone tablet.
Four large characters are engraved on it:
Xianhua Civilization!
