Are you seniors staying at the hotel?
Liu Yunqing and his group of five chose an inn that looked good and went inside.
The shopkeeper, standing behind the counter, glanced at the group of people, his eyes instantly crinkling with wrinkles, and greeted them with great enthusiasm.
Along with the innkeeper's enthusiastic greetings, one could also hear the lively chatter of the monks in the main dining room.
This vibrant and lively scene was the complete opposite of the desolate and quiet place the three of them had seen when they entered the city.
Liu Yunqing and the others exchanged a glance, then said to the shopkeeper:
"I need five superior rooms."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face wrinkled even more, and he immediately replied with a smile:
"Alright, five superior rooms, please wait a moment, seniors."
As he spoke, he handed them their room number tags and pushed a small tray in front of them, saying:
"Drink the Lucky Tea and you'll have good luck wherever you go. Please have some tea, esteemed seniors."
Liu Yunqing had already told the group about the squad leader's reminder, and when the shopkeeper brought out the Lucky Tea, even Feng Piaopiao, who was the fastest-handed, didn't touch it.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, but we don't drink tea."
Liu Yunqing nodded politely, took the inn's doorplate, and prepared to return to her room.
"Hey, hey, hey, seniors, please wait a moment!"
Seeing that the group didn't even glance at the Lucky Tea, the shopkeeper immediately stopped them, saying mysteriously:
"Seniors, do you know that my Lucky Tea is no ordinary spiritual tea?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Piaopiao gave a light "scoff" and said:
"Not ordinary spiritual tea? Could it be that your Lucky Tea, once drunk, will bring me a heavenly opportunity, allowing me to ascend to immortality in one step?"
The shopkeeper's smug expression instantly turned awkward, and he spread his hands, saying:
"Then...how could it fall into our hands?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Piaopiao feigned disappointment and said:
"Oh? If you can't ascend directly, becoming a deity shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
The shopkeeper sighed.
The wind blew playfully, then let out a disappointed "Ah!" and said:
"If this won't work and that won't work, how can it even be called Good Luck Tea?"
Some cultivators in the main hall noticed this and laughed, trying to help the shopkeeper out of the predicament:
"Fellow Daoist, please don't make things difficult for the shopkeeper. Good Luck Tea doesn't concern itself with those things."
Feng Piaopiao indeed stopped making things difficult for the shopkeeper, and casually picked up a cup of tea, asking the cultivator who had spoken:
"What does that matter?"
The monk was very outgoing and answered Feng Piaopiao's questions readily.
"This Lucky Tea is one of the specialties of Biyue City. Whether you have something to ask for or not, you can have a cup."
What if you have desires? What if you don't?
This time, it was Ruan Qing, whose curiosity had been piqued, who spoke.
The cultivator who was speaking turned his head, saw that it was a pretty female cultivator, grinned, and then continued:
"If you ask for something, it will be granted; if you don't ask for anything, good fortune will come naturally."
After saying this, the cultivator leisurely picked up the teacup on the table, then let out a slightly exaggerated "sigh," and said:
"Why did this teacup get dry before my throat?"
Liu Yunqing raised an eyebrow quickly, then gently nudged Feng Piaopiao. Feng Piaopiao immediately reacted, stepping forward to sit next to the cultivator and saying:
"I just happened to get some good tea, but I haven't had a chance to drink it yet. Today, I'd like to borrow your seat and slowly enjoy a pot of it."
As he spoke, he took out tea leaves and began to brew tea on his own. As soon as the unique aroma of high-grade spiritual tea wafted over, not only the cultivator who spoke, but everyone in the entire inn's lobby turned their attention to him.
"What fragrant spiritual tea!"
The cultivator's eyes lit up as he spoke. He suppressed the urge to swallow, glanced around, and then pressed a spot on the table, slowly activating an isolation array.
"It's better this way when no one bothers us."
After doing all that, the man kept his eyes fixed on the boiling teapot.
Feng Piaopiao understood, quickly poured a cup of tea, and only after the other person drank it did she continue the previous topic:
"So please, fellow Daoist, explain to us in detail what exactly this 'granting every wish and bringing good fortune without asking' means?"
After drinking the spiritual tea, feeling the warm and nourishing spiritual energy of the tea gradually coursing through his meridians, he sighed before speaking:
"As you all must have seen when you entered the city, the people who came from Biyue City are all the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and they are the ones who have something to ask of you."
"Those who have a wish can drink this lucky tea and have their wishes fulfilled, regain their youth and health, and even come back to life if they are left with only one breath."
"As for those who have no desires, they are mostly like you, with considerable wealth, who come to visit out of curiosity."
“People like you who are ‘desireless’ will have good fortune and a chance in the city after drinking this lucky tea.”
As he spoke, the man nodded at Feng Piaopiao and cut him off first:
"However, this good fortune and opportunity cannot be achieved with your nonsense, and it can only be realized in Biyue City."
After listening to the man's words for a long time, Liu Yunqing immediately asked a question:
Have you ever personally witnessed someone who had made a request, transforming from an elderly, weak, sick, or disabled person into a normal, healthy one?
"And what about those who have no desires? What is the greatest good fortune you have ever seen, fellow Daoist?"
The man thought Liu Yunqing didn't believe him, and his expression turned somewhat displeased. Just as he was about to sulk, Feng Piaopiao poured him another cup of tea.
"We are new to Biyue City and don't know much about the city. We would like to ask you more questions, so please don't find it troublesome."
Feeling better, the man stopped being sullen and took the initiative to answer Liu Yunqing's question.
"Fellow Daoist, you need not doubt that I am exaggerating. For the first question, just wander around the city and ask any two people you meet, and you will know the answer—they all recovered their health after coming to Tianshui City."
As he spoke, the man gestured casually to several places in the lobby, saying:
"Look, don't even mention looking outside, there are plenty right here in our inn."
Liu Yunqing nodded, thought for a moment, and said:
"If something happens like a shattered golden core or a destroyed dantian, can one recover their health?"
The man was taken aback by Liu Yunqing's question. Realizing he hadn't actually seen it with his own eyes, he could only shake his head sheepishly and say:
"I really don't know."
Liu Yunqing didn't make things difficult for him, and instead continued to ask about good luck.
The man was frustrated because he couldn't answer, but seeing Liu Yunqing take the initiative to change the subject, he immediately took over the conversation:
“I don’t know how great the greatest good fortune is, but one great good fortune I have seen is somewhat related to what this fellow Daoist wished for.”
As if afraid that Feng Piaopiao would continue, the person finished speaking and continued:
"It wasn't a high-level breakthrough, but it was a direct breakthrough from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the early Golden Core stage."
"Such an opportunity is hardly a small one, is it? Such a good opportunity could be obtained simply by walking into any inn and drinking a cup of Lucky Tea."
"Tell me, isn't this Lucky Tea special enough? Isn't it lucky enough?"
The group exchanged glances and naturally praised the Lucky Tea. As Ruan Qing was carrying the tea, her eyes suddenly lit up when they fell on that person.
"Then I wonder, fellow Daoist, are you someone who seeks something or someone who seeks nothing?"
