Chapter 1146 - 1171: Brotherhood Bonds
At this moment, the tavern owner resumed his stance and quickly walked towards Chu Linfeng, choked up, and called out, "Boss, is it really you, boss?"
"You brat, you actually learned to become a tavern owner, that’s no small feat! Go get a few dishes, and let’s have a good chat between brothers!" Chu Linfeng said.
At this moment, there weren’t many people in the tavern hall, so their actions went unnoticed. However, the shopkeeper clearly observed every move they made, his heart filled with unspeakable astonishment, as if a serene lake suddenly erupted with colossal waves, inciting fear.
His boss was a very rare expert of this era. According to him, he had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm. Before meeting him, the shopkeeper was just an Earth Martial Realm ant. It was thanks to following him that he attained his current strength and status.
Previously, he called this young man "boss." According to the boss, his only boss was the Sect Master of the Green Frost Sect, Chu Linfeng, an extraordinarily powerful entity rumored to have ascended to the Immortal Realm. Judging by his surprised expression and his address earlier, it can be concluded that this young man is indeed the Sect Master of the Green Frost Sect, Chu Linfeng.
If people learn that the number one strongman on the Divine Land Continent appeared in Fengyue City, it would surely stir up a huge storm, which is incredibly unbelievable, almost like a dream.
"Elder Lin, don’t be nervous. He’s the boss I told you about. Do not spread this matter; I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. Prepare a few small dishes and bring them to my room," the tavern owner said. The shopkeeper’s expression confirmed he understood Chu Linfeng’s identity.
"Understood, I will personally prepare it right away!" the shopkeeper said respectfully.
Chu Linfeng then entered a special room in the tavern with the tavern owner. Once the door was closed, the tavern owner couldn’t help but exclaim, "Boss, am I dreaming? Is it really you? How did you appear in Fengyue City? What is going on?"
"Wei Qun, I didn’t expect to meet you here. If it weren’t for your Jadescent Nectar, I might have just passed you by. I came down to the Lower Realm specifically this time to check on you brothers and your sisters-in-law," Chu Linfeng said.
Soon, food and wine were brought in, personally delivered by the shopkeeper. "Elder Lin, you’re not an outsider; stay and have a drink with the boss and me!"
"Young master, this isn’t proper. A humble servant like me shouldn’t dine with Sect Master Chu; it’s highly inappropriate!" the tavern shopkeeper immediately said.
"It’s okay, sitting down for a drink is quite normal. Besides, I’m no longer the Sect Master of the Green Frost Sect. Wei Qun, what’s the story with this Elder Lin? Is he someone you treated or what? Also, how did your strength improve so rapidly to reach the Seventh Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Boss, it’s been over a hundred years since you left, and a lot has happened in those years. Didn’t I tell you that sporadic memories would occasionally appear in my mind? Those are all related to medicinal herbs.
Once, while I was on a task, I encountered robbers. Their strength was higher than mine and I was badly injured. I hit my head on a large stone and immediately fell unconscious.
Thinking I was dead, they took my money and left, not knowing I survived. It was one of those narrow escapes where disaster granted fortune. The pouring rain that night woke me from my daze.
Thinking I was hungry, I gulped down rainwater, clutching tightly to my life. The next day, I got up from the ground, my head dizzy, unable to discern directions. In this bewildered state, I fainted once again.
And Elder Lin, he’s the elder who saved me. He took care of me meticulously after carrying me home, even sacrificing his only egg-laying hen to nurse me back to health. I was truly moved by this.
Elder Lin is a solitary man without any family. I recuperated at his home for about a week, and then recovered, not just physically but the foggy sensations in my mind vanished. My injuries had long healed.
One day, many memories suddenly flooded my mind, growing clearer, and I gradually organized them. I discovered I was the reincarnation of a Medicine Immortal from the Immortal Realm, which gave me quite a shock," Wei Qun said.
"Medicine Immortal? That name is ancient. Must be a person from the Ancient Times, to have someone who comprehended the Realm of Reincarnation reincarnate, it seems you were a strong figure in the past," Chu Linfeng said.
"Master, you’re right. This Medicine Immortal predates me by millions of years. I’ve heard of his renown. No one in the Immortal Realm could rival his skills in healing and alchemy art. It’s astonishing that he reincarnated here and became your subordinate," came the voice of the Jade Immortal Emperor.
After hearing the Jade Immortal Emperor, Chu Linfeng understood. Wei Qun’s past memories resurfaced, so his cultivation soared. Here, without Immortal Stones, he might have already ascended to the Immortal Realm. It was unimaginable that Wei Qun turned out to be an Ancient Immortal.
"Boss, how are things in the Immortal Realm now? Did you bring Immortal Stones this time? In this realm, ascending to the Immortal Realm is incredibly hard. I’ve been searching for herbs to enhance my strength, refining them into elixirs, hoping to ascend the Immortal Realm soon to see you," Wei Qun said.
"I descended this time to help you all ascend the Immortal Realm sooner. I’ve brought quite a few Immortal Stones. Wei Qun, honestly, there’s a Green Frost Sect in the Immortal Realm, though it’s named Cyan Frost Emperor Palace, which I founded. Isn’t it surprising?" Chu Linfeng smiled.
"Cyan Frost Emperor Palace? Boss, you mean you’ve established a force in the Immortal Realm already? How is that possible?! You’ve only been in the Immortal Realm for over a hundred years. How did you achieve this? An Emperor Palace requires Immortal Emperor strength to preside, are you already at the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Wei Qun asked with a face full of amazement.
"More or less. My Cyan Frost Emperor Palace should be the strongest entity in the Immortal Realm now, and I’m the most powerful person there. Otherwise, how could I have descended to find you? Tomorrow, I’ll visit the Green Frost Sect to see the martial arts tournament.
This time I’ve descended for only a month, I must settle all affairs within this month. Stop being dumbfounded, have a drink. This Jadescent Nectar’s taste is identical to that in the Immortal Realm, the only difference being the added Star Power and Immortal Spirit Power," Chu Linfeng said.
At that moment, Wei Qun and the shopkeeper seemed petrified, their eyes fixated on Chu Linfeng...
